SEVENTIES COMMITTEES.
President DUFF Appoints Memb er
to Serve This Year.

The regular meeting of the Seventh
Ward Democratic Club was held last
night at the club house on Ocean avenue.
Contrary to expectations, peace and har-
mony reigned supreme at the meeting.
amendments to the constitution, which
were expeced to be offered last night,
again were withdrawn. The amendments
were laid over from the previous meeting.
There were number of the membrs who
wre opposed to the amendments and
lively meeting might have resulted had
they not been withdrawn.
A large number of new members were
proposed last night, the number exceed
ing forty.
President Duff appointed his committees
last night. Among those appointed was
the membership committee which will
carefully investigate each name proposed
to see whether or not the applicant is
over the age limit of eighteen. There
are a number of young boys in the club
who are under eighteen and whom the
membership committee are desirous of re-
moving from the club rolls.
The question of dues was brought up
and as great many members are in
favor of not paying any dues the Execu-
tive Committee was instructed to meet
and see whether or not ways and means
could be devised whereby revenue could
be raised to run the club without having
any dues.
The feeling which was imposed to exist
over the keen rivalry displayed in the re-
cent election for offers, has now disap-
peared entirely and all the members are
pulling together and working in harmony
for the best interests of the club and the
Democratic party.
President Duff named the following
committees last night Executive Com

COUNTY CAyAR'S BALL.

Imperial Music Hall on Gregory street
was filed last evening with jolly lot of
people who enjoyed themselves from
early in the evening until daylight this
morning. The event was the sixth am
nual ball of the County Cavan Men S

negligent in not calling the attention Of
the Legislature to her condition before.
The Hudspeth bill gives away the right
of the State, whether the canal is aban-
doned or not. Not one guarantee is made
of the rights of interests of the State, nor
is the rights of owners of lakes or mill
dams safely guarded in any way. If the
Hudspeth bill is passed. the measure will
go down to history as be' the same
class as the coal combine ation.
Further consideration of the bill was
deferred until IL o'clock today
The Senate this morning took up Mr.
Reeds bill again. Mr.. Hudspeth renewed
his motion of last night to postpone the
bill until Senate No. 1852 is reported by the
a further postponement until tomorrow
morning. Mr.. Cross took the chair and
Mr.. Pitney, on the floor, objected. say
ing that Mr.. Hudspeth had last night
withdrawn that motion in favor of one
permitting the postponement of the bill
until today. Mr.. Hudspeth replied that
he had intimated no such purpose and
argued in favor of his position, saying
that he understood the committee holding
the abandonment bill would soon report
it with amendments which might make
it acceptable. He also objected to Mr.
Reeds bill because it invaded the char
ter rights of the canal company. The
charter provides for a sale to the State
by appraisement in 1923 and that if the
State does not then act, the abandon
ment goes over to 1918.
Mr. Pitney said he could see no sense
in this objection since the Canal Company
itself was seeking to be released now. He
added that the company would give an
option. The bill pasesd IS to (Mr. Hud-
speth.)
Mr.. Hudspeth explained that he voted
against the bill in behalf of the interests
of Jersey City struggling for a pure water
supply. Mr.. Martin said he was inclined
to vote no, also because the time for the
Commissions report was not fixed at next
winter, but as the abandonment bill, was
not likely to come up, he would not op-
pose the present measure.

CHURCH CLOUDS LIFTING
Universalist People Are Buckling to
With a Will.

The affairs in the First Universalist
Church, Summit avenue, have taken a de-
cided change for the better and the dark
clouds that were lowering over thar little
edifice are now passing away. The COM
mittee of workers which is canvassing
among the members, seeking opinions as
to the advisabillty of continuing services,
reports that the work thus far accom-
plished proves that there is no desire on
the part of the congregation to have the
church closed.
1t will take about $1,000 to run the church
for another year. Already subscriptions
amounting to nearly half that sum have
been promised. The members could not
bear to have the church closed and those
appealed to responded willingly.
The annual session will be held in May.
when this committee Will report the result
of the canvass. BY that time it is expect
ed that permanent pastor may be chos-
en- to succeed Mr.. Vail.

HOW THE MONEY GOES.

and Some Bad Appropri-

Especial to 'tThe Jersey City News"1
TRENTON, March IS. 1901-The Appro-
priation Committee held a meeting yes
terday afternoon and agreed to several
important appropriations For the purpose
of additional ground at Kearny for the
Soldiers Home there was set aside $14, ZOO
For the Trenton Armory $4,000 was ap-
propriated This is one of the most
shameful pieces of Republican hypocraisy
on record. There is no more need for an
Armory in Trenton than there is for fire
wheels to an ordinary wagon, but there
was clamor in certain quarters for the
building and the Republican leaders
thinking some party advantage might be
gained by granting the request and the
bill went through under party pressure
President Farrelly of the Morris Plains
Asylum and ex-senator Moses K Everitt
warden of the institution appeared before
the committee and asked for $57, ,0O0 They
said that $3.50 was wanted to pay for
building which was erected after the
Legislature adjourned last winter 1t
seems that the Board went to the Cover
nor with plans and asked him to ap-
prove of the scheme
He refused to have anything to do with
the matter unless the Legislature sane
toned the matter. The Board said that
they would go ahead with the building
and would pay for it out of what they
call their "house fund.- which is made
up of the money received for pay pa
tients. They didn't do SO. however, and
came to the Legislature asking the State
to pay for the new building. This the
committee refused to do and cut out the
$4,000, thus making their appropriation
$22 900.
The Railway Reformatory Commission
ers asked for s191,000 and got s134, 800.
Then the Palisades Commission came for
ward with a modest request for 100000
to be applied to the purchase of the Pali-
sades for public park. Their spokes-
men were Senator Wakeley of Bergen and
George r. Perkins of the Commission
They said that New York had appro-
priated 100000 for the purchase of the
Palisades in that State and that the
Commission had received subscriptions
amounting to s125,0oO upon the condition
that the State make an appropriation.
The committee laid the matter over to
Wednesday when it will hold its final
meeting

Inc Board of Street and Water Com
missioners received the following COM
munication today
Jersey City, March Is, 1901
To the Honorable the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners
MISUNDERSTANDING your communi-
cation on the 18th inst. the road between
Pen Horne Creek and Tonnele avenue is
a County Road, and is not within the
jurisdiction of Jersey City as a munich
pal rnoroughfare. the road was laid out
by the county at width of one hundred
feet, and appears to have been improved
at its centre for width of about forty
feet, leaving thirty feet on each side of
the travelled path. 1t is proposed by the
Jersey City Water Supply Company to
lay pipe under the ground of the road
intervening between the lands of the Erie
Railroad and the improved part of the
make request of the Board of Chosen
Freeholders, who have sole control over
the thoroughfare, to permit the laying of
water pipe under the unimproved portions
of e-le road. / think the city is bound to
make this request under the contract,
dated February %, 1899, assigned by Mr..
Patrick II. Flynn to the Water Supply
Company. That contract provides:-
The city will agree to exert or exercise
SUCH powers or rights in the matter of
condemnation or otherwise as it now has
or may hereafter acquire, and which may
be advantageously used or exercised for
the purposes of the contract, in order to
enable the use or acquisition of such
water rights and lands or other property,
for the right of way, storage reservoirs
and other works or plants, as may be
necessary to the proper and convenient
construction and maintenance of said
system of water works to supply Jersey
City as aforesaid, etc.
/ think that a request that the city
should petition the county authorities is
as much within the provision as a request
that the city should proceed in the matter
of condemnation of lands. A failure to
make. the request asked by the Water
Supply Company could be used with con-
siderable force as plea that the city au-
thorities had obstructed the completion of
the work of supplying the city with water
under the contract mentioned.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) ALLAN L. McDERMOTT,
Corporation Counsel.

Do Not Fail to Protect Yourself.

The farmer reeds the pro-
cel DIS of his crops to be raised
this SESSION to meet his obllga-
tons in the fall; but the danger
that the crops will be destroyed
by hail is not removed unless
protected in some reliable lnsur-
ance company. Now is the time
to investigate the claims of rival
insurance companies for your
business. The State Mutual In
surance Company of Hankinson,
N. D., will give YOU an opportun.
itY to secure protection at the
lowest possible cost. They paid
all losses last year, and made a
small assessment. It will pay
YOU to take out your insurance at
the first opportunity, when their
agent calls on you.
