MANY 1ONs
WERE RECEIVED
FOR CITY HOSPITAL.
yesterday Donation Day and People Responded L6eTd
en- Attended the Stands CITY Hall Park oil the Afternoon
and we're Kept Weather Did not Prevent ice Cream
be;oo SokJ-- Had Better Success than Last Year.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Hospl-
tai Association are much pleased with
the results of Donation Day. 4ester-
day afternoon they received gifts for
the hospital and the citizens respond"
ed even more literally than last year
The park was decorated with American
flags and a few tables were scattered
about to serve ice cream. The wealth,
er was too cool for much of this,
however, and although all the ice
cream was sold, most of it was by the
quart and was taken home to be eaten.
A list has been prepared by the
secretary, Mrs. @. w. Sheath, of those
who contributed. This contains forty,
five names and will be published IN
the News tomorrow. Besides many
vegetables and canned goods, there
was $40. 90 in cash realized. This is
worry gratifying.
Since the Hospital Donation Day
has been made an annual event many
people have waited until that time to
make their gifts to the institution.
The fact that this is only the second
year and that the donations far ex-
ceeded the year previous, leads the
women to believe that next season
will be still better.

ALL PARTIES MAY
NOMINATE TICKET.
Under Section Al of the GeneI al
Election Act County Clerks
Must Provide Tickets.

Trenton, Sept. 25.-The Socialists,
Prohibltlonists and labor men Will be
able to nominate tickets as usual this
fall, even though they did come under
the operation of the new primary law.
At first sight it looked as if the new
primary law barred them out. The
new act affects only those parties that
polled five per cent of the total vote
or more. Only the Republican and
the Democratic parties come under
the head. Under section Al of the
General Election act, the Socialists,
labor men and PrOhibitionists may,
as heretofore, nominate their tickets,
and the county clerk must provide
them with ballots as usual.

BaptIstS Held Enthusiastic
Meeting Last Night,-Amusing
Experiences Told.
TO MEET A NOTE

At the dollar roll call held in the
Baptist CHAPEL, ON Fayette street, last
night, $97 IN cash was handed in and
with the promises and a little more
work during the next few DAYS it is
hoped to bring the amount up to 1925
which is the sum required to meet
one of the notes issued for repairs on
the church and which is due in a few
days.
Some of the testimonials given bv
the members who gave in their dol
lars were very interesting. One
woman went without a pair of gloves
for the month of September, another
made bread and sold it, another made
pickles and sold them, showing a
large variety of ways used to raise
the sums. The members wish to
thank those outside of the congrega-
tion who helped add TO the successful
evening.
On Sunday a special service of
thanksgiving and prayer will be held.

BRIDGE CONTINUES
TO WITHSTAND TEST.
Pile of Iron on MasOnwOrk has
Thus Far had no
Effect.

The work of placing the pig iron on
the foundation for the new Raritan
river drawbridge for the purpose OF
testing it, as told in the News yester-
day, continues today A noon abont
three hundred tons had been placed
on the foundation and it had not the
slightest effect
1t will take several days to get all
the iron on the masonwork and the
contractor will leave it on the founda-
tion for few days SO as to make the
test complete.
1t is not expected that the weight
will have any effect on the founda-
tion at all, for it is built in such a
way that it will easily hold that
amount, it is said. When the con-
tractor has finished using the iron ii
will be offered for sale TO local
factories.

STRIKE ON CHURCH.
Some Difficulty about Tools but
Men Finally Carried
Them Off.

The WORK on St. Mary's Roman
Catholic church is still tied up by the
masons strike. The masons are walt
ing for the trouble to be settled but 1t

an agreement.
This morning, according to some OF
the strikers, they were not allowed to
take away their tools on the ground
that they should pay for having them
repaired. The men claim that IL is
the contractor place to repal.F the
tools. They finally were allowed to
remove the tools. The .r.en say that
the difficulty will nct be settled until

put in nomination and it was then
whispered about that Mr.. Goldman

The chairman, Or. +. G. Henry,

A few citizens were present TO listen
to the proceedings, among them were
one or two democrats. The Repub-
licans are now ready for the campaign,
having nominated both county and
city candidates. The Democrats are
still quiet, but now that they know
what opposition they will have, it is
probable they will soon put their men
in the field.

loaded on cars, 400 bushels to a car,
it would fill 1850 cars. From this

the carrying capacity of these ships.
Each ship has five decks, giving
each five acres of. carrying surface.

Retirement of Judge Lyon.

1t is announced that Judge Lyon
has retired from the Board of Con-
troll and removes to San Jose, Cali
fornia, where his children reside.
The Judge has been a citizen of
Wisconsin since 1871 and has filled
many important public positions SO
creditably that his withdrawal now
is no ordinary occurrence. He has
been Judge of a Circuit Court,
Justice in the State Supreme Court
Chief justice during many years,
Member of the legis1ature-being
speaker of the Assembly-Colone.
of a volunteer regiment during the
Rebellion, and now retires from
the Presidency of the Board of Con
troll, in which he has performed the
unique service of codifying the laws
rules and practices of the Board
whose duty it is to regulate the en-
tire affairs of the state institutions
known as the Prisons, Insane Hospi
tails, ETC., etc.
In all these positions during these
many years, Judge Lyon has hello
the entire confidence of men ano
his varied activities have won hin
the title of faithful, intelligent pub
lie servant. All his acts hav'
brought credit to the state through
substantial progress of the man.

solemn evidence of the desperate
nature of the struggle which de-
manded the personal service of rep
resentatives from almost every
American family existing at that
time. 1t accounts, also, for the
supreme interest which the people
always take in the annual reunions
of the veterans, with some of whom
we are the most of us connected by
ties of family kinship. Those who
founded the society and still survive
have become venerable men, whose
whitening locks bear witness to
their approaching end. Many years
hence there will doubtless remain
some Struggling remnants of that
mighty host, who, with feeble steps,
will wend their way to the appoint
ed rendezvous once more to meet
their old comrades in arms and re-
new their vows of fraternity, char
ity and loyalty, but it is probable
that no subsequent gathering of the
Grand Army will equal in numbers
that which convenes at San Fran
cisco this year.

Two words of precisely the same
meaning are rare in English, not
withstanding the fact that the Ian
guage is. the most profuse of any in
existence. When words of Latin
origin began to be incorporated into
the language many of them had a
meaning similar to those in use of
Saxon origin, but with the advance
of language these have been differ
entiated in meaning or use until it
has become exceedingly difficult to
find any two words that are not dis
tinct from each other in some point
or in some respect.

In view of the courtesies in evil
dence at Kiel, Portsmouth and Lon
don, between Germany, England,
France and the United States it
must be a chronic dyspeptic who
does not believe the world grows
better. Nothing but the most flat
tering expressions of cordial kind
ness were uttered by the representa-
tives of these nations on these recent
occasions. And he who would init
mate that these expressions were not
sincere is reading his own uncharit-
able heart. Kindness and love are
becoming more and more potent in
the world.

The Supreme Court decides that
the last inheritance tax law of Min
nesota, passed at the special session
of the legislature in 1902, is uncon-
stitutional. Wisconsin had an in
heritance law, passed four years ago,
that the courts sat down on, and the
last legislature passed another with
the defects Of the former eliminated.
This new law will probably be sub
ject to the scrutiny of the courts
when an attempt is made to enforce
it. The principle of an inheritance
tax law is all right.

The steel trust, one of the highest
capitalized industrial combinations
in the world, is showing the way
for many developments of modern
industry by its methods made posi-
bic by its ability. Every workman
in the plants may become stock
holder in it and so share in its own
ership and its profits. He may also
rise to any position in it even to be-
coming its head. We believe the
president of this company receives
more than twice the salary paid the
president of the United States.

The credit Of the United States is
better than that of any other coun-
try as may be seen by the market
value of its bonds. Its per cent

at lower price than the United
