weight of the feast which adorned the
centre of the room. The decorations
We're of smilax and carnations artistically
arranged by the young ladies themselves,
who judging from the delicious viands
served, might have just emerged from
a cooking instead of a training school.
There We're salads, with biscuits so
light that they airily flew. cake, coffee,
ice cream and bon bons, with entrees
galore.
All the teachers who had trained the
young ladies( and gentleman. for there
is one of that sex in the class) were in
vited and came to the feast. S~uperinten-
den Henry Snyder was there as a guest
of honor, as were Director Mulvanyy,
DIR. Thomson and Mrs. Marvin, each of
whom, made short addresses ~bubbling
with wit, while full of good. sound, prac-
teal advice, and were duly ~applauded.
Nobody objected to remaining after
school" and the afternoon was lar az,
from the building.

JOKE ON THE MANAGER.
Statue for the Village Postmaster"
Causes Fun.

1.-THE Village Postmaster" the rural
play that has met with SO much success
in New York, is owned and directed by
Mr.. J. w. Rosenquest, the manager of
the Fourteenth Street Theatre, in that
city. 1t seems that without his knowl-
edge a profile statue of Mr.. Frank Nor
daunt in the military uniform worn in
the Colonial days, and which Mr.. Nor
daunt wears in the training day scene,
had been made by the carpenters of the
theatre and placed on the stage. From
a distance it looked like a live person.
One of the men of the business staff of
the house stepping into Mr.. R~osenquest's
office said to Mr.. Rosenquest: Governor.
Mr.. Mordaunt wants to see you" Mr..
Rosenquest rose hastily from his chair
and walke to the railing at the rear of
the balcony.
Hello, Frank said Rosenquest, what
can / do for yon?' No reply came. He
called again, thinking Mordaunt did not
hear him. Again no reply. A litter was
heard from the vacant seats and it finally
dawned on the manager that a joke was
being played ON him..
Returning to his Office he blew down
the speaking tube for one of his assist
ants and asked if that was Mordaunt,
and if so, what was he doing here when
THE Village Postmaster was playing in
Brooklyn.
"Oh, that is only a statue of Nor
daunt, made to be placed in the lobby of
the various theatres where The Village
Postmaster is to play this season." was
the answer.

WILL BUILD new CHURCH
GreenviIle Lutherans Are
Growing Rapidly and
Need More Room.

AT a meeting of the Board of Directors
of the English Lutheran Church of the
Redeemer, on Linden avenue, Greenville,
held a few evenings ago, the members of
the board received Instructions to look for
a suitable site upon which to build a new
house of worship for the rapidly increas-
ing congregation. Some time ago it was
decided to build, but it was not definitely
settled until the last meeting. For some
time past the pastor and members of the
Board of Trustees have felt the need of
new and more ~commodious quarters in
which to conduct services, as the room
now occupied in Bamber Hall is far too
small to accommodate the enormous gath
ering of children each Sunday morning.
Every available bit of space is utilized
and still the tots are crowded for room.
just how soon plans for the new
structure win be completed is not known,
even by the trustees, but It is hoped that
no time will be lost, in pushing the pro-
ject to a successful termination. Various
sites have been discussed, and the mem
bers came to the conclusion that an ex-
cellent place to build, would be almost
opposite the New York Bay Cemetery,
about ten minutes walk from the present
ptdc0 VI WOISliiD. IL lS tHUuSHI tldt d
suitable piece of property can be pur-
chased for a reasonable sum and work
begin in a very short time.
The condition of our church at pres
emit" said one of the trustees, warrants
the immediate erection of another and
much larger church. We are, as you
know, greatly pressed for room in our
present quarters, and there is practically
no way to alleviate the crowded condi-
ton of our Sunday School, so that it
is necessary that we obtain a new build
ing n1irkiE At nllr last mRernR eight
new members We're enrolled, and we feel
proud of the rapid advancement We are
making and hope in time to make our
church as sound and substantial as any
Lutheran church in the city. We are in
a position to do it. as the rapid progress
we are making will show"

LOST HIS HAT.

A few evenings ago an informal recep-
tion was given at the residence of MIR. and
Mrs. Charles st. Clair, Garfield and
Hooker avenues and since then Joseph
Kaiser, the proprietor of Columbia Hall,
has been lamenting the loss of a derby
hat. He was one of the guests on this
occasion, and enjoyed himself immensely,
but his joy was turned to sorrow on
discovering that his headgear had mys-
teriously disappeared. A search washin-
stituted for the missing hat, but with
no success. Mr.. Kaiser was compelled to
go home in an old volunteer fireman's
hat, much to the amusement Of his
tered the house during the festivities.

Board of Education Change to Please
Newark.

The citizens of Jersey City should give
their attention to the various schemes
for changing the Board of Education
which are now on foot in the city of New
ark. AS every law affecting Newark also
affects Jersey City. our citizens should
look into the Newark movement, or, some
fine morning, they will wake up to find
themselves saddled with some objection
able form of government for our public
schools.
Newark has a board of thirty members,
elected by the people, and at this time
equally divided between the two parties.
Just now it is deadlocked over the APP
of a ~janitor for the new High
School, and a few days ago two of it's
members INDUCED in fisticufs over the
matter on the public streets. Charges Of
mismanagement of funds and general in
.@competency are also brought against the
resent board, and the citizens are loudly
calling for a change. They all declare
that the board is too cumbersome and
unwieldy, and they agree that it should
consist of a much smaller number of
new system, they are at SKIES and sew
ems. How the commissioners are to be
selected, their number, whether they are
to be chosen by districts or for the city
at large, and whether they shall receive
compensation, and, if so, how much, are
questions over which both the public and
the politicians are divided. Several
schemes have been suggested, but none
has yet been agreed upon.
The Newark people, however, mean
business, and they will appear before
the Legislature soon with a bill which
they will push vigorously. The Board of
Trade of Newark has appointed a COM
mittee to confer with a similar one repre-
senting this city, for the purpose of Sc
curing, if possible, a measure which will
be satisfactory to both communities.
What the N-ewarkers will, in all likeli-
hood, decide to offer will be a measure
providing for a board of from five to
seven members, appointed by the Mayor
for a term of five years, and to be at sal
aries of from $1,000 to $1,000 a year.
This is a matter which should receive
serious consideration from the citizens of
Jersey City. Whether they wish to
change the present system of administer
ing our educational affairs, which gives
every section of the city an equal repre-
sentation in the board, without cost, for
one in which only the few are represent
ed. and that at a cost of from 5000 to
s14, 900 per annum, is a question which
should be carefully and conscientiously
considered.
If our citizens do not think it advisa-
BILE to make any change, they should get
to work, without loss of time, to offset
the work being done in Newark The
Essex delegation, in the Legislature, is
in full accord with the demand for a
change, and unless the Hudson members
can block the way, a new Board of Edu-
cation will be foisted upon this city in
the course of a few months.
