Y. Nj. {. A. ANNUAL MEETING
A Very Gratifying Condition Shuwn by
The Reports.

The annual meeting of the active
members of the Y. NJ. G. A. for the
election of directors and he ring Of re-
ports of years work was held Tuesday
evening at the association rooms. The
meeting was held at the supper hour in
order that the members could come d.
rectly from their work and be through

bountifui supper after which came the
business session
Messrs. j. FL Moore Q. D. Snow, G.
W. Sugden and g. L. Holmes were re-
elected to succeed themselves as direc-
tors for three years.
The reports of the various commit
tees showed that there has been graft
flying increase in the mum ber of young
men making use of the privileges of the
association during the busiest part of
the year, taxing the full capacity of
the rooms. More than six thousand
baths were taken, the largest number
being eight hundred in one month.
The social work was very successful
and more continuous than the associa-
ton has done before. The religious
work has been effective in strengthen
ing the lives of good many young
men and at least seven have professed
conversion through it's work this
year. A large number have been
brought into the meetings from the
street, men who do not frequent other
religious meetings. Probably the most
interesting reports we those of the
finance committee and treasurer. The
association has been hampered by its
burden of debt so long that any indica-
ton of relief in this direction is sure to
be encouraging.
The reports show that enough money
was subscribed during the past year to
pay all the old debt and pay the ex-
penses Of the association, and the
treasurer's reports showed that these
amounts had been paid and that the as
ISOLATION for the first time in its history
closed the year with every obligation
paid. After the reports, Mr.. E, w.
Peck, who has succeeded Mr.. VIM.

M'KINLEY AND ROOSEVELT
German and Hanna at the Head Of the
Committees-The Former Is Not

Tower of Strength.

Atlanta. Ca, March 27.-Congressman
through Atlanta to-day on his way home
from Havana. Mr.. Lewis says he believes
the republicans will put up Mckinley and
Roosevelt for the next campaign. and the
democratic ticket, he thinks. will read
Bryan and Schley." For chairman of the
republican national committee Mr.. Lewis
believes Mark Hanna is slated, while Sem
ator German will fill Il like position for
the democrats In explaining his Zine
ups Mr.. Lewis said:
GU Will find that the republicans will
not renominate Mr.. Hobart, because they
can make stronger nomination. OF
course the fact that the antitrust fight
will be particularly prominent in the com
ing campaign makes him rather, vulnera-
BILE for most of the trusts have been in
corporated under the New Jersey laws,
for which the republican party of that
state is responsible and the line to Ho-
bart is direct. But that is not the chief
reason for looking elsewhere for vice
presidential timber. The republicans see
that there is a wholesale expansion and
they figure it out that unless they have
the active assistance of some war hero
they will be in bad fix. Naturally they
turn to Roosevelt, who is certainly the
best man they could take
Roosevelt would undoubtedly add
to the ticket" continued Colonel
Lewis. LAS to the democratic ticket, I
figure it out this way:
There has been an effort to make it
appear that German has been fighting
Bryan in order to get the nomination for
himself. He has not had the idea, for he
knows he could not possibly be nomina-
ted. but he is still. and will always be.
an active factor in the management of
democratic affairs, and when the time
comes to consider the ques ,.on of a vice
presidential nominee he will say: We
must have war hero. There is Schley,
for whom the people of the country have
a great love. The people know thai
Schley was in that great battle off San
tiago and that he was in technical com
mand there, His nomination would tend
to unite all democratic elements, and I
believe that if he were nominated be
would prove tower of strength / also
believe Mr.. German would, under those
circumstances. accept the Craftsmanship
OF the national committee"

Jured have recovered and have been
discharged from the hospitals.
The third body found to-day was un-
covered late this afternoon near the
Forty-sixth street side, about 25 feet
from the annex wall The fragments
consisted of portions of the large bones,
portions of the spinal column with ribs
attached and some discolored flesh.
Near this spot were found several pieces
of calico and some cheap green plush,
and 1t Is believed that the remains are
those OF woman, probably a domestic
employed at the hotel.
Large gangs of men still continue to-
dig about the ruins and many articles
nave been added to those already ait the

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
'My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. Nas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed NV
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as
ever was. | have gained flesh and have
a.good color. / am completely cured OF
irregularity."

colt had the most speed at the start, but
Bassida who had been interfered with
in the early part of the contest, came
strong in the stretch and gave Bathos
hard run to the wire. Morans colt had
just enough speed left to stave off the
challenge, going past the judges a head
