Mr.. MILBANK'S
GIFT.
Ground Broken Yesterday
for the New Peoples
Palace.
IT WILL COST 100000
Rev. Join L. ccudders Tells
the Aims of the New Con-
stitutions.
IT WILL COST 100000

Ground was yesterday broken, at For
est street and Bergen avenue, for the
100000 Peoples Palace, which is to be
erected under the supervision of the Rev.
John L. Scudder through the generosity
of Mr. Joseph Milbank, a well-known
New York philanthropist. Mrs. Phoebe
Griffith, who has labored indefatigably
in the attempt to rear such an institu-
tion, and Mr.. Milbank, who has offered
to pay the expense of the whole enter
prise, were both present at the ceremon-
les attending the breaking Of ground
Mayor Pagan turned the first sod, and
made a short address. George L. Record
also made an address. Pastor Scudder,
after paying high tribute to the zeal and
generosity of Mr. Milbank and Mrs. Grif-
fifth. told of object of rearing such an in
stitution. Among other things he said:
SIN the great metropolis across the
Hudson Mr.. MilbanA has been conspicu-
Gus for his princely donations to educa-
tional and other, causes, and now, be1iev-
ing in expansion, he has ventured upon
Jersey soil, and will give this city an ex-
hibition of his wholesale beneyolence
Here he will erect an institution which
by reason of the location and altitude
will become a landmark visible alike
from Newark and New York, and by its
benefcent agencies will bless this COM
munity for generations to come. For
his magnanimity we are most sincerely
grateful. Here he will construct an inn
posing edifee, which will minister to the
social, intellectual, moral and industrial
needs of humanity, and in its operation
will endeayor to exemplify the brother
hood of man.
This institution will furnish advan-
tages seldom offered to the public under
one roof, and its doors will swing open
to all well behaved people, irrespective of
age, sex. creed or political affinity. This
mark you will not be club house for
the rich; neither will it be pauperizing
charity that deadens and degrades; it
will be what its title indicates Peo-
pies Palace-a popular resort where
self-respecting Americanism can feel
thoroughly at home and people in mod
crate circumstances can enjoy the priv
ileges it affords. It's various depart
ments will be adapted to men, women
and children. 1t will be a place where
our Wives and daughters may come and
share with us the pleasures and oppor-
tunities for self-improvement which this
institution will furnish.
In its armory and rifle range our youth
ful soldiers win take delight and learn
lessons of self-discipline, patriotssm and
manly bearing. It's capacious gymnasium

equipped with all modern appliances, viii
