mission on September Is.
Drew Theological Seminary is one
of the fruits of the Centenary Of Amer
lean MethOdism. which was commem-
GRATED in 1866. The grounds and build
ings are the gift of the late Mr.. Dan
iel Drew, of New York. 1t has been
endowed by the liberal offerings of it's
trustees and other friends throughout
the church. 1t was opened for students
in the year 1867, and has now about
one thousand graduates. Its sons are
to be found in all the conferences of
the church and in our foreign missions.
The late Rev. DR.. John McClintock
was the first president and organizer
of the course of instruction. From
the beginning the object of the studies
pursued has been to train young men
to be effective preachers of the Gospel,
and at the same time to fit them by
scholarly attainments for any service
which the church may require at their
hands. While theology in all it's
branches is carefully taught, the art of
preaching is assiduously cultivated.
The seat of the Seminary is at Mad
ison, this county, one Of the most pict-
uresque and healthful situations in the
United States. All the advantages
which the city can give student, and
all the advantages which country
home can afford him, are here secured.
The park of Drew Seminary contains
ninety-tiye acres of land, a portion of
which is ornamented with walks and
drives, trees and shrubbery The
surrounding region is noted for its
healthfulness and beautiful scenery.
On the northern side of the Seminary
park are the buildings They are Mead
Hall, Asbury Hall, Embury Hall, j. b.
Cornell Library Building, Hoyt-Boyne
Hall and the Administration Building
and Chapel.
The preparations for this years COM
mencement exercises are well under
way and the program will be an unu-
sually interesting one.

TAPKAow WINS DECIDING GAME
Captured the Last of the Series From
the Rockaway Whist Team.

Captured the Last of the Series From
the Rockaway Whist Team.
Last Friday evening the Tapkaow
whist team drove up to Rockaway
and visited their friends who are
more or less adept at that fascinat-
ing game and came home in the early
morning hours with their victorious
banner floating in the breeze.
The game was close at all the tables
but one and at that table the Rock
away players seemed to have been
more or less ratified, as they lost to
Morristown by score of 25 to4.
Professor Gerard and T. H. Hoag-
land, who are two of the best play
ers on the Rockaway team, were
pitted against Messrs. John Mills and
r. Lindabury, who had never before
played together, and won out by one
point. This seems small margin
but the superior playing of Mills and
Lindabury was SO evident that it is a
foregone conclusion that they would
have won from their opponents had
they had some practice in team work.
Taken altogether the game was a
very satisfactory one to the Morris
town team. After tile play the visit
ors were taken to Riggot's hotel and
were well taken care of. So well that
each individual member Of the team is
more than anxious to repeat the
visit.
The score by tables is as follows:

EMPLOYEE
AND EMPLOYER
Shoe Dealers Decide To Close
Their Stores at SIX Thirty
P. NJ. During May.
HACKMEN WANT HIGHER FARES

BARRIERS are Circulating Petition
Among Themselves to Raise the
Price of Sbaves and Hair cuts. They
are not Unanimous as to the Advis-
ability of Making the Raise. The
Painters And Carpenters are at Work
The shoe dealers of town held Sc
cret meeting Tuesday evening and de-
cided to close their places of business
each night at six-thirty o'clock at the
request of the Clerks Association
The meeting is said to have been an
extremely interesting one and much
was said in the way of expressing opin-
ions that was to the point After a
long discussion the shoe dealers de-
cided to close their establishments
evenings, except Saturday, at six-thir-
ty. This was to be but a temporary
arrangement and the agreement is in
effect only during the month of May.
1t is said that the move is but an ex-
pertinent to test the power of the
Clerks Association. If all the stores
close at the end of May at the same
hour, then the shoe dealers will make
their present action permanent, but if
all do not close then they intend to act
individually, each deciding for him
self as to when he will close his place
of business.
The clerks assert that before the
end of May they will have every bust
ness house in town agree to close at
six-thirty in the evening.
The spirit of unrest has penetrated
the tonsorial field and the boss BARRIERS
are now trying to raise the price of a
shave from ten to fifteen cents, and a
haircut from twenty to twenty-five
cents. This is being done by petition
to which all the BARRIERS have not yet
attached their signatures. There is
considerable difference of opinion in
the minds of the bosses as to the
adyisability of the step. The date set
for the raise is May Is, but at this
writing it is not known whether all
will agree to it or not
Next the hackmen came to public
notice. They are dissatisfied with the
rates of fare established by the common
council and are going to petition that
body to permit them to charge 25 cents
for the same drives for which they are
now permitted to charge but 15 cents,
and they will ask to be allowed to
charge IS cents for the town limits
drive. The hackmens' grievance is
also that the council has given so many
permits there is not work enough for
all-that it is impossible for them to
make living at the rate they are now
allowed to charge. They assert that
licenses have been given too freely and
believe that inasmuch as the public
has been protected in the matter of
charge, they should be protected in
number of licenses granted.
The carpenters and painters are now
at work, and the masons' helpers are
the only ones out.

OUARRELED
ABOUT STRIKE
And Thomas Jevils Shot and
Seriously Wounded George
Chain Of Rockaway
LATTER NOW IN THE HOSPITAL

Chain was Shot in the Chin but the
Bullet has not yet Been Found.
The Authorities at the Hospital say
That his Chances for Recovery are
but was Seen esterday in Montclair
George Chain, an employee OF the
Rockaway Steel and Iron Works, was
shot and seriously wounded in Rock
away last Tuesday night by Thomas
Jevins, ruffer in the steel works.
The two men had quarreled several
weeks ago over a strike among the en-
ployees of the works last December,
and it is said at that time Chain severe
ly threshed Jevins. AS the sympathy
was with Chain, the men would not
associate with Jeyins, and he found 1T
very hard to hold his position in the
works.
On Tuesday night both men were
assigned to the night shift At 9.2O
the first cast was made and all the
men sat down on benches to rest.
Jevins remained standing. In few
moments it is said he rushed over to
where Chain was sitting and drawing
a pistol from his hip pocket, said !:
sI'll fix you now" Then he fired
once. The bullet passed through
Chains mouth and lodged somewhere
near the drum of the right ear. The
wounded man fell to the ground, and
his companions gathered around him.
In the meantime JevinS escaped by
running to the woods. DIR. Foster, of
Rockaway, was summoned and after
an examination ordered the man to be
taken to All Souls Hospital in Nor
ristown.
A search was then made for Jevins,
but he was not to be found. Every
nook and corner in the Steel Works
was searched and all the closets and
room in his house were examined but
nothing was seen of him. Police in
the neighborihg towns were notified
to look out for him. Chain was brought
to the hospital that night.
At the hospital this morning it was
learned that the bullet had not yet
been located but it is expected there
that the patient viii recover.
Jevins is said to have been seen in
Montclair yesterday afterday afternoon
by persons who know him.

While the church bells were ringing
for evening service Sunday night an
alarm of fire was sounded from box Co..
The firemen were summoned to the
apartments occupied by Edward Con-
nors on the upper floor of John Nor
rison's house on Washington street.
His little daughter had pulled table
cover from the sitting-room table and
with it lighted lamp. The fire spread
rapidly and soon the entire room was
ablaze. Paul Levy, fireman, who
lives near the place, heard the Cry of
fire and running up to the room, threw
the burning table-spread and ignited
curtains out of the window and put
out the flames. In doing so he burned
his right hand. The fire had been ex-
tinguished by the time the firemen ar
rived. The loss will not exceed $50.
