Is that impossible for us? And If so,
is ii impossible for substantial reasons
or because of the bonds of routine?
Every town ore may almost say. no
matter how small, needs an art collec-
ton, local natural history museum,
local improvement society, a lyceum
or debating society. and other like ms
titutions say every community needs
these. l mean, that the work of es
tablishing and fostering things like
these is interesting. stimulating, cheer
ing and helpful IT is not the having
them but the getting them that is so
well worth while. Fortunate the IL
brary which has he room. the energy,
the ideas and the means to do a little
towards the acquisition by it's consi-
tuents of these good things. The IL
brary has for its birthright the privil-
eye of acting as foster-mother to those
artistic, commercial, historical and
literary associations which can do so
much to set free he cooperative spir-
it, the spirit of mutual helpfulness, the
spirit of organization in word the
spirit Of civilization.

Greatly Enjoyed.

Twenty-one sporting men, as the
guests Of William Hartmann and Fred
Burchell, of this city, and Frank
Hadkins, of Tottenville, sat down to
a dinner of venison in the Amboy
Hotel, last night. They certainly did
justice to the course.
A few days ago the friends of the
hunters were notified that when they
returned home last Sunday afternoon
they brought with them a big doe,
the weight of which was over 200
pounds, and that supper would be
given on a certain night. The doe
was safely stored away in the ice box
Of August Kroeger, Smith street,
until Wednesday afternoon, when it
was skinned and cut up.
Yesterday the chef at the Amboy
Hotel prepared the meal and last night
it was ready.
1t was just 9 O'Clock when the
guests seated themselves at the table,
and when they arose they were loud
in their praise for the hunters. The
deer which was partly eaten, last
night, was shot near Petersburg,
Virginia.

Joseph Gadek Succeeds in Get
ting License for His New
Place in State Street.
WAYS GETS RENEWAL.
License Over Which There was so Much
Dispute Some Time Ago is Granted
Was the Saloon Kept Under the Name
of Smith Which Carried Case to ST.
preme Court.

The Excise Commissioner met last
night. The license which caused sc
much trouble about month ago, was
renewed. The history of the license
begins at 81 Hall avenue, at John
Smiths saloon. Then application was
made for transfer to I'll State street.
Here the trouble began, the transfer
was not granted. Anton Ways. who
runs the place, continued to do bust
ness, however. The Mayor and Others
could not prevent him as the Supreme
Court had the matter of the legality
of the Excise Board in charge.
While the decision was pending the
license expired and Chief Burke had
the shop closed. Application for re.
newal was also held up, but last night
it was granted. The place will open
presently.
Six other renewals were granted.
Two transfers and one new license
we're also granted. Joseph Gadek. OF
State street, was the applicant for the
new one.
s. Scheuer's application, which
has beeh before the Board for about
eight months, was laid on the table.
Scheuer wants liquor license for his
store at Smith street and New Bruins
wick avenue. The Board took no
stand IN the saloon dance hall ques-
tion.

1hrOngS of People Attend and
Put in the Night at
Dancing.
FOR NEW SYNAGOGUE.
Music Was Excellent and Everybody Had a
Fine Time-Was Nearly 5 O'clock this
Morning When the Guests Departed
Two Marches we're Featnre-One
Dance for Everybody.

The Grand Central Palace could
hardly accommodate the throng which
attended the ball given by the First
Perth Amboy Hebrew Mutual Aid
Society last night. 1t was for a
worthy cause and it was fully appre-
ciated. The proceeds of this affair
goes towards the new temple which is
being erected on Madison avenue.
After few preliminary dances a
member march proceeded. The hall
presented a pretty scene when this
was in progress. Later in the evening
a ladies march took place, both
marches which were ably led by L.
Perelman.
This was the most enjoyable affair
yet held in that hall. There were so
many youngsters that few numbers
were especially played for them to
their great satisfaction.
A special feature of the evening
was dance called Kazatsky, in which
all on the floor take part, whether the
youth, or the grey beard, the women
and children jig and dance as they
please to the time of the music.
Dancing was indulged in till tht
floor manager gave the order to Prof
Steinhauser's orchestra to strike NJ
the tune of Home Sweet Home
when the clock WAS just striking
o o'clock.
Much credit is due to the floor man
ager, L. Perelman, and his assistant,
A. Cohen, for their ably managing
the floor. All kinds of refreshments
were obtainable, and early in the
morn after the dancing, all present
were invited to partake of the good
things which were left.
The First Perth Amboy Hebrew
Mutual Aid Society is affiliated with
the Congregation ShsareJ Tfllah. and
both bodies have zealously
worked hand in hand to make this
affair grand success financially and
otherwise. They are greatly pleased
