weeks ago. but 1t was decided not to

point a water commission, which was
particularly desired. s
The officials were given the chance at
the last meeting. when Councilman Lee
offered a resolution for the appointment
of a water commission of three mem

ton decides in the Affirmative. The
only way commissions can be abolished
then is by vote of the people.

ORANGE VALLEY
CHURCH TO HAVE
FINE NEW HOME
Plans Prepared for 500, 900
Structure Show Much Archi-
tectural Attractiyeness.

Ground will be broken this spring for
the handsome new church of Our Lady
of the Valley, in Nassau and Valley
streets, Orange. and plans for the new
edifce indicate that the building will
be an important addition to the attract
i've and substantial church structures of
the Oranges, The Rev. John r. BoyIan,
rector. has announced that bids on the
work will be received at once. The
plans for the building were display at
the present church yesterday.
The new church will cost $100, 900, and
will accommodate LOO people. The
problem of caring for the big congre
CATION of the valley parish has Deer a
hard one. The present little parish
church is insufficient. not only in seat
Ing capacity, but in ventilation and
heating arrangements, although Father
Boylan has managed to make the old
building pretty comfortable. in spite of
manifold drawbacks.
AS the third Of a series of parish
buildings. the Lyceum Hall and fine
new rectory having preceded the
church, the building will give to the

lures. The school quarters are still of

classes are pretty well housed, and the
completion of the new church and salts
faction Of the financial obligations in
Cured will doubtless occupy the parish
resources for some years to come.
Father Boylan. by his indomitab Bile
energy. has taken along successfully
the idea of getting better parochial
houses, and his earnest efforts are be-
ing heartily seconded by his people.
The present church was formerly a
congregational house of worship, and
was later purchased for a Catholic
parish. Its interior is not suited to the
needs of the church, the narrow aisles
being particularly an objection.
The church viii be built on the
Spanish mission style, and will be
unique in this portion Of the country.
The exterior will be of notified gray
brick, with gold trimmings, over q
steel frame. The length of the
church win be It's feet, the width of the
main portion IS feet and the width from
tower to tower so feet. The roof. similar
that of the new rectory recently COM
pleted, will consist of red tile; the floor
of Mosaic work.
A feature of the church will b. sew
commodious rooms for mems and

will be all of iron, and the vain

NO DISORDER At

J There was no need Of police protec-

An interested and attentive audience
composed of as many men as women
listened to the ~suffragettes and at no
time was there the least disorder. The
first speaker was Miss Helen Murphy.

way Jail. London, with others who were
arrested for participating in the rushes
on Parliament. She is too modest to
speak of this herself. and | want you to
know she is a woman willing to endure
hardships for a cause she believes in.
Mrs. Wells is a forceful speaker. and
has her subject well in hand and ready
to meet n argument or answer any
questions"
She said: DO you care because you
are taxed without representation and
compelled to obey laws passed without
your consent? Do you care that you
are not free citizens of a free republic.
but occupy politically the position of
slaves? Do you care that a different
standard of justice and fair play is set
up for women and men politically, eco
nomically and socially, and it is always
the woman who suffers and who pays?
You see on every hand the horrors of
child slavery, the economic marriage
sweated labor, the bread-line. intemper-
ance and the white slave traffic. The
laws properly framed and honestly ad-
ministered can do much to remedy these
evils.

that the homes and children also are

the starving child, these are national
responsibilities, they are individual re-
