The Easter crowd at Asbury Park reach-

tionists coming down in large numbers
nearly swamped the winter hostelries and
the summer boarding houses which have
already opened. A pouring rain storm
on Sunday nearly blighted all hopes Of
happiness in the early morning, but prov.
ed only a preparation for an afternoon
so fresh and bslmy as to bring almost
the entire population of the city out up-
on the boardwalk very gladstone in itg

An open air band concert from a stand
erected near the foot of the fishing pier
served as a rendezvous for the stroilers.
and the plaza at this part of the beach
was as crowded as though the summer
season had already been well advanced,
Music was furnished by the Royal Cadet
Band. of Naples, but it was somewhat of
a disappointment. Arthur Pryor has
been engaged for another season, how
ever. so the bonifaces are not bothering
themselves over one days mishap.
The veterans in the hotel business pre-
dict a record breaking summer in that
for which they are now ali busily prepar-
ing. Last season was much the best
they ever had. and each realizes its
marked success was but the natural re-
suit of the careful preparation of the
years previous. The beach and board

TO REVISE U. S. LAWS

WASHINGTON, April II, 19O6.-Tn
addition to the number of important bills
and appropriation measures still to be
acted upon Congress is to undertake this
year the passing of what is probably A'e
greatest volume Of laws ever enacted by
any legislative body at a single session.
This big task is to be the revision Of all
the federal statutes. The last revision
Of the statutes was in 1878. Nine laws
have been passed since then that Rad
been enacted from the adoption of the
Constitution to that time. 1t is to sim
plify the chaotic mass of existing stat
utes of federal law that the new revision

at the job Of revision and codifcation for
eight years.

TO Dine THE GOVERNOR

Special to 1.-THE Jersey City News,
TRENTON, April II, 19o6.--A COM
plimentary dinner will be given to Gov
ernor Stokes at the Union Club in New
York city this evening by the New Jersey
Senate Senator Minch, of Cumberland
County, is responsible for the dinner and
he is being assisted in the work of ar
rangements by Senators Minturn, Hud-
son, and HiIaery, Morris County.
The dinner will have much political
significance, because Governor Stokes
will make speech and it is thought
that he will tell of his hopes and fears
for the coming years. 1t is known
that the Governor is highly pleased by
the enactment into law of every one of
his message suggestions. and his COM
ing speech at this dinner viii be the chief
executives first public utterance on the
work OF the Legislature since adjourn
ment.
When the c0mmlttee OF Doth H0uses
waited on him to find out If he had any
more business for Them before adjourn
ment, the Governor commented briefly on
the spirit Of the Legislature, but declined
to deal with the substance Therefore the
dinner speech of the chief executive to-
night at the Union Club, will be of great
political Importance Not perhaps Of af-
fecting future legislation, but as affecting
the fortunes Of the Republican party in
the State of New Jersey, with its reform
ers in two counties trying to create un-
rest in the other nineteen counties.

Members and Friends Of
Four Circles Unite In One
Gigantic Entertainment
ELKS' HALL WAS CROWDED
EVERY CHARACTER SEEN IN A
RURAL COMMUNITY FIGURED
IN LAST NIGHTS PAGEANT
AND LENT REALISM TO THE
SCENE.

Notwithstanding the fact that the po-
lice show was the main attraction in Jer-
sey City last night and that many Easter
Monday nights church entertainments
We're in progress, Elks' Hall was crowded
almost to suffocatien by members and
friends of the local Companions of the
Forest of America. An old-time barn
dance was held under the auspices of the
following circles: Pride of New Jersey,
No. SO; Rising Star, No. 81; Enterprise,
No. 200; Congress, No. 291; Pride of Ast-
ley, No. 71S. Many handsome matrons
with pretty daughters, swarthy farmer
husbands and sons participated, and the
scene was one not only of nlerryma king.
but, thanks to the skillfui arrangements
by the committee in charge, was really
one of interest from the picturesque
standpoint. 1t was the scene of a barn
yard and the interior of barn. But
Elks' Hall is no barn and the dancing
floor with. the handsome embellishments
of the interior walls detracted consider
ably from realism But what difference
did that make? There were any number
of pretty milkmaids and other farmers
ilassies, who jauntily danced with their
country beaux, and the old farmers and
their gray-haired spouses Joined in the
sport and showed the young 'uns that
they hadn't forgotten a thing or two
about spielin' The teown constable was
there in all the resplendent glory of<his
tin shield that was not even eclipsed by
the flaring hue Of the red necktie of the
village fop. All characters that make
up the general population of rural
community were represented. But the
artistic instincts of the matrons in charge
was demonstrated during the grand
march This was led by Supreme Treas
urer Miss Mary Walsh, Chairman Mrs.
Plant, Secretaries Mrs. Mary Toomey
and Mrs. K. Draughtigan. The Pride
of New Jersey represented ladies of tho
village. Rising Star represented milk
maids and poppy gatherers. Enterprise
Circle represented liberty girls, Congress
Circle Companions of the Forest and
Pride Of Ashley represented nurses.
There was any amount of excitement
over a number of prizes that were drawn
for. Most of the prizes were pairs Of
fowl. The door prize of So gold piece
was won by the holder of coupon No.
1905. and was not called for last night.

activity. His foreign minister, says
a writer in Leslie's Weekly, asked
him to sign decree, for enlarging the
force of the foreign office. The king
promised to think the matter over.
The next morning he set out on foot
alone to visit the office. Arriving at
nine o'clock, he found no one there
but solitary idle clerk.
What are the hours of this office?"
asked the king.
From eight till twelve" was the
reply
"And when may expect to see
your colleagues?"
"They generally turn up about
eleven"
''Very well. Tell your chief when
he comes that I have been here"
Then his majesty sent for the min
lister, and suggested that instead of
asking for more clerks he should make
it his business to see that those al
ready employed did their duty.

How Sharks Detect carrlon.

1t is a curious thing, and, so far as
present knowledge goes, quite mex
plicable, how a shark seems to have
an unerring perception of the pres
ence of carrion. By virtue of what
sense does he know that at distance
of perhaps a couple of miles there is
food to be had for the picking up? 1t
can hardly be sight, and to say that
it is the sense of smell presupposes
an olfactory apparatus of such mar
velous delicacy that one good whim
from an average "harness-cask" would
surely burst the machinery for good
and all; and yet our shark will bolt
a goodly lump of the gamiest salt
pork without so much as a wink. NO
it cannot be his nose which leads him.
Now theory has been put forward
by naturalists that the shark pos
sesses, in common with the Andes
condor, a special sense, or instinct,
which is denied to cleaner-feeding ami
mails. The naturalist cannot explain
this sense; confesses in fact, that he
knows nothing about it, but he can
give it a name. He calls 1t the car
rion sense" and with that name,
which, of course, explains nothing at
all, expects us to be satisfied.-Pear-
sons Magazine.

Holding a Right Of Way.

In the early days of western rail-
way building days not SO long gone
by as to be out of memory-there
were many exciting races between
rival roads for the possession of inn
portant mountain passes. Such race
was that between the Atchinson and
the Rio Grande roads for the right OF
way through Ration Pass, to New Mex
leo and the Southwest
Engineers and construction gangs
worked in mad haste to get to it
ahead of their rivals. The victory
fell to the chief of the Atchinson.
When the Rio Grande cohorts arriv-
ed they found him alone in one Of
the big gorges, shovel in hand, slicing
earth from an 5000 foot hill.
what are you doing there?" they
asked
Constructing railroad" he re-
piled. He turned another shovel of
dirt, dropped the tool and hitched up
his heavy cartrige belt
"Any one who interferes with the
Atchison does it at his own risk" he
said, quietly.
First the Rio Grande men laughed.
and then they ragged. and then they
turned and went away. Their road
was cut of from the South forever

Sailing Round Cape Horn.

Memories of the old sailing shir
days and of the record passages o.
the famous China tea clippers are
vividly recalled by the seven remark
able passages which have been made
during the last twenty-one months
by the German steel lmasted ship
Preussen This vessel, with gross
tonnage of more than 5000 tons, Is
the largest wind jammer'' afioat.
and she can carry 5000 tons of nj
trate. She is regularly engaged in
trading between Hamburg and the nj
trate ports on the west coast Of
South America, and since March,
1904, has made three complete round
voyages, out and home, and one out
ward passage to IQuiQue.
The Preussen has thus rounded
Cape Horn-"The Corner" as sailor
men call it-nc fewer than seven
times within twenty-one months, a
marvellous sailing record. That the
Germans have not lost all faith in
masts and canvas is evidenced by the
fact that at the present time there is
building at Bremerhaven a five mast
ed steel bark which will be even
larger than the Preussen. This new
bark will however be fitted with tri-
pie expansion engines of 1000 horse
power, which will enable her to steam
seven or eight knots an hour in calm
weather.-London Daily Graphic.

CXnicisms.

Every member of a quartet can
tell you three good reasons why the
organization is not perfect.
Some folks contribute generously
ON missionary Sunday. and treat
their poor neighbors in the back
street like dirt.
When you see man foamlng az
the mouth, his head in a moose ana
a razor at his throat, don't be alarm
ed, for perhaps he is only getting
shaved.
If some people were anything nke
as big as they think they are, the
world would have to be enlarged.
