HELPING HAND BIRTHDAY
Negro w. C. T. U. Celebrates
Its First Year of Work
A. M. E. Church.

The Helping Hand Union of the w. G.
T. u. was just one year old yesterday.
The Helping Hand is a negro union-the
only one in the county, and an especial
pet with w. C. T. U. federations. 1t is
most appropriately called the .colored
baby" although at present with its for
ty-eight members it seems quite as capa-
BILE of taking care of itself as many larg-
er and older unions of grown up whites.
Last night the Helping Hand celebrated
its second birthday at the African M. E.
Zion Church, Monmouth street, between
Seventh and Eighth street, with a most
elaborate supper, served in the church
parlors from six to eight, followed by a
most interesting programme from S:15 10
1890.
1t was certainly grand sight-those
long tables with the long row of negroes
on either side with a few whites" repre-
sentatives from other unions, scattered
throughout like pumpkins in a corn patch.
The tables were very prettily decorated
with flowers and ferneries. Bishop Alex
ander Walters, ID, the guest of honor,
presided
At 8:15 the assemblage adjourned to the
der by the president, the Rev Mrs. RAN
dolph. The church was crowded, and the
president looked over the audience with a
satisfied smile as she introduced the
speakers.
There was Scripture reading by the Rev.
William Edwards, invocation by the Rev
s. c. Birchmore, and a report of the
years work by Miss H. A. Floto, who
with Mrs. l. Story, the county president
has been indefat1gable in her work among
the negroes and especially in making this
union a success.
Mrs. Bourne, the State President. gave a
very able address ON the Influence of
Young Women" and Mrs. Story another
able address on Moderate Drinking" The
address of the evening" however, was
made by Bishop Walters who spoke on
'"rhe Negro and the Liquor Question:
The negro. he said, could not afford to
drink because, first. he was a poorer man
than his white neighbor; second because
of the prestige of the white race, and,
third, because he needed all his brains IN
the struggle for race equality. He has to
make a position for himself and needs all
the superior qualities he can bring to
bear in his competition with the superior
race.
Professor Mason, a negro college grad
uate from the South, also spoke of the
race and liquor problem.
At the conclusion of the programme
flowers were presented to Mrs. Bourne,
Mrs. Story and Mrs Randolph. Miss II.
A. Floto was presented with a handsome
gold pendant bearing her name and the
w. c. T. u. insignia in appreciation of her
work in the union. Then when all presen-
tation speeches had been given and re-
turned with thanks, the assemblage again
adjourned to the church parlors where
cake and cream were served.

were all respondent in the gold and glitter
Of their full-dress uniforms.
The banqueters took their places at the
anle soon after eight O'Clock, and the
gathering did not break up until nearly
midnight, yet it is hardly fair TO say that
II required more than three hours to
satisfy their hunger
Like all gatherings made UP of poll
uc4ans and high public officials, politics
formed quite large portion of the talk
and discussion of the evening, New
Jersey politics coming in, of course, for
their full share of the discussion No
set programme of speakers or subjects
had been arranged by Representative
Fowler, and no long speeches were in
dulged in by any of the speakers, yet sew
eral after-dinner speeches were made.

NEW GRAIN ELEVATOR.
Lehigh Valley Road to Build
Another on Black
Tom.

The enormous increase in the freight
traffic of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
since the completion of its double track
system to Buffalo, necessitates the erec-
tion of a second big grain elevator at
Black Tom. Contracts for the erection
of this proposed mammoth structure, will
soon be awarded and the work will be
pushed vigorously. The elevator will be
on the same plan as the one now in use
and will have a storing capacity as great.
This road will soon be as big handlers Of
grain as either the Pennsylvania or Erie
roads, both of which have enormous ele-
vators near the river front.
The growth of the Lehigh Valleys
freight trade since the summer, has been
surprising. The new double track system
which took almost ten years to complete.
is thought to be the reason for this in
crease of traffic The road is now in a.
position to handle freight with apparent
ease.
What surprises the residents more than
anything is tie manner IN which the en-
tire Communipaw shore front of the New
York Bay and the lands whereabouts are
being converted into big freight yards.
Two years ago there were acres and acres
of property lying idle. Today the place
is scarcely recognized with the network
of tracks. A freight yard has been estab-
lished at Communipaw with thousands OF
cars can be started. The shore front is
being rendered useless for boating because
of railroad encroachments. Several yacht
clubs, among them the Pavonia, were
forced to give up their quarters on the
shore The trestle of the railroad rem
ders the shore useless to the boatmen.
In Lafayette, just off Communipaw ave-
nue., yards have been established very
recently, and on Johnston avenue more
yards are now in use. The Pacific ave-
nue. yards may be increased in size soon,
because of demands for more room. The
railroad owns all the meadow land on the
north side of Pacific avenue, and this may
some day be converted to freight uses.
If so the railroad will have to cross at
grade, and a big fight on this question
would arise again. The citizens are de-
termined to oppose any such crossing.
In Greenville the largest of the outlying
freight yards is in use. Numerous farm
lands now in use for farm purposes will
soon go to make more room for freight
cars. The property lies south of Chapel
avenue and the railroad has been stopped
on several occasions from taking the right
of way over that street. The street is not
high enough to allow a tunnel to be built
and trouble arises on that point. The rail-
road wants a grade crossing in the worst
way and will make a strong fight for it
in order to get at its now useless lands
on the other side. The fight has been
going on for years. The road has several
tracks leading to its grain elevator and
more may be added when the second
structure goes up and is put in use.

sociation last night celebrated its twenty
fifth year of life with a banquet at

! Greenville Building and Loan Associa-
tion in recognition for duty faithfully per-
formed as secretary for twenty-five years,

The speech of presentation was made
by Senator-elect Robert S. Hudspeth. Mr.
Hudspeth spoke very feelingly of the re-
gard which the members had for their
SECRETARY and paid a tribute to the manner
in which he had managed the affairs of
the association, which had come under his
control The Sentaor gave resumes of
the work accomplished by the association
since its beginning. He said in part
Tonight marks an epoch in the history
of building and loan associations in this
county, inasmuch as we, the pioneer as
sociation, for we may call ourselves such.
are celebrating the twenty-ffth ami
versary of our birth and can look back
over a period in which the record we
have made is hard to parallel.

is due, we must think of the work and
energy of the board of management who
have carried US on to success and helped
us to weather the storms WHICH have
arisen during our career, and the pole
horse fifth wheel of them has been Rich
ard Routh, our guest and secretary, whose
brain has conceived the majority of
policies, all of which have been clean,
forcible and intelligent, and / think it is
both meet and proper that we should say,
Well done thou good and faithful SER
want Every tick of this watch is the
pit-a-pat of the heart beat of the mem
bers and carries with it the most heart
felt regard
Various other gentlement were called
upon. They responded, giving their ex-
pressions of regard for Mr.. Routh and
the interest which they took in the as
sociation.

present and enjoyed the excellent repast
which set before them. The room was
very prettily decorated with cut flowers
and palms.

COLLEGE WOMEN DANCE.
Musical Given at sherry's to Raise
Funds

The New York College Women's Club
gave a benefit concert and subscription
dance, for the scholarship fund, at Sher-
rvs, Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth
street, Tuesday evening. The active
members of this society are composed only
of ladies who have graduated from Vas
sar. Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr and
other women's colleges. Associate mem
bers are elected as in all other societies
The members of the College Women $
Club and their friends were received by
the President, Miss Irwin Martin, who
was beautifully gowned in white, with
pearl ornament; Mrs. Angus Cameron,
wife of former Senator Cameron; Mrs
George P. Lawton and Mrs. Theodore SUIT
ro, who wore a most becoming costume of
pink crepe de chine and diamond orna-
ments.
After the formal introduction to the
president and the ladies who received
with her, most delightful concert was
given. 1t was the first performance of
Mile Marie Schade, who is an artist and
pupil of Grieg. Others were Miss Mary
Helen Howe, soprano; Mr.. Robert Hosea
.hasso; Miss Frances Miller, soprano; Mr.
Ellison Van Hoose, tenor; and Froken
Broken Lasson. The concert was delight
full in every respect.
Strange to say at the dance which fol-
lowed the musicale. the proportion OF
men to women was about four to one. 1t
is seldom that at any public ball in New
York more men than ladies are found
seeking partners. 50 this dance last even
ing proved that college women, instead of
frightening away the young men, as some
old fashioned people would have us be-
lieve are attractive.
very large profit was derived from
this concert AID dance. 1t viii be used to
send some des erving girl to college for ali
education 4.

Yesterday afternoon several members OF
the Committee on Ways and Means, includ-
ing Messrs. Payne, Dalzell. Steele. Russell,

House should be passed.
Hare you anything definite and tangi-
bic from him that you can present to the
conference tonight?" the Representative
was asked.

than has been said"
II the President wants the bill why
does he not manifest his desire in a way
that oil may know it?'
Because" was the answer, "he IS not
In a position where he can do so with dig
nifty and propriety. Il would seem like in
terfering with Congress in its consideration
of a pending bill. But he wants the bill
passed. and has sent 20 the Republicans
TO its passage to call upon him and
confer about It..
Shortly after the return Of the Ways and
Means members to the Capitol, It was said
about the House that a satisfactory un-
derstsnding had been reached with the
President and that the fact would be pre-
seuted TO the conference last night.
