DECIDE TO PAY CITY
COUNTY ITEM OF $34,599
FOR PAVING.
Freeholders' Committee Baked at Doing
1t Week Ago-savfng in New
Contract for Telephone.

While the members Of the road and
assessments committee of the Board
of Freeholders were disposed to refuse
to pay the city it's share of the cost of
paving Central avenue a week ago, at
the meeting yesterday afternoon they
informed Chief Morris R.. Sherrerd that
they would consent to pay the amount,
$34, 559.76 with interest at 2 per cent,
amounting to $500, and requested Sher-
rerd to send a corrected bill before the
next meeting of the committee, and
that this bill would be sent to the
board, with the recommendation that
1t be paid in full.
The members of the committee au-
thorized the chairman to enter into a
new contract with the New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company for the
special telephone installed in the Offices
of the committee, this year for s4s, for
a limited service of 600 calls. Last year
the committee made a contract for
5000 calls for STAT, but the represen-
tative of the company told the mem
bers Of the committee by a letter that
only 573 calls had been used during
the year and suggested the lower con-
tract.
A bill rendered by G. A. L~ighthipe &
Son for stone furnished for repair work
in Springfield avenue was held up by
the committee. A contract had beer
entered into between the members Of
the board and Lighthipe, the price
being $1.30 a ten for the stone. Light
hipe billed the stone at $1.40. His claim
will be returned for correction.

Church.

Father W1denberg, o. P. who has
charge of the mission for men TINS
week at st. Antoninus's Church, opened
the services last night with instruc-
ton on the rosary of the Blessed VIZ
gin. He said that for 500 years the
monks OF the Order of st. Dominic had
taught the rosary to the people. NOT
only had the poor and the useo
the rosary and prayers to God, but the
highest. most exalted. most learned men
and women Of the Catholic Church had
.reeited the rosary, and were nourished
by its prayers.
The prayers of the rosary, the Our
Father. the Hail Mary and the Holy
Mary. had been handed down through
the centuries not only by hundreds OF
thousands of Catholics, but by millions
of them. by kings. emperors, princes
peasants, soldiers and scribes and low
queens. When Jesus was asked by the
apostles the best prayer to say He
said. 'Our Father. who art in heaven.
When the angel announced to the Vfr-
gin Mary that she had been chosen by
God to be the mother of His son, the
angel saluted her with, Hail, Mary
full of grace and these two prayers.
the Our Father and the Hail Mary
came from God to His people, and there
fore Catholic people say the rosary as
IerVentIY now as the men anu WOMEN
of centuries ago did. In the Our Father
we asked God to forgive us our sins
and lead us from temptation and de-
liver MS from eveil. and in the Hail
Mary the mother of God was asked by
Catholics 10 intercede in their behalf
at the throne of God.
Father Stanton, o. p, a young mission
priest, preached the ermon His subject

phet, jeremiah, about the people of his e

living only for the enjoyment Of sinful
pleasures, and he said that il

would find the people forgetful of God
and living as II there was no such thing
as death. And every one knew that all

death as holy men and women dedicated
their lives to the service-of God do, they
would live better, so far as to be prepared
for death.

piece as the headliner of the vaudeville

the rest OF the program, though there are
seven other numbers of general excellence.

where Eliza Carter. the dainty village
school teacher, played by MuriHl Nc

Henry e. Dixey is the top liner a

crowded house last night found much en-

called "A Passing Parent" the we'll
known actor appeared in a role which pro

was made more marked by his recitation

girl speak of her long-lost father as hav-

right hand, Briggs reveals himself and
palms himself OF as the parent, making
the Identification complete by marking a
cross on his hand. His efforts to make
her see the marked hand affords good by
play, and throughout all the rest of the
fun Mr.. Dixsy draws the smiles and
laughter by bis comlcal approximations of
