NINTH'S BIG JOLLIFICATION.
Great Democratic Victory VIII
Be Celebrated Monday
Night.

The Ninth Ward Democratic Society IS
now preparing for celebration to be held
next Monday night of the Democratic sue
cess In the Eighth and Ninth Wards. rms
jollihcation is really more on account OF
the unprecedented success Of the party IN
the Eighth Ward than the Ninth. Many
members from the Ninth Ward helped the
workers in the adjoining ward and the
results were really surprising.
James c. Clarke is a hero on the
Heights. His popularity is great among
his constituents in the hilltop WARDS.
Even he did not look for such vote in
his own ward. the Eighth Previous TO
election bets were made by the Democrats
of the Eighth and Ninth Wards that their
respective wards would get the largest
majority. The Ninth Warders were busy
yesterday paying off their bets, but they
have much consolation in knowing that
their ward was carried for the Register
candidate Democrats from the Eighth,
Ninth and Tenth Wards will participate in
the celebra ton.

he appeared as complainant against his
two sons, Charles Julius and William,
whom he charged with breaking, entering
and larceny, in the Second Criminal Court
this morning. The two boys, one nine
teen years old and the other eighteen,
were arraigned on that charge yesterday.
but the father failed to put In an APP
pearance and it was surmised that he
had repented of his act in having his two
sons arrested on a charge which may
possibly send them to prison for ten
years.
But he was there this morning, deter
mined to prosecute his two sons to the
bitter end. Both were held for the Grand
Jury Mr.. Jansen accused hts two sons
of having broken nito the pantry of his
home, filled themselves with cake and
burglarized the house, escaping with a
diamond brooch, pair Of diamond ear
rings, a pocketbook and some other ar
ticles Some of them were pawned at

caused great sensation in Goettingen.
Young poets Of the town wrote on the

into volume. Soon after Schiebler went

OMAR KHAYYAM AND RAMBLERS.
The Rubaiyat Interpreted at Yester-
days Meeting.

The Ramblers had most interesting
meeting yesterday afternoon in Hasbrouck
Institute, when the 'sRubiayat of Omar
Khayyan" was read. interpreted and dis
cuGsed.
Each stanza was taken separately and
each phraze fully discussed with the
Handlers diversity Of opinion until 1t
wns understood. This made the reading
of the poem OF more than ordinary inter-
est, enhanced by the reading Of extracts
from Justin McCarthy's and Fitzgerald's
notes on the subject
The Ramblers also entertained Mrs.
James Robottem, who has made a study
of the subject and gave them much val
liable information and many clever sug-
gestions. Altogether it was doubtless the
most interesting meeting the Ramblers
have held this season.

SOCIAL EVENTS ON THE HILL.
The Coming Season Promises to Be
Unusually Brilliant.

Several social events outside of the or
dinary run are scheduled to take place in
the near future at the various halls in
the Hudson City section. A most enojy-
able entertainment is promised by Perse-
verance Council No. IS, Daughters of
America, next Tuesday evening, at Cen
tral Hall. Among the features of the
entertainment will be the production of
a farce, entitled "A Matrimonial Adyer-
tisement--A Kiss In the Dark and the
Results
The Central Social Club will hold its
annual reception at Central Hall on Sat
urday, November 49, The P. f. Madden
Association will hold its annual reception
at Independent Hall, No. 14S Beacon ave-
nue., on Monday evening, November 90
One of the events that will be watched
with interest will be the annual BAH Of
the Jefferson Independent Club. which is
scheduled to take place at Pohlmann's s
on Thanksgiving Eve. Little over year
ago the Jefferson Independent Club, then
known as the Jefferson Democratic Club.
was a political power in the Eleventh
ward. 1t was the only Democratic or
ganzation in the county which kept up
its regular meetings all the year round
and full of interest even In the hot sum-
mer months.
Because one of their leading members
failed to secure an appointment under the
Board of Freeholders. claimed to have
been promised by Freeholder Mcclure, an
eruption followed and resulted in the
club swinging away from regular Demo-
cratic moorings, changing Its name from
Democratic to Independent" Club,
still preserving the name Of Jefferson In
last springs campaign the club refused to
endorse the Democratic Aldermanic can
didates It had already dwindled in
membership and consequent power, and
It looked as though the club would go to
pieces Some of the old members came
to the rescue, however, and this fall the
entire Democratic ticket was endorsed
and some of the old-time enthusiasm of
the club was reinfused and It is prob
able that the coming ball Of the club
will exceed in brilliancy the social
achievements Of the past.
