HALF WOULD.BE
POLICEMEN
PASS

Preparations were mad by the Police
Board to appoint today twenty-five
candidates from the civil service list
of that long-looked-for document which
reached the board in time for today's
meeting, but 1t did not materialize,
though the board heard officially from
the commission that the list will be in
readiness for Mondays meeting.
1t is known that though 293 men APP
piled for positions on the force, only
1859 stood the physical and mental tests,
a difference of 1874. There were 1873 men
who passed the physical examinations
which entitled them to take the oral
and written mental examinations.
Owing to the large number of an
swers to questions which had to be
gone over, it being estimated tina over
5000 answers were given, the civil
service commissioners had much more
work than they anticipated, and in
so far as great care was used, the delay
was not surprising to the Police Board.
1t was thought at first the list would
be ready October 1.
Commissioners George ]. Jaeger and
Walter j. Knight, who have handled all
of the examinations, said thai 1t was no
easy matter for them, but both state
officially that the list will be in the
hands of the Police Board at the con-
ference on Monday. Neither of the
civil service commissioners would say
just how nan men passed the final
test or the number of men eligible for
appointment.
Secretary Cox, of the Police Board,
has requested that special police officers
of the city of Newark appear at the
commissions rooms in the City Hall
tomorrow and register. Any n falling
to do this will have his license re-
voked.
The session of the board this after
noon was taken up for the most part
with trials Of policemen who were deret
iict in their duty.

known retired Hebrew merchant, who died
In this city September 20 last, was adj
mitted to probate in the S~urrogate's office

one, of them contested the provisions of

into four equal parts for the benefit Of
Mrs. Fanny Rose, a married daughter;
Moses l.. Isenburg, the son named as one
of the executors; Mrs. Carrie Klein, an
other married daughter, and Fanny Steiner,
a granddaughter.
In case of the death of these children
thsir share is to go to their issue, and if
they have none it is to be divided among
the other heirs.
There is a specific direction that $4,000
be invested and the income to be paid
to Rose Isenburg, the widow of a son,
Benjamin I~senburg.

nearly moved TO tears. He was given
an ovation as he took his seat.
Rudolph Braun, Of Newark. gave a talk
on Confidence and expressed hopeful

Mayor P. ]. Ryan, OF this city. told the
delegates of the pleasure the citizens of the
city had in entertaining such "A body of

couraged the union as much rs ours, " he
remarked. The days of opposition TO
Christianity IN this vicinity are passed.

The speaker then praised Dean Gessner
and told of the thousands of dollars worth
of property owned by the church of which
he is pastor. 1--WE are celebrating old
home week aud have offered inducements
to former residents to return and see the
progress we ave made during the past
twenty years. he said further. Il say it

Urder Sheriff Charles NJ. Mason, of
Essex County, and known to many of the
people of Betseytown, as he was a teacher
in the local high school at one time, and
who a few years ago took an Elizabeth
miss as his bride, followed the Mayor.
The subject assigned to him was THE
Young Man in Politics. He pointed to
such men as Dean Gessner, Dean Nc
Nulty, of Paterson; Monsignor Shepard,
of Jersey City; Father Fleming, of Or
ange, and Father McManus, of Newark,
as men whose example should be followed
and advice adhered to.
He denounced the display of indecent
posters, and the sale of obscene pictures
to the young, as well as cocaine and other
drugs. Organizations such as the Catholic
National Union and the Holy Name So
cieties and the Father Mathew T. A. B..
s., are the ones which accomplish un-
bounded good, he declared. s
The speaker next stated that 1t was
the duty of the people to see that public
officials elected by the people and under
oath to do their duty should see that
all laws are upheld impartially and with
out fear or favor. The speaker further
said:
In his speech the under sheriff said:
Mark Twain, in speaking of Methuselah,

Mrs. l.. Ida Dukes

of the press department, spoke OF he
value of the newspapers as an aid to
making known the scope of the Chris
tian Endeavor work and winning he
interest of the public. Mr.. Sproull
added a word along the same line, say
ing use the press. YOU all know it
pays to advertise, and why not in this
work as well as any other? If you
have a good thing in your society, let
everyone know about 1t, and this can
be done through the press"
Bishop Alexander Walters, superintendent
of the work among negroes, talked inter
estingly of the methods used to promote
the growth Of the Christian Endeavor
among his people.
1--WE have more than half a million of
members said he, land we have a gem
eral Christian Endeavor paper, known as
the Barrack Christian Endeavor Advo-
cate, which has a wide circulation" He
said that one day Of every negro conference
was devoted to Christian Endeavor re-
ports, which are growing more and more
satisfactory.
ut seems to me that the chasm between
us and our white brethren is getting wider.
There is no question about the black man
needing the touch Of refinement and culture
to be given by the white man. We were
placed mere size ny Slue' surely Tor some
great purpose
Bishop Walters read a paper telling CT
the progress the negro has made since the
Civil War.
He said the negroes congratulated
themselves on the progress they had al
ready made, and gave tables of statistics
showing how they have advanced in
every line since the Civil War.
Il think we ought to come to you M
let you know what we are doing" said
he, =" for you give US your money and help
us to advance. but it would be better if,
prior to the conferences, white men should
be appointed and visit the colored schools
and churches. get in touch with them, and
come back to you and tell what we are
DOING
He thought it was not enough to let the
colored superintendent bring in his own
report. He gave vivid pictures of the
existing conditions among the people of
the South.
An open air service was held in Mill
tary Park at 1890 o'clock, when the Rev.
John Mcdowell, pastor Of the Park Pres
byterian Church, gave a talk on mot
Ashamed of Jesus" The Christian En-
deaVor choir gave selections.
The following were appointed to draw
up a set of resolutions to be read at the
close Of the conference: The Rev. w. K.L
Steiner. of Millville, chairman; the Rev.
Walter B.. GreeDway, Of Jersey City; w.
E., Thomas, of Millville; L. G. Carton, Of

gar its life in Newark thirty-three years
ago, when 1t was formed by the late Mon
signor George H. Doane, it showed that
che branch of the union in this city is
wide awake.
Last nights banquet was held in st.
Patrick's new parish hall, which still re-
mains uncompleted. 1t was artistically
decorated, however, with bunting, national
colors and ferns. and an orchestra en-
Iivened matters by playing popular airs.
The Rev. Justin w. Corcoran, at one
time an assistant to the Very Rev. Dean
Gessner, but now of Paterson, was toast
master. He apologized for any shortcom-
ings as he felt that he was far from
possessing the humor necessary for such a
position. but he had acted but a short
time when he found that the delegates
were satisfied with his efforts.
The Rev. Bernard M. Began, who served
the union as its president for a lumber Of
wears, was the first speaker. He told of
the amount of good the National Union
did In its t~hirty-three years existence,
and stated that it was but beginning to
demonstrate its power. He urged the
members to return to their respective
States and organize new branches and
Keep in close touch with their pastors.
Judge Thomas L. Raymond, of the First
District Court, followed and dwelt on
1.-THE United Field" He said that a
liberal education was necessary nova
days, and should be obtained, and that
the best way to secure it was for those in
need of 1t to read good literature and
the cheap novels of the present day.
"Don't let us stack our Libraries with
novels, and allow the literary treats to
dry out in the stores said he. Let us
gaze at the words of Burke, and Daniel
Webster. and they will give US new
speech" The speaker complimented the
union for its achievements during its ca
reer and hoped that its success would be
doubled in the future.
Father Corcoran had a few words of
praise for Judge Raymond, and likewise
condemned the novel and sensational
paper.
John J. Keany. Of BrooklyA, told of the
days when the, Union was compelled to
for success. Il remember the
when our champion, the Rev. Father

The regular morning session was
then called to order by Percy r.
Nuessle, president of the Essex County
c.. e. Union and general chairman of
the convention, who said that Essex
had enjoyed the hospitality of the other

The convention was held at st.

States who are members of thu union.
A sensational story hat there was dis
sension between the priests and the
laymen over the result was contra
dicted by both sides at the banquet
which brought the convention to a
close after midnight.
There is no denial of the fact, how
ever, that both the clergy and laymen
debated over the question of having the
old system abolished, but when the ma
jority vote decided in favor of the lay
men the priests present were the first
to rise and cheer for Mr.. Slattery.
The new president hen nominated the

were Immediately closed, and the priest,
who championed the battle against Mr..
