First United Presbyterian
Church Lays Its
Cornerstone.
MR.. MEANS HONORED
Member Of Thirty-one Years
Standing Places it With
Silver Trowel
Mr.. MEANS HONORED

An event Of great Importance to the
members of the First United Presby-
terrain Church, at Newark avenue and
Barrow street, was the laying of the
corner stone of the new church, at Sip
and Tonnele avenues. This event took
place yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of about one hundred and fifty peo-
pie.
After the Invocation by the Rev lame
A. Reed, ID. D., a box containing a num-
Der OF documents and records. was placed
in the hollow beneath the corner stone
which was suspended by means Of a der
rick. Mr.. John Means. who has been af-
hliated with the church for thirty years,
was given the honor of laying the corner
stone. The was brief. A sill
yer trowe was sused by Mr.. Means.
The Rev. Arthur n. Thompson. D. D.,
of the Westminster Presbyterian Church,
then spoke. He said that the congrega-
ton soon to charge its field of labor, was
more than welcome to the Heights. where
a much broader field is open for Gods
work. He wished the new corners suc-
cess, and ended by saying that he hoped
the efforts Of the workers would be
crowned with many blessings.
The Revs. A. S. Biddle, James Parker,
Phi. D., James A. Reed. DID,, mi Thomas
W. Anderson. DID,, followed with con
gratulatory speeches. After a prayer by
the Rev. D. J. Patterson, a hymn was
sung and then the Rev. James Parker
pronounced the benediction.
The members of the congregations feel
happy that their new house Of worship is
to be located on the Heights. For thirty
six years services have been held in tie
small building on Barrow street, near
Newark e
The new building viii be one story and
basement and will be of wood. The in
terror will be so arranged as to provide q
Sunday schoo room with a seating ca
pacity Of 800 and a church with a capa-
city of $50. The church and school will
be divided by a railing partition. The cost
of the structure is estimated at about
so. 600. Judging from the plans the struc-
ture viii be a handsome one when ready
for services about Christmas time. Work
on the edifce is being pushed rapidly.
The pastor. the Rev. A. J.. Henry, said
the change was necessary, because Of the
Of the members to the Bergen Sec
ton and because of the noise made by the
trains on the trestIe which runs along
Railroad avenue, but a block from the
present church building. Pastor Henry
is confident that his congregation will as
sumo large proportions when duly es-
tablished on the Heights.

The Licensing Spirit Gone Mad.

The interesting discovery has JUST been
made that dressmakers must be licensed
in New York. Under the tenement house
labor law, they m not only take out
licenses but must submit to yisitations by
the Factory Inspectors. whatsoever these
chartered despots choose to invade their
premises. The fashionable proprietresses
are up in arms against the outrageous
statute, but Daniel Leary, the superin-
tendent of Licenses, cooIly insists that ex>
pressions were Intentionally struggled into
the law to cover these places, and he
proposes to show his authority to the full
est extent.
A further outrage which has just been
discovered in the law is that it covers
stores situated on the ground floor OF
any building. the upper portion of which
is used for habitation. OF course no such
nonsense was ever contemplated by the
people who advocated the law or by the
Legislature which enacted it. But the
power which it gives to Leary and his
gang is too great to be sacrificed.
This is legislation zone mad. 1t is mere
faetious interference by the State with
the private lives and private business of
citizens. It serves no imaginable good
purpose. 1t is yexatious, arbitrary, op-
pressixe. 1t tends to drive business out
of New York. 1t tends to create hatred
and contempt for the law, and to stir
up q spirit OF resistance TO n evasion
OF authority. It is akin TO the sumptuary
ana paternal enactments of the Middle
Ages, WHICH were most stringent at times
when lawiessness and disorder were most
rampant. A little more of the same sort
Of thing and the whole community will
unite IN a taeit conspiracy to ignore the
law altogether, just as tens of thousands
did In the good old days of high tariff and
Wholesale smuggling in England.
Seriously, if this sort of thing keeps up,
people viii haye to get licenses TO live at
ali. n government inspectors viii a
the entree even to the privacy of their
homes.

TOM BARRETT ONCE A HoBoEENlTE
He Raced a Number OF Horses on
:Guttenberg Track.

Tom Barrett the well known turfman
who died at Sheepshead Bay yesterday,
was a former resident of Hoboken. His
brother. Mike Barrett, is now living in
the latter town. Barrett was one of four
brothers, all of whom were jockies. Mike
was at one time the Tod Sloan of the Gut
tenberg track. Tom owned several cele-
brated horses in his day. Blizzard and
Jack Rose were among those in his
Gutenberg paddock which numbered
twenty or more horses. Tom also owned
St. Clair which ran one of the early races

ing back over a week or 50, have been
in the papers.
The extraordinary thing is that the per-
petrators of these outrages receive a GER
tain amount Of applause. The public
| sense of decency seems to be SO far dis
torted that it Will approve the action of
any Jezabel who arms herself with a COW
hide and starts cut to avenge her wrongs
real or imaginary. in defiance OF law and
order and the proper Instincts of her sex.
The worst of it is that the spirit Of toll
Grafton extends to the authorities. The
perpetrators of the assaults are seldom
arrested. and, when they are they are
usually discharged or let off with a nomi-
nal penalty. IN the three cases cited
above, only one woman was arrested, and
she got off with a fine of IS.
This whole practice ought to be stamped
out with an iron hand. Every woman
who yields a whip in the street-especial-
ly where deIiberation is apparent-sflould
be sent to the Pe%nitentiary, witt hard
labor, for six months. What would be
lone with a man who might attempt to
publicly chastise his unfaithful wife, upon
finding her in company with another man?
The federation which is afforded to this
form of female vengeance is an insult to
womanhood and an outrage on public
morals.

At the dinner of the German Catholic
ssocieties of this diocese, held in this city
Monday evening, resolutions were adopt
ed strongly endorsing the ~sectarian school
idea We sincerely deprecate this atti-
tude, and we cannot help thinking that
Catholics themselves are the most serious
losers BY the isolation which they cult
waite.
We never hear of Methodists misunder-
standing Presbyterians. or Baptists sus-
Erecting the designs of Episcopalians. They
are all 50 accustomed to live together,
from their school lays on, thai there is
no room for misconceptions of each 9TH
er's principles or ideals and no chance for
suspicion as to each others patriotism,
On the other hand, in private life and in
public speeches and printed discussions
we see the most grotesque misrepresenta-
tons Of the Catholic communion gravely
put forward as gospel truth-a familiar
example is the dread which some extreme
Protestants nave that the Pope is schem
ing to gain temporal domination over the
United States. For these misconceptions
we say IT in the friendliest spirit-Catho-
lies themselves are a good deal to blame,
for II they awaited themselves of the
public school system. with The same
breadth and cordiality that other denomi-
nations do, misunderstanding and sus-
picions would necessarily disappear
through the constant personal intercourse
OF the young people, It would become i'm
possible for those Of one sect to be to-
tally in error as to the thoughts and
consciences of those Of another with
whom they held daily social n intel
-1ectual relations. In this way the almost
defensive attitude which Catholics are
sometimes forced to assume in asserting
their patriotism and loyalty would totally
disappear. Knowing them better, their
fellow citizens Of other creeds would pres
entity be astonished that any protestations
on their part should be thought neces-
sary.
or course We do not for a moment adj
vocate i~rreligious education. Quite the
contrary. But we hold that, while the
children Of all faiths should be carefully
educated in the principles Of their re-
ligions, under the guidance of their
churches, a common secular education for
all is not only feasible but most desirable

Spet out the rune Of their two destinies.

Poppy and white anemone were they'

They watched to see their fates from darkness
drawn.
