ELEVEN EAR-OLD GIRL LOST.
Little Annie Smith Found Twice in
a Vacant House.

Annie Smith, eleven years old, who said
she lived on Essex street, was found
about half past seven Friday night, curl
ed up in the course of a small room in a
vacant house, at Ocean and Jackson
place. Those who found her were per-
sons examining the rooms. They gave
her money to go home.
About twelve o'clock Patrolman John
Dunn, of the Ocean avenue station, found
the door of the house open. On in
~vestigating he found the Smith girl again.
He took her to the station house where
she gave her name and said she did not
know the number of her house on Essex
street. Later it developed that she lived
at No. al.
When questioned she said that she
worked for a family in Bayonne and
had started to walk home. Coming to
the vacant house she went in and lay
down. She told of being found the first
time of receiving money to go home
ST went home" she said, but could
not get in. Then 1 went back to the
house again."
The girl was taken to the Oakland ave-
nue. station and from there was taken
home this morning.

Biennial Scheme Behind 1t.

The object of the dilatory tactics of the
present Legislature. as predicted in THE
Jersey City News early in the session,
is beginning TO make itself evident. 1t
was suspected, as week after week went
by and no bills were passed, that the
leaders, notably General Sewell, were
keeping the Legislature idle for the pur-
pose of demonstrating that the State
could get along with one session of the
Legislature every two years just as well
as with a session every year. 1t is well
known tina General Sewell has set his
heart on biennial sessions, and the fight
which he made to have them provided for
when the last constitutional amendments
were framed, is too recent to be forgotten.
Although the Constitution cannot be
amended for three years. there is already
much talk of a biennial session amend
ment, and 1t will be forthcoming as soon
as the Constitutional restriction has ex-
pired.
There is much to say on both sides of
this question and the proposition has as
many enemies as it has friends. Those
who are opposed to the innovation de-
clare tha the present session has by no
means demonstrated that annual sessions
are unnecessary. There is plenty of work
to be lonesome of it urgently needed by
the State and the municipalities. and the
fact that the Legislature wantonly ignores
1t constitutes a very poor argument.
There are many to whom the mere fact
that the Republican leaders, with their
corporation affiliations, desire biennial
sessions, is argument enough to condemn
the project. seeing that those worthy
gentlemen never advocate what they call
"a REFORM" unless it is a scheme to
benefit their party or personal purposes
at the expense of the people. Unless
a great change of mind takes place within
the next three years. the biennial sessions
scheme will have a hard time winning a
majority of the voters of this State, no
matter what record of uselessness inter-
vening Legislatures may make under di-
rect orders from the Republican party
bosses

L[NTEN FAILURES.
DR.. Stoddard is Disappointed
at the Lack Of Young
Men at Services.

The following appeared in this weeks
issue of the st. Johns Church "Bulle-
TIM
with this Sunday, Lent Is half over.
In many respects it has been a very
successful season. In spite of rain the
church attendance has been better .than
ever before, and the singing, because of
the number of those who volunteered, has
been excellent. In one respect we have
this Lent been greatly disappointed. This
is in regard to our young men. Many
of them, so many that it make us heart
sick as we think of them, are not keep
ing Lent even by keeping up their Sum
day church attendance, which In some
cases has lapsed for a long time.
MANY of these young men have grown
up with us, been confirmed and for a time
been faithful communicates. They have
been in many Instances graduates of the
Bible Class. giving all possible promise Of
noble, useful, Christian manhood. But
they are seen among us no more. We
have no reason to think that they have
lost their faith, or gone into sin. But they
do not help US nor pray with US. And
when Lent comes there is always a hope
that we shall see them again and feel
that the old love and faith and loyalty 10
Christ is still there. We win not lose
hope even now. It is not yet too late
for them to turn about and number them
selves among the loyal sons of st. Johns,
or better still, the loyal sons of Christ.
Then besides this. there are some much
younger boys of 1e and II who, in spite of
the warning which every st. Johns boy
gets, have insisted on going up FOOLS hill
and who nave been too long at it. Two or
three have left church School and are let
ting their spiritual part, the best part of
them, run to weeds. Others have left or
never have entered the Bible Glass and
are seldom seen at church.
There is a wonderful field here for our
older young men, a field where kind and
patient influence will be sure to bring a
harvest. With the right Kind of word
and example many of these boys can be
hurried over fools hill or turned back
if they have just begun their ascent.
There is no better Lenten work for those
who are themselves safely over this PEI
Rod.
The rector has preached in several
churches this Lent. Where he has been he
has seen middle-aged men n women,
but very few young people. In fact. in
one of the churches he did not see a
single person under twenty or twenty
five.
ION the only Wednesday evening which
be had at home. he came over rather late
to the service in st. Johns, and, like the
psalmist, he opened his mouth and drew
in his BREATH for he was delighted with
the character (the youthful character) of
the congregation. Half of those present
We're young men and women and it was a
sight to make one thankful n confident
of the future of a church which keeps the
affection and calls forth loyalty of its

LEGAL AID REPORT.
Miss Philbrook Will Tell the
Association About the
the Gases.

The board of directors of the New Jer-
sey Legal Aid Association was to have
met Saturday morning, but, on account CT
its inability to get enough menbers to-
gether, it was decided to postpone the
meeting until Tuesday afternoon.
Miss Philbrook will repors at the meet
ing that at the present time she has six
ty-fve applications for legal all. These
may be classified as follows:-Marital
difficulties, including applications for di-
vorce and -non-support 10; wages of la
borers and servants, Is; installment cases,
2; accident cases, A; cruelty to children, 2;
breach of promise, 1; partnership difficult
ties, 2; fraud, 2; chattel mortgages. 2; APP
plications for advice to charitable So
~cieties, Q; estate matters, 5. and miscellan-
eous matters, 8.
In four cases Miss Philbrook has
brought suit, one for wages, one for goods
sold, one for damages for breach of con-
tract and W for divorce. Two of these
were decided satisfactorily and the other
two are still pending. Very often the full
amount due has been collected and the
prospects of making other collections are
very good. Seventeen of the applicants
have been men.
The association is indebted to the Legal
Aid Association of New York for sixteen
cases. Seven applicants have been re-
ceived at the Settlement House in Hobo
ken and six have been received at the
Whittier House. Thirty cases are still
bending.
Miss Philbrook is kept busy mostly with
servant girls who fail to get their wages
from some of the families. In most of
the cases she has secured the wages for
them. The work of the association was
begun on February ]. The advisory
council of the association consists Of Gov

Dickinson's Sad Experience.

The indomitable perseverance of Colonel
Samuel D.. Dickinson in the matter of his
so-called bipartisan police board bill for
Jersey City, deserves a better fate than
tina which appears in store for it. After
being rebuffed at Trenton by the Governor
and Republican caucus. he did not, as
many another man would nave done,
throw up the fight, but, taking another
hitch in his armor, he set out to invade
the enemy's country.
Taking with him Colonel Charles w.
ulle and Flavel MCGEE, he went to
Newark Friday night to max another
effort to win the Essex members to the
support of his measure. This time he
allowed Flavel MCGEE to do the talking,
and therein he seems to have erred
~grievously. The learned counsellor sub
mitted a brief in which he undertook to
set forth what the bill sought to do.
Summed up in a single phrase, the object
of the bill. according to Mr.. McGee's brief,
was to give the Republicans control OF
the police board so that they could have
full charge of the polling places on cleo
ton day.
The rank partisan has not entirely
crowded all sense of right and honor out
of Mr.. McGee's nature, and he considered
ii necessary to in some manner justify
this shameless partisan grab. So he de-
clared that the manner in which the
Democrats controlled the polls. counted
out Republicans right and left, terrorized
saloonkeepers. Republican and otherwise.
was he reason why the bill should be
passed.
One Of the Essex members, evidently a
sceptic as to the disinterested motives
which urged the three gentlemen of Hud-
son to advocate the measure, asked why
this bill was not introduced last year so
as to be operative in the important cleo
ton which involved q Governor and a
United States Senator. TO this. Colonel
Dickinson replied that the Republicans

HoBokEN MISSION ENDED.
Father Doyle's Impressive Funeral
Sermon--The Papal Benediction.

One of the most successful missions that
ever took place in Hoboken, if not in the
county, closed last night at the Roman
Catholic Church of Our Lady of Grace in
Hoboken. The mission opened three weeks
ago for women. The mission for women
continued for ten days. and over 5000
women attended each night.
Ten days ago the mems mission opened,
and it has been almost as much of a sue
cess as that of the women. Last night
the church, which is capable of seating
200 people, was filled to over1owing
with the men of the parish. Hundreds
stood in the aisles, and many sat on the
altar steps.
An eloquent farewell was
preached by Father Doyle, one of the mis-
sionary fathers. At the close of the
sermon one of the most impressive cere-
monies of the Catholic Church, the Papal
Benediction, was administered.
