Boys CLUBS GIVE A
PLEASANT SOCIAL
Y. M. CA. Boys Decide to Go to
Mountains This
frj !. ,,,. Summer.

A delightful social was given In tho
Central Y. NJ. G. a. boys room last
night by the Boys Bible Study Club, the
Sunday Afternoon Club and the gymna-
ehuln and night school boys. The boys
were pleasantly entertained with Erapho-
phone music and by several piano selec-
tions by Miss NJ G,een.N Mr., O. A..
Hawlhns, president Of the board OF dl-
rectors made an interesting talk to tho
boys, and was received with marked at
tentlon. The Davidson brothers rendered
several fne selections on mandolin and
guitar, and Mr.. William r. Walker AMI
Mr.. S. X. Mckee, general secretary, told
stories and related anecdotes for the
amusement and deectation Of the mems
bers of the clubs. fS
The boys were asked IN congress where
they would like to so on their camping
trip this summcr--to the mountains or
the seasllore. 1t was decided BY uhani-.
nous consent that they would prefer
going to the mountains. And It was de-
termlned that the money, amounting to
$50 or $40, raised by the moonlight excur-
sion recently given under the auspices OF
the Women's Committee and donated to
the Boys Bible Study Club, would be
used for the purpose Of purchasing an
Edison phonogrnph. After the enter
tainment features Of the programme,
box Of KISSES" was opened. and the boys
enjoyed them more. perhaps, than they
would have delighted In the real kind.
The basketball game was p postponed,
owing to the late hour. until next Friday
night.
The Boys Bible Study Club will meet
in the boys room at 9:45 clock this
morning, boys between tho ages of ten
and fifteen being invited to be present.

CLOSING OF BARS.
Ordinance Committee Discusses
the Subject.

The discussion9of tho ordinance to close
the saloons during certain hours OF the
night, was the most interesting feature
Of the meeting Of the Committee on
Charter, Ordinance and Reform last
night.
The ordinance, which is really an
amendment to the city ordinance requir-
ing the saloons to close on Sunday. pro-
voked quite a little argument pro and
con, and there were a few good-natdred
spa ts between the members Of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Umlauf favored the closing
Of the saloons every night at II o'clock,
and opening, again at s in the morning.
He, however. accepted the amendment to
have the close at midnight and open at
6 In the morning. Mr., Umlauf stated
that he had conferred with various sa'
loonkeepers regarding the matter, and
that they were all In favor Of the pros
posed ordinance. CT
Mr.. Lynch made a motion to hold tho
ordinance over It'll the next meeting Of
the committee, and stated that he was
opposed to the closing Of the saloons dur
ing the hours In question. lie declared
that the Police were holding the bars IN
subjection and that he was in favor OF
leaving things as they were.
Mr.. Umlauf, in reply to a statement
that the bar-keepers ought to be in
yited to appear before the committee be-
fore the ordinance was 7~ssed upon,
said that at meeting some time ago
OF the committee, they had been heard
from, and that Chief Werner had favored
the proposed law. The chief, however,
stated at that time that ~ thought 1t
was advisable to wait until the crusade
against the fake clubs had been. con-
Guided, and then to take action In the
matter.
AS finally adopted, the ordinance was
nut In the hands of A.. sub commlttec
of three to be returned to the committee
for approval The members of the conI-
mittee are Messrs. John B. Miner, Green
and Davis.
An ordinance requiring the owners OF
condemned food stuffs to pay the cost
of removal to the crematory was sent on
to the health committee for rccommenda-.
ton. An ordinance requiring all street
railway companies to sprinkle the streets
on which their tracks arc laid. was re-
! commended to the council for adoption.
| 1t finally passed before that body. The
! companies will have to sprinkle the
| streets every day during the months from
| March to December inclusive. and on
such days during January, February and
March MS may be designated BY the city
engineer,

Now the burning question Is az to the

Ing the water IN abundance and having
some other facilities It cam. be figured

HAVE BIG DAY.
Pine Street Sunday School Plan
ming to Have Exercises.

'ts lllllS " Lave 11hS1 SlSO0s ~ II
Another big day at Pine Street Sunday
school tomorrow has been planned. This
school has been constantly breaking all
past records Of any Sunday school In
the South, and tomorrow arrangements
have been made to do even greater things
than ever before. Two weeks ago, May
9Th, the attendance at the school was
1.Ol7, and last Sunday there were 1908
present. Tomorrow will be children's
day at Pine Street School and the officers
are planning to have at least 1,050 present.
The largest attendance this school has
ever reported was on October 22d, 1905,
when j ,O39 were In the school, not In
Guiding visitors.
The school opens earlier than any other
Sunday school In the city, and to-mor-
row morning at 0 clock the programme
consisting Of various pieces of music and
recitations by the children will begin.
There are between two and three hum
bred children on the programme and some
Of the pieces are written especially for
this occasion and promise to be very
interesting. A remarkable feature about
this school Is that for the last three sun
days the infant department has broken rs
past record. which means that for three
Sundays IN succession the infant de-
partment has reported more present than
1t has ever had on any previous occa-
sion. Each member Of the school has been
requested to bring flowers tomorrow,
and after the exercises the flowers will
be semitic the State prison Al
Another feature IS for each member
of the school to bring a penny for each
year of his age. this collection Will go
to the Sunday School and Bible Board
for organizing schools in destitute parts
Of the State.
