.WOMAN'S CLUB CALENDAR.
Interesting Programmes for
Next Year to Be Pub
lished In Book Form.

meeting of the various ehairmen of
the subdivisions of the Jersey City
Woman's Club was held yesterday after
noon, at the residence of Mrs. John L.
Scudder, Bergen and Boyd avenues, to
make final arrangements for the printing
in book form of all the programmes for
next years work.
This book, as decided at yesterdays
meeting is to contain only the pro-
grammes of the various departments
with the names of those who will take
part, but full list of the club members
with the department to which each lady
belongs, with the club officers, chairmen
and special committees, and each chair
man handed to Mrs Scudder the club
president copy of her plans and pro-
gramme for the ensuing year, these lists
were then handed to Mrs. George w.
Case, who will take charge of the print
ing.
According to these lists there will be a
few changes in the regular routine work
of the club. The Home Department under
Miss Louise Edge, has beer, fully organ
lied, and submits a most interesting pro-
gramme on subjects of Home Improve
ment. The Philanthropic Department, un-
der Mrs. Brice Collerd, will this year have
an appropriate paper at each meeting in
addition to the regular sewing bee of ior-
mer years. The Art Department too, un-
der Mrs. Charles Calvin Stimets, has also
been fully organized and will meet regu-
larly the first Friday in each month.
The two greatest changes, however, are
in the Town Improvement Department,
under Mrs. Hudspeth- Benson, and the
Music Department, under Mrs. Garwood
Ferris, both of which will have regular
programmes containing a list of respec-
lively interesting subjects for papers. The
Town Improvement will hold regular
meetings, as will the Music Department.
In fact this department has as much
work before it as any other. To begin
with, 1t is always in evidence with its
Glee Club at every regular club meeting
for which it must rehearse three weeks
out of every month. The fourth meeting
will be devoted to the literary side of
the music question, when such subjects
as Church Music "Organ Music and
Musical Instruments will be discussed
so that this department must meet once
every week and once on club week.
Another matter brought up yesterday
was the question of the club breakfast,
the date for which has ben set for Feb
ruary IA, and steps will be taken imned-
lately to secure speakers.
The complete club calendar or pro-
gramme book will probably go into the
hands of the printers next week, and all
who have not sent their names are re-
quested to do SO at once. 1t will be ready
for distribution among the club members
early in the fall.

Turn verein was held last evening at
Turn Hall, Danforth avenue. The resig-
nation of Mr.. George Walter was received.

him. He is an able instructor and very
popular with the pupils, number of
whom have become highly proficient un-
der his instruction. OF late Mr.. Walter
could not devote the necessary time to the
instruction, which was the cause of his
resignation.
Mr.. Otto Weis-Hamburge said last
evening that the Veresn had number of
excellent instructors in view, one of whom
will be selected at later meeting.
1t was decided to close the recently
formed German School on July 1, to re-
open about the first week in September.
A class for adults will be formed about
that time.

BODY IN THE RIVER
Several Boats Pass Without Trying
!: to Secure It.

There was considerable excitement
among the fifty odd passengers on the
Brooklyn Annex boat that left its Brook
lyn slip at 7:45 this morning. One of the
passengers leaning over the rail of the
fore deck discovered body of man ap-
parently about twenty-five years of age.
floating Immediately alongside the ferry
boat He excitedly pointed out the object
to passengers standing near by. Their
curiosity excited that of the saloon pas
sengers.
A cry of MAN overboard'' was suffi-
cient to draw all the passengers. The
boat swept on it's course with almost a
hundred pair of eyes fixed upon the rapid
ly receding body. Deckhands saw the
floating body. Several tugs swept by,
the crews apparently excited by the ap-
pearance of the human object.
Some of the passengers wondered why
some of the boats did not stop and pick
up the floating body. The face of the
body was bloated and swollen. The hair
was dark. The clothes were of dark
blue.

AFTER CARL LENTz
Essex Lawyers Club Pushes
the Charges Against
the Major.

Especial to sThe Jersey City News."]
NEWARK, June 2, 1S99.--By vote Of
81 to 8 the Essex County Lawyers Club
yesterday decided to place in the hands Of
Attorney General Grey the case of Major
Carl Lentz, a prominent member Of the
bar who is alleged to be guilty of unpro-
fessional conduct. Because of the crop
ping out of these allegations the Major
saw the position oil prosecutor of the pleas
of Essex county slip away from him just
as it seemed in his grasp. and later was
compelled to resign the craftsmanship of
the County Republican Committee and re-
linquish the absolute control he had ac-
quired over Republican politics in Essex
county.
There was a spirited debate over the
motion to refer the case to the Attorney
General for disbarment proceedings Con-
gressman R. Wayne Parker, his father,
Cortlandt Parker, and John o. H. Pitney,
brother of State Senator Mahlon Pi,ney
eloquently championed Lentz and opposed
the motion.
According to the anti-Lentz faction this
is defeat for the Major, but his friends
claim it will serve as desired oppor-
tunity for him to vindicate himself in
the eyes of the world.
Major Lentz is born fighter and he
lost an arm in the Civil War. His bellig-
erent spirit has made for him many enc
mics in his own party, but he success
fully maintained his position as leader of
the Essex County Republican organiza-
ton until he was attacked through his
connection with the bar.
His friends claim that the political an
linus of the charges made against him
will be shown and he will be able to
down his enemies, if the Supreme Court
orders an official investigation.

A Great Mans Trouble.

The optimism of Mark Tapley does not
seem to be circumstance to that of the
sHon." Carl Lentz of Newark. Few men
have met with more distressing vicissi-
tudes in such a short time than have
befallen the Hon" Carl, and yet he still
comes up smiling, ready for another
bout.
Failing to down the doughty Major
in any other way, his enemies brought
forward charges against him OF unpro-
fessional conduct These caused him to
lose the Prosecutorship of Essex county
and finally compelled him to resign the
craftsmanship of the Essex County Repub-
lican Committee, which took from him the
control he had acquired over Republican
politics of Essex county. Not content
with this. his enemies have taken steps
to have him disbarred.. By vote OF 81
to 8, the Essex county lawyers club de-
cided to place in the hands of Attorney
General Grey the charges against the
Major, with view to having them laid
before the Supreme Court, with motion
for disbarment.
Most men, under these circumstances,
would be inclined to take gloomy view
of things; but not so' the .'Hon." Carl.
He is cheerfulness personifed, and, ac.
cording to his friends, welcomes, with
omen arms. the proceedings taken against
him. 1t will allow him, the friends say,
to defend himself against the assaults OF
his enemies and to clear his reputation
of the vile stains which they have placed
upon 1t. The Major, his friends add, is
q fighter, and this battle to finish, which
has just begun, will be watched with in
terest from all parts of the State.
