The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-02-15


This morning. one of the principal hin
ORANGES to traffic was the stupidity and
recklessness of the truck and wagon
drivers. They tangled up themselves and
each other and obstructed the trolley cars
with censummat Indifference, not only
to the public rights but even to their
own convenience.
Wherever there was a tangle or block
AIDE there the trucks and wagons plunged
In most defantly. regardless of how they
were ever to get out. Wherever there
was a chance, trucks and wagons cut in
ahead of the cars, instead of waiting ten
seconds and falling in behind. Then, after
hsuch swearing and hell-rlnging, they
WORLD be compelled to founder into the
drift to let the car pass, n afterwards
they would have to founder back again,
each operation causing masses of snow
to fall on the rails.
The police. of course. have had their
hands full, in these trying days, but now
the worst is over, Chief Murphy
might well instruct them to pay atten-
tien1fo those drivers who wantonly make
the situation worse than it is.

EASTER MORNING.

Twas Easter morning, so fair and bright;
The church was decked in lilies white,
And all seemed full Of peace and rest
Rest, on this day Of all days the best.
The earnest faces and reverent hush
Told Of hearts full of thankfulness;
And many forgot both sorrow and care
AS they bowed their heads in grateful
prayer.
The tones Of the organ rose soft and clear
And hung in the air as If in fear
To break this stiffness so full of meaning,
That each soul seemed sunk in dreaming.
Then from the loft rich voice thrilled,
And with its music the vast church filled;
1t rose and sunk in sweet, low measures,
Or sparkled forth its heavenly treasures.
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Behold your Lord in glory clothed.
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Come, and in His love be robed.

Two Kinds Of Housekeeping

"Why my dear, how tired and worn you
look; have you been ill?" This from a
bright, fresh little woman who had stepped
in to make a call on her friend She had
found her looking ill indeed, and though it
was late in the afternoon, she still wore her
working garb. The house was in the most
perfect order, not a speck of dust could be
found, every chair was just so, and the re-
sult-a very tired woman and very un-
tidy one, too.
She spoke in a weary voice to her caller.
"No, have not been i'll. am tired; the
house must be fixed and no one can do it
but myself. Things do get out of place so
quickly. Oh, there comes John, and l
know he forgot to hang up his hat There,
he slung his books on a chair. John, hang
up your hat, and take your books to your
IoOm.' The caller felt that she had hap
pened in at just the wrong time, and so
took her departure.
In few moments Johns father came in
and greeted his wife with, "Say, Mary,
met Mrs. Smith out here and l do declare
if she doesn't stay young the longest of
any one | ever knew" He glanced at his

who did as little as Mrs. Smith She allows
her boys to do all sorts of things in the
house and never worries about putting
things in place again, either. A pretty
house you would find if l stood such
things" So saying, Mrs. John Lindsay left
the room. John junior chuckled at the
thought of playing in that house; he knew
too well what followed if he ever attempted
such thing.
Meanwhile Mrs. Smith pursued her way
home with thoughtful brow. As she en-
tered, a tall, fne-looking man greeted her
with kiss and two stout boys rushed to
give Mama hug. She smiled to herself as
she took note of the chairs piled up for
fort, but "the boys and Papa were having
a battle, and nothing must be disturbed"
AS for Mrs. Lindsay she had had lesson,
and she remembered it. A few days later
as her husband entered the house, he no.
ticed that the place looked more hOme.like
than it ever had. The curtains were up,
letting in the last rays of the sun, and
touching everything with a glory. With
sigh of pleasure Mr.. Lindsay settled him
self in an easy chair to read the paper. The
front door opened and light footstep came
down the hall. He glanced from his paper
in surprise when he saw his WIFE She was
dressed in one of her prettiest gowns, and
looked bright and smiling as she gave him
a kiss. The tired look she usually wore
was gone, and the change made her look
very young looking
"Just think, John, 1 have been calling,
and on sweeping day But then the house
looks well, don't you think so, deari"
1T never looked BETTER" was the answer,
"and my wife is young once more. What
makes the change, Mary2"
Then she told him all about it, and Mr..
Lindsay inwardly blessed Mrs. Smith. John
junior came rushing in. Down went books
on the floor, and cap on top, and he showed
a bag of marbles, challenging his father to
a game. So one corner Of the sitting-room
was cleared, and Mrs. Lindsay smiled to

IX.-JOHN JAY.
BY JAMES ALBERT WOODBURY.
PH.D.

BY JAMES ALBERT WOODBURY..
PH.D.
The public life Of John Jay brings into
review the epoch Of American history
from the opening Of the Revolution 10 the
beginning of Jefferson's administration,
from liza TO 1901. period of little more
than quarter of a century. In studying
Jays career during that eventful period
we see him as an advocate of independ-
ence. as Minister TO Spain, as a negotiator
of the famous peace for independence in
1872, as Secretary for Foreign Affairs
from 1854 TO 1889. as first Chief Justice Of
the United States from 1889 TO 1894, as the
maker of the noted Jay treaty" OF 1884.
and as Governor OF New York from 1876
to 1898. Throughout this great career,
whether he be regarded as a man. as a
diplomatist. as a jurist, as a statesman.
or as a publicist Jay may confidently be
pronounced one of the noblest and ableCt
public men in the annals of America.
John Jay was of Dutch and French
Huguenot descent. He was born in New
York City en- December u. 1745 He grad
uated from Kings College, now Column
bia, in 1854, and four years later. after
hard study in law. he was admitted to the
bar. Already the controversy was on
which led TO the American Revolution.
Jay was of a WING family. His fathers
had fled from France and Holland in Lro-
test against acts of royal prerogative
and tyranny. In 1774 Jay married a Liv-
ingston, a representative OF another whig
family Of prominence in America, and
thus we see that Jays antecedents. asso-
Citations and inclinations all combined to
lead him 10 throw himself into the cause
Of American independence. Jays con-
