and number of the church and re-
vival workers. Many of those who

come with them from the church
went to the farther end of the bar
room and the service was opened

into the middle ofthe floor Those
who had come from the church and
others, who were handed some of the
several hymn books brought from
the church. joined in heartily.
The sound of the singing drew a
few more men from outside, and part
of the congregation" were leaning,
backs against the bar, others along
the side wall and others behind the
revivalists at the farther end of the
large room Those who came in af-
ter the service commenced filled the
space near the door.
Men Gathered Quickly.
Every few seconds the door would
open and one or two or three men
would come in Immediately upon
entering they doffed their hats and
kept them off, in entire respect.
After the singing, DR.. Elliott ask
ed the men to bow their heads and
requested that someone say pray
er. Rev. J. II. Northrup, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, did so, and
then an officer of the local Salvation

Kings Business" would be sung, and

NestOr Of the New Jersey Bar
Given Banquet in New York
Speaks on Graft.
Mr.. CHOATE'S PRAISE.

Jersey justice took night off last
night and in the persons of its ex-
ponents, the bench and bar of the
state, went to New York to do honor
to the Nestor of the bar of this Com
monwealth, Cortlandt Parker, of
Newark The occasion was to cele-
lrate the sixty-siXth anniversary of
Mr. Parkers admission to the bar, in
September, 1889. More than 800
members of the legal profession of
New Jersey were seated at the tables
in the Astor Gallery of the Waldorf
Astoria Some of them looked al
most as venerable as Mr.. Parker,
who acknowledges SS years, but does
not look it,
The dinner was something like a
public farewell to Mr.. Parker, chiefly
because he in his speech seemed to
regard it so. There were several
members of the New York bar pres
ent as guests, Joseph Fl. Choate, Will
lam b. Hornblower and John E. Par
sons being among them. Attorney
General Robert H. McCarter presid-
ed. When he introduced Mr.. Park
er, New jersey enthusiasm woke up.

have It, I'VE are all sinners" he
declared, only in different de-
gree" He declared that, If a per-
son sin in only one respect. he is a
sinner. Just as surely sinner, as one
who sins in several respects. He
gave, as an illustration, a chain, and
said that if one link be broken, the
chain is just as surely useless as
though all of the links were broken.
DR.. Elliott thanked the proprietor
of the place for allowing the service
TO be held there.
DR.. Elliott then said that Mr.. Ry-
kert would sing, and he sang "Jesus
is All in ALL" His singing was
strong, sweet and sincere.

and asked the men to bow their
heads in prayer

of many ministers in churches, he
would stand at the door and shake
hands with his congregation He
hurried over to the door and shook
every man by the hand as he passed

The barroom was almost, but not
entirely, empty after the congrega-

An echo of the late, political
campaign was the elegant six
O'Clock dinner last Saturday even
ing at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jno. A. Mcclure. 1t is a rather
interesting story and may be told
briefly. One day last fall Mrs.
Mcclure was entertaining num-
Der of ladies at dinner and the
coming election became the theme
Of conversation. Mrs. ]. +. Light
was the only lady present Of the re-
publican persuasion. Mr.. Mcclure
who was an ardent Parker sup
porter took hand in the discussion
and finally made a wager with Mrs.
Light that Parker would be elected,
it being agreed that the loser would
give dinner to the same company
Mrs. Light, of course, won. For
various reasons the dinner was
postponed from time to time till
last Saturday evening. The mem
bers Of the original party were
present and a few other friends. II
was most delightful occasion, the
host and hostess entertaining will
genuine Southern hospitality which
is characteristic OF them Uni que

and the menu was an elaborate
one. The guests were Messrs anC

Mrs. John Hart of near Tonieville

large hawk few days ago. She went

hawk on top of one Of her largest
chickens, with it's talons buried into
the chicken preparatory to carrying 1t

But the chicken was too large for
the hawk to carry away against it's
will, and it was not inclined to be a
party at the hawks dinner, with the
hawk master of ceremonies. Conse-
quently the hawk was unable to rise
from the ground with its victim, and
Mrs. Hart went to the chickens de-
fense. She first started to the house
for the gun, but the hawk suddenly
let go CT the chicken, which ran away,
