GRACE M. {. FAIR
Charming Ladies and Beau
/ tiful Booths Make the
Bazaar Very At
tracti We.

One of the prettiest church events
given this fall was the fair of the Grace
NJ. E. Church, which opened last night in
the Columbia Building and Loan Hall,
on Tonnele avenue, under the auspices
of the Ladies' Aid Society. The hall
and booths were prettily decorated in
bright colors. From the ceiling hung
festoons of Japanese lanterns and eyer
green's and flowers were in scattered pro-
fusion about the hail. The booths We're
arranged on both sides of the hall and at
the far end was the supper room. The
The ladies in attendance wore pretty
white gowns. The people swarmed
around and generously patronized the
booths At many of the tables plenty
of suitable Christmas presents were ar
tistically arranged.
There were no chances, grab bags,
wheels of fortune, or prizes of any de-
scription, as the pastor, the Rev. +. j..
Andrew, is opposed to this form OF
making money in church.
The main feature of the fair was the
sweetmeat booth, where delicious home
made candy could be purchased at reas-
enable prices Miss Florence Autenreith
and Miss May Cooke were in charge.
This booth seemed to be magnet for
the young mn
1t was prettily decorated in blue and
white and tee various dishes Of candy
neatly displayed was too great tempta-
ton for the visitor AMI the ladies We're
kept busy weighing out sweets all even
ing
Miss Anna Autenreith, Miss Gray, Miss
Robinson and Miss Campbelle, who at
tended the toy and book booth, proved
most facinating salesladies, and many a
susceptible young man went home with
book or toy under his arm for which
he had no use.
The cash grocery counter did an ex-
cellent business under the anagement
of Mrs. Sidman and her daughter.
The fancy booth was attended by Mrs.
jackson, Mrs. Erwin and Mrs. Arm
strong. who displayed to the best adyan-
tage the many handsome and useful ar
ticles they had to SELL
The dry goods table was IN charge OF
Mrs. Briggs, Mrs. Andrew and Mrs.
Coyle.
Last but not least was the supper room
where the inner man can be satisfied
with the kind Of coffee, cake and sand
wiches mother makes" Those who
serve the refreshments are Mrs. Brown,
Mrs. Heffner, Mrs. Western and Mrs.
Autenreith.
The Rev. Mr.. J. r. Andrew, the pas
tor, was pleased with the attendance last
night.
Mrs. Coyle, the president of the soci-
ETY. and those in charge have decided to
continue the fair Saturday afternoon and
evening because of the rain last night,
which somewhat interfered with the at
tendance. The fair will be open this
afternoon and evening and win be
brought to a close tomorrow night.

BARBER BEARDED

ROW IN ITALIAN SECRET ORDER

Frank Amatucci, well known barber
of Grand street, is now in the Hudson
county Jail wondering why Uncle Sam
disapproved of his sending postcards to
his enemy, Salvatore Amatetti prosper
Gus fruit merchant of Newark. United
States Commissioner LILY Rowe sent
him there on the accus lion of Amatetti.
Both men belong to secret Italian
order known as the illuminate. At one
of the meetings of the order, it is said
on good authority, the fruit merchant ac-
cused the barber of betra ying tire Sc
crets of the society, the penalty Of which
is death. Amatucci swore by all the
bones Of his ancestors, wherever they
are, and by all the peanuts on his
rivals stands, that he would be re-
venged.
Per Bacco maccaroni Ia spaghetti" :"
he hissed, and to emphasize this terrible
oath he brandished a stiletto in ANA

COUNTY CHEST
IS EMPTY
So Collector Egan Cannot
Pay Warrants That
Are Due.
TOWNSHIPS TO BLAME
Freeholders Provide for Tid-
ing Over the Difnculty
Until Taxes CONS In.
TOWNSHIPS TO BLAME

Because of the backwardness of Bay
onne, North Bergen and Harrison in pay
ing last years county taxes, and be-
cause neither of these three nor any Of
the other municipalities have as yet be-
gun to pay this years taxes, the county
treasury is depleted and warrants for
money due cannot be paid by Collector
Stephen NJ Egan.
Bayonne still owes the county $4,000
on last years account; North Bergen is
behind $S,SOS.S4 for the same period,
while Harrison must made good $9,5TS .95
before her accounts for the fiscal year
1901'02 is wiped out. All of the other
municipalities have settled up in full last
year.
IN PREVIOUS YEARS.
In previous years the County Collector
has always had some fund available with
which he could tide over the claims ac-
cumulating at the commencement of a
new fiscal year, but this year the only
such fund that could be used was the
$4,000 received from the sale of the
bonds for the Improvement of the eastern
section of the Paterson Plank Road, but
the delay Of Bayonne, North Bergen and
Harrison in paying up last years bills
compelled the use of that money to make
good the last of the claims for the
fiscal year that ended November so last.
This somewhat embarrassing situation
for the county's creditors will be relieved

A BANK RUMoR.
c. W. Morse Said TO Be After Gardiner and
Augusta Institutions.

Gardiner, Me, Jan. 14.-Business cir
cles of this city for the past few days
has been agitated over the report that
Charles w. Morse, the ice King. was
buying large blocks of the stock of the
national banks here. Investigation
showed that all of the national bank
stock owned by the Gardiner Savings
Institution had been bought in lum
sum by Mr.. Morse. This included, not
only stock ir our national banks here,
but also banks in Augusta and other
sections of our State.
In the election of directors. today in
the three national banks there was sew
eral changes and additions which may
indicate quite a revolution in the flu
ture. 1t Is probably that all three banks
will be united leaving but one national
bank in the city, and that controlled by
Mr.. Morse. Among the directors elect
ed, today, was, c. w. Morse, J. T.
Morse and z. D. Haley.

57TH CONGRESS.
Senator Hoar Brings Up the
Philippine Question.
Opening Of Soldiers Homes Again
Advocated in the House.
Our Representatives Chosen 10 Attend King
Edwards Coronation.

Washington, Jan. 14.-The philippine
question was touched on in the Senat:.
j jday, for the first time. The interest
taken in the subject indicates that il
will occupy the attention of the upper
branch of Congress for some time when
the tariff bill! is reported. The Philip
pines vera the subject of an address Y :
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts,, who spoke
on his resolution introduced, yesterday
providing for the appointment of a
Senate committee to investigate the adj
ministration of those islands. Mr..
HOar spoke at some length relative to
the unreliability of statements which
have been made from time to time, re-
garding the situation in the Philippines
and the causes which led to the out
break. He urged that there should be
d place where any senator in his official
capacity could go and ask for two wit
nesses to prove the correctness or in
correctness of any question upon which
light is desired
Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Hoar's colleague, said
that he regarded the resolution as a
REFLECTION on the Philippine commission
of which he was chairman and the
necessity for the latter would cease
We're this resolution to be adopted. His
committee. he said was perfectly able
to handle any investigation which
might be conducted. Mr.. Carmack,
Dem, agreed with him. The discussion
was rapidly leading up to an opening
up of the whole Philippine question
when it was agreed that the resolution
should go over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Mason of Illinois, made speech
in favor of reciprocity with Cuba and
discussed the protective policy gener-
ally.
When the Senate met, concurrent
provision was passed appointing a
joint committee of Congress to con-
slider the question of a site for hall
Of records to be erected in Washing
ton.
A resolution offered by Harris was
also passed directing the attorney gen.
eial to inform the Senate as to what
steps had been taken to secure the pay
ment of interest still due the United
States on account Of the subsidy debt
Of the Kansas division of the Union
Pacific Railway Co.
Hoar called up MS resolution ofIefed.
yesterday, providing for an investiga-
ticn of the conduct of the Philippine
campaign, etc. and after explaining
that the purpose of the resolution was
not to interfere with the work of the
Philippine committee he averred that
We ought to have some reliable infor-
nation regarding the war in the Phil
ippines. which he characterized as a
painful controversy" During the
Civil War he said. there was a COM
mittee which reported, upon their re-
sponsibility the facts which We're need
ed for the Senate and for the country.
There are many things about which the
public has been in doubt. as. for in
stance, the statement appearing in the
public press and twice made in the
Senate that Aguinaldo had sold out his
