EARRING NOTES IN
SAENGERBUND ARE
At LAST ATTUNED
Two Questions That Threatened
Harmony of Northeastern
Men Settled.

Harmony, so seriously threatened for
months in the board of directors of the
Northeastern Saengerbund. prevails
tuned to the sweet symphony of peace.
There were two discords that had
Jared the sensibilities of the singers.
One was the presentation of new rules
for the Kaiser prize competition at the
big saengerfests, and the other an ac-
cusation said to have been made by
President Arno Leonhardt, of the
Junger Maennerchor, of Philadelphia,
to the effect that the prize judges at
the saengerfest held here in 1906 were
paid for their verdicts. The first was
disposed of by allowing the question
of changes to swing over into next year
and The second by a denial of the
charge on the part of President Leon
hardt.
1t was most appropriate that these
matters should have been satisfactorily
settled in Harmonic Hall in the City
as to the Kaiser prize came up it was
decided tina the old conditions hould
prevail, excepting that all societies
competing should be compelled to rem
der in ADDITION to their songs A Of
the choi Uses on the program.
When President ,L~eonhardt's troubles
came up he first said that he had been
misquoted, and that he had never said
a word about Newark's judges having
been brlbed nor had made I'M such
accusation against Brooklyn's judges
three years before hat. What he did
say, he added, was that one of the
judges was incompetent as to pronun-
citation. Whatever else he had said

FIGHT CHANGE IN
GERMAN ALLIANCE
POLITICAL RULES
Newark's Delegation in Stormy
Debate Decides to Stand
by Present Law.
MUST GET THE
SOCIETY'S ENDORSEMENT
Pfngst Sunday and Monday Gel
ebratiOn Committees Are
Selected.

After a stormy debate the delegates
to the session of the German-American
Central Alliance in Pioneer Hall yes
terday afternoon decided to oppose any
change in hat section of the State
League rules which forbids any of its
officers from becoming a candidate for
and political office, unless such office
should be in the interest of the work
of the league, and the proposed candi-
date is indorsed by that organization.
Those who tool part in the discus
sion were Alphonse Helms, George Herr
mann, John IWiesemann, Gustav ].
Wolber and Anton +. Mueller. Mr..
Hermann said that it would have been
a good thing for the alliance if some of
its members had a seat in the legis-
lature during the recent local option
fight, and other speakers voiced like
sentiments.
Another matter that caused much
talk and created some excitement was
the method OF selecting officers Of the
various organizations, n it was
finally decided that no officer of the
State organization should be allowed to
hold a like office in the local society.
President George Grimme, in his
quarterly report, told of the work, and
called particular attention to the big
meeting to be held April 20 to protest
against encroachments on personal
liberty" on the part of the various or
CARNATIONS that are interested in up
holding the Bishops law, and in more
stringent excise legislation.
These chairmen of committees were
appointed to ook after the German

Representative Littlefield succeeded
to the vacancy caused by the death of
Representative Nelson Dingley, and
was elected to Congress in 1899. The
hardest contest he has ever had came
in his last campaign, when, because of
having occurred the displeasure of
labor leaders, he was opposed by labor
organizations. Secretary Taft and

American Federation of Labor, stumped
the State for and against Mr.. Little
field, who was reelected by a vote of
1925 to 1921 for the Democratic can

All Saints Rector Said to Have
Snubbed Missionary and
TOadied to Rich.

LAKEWOOD, March pa chance
remark made by a woman has led to
dfssension in All Saints Episcopal
Church here and to a whole pack of
trouble for the pastor, the Rev. Edward
Ernest Matthews. Incidentally the
church has lost a $4,000 legacy.
1t is charged that Rector Mat
thews is toadying to rich families in his
congregation, and neglecting the poorer
p~arishioners. The charge came about
through a chance remark dropped by
Miss Hauseknecht. the visiting mis-
sionary employed by. the members of
the Emergency Fund for the Sick
Poor
"I don't know why Mr. Matthews
should ignore me. He has not included
me in. his pastoral calls, although I am
a-member of his church" is what the
missionary is reported to have said.
Among the subscribers to this char
ity are John D. Rockefeller. George J.
Gould, Louis B. Stillwell. Clarence M.
Roof, Henry A. James, Sheppard Knapp
de Forest and other leaders in the
Lakewood colony.
The pastor denies having dis
eliminated against Miss Hause-
knecht. Nevertheless, there Is
much friction in his congregation, and
when the will of Miss Gertrude Leslie,
who died on March 3, was read, it was
found that instead of leaving her $4,000

Visiting Cards Sent After Death.
The cards should be sent as soon as an

FASHION DEGREES THAT
TIGHT SLEEVES BE WORN

Sleeves of two materials are no longer
in favor. This may be due to the fact
that thin goods or those which are pill
able are popular this winter. Whatever
the cause, thick, dark top with white
lower part is not now a fad.
The majority of sleeves are long, and.
almost without exception, small. so that
frocks made two months ago proclaim
their age by the amount of fulness at the
shoulders, for in the fall models there is
little more material than is required for
comfort.
Such modes mean that thin stuffs must,
of necessity, be employed, as thick fab
RIGS would be almost Impossible to manip-
ulate Therefore when cloth costume
is made one sees that the stuff which
must be used for decoration appears In
the sleeves the latter being saved from
an effect Of marked contrast only by
clever manipulation Of the trimming. II
satin bands are employed on cloth dresses
the sleeves should be satin. If the gown
i'm silk or satin lace trimmed, the sleeves
would be of silk rather than the lace, be-
cause, when possible, they continue the
foundation scheme rather than accentu-
ate the trimming.
Fortunately tor those who do not like
striking styles, few materials used are
stiff: therefore it is possible to employ the
principal goods for al. parts of the frock
Ladies' cloth and the novelty effects are
soft. That. indeed, might be called the
distinguishing feature of dressy materials

In bereavement.
Good Form to Send Flowers.
The sending of flowers to persons who
have been plunged into mourning is one
of the graceful courtesies of such times,
and unless they go to an intimate friend,
nothing should be written on the visit
ing card that accompanies them.
No person needs assistance to express
sentiments of sorrow or joy to intima te
friends, for they write as they would
speak.
A man may send flowers to girl on the
death of parent or member of the inn
mediate family, and it is not necessary
that he should write note to accompany
the gift. His card is enough. but it is ex-
pected that later he will call, even if he
is not received
When those in bereavement Lave large
acquaintance it is customary to post en-
graved cards of thanks to all who have
sent messages of coincidence. Such d
card is always black bordered, and the
form varies little.
If this Is not done notes must be al
swered by notes in return. Such com
munication might read like this:
Ny Dear Mrs. Jones:
Mr.. Smith and I thank you most sin-
cerely for the kind thoughts of us in our
aff1iction, and if anything could help, it
is the loving sympathy that has been
shown. Relieve me, we appreciate it
deeply, and after time when life grows
less hard. hope to be able to thank you
Most sincerely. MARY SMITH.
If only a visiting card has been posted,
no acknowledgment is necessary.
