The local Republican organ of Elizabeth
devotes almost column Of its space,
valuable or otherwise, to the discussion
of the question, "What Is aNDemocrate"
apropos of the Governors trouble to find
one of that party to become a member OF
the gerrymander commission, which js
to redistrict the city so that it's control
will be turned over to the Republicans
Mr.. Peter Egenolf. a man whose Democ-
racy is above suspicion, was first select
ed to be eatspaw to pull the chestnuts
out of the fire for the Republicans. but he
declined to serve. Another gentleman
named Febrey was then named. and he
consented to save the Republicans fin
gers from getting burned. Thereupon the
Elizabeth Times raised the point that
Mr.. Febrey was not a Democrat or he
would not have accepted the appointment.
1t was this contention that caused the
Republican organ to devote so much OF
its space to the question. The entire ar
ticle reduced to its lowest possible terms.
produces the statement that a good DEM
ocrat is one who lends himself to a Re-
publican scheme for capturing public
office and the fat spoils incident thereto.

MADE A LONG STEP.
And Now DR.. Weeks Sues Essex
County.


TSpecial to "The Jersey City News."1
NEWARK, July q. 1a0l.-Dr. Grenyiile
c. Weeks, veteran of the civil war and
of Indian campaigns in the West, has
brought suit in the Supreme Court to re-
cover sSO,0O0 damages from Somerset
county for injuries received through the
alleged negligence of the county in failing
to provide railings or lights at bridge

600 DeGraw avenue. Forest Hill. ana mas
a summer residence in Rernardsyiiie. He
is wealthy.
On last November 0 the doctor arrived
at Gladstone by train about nine o'clock
at night and started to walk to the Glad
stone House. The night was dark and
rainy. While crossing bridge over q
tributary of the Raritan River DR.. Weeks
thought he heard a vehicle approaching,
and stepped to one side to let It pass. He
stepped on something he believed TO be
sidewalk In reality it was wall, ALONG
the top of this wall he walked for several
hundred feet, when suddenly he stepped
off into space and fell on top Of a ran
fence, sustaining serious injuries,
With the aid of a man who CHANGED to
be passing he made his way to the hotel
The next day he was brought back to
Newark, where he went to a hospital and
submitted to several operations. Among
the diseases DR.. Weeks alleges he suffered
from because of his fall are seiatica,
dropsy, hemorrhage. neuralgia, lumbago,
rheumatism and orchitis.

The hopes and fears of those good Re-
publieans who have staked their political
all upon the nomination Of Franklin Muir
phy for Governor are eagerly following
the Hon. ..Davie" Baird of Camden, as
one of the ocean greyhounds carries him
swiftly over the bounding deep, to meet
General Sewell. What emergency has
arisen of late TO compel the Hon,
"Davie" to drop everything and fly to
the choice little Swiss mountain resort,
where the General is negotiating new
lease on life, is deeply perplexing the
Murphyites.
They are convinced of one thing and
that is that the Camden mans mission
has wholly 10 do with their chiefs cam
didacy. The last few weeks have de-
veloped such strong opposition to their
man in various parts Of the State that
they believe that the great boss, having
heard something of the seriousness of the
situation, has summoned the Hon.

obtain from one, in whom he has
confidence, a true account of the state of
affairs This 1t is that provokes the hopes
and fears of Mr.. Murphy and his faithful
followers. They hope that Davie will
tell the "old man. as they call General
Sewell, that the opposition to Mr.. Muir
ply is all the work of Dame Rumor"
and the Trenton correspondents who
are at their wits end to make space for
their papers, On the other hand, they
fear that the Hon. "Davie' will tell the
General exactly how things are going;
that the opponents of Mr.. Murphy's
nomination In Essex, Passaic. Morris and
the South Jersey counties contain in their
number some of the best politicians in
these counties. and those who are al
ways to be relied upon to get the bal
lots into the box when votes are needed
the most and that the movement is
growing so strong that it would be
fatal. hlunder to allow the paint maker
of Newark to secure the nomination.
The state of mind into which the alter
nate exultation of hope and paralysis of
fear have thrown the followers of the
Hon. Franklin is indeed narrowing, and
Murphyite is not a happy one.

Especial to "The Jersey City News.")
PATERSON, July %, 1901.-The execu-
tor of the estate of Jacob 8. Rogers, who
were appointed during the pcndeney OF
the litigation resulting from the fling OF
the numerous caveats to the will. have
been examining into the value OF the
estate. and 1t seems that 1t will be valued
at something like $6.0Q0.0o0.
A careful examination of the railroad
and other securities owned by the estate
tends to confirm the estimate OF tneir
value made by William Pennington few
days after the death Of Mr.. Rogers, TINS
estimate being that the value of these Sc
curities would amount to about ssoVo,ooe'
But Rogers had more real estate than
was generally supposed.
The present indications are that the

WHERE THE AID COMES IN
Dr.. Stoddard Tells How 1t
Helps Intelligent
. Giving. :

The following article appears in IS.
johns Bulletin" published by the Rev
E. L. stoddard. reet9r of 81 st. Johns Ep'sr,
copal Church, sDaa ST
,fhc rector is no longer actively connect
ed with the Organized Aid for reasons
which are not necessary to restate, but he
has the same opinion which he mas al.
ways mad of the absolute necessity Of
such IN institution for every well regulat-
ed city, and of its value to every church,
benevolent institution and benevolent In
dividuai in the city. AS an Illustration he
desires to relate the following
Two weeks ago there came to his door
a young man with apparently good cree
dentials. He had been soldier in the
Philippines, had an honorable discharge,
was a gentleman in speech manner and
education. He was tremendously dirty,
but that was accounted for by mis- story
that he had walked from Washington,
which was crowded with old soldiers
looking for work, to Philadelphia, and
then to Jersey City in the sitting hot
June weather. He deceived the rector,
hardened, suspicious, cynical as he is.
With his manner and his papers he might
have deceived anyone INTO giving him the
price of supper and lodging In fact he
did deceive many and probably got $40 out
OF Jersey City, The Aid is SO poor that
1t can't keep open all day, and so when 4
man of this stamp comes round about
dusk there is temptation to help him, as
the rector did. But he hade him go to
the Aid next morning. Instantly that In
stitution put itself in communication with
branch offices in different parts of the
United States, and in few days the fol-
lowing report was sent to the rector:
1--WE learn that is very well
known to all our agents In Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago. In
the latter place $40 was spent on him In
the endeavor to cure him of the morphine
habit. After treatment he was returned
to Washington. Later he applied to So
cieties in baltimore and received consider
able attention. His relatives are disgust
ed with him. He has worked successfully
several Episcopal churches in other
cities''
This does not mean that We may not
pity and aid any poor victim Of any un-
fortunate habit, but 1t means that through
the Aid we can get at the true history
Of the applicant and 80 help intelligentiy.
No one who wishes wisely and inteili-
gently to help his suffering fellow men
should refuse to Identify himself with
this organization and become yearly
patron. and If one may give any advice
from outside, no one should fail to see
that the present efficient agent does not
leave us, as she intends to do, because not
receiving adequate financial support.

ROGERS SALE TO STAND

Especial to 'The Jersey City News.o
TRENTON, July 20. 19Ol.--yice Chancel.
lor Emery has filed an opinion denying
the application of George H. Longbotto'n
to have set aside the order of the court
confirming the sale of the Rogers Loeo-
motive Works at Paterson to smith anu
Helran for $6Qz,0o0. The Vice Chancellor,
in his opinion, says he sees no reason iof
changing the order of the court sustaln-
ing the sale.
Longbottom owns only seventeen shares
of the company. The completion OF the
sale was originally opposed by the inter-
national Power Company, which offered
sg5O,O0o. This offer. however, was made
too late,
