FR. CARROLL'S WELCOME
A Purse of $1,000 Given the
Priest Last Night.

The Rev. l.. c.. NJ. Carroll of ST. Pat
rick's Catholic Church was rendered a
most fattering reception last evening in
the Jersey City Club, and was presented
with purse of 81, 200 by his pariShioners.
The committee which prepared for the
welcome to the pastor of st. Patrick 3
succeeded in carrying out the programme
without hitch. Mayor Hoos was there
to welcome Father Carroll and he in turn
delivered an appropriate address The
gathering was large one and the deco
rations very pretty. The platform pre-
sented a beautiful appearance.
Chairman Andrew KERN of the commit
tee headed the party that went to the
rectory to escort the pastor to the hall.
He was led by Mr.. KERN to the platform,
on which were seated Mayor Hoos, DR..
Carroll of Newark, Fathers Monahan and
Keough, F. J. Maloney, John KERN, An
drew KERN, Francis j. Brady, Charles
Corners, j. Guilfoyle, Daniel p. Byrnes,
Thomas Collins, James Pierce and Mr..
Connors.
Mr.. Guilfoyle delivered the presentation
speech. He referred to the tour of the
pastor, touching upon the travels and
stated that the parishioners were doubly
welcoming their pastor in the reception
they were rendering him Mr. Guilfoyle
said that the people were more than
pleased at the opportunity to show their
esteem for the rector and hoped that his
future would be a bright and happy one
He then presented Father Carroll with the
purse. This purse was collected by the
committee in the parish within the past
month.
The pastor accepted the token Of esteem
in neat speech He said that the purse
was most acceptable at this time mas
much as the salary of a priest was small
and his expenses on the trip had left him
without funds. Continuing he referred to
the new parish building as being at
standstill now because of the decided in
crease in building material. Iron had ad-
vanced $4,000 more than when he was here
last fall, and in view of this he said it
would be wise to defer the work until
there was slump in the prices of build
ing material.
Mayor Hoos began his address with
few witty remarks, saying that he knew
the children of St. Patrick's were pleased
to have the father of their parish back
again. He was pleased, he said, to see
his old friend again, and wished him sue
cess in his life work.
Dancing followed and continued until
after midnight.

INCENDlARISM SUSPECTED
Paper Mill in Hoboken Burned
Last Night.

Fire, which the police believe to be of
incendiary origin. completely destroyed
the big Franklin Paper Mill at Clinton
and Eighth streets, Hoboken, last even
ing. The loss is estimated al over SIS, 900.
Thomas O'Daniels, the night watch
man, discovered the flames in room on
the ground floor, shortly after eight
o'clock. He hurriedly turned in an alarm
but before the department arrived the en-
tire wooden building was ablaze. Chief
Applegate directed the efforts of his men
to saving the surrounding property. The
big building burned like a tinder box.
In half an hour it was reduced to a pile
Of smouldering ashes.
The property is owned by the Palisade
Paper Mill Company of Holbrook, Mass.
This is the second time in seven years
that fire has destroyed the company's
Hoboken plant.
The police refuse to say what discov-
cries they have made to justify their
suspicion OF incendiarism. O'Daniels
says he saw no one around the building,
but workmen when he first saw the
flames. No arrests have yet been made

NEWSBoYS' OUTING.
Clubs of Whittier House Entertain-
ed by Mr.. and Edrs. Bennett.

Scarcely a day passes in Whittier House
without the closing event of one or more
of its numerous classes or clubs. Last
Friday evening the American Patriot
Club entertained some of the Vassar Col
lege girls right royalty with music and
reception. On Wednesday afternoon OF
last week the Mothers Club entertained
the Hoboken Mothers Club, and IN the
evening the Lend a Hand Club, composed
of about fifteen or sixteen girls, enter
tained the Whittier House Workers and
their friends with an excellent liter
ary programme, and presented Miss Cor

But perhaps the most enjoyable everts
are those excursions taken by Whittier
House Workers and clubs to the coun-
try The first of these took place last
Tuesday when the Womans S Club OF
Roselle entertained the Workers at the
Casino of that place. and has extended a
cordial invitation to the clubs and classes
of Whittier Settlement to visit Roselle on
some of the weekly summer excursions.
OF course, with all these outings, it was
not likely that the Settlement would pass
Memorial Day without celebration, and
accordingly Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett, of Eli

the day at their home. and arranged a
most enjoyable programme for their bene-

TO REFORM JUDICIARY.
Bar Association Committee
on Reorganization Meets
Saturday.

The committee of the State Bar Asso-
citation having in charge the preparation
of plan of reorganization Of the State
judiciary, expects to complete its labors
at meeting in Newark Saturday. The
plan of reorga anization will be submitted
to the Bar Association at its annual
meeting in Atlantic City June Is.
The plan on which the committee has
agreed provides for an independent Court
of Appeals, consisting of five Judges, who
shall sit only in that court. At present
they are to be met in other courts.
The plan also provides for the remodel
ing of the Court of Chancery. which will
make possible an increase in the number
of Vice Chancellors and clothe them with
the power to dispose of cases, which they
do not now enjoy. Now, as is generally
known, the five Vice Chancellors hear
cases and recommend to the Chancellor
the action to be taken.
The need of giving Vice Chaneellors
executive functions in these matters, and
in the signing of papers which at present
the Chancellor's signature only makes
legal, was emphasized particularly during
the interim between the death of Cham
cellor McGin and the appointment Of his
successor.
AS to the number of Vice Chancellors, It
Will be recommended that the section Of
the proposed law bearing on the subject
will set forth that the Court Of Chancery
shall consist of Chancellor "and such
Vice Chancellors as may be provided by
law
These changes, If agreed to by the Bar
Association, cannot be made until they
are accepted by two successive Legisla-
lures and by the voters of the State to
ratify them at a special election follow
ing legislative action.
The committee of the state Bar Assoc
citation that has considered these changes
is made up of Justice Fort, chairman; !;
former Judge Garretson, Jersey City;
former Speaker Bergen, Elizabeth; Eu-
gene Stevenson, Paterson; former Judge
Woodruff, Trenton; Senator Cross, Eliza
beth; Judge Sinnickson, Salem; O. S.
District Attorney David o. Watkins,
Woodbury.; Allen H. Strong. New Bruins
wick, and Attorney General Grey.

brought together one of the largest
gatherings of Democrats ever seen in that
section of the county. They began TO ar

nine O'Clock p. M, when it was estlmateo
that 5000 people were in the grouhos.

being politics was forgotten. There were
pretty women without number, who We're

strong Democratic arms until the rusti-
ness disappeared For the children the
merry-go-round presented its old time at
traction and many were the rides they
enjoyed to rag-time tunes forced from the
antiquated "hurdy-gurdy."
The cane board and the knife board
were not neglected. The enticing offer of
three rings for five cents prevailed
against the better judgment, and many
were the nickels dropped in vain en-
deavor to ring the seemingly valuable
knives and canes. Incidentally the club
realized handsome sum, which will be
used to purchase furnishings for the new
clubhouse At midnight a tired but hap
py crowd of the faithful was seen wend-
ing their respective ways homeward.
