out parks in various municipalities of
the country.
After the Commissioners purchase the
various sites, Messrs. Langton and Low

topographic maps of them. After an in

CARNEGIE'S GIFT
Holy Trinity E. L. to Receive
$4,000 Towards It's /
New Organ --Tempora
Mutantur.

The Rev. Eugene Neudewitz of the
Holy Trinity English Lutheran Church
has received letter from Andrew f..
Carnegie expressing his willingness to
contribute $500 toward the payment
for the new $1,000 organ recently
put in his church provided the congre-
CATION raised the other $500. Mr.. Car
negie. in his letter, said he would send
his check as soon as the condition was
complied with. OF course the congrega-
ton will raise the amount specified.
Trinity English Lutheran Church recalls
an interesting bit of history of the
church building. 1t was erected by the
late millionaire George r. Mckenzie
and presented to the Scotch Presbyterian
congregation. One of the conditions of
the gift stipulated that no organ or or
chestral music was to be used in con-
nection with the services. The Scotch
Presbyterian Church decade and half
years ago was one of the most flourish
ing Protestant church bodies in the city.
AS congregation it is no more. Mr.
Mckenzie was Scotchman. So is Mr..
Carne gle.
The Holy Trinity English Lutheran
Church, which as a congregation wor-
shipped first in the old Salvation Army
chapel at Grove and Montgomery streets
and later in the big dwelling formerly oc-
cupied by the McAnerny family at Bar
row and Montgomery streets, Is now m
stalled in the church building abandoned
by the Scotch Presbyterian Church and
is rapidly growing.

URGING EQUAL TAXATION.

Mayor Pagan this morning left the
city to visit Newark, Paterson, Passaic,
the Oranges and Elizabeth to urge the
Mayors of those municipalities to sap
port the Equal Taxation bill now before
the Legislature, designed to prevent rail-
road companies from acquiring addition
al property in cities and towns of the
State and having such property classified
the same as that upon which the com
panies pay only nominal State tax.
The purchase of the Hoboken ferries
by the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company, which will
take that immense property out of Ho-
boken's ratables, has caused concern in
that city.

they ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
gested--Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the condi-
ton of the stomach, is not digested, is
worse than no food at all. This is true
statement as far as it goes and great
many dyspeptics go only this far with
their reasoning. They argue with them
selves that because their stomach do not
do the work given them they must be Civ
en- less work in other words they must
be starved. 1t would be just as sensible
for business man who is unable to do
all his own work to cut down his bust
ness to his ewn capacity as it is for a
man to starve himself to relieve his stom-
ach. The sensible business man employs
help and goes forward with his business.
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will en-
ploy help for his stomach and give his
body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned to them. They relieve
weak and overburdened stomaehs of a
great portion of digestive action. Their
component parts are identical with those
of the digestive fluids and secretions of
the stomach and they simply take up the
grind and carry on the work just the
same as good, strong, healthy stomach
would do it.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their ac-
ton and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or bowels. They themselves
digest the food and supply the system
with all the nourishment contained in
what is eaten and carry out Natures
plans for the sustenance and mainten-
ance of the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many suf-
erers from weak stomachs. BY this means
body and brain get all the good, nutri-
tious food they need and the man is
properly nourished and equipped to carry
on his work and perform his duties. He
could not possibly be in proper working
condition by starving himself or employ
ing some new tangled, insufficient food
that does not contain enough nutri-
ment for year-old baby. A strong man
doing strong work must be propely fed
and this applies to the brain as well as
the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by reliev-
ing the stomach of its work, enable it to
recuperate and regain its normal health
and strength. Nature repairs the worn
and wasted tissues just as she heals and
knits the bone of broken limb, which is,
of course, not used during the process of
repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at so cents a box and
they are the one article that the druggist
does not try TO sell something in the
place Of that's ''just as good Their
unqualified merit and success and the
universal demand for them has placed
them within the reach Of every one.

TRENTON, Feb. 24, 1904.-Governor
Murphy yesterday transmitted to the
Senate and House a copy of the report
of the commission appointed last year
to investigate the necessity for and the
advisability of establishing and main
tanning a reformatory for women.
The commission recommends the estab-
lishment of such a refol1natory on the
cottage plan and advises the purchase of
about $50 acres of farming land in a
location easily accessible to the larger
cities of the State and to erect five brick
cottages.
1t further recommends that the re-
formatory be managed exclusively by
women after the manner of similar in
stitutions in Massachusetts and New
York.
The estimated cost for the accommo-
dation of $50 women is put at $14S,O0O,
including 100000 for the five cottages,
$4,000 for a superintendent home, ST.
500 for the farming land, $1,500 for a
farmers home $4,000 for stables. $4,000
for sewerage, $4,000 for furnishings
and equipment, and $4,000 for contin-
gent expenses.
Each cottage would accommodate
from twenty-five to thirty women and
the annual cost of maintaining the insti-
tuition, filed to its capacity, is estimated
at $240 per head, or $4,000.
The commission asks for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 and recommends the
amendment of the existing laws so as
to Immediately commence the commit
ment of women prisoners to the proposed
institution, except those whose sentence
shall be for more than FIVE years. The
commission says it has no bill of ex-
pense to present. S

FOR U. S. CAMP
Representative Lanning
Urges the Securing Of a
Site in Somerset
County.
Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News. 4


WASHINGTON, Feb. "a, 1904
Constituents of Representative Lanning
living in Somerset County think the Fed
eral Government should purchase a tract
of land in Franklin Township for a gov
ernment reservation to be used for
manoeuyres by the regular army. At
their request Mr.. Lanning has intro
duced bill making an appropriation of
100000 for the purchase of 10000
acres Of land in Somerset County. The
bill has been referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs, of which Representa-
tive Parker is a member.
The idea of the New Jersey people is
that there is no better site in the East
than that in Franklin Township, which
is largely made up of deserted farms.
There are ample railroad accommoda-
tions, and the Delaware and Raritan
Canal could be used for the transporta-
ton Of supplies.
PENNSYLVANIA has put in strong bid
for the site, several locations having been
suggested. One of the sites is in Cone
WACO Valley, and it is said that the
coal carrying roads are desirous that this
should be selected because of its proxim-
ity to the anthracite coal fields, the idea
being that the troops could be used to
awe the miners.
