The Rev. George r. Stair, of the
First Baptist Church of Hackensack.
in his last sermon had considerable to
say ON the subject of games as inn
portant and entertaining features for
the young. His treatment of several
games which have been unjustly taboo.
ed was decidedly practical and after
common sense manner. He said in
part:
Instead of our Judging and con-
demning the environment into which
a thing has fallen, we too often judge
the thing itself. Take, for instance,
the bowling alley, SWITCHBOARD and
dominoes; at one time they were
thought to be fit only for the saloon
or low groggery, but they have been
reclaimed by righteous people, and to-
day we find the first in almost all our

dominoes is one in which the chill
dren delight. am looking for the
time when the billiard and the pool
tables will be raised to place of
which they as games of merit and at
are entitled. He also
hoped to reclaim their playing as a
amusement for the social
but believed dancing was be-
yond the pale forever, because of its
physical contact.

LITERARY TOPICS.

The fourth regular meeting of the
Friday Evening Clnb was held in
Lyceum Hall last week. The subject,
Public Libraries" seemed to be an
attractive one, for the audience was a
large and deeply interested.
Prof Charlton T. Lewis opened the
meeting with a few we'll chosen re-
marks on the topic to be discussed,
and introduced S. G. Ayres, A. M !,
who is librarian of Drew Theological
Seminary, Madison. Mr.. Ayres spoke
briefly and concisely on the ancient
manuscripts and other treasures to be
found in the library of the seminary.
He said that among the So, 600 vol
umes and the $1,000 pamphlets con-
tanned therein the most noted were
a number of manuscripts brought from
Constantinople about 600 Bibles. one
of which was the pulpit Bible of
George Whitfield and which was
supposed to be one of the first edition
of Bibles published in this country,
bearing date of 1851; number Of
works on hymnology; and numerous
books on UNCONVENTIONAL history, work
and leaders. He strongly advocated
the establishment and maintenance of
public libraries. as a means of further
ing church unity and cooperation.
He extended a cordial invitation to
the Friday Evening Club to visit the
library of Drew Seminary Saturday
afternoon, December goth.
The remainder of the evening was
devoted to the address of J. HI. Can
field, LII. D., Late Chancellor of the
University of Nebraska and at present
Librarian of Columbia University
DR.. Garfield humorously contrasted
the opening of the libraries from two
to four o'clock two afternoons in the
week under the system of twenty five
years ago with the present freedom al
lowed the students and readers in
both college and public libraries. The
librarians in those days seemed to con-
sist of a class of men or unfortunate
women, incapacitated for other work.
This has been done away with by
giving the librarian the rank of a
professor in college.
Books must today be brought to the
people in much the same manner as
the grocer presents his wares-by adj
vertising and by showing them in
their most tempting form. The sue
cess of such course depends largely
on how greatly the personality OF the
is hidden behind the efforts
which he puts forth.
The suggestion of DR.. Garfield as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of discussing the
recent books and the work of the Ii
braries in one of the town papers has
seemed such good one that the
Chronicle will hereafter make it fea
ture of each issue, and devote more
or less space to literary topics.

The Elizabeth Journal says: Hun
terdon and Somerset and Warren
Counties in this State are shamefully
neglecting their gold mining interests.
1t is now more than year since a
gold mine with big nuggets has been
found on any farm in either of the
counties named. The result is that
New Jersey is likely to suffer, for
already man over in Plowville, Pa,
has found nugget of gold in a goose
which browsed on his farm, and he
and neighbor have found the place
where the goose got the nugget and
are sinking shaft. Now this is a
fine send-off; but not quite so good as
that of the Somerset County farmer
who last year had to fence and white
wash his farm and keep bulldog tied
at every corner to keep bandits and
other politicians from robbing him of
his gold mine and his-well. New
Jersey industries are all prospecting
nightly but not to the extent that
we can afford to have Hunterdon,
Somerset and Warren Counties aban-
don the gold finding industry.

Governor Voorhees, and the commits
sioners who recently visited the
Massachusetts State Reformatory, be-
came convinced that New Jersey
could not afford the expense of main
tanning an institution in the same
manner as that at Concord. The
Massachusetts, institution has $50 in
macs, and the annual cost of mainten-
ance is $50. 000 The New Jersey
State Home for Boys has 1900 in
mates, and the met annual expense
is bnt 1856, 600. The difference i'll favor
of the New Jersey is cansed by the
fact that this state sells the products
of the State home in the open market,
and gets good prices. Massachusetts,
sells the products of her reformatories
only to her other public institutions.

..ions had great difficulty in REFRESHING
his hot-hcaded colleague, notably in 1879,
when Joubert, with Kruger and Preto-
RUS, was planning the rebellion to over
throw British rule in the Transvaal. The
result was Majuba Hill and the practical
independence Of the Transvaal.
1t was Joubert who organized the army
of the South African republic, later on,
dividing the country into seventeen mill
tary departments, and each of these de-
partments into smaller divisions, with
commandants, field comets and lieuten-
ants of various ranks in charge. Accord
ing to the generals plans, every man be-
came q trained soldier without leaving
his farm, and had his equipment ready at
hand. To such a point Of perfection was
the system carried that within forty
eight hours after the present war was
declared the Bocr nation was under arms.
1t was also due to Gen. Joubert that the
South African republics succeeded in
amassing the immense stores of war mu-
nitions and provisions which have stood
them in such good stead during the con-
fiict now in progress.
When the Jameson raiders were locked
up in Pretoria Jail Joubert was strongly.
in favor of their immediate execution.
1t vas not until Joubert and Kruger had
been closeted together for a whole night
that the more merciful counsels Of Kru-
ger prevailed.
In November last it was reported that
Gen. Joubert had been killed in action,
and later reports said he was dangerous
~ wounded and had to use a cart in Or
der to follow the operations in the field.
