HAVE YOU REGISTERED /?
If Not, and If You Have a
Good Reason, There's
a Chance.

The complaint of Chairman e. W. Wool
ley of the Republican County Committee
against the Election Board of the First
district, Second ward. West Hoboken,
was considered at meeting of the Coun-
ty Board of Elections yesterday after
noon. The members of the Election Board
explained that the reason they had stop
ped the work of registration at six o'clock
on October 16 instead of continuing until
nine, as prescribed by law, was on ac-
count of the fact that the place provided
for the Board to sit was without light or
heat. They said on this account they
were obliged to a .journ to other quar-
tiers, but they had left man to direct
any citizen wanting to register to the
place where they subsequently sat- They
were warned to be more careful in the
future and to comply strictly with the
provisions of the law hereafter.
The total registration in Jersey City
and Hoboken, with five election districts
still to be heard from, is A,157 OF this
number SS73 were registered by affidavit
in Jersey City and 1856 in Hoboken.

day, November 8, the County Board of
Elections will sit at their office, No. SIS

RAN AWAY ONCE TOO OFTEN.
Hanks Children Lost Their Nurse
in New York


DR.. and Mrs. Hanks, of Grove and York
two of their children, Howard and Har-
riet, seven and four years old respectively.
The children's nurse has but recently
come from Washington and she knows
little of the vicinity. The children were
very anxious to go to Central Park one
day last week and they were given per-
mission on condition that they keep tight
hold of Mary's hand.
The park was reached in safety. but
after wandering through it while How
ard said :-"Sister, let's run away and
and scare her. They did, but the maid
caught them and warned them not to do
it again or they might get lost. A few
minutes later they repeated the fun, as
they thought it was, but they did it once
too often. The maid turned down a street
to look for them and when they came
from their hiding place they couldn't find
her.
AT 8 P. M. the maid came home to Jer-
sey City to notify the children's parents.
When Dr. and Mrs. Hanks heard what
had happened the doctor Immediately tel
ephoned to New York a description of his
children. He went to New York later on
upon receiving a telephone message that
they had been found in the park and
transferred to the Mulberry street sta
ton. He addived at the station and the

BLACK DlaMoND'S FAST RUN.
Lohigh Valleys Marvellous Speed
Between Jersey City and Buffalo.

Even in these days of fast trains, when
Through by lign nLning' is no longer a
wonder, the performances of the Jehigh
Valley Railroad Companys Black Diam
ond Express in the way of fast runs are
little short of marvellous.
The regular schedule of this train is,
west bound, New York to Buffalo, AS
miles, 8 hours and IS minutes, including
ferry and thirteen stops. Deductfng the
time consumed by the ferry and stops,
the actual running time of train between
Jersey City and Buffalo, 447 miles, is 8
hours and - minutes.
The regular schedule of this train, east
bound, Buffalo to New York, AS miles,
is 10 hours and minutes, including ferry
and thirteen stops. Deducting the time
consumed by ferry and stops, the actual
running time of this train between Buff
alo and Jersey City, 447 miles, is hours
and 20 minutes.
Sixty miles an hour by this train is
such an everyday occurrence that no one
thinks of it, and the only thing about the
trains work which excites comment these
days are such runs as SO, IS and 50 miles
an hour or almost mile in As seconds.
Mr.. Charles Lee, the general passenger
| siStHl VI Lie IOdu, Has prepared d pdDlG
of some of the trains more remarkable
runs. On July q last the Black Diamond
ran from Alpine to Kendaia, a distance Of
"a miles, in % minutes, or speed of SO
miles an hour. On November IL last the
distance from Hector to Kendaia, 17.6
miles, was covered in II minutes, a speed
of SS miles an hour. The distance be-
tween Three Bridges and Bound Brook,
15.5 miles, was covered October 5, 1897, in
II minutes, a speed of IS miles and hour.
Last February the "a miles between AL
pine and Kendaia was made in 25 min
utes, a speed of 81 miles per hour.
The same marvellous speed was main
tanned on longer runs. For example, on
July 20, 1898, the III miles between Sayre
and Buffalo were covered in 1863 minutes
or a speed OF 63 miles an hour, and on
July "a, 1899, the same distance was made
in 10 minutes, or speed of 81 miles per
hour. 1t can thus be seen if any one
wants to get from here to Buffalo in a
hurry he must travel on the Black
Diamond

UNLUCKY SCHUBERT.
Must Abandon Concerts Be-
cause There Is No Hall
Large Enough.

There will be no Schubert concerts this
year. This will be a great blow to the
music lovers of Jersey City. AS it is,
there are comparatively few musical or
ganizations Of any kind in the city, and
no large musical organizations aside from
the Schubert Glee Club and the Lafayette
Oratorio.
The trouble, however is not with the
Glee Club itself. but with the city-the
city affords no hall large enough for such
an affair. and the Tabernacle, York and
Henderson streets, where Schubert con-
certs have always been held, is not avail
able. Now that the building is no longer
used for devotional purposes it would
take about three days prior to each cam
cert before it could be heated. and the or
gan is in such need of repair as to rem
der 1t unavailable for concert use.
When these objections to the Taberna-
Gle We're discovered early in the season,
the Schubert Club decided upon the Ber-
gen Baptist Church, and went on with
rehearsals. Dates and rates for the years
concerts were even set by special meeting
but the club had reckoned without its
host The Bergen Baptist people would
not rent their church for secular music,
and the club gave it up in despair. There
was no other place in the city large
enough. outside of church, except the
Academy of Music, ara that, of course.
was out of the questioa until it closes its
theatrical season next spring.
This seems a pity, just after the
club has passed its thirteenth sea-
son so successfully, too, and the super
stitious had sighed the sigh of relief
ment of the fourteenth-be it person or
season. But there is one thing left for
Schubert, and that is to give one grand
big concert in the spring, grander and
bigger than ever before, in the Academy
of Music. So the Glee Club viii go on
practieing under the direction of Mr..
Victor Baier until some time next May,
when the city will have a rare musical

BRYAN PLEASED
Reception Given by Jersey
City Most Gratifying
to Presidential Can
date.
LEADER DAVIS COHPLIMENTED
Democrats Offer Big Odds
That the County Will Be
Bryan's by 5000
Majority.

Colonel William Jennings Bryan was
delighted with his reception in Jersey
City. To Mr.. Robert Davis, who yester-
day morning accompanied him in his trap
up the State, Mr.. Bryan said
Il cannot tell you, Mr.. Davis, how
pleased 1 am at my visit to Jersey City.
The reception the people gave me was one
of the best along my route through the
country and I W. never forget it.
Then Mr.. Bryan paid well deserved
compliment to Mr.. Davis for his share IN
the preparations for the visit. He re-
iterated what he said in the Tabernacle
Il was surprised at the reception gave
you, Mr.. Davis. You certainly were
great drawing card. and think l would
like to take you along with me-
Mr.. Davis laughed as a friend near him
said:-"We can't 81 ,fe him, Mr. Bryan. ;"
Mr.. Davis returned to Jersey City yes
terday afternoon and afterwards attended
a meeting of the County Committee. There
a general discussion took place about the
big parade on Tuesday. From reports
made by the leaders of the wards each
will send a large demonstration. 1t is
hoped that at least 5000 men will be in
line. Colonel R. G. Smith is chairman of
the committee in charge of the parade
and he is preparing the details line of
march, officers, aides and 90 forth.
Mr.. Davis was in his office early this
morning, and plunged at once'into his pile
of correspondence. He had few callers,
among whom were Alex. C. Young and
General W. C. Heppenheimer. Mr.. Young
in speaking of Thursdays meeting in the
Tabernacle corrected a statement in one
of the newspaper reports of his speech.
He never denounced Mark Hanna, he
said: in fact, denounced no one. His at
tack was on the Republican party princi-
pies and nothing else.
For next week Mr.. Davis will have
number Of ferciful speakers for outlying
meetings. All the meetings so far held
have been very gratifying. and the indica-
tions are a big majority for the county
ticket. Bets are being made on 1900 to
5000 majority, and one guileless individ-
ual bet last night a member of the County
Committee $40 that the county would go
the other way.
