Ladies' Catholic Society Down
Proposed Amendment.

Especial to .sThe Jersey city News."]
ASBURY PARK. July p. 1S99.-More
than ordinary interest was manifested
yesterday morning in the third days ses-
sion of the Ladies' Catholic Benevolent
Association. The attendance was large.
as it was known tina an important
amendment was to come up for discuss
sion. Prayer was offered by Rev. Peter
Cauley, Of Erie. Pa, after which the as
ISOLATION ordered a telegram Of sympathy
sent to Mrs. Felice Girardit. Of Detroit,
who was called home last might by a
despatch announcing the serious Illness
Of her husband. Shortly after the asso-
word came zach that Mr.. Girardit was
dead.
The association adjourned its business
session and offered up prayers for the
deceased.
Interest was aroused when the associ-
alton took uu. the proposed amendment
providing that the supreme medical ex-
aminer shall be elected by the delegates
instead Of by the supreme trustees, as at
present.
Mrs. NJ. F. Tassett, of Dover one of
the brightest women in the convention.
took the floor. Bishop McQuaid having
asked that she be presented to the asso-
citation. Mrs. Tassett made a brilliant adj
dress, in which she spoke against the
amendment. claiming that 1t would be
detrimental to the best interests Of the
order. She welded a powerful influence.
and to her fair and impartial presenta-
tion of the case the proposed amendment
was defeated.
At the afternoon session it was ecide
to establish an official organ, the editor
to be selected by the Board Of Trustees.
Tomorrow the now officers of the a~ssocia-
ton will be elected. This evening the del
egates and members of the association to
the number of 500 enjoyed a clambake at

WHITTIER HOUSE GROUNDS
Children at Last Have
Place to Play Off
the Street.

Realizing the crying need in Jersey City
for a public playground, and the inability
for the Board Of Education to furnish one
at present, Whittier House has come to
the rescue and has transformed its grass
plot and back yard into a haven of rest
and pleasure for the tots of the neighbor-
hood.
Here about twenty-five children are ac-
e~ommodated daily with toys, shade and
entertainment. The playground is in
charge of Miss Cassard, Miss Bradford's
assistant. who devotes her whole time
personally to the children. A tent has
been erected, under which the youngsters
may take shelter from the hot SUM-, and
there is a large double swing for their
amusement, as well as croquet, ten pins
and other games. Then when the young
sters are tired of all these, or it is too hot
to run about. there are picture books to
be perused or Miss Cassard reads to them
some interesting story to suit their years.
with the wisdom of Mohammed the
seashore also has been brought to Whit
tier House, at least in part, as a few
barrels of white beach sand, pals, Show
els and shells will testify, and all day
long the boys n girls amuse them
selves digging and building castles in a
large packing box, where the treasure Is
kept.
There is no age limit and n child
who applies is admitted, though, of
course, children of over twelve seldom APP
ply. and no ~roughness of any kind is al
lowed. The boys On all occasions are
taught to give in to the girls, while the
girls, on the other hand. are taught UNI
s~elfshness, thus character Is formed as
well as the mind developed by the read
ing. pictures and sand play, not 70. men-
ton the instructive games participated
In under a competent Instructor.

A CANINE EXEC uTIoN

Some time g the little daughter of
Calvin Jenkins was attacked by a dog be-
longing to John Witt, of No. $40 Mon
mouth street. The Jenkins family live
at the same address. Mr.. Jenkins lodged
a complaint against the dog with Police
Captain Kelly of the Seventh street sta

to the station house to be shot. He did
not do so, but took the animal to his place
Of business instead.
Yesterday his daughter took his dinner
to him. and while playing with the AMI
NAL he turned on her and bit her Sc

He thereupon took it to the station house,
and asked Captain Kelly to have the dog
dispatched forthwith. The s. P. c. A.

TRENTON. July Il. 1S9s.4The Board Of
Managers Of the State Hospital above this
city met Yesterday afternoon for the
further consideration Of the plans Tor the
new dormitories submitted by Architect
Harry e. Finch. II was suggested that,
Instead Of the proposed two story build

erected. and the Board also examined

believed that the three-story building viii
be more economical ana better adapted

should advertise for bids on both build

Free spesch and the Use OF the
Streets.

two socialist speakers attempted 10
hold a public meeting in the streets last
evening, without a permit from the city
authorities. They were arrested ana
lacked M. This morning, in the Police
Court. they set up the claim that the
Constitution of the United States guaran-
Tees free speech, and the right cannot
be abridged by any local ordinance
OF course this plea is preposterous- me
right Of free speech is h right to say
what you please in proper time and place
--and take the consequences If you should
not say it; but this is another matter.
The Constitution gives no right to eon<
fiscate either public or private property
permanently or temporarily, for the pur-
pose of exploiting your views.
The streets are public property; they are
DESIGNED for the traffic and travel. To
convert them to the uses of a place OF
public assembly is a virtual coniscation,
SO far as the general public, who have a
right to their unrestricted use for their
proper purposes, are concerned. Besides,
the abutting property owners have an
easement in the streets which includes
light, air, quiet. privacy and unimpeded
access TO their premises. Their rights
would be seriously infringed If promiscu-
Gus assemblies were allowed.
The public, acting through its repre-
sentatIves. the city officials, nay OF
course, grant permission to use its streets
for q special purpose for a specified time
or times: but this is plainly a pure act
of grace, and it must be done positively
and affirmatively, and cannot be assumed
or inferred from silence on he part OF
the officials. Still less can the permis-
sion be dispensed with, altogether, as the
two individuals in the present case seem
to believe. Their plea, indeed. carried TO
Its logical CONCLUSION would warrant them
in taking possession of a park, a police
station or the Assembly Room in the
City Hall, whenever they thought they
had something to say.
The right of free speech is practically
the right to hire a hall, and a very rea-
sonable fine for Justice Potts to impose
in the pending cases would be about the
gum that the rent of a meeting room for
q night would come to.

The Police and the Newsboys.

The police showed remarkable imbe-
ciity yesterday in respect TO the News
boys strike. However funny this occur
renee may nave been in its earlier stages,
there was no fun about it about $3.50 P NJ,
when a d~isorderly mob of about two hun
bred lads and boys. not one in five OF
whom were newsboys, took to mobbing
the dealers and carriers and firing stones,
sticks and brickbats, regardless of con-
sequences.
several of the newsdealers were badly
hurt. One man had his fingers cut to the
bone and another had his face frightfully
bruised by the young rufians. a majority
of whom seemed to be cadets of the yari-
Gus growler gangs. Papers were stolen,
and store windows were frequently in
danger.
During the prevalence Of the disorder,
the police. did nothing. When one man
was being seriously maltreated, not an
officer came in sight, and a message sent
to two patrolmen and a telephone call to
Police Headquarters were totally disre-
garded.
There may be something highly humor-
Gus about riot n violence on the
part of de noosies," but it does not strike
Us that the police are employed for the
promotion Of Righteousness Of just that
kind. They might. of course, wink at a
little hustling and yah-yahing. but it
really seems as If the line ought to have
been drawn at brlckbats.
