A Silly Performance.

n SHY
The rebellion of the student body at
Colby university appears to be one of
those boyish and very silly perform
ances into which students are some
times led by vanity and bumptious-
ness, says the Boston Herald. The
sophomore class had plentiful warning
of the consequences to its members
of persisting in plot, perhaps Gus
tomary plot, to interfere with some
festival of the freshman class.
Nevertheless, they did interfere,
and when the faculty proceeds to exc
cute the penalty of suspension, which
had been declared beforehand against
the guilty ones, the junior and senior
classes undertake to say it must not
he done, and if it is done they will
leave the institution.
We do not see how the governing
body can back down and respect itself,
or be respected by anybody else. If
these insurrectionary boys have par
ents who retain any authority over
the children for whose education they
have paid, that authority should sup
port the college authority.
If the college has a body of grad
yates who love it, they ought to exert
all their influence to support the
college authorities. Shall few OBJ
streperous youngsters who happen to
be now in college make the college
ridiculous?

Have just come in from looking over
my berry patch to see II ! could make a
picking to-day, and do not and as much
ripening fruit as did just one week ago,
although not a box OF berries has been
gathered by us.
Hardly berry could we Ind that had
not been picked into. At most conser-
vative estimate twenty five dollars worth
of fruit has been destroyed, and yet this
is scarcely beginning.

ST. Mary's Congregation Raised
Large Amount for the
New Church.
To PRINT THE NAMES
Slips VIII be Circulated Swing the
Amounts Collected by individuals and
the Sums Realized at the Different
Tables s-Dontributors to the Contest
Also Included.

After all the expenses of the fair
held by St. Mary's Catholic church
were paid, the amount cleared, in
cluding Rev. s. A. Mitchell's proceeds
from the contest is s5,S4l.25.
At all of the masses yesterday the
pastor, Rev. B. T. O'Connell, thanked
the workers of the church for their
untiring efforts. By next Sunday, it
is expected that printed slips with the
names of the ladies who worked for
the fair and the amount of money
they collected, also the amount that
each table cleared, will be distributed.
The members who contributed to the
contest, for which Rev. s. A. Mitchell
was trying, will also have their names
published.
The Ladies Building Aid Society
collected for the month just passed
$258, and the pastor said that while
this was considerably below the usual
standard, it was easily accounted for
by the fact that the fair was in pro-
gress all of the time.

Max Vogel received Judgment for
$40 against Mrs. Rezner in the Dis
trict court this morning. The case
was over cow the Hungarian woman
purchased from the Jewish seller
three weeks ago. She paid 500 down
and was to pay $50 more. The dis
pute was over the installments. She
says $5 per month. He says $40 a
week.
The woman introduced some testi-
mony of her own into the case. She
insisted on telling not Of the terms of
payment, but of the promises made by
the seller. She said the COW was no
good, as the animal, contrary to the
guarantee of Vogel to give eight
quarts of milk, produced but five.
The absence of the three other quarts,
she claims, is violation of the con-
tract. She insisted that the man was
responsible for the missing three
quarts per day in that the COW did not
live up to the promise Mr.. Vogel had
made.

Newark, against Samuel Polensky.

Roll for those
Respond Ruler Church


The most impressive services ever
conducted in public by a secret organ
ization in this city, were those held
in Simpson M. E. church yesterday
afternoon under the auspices of the
Perth Amboy Lodge, No 1884, Benevol-
ent and Protective Order of Elks. 1t
was their annual memorial service,
the first Sunday in December being
set aside by the order for calling the
roll of their departed members. There
are now about 400 lodges in the United
States and yesterday all were assem-
beld in their respective cities for the
same purpose.
The service here yesterday began at
8 O'Clock. Although admission was
by card only, at that hour the church
was filled. The tiers of seats on both
sides of the pulpit were all occupied
and double row of chairs filled both
main aisles. The pulpit looked beau
tlful with its mass of palms. The
display seemed to add to the solemnity
of the occasion. Exalted Ruler Dr.
Frank Crowther presided. In the
pulpit with him were Rev. DR.. H. g.
Mendenhall, of the Presbyterian
church, Rev. s. T. jackson, of SimD-
son M. E. church, and Edwin T.
Tallaferro, of New York, q member
I1r rryI, 1aatT hA
grafton.
The service began with an organ
selection by Miss Augusta Harrington,
"Christmas" By Detbier The quartet
of the High Street Presbyterian
church, Newark, Of which Miss Far
rington is organist, sang the "Te
Deum. B minor" by Buck. The open
ing service was by the Exalted Ruler
and the lodge. The secretary called
the roll of the dead. There was but
one, Robert Hartmann. The lodge
stood while the roll was called and
the members gave the sign of grief.
The opening ode was sung by the
lodge and audience after which a
violin solo, "Theme and Variations, I"
by Rheinberger, was played by Miss
Clara Harrington. Prayer was offered
by Dr.. MendenhaIl and Miss Anna
Mccormick sang q soprano solo, Il
Heard the Voice of Jesus Say by
Rathbun. Her voice was clear and
had a sweetness of tone which seemed
to move the audience.
Crossing the Bar" by Macy, was
sung by the quartet and violin solo
" Romance" by Svendesen, was rem
dered. Mr.. Tallaferro then delivered
one OF the most eloquent orations ever
heard in this city. He spoke slowly
and distinctly. He told of death as a
peaceful quiet rest and repose. He
told of the charitable deeds of Robert
Hartmann and brought tears to the
eyes of many. The work and the
object of the lodge of Elks was de-
scribed in an attractive manner.
Following the Grafton Mrs. A.
selden Walker, Of the quartet, sang a
beautiful soprano solo, Gave Maria"
by Gounod, and the quartet rendered
"Still, Still With Thee" by Foote.
The lodge and audience joined in
singing the doxology and the benedic-
tion was pronounced by Mr.. Jackson.
"Toccatta" by Widor, was rendered
on the organ as the people passed out.
Those in the quartet besides Mrs.
Walker were Mrs. Frederick Carlisle,
contralto. Roy F. Edwards. tenor,
George F. Overton, bass.
