New Denver Service.

Improvements in its train service
between Chicago and Denver are be-
ing made by the Rock Island which
will make it one of the best equipped
lines between those points. In few
days the finest sleeping cars ever con-
structed will he placed on the Denver
through trains. The Pullman COM
pany never before has attempted any
thing so rich and elaborate. 1t differs
from other sleeping cars, both in it's
exterior and interior. The arched
windows are of beveled plate and
stained glass. New woods never be-
fore employed in the construction of
sleepers are used. The stateroom is
fitted with inlaid coka wood, the
smoking compartment with tiger
wood, and the body of the car with
inlaid mahogany of light color. The
upholstery is of rich green embossed
plush. and all of the other decorations
are of the richest description.

who waited upon the students, We're

The student was the citizen of a nation
of scholars, whose flag overshadowed
him wherever in the kingdom he might
be.
Members Of the student world were
exempt from military service, and in
many cases from all municipal tax.
They might receive their books and fur

The students Of Leyden availed them
selves of this privilege to so great de-
gree and imported in such immense
quantities by private arrangements with
the publicans that law was Necessary

legally receive without payment Of ex-

fixed the proper drinking capacity of a
student at so gallons of wine and IL
half casks Of beer. which he could re-

lust for what purpose he did not say.
ALREADY this morning | have received q
number of letters from prominent people
in the State urging me to push the case to
the end and I propose to do So, said Mr..
Bishop. ..One of the writer's even goes 80
far as to suggest that an extra session OF
the Legislature be called and a joint COM
mittee appointed to make a proper IN
vestigation," continued the president OF
the society. He said he had all the evil
dence ready and would present it to any
body of men that the proper authorities
might select. AT all events, the ante
morten statement of the girl as published
in 'The News of yesterday will be turned
over to the Prosecutor of Mercer county,
in order tina its contents may be fully
analysed by the Grand Jury there.
No date has yet been set for the funeral
AT the request of the girl before she died,
the service will be conducted by the Rev.
J. w. Brougher, of the First Baptist
Church. DIR. B. H. Rogers, who had
charge of the operation, avs the case
was a most serious one, as n of the
kidneys was of unusual size and looked
to him as though a heavy weight of some
kind had fallen on the patient.

OUTINGS PROFIT.
Davis Association Makes a
Comfortable Sum--Changes
Made.

No wonder the members of the Robert
Davis Association were pleased last night,
at a regular meeting, when they were IN
formed by President r. j. higgins that
the profit of the big outing will be near
ly 1000. There are still $50 tickets out.
Last year it was considered a big thing to
have made 81, 500.
President Thomas J. higgins was in the
chair and there was a very large attend
ance. It was decided that between the
reception and assembly roms the a~ssocia-
ton will fit up a reading room and stock
it with newspapers and periodicals.
A delegation OF members from the
Seventh Ward were present and they pre-
scented to the association a handsomely
engraved set Of resolutions touching the
death of the lamented Sheriff Heller.
The new library movement for the as
ISOLATION originated with President Mig
gins, who though that members who don't
play at the usual games and prefer read
ing should be considered. The library
will contain the best work of English
literature.
A change in the time Of meetings was
made. Hereafter the regular meetings
will be held once a month on the second
Wednesday of each month.
The annual election will be held on the
second Wednesday In November next:
when Colonel r. q. Smith will be elected
president to succeed MIR. higgins. The re-
to fill the office held by the late Sheri1
Heller.

What Bishop Says.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
PATERSON, Oct. 5, 1899-Former Free
holder Arthur w. Bishop. president of the
local Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, said yesterday that there was
not the slightest doubt In his mind that
Sadie wiseman's death was brought
about from injuries she received in the
Industrial School. Aside from the state
ment she made before her death, she told
President Bishop that on one occasion she
was kicked over the kidneys, n ever
since that time she has suffered great
pain. The physician who performed the
operation did not want to talk on the
subject and refused to be quoted, although
there is a report that the condition OF
the stomach and kidneys was such as to
Indicate that other troubles h any in
duced by cruel treatment might have been
the cause Of death.
President Bishop says he has not yet de-
cided what course he will pursue with re-
gard to the death Of the girl. There was
q report that MI. Bishop intended to make
a charge of manslaughter against Mrs.
Eyler. but he denied this yesterday, and
said it would be impossible. because the
time for any criminal charge was OUT
lawed, as tie cruelties alleged were in
dicted more than two years ago. Mr..
Bishop said he intended to have Prose-
rutor EmIey look over the papers, but

WHITTIER HOUSE OPEN.
Newsboys' Club to Change
Its Quarters and New
Cooking Glass to
Form.

Whittier House Settlement will probably
reopen all its classes and clubs TINS
month, though as yet only the kinder
garten and the Cornelia Gu have been
formally opened, the first meeting of the
latter having been held about a week ago,
but then Whittier House opens it's classes
according to the demand, that is upon the
guarantee of five members. As yet the
demand has not been very pressing. be-
sides which the house itself has under
gone a thorough cleaning. painting and
decorating, and certainly looks very
pretty in new fall adornments. The sit
ting room has been done in beautifully
blended shades of old rose, while upstairs
the rooms are lone in blue, old rose and
white, according to the taste Of the occu-
pants.
AT present Whittier House has five resi-
dents: Miss Cornelia Bradford, head
worker; Miss Emily Stohr, Miss Dillon,
Miss Jeanne Cassard, Miss Bradford's
assistant, and MI. P. E. Edwards, of
New York. Two young ladies from New
York are also expected in a few days.
One of the opening events his year will
fall on October IS, when the Mothers Club
will be given a patriotic evening, with
patriotic addresses from well known Jer-
sey City men, and refreshments.
The Newsboys' Club have given up their
former quarters next door to Whittier
House, n have not yet succeeded in
finding others. AS soon as hat is accom-
plished the club will reopen with all its
departments and features.
On Tuesday, October IL, Mrs. Samuel,
assisted by Miss A Van Wrinkle. will re-
open her sewing class. The dressmaking
class will open abou October 10, and
plans are maturing for a cooking class.
It is likely that the dancing, music and
other classes will be open prior to Noyem-
Der /.
The kindergarten class is perhaps the
most interesting. The children range
from three to five and six years Of age,
numbering about fifty. They hold enter
tainments to celebrate each holiday and
it is doubtful if more enthusiasm could
possibly have been shown by five year
olds than that shown by these tots on
Thursday last.
Yesterday the kindergarten held a
birthday party, as is the custom when
ever one of the tots marks a years
milestone on the road of life. Then the
youngster dresses in his best and is king
of the day, leading in all the games and
| presiding at a feast prepared in his honor.
