Concerning Church Fairs.

There is a growing disposition on the
part of our churches to do away with
church fairs and other like methods of
raising money for church purposes. This
is greatly to be commended. We are
coming to recognize that such methods
result in the lowering of the spiritual tone
of the church and the inculcation of I'M
scriptural methods of giving. Another
objection is found in the coStiliness of all
such entertainments. This latter point is
humorously illustrated in recent num-
Der of an English contemporary, which
says that the following estimate is given
of the direct and collateral cost of
church carpet: 1.-THE price was 91S0, but
as the women of the church raised the
money by giving entertainments the pas
tors estimate was that, when all the
items of cost was figured in, the carpet
had cost fully $500. He reached this as
tonishing total by estimating the work,
worry, nervous strain, bodily WEAKNESS,
and heartaches of 100 women; the heroic
efforts of men, women and children to
eat the things which were to be eaten, and
to hear, see or buy things which had been
provided to extract money from them;
and the curtailment of the legitimate
giving which follows in the train OF such
methods of raising money"

mr.. STANLEY STRICKEN
Well Known Capitalist Is
Dangerously Ill In
Newark.

News was received in this city last
night with profound regret that Mr.. Ber-
nard M. Stanley, President of the Essex
and Hudson Gas Companies had been
seized with paralytic attack.
Tine stroke came at $50 o'clock, most
unexpectedly, at a time when Mr.. Shan
ley's convalescence from two weeks at
tack of grip seemed most promising.
AS soon as the change was noticed in
the patient at his residence, Washing on
street and Central avenue, Newark, DR..
Daniel Elliot was summoned. DR.. J. c.
Young, the family physician. who has
been attending Mr.. Stanley during his III
ness, was out Of town. DIR. Elliot arrived
at the residence promptly, and perceiving
that Mr.. Shanley's condition was very
serious, called in DR.. C. M Zeh. At mid
night DR.. Young returned to town. and
Joined the others attending the patient.
The physicians say it is important that
Mr.. Stanley should be kept absolutely
quiet during the twenty-four hours fol-
lowing the stroke of paralysis. As their
patient is a large, stout man, they fear
this will be a difficult task. and are ex-
pecting the worst. All of Mr.. Shanley's
family are at his home, doing all they
can for the stricken head of the family.
Among the different enterprises in
which Mr.. Stanley is interested, in addi-
ton to the Essex and Hudson Gas Com
pany, of which he is president, is the
syndicate that controls all the trolley lines
in Essex, Hudson, Bergen and Passafc
counties. He was the principal factor in
the organization of the United Electric
Company of New Jersey. which virtually
controls the electric light, heat and power
plants of Southern New Jersey.
Besides these, Mr.. Stanley is the head
of the largest firm of contractors for
railroad and street paving and sewer
work in New Jersey He is also a director
in the New Jersey Title and Guarantee
Company of this city.

Chairman Will Be Elected To-
night and Work Planned.

The several subcommittee of the Re-
publican County Committee will meet to-
night in Lincoln Hall to organize for 1900
and select their offices, besides transacting
such other business of Importance as may
come before the several bodies EdWard
Fry. the recognized leader of the Seventh
ward, will be reelected chairman of the
Executive Committee, position he rlchly
deserves. A prominent Republican, hlgh
in the councils of the party, stated few
days ago that Mr.. Fry was the man fer
the place as his work of the past year
ably demonstrated.
..Mr. Fry has proved himself valuable
man., said he, "and the Republican party
of this county owes much to him for its
present condition. While hundreds OF dis
satisfied factionists and bonegrabbers
were bowling their lungs out against the
party leaders, he stuck to the old snip
and with the aid of the members OF the
Organization Committee and few others,
he succeeded in quitting the party on its
feet. I believe in giving credit where
credit is due, and Mr.. Fry certainly de-
serves all that he can get.
The Appeals Committee organized
couple of weeks ago. Frank ]. Higgins
was selected chairman The case of George
Hoehl against Stanley Tresouthwick, of
the Twelfth ward, may come up for con-
sideration Hoehl states that Tresouth-
wick was elected to the County Committee
illegally and he sent long .communica-
tion to the committee protesting against
Tresouthwick's seating.
The other committees to organize are
Printing, Finance, Elections, Patronage
and ORGANIZATION

When the pleasant music of the rat-
tling of knives and forks and clinklng OF
glasses ceased and small clouds oil smoke
ascended from the tables MI. Jones
tapped ON his glass and the serious Work
of the evening began. Briefly sketchlng
the history of the club since its formation
in 1885, the yice-President said that It
was paid by subscription furnished by
the members, and was the property Oh
the club. 'Annoyances," he said, "crept
in unknown to the members and Board
of Governors even. Only few of the
officers were aware of them.
"At srch times" said Mr.. Jones, rails
ing his voice. when these serious mat
tors confronted us we turned 20 our
President cloud cheers), and from him
received council, advice and experience,
which have always brought matters TO
satisfactory end. 1t only remains for me
TO saw how satisfactory it is to see the
regard and esteem in which we all hold
Mr. Young attested by this large gather
ing. I want to introduce to you now ex-
Governor Werts, who will act as toast
master" (Cheers.)
"I thank you, gentlemen" said Mr.
Werts. when three cheers and a tiger had
been accorded to him, for this cordlal
sentiment, and assuming the post Of
toastmaster desire to say that It has
long been the desire of the Carteret Club
to manifest in some appropriate way the
high regard for the personal character
and ability of it's President. CApplauseo
Also their appreciation of his faithful
disinterested and valuable services in its
behalf (Applause.) That desire obtained
expression, but not full fruition this even
ing. To the club which he nonors ~ mis-
membership, he has unselfishly contribut-
ed from time to time his labor and
| means (Applause) At all times he has
been safe and prudent counsellor, and a
successful administrator of it's affairs.
Those qualities of the head and heart
have endeared him to his fellow members.

only pleased to recognize and discharge
them when opportunity affords. Cap

Mr.. Young, aware of the innate mod
estv of our friend; his aversion to shams,
fattery and adulation, but desire to as
sure him that all tributes paid are hon
orably rendered without any degree of
Aattery. (Applause.) He is worthy not
only of this evidence of our esteem but
of all the honors that social, business
and political friends can confer. Cheers }
We feel this because Mr.. Young HAS no.
bly, acquitted himself whether in his So
cial, domestic and business relation or
in his duties of citizenship. A poet once
said:-
:. None knew thee but to love thee;
None named thee, but to praise
Among legions of his friends, resumed
the Governor after the cheering ceased,
those who know Mr.. Young as we know
him love him. In the circles of activity his
| colossal enterprises have been administer
ed with such consummate skill that all
must admire him. Such men illustrate
the highest attributes Of humanity-living
monuments Of the noblest work of God.

Ex-Judge Robert S. Hudspeth was the
next speaker and in the course of an able
address said that the Carteret Club was
like Rome in that all roads led to 1t,
and he would advise all who desired to at
tain success to be member of it. He
raised no end of enthusiasm when he
said:--

of this State expect to see him. don't
want to talk politics, but I can say that
he possesses the true qualifications of the
Jeffersonian Democracy and he is capa-

to Mr.. Young, Here's to your health and
your family, and may they live long and
prosper. Cloud cheers)
ExJMayor Chas. Seidler said he sub
scribed to all that had been said of Mr..
Young His feelings were those of the
sailor lad who had promised his mother
to say his prayers every night before

worn out and glancing at the Lord's $
Prayer tackled up over his bunk, he ex-
claimed oh. Lord I beg to be excused,

with the grand old Scottish song ringing
through the room the dinner to Mr. q. r.

Messrs Hulshizer and Heppenheimer, OF

CANDIDATES FOR BOTH SIDES.

Mo one has been spoken of in the Sixth
or Eighth wards for the Republican nomi-
nations. Not a candidate has cropped up
and there seems to be absolute apathy
among the Republicans of both wards.
Alderman Charles SteH OF the Ninth
ward is to be renominated for that pace
at the coming Republican convention. His
term expires this spring and he has con-
sented to run again. Who will oppose
him is not known as yet. The Demo
cratic Club of the Ninth ward will pick
its man in a few days, and the Demo
Gratis of that ward hope to win by good
majority.
