at is not too soon to begin the

The Democratic party can win the
election only by getting votes, and
to get votes there must be plenty
of work done among the young
men who are to cast their first
ballots at tho ceming election and
in rousing the enthusiasm of those
who usually act with the party, but
do not come to the polls unless
they believe that great issues are
at stake. Tho coming election will
decide the course of the country
for hundred years. We are at
the parting of the ways between

SALARY BILL AMENDED.
Women Teachers to Receive
the Same Pay as Men
Of Their Grade.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News."l
TRENTON. March Is, 190O-The snow
and dull heavy atmosphere seemed to
have depressing influence upon the
Legislature this morning and it was
almost noon before the Assembly got to
work. The first part of the session was
taken up in advancing bills on the calen-
dar. Mr. Bachelors bill fixing a
minimum withdrawal value of shares in
building and loan association at 50 per
cent. after two years and 100 per cent.
after three years was one.
In the Senate Mr.. Francis, Chairman of
the Committee on Education, reported the
bill increasing the salaries of the Jersey
City School teachers, with an amend
ment allowing the same salary to female
teachers as are paid male teachers of the
same grade. The amendment was adopt
ed and the friends of the measure are
now confident that the bill will not be-
come a law. Some timid persons fear that
the increased amount to be raised by
the amendment will jeopardize It's sue
cess. Others, however, say that the male
and female teachers of the same grade
are so few that it will make no material
difference.
Mr.. McCarter had the Hudson Boule-
ward police bill recommitted for the pur-
pose of amendment, but just now he
wants to amend it he will not say.

BROKEN PROMISE MADE TROUBLE
Junk Dealer Charged With Receiv-
ing Stolen Goods.

A broken promise got Davis Eisenberg,
a Junk dealer of No. $50 Henderson
street, in serious trouble this morning in
the First Criminal Court room. An
eighteen year old boy named John Bright
was arraigned on a charge of petit lar
ceny, yesterday, and held for further
examination. George Wicks, janitor, of
No 444 Henderson street, in which house
Bright lives, was in court this morning,
and he charged that Bright stole a large
quantity of lead pipe from the building.
According to Wick's story there can be
but little pipe left in the neighborhood
Wick said that he began an investiga-
ton and was satisfied that Bright stole
the pipe. He also found the pipe in the
junk shop kept by Eissenberg, he said,
and told the junk dealer of the theft and
demanded that he put the pipe back
where it belonged. This Eisenberg agreed
to do thre days ago, but neglected to
keep the promise and when questioned by
the court this morning he denied that he
promised.
Wick stack to his tory Wick satisfied
the court of the truth of his story and
it was ordered that two complaints be
made against Eisenberg for receiving
stolen goods. One complaint covers the
lead pipe transaction and the other made
to cover a large iron chain that Bright
sold. The case will be heard tomorrow.

INEbRIATE HOME.
Father McErlane Will Open
One on Summit
Avenue.
HOUSE BEING RENOVATED
The Priest Has an Ef1cacious
Treatment for AL
coholism.

Within a few weeks a home for IN
ebriates will be opened at Summit ana
Paramount avenues, under the personal
direction of the Rev. Father J. MaeErlan,
pastor of st. Bernard's Church, Mount
Hope For several years Father Mac
Erlane has been devoting his time to the
founding of such an institution. He las
Travelled over the entire Newark Diocese
raising funds for the institution and now
has enough to begin the work. Bishop
Wigger encouraged the work ana gave
his permission for the founding OF a nome
in this city.
The beautiful residence at No. l6l SUM
nit avenue recently secured by the pas
tor, is one of the finest houses on the
Heights. 1t is situated on the top OF
the hill and commands view of the en-
tire city and the New York Bay. 1t can
be reached in fifteen minutes from New
York and twenty from Brooklyn. The
institution itself is home like and in the
summer is beautifully bedecked with
foliage. Spacious lawns surround the
over the grounds. The institution is in
busy thoroughfare, and Father McErlan
thinks lne spot du luSstl OHC.
While under the auspices of the
Catholic Church, the institute will be open
to people of all religious denominations.
The sanitary and interior fittings are now
receiving the best of attention. Dona-
tions of furniture are being received daily,
this alone showing the interest the public
is taking in the work.
The building is being renovated in a
modern manner and the interior fittings
are to be up to date. 1t is three story
structure and rooms for inmates will be
located on each floor. Father MaoErlane
will reside there and the institution will
be under his direction. In a quiet way,
Father MacErlane has done excellent
work in the various cities of the Newark
diocese. For ten years he has been de-
voting all of his time to the cure of
persons who have over indulged. His;
method of treating alcoholism and the
nervous diseases resulting therefrom. is
admitted by all who know him TO be a
most efficacious system of treatment.
Father MacErlane will also take up the
cure of the tobacco habit. He first in
tended to build home at Jackson and
Bayview avenues in the Greenyille Sec
ton. In fact he owns property in that
locality. But the chance of securing a
building and spacious grounds was one
that he took advantage of and he will
be enabled to start his great work at
| least a year sooner than he anticipated.
Father MacErlane while speaking of the
| matter to a reporter of '"The News" said
he hoped to do good work in the thickly
populated city and the adjoining cities.
He has valuable methods, he said, OF
| treating inebriates. He hopes many
homes now wrecked by the results OF
over indulgence in liquor will be bright
| ened and made cheerful once more. He
is enthusiastic over his work and expects
| the institution to be ably supported
