from Germany for all of the Spanish

CHILDREN SHUT OUT.
DisgracefnI Proceedings at a
Confirmation Service
Bishop Wigger
Angry.

The Right Rev. Bishop W. M. Wigger
Indignantly rebuked a crowd of unruly
people, who, in crowding into the Holy
Rosary R. C. Church on Monmouth
street, yesterday prevented nearly two
hundred children from confirmation.
Long before the hour fixed for the cere-
mony big crowd collected around the
church and when the doors were opened
they swarmed in, pushing and fighting for
the best places to witness the ceremony.
1t was no use for mothers with children
to be confirmed appealing to allow them
to enter. They were hustled back and
many of the little ones were hurt in the
scramble TO get into church and returned
to their homes sobbing at their disap-
pointment. Out of $50 to be confirmed
only half that number could get near to
the Bishop for the ceremony.
''Those who prevented from getting in
to the church by the unchristian conduct
of people near to the door must wait until
a later date for Confirmation
Rev. Father Rissa went outside and en-
deavored to persuade the people to make
a passage for the children but he might
have talked to the winds for all that the
mob needed. To add to this unfortunate
state of things number of societies
which were after the ceremony to head a
procession refused to march when they
heard how the children had been treated.
Rev. Father Rissa pleaded with them
not to abandon the programme, but they
were obdurate and walked off.
A small parade was finally held consist
ing of those who had ben confirmed and
others and these marched as far as Jer-
sey avenue and First street mad then bis
banded.
Rev. Father Rissa is very indignant at
yesterdays proceedings and he will see
that on the next confirmation, an early
date being fixed, a force of people if
necessary will kepe a passage clear and
only those who have children to be con-
firmed with their children shall first be
admitted.
In the evening there was a display of
fireworks in front of the church.

The UNSICHTLY SITE.
Citizens in Mass Meeting Ask
for Children's Playground.

The open air mass meeting held under
the auspices of the Hudson City Improve
ment Association and the Twelfth Ward
Public Improvement Association on the
old abandoned reservoir site in the Hud-
son City section Saturday afternoon, was
attended by several hundred people inter-
ested in the conversion of that old eye
sore into a recreation ground for the boys
of the grammar schools of the city and
other local athletes. Mr.. Robert Muir, of
the Hudson City Improvement Associa-
tion presided.
A set of preambles and resolutions read
by Secretary Bugasch of the Twelfth
Ward Public Improvement Association
was indorsed with a shout. 1t urged the
Finance Board to appropriate the $1,000
asked for by the Street and Water Board
to level the ground and convert it into a
playground.
In opening the meeting Mr.. Muir made
an address in which he called attention to
the fact that New York and Hoboken
rightfully boasted of their recreation
piers. Jersey City, with its 215,oOo popula-
ton, according to the latest computed fig
ures, had thus far not even followed it's
younger sister in this line of civilization.
PreSlQenC 11O0Ill, Ol LIE IWSiltu WdTu
Improvement Association, followed in an
address in which he endorsed the opinions
of the chairman of the meeting.
Mr. Barber, of the Hudson City I'm
provement Association, also spoke in the
same strain.
The efforts of the projectors of the
scheme have also the endorsement of the
Rev. Father Weyland and his able assist
ant, the Rev. Father Gabriel of St. Mich
olas Church, overlooking the grounds,
and the Rev. E. A. Meury, of the Second
Reformed Church of Hudson City, within
a stones throw away. All agree that the
present condition of the site is a nuis-
ance.
The project to convert the site into a re-
creation ground has the sanction of
Mayor Hoos, the Street and Water Board,
Superintendent of Schools Snyder, and
President Mulvaney of the Board of Edu-
cation. Tomorrow petition will be cir
culated among the male pupils Of all the
twenty-seven grammar schools ofa7Jersey

Origin of Setting the River ON Fire

In old English times, when each family
was obliged to sift its own flour, it some
times happened that an energetic man
would turn his sieve so rapidly as to
cause it to catch fire. The style of sieve
used in those days was called tense,
and it became a customary saying that
lazy man would never set the tense on
fire. Now it happens that the name OF the
river Thames is pronounced like the name
of this old flour sieve. and after many
years, when the old fashioned tense was
forgotten, it was thought that setting the
tense on fire meant setting the river on
fire, and that is why today we say that
stupid person will never set the river on
