MUSICAL MATTERS.
Mme. Carreno's Recital.

Nine. Teresa Carreno's recitals on the
afternoons Of April Is and Is, at CHECKER
ing Hall. New York, present opportunities
which music lovers and musicians cannot
afford to lose. Such an absolutely free
and ~unshackled genius as her readings of
the works Of the great composers present
is absolutely without a parallel among
the giants of piano playing Of the present
day. She has attained a pitch Of virtu-
ositv which, like List, seems fairly to
laugh to scorn all technical difficulties
and her colossal tone dominates the great
orchestras and foods the hall with over
whelming power.
The programme for Saturday afternoon,
Aprii Is. is as follows:-I. a, Organ Fan
fasie and Fugue in 6 minor, Bach-Liszt:
i. Sonata quasi una Fantasia. OPP. q,
No. /. Beethoven. Andante (Allegro-An-

THE NEW JERSEY.
President Has Given That
Name to the New
Battleship.

WASHINGTON, April s, 1Ss9.-The Pres
ident yesterday named the twelve new
warships recently provided by Congress
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., New Jersey,
Georgia.
Armored cruisers-West Virginia, Me-
braska, California.
CruisersNDenyer, Des Moines, Chalta-
nooga, Galveston, Tacoma. Cleveland.
Petitions by the hundred have been
flowing into the White House and Navy
Department ever since the new ships We're
provided. urging the merits of various
names. The President and Secretary
Long enjoyed the good natured rivalry
and in making the final determination
consideration was given not only to the
urgency of the influence brought to bear,
but also to the several sections OF the
country.
New Jersey made her plea through
V!ce-Fresident Hobart, Attorney General
Griggs. Governor Voorhees,, ex-Secretary
McAdoo. Senator Sewell, the Board Of
Trade of Jersey City n many CONNER

powerful ordnance for vessels OF their
class upon a trial displacement OF about
IS, 500 tons, to be sheathed and coppered'
and to have the highest practicable speed
and great radius of action, ana to cost,
exclusive of armor and armament, not
exceeding So, 500, 600 each"
1t will be some time before the name
New Jersey will appear upon one OF
these battieships. These three, vessels
and the three armored cruisers cannot
he commenced until the contract for
arruor has been made for the vessels.
This provision was inserted in the naval
act under which they will be built IN the
following paragraph
"And provided further, That no cor-
| tracts for the armor for any vesseis au-
thorized by this act shall be made at an
average rate exceeding $500 per ton OF
.24e pounds. including royalties, and in
no case shall q contract be made fer the
construction of the hull Of n vessel au-
thorized by this act until a contract has
been made for the armor of such yes
sells"
AS it will be impossible to secure q
contract for the kind of arn1or designated
at the price of $500 a ton, the construc-
ton of these battleships and armored
cruisers will not be commenced unit
Congress makes some future regulation
regarding the armor plate.
In the meantime, however, plans viii
be prepared for the construction of tbs
vessels and as 1t is reckoned that this
! work will require several months the
| Navy Department will not be ready te
| call for bids for the construction Of these
| vessels much before next December
| when Congress will meet and can take
| action on the armor-plate question.

The Home and Mission for Homeless
Destitute Asaen. recently opened at NO.
Il Ifobog venue, is progressing very
favorabIy ! much good has already
heep done BY those connected with it.
It will be remembered that since tne

in this community where a destitute wom-
an could find even a temporary shelter.

home. Mrs. AyIief, ex-fnatron OF the
Newman Mission, with a number OF per-
eaus interested in the work. opened a
new one at above mentioned ADDRESS
since the Home opened, on March l.
Ynnch good has been accomplished. A
number of women have been accommo-
dated. several of whom homes have been
fo11ud for. and it has indeed proved a
h,assine in many ways. Attached to the
Honae is d Gospel Mission f"Lighthouse"
Mission). where services are held every
evening.
The general attendance is steadily in
creasing and much interest is shown in
fhat branch of the work. As the support
of fhe Home is not carried by any par
tsc1,lar society or organization. it is hoped
that the general public will literally res
pond and aid US in keeping its doors

tanned any substances that might have

so prevalent during the time that water
was turned into the city mains. The min

especially examined and arsenic and other
poisonous metals searched for.
