\ MEETING WELL ATTENDED,

A meeting Of the Charitable Organ
ternoon in the offices of the Safe De-
posit Co. Representative from the
various organizations of the city were
present. These We're called on to give
the conclusions reached by the various
bodies which they represented. The
result Of the different opinions ex-
pressed was that thirteen were in fav-
or of the C. o. s., three were opposed
two were partly in favor and one was
partly opposed.
The bylaws prepared by the com
mittee were then read. The question
of life membership came UP for discus
sion. The original draft provided for
a life membership which might be OBJ
tained by the payment of $40. 1t was
deemed advisable to strike out this
clause.
The motion was made and carried
that the bylaws be referred to a com
mittee to make such alterations as
were suggested. President Dole moved
that all societies wishing to join the
each choose two delegates to meet on
the 25th of May, to organize the Asso-
ciated Charities. Meeting was ad-
journed to meet on that day.
The following societies were repre-
Sented: Free kindergarten Society,
Ladies Charitable Association, Catholic
Benevolent Society, Hawaiian Rehe1
Society, Hospital Flower Society,
Ladies Society of Central U@ton
Church, Strangers Friend Society,
American Relief Fund and japanese
Benevolent Society.
There is a divided opinion among
the various societies as to the purposes
and methods of the C. o. S. Those
who had voted against affiliation with
the central body did so on the ground
that it seemed as if the necessary eX-
penditure would be greater, while the
work done would be the same as is be-
ing done now.
Statistics read at the meeting yester-
day showed that over $4,000 has been
spent for charitable purposes. How
ever, half of this was disbursed by So
cieties that are not strictly charitable
organizations, as the kindergarten.
But this leaves $4,000 spent by actual
charitable societies in one year This
amount is a fairly large one and if it
were all handled by one central body
undoubtedly better and more efficient
results should be effected. The OBJ
ject of the Associated Charities is the
centralization of the dispensation of
charity, and carrying on the work ac-
cording to business methods.
At the meeting to be held in May it
is intended to get a fair start. The
date was purposely set quite a while

SELECT SCHOOLS.
Board TO Consider the Abolition
of Fees

|
At the meeting of the Board OF Edu-
cation yesterday afternoon it was voted
that a committee of three members be
appointed TO consider the whole ques-s
ton of Government Select Schools and
tuition fees. Minister Mott-Smith Ia
chairman of this committee with power
to appoint the other two members.
This move is the outcome of the dis
cussion that has been recently going
on as to whether or not the system
of charging for tuition is the best one.
The consensus of opinion seems to be
that that the fee, however small, should
be abolished entirely. The report OF
the committee voted by the Board will
probably concur with this opinion, ana
propose steps for the substitution Of
n better plan.

WASHINGTON IN PAssAIo.

1t is just 1913 years ago this week
that Gen. George Washington visited
Passaic County. On November IA,
1776, Washington crossed the old bridge
in front of the First Reformed Church
i'll Passaic ON his retreat from Hack
ensack and encamped in the village.
He spent the night in a tavern. AT
midnight his rear guard was closely
pressed by the British under Corn
wallis. Washington had prepared for
this emergency, and John H. Post, of
Lakeview, soldier in his army, had
been told to destroy the bridge as
soon as the patriotic army had crossed.
Post did his work so we'll that the
bridge fell before the enemy could
cross, and CORVALLIS did not attempt
to force passage in the presence OF
3, 600 men. The next day Washington
made leisurely retreat to Newark.
The British were thereabouts sever
al days living off the rich farms. The
ruins of Washington headquarters
may still be seen standing on the hill
side near the Old First church in
PaSsaic.

OPPOSED TO MoRMONIsM.

The New Jersey Congressman are a
unit against the seating of the Polyg-
amist Roberts.
Their objection is not alone because
of the opposition to polygamy, but be-
cause the Constitution expressly for
bids the seating of a convict, which
Roberts is, having served term in
prison in 1889, having been convicted
of violating of the federal law pro-
hibiting polygamy. His conviction
disbars him from holding any office
over which the national government
has jurisdiction, and only one thing
could remove his disability thus
suffered, namely pardon and restora-
ton to the full status of citizen by
the president. But pardon is not ex-
tended to those who do not ask for it
or who defiantly reject it. The lat
ter is Roberts attitude. A new phase
has recently developed in the case,
which may precipitate his expulsion.
1t is reported by the Washington
correspondents that the Mormons have
declared they will defeat the Repub-
licans in every state in which they
hold the balance of power if the
House of Representatives unseats
Roberts. 1t is to be hoped this threat
is correctly reported. If this is the
attitude of Mormonism-there is little
doubt of 1.-THE sooner the issue is
made the better. This government
cannot be permitted in any way what
soever to give its sanction to this
crime against the homes of the coun-
try and the honor of it's women.

HOW HE sCATTERs HIS MILLIONS

1t is rare day that does not wit
ness a wise and generous deed at the
hands of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. 1t is
generally a large gift of money for
public-library purposes, for this is Mr.
Carnegie's special line of beneficence.
Within the past few weeks such bene-
factions have come to public knowl-
edge, the total amounts promised be-
ing not less than 50, 900, 600. Of this,
81, 750, 900 was for the enlargement OF
the Carnegie Library in Pittsburg, an
institution to which Mr.. Carnegie had
already contributed several millions.
The additional sum, it is said, will
make the library three and one-halt
times larger than originally intended,
and the largest and most magnificent
building of it's kind in all the world.
In addition to its use as a library, the
building will have departments de-
voted to the promotion of science,
music, art and literature. The four
other library gifts mentioned included
one of $50, 900 to the city of Duluth,
Wis. $50, 600 to the city of Tyrone,
Penn. ; 1926, 900 to the Polytechnic
Library Society, of Louisville, KY.
and $25, 200 to Tucson, Arizona. All
these donations were accompanied
with the condition that the cities thus
favored should furnish certain sums
OF money for the regular maintenance
of the library. The object of Mr..
Carnegie's numerous deeds of philan-
thropy has been wisely chosen. Few
institutions, if any, are designed to
benefit larger number of people in
a better way than free library Such
institutions are centres of light and
power, and their influence for good
is wide, deep and lasting. Mr.. Car,
negie was not long ago poor boy
himself, and hence his sympathy and
interest in work that reaches out and
helps the poorest as we'll as the rich
est. Happy is the land that owns a
man of wealth who uses his riches in
such a wise and noble way. Leslie IS

FIRST AMERICAN HOLIDAY.

True to the spirit which animated
their emigration to a new land, the
Pilgrim Fathers instituted the custom
of setting apart one day in the year
to give thanks to God for the har-
vests and the many other blessings
sent to them. So that Thanksgiving
Day has been a holiday with the
American people since the time of
Gov. Winthrop, of Massachusetts.
Although it is undoubtedly a direct
descendant from the old English
Harvest Home it has from it's com
mencement been thoroughly ineulcat-
ed with the rigidness and spirit of
worship of the sturdy men and women
who came early to this country, sac
frificing all comfort and possessions
for principle. The Thanksgiving
feast of the Puritans had none of the
pomp or ceremony of the English
festival, for these were the very
things which the Puritans objected
to, and instead they invested their
holiday with truly religious charac-
ter For as much as they disapproved
of church pageants, they felt that
true thanks could best be given in the
place set apart for the worship of
God
To the farmers in the new country
a bountiful harvest meant a great
DEAL and so the custom was continued
in the New England colonies and
gradually came to be adopted in the
other parts of America.
Washington appointed a day in 1889
for general thanksgiving by the peo-
pie, and in 1868 Lincoln did the same,
and since then the President has each
year issued proclamation to this
effect, and the last Thursday in No
yember has come to be legal holiday
in every state in the Union but Mis-
sissippi. The Governor of each State
still keeps up the old time custom of
announcing the setting apart of this
one day in the year to give thanks for
all blessings, and thus one Of the first
public demonstrations begun in the
early settlement of the country is
annually observed

WAGE FARMERS BENEFITED.

That this country is enjoying an era
of prosperity that equals if it does not
surpass that of 1892 during Harrison S
administration is apparent everywhere
and all newspapers except the blatant
Democratic organs, who can see moth
ing good under Republican rule, are
congratulating the people on the great
revival of business, which means
much not only for the man who in
vests his money in various business
enterprises, but also for the wage
Garner. The latter particularly is
reaping the benefits of the good times,
and when labor is steadily employed
and at good wages the country is pros
porous.
According to table compiled by
the American Protective Tariff Lea
que, among 1, 1857 business establish
ments Of various sorts, it has been
found that the number of workers
employed by them in March 1895, was
1911, 732, which had been increased to
267, 1856 by March, 1899. This was a
gain Of 80. 56 per cent. in four years
The wages paid by these establish
ments in March1S95, was So, 6S8, 844. SO,
which had grown to so, $50, $50. SO in
March of this year. The increase in
this case was LOO per cent. There
was a gain in wages in March, 1899,
as compared with that month in 1895,
of 10. 40 per cent. per person.
