DIVIDE IN LITERATURE.
Novels of Purpose and Ethical
Novels Explained Before
Odd Volumes Yes
terday.

Miss Carroll, of Brooklyn, entertained
the Odd Volumes yesterday afternoon
with a very interesting lecture on THE
Great Divide of Literature" at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Charles Appleby, No 20
Bentley avenue. Miss Pitcher, of the Odd
Volumes, Mrs. Appleby's niece, was
hostess.
Usually the club has several papers by
its members, but yesterday Miss Carroll
had the literary field all to herself. She
is professional lecturer. She came to
the Odd Volumes through Mrs. John A.
Walker.
Miss Carroll said her subject was sug-
gested by the Great Divide in the Rocky
Mountains, where it was hard to dis
tinguish which way the waters fell. So
in the novel, which she divided into two
classes, the novel of purpose and the
ethical novel, it was hard to draw the
dividing line. Dickens's novels were class
ed as those of purpose, as were also
Charles Reades, while George E,iot's and
Mrs. Wards partook of the nature of
both. Thackeray was classed as ethical,
Vanity Fair being largely. quoted to
bring out the character of Becky Sharp.
Little Dorrit'' was also largely quoted,
and characters from Kingsleys works
mentioned, but it was George Eliot who
came in for the ~lggest share. In Daniel
Deronda' the speaker said one really got
a double story, those of "Gwendolin'' and
"Deronda.'' Miss Carroll explained in
each case just why the novels mentioned
were novels of purpose or ethical.
The programme was further enhanced
by Mrs. Talbot Chambers, who sang with
her usual charm, being forced to respond
to encore and encore.
At the conclusion of the meeting re-
freshments were served and it was decid-
ed to hold the next meeting two weeks
hence at the residence of Mrs. Talbot
Chambers, on Jersey avenue. Just prior
to the guest meeting, a letter was read
from the president, Mrs. Cecilia Gaines
Holland, thanking the club for its hand
some present of silver bowl and plate
to her little three-weeks' old daughter,
Cecilia Gaines No. 2.
There was an unusual number of guests
present yesterday. Among them were:-
Mrs. Edward Van Winkle, Mrs James
Throckmorton, Mrs Charles Negus, Mrs.
Maxwell Grierson, Mrs. Otto Grouse, Mrs
G. V. H. Brinkerhoff, Mrs. f. T. Hotch-
kiss. Mrs. E. S. Forbes, Mrs. Elmer I'm
derhill Mrs. Charles Carrick and Miss A.
D. Fuller.

This people of New Jersey owe a debt of
gratitude to the New York Harbor Line
Board, composed of regular army engi-
neers. which has just reported to the
Secretary of War against the scheme of
Edward F. Cragin to fill in about one
hundred acres of the land under water
between Ellis and Bedloe Islands.
This valuable franchise which the Re-
publican Board of Riparian Commission
ers gave to Mr. Cragin for practically
nothing will now be returned to the State
and the great wrong which the carrying
out Of the grant would have done is
averted
What the people of New Jersey wonder
at the most In connection with this mat
ter is how the Riparian Commissioners
came to make the grant as they did.

COOKING CLASS CLOSED.
Club Women Return Home
Carrying Rare Bargains
in Pots and Pans.

Those women fortunate enough to be-
long to the cooking class maintained oy
the House Department of the Woman 5
Club, passed a delightful morning yester-
day in Phillips Hall, when Miss Fielitz.
the teacher, gave the last lesson in the
course of ten. The storm had prevented
but few of the members from attending
and the small room at the back of the
main hall used by the class as kitchen
was crowded. Each dish as usual was
tasted as 1t came from the cooks hands,
so that even though the class remained
unusually late, some not leaving till after
two. the members did not suffer from
hunger.
The lesson included ragout of chicken
with farina balls. fillet of sole with white
wine sauce, stuffed tomato salad. cauli-
flower au gratin, fruit rolls, prune souffle
and cocoa.
After all the dishes had been cooked.
tasted and declared delicious. Mrs. David
A. Bishop in a neat little original poem
presented Miss Fielitz the teacher, with
Il handsome silver handled silk umbrella.
and the maid who had assisted Miss
Fielitz, with pocketbook, on behalf OF
the class. Mrs. Bishop, in her poem, re-
viewed the work done by the class, giving
words of praise to Miss Edge, Chairman,
Miss Fielitz in particular and everybody
in general, together with some good ad-
vice. of which the following is an ex-
tract
When a man is tired and hungry, feel
ing cross and rather blue,
He would much prefer his dinner than to
look at something new
Then remember, you young ladies from
New Jerseys sandy plain,
When you're planning for the future do
not count your labor vain.
"But believe me when I tell you mans
all stomach, do your part,
Fill him up with all the good things,
then you'll surely win his heart
As the class had no further use for lis
cooking utensils-at least until next year
- ley were auctioned off at rare bargains,
$ rare that the purchasers felt compen-
sated for carrying big double boilers, pots
and pans, badly tied and scantily cover
ed through the streets, no c. o. D. de-
livery wagons having been provided.

il is IMPORTANT.
To Know What You Arc Taking
When Using Catarrh Medicine.

Catarrh is the short route to censump-
ton, and the Importance of early and
judicious treatment of catarrh, whether
located in the head, throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered, numerous and
confusing, from sprays inhalers, washes,
ointments, and salves to powders, liquids
and tablets.
The tablet form Is undoubtedly the
most convenient and most effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh rene
dies it is almost entirely matter of
guesswork as to what you are taking
into your system. as the proprietors,
while making all sorts of claims as to
what their medicines will do, always
keep it a close secret as to what they
are.
The success and popularity of the new
catarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets,
is largely because 1t not only cures ca
tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who
used these tablets know what they are
taking into their systems. Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets being composed of Eu-
colyptol, Hydrastin, Guaicol and similar
valuable and antiseptic ingredients, and
are pleasant to the taste and being dis
solved in the mouth they take immedi-
ate effect upon the mucous lining of the
throat, nasal passages and whole respi-
ratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases
of catarrh are little short of remarkable,
and the advantage of knowing what you
are putting into your stomach is of para
mount Importance when it is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
dial approval from physicians. because
their antiseptic character render them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition makes them
a common sense cure for all forms of
catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at 80 cents for
full sized packages.

as only the Bergen Reformed ladies' know
how to serve-everythng deliciously done
to turn service dainty and decorations

pots were arranged in sweet profusion
on the several tables. Salads, prettily ar

As this was the last luncheon of the
season, there was no committee to ap-
point for next time. In May a business
meeting will be held, when the outing,
with which the society generally closes
for the summer, will be decided upon.
At the conclusion of the luncheon the
dishes left over were disposed of at auc-
ton. Mrs. Peter Sip Van Wrinkle, presl-
dent of the society. acted as auctioneer,
and caused lots of fun by her spontaneous
wit. The palms were also disposed of in

DIRECTOR VOORHEES,. MAYBE.
Governor Will See How Much Wor
Is in the Job.

Governor Voorhees, was elected direc-
tor of the Albany & Hudson Railway

The Governor was asked regarding his
election by reporter during his visit g
the State Prison with the committee Of

The position being one outside the State

after moments consideration said ne
would first ascertain what would be the
duties required by the position.
The Governor has frequently in the past
acted in the capacity of confidential aa-
