EVERYBODY HAD FUN.
Catholic Club Picnic Was a
Family Party Political
Leaders Present.

The Greenvllle Schuetzen Park was
crowded all yesterday afternoon and un-
til late at right during the picnic and
summernight's festival of the Catholic
Club. 1t was one of the finest crowds
that ever had possession of the park and
was more like great big family picnic
than anything else. The preponderance
of well groomed young men and smarty
attired young women was noticeable, but
many older persons were present and en-
joyed the occasion to its fullest extent.
Many children attended the affair in the
afternoon and enjoyed numerous games.
Dancing. Of course. was the principal
feature of the evening and the big pavil-
ion was crowded with dancers all the
time. BY way of variety Mr.. Joseph
Rafter sang as vocal solos Sweetheart
Nine and other popular songs. The
innovation was greatly enjoyed.
The prospect of so many voters being
present drew nearly all the leading pros
pective political candidates and there
was much handshaking going on all the
evening The Rev Father f. NJ, O'Mal-
ley. president Of the club. graced the as
semblage with his presence and greatly
enjoyed the affair.

Clubs Standing.

The Skeeters had on their batting toy
for fair yesterday at West Side Park
After scoring a couple OF runs in the
opening inning with Toronto they took
a rest until the seventh inning when they
opened up on Currie with the score at a
tie and hammered him all over the field
for eight runs. 1t was one of the fercest
bombardments ever witnessed on an
Eastern League ground. 1t included
home runs, triples, doubles and singles.
Woods led off in the batting with a home
run drive over the fence. Vandergrift
singled, Thielman sacrificed. Clement Fit
for base and Bean did the same, seer
ing Vandergrift. Keister singled and sent
Clement home. With Bean and Kaister
on bases Cassidy initiating Woods sent
the ball over the left field fence and
scored a run. Halligan struck cut but
Pattee continued the fusflade by sendMg
the ball into Dillards territory for three
sacks. Woods drew a pass on his second
appearance at the bat and Vandegrift
followed with his second hit, dropping
the ball in deep centre for three sacks
and sending Pattee and Woods home
ahead of him. Thieiman went out at
first. Eight hits and eight runs were
the result of the strenuous inning. OPP
erations were resumed in the following
inning. After Clements had been put
out Bean hit for two bases. Keister sin

BASEBALL GROUND
Purchase by Robert Davis
Of Land on West Side
Avenue Raises Spec
alation.

Robert Davis, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Jersey City base
ball club of the Eastern League, has
purchased six thousand feet of land adj
jacent to the present baseball grounds at
West Side Park. and it is rumored that
the club is to have one of the finest base
bah fields of any club in the country.
The grounds upon which the club is now
playing has been bought by the Hudson
County Park Commission. Mr.. Davis
merely announces that he bought the
new tract for speculative purposes. He
paid $4,000 for the tract. The present
grounds used by the club are faulty.
Should the tract purchased by Mr.. Da-
Wis be converted into a baseball ground
the Jersey City team of the League win
have occasion to feel proud.

COMMUTERS KICK
Loud Protests Against New
York's Disregard of New
Jersey in Transportation
of Consumptives.

Organization is now the cry of the New
Jersey commuters of the Erie Railroad
who realize that no more effective means
can be devised to block the plan Of the
New York health authorities to ship
pauper eonsumptives through this State
to the municipal sanitarium to be es-
tablshed near Otisville, n Y. In almost
every town served by the Erie Railroad
organization has been mooted, and in
many plans are already actively on foot,
says the Newark DAILY Advertiser
The commuters are determined to leave
no stone untnned in the effort to protect
their families and themselves from the
danger which contact with tuberculosis
patients and exposure to the germs of
that dread disease would involve, From
every quarter the demand for action by
the State Board of Health becomes
stronger. and, that the demand may not
be 1nheeded. organization in every sec
tion is urged.
No clearer realization of the danger
which would attend the accomplishment
of New York city's avowed plan to ship
its pauper consumptives on the ferry
boats and care of the Erie Railroad
through this State to the municipal tu-
berculosis hospital to be established is
had by anyone than by some of those
officially charged with guarding the
health of the people OF New Jersey.
Those persons who have made scien-
tifc study of the disease and the means
of checking its spread know that it would
be difficult to devise more effective
means of disseminating the deadly germs
of the great white plague" among the
residents of New JERSEY than of subject
ing the thousands of Erie commuters to
contact with the patients from the
metropolis.
GeorgesW. MCGUIRE chief inspector of
foods and drugs for the State Board of
Health, is outspoken in his denunciation
of the scheme which the New York au-
thorities plan to put in action. DR.. John
F. Condor, president of the Befleville
Board of Health, is equally vigorous in
stamping the proposition as an outrage
upon the people of New Jersey.
A high State official, whose name
cannot now be used for obvious reasons,
said to-day
'Let the people whom this great dan
ger threatens show their temper By or
ganizing. There has been, | fear. "a dis
position in some quarters to take it for
granted that New York win not attempt
this thing. And, indeed, it seems almost
incredible thar such should be the case.
But whatever sentiment may be en-
tertained by some officials, there can be
no question that the people can settle il
themselves. Let them organize, make
their demands in an emphatic manner.
and the State Board Of Health cannot
disregard them.'

The Presidents Rapid Reading.

| have no record of the Presidents re-
cert reading, but it is not secret that
he is keeping up the pace" Some of my
friends are still reading at" Morely's
three thick volumes of Gladstone's
"Life." The President, of course, read
them promptly, gaining, l am told, not
only fresh, but much more favorable
view of the great leader, whom he con-
fessed he had hitherto failed to under
stand. A Publisher not long ago told
me that Mr.. Roosevelt seemed to have
his eye on the authors of their house,
and now and then private letter, full of
appreciation, would pass through the
publishers hands on the way to an au-
thor. In the thick of the campaign of

new book-a not very long dissertation

evening he entertained anumber ofguests

party at the White House, at which he
was present. At luncheon, the next day,
the giver said to him: "Mr. President, of
course you have not had time to look at
that book" ooh, yes, said the President;
II have read it." Whereupon he proved
that he had done so by his criticism Of the
work. One day, lately, book Of short

"Giving Carnegie Libraries" The differ

OF the total 1852 are given below:
The largest per cent OF the population
in any community served by a Carnegie
Library is the District of Columbia,
where the Washington building supplies
1874 per cent of the people with books.
The total number OF library buildings
built and promised by Mr.. Carnegie in
the United States is GIL. When all are
built they will serve 1879 per cent of the
whole population. They represent
total beneiaction of 500 807,98 This
includes the promise OF 100000 for a
building in Porto Rico. There are no

Outside the United States Mr.. Carnegie's
largest library benefactions have been in
England, where he has given and prom
ised $6,372, 24O. Two hundred and
eighty-three English towns have total
of325 libraries, or will have, when allpro-
vided for are erected, serving 20 per cent
OF the population.
The smallest Carnegie Library in the
world is on the historic Island OF Iona
just off the Scotch coast. 1t is less than

buildings in the Dominion.
Ireland has thirty-one towns with Car
