CONSTITUTION BEAT COLUMBIA.
New HerreshOF Racer Crosses Line
Four Minutes Ahead.


Newport, r. l., Aug. 11.-BQat for
boat the Constitution beat the Column
bia by minutes and seconds. 1t
was hard hammer to windward and
return In an ls knot breeze.
The new Hsrresho6 racer In new
form did wonderfully well. Her per
formancs was in every respect ad.
mirable, but tho result was not alto
getler satisfactory as test Of relative
speed, BECAUSE Is mlputes after the
start the Columbia suffered mishap
which cost her all OF five minutes in
time and, in the judgment Of most
yachtsmen, the race. Her bowsprit
sHrouds were found to be too long. As
the wind freshened and she lay over at
a sharp angle the big stick which they
supported buckled dangerously, so that
it was necessary to lufr her to take In
the slack. At the same time her steer
ing gear was useless for some minutes
while she was jumping IN the seas, and
she waved about almost helpless.
Repairs were made with remarkable
skill and speed, and she was sent away
again. but well astern Of her rival, for
the Constitution had passed her and
taken commanding position on the
weather bow Of the unfortunate boat.
The Constitution rounded the outer
mark two minutes ahead, having gain
ed in elapsed tille = minutes and a
seconds in the 10 mile beat to wind
ward.
On the run in. which was made with
spinnakers and balloon jihs, the new
boat came like race horse and made
a gain Of ! minute and IS seconds more.
Both boats were handled admirably,
and. barring the accident to the Colum-
bia. It was grand race. at times bor-
deripg on the sensational.

Church Advertising.

The Rev. DIR. Elmer e. Whitaker,
pastor of the First Methodist Church,
of Ashtabula, has introduced an inno-
vation in religious circles.
He advocates the use of large dis
play newspaper advertising, set in
heavy black-faced type, as means of
increasing the number of converts
and the attendance at church services.
The first test which he gave to this
plan had the effect of doubling the
size of his congregation. His second
advertisement increased the average
attendance 150, on Sunday evening
to 400 which crowded the church.
DR.. Whitaker does not ask the
papers to print his advertisements
free, nor even at half rates. The
newspapers do the work we'll, he
claims and they should be paid for it.
He says the pastor who wishes tc
reach the business men must place
his announcements where the business
columns catch the eye of thousands
who do not look in the church notice
departments.
DIR. Whitaker claims that to be
effectual the advertisements must be
written in style to attract the
reader. In ten inches double column,
at the top of column, and next to
reading matter, DR.. Whittaker's ad-
vertisement recently read;
. Wanted, a few more saints "a few
more men; few more Methodists, &
few more sinners to become saints.
Meetings tonight at the First M. e.
! Church; subject A Fool and Hi
Companion. "
Another read:
Hear me. Will all the.stores, clubs
lodges, be SO kind as to close durin,
the next week in the evening, that al
may attend church.

Won't Marry Drinkers.

Philadelphia young women are
about to organize for a war on the
saloons They will not adopt the
Kansas methods, for they have nc
desire to achieve notoriety. They
have better scheme than that. They
are going to put the social screws on
the young men to force them to be
good.
Two Sundays hence, at great meet
ings to be held in Industrial Hall, a
temperance league of young women is
to be formed. The members will sol
emnly pledge themselves not only to
abstain from strong drink themselves
but also to have no social relations
with any man who uses Intoxicating
liquor or who even frequents places
where it is sold. They are also to
oppose all other social evils. But par
ticularly they promise not to marry
saloon young men.
The movement, though it is led by
the Rev. DR.. H. M. Wharton, Bap-
tist Clergyman, is undenominational
It's originator was long associated
with Dwight L. Moody in evangeli'
cal work and adopts his methods.
The church going young women OF
Philadelphia are warmly supporting
this new temperance league, and it is
likely to secure large membership at
| the outset.

All SouIs, Hospital.

The good work done by All Souls
Hospital in this section Fof New
Jersey is referred to by the Bernards-
vile News as follows:
All Souls Hospital in Morristown
is an institution which has been of
much service to Bernards' Township
in the past year. Only a short time
since two patients from here were
taken there in one week, either of
whom the township would have been
compelled to care for had it not been
for that institution. The township
was thereby saved an expense of per-
haps not less than $780, We think
that it would be no more than right
tha6 the township should raise 500 a
year for the support of the hospital al
the spring election. 1t is worthy
institution. Let's help it along.

Red Mems Half Century.

The fiftieth anniversary of the or
ganization of the Great Council of
the Independent Order of Red Men in
New Jersey will be celebrated on Feb.
2S. in Trenton for the annual trans
action of business affecting the $4,000
members of the order in the State
The original charter shows that the
only tribes of Red Men existing in
New Jersey half century ago were
Arreseoli, Leni Lenap and Red Bird
Tribes, all located in South Jersey
and now extinct. Then the total
number of Red Men in the country
was about !, 800; now it is 260, 600, of
which New Jersey furnishes $4,000.
New Jeresy has the greatest num-
Der of Red Men, in proportion to
population, of all the commonwealths
in the country. There are 1888 tribes
in the State of which six have been
instituted during the last year. The
total increase in membership in New
Jersey during the year has been 1, 652.
The sum of $175, 600 has been distrib-
uted to members in sick and funeral
benefits, one tribe in alone in Camden
paying out $19, 600 in the last twelve
months.

MIR. Eaton's Last Recital.

The second and last recital given
by Frank Eaton at the home of Mrs.
Frank Marsh, So Hill street, Tuesday
afternoon was even greater success
than the first one. Miss Frances
Miller, soprano, who sang in "Ben
Hur" last year and who has also sung
with the Savage Opera Company
assisted Mr., Eaton. Owing to an
unfortunate accident to his hand,
Orton Bradley was unable to be pre-
sent, and W. F. Riesberg took his
place at the piano.
The program was filed with most
enjoyable numbers, all well adapted
to the peculiar qualities of both
Miss Miller's and Mr.. Eaton's voices.
An especially pleasing feature was
the rendering of several old English
songs by Mr.. Eaton, showed to ad
vantage the depth of both his voice
and expression.

LETTER CARRIERS CELEBRATE.
Uncle Sans Boys Attend State Con-
vention In Patterson.

The 1910 a. m. train pulled out oi
the station Lincoln's birthday with al
most the whole force of our local post
office employees, Postmaster Fennell,
Assistant Rowell, Money Order CLERK
Heath, Clerks Abel and Cory, all the
local carriers and about ten invited
guests. All were bound for Paterson
where the State convention of letter
carriers was to be held. They went
first to Newark, upon invitation of
the Newark carriers. The line of
march was down Broad street to
the Erie station, headed by the famous
Newark Letter Carriers Band The
Morristown carriers were distinguished
from the Newark carriers by their caps
and the new silk banner which they
carried for the first time. Of course
they were heartily cheered.
! Arriving in Paterson they were es-
corted to the postofice, where the line
of parade was formed. Morristown was
given one of the positions of honor, being
assigned to the front rank of the first
section. A very noticeable feature were
! the banners of welcome to the Morris
town carriers, which were exhibited
along the route; and it goes without say
ing that our home carriers appreciated
the honor, and marched like soldiers, ,up-
der command of Carrier Taylor One
feature which the carriers were proud
of were the elaborate decorations on the
house of the late Vice President Hobart
The usual routine business was trans.
acted at the convention, which was held
in the Y. M. GA. building. The report
i of State Treasurer Elmer of Paterson
showed a balance of almost 800. All
the old officers were reelected, as fol-
! lows:
President, James J Shea, Jersey City:
i first vice president, Gus Pierrez, Ho-
boken; second vice president, Nicholas
Flynn. Elizabeth; recording secretary.
Fred j. Schmidt, Bayonne; treasurer,
Peter Elmer, Jr., Paterson; financial
secretary, Charles A, Hunt, Passaic
sergeant-at-arms, P T. Sheridan, Eliza
beth. Executive Board; Fred G.. Stick
Ell, Newark; William Roe, Paterson;
Edward Hutchings, Morristown; Will
lam Stuckey, Passaic; j. Coleman, Jer-
sey City. Delegate-at-large to national
convention: John c. Bunton, Hoboken
The banquet, which was held in Apollo
Hall, was fine, and reflected great credit
on the carriers of Paterson. Plenty OF
good things for the "inner man." and
the very enjoyable entertainment pro-
vided by first class talent, sent the visi
tors away in very happy frame OF
mind, and with pleasant recollections
of the third annual convention of New
Jerseys letter carriers.
