appear in court. As soon as she could
leave her bed she came to ask for his re-
lease, but this time he is in to stay. She
is doing better without him. 1t was
figured in this case that in six months
she had paid twenty dollars mores in
fines to keep him out of Jail than he had
contributed in that time toward the sup
port of his family of six persons. What
can you do about it?'
'sThe ideal remedy" replied DR.. Stod-
dard, is that of the Orientals who had
the Cadi sit at the town gate and order
the heads of such brutes chopped off as
fast as they were found guilty. Such a
radical measure is not possible in this
country ait this day, although l suppose
they adopt it still in the East, but I do
sincerely believe that the only solution is
to make the men work for their families
and if they are of the calibre of those
you have mentioned have lusty police
man call upon them early each morning
and give them a good beating before
starting them off to work. Keep them
out of jail and give them dose of their
own medicine. | think this would 40
them more good than anything else"
The Commission to revise the poor
laws haye its first meeting at the new
library building in Newark, January II.
The commission will discuss the problem
of abandonment in all its phases. If you
who need this have any suggestions to
make regarding amendments to the exist
ing laws which viii meet the character
of cases therein enumerated please go to
the meeting and personally communicate
them to the commission. he problem is
one which before the era of civilization
was simply and easily solved. but since
the opening of the Christian ero has
proved the one great stumbling block to
criminologists and sociologists. Perhaps
you can solve it, or perhaps you may be
up in. the air over a solution as DR..
Stoddard and the reporter were when
they finished their discussion.

PHONE I'M RURAL DISTRICTS

Afar up in the mountains beycut the
dull roar of the cities someone has heard
glad tidings.
What is it?
Is it the mighty plunging steel steed
bounding over the endless rails or iron
that is going to extend it's progress, or
is it the telephone. which, within the
twinkling of an eye brings the musical
voices of loved ones so far away, yet so
near, says the Evergreen News Mil

The right-of-way man secures permis-
sion for construction; his perseverance is
untiring and the people with united eff
forts aid him on his way. The perm5s-
sion is all granted; then come the men
who stake out the newly developed terri
tory. which is one of the most active
appearing and creative elements in tele-
phone development. -Four men are re-
quired to properly perform this function.
One starts out with an arInful of stakes
pulling a twine rope one Auidreu ana
sixty y-five feet long. When the rope is
pulled forward its length the man who
remains at the starting point places his
foot on the end of the rope; the forward
man stops. drops a stake. and when the
rope is released by the rear man he again
resumes his march. In the meantime the
stake has been numbered. driven into the
gloundEand automa ticaliy the work
goes on. People look on in awe. They
are so glad, so delighted that progress
is coming their way. The work of stalk
ing out is completed. and on come the
construction men. The work moves ON
mechanically; holes are dug, poles are
shaped and notched, then raised and
dropped in the excavation made for
them.
In rural districts. where the lines are
known as Farmers lines, the poles are
twenty-five feet in length. and are placed
in the ground TO the depth of FIVE feet
leaving the projecting end twenty feet
in length. Following the excavators and
erectors are those who string the wire on
the poles. Glittering copper wires are
strung: men climb up the poles. fasten
the wires to the insulatorS, and so move
on, doing their duty well. The connec-
tions to the houses are made. and TIE

ance of business centre. On Cone tue

MERELY
MENTIONED

Unless he changes his ways. Jim
McCartly's political career will be short
and inglorious. Egotism will be his un-
doing. His head has been turned by
his election to the Presidency of the
Board of Aldermen. and he is so imbued
with his own Importance that some day
lie viii explode. He is constantly play
ing to the galleries, and his insincerity
of purpose is apparent in his every move.
For the sake of getting little applause
from the Faganites he took occasion at
the County Committee meeting last night
to let them know he had no respect for
his brother George. The latter was the
Dickinson candidate for temporary Sec
retary, and when President Mccarthy
was called upto to vote he was not con-
tent with voting against him without at
tracting attention. He shouted the name
Of the opposing candidate at the top of
.hisfvoice and the applause that he had
calculated on getting followed as mat
ter of course.

1t wasn't the fault of the Faganites
that the sRepuh'iea.' ces---- s.
meeting last night did not break up in a
row. When they found tney mele
they did all they could to create trouble,
refusing to be governed by the rules laid
down by the temporary chairman and
approved by the committee, and inter-.
ruptiEg the speakers selected to place the
organization candidates before the meet
ing. The test vote was on the temporary
officers and it indicated majority of
from 90 to 100 for the Dickinsonites.

at the chairman. Mr. McEwan salked
at random for fifteen minutes. Mr..
Baldwin told him his time was up.
4 shall talk until the sun rises if | so
desire
Not here" said Mr.. Baldwin, and
though Honest Tom fumed and frettetb
he was not permitted to say another
word All of the ginger had oozed out
of him. He forgot about his opening
remarks and meekly allowed Mr., Bald
win to help him off the platform so that
the business of the meeting could be
proceeded with. BY this time all Of the
fight had been taken out of the Pagan
ties. For the first time in a long while
they were not permitted to have every
thing their own way. They were oblig-
ed TO submit to majority rule, though
they hated to do so.
The vote between Fry and Kaiser for
Chairman Of the Committee was con-
vincing proof that the Republican party
stil1 has confidence in Col. Dickinson,
and that it is not ready to turn the or
ganization over ito Mayor Pagan and his
ex-Democratic followers.
Mayor Fagan, who was put in NOM
nation for First Vice President by Gus
todian Connolly, refused to stand. He
knew that defeat was staring him in the
face and he did not have the courage to
meet it. He showed the white feather
and the Dickinsonites found pleasure in
telling him so.
The vote Of jersey City on the chairs
mansliip was 15S for Fry and 116 for
Kaiser This would indicate that the
Fagantes will control the City Commit
tee Chairman Frys ward the Seventh,
gave a ajority against him. This wa,s-
accepted as an evidence of the popularity
of Health Commissioner George McCar-
thy. who was the successful Dickinson
candidate for Secretary. Mr.. Fry was
consoled by the fact that he got ma
jority of the votes in the Sixth Ward,
Sheriff Kaiser's home.
Edward Fry felt uncomfortable all
through the meeting. Oscar Fribourg
insisted on whispering into his ear, and
Fry was afraid people might notice the
incident. Fribourg was Democrat un-
til Robert Davis kicked him out Of his
office. Now he insists ON telling the Fa-
gan leaders how they should do things.
Tax Commissioner Weastell. for some
unknown reason. seemed tickled to death
when Mr.. Record started in to lambaste
Col Dickinson. Ed Mitchell, too,
looked pleased
This looks more like an old-time
Democratic conyention than "a meeting
of Republicans, remarked newspaper
naaIl who has attended many gatherings
Of both parties.

Aaron Baldwin, who was fighting in
the ranks of the Republican party when
half of the Faganites We're opposing it,
was insulted and browbeaten because he
would not allow the Pagan orators to
monopolze the time Of the committee in
casting slurs on Col. Dickinson and other
organization leaders. 1t had been agreed
that not more than fifteen minutes
should be consumed in placing candi-
date in nomination. George L. Record
had hardly got half Through with his at
tack on Col. Dickinson before the time
limit had expired and though the COM
mittee by vote refused to extenu his
time he insisted on keeping the floor.
Chairman Baldwin wouldn't allow h m
to proceed. Finding that he could not
have things his own way and1run the
meeting as he wished he withdrew.

placing Kaiser in nomination for chair
man against the Pagan candidate Ed
ward Fry. Amid the uproar Vickers
was heard to say that it was to Kaiser
and not to Pagan that the Republicans
owe the victory Of last November. Of
course, this did not sit well on the
stomachs of the Faganites, and they
yelled in derision.

Culture Club was organized two
years ago by Mrs. Bliss. It's mem
bers are pursuing the study of En-

solo by Miss Stevens and a vocal
solo by Miss Irma Bliss were great
ly enjoyed. A social hour followed,

the Tuesday Club.
In 1888 years ago-John B.
Mayer set out some evergreen trees,
spruce and Norway pines, on his
lots in Greenwood cemetery. Two
of the spruce he cut down several
years ago and two Norway pines he
had cut down last week. The trees
had grown to such dimensions that
they were rather detriment and
the roots were extending to other
lots, The butt logs of these two
pines cut down last week, one of
which is % inches through, Mr..
Mayer will have sawed into boards,
which he will have made into ar
ticles of furniture, cabinets, picture
frames, etc, to be preserved by his
children and grandchildren as me-
mentoes. Such souvenirs will be
valued as treasures, always sug-
gestions of reverent recollections.
Miss Eva Parker White entertain
ed few of her friends last Friday
evening at the residence of her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. C. D.
Parker. The party was in honor of
the Patron Saint of the Fourteenth,
and the heart idea was carried
out in everything pertaining to the
entertainment. The invitations
were inscribed in red on tiny white
hearts; the decorations were entire
ly in red and white hearts of various
sizes; the cakes were hearts and the
games were all hearts. There was
a target of large white heart, with
arrows of red, in which the merry
throng aimed" to peer into the
mystic possibilities of the future.
There was a sweetheart hidden for
the lucky finder and later the game
of "hearts" where contrary to the
accepted idea, the one who got the
most hearts was the booby.' Miss
Clare Freeman carried off the chief
prize-~a heart-shaped bon bon box
+ of sweets, as getting the fewest
hearts in the game. Mr.. Floyd
Armstrong was the happy possess
or of the most hearts and as a con-
sequence had a whole bunch" of
Sweet hearts on the on the string"
Mr.. James Pomeroy was the fortu-
nate finder of the buxom hidden
Sweetheart. Miss Helen Parkhurst
got the piece of cake which held the
ring, so an announcement" will,
of course, be no surprise to her
friends. The happy evening closed
with a little "hop" in the spacious
parlors, everybody declaring it the
very incest time"

Mrs. Southworth' lecture
A program of especial interest was
given at the West Side L. D. c. yes
terday afternoon. Mrs. M. E.
Southworth of California of
gave her celebrated lecture on
1.-THE Madonna in Art"
Mrs. Southworth has spent four
years in preparation for this lecture
and spoke with the thoroughness of
a student as we'll as with the enthu-
siasm of one well versed in her sub
iect. The most admirable feature
OF her lecture was the beautiful Ma
donna spirit with which she enthus-
ed her listeners.
She spoke first of the great pop
ularity of the Madonna in art, be-
cause of the widespread maternal
instinct, and said that this would
always be favorile theme of art
lists. The Madonnas were classified
chronologically with full descrip-
tions of the most famous studies
and the many interesting incidents
portrayed in the pictures as we'll as
symbolism of the different fgures.
She showed numerous lIlustra-
tions and the listeners will hereaft-
er bring to their interest in the sub
feet a new Enthusiasm.
