MERELY
MENTIONED

You don't catch any of City Hall Gus
todian Connolly's friends getting any the
worst Of it. John Byrnes, one Of the
Custodian's lieutenants in the Fifth
Ward. recently incurred the displeasure
of Health Commissioner Hespe and the
result was he lost his job as Sanitary
Inspector. Connolly was dead sore. He
wanted to know what Hespe was think
ing about any way when he chopped off
the official head of one of the most ar
dent Pagan workers in the Mayors home
ward. Hespe wouldn't give him any sat
isfaction. Byrnes had been bounced and
he would stay bounced. That was the
answer the Fifth Ward leader got when
he insisted on an explanation.

MAINE

In the Spring the anglers fancy sends
him towards the woods of Maine.
In Maine the angler can seek prolific
fishing ground in almost any direction;
but lest the new conner may find it hard
to choose from the hundreds of lakes and
streams, we will mention few sections
where good sport and results await the
visitor. Sebago lake, few miles west
of Portland, the home of the salmon, the
famous Rangely lakes and Dead River
region offer alluring sport: in the waters
of Umbagog, MooseloolSmeguntie, Par
machene and Cupsuptic, also the Pen
olscot and Aroostook rivers, Moosehead
Lake, the largest body of trout water in
the world.
However, Maine by no means claims
monopoly on the fish and game sport. for
New Hampshire has a reputation in the
same line, while in Vermont Champlain
and her sister lakes prove rendezvous for
sportsmen, and in the Province of Que
bee and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
are fishing grounds which the sportsmen
would characterize as the "real thing"
There is just one way to reach the
hunting regions-and that is via the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad and connections.
The Boston & Maine Passenger Depart
ment has just issued beautiful booklet,
something brand new, with a delightfully."-
colored cover, illustrated and containing
sixty-one pages of interesting descriptive
reading on the fish and game territory of
northern New England and the Proyin-
ces. This in the fishermen's guide don't
forget; this book win tell you in detail
just where to go, what to do, etc. It
will be mailed upon receipt Of a two-cent
stamp by the General Passenger Depart
ment Boston & Maine Railroad, Boston,
to any address in the world.

FROM THUNDER TO SNOW

Old-timers who have, weathered all
sorts of winters in this vicinity for years
are wondering what kind of a climate
we are up against One of them said
yesterday
Certainly we have just had one of
the mildest witners ever known here.
We didn't even have baby blizzard this
winter. and the green budding of leaves
are already beginning to mantle the bare
branches of the trees in the various city
parks. and what few are left to orna-
ment the Streets
At a time when usually the average
citizen prepares for winter he got left
and found that he was obliged to dress
as do those who live in tropical CHI
mate during winter. Here in Jersey
City we didn't catch even tropical win
ter. Men of means who often take their
families south in winter remained at
home and said, why leave such a glorious
climate as we have this winter 10 go 10
Florida? Scientific men engaged in
oboming up the great summer resorts of
New Jersey nearly two decades ago said
that the Cuff Stream was changing its
course toward the New Jersey shore and
thereby influencing the climate. That
may have been all bosh. But the fact
remains that no one who has ever lived
here for even seventy years. and yet look
what mild. winter we've just passed
through, can tell what was the cause
But it's the funny changes that gets me
When | came out of the police show Sat
urlay night / heard nor the distant but
near rumhling of thunder and saw a few
flashes Of lightning. 1t was an ordinary
April shower of the old days. and vet
this morning during a lull in the Philip
pine sort of rainy day. | saw women
fiicking the fakes of snow from their
Easter bonnets. Queer weather.

Jersey City residents have quite a
number of relatives who were residents
of San Francisco, and over whose fate
they are exceedingly anxious. Among
these are Charles A. Morgan, of No. 40
Storm avenue, who has brother and
sister-in-law who recently returned from
Australia. They had taken up an abode
in San Francisco. Mr.. Morgan has
sought in vain to secure answers to tele-
graphic messages sent to San Francisco.
and he believes that his brother and sis
ter-in-law are among the dead.

BISHOPS POWER
TO Be INCREASED
Important Canon to Be Dis
cussed at the Convention
Of the Newark Diocese
HISTORY OF THE CANON
IF IT BECOMES OPERATIVE IT
WILL DESTROY THE RIGHT OF
APPEAL IN CLAIMS OF MIsTRI-
AL

Interest in the annual diocesan conven-
tion of the Newark diocese of the PrOtes-
tant Episcopal Church, which viii be
held at Trinity Church, Newark, May
1917. is not as keen as usual this year
owing to the fact that few contests are
expected in the annual elections. In 9TH
er words, it is an off year in the con-
vention, due to the fact that the general
convention will not be held until 1907,
when the interest in the election Of del
egates is. keen and contests numerous
The election of delegates to the general
convention. which will be held next year
at Richmond. Va, occurs triennially and
holds good for the three years.
Probably the most interesting discus
sion in the convention will occur when
the question of the adoption of canon 3,
title II. comes up. This canon relates
to the ''penalty for refsuing to abide by
the judgment of the bishop in the disso-
luton of the pastoral relation" and II
adopted will mean increased power for
the bishop Its adoption will be long
step in the direction towards centraliza-
ton of authority in the diocese, the op-
ponents of the canon claiming that it
gives the bishop too great power in rul-
ing the diocese.
The. canon relates to the removal of
priests or ministers from their parishes
and was strenuously debated at the con-
vention of 1905. when it was disposed of
by recommitment to the committee for
report this year. The history of the
canon is. interesting. 1t was adopted by
the general convention of 1885, but was
imperative in many States. especially IN
New Jersey. where the old English COM
mon lay in regard to reeters and tenure
of Office had greater weight in legal de-
cisions than in any other State. 1t was
repealed again in the general convention
at Boston in October, 1904 from which
place it was brought to the Newark dio-
cesar convention last year.
If operative it will destroy the right to
appeal to courts of review of any clergy
man claiming mistrial. Legal laymen
are said to be opposed to 1t, because it is
too much like ''drum head" court mar
tial. Corporation lawyers hold that the
rector. being a member of a corporate
body corporation, can be removed only
for causes sufficiently grave to compel
him either to resign or to stand an &c
clesiastical or civil trial. The clergy
is said to be almost a unit against it. as
it would allow the bishop to get rid of
clergymen too easily and on too trivial
charges. The first and second canons of
title III. relating to the funds for the
aged and infrm clergy and to the or
phans and widows of clergymen, will al
so come up for adoption.

Over 1900 Knights Marched
From the Clubhouse to st.
Mary's R. G. Church
FINE MUSICAL PROGRAMME.
COLLECTION, WHICH AMOUNTED
TO OVER $1,000, WILL PRoBA-
BLY, BE SENT TO SAN FRANCIS
co

The Knights of Columbus held their
annual vesper service last night. 1t has
been the custom for each Council to hold
its own vespers, but this year four Coun-
ellis united to make the greatest demon
stration in the history of the order in
this city.
At half past seven the members to the
number of fifteen hundred met at the
Columbian Clubhouse at Jersey avenue
and Bright street and marched to St.
Mary's R. G. Church, where they were
met by members of the fourth degree,
who, in full uniform, acted as guard
Of honor
The service began with the singing of
Onward, Christian Soldiers" by the Co
iumbian chorus. Roswig's solemn musical
vespers were celebrated by the Rev. b.
Henry Ter Woert, rector Of st. Mary's
Church. Following the Regina Coeli'
and the "Ma gnifcat," sermon on
Faith" was delivered by the Very Rev.
Father Bertram, G. P, rector of St.
Michael's Monastery, West Hoboken. 30
Salutaris," a tenor solo, was sung by
Mr.. Shepherd Garretson After the rem
dition of ''Tantum Ergo the Columbian
chorus sang Holy God, We Praise Thy
Name.
The church choir, numbering seventy
FIVE voices, under the direction of Mrs.
Broadus Newman. was augmented by
Miss Gertrude Franklin, soprano. of
Crawford. r. j., and Miss Marie Wea-
ver alto, Of Manhattan, and Holden's
Orchestra. Mr. Timothy G.. Cagny,
chairman of the Annual Vespers Commit
tee, said that, in all probability, the coll
lection, (which amounted to more than
one thousand dollars, would be forwarded
to the State Deputy Of the California
Knights of Columbus for the benefit Of
the Knights who have been made desti-
tute by the earthquake and Ere in San
Francisco.

This was little over two weeks ego.
Byrnes is still in the City Hall, and what
is more, he is higher up than the man
who put him out Of the Health Depart
ment. Hespe. as Health Commissioner,
has an office in the basement of the
municipal building. As porter, to which
position Conuelly appointed him, Byrnes
is on the main corridor and whenever he
feels like it can look down upon his for
mer department head. Byrnes had to
have something, and Connsily saw that
he got it.

1t may be true that Col. dickinson is
supporting Clement D. R. Leonard for
the HoboSen District Court Judgship
and that County Clerk Rotterdam pre-
fers someone else. 1t isn't the first time
that County CLERK Rotterdam has taken
issue with the party leader on questions
of this kind. If as it is claimed the
County Clerk is opposed to- the appoint
ment of Leonard it is because he is in
accord witch the majority of the Republi-
cans of Hobokea. Even if Leonard were
the unanimous choice of the Republican
organization, it is doubtful if Gov. Stokes
would appoint him. Without knowing
anything about what Col. Dickinson or
Mr.. Rotterdam thinks. the News" ven
cures the opinion that Counsellor Bber-
hard, and not Leonard, will be the late
Judge Frambach's successor.

President Mccarthy. of the Board of
Aldermen, is to be the Republican cam
didate for Surrogate next fall-that is
if the Faganiates carry the primaries
against Col. Dickinson's machine. This
has been officially announced and all
ready the Mccarthy boom has been
launched With the Faganites "Jim" is
the white-haired boy because he held
out against his brother, George. in the
latter's candidacy or City Clerk, and so
far as they are concerned. nothing is too
good for him. One of the reasons why
the Pagan cabinet has taken him up for
the County office is that he is regarded
as an exceptionally strong man through
out the County, and the Faganites feel
that with him as their standard bearer
they will have better chance of defeat
ing the Dickinsonites than they would
with less popular candidate The
Dickinsonites have not announced their
choice. It would not be strange if they
pitted George Mccarthy against brother
s'Iim."
