Young Mems Hebrew Association
Entertain Large Crowd in
Wilder Hall.
PRIZE FOR WALTERS.
An Interesting Feature Which Kept the
the Judges Busy for Some Time-Pro-
ceeds for Benifitl of Hospital and a
Large Amount was Realized Masquer-
ade Ball to Follow.

The benefit ball which was given
for the City Hospital last night at
Wilder Music Hall, under the auspices
of the Young Mems Hebrew Associa
tion, was entirely successful as far as
attendance was concerned. Ihe pro-
ceeds of this affair cannot yet be esti-
mated until the committee meets the
latter part of this week, but it is ex-
pected that handsome sum was real
ized
1t was great night and every min
ute was enjoyed. A decidedly select
crowd was there. A large delegation
of the Catholic Club was present. At
about 11.30 the prize waltz took place
and, rs this was the feature of the
evening, much interest was manifessi
by those participating as we'll MS by
those who looked on. It was closely
contested and the pretty dancing
couples presented a pleasing sight.
In the beginning the floor was
crowded with contesting couples, but
finally the judges dwindled 1t down
to the final efforts between Louis
Weinblatt and lady, and E. Shorter
and lady. At this stage the interest
of the audience was intense.
After short deliberation by the
judges they announced that the win
ming couple was E. Shorter and Miss
Larson.
The lady received gilded parlor
clock, and the gentleman, silver
toilet set of brush and comb.
Everyone pronounced the impartiality
and good Judgment of the judges who
were: John Donehue, Philip PETIT,
John Bergen and Walter Hurley.
The committee in charge, who have
worked hard to make this affair as 1t
was, are: D. Isenberg, chairman M.
Lichtman, H. Mendel. H. Marcus,
NJ. Belovsky, I. Blot, Philip Borko,
Phillip Petit.
The officers of the association con-
sists of Harry Mendel, president; D.
Isenberg, vice president, A. Marcus,
financial secretary; L. Blott. record
ing secretary; M. Lichtman, treasurer.
The reception committee was Philip
Petit, Harry Mendel and NJ Lichtman.
Dancing was kept mp till 2 o'clock
in the morning. Phillip PETIT was
floor director.
The association will have a mas.
querade ball in the near future.

FIRST BOOK TAKEN
FROM NEW LIBRARY.
Rev. DR.. H. G. Mendenha Has the Distinction of
Being the First--The Arrangement of the
Bnding-Everything is Complete for the
Children

Tho new library opened this morn
denhall was the first to enter. He
was accompanied by Edmund DEMON
seigle. DR.. Mendenhall has the dis
tinotion of being the first person to
draw book from the now building
The title is "Walks in New England"
by o. G. Whiting.
The children's room has been so
arranged that every book which they
may desire and is in the library, is in
that room. They will be the sole
occupants. The adults reading room
is just across the hall.
In the semiclrcular book room there
are eight stacks of books. About four
and one-half of these are filled. A
large number of books are out. They
will fill the racks.
Light is everywhere. The windows
are large and numerous. There are
twentyfour electric lights in both
reading rooms. Downstairs the read
ing room is not quite ready. Finish
ing touches are being put on the
lecture room. This contains small
stage and will seat about 100. the
workshop has all supplies for repair
ing. Back numbers of thirty -one
magazines are kept in rack.
Miss Mulligan, the librarian, is
completing the card catalogue. She
wishes particular attention directed
to this as it is great improvement
over the old book system which be-
came clogged whenever a new book
was entered. This system is modelled
after that employed in the Congress
ional library at Washington. 1t is
arranged like dictionary. In alpha
betical order are drawers containing
cards. On these cards are the titles
of books, subjects and the authors.
To obtain book it is only necessary
TO know one of these three things
One card has the name of the author
on top, another the title and another
the subject. Each tells the position
in the racks. Persons may take their
own books from the rack.

cupid IN EVIDENCE
IN THIS MARRIAGE.
South River Couple Spent Day in New York--Got
on Wrong Train to go Home--Arrived Here
Visited Cousin and at the Suggestion of a
Wedding Minister Was Called.

wedding with considerable of the
romance attached was performed at
the home of Spencer Dayton, 1868 State
street, by Rev. Percy R. FerrisT at
Z O'Clock last night. The bride and
groom were Miss Heneretta Hoffman
and DR.. Elwood R. Brown, both of
south River. An effort was made to
keep the wedding a secret, but the
doctor, who is prominent dentist in
South River, is too popular to allow
the couple to escape SO easily and by
the time they reached South Amboy
on their way home, they were met by
friends, who had come to meet them,
and were showered with rice.
DIR. Brown and Miss Hoffman had
been in New York yesterday and hao
started for South River, not having
the slightest intention of getting mar
ried before they arrived. Cupid
caused them to get on the wrong
train, and instead of landing in South
Amboy, they came in at the State.
street station here and could go nd
further. DR.. Brown, who is cousi
of Mr.. Dayton, decided to call uponl
thedatter. While there Mr.. Daytol
asked the doctor when he was r.
ito be married. He replied Set

why not tonight?" said Mr..

by, and the knes was tied fllea I'D
there.
The bride and groom took the 0. 90
train for South Amboy and thence by
trolley to South River, where a warm
reception awaited them. Someone,
on the inside, had telephoned to the
doctors home all about the affair
shortly after it happened.
An interesting coincidence is that
the doctor played an important part
in recent election at which the citi-
zens of South River decided to haver
electric lights in that town. The
doctor favored the lights. Last night
the lights were turned on for the first
time. OF course the town was illum-
mated to welcome DR.. Brown and his
wife.

One thing which IS included in Booker T.
Washington's educational scheme is a thing
which needs teaching neutrality-suspicious. in

poorly DONE says this practical negro; and
he teaches his pupils that in receiving money
for doing something they have not done they
guilty of a moral wrong. This Is a simple
thing surely!-but it is often uncomprehended
of a multitude.
1t is not cheerful task which Mr.. Washing
ton often sets himself in the teaching of people
full Of years and ignorance. He tells in
"Everybody's Magazine" a characteristic story:
I called an old negro farmer into my office
and explained to him in detail how he could
make $50 an acre on his land II he would plant
a portion of it in sweet potatoes; whereas If he
planted cotton, as he had been doing for years
at best he could make only SO AS

uate myself that / had converted at least one
man from the one-crop system to better meth
ods Finally, with what / fear was the air of
one who felt that he had won his case, / asked
the farmer what he going to cultivate on
his land the coming year The old fellow
scratched his head and said that, as he was
getting old and had been growing cotton all his
life he reckoned he would grow II TO the end
of his few remaining years. although he agreed
with me that he could double the product of his
land by planting sweet potatoes on IT.
