Ashamed Of Prunes
There is no doubt" remarked head
great hesitancy about asking for prunes in a
restaurant. And yet there hundreds of
people who would rather eat dish of prunes
any day than Strawberries out of season But
there have been many jokes about the
prunes at the boarding house and about their
being cheap that people to think IL they
asked for them it will put pIebeian mark
them.
Invariably when a man orders prunes he
will tell the waiter in an apologetic tone, and
even then he will say 1t so low that no one
but the waiter hear him. Just watch
the next man you eating dish Of prunes
in a hrst-class restaurant and see IL he does
not keep glancing around furtively like man
afraid OF being caught stealing something"

EXCITING ELECTION.
Negro Odd Fellows Chose Huggs as
Grand Master at Montclair Session.

District Grand Lodge No. 4, of the Grand
United Order of odd Fellows of New Jes-
sey. which has been in session at Odd
Fellows Hall, Montclair, for the past two
days, finished its business late last night.
After one of the most exciting elections
ever held in the New Jersey district. the
following officers were chosen: District
grand master, John A. Hugs, iof Pater-
son; deputy district grand master. L. c.
Marable, of Newark; district grand secre-
tary, John W.. Maury. of PlainfieId; dis
trict grand treasurer. Thomas Cheatham,
of Jersey City; district grand director, j..
H. Hubbard, of Bridgeton. The secre-
tary was the only officer reelected.
The above officers will hold Office for
two years, as a resolution was passed that
when the convention adjourned it would
meet again in September. 1909, at Trenton.
This was done because the national lodge
OF the order will meet in September. 1908,
at Atlantic City, and the meeting of the
two bodies would conflict.
The election was so close for some Of
the offices that several lines when the
ballots were counted there would be two
or more tied for the office.
The newly elected officers constitute the
executive board Of the State. The order in
this State has assets of nearly 50,000, and
over 1000 members, there being abont
%, 200 members In the United States. After
the close of the session the delegates were
rendered a supper and reception in the
basement of the Union Baptist Church,
Portland place. by the members of Mendle-
ton Lodge.
The committee which looked after the
reception and /, comfort of the delegates
while in MOntclair consisted Of Freeman
L. Epps, Burr Lee. John F. Peterson, w.
s.. Wilder, James H. Jackson. J. b. Champ,
james Burns, f. F. Thornhill, John Haw-
kins, DR.. II. J. Burnett. William Faison

URGE ORANGE NEGROES
TO SUPPORT CHILD.
Young Democrats Hold 0pen-Air Meet
ing There and Bring Up the Old
Segregation Matter.

A negro political meeting, under the aus
pices of the Young Democrats OF Essex
County. was held last night at South ana
Hickory streets. Orange, and the speakers
urged the people to support the candidacy
of Francis Child for Governor.
William II. Jones, an officer of the coun-
ty organization. presided and spoke on
what he termed the necessity Of the negro
voter changing his politics. Elmer F. Du-
Val made a short speech, setting out the
object OF the meeting and the fight being
made by the young Democrats.
Louis S. Johnson. chairman OF the Young
Democrats OF Essex County, said that
the New Idea faction of the Republican
party had been elected upon a Democratic
platform. that of equal taxation. He took
UP the matter of the segregation and sepa-
ration into separate classes of the children
in the public schools Of East Orange by a
Republican Board of Education, and said
it was impossible to obtain relief at the
hands of a Republican Legislature.
He said that In 1906. with an entire Re-
publican Legislature and Governor, 1t had
proved impossible to find one Republican
Assemblyman or Senator who would ln-
reduce a bill TO give the negro children OF
East Orange the right to enter the schools OF
that city in their own proper classes, tne
same as children of other citizens. without
segregation or separation. The speaker
said that in 1907. with a Democratic Assem-
bly,, elected by the aid of the negro voteis'
a bill to the same effect and giving 10 he
gro citizens equal rights. advantages ami
privileges in all public places, halls. ETC.,
was introduced Simon Hahn, of rs
sex, ard passed the Assembly by the votes
of the Democratic members The bill was
sent to the Senate. That WAS the last
heard of the bill until the man intro
ducing it made inquiries regarding 1t ana
was told by the Republican Senate that
the bill had ueen received. but could not
be found. The speaker wished to know
what became OF the bill.
A. r. jackson. of Newark. a member OF
the Young Democrats of Essex County, as
sisted in conducting the meeting.
Before and between the speeches vocal
solos were rendered by Reuben Howard,
accompanied by Douglass Daniels with the

JUDGE BORAEM'S COURT
HAS LUNACY SESSION.
Three Cases Before It, All Railing frsm
Perth Amboy-The Trio Were
Women, Too.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 7.-Judge
Boraem had three cases of lunacy, ell
from Perth Amboy, before him yesterday,
all of which were continued. One was to
determine whether New York should not
care for Mrs. Margaret Lloyd, of Bing-
hamton, who became insane a short time
ago at Perth Amboy following the death
of her daughter, and was sent to the State
Hospital.
The second case was that of Nina Neil
son. who came from Norway three years
ago and had been employed as a servant
by Mrs. Susie Benton since December. 1906.
The physicians who sent the girl to the
asylum certified that she had declared
that she had had a fight with the devil
n that she had been much bruised in
the struggle. She had told her friends
that she was having q constant struggle
with the church and the devil and that
both we're trying. to down her. She had
been accustomed to going into the yard
and singing religious hymns by the hour
and often would disrobe in the yard while
singing.
The third case was that of Caroline M.
I~verson, wife of a carpenter at Perth
Amboy. This is the third time that she
has been committed to the asylum, each
attack of insanity following the arrival OF
q child at her home. Her husband went
on the witness stand This morning and
testified that he earned SIS a week and
had four children to support, the oldest
being IA years old. Judge Boraem de-
cided that he would not make Mrs. Iver-
son a county charge unless the Freehold
ers were willing to have the county bear
the expense.
