Ermine on Morosini Nags.

Not satisfied with having clad her
fayorite horses in royal leopard skins,
Miss Giulia MoroSini, always on the
lookout for n new excuse for eXtrava-
gance, this winter will dazzle the fash
ionable world by blanketing her thor
oughbreds in ermine, says the New
York Press. How pretty penny that
fad will cost may be calculated from
the fact that a single ermine lining
for coat of any length is worth ST.
600. A horse of course will require
more of the fur than a woman, and,
besides, there are at least a half doZ-
Ell high priced nags that share first
place in Miss Morosini's affections
This picturesque young woman doubt
less will go a step beyond even this
newest within, and when the first thrill
of the ermine blanket has passed she
may be expected to deck her high STEP
pers with golden surcingles studded
with diamonds.

AMOUNT OF SALES
AT ARM0RY $659
Cost Was Light and Nearly All of the
Receipts Will Go to Benefit of
Bethany Home.

The annual rummage sale held at
the Armory for the benefit of Bethany
home closed Saturday evening. The
total receipts of the sale were $659.0l,
which is $97 less than the total
amount of the sale held last year. 1t

donations. The cost was light and ii
large proportion of the total sum re-
ceived will be clear profit for the be,l-
eft of the home.

CHRIST TO REIGN AGAIN
ON EARTH, He DECLARES.
The Rev. Gustave Aue So Holds in Ad-
dress to Members of Christadel-
phian Ecclesia.

The Rev. Gustave Aue OF Jersey City, a
minister of the Christadelphian Ecclesia.
delivered an address to members of that
faith at their headquarters in the Iro-
uuois building, in Washington street, yes
terday afternoon. His subject was, VIVA
the World Is Coming To" He said, in
part:
A the prophecies of the past point to
our Lords returning TO the earth, and it is
the part of wisdom for US to hold our
selves in readiness for that coming, eve
to look forward to it and be among those
who will inherit the world. The Kingdom
of God is as real and literal a kingdom as
any that ever existed. 1t is pure and holy.
1t will have a King and princes, Judges
and governors, and subjects, and 1t will
have a territory where they will dwell.
Thai territory will be this earth. There
will be a capital city, and a temple erect
ed there; the capital city will be Jerusalem
and the temple will be the house Of the
Lord.
These things are spoken of in the Scrip
lures in such plain language that we have
no choice left us in our belief, and can
only believe them TO forecast a real, lit
eral kingdom. In Daniel 7:27 it Is said
that the time will come when the saints
shall possess the kingdom of the earth.
His kingdom shall never pass away or be
destroyed. How different It has been in
the case Of the Kingdoms of the earth!
The people of Israel shall be gathered
together again, and shall dwell in
the holy land: It is written thus
in Matthew 1928, where, it. Is said
salem ruling and judging the people OF
Israel. In fact, from beginning to end we
find such a chain of scriptural passages
that we cannot doubt the meaning In
tended to be conveyed"

CONDITIONS IN
NEWARK IMPROVED.
Bishops Law Has Resulted in Much
Progress in County, Too, Says
Edward s. Black.

sWhy Temperance Should Give Thanks
was the. subject that Edward S. Black,
deputy grand chief OF the International
Order Of Good Templars. spoke OF at
Somerset Hall. 40 Belleville avenue, yester-
day afternoon.
Temperance people should give thanks
because Governor-elect Fort was bound to
uphold the Bishops law, because of the
obligations that he took when he became q
member OF the Good remplars at Pember-
ton years ago. said MIR. Black.
In speaking of local conditions, Mr..
Black said:
New Jersey is one OF the most back
ward States in regard to the great tenn
perance reform. and yet we have many
things that ought to make us suprenlely
thankful. For Instance. note the progress
in our own city of Newark and In Essex
County During the Good Templar anti
Sunday saloon crusade, which commenced
IN 1901. twelve judicial officers refused TO
entertain complaints against saloon-keep-
crs. and six Grand Juries violated their
oath by refusing TO indict In the face of
the most conclusive testimony; 1,6OO
saloon-keepers were enthroned above the
law. and corrupt police and excise off
cials were in league with the violators. In
performing my duty as counsel IN the
prosecution of saloon-kecpers ] was ire
duently publicly insulted in open court,
TO which tho police judge was Indifferent,
and was sometimes followed on the street
by angry. bowling mobs. How changed
now! Not one judicial officer would now
dare refuse TO take a complaint against
q saloon-keeper. Sheriff Sommer draws
honest Grand Juries. who perform their
duty fearlessly and faithfully. High po-
lice officials have been driven from office
in disgrace. Gambling and opium hells
and dens of infamy a been closed, and
the Sunday law, is being fairly ~inforced
IN our city. and will doubtless be fully
enforced in the future, in the face OF the
fact that but six years ago 1t was gener-
ally said that It could not be enforced
