 NJ. E. CHURCH SOUTH.
 The subject of the morning service was from the text that has been called the Trinity of Prayer" text: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ve shall find, knock, aud it shall be opened unto you"
 The evening service following an interesting League meeting was we'll attended, and the interest good. The subject of the sermon was Christ and Money" and the text lesson gave conversations between Christ and the rich young ruler.
 It was made clear that Christ honors the use of money, but it must not have first place in the heart of man. Those who forsake all else to follow Christ will receive hundred fold more in this life and in the end, everlasting life.
 Revival services were announced, beginning with prayer services, We'd nesday and running through the week, and that Rev. Thomas o. Owen of Hot Springs would be here to assist next week.
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
 The usual services were held, con- sisting of Sunday school preaching and class meeting. The pastor preach ed both morning and evening. The text at the morning service was, "Think on these things" Phil. 4; 8. A few thoughts presented as follows, Paul in telling us what to think of goes to the very root of the matter. If our thoughts are right our actions will be all right. Everything is the result of the ught, either on the part of God or man. We can't always keep evil thoughts from momentarily occu- pying our attention, but if we do not welcome them they will soon leave. If our hearts are thoroughly cleansed the devils emissaries will trouble us very little.
 BAPTIST CHURCH
 Burning hearts, was the theme of the morning sermon. ''The fire which God kindles in the heart burns up some things which need to be burned, selfshness, excuese. personal diff feIences and fear of men. From a burning heart comes burning words which burn their way into other hearts. A cold heart has no more power than a cold locomotive.''
 Collections were taken at all the services of the day for the aid of ministerial students attending Ouach- ita Baptist College at Philadelphia.
 Next Sunday is the time for regular monthly business meeting.

AS A RESIDENT SAW IT.
Ash Barrel Day On Clifton
Place the Old Story Of
Carelessness.

And that is what the club women call
a marked Improvement remarked a
resident of Clifton place, Tuesday after
noon. 1t was ashbarrel day. All the
barrels were out with due regulation and
duly filed.
When the ash cart reached Clifton
place., it was almost full as any respect
able ash cart should be, but hiatt appar-
emily made no difference. Up went barrel
after barrel. papers and all regardless of
the fact that at each stopping place was
left a little pile of ashes, while the wind,
utterly defiant of Town Improvement,
with one sweep, scattered the papers far
n wide. 1t was then the driver be-
thought him of his sack cloth.
Thu covered cart ratified off, to the
Jingle of falling can and clouds of ashes,
leaving in it's wake a line of residents
cleaning up the little ash heaps in their
cutters, while an army of dog catchers,
neglected canine skeletons, capable of
bringing no ransom, came out and pic
nicked on the debris.

EASY DAY At COURT HOUSE.
Two Cases Slated and Both We're
Postponed.

Two cases were IN the list to be tried
in the General Session court today and
the court was obliged to adjourn. The
defendant in one case was Andrew Jones,
a negro, who is under indictment for
bigamy. When he was arrested he signed
an application for trial in the Special Ses-
sions. Before being tried he was indicted
and then it became necessary for him to
sign a new application in order to be
tried without a jury.
In the meantime Jones received two let
tiers received from New York and when he
was asked to sign the application he re-
fused. He said there was no evidence
against him and he had concluded to have
a jury trial. When he case was called
this morning. Assistant Prosecutor Van
Wrinkle stated to the court that he had
been unable to procure the attendance of
witnesses from New York and the trial
would have to bep ostponed. 1t is thought
that the letters Jones received from New
York a something to do with his deter
mination to have a jury trial.
The defendant in the other case was
George Brighton VIII OILS under indictment
for assault with intent to kill. Lawyer
Klink, was not ready and at his request
the trial was put off.

who sang several pleasing songs, and J..
Leslie Gossin, who recited some patnetic
verses of the patriotic order. Chief Muir
ply then said
To-day he said, will be something
to be remembered by every person who
witnessed the demonstration on our puollc
streets. 1 have seen many occasions to
make our people proud that they are
citizens of Jersey City. but I don't think
I ever saw anything to equal the dolngs
of.this afternoon. 1 doubt If at any time
the citizens ever saw such an outpourlng-
1t was all to do honor to the beautiful
statue in front of the City Hall and to do
honor to the. brave men In whose honor
that statue was erected. 1t was some
thing to add to the patriotism of our
young men, that great uplifting sight in
front of the City Hall. 1t was grand,
metropolitan. Everything was so metro
politan as to make us feel proud that we
were citizens of Jersey City. The temper
of the people was excellent. As the Presi-
dent of the Fire Board said to me this
afternoon, the people seemed to be dis
posed to do as they were asked. Every
thing ran in a sort of go-as-you-please
manner until after the police inspection.
Then there were some 5000 or 10000 per-
sons who had to be told to go where the
police directed. There was no grumbling
and in six or seven minutes the prescribed
place was cleared.
1T showed that the people recognized
the police and their right to tell them
what to do. 1t showed that they were in
favor of law and order. h greatest

q. O. p. Reorganization.

The Reorganization" Committee OF the
local G. O. P. is going a funny way about
soIidifying the party, as the journal
naiveiy puts it. 1t has thrown itself wide
open for the reception of all sorts OF
| kicks and growis on the part of dissatis-
Efed dictionaries in all quarters of the
city.
We can imagine what the result will
be. The committee will be overwhelmed
with charges and complaints. If these
are made public, the result will be con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED. Old enmities
will be embittered and new ones created.
Ten years will not restore peace in the
party. On the other hand. if the Com
does the Star Chamber act, and
keeps the charges secret, it is hard to
see how any result whatever a come
of the proceeding, md at the same time
almost equal bad blood will be created,
for every blessed soul in the party
machine will suspect everyone else OF
knitting him in the dark.
The G. o. p. In this county is in a bad
way, There is little hope ahead for it.
1t will get the worst beating this fall
that 1t has ever received.
