viis Tactics Against Molineur.

The prosecution of Roland B. Molineux
yesterday descended to an act of dastardly
blackguardism as bad as the murder
itself The attack, by cowardly insinuation.
by maliciously false construction of the
most ordinary evidence. upon the char
acter of the prisoners wife was an act so
dastardly as to rob the State and its
officials Of any sympathy that they may
have heretofore enjoyed.
Thus far. the prosecution has been abb
solutely barren Of results. The attempts
to show motive have resulted in abso-
Lutte puerilltfes. The expert testimony as
to handwriting is preposterously weak
The "World'' explodes the entire fabric
this morning by showing that the writings
OF Grover Cleveland, William Mckinley
and William J. Bryan have all the char
acteristics which. Mr. Kinsley says. dis
tinguish the writing of Molineux from ali
others in the world. 1t may be added that
some OF these "characteristics,' as for in
stance the breaks in words and the dotting
Of the letter /. before finishing the word.
may be found in the hand of almost every
rapid writer.
To the unprejudiced outsider the case
against Molineux melts away hourly.
while the suspicion darltens against an
other conspicuous figure in the case. =

utes. Miss Johnson gave a well rendered
soprano solo. Mr.. Harry OaMealia recit-
ed in such a manner as to evoke an en-
core. The cornet solo by Frederick F..
Crandall was excellent. Some very clever
buck and wing dancing was done by Ed
ward Rogers. Songs by the we'll known
tenor soloist, Mr.. Phillip Heck, were greet
ed with loud applause. Mr.. Robert Nc
Donald acted as master Of ceremonies.

RIFLE CLUB HOUSE SOLD.
Greenville Organization Will Go
Ont Of Existence.

The clubhouse and property of the Green
vile Rifle Club, which recently disbanded,
has been sold. 1t is understood that II
will be used for an office by the manu-
featuring concern adjoining. 1t is rumor-
ed that the amount paid for the property
was $3.50, which will be divided among the
stockholders of the club according to the
number of shares held by them, for which
purpose meeting will be held at Column
bia Hall, Friday night
A few of the members hoped that the
club would be reorganized and an effort
was made to that end. But most of the
crack shots had joined other organiza-
tions, and as under the circumstances it
was impossible to obtain their co-opera-
tion, the project was given up.
The club was one Of the oldest and best
known in that part of the city. Among
its members were numbered some of the
best shots in the country who were in
strumental in bring many prizes home
to Greenville. They are now scattered and
are assisting in establishing regulations
for other rife clubs throughout the
county.

WHY Hudson Is Democratic.

The versatile and erudite Editor of the
New Brunswick "Fredonian." who, when
he is not conserving the States interests
in lands under water. instructs 1t in the
way it should go through the columns OF
his paper, has discovered the proper way
to convert Hudson--politically of course
with that thoroughness which has always
characterized this veteran Editor, he goes
right down to the root of the matter and
discovers to his own satisfaction at
least. why it is that Hudson is Demo-
people Of this county are different in their
moral or mental makeup from those Of
other counties, nor is it because they are
not susceptible to arguments and in
fuences that are so potent elsewhere"
Neither is it in ''the overflow from New

Tammany Hail." nor is it any one of sew
eral other baneful influences not wholly

that ails US poor mortals Of Hudson, or,
to use the exact language Of the Riparian
Editor, 1--WE are not adequately instructed
In the fundamental principles of the Re-
publican faith. and especially in the great
corner stone principle Of protection to
home industry"
This is just where the ''Fredonian's"
Editor is mistaken, and again he has la
bored in vain. 1t is because the great ma
5orlty of the voters of Hudson are in
structed up to the limit in the "fundamen-
tai principle, the great corner stone prin-
ciple of protection" that they vote the
Democratic ticket election after election.
They are fully instructed as to whom and
They know what a vast amount of profit
the great corporations derive from this
same corner stone and just what degree
of benefit it fails to bring to the working
man.
If the Editor really wants to know "how

that It cannot be done. The people of
Hudson are well instructed on the issues
Of the day. They think good deal. and
they will never be brought to support a

The bazaar at Grace Protestant Episco-

night by the many friends of the ladies
OF the church under whose auspices it is

good.
The drawing for the American flag for
the most popular school in the city seems
to be one of the main features of the fair

night considerable money was taken in
for votes for the favorites.
The confectionery booth, which is stock

a very good business.
The ladies at the fancy booth were very

SUPPLIES REJECTED
FreehoIders Says They We're
Not Up to the Samples
Submitted.

Director McNally and the Storehouse
Committee gave an object lesson yester-
day to three of the contractors who are to
furnish supplies to the county institutions
which may convince them thatthe supplies
must be fully up to the samples or they
will not be accepted. The Director and the
committee together with several other
Freeholders numbering eighteen in all,
went to Snake Hill yesterday and exam
ined some shoes furnished by Contractor
James Soden, some blankets furnished by
Contractor Ignatius Noonan and some
coffee furnished by Contractor James
Larkin.
After a thorough examination it was de-
eided that the goods were not up to the
samples and they were rejected. The
coffee was the nearest to the sample of
any of the goods rejected, but as the
Freeholders have determined that the
contractors must live up strictly to their
contracts it was not accepted. The con-
tractors will probably claim that the
goods were according TO sample and there
IS likely to be-some trouble about the sup
plies for the coming year.
