Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.")
TRENTON, Dec Is, 1900.-One of the
topics of gossip among the State House
politicians is the rise and fall of the poll
tical bachelor trust of New Jersey.
1t will be remembered that at the be-
ginning of the VOORHEES, administration a
combination of circumstance landed into
important offices young bachelors. The
disappointed married office seekers who
did not connect accused the bachelor poll
ticians or forming trust to corral all the
fat officers
At that time Governor voorhees,, Speak
.er d. o. Watkins, Private Secretary Ho-
bart Tuttle, Senate Leader Edward c..
Stokes, State Comptroller William Han
cock, United States Senator John Kean
and Barker Gummere, all prominent and
active in Republican politics, were unmar-
ried.
The outlook was not at all encouraging g
for the Benedicts. The bachelor trust re-
ceived it's share of bantering. Private Sec
rotary Hobart Tuttle slipped away and
was quietly married, and he dropped out
of the circle. Later, David o. Watkins,
satisfied that he was not likely to be made
real Governor, gave his confreres the
slip and left the trust by attending a fam
lily wedding.
Barker Gummere a few weeks ago an
nounced his withdrawal from politics,
which move has caused his bachelor COM
panion, State Comptroller Hancock to
join him in the withdrawal from the trust.
Governor VOORHEES, is reaching the end
of his tenure, and announces that when
he is through being Governor he will go
back to his law office, and will remain
there, as some predict, until he Is called
to put on the judicial ermine. This leaves
United States Senator Kean and Senator
Stokes the only survivors of the trust, and
they stand ready for mutual dissolution.

pirates effectually blocked the way.
Cant you talk?' asked Tommy Tucker
in his most persuasive tones. He had an
idea that his kindness would win where
Margarets temper awaited nothing. But
still the children were silent
The funniest part of their silence was
that although never a sound escaped
their lips. they kept mumbling to them
selves with the greatest concern, and ev-
cry now and then consulted little books
which they carried under their arms.
You're pack of idiots' shouted Mar
garet, no longer able to refrain from call
ing names "And for all your old books,

But the patience of the Gothanitcs at
last gave way. They set up a dospairlns
wall, and now 1t was time for the pirates
to look on with awe. Whatever does all
them?" they asked each other, verv much
mysiified.
Finally one of the Gothamites spoke. He
was tall, oveIerown boy, and he whim-
pered as he talked.

with never an older person to keep them
in order.
Margaret's face expressed the utmost
establishment, and this was partly be-
cause the children were starting TO walk
right by the pirate party without taking
the least notice of them This was a
thing unheard of! Margaret was unable
to bear the slight and she jumped in front
Of them and called out:
Stop, you funny children! Where are
you going?"
The children stopped short and looked
with much bewiderment at the pirates.
They seemed disturbed and frightened.
And then they looked at each other in
silence, but none of them was disposed
to answer Margaret's question.
why don't you speak and tell me?'
and here Margaret stamped her foot and
screamed, for you see 1t was enough to
make even the best-natured child lose
her temper
The Gothamites shuddered and looked
al each other In awe, at these very I'M
ladylike demonstrations, and then they
