WHITTIER HOUSE SALE.
Thanksgiving Goods Sold In
Bergen Reformed Church.

Rather novel sale. out of the or
dinary run of fairs, was Thanksgiving
sale held yesterday afternoon in the lee
Church, Bergen and Highland avenues,
for the benefit of Whittier House.
This sale was given by Mrs Davey, of
No. 241 Tonnele avenue, who originally
intended holding it at her own residence
but accepted DIR. Brett's invitation and
held it in the church lecture room in
stead
1t was decidedly one of the most sue
cessful sales of the season. 1t opened
about two o'clock in the afternoon, and
before six every thing to the last jar of
preserves had been sold out, without the
necessity of an auction. 1t was distinct
ly sale of edibles, and home made edi-
bles, at that. There were turkeys,
chickens, cranberry sauce mince pies
and mince meat pumpkin pies, apple
pies, cakes, nuts and everything that
goes to make up a Thanksgiving dinner,
done to turn and waiting but to be
eaten. 1t was no wonder that so many
housewives embraced the opportunity of
a Thanksgiving dinner without the worry
and fret of preparation, and bought
everything up in a hurry. By three
o'clock in the afternoon not single
turkey remained.
Among those who assisted at the tables
were:-Miss Doremus, Misses Towar, Mrs
Creveling, Miss Jessie Perry Mrs A. J.
Newbury, Miss Stohr and Miss Cassard
The Junior Monday Afternoon Clut
from the Bergen School for Girls had a
candy table all to themselves. Here the
candies were all homemade and of such
sold out long before it was time to close
Just how much was realized by this
sale is not yet known, but it is expected
that the amount will reach between fifty
and sixty dollars.

BOUTON SILENT.
He Will Not Discuss the
Mayors Veto Until Sal
ary Question Is
Ended.
WILL MAKE STATEMENT THEN
Street and Water Board to
Override Veto at the
Next Meeting.
WILL MAKE STATEMENT THEN

Mayor Hoos' veto of Clerk G. 7.
Boutons additional salary is sti the abb
sorbing topic in the City Hall. That the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers will pass the resolution over the veto
goes without saying.
Mr.. Bouton was not willing to discuss
the veto and what was contained therein.
and his reasons are contained in these
Words
1T would seem to me that courtesy
should preclude the making of any gen
eral statement by me until such time as
the question at issue has been officially
disposed of. / am also quite busy at pres
ent in preparing the annual report of the
Board and in settling up the affairs of the
year. Business usually comes before
pleasure, but some time next week | may
perhaps take little mental recreation
and make full and appropriate answer.
There is. however, one portion of the
document signed by His Honor in which
a very cunning attempt is made to con-
vey the impression that 1 had excused
myself for a seeming remissness by re-
fiecting on a previous admins ration. 1t
is not charged in 80 many words that L
made the statement, but it is evidently
the purpose to convey that impression.
To charge it directly would be to officially
subscribe to an untruth.
q desire to make public acknowledge
men OF the kind. thoughtful and appre-
ciative consideration shown me by every
Board of every political character under
which 1 have served. dating from the
time of my induction into my present Of
fee and still existing. During no portion
of the time have 1 not been free and un-
trammelled in the control of my office.
To the various clerks who have served
under me I would pay public tribute to
the willing and helpful service rendered
by them, and without which 1 could not
have succeeded.
There have been cases where some
clerk would show lack of adaptability
for the work of the office and transference
would be made to some other branch of
the service, but these cases were few and
far between and the harmony and re-
ciprocative personal regard which existed
and still exists between the head of the
Office and his assistants is, 1 believe, not
excelled in any other municipal office
The insinuations made against the office
are so clearly the result of misappre-
hension and are so easily shown to be
without foundation that they can afford
to await answer hereafter"

1t is better to be loony and pure than
to look with ridicule on one who appre-
ciates Gods beautiful works, such as
woman, moon, stars. O! Pascagoula
how God has blessed thee; how grateful
TO Him thou should'st he,
so many summer visitors desire to
spend the warm season on the Pasca-
goula coast, but the lack of a large sum-
mer hotel, where they can find all the
comforts and freedom of home pre-
vents their coming. Oh, why cannot
the olden time return when the old ho-
tells were the scenes OF enjoyment, when
wealth and fashion crowded their halls
and delightful music enlivened the gay
dance of the bellies and beaux! WHY
cannot we have the same again? All
that would be required would be some
little capital literally and sensibly han
died by an enterprising man. Where is
he?
only short while since we raved in
our Ems about the beauty of the moon
and how she sh cd her glory over the Pas
cagoula skies. Since then the innumer-
able stars that hold their place in the
heavens seem to have grown jealous and
have determined to show what they can
do. The great stars which set their
thrones up on high at the call of night
order forththeir myriads of hand maid
ems to pierce the blue Of the heavens and
come shining through like rays of the
celestial home itself. As says Byron
"The sky
Spreads like an ocean hung on high
Bespangled with those isles IF light
SO wildly, spiritually bright.
Who ever gaZ'd upon them shining,
And turn'd to earth without repining,
Nor wish'd for wings to flee away"
And mix with their eternal ray?'
1t is strange what mellowing infu-
ence starlight has upon the human heart,
and how their voices make q towards
heart look within inself reflective mood
and cause him to repent of his evil ways.
