residence of Miss Helen G.. Noble, No.
81 Hoboken avenue, where the meeting
was held, at the appointed time, n the
programme proceeded.
The subjects for the afternoons study
were Commerce and ''Navigation,"
the latter being handled by Lieutenant
Eaton, of the United States Navy, son
of Mrs. George Eaton. Mr.. Eaton gave
1.-THE ladies a most interesting and INSTRUCT
tive talk, explaining all the implements
of navigation as he proceeded. He spoke
of the early ~navigators, with their ways
and means of transportation, which he
compared with the improvements of to-
day. He had with him a celestial chart,
which he showed the ladies how to use,
explaining the various circles, and a small
model of a ships log. the use of which he
also explained.
But what most interested the ladies
were a number of pilot charts on which
are kept records of the tide, winds and
several other elemental facts which are
published monthly. These charts were
passed from M to hand for examina-
ton. The Lieutenant also spoke about
sounding, and relater several interesting
personal experiences.
Mrs. George Eaton read a paper on
Commerce, comparing the progress, in
that line, of the various countries dur
ing the nineteenth century. She spoke of
the numerous imports of the different
countries, saying that Holland was not
as much of a centre as some
of the other countries as it seemed
sufficient in itself. Russia was mention
ed as one of the growing districts.
After the meeting refreshments were
served n the usual social hour ensued,
during which it was decided to hold the
next meeting at the residence of Mrs.
William Pierson, No. 20 Mercer street,

any other public officials. The fault IS
in the system which SO subordinates re-
sponsibility that responsibility no longer
exists. In a Board of twenty-seven or
twenty-eight men, the individual course
of each one is practically hidden from
the public eye, and every man feels he
has a license to do as he p~leases. Under
these conditions, the yielding to tempta-

Mr.. MERSHON ON ROME
Third Lenten Lecture at Mrs.
Wilson's Yesterday--3OO
B. C. to 90 B. c.

The Rev. Albert Mershon in his third
Lenten lecture yesterday afternoon, at the
residence of Mrs. Wilson, No. 607 Bergen
Square, took his audience through the his
torical period of Rome, from 800 to So B.
G., or from the first Punic war to the
appearance of Julius Caesar.
Rome, he said, attempted no conquest
outside of italy until 2e4, B.. c., at which
time all Italy was in her power, and she
commenced to struggle with her rival
Carthage. An excellent description of the
first Punic war, 1854 to PAL, was given with
the Punic wealth and navy Then came
a term of peace, followed by the second
Punic war in 21S. This lasted till 2G2, and
half a century later in 149 came the third
Punic wal which lasted three years, raz-
ing the Carthage to the ground.
Rome's provincial government and re-
venues, her roads. aqueducts and i'm
provements. with side lights on her lux
ury and extravaganza, were all graphi-
cally described, together with Cornelia
and her jewels, from where the speaker
passed on to the work of Tiberius and
Caius Gracious.
Mr.. Mershon told how Jugurtha, King
of Numidia, was defeated in 100, and of
the birth of Julius Caesar in 100. Other
important events mentioned during the
period under discussion were the birth of
Archimedes in 2S7, and Sa1lust in Sc, while
the lecturer ended his discourse with a
description of Cicero's splendid orations.
During the afternoon Miss Case rem
dered several solos most charmingly. The
stormy weather seemed to have little or
no effect upon the class, so that lecturer
and soloist had an excellent audience. The
lecture, which will complete the course,
will be given Wednesday, March 20, at
the residence of Mrs. Manning Stires, No.
IS Lexington avenue.
