cious dining hall of the college this

Rev. M%onsignor Michael J. Lavelle,
rector of st. Patrick's Cathedral, New
York, who's subject was 1.-THE Holy
Father" the Rev. Henry r.. Drum
goole. professor of moral theology and
canon law at st. Cl1arlcs's Seminary,
Overlook. who spoke on 1.-THE Ideal
Seminary" the Rev. James A. Mackin-
son, of st. Mary's Church, Bayonne,
who talked on Our Alma Mater" and
the Rev. Cornelius Clifford, of tho
Seton Hall faculty, who had Seminary
Optimism as his subject. The Rev.

Passaic.
Father Clifford. in his talk, said:
1.-The role of the genial optimist has al
ways been a happy one, In spite of the
fact hat a certain great cynic has said
that the role of the genial optimist is
often the role OF the genial idiot-the
man-that Is to say, who is engaged in
the su%perfluous occupation of selecting
a new style of wallpaper for the attic
in the home In which he lives. when the
basement is hopelessly on fire. None
the less there were a number of excel
lent reasons why Seton Hall men and
those who are not Seton Hall men, but
lovers OF that V~eneraDle institution,
| should take a very CHEEKY, not to say a
rosy, view of the immediate future of
seminary learning in America. There
was first of all that great old-fash-
toned virtue of loyalty, which made
them all jealous for the good name of
their alma mater
He said he knew many Seton Hall
| alumni, young and old. during the past
six years, and that he knew two of the
present generation of seminarians, and
could truthfully say that never in a
long educational career, extending now
over a quarter of a century, had he met
a body of men in whom that mys-
FERROUS something which we call
esprit de corps was more happily
developed.
The Rev. Andrew N. Egan, rector OF
st. Mary's Church, Bayonne, was elect
ed president of the alumni association;
the Rev. William A. Brothers, of Mont
clair, vice-president; the Rev. Isaac r
Whelan. st. Patrick's Cathedral, New
ark, treasurer, and the Rev. John A
Dillon, of Elizabeth, secretary.

WILL ENTERTAIN
NEW PROPOSITION
FOR LIGHTING
BelIeviIIe to Consider Giving
Newark Block Company a
Twenty-year Franchise.

In executive session last night the
Belleville Township Committee de-
cided to entertain a proposition from
the Newark Block Lighting Company
for a twenty-year franchise In the
township. This action was taken after
James NJ. Seymour, ir., representing
the company, had explained, at the in
v~itation of the committee, what his
company would do in the event of a
franchise being granted. The company
was brought into the case because the
township has been unable to get what
Public Service Corporation. A five-year
contract with the latter company has
been held up since last June, pending
the dispute between the township Of
ficials and the company.
1t is generally understood that the
Newark Block Lighting Company will
be granted a franchise, but it is also
probable that the contract with
the Public Service will have to
be signed. A public meeting will
be called before the contract is
signed, as. provided by law. If the
citizens favor the rejection of this con-
tract, it will mean that the township
will be without street lighting for at
least eighteen months, or until such
time as the Block Lighting Company
would be ready to furnish light. Legal
entanglements and the installing OF
their plant would probably cause that
much delay.

IN WEST ORANGE
Last Meeting of Party Body
Held Last Night in

REPUBLICANS NOW IN
CONTROL OF THE CITY
Large Amount of Business
Transacted, and Calendar
Is Cleared Off.

many Democrats will lose their jobs.
The feeling existing between Level
lyn Park folk and other residents was
shown when a request was received
from park residents that they be al
lowed to purchase a sewer on Llewenyn
avenue. Councilman Fentzlaff declared
he would never vote for it till the park
people allowed the avenue to be opened
up all the way.
Thomas Sullivan advised the Council
not to let the park people "eat the rest
of us up" AS there Is some question
regarding the ownership of the avenue
the whole matter went over.
Alexander Potter was given payment
of an old bill amounting to $3.50 for
acting as inspector for the town when
Orange laid it's new water main. The
amount will be charged to Orange, and
there Is a question whether the city
will pay because the figure Is consid-
cred excessive.
Edward Morris was appointed a
member of the Sinking Fund ComInis-
sion, and James Read a constable in
the Fifth ward to fill a vacancy. It
was decided to improve Llewellyn ave
nue., between Eagle Rock avenue and

Tho AnoIer Fish.

A singular superstition about the
angler fish is entertained in some parts
Of Sweden (Bohuslan), according to
Malm and Smitt. ut is so feared by
many that the tackle is cut as soon rs
the monster reaches the surface, and
Its captor hurrles home in order to get
there, If possible, before the misfor-
tune portended by the monster over
takes him." The extreme OF misfor-
tune-death-is believed by some to be
indicated. Nilsson tells that the Swed-
ish fishermen on the banks believe
that on board the vessel on which an
angler Is taken some one Is doomed to
die soon. They therefore never or
hardly ever take the angler on board,
but prefer't to cut the line and thus lose
the hook with the fish,"
An anemometrical faculty is attrib-
uted to the angler in Massachusetts,.
According to Storer, "among the fisher
men In some parts OF the bay there
is n common saying, When you take a
~goosefsh, look out for an easterly
Storm"

Glraldus, the early Welsh historian,
describes q family as sitting round

lying round it by night. But they
could have had little comfort from it,
for the same historian tells us that one

duty was to keep his masters feet
warm by c%herlshing them in his bosom
