Board of Directors Donation
Day Next Saturday.

A meeting of the board of direct
ors Of the city hospital was held in
conjunction with the Ladies' Auxil-
iary at the home of Mrs. James S..
Wight, on High street, last night.
The mortgage on the hospital was
entirely paid off last year, and it was
decided last night to improve the in
terror with the money that is raised
by the auxiliary this year. A num-
Der of improvements are needed, and
they will be given attention.
Saturday is donation day, and the
Ladies' Auxiliary will be in the city
hall park at that time to receive any
gifts. The smallest article will be
accepted as willingly as the largest.
Tomorrow night a part of the pro-

DIFFERENT KIND TONIGHT
Haney and Jackson Are Not Billed
to Appear.

There will be an entirely different
kind of speech-making in Washing
ton hall tonight and Boss Strong's
machine will hold a meeting in an
effort to persuade the people to stand
by Senator Jackson that he might be
returned to the legislature to serve
the corporations for three more
years.
Senator Hillery and Assemblyman
Barber are scheduled to speak, but
the most interesting thing would be
for George j.. Haney to appear and
tell about his connections with the
Amboy bridge deals, the local coal
combine and the water board land
deal; also for Senator Jackson to OK
plain why he preferred to serve Davy
Baird, the boss of Camden county,
than the people and thereby compel
the governor 70 call a special session
of the legislature to wipe out the dis
grace brought upon the state.
Hane and Jac'lson are the two
stars OF the ring" performance to-
night, but it is very doubtful if they
will appear.
OF course all that has been said
against the ring" will be denounced
as lies, but the actual facts will be
kept under cover.
