ROCKEFELLER, R., SPEAKS
Tells Bible Class How to Cure a
Horse of GreedineSS.
DEFENDS BUSINESS WORLD
Tells Hearers if They Knew Cir
cumstances They Might Not
Blame Supposed Wrongdoers.

The members OF the Rockefeller Bible
class at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church
learned yesterday how TO cure horse or
greediness. John u. Rockefeller. ir.. told
them how 10 do it. He did not state
whether or not the treatment was his own
invention, hut he said he had tried it on
one Of the horses at the Rockefeller
stables with most gratifying results
This horse, Mr.. Rockefeller explained,
was a very good horse in every way eS-
cept that he bolted his food 10 such an
extent that his health was endangered.
The men in charge OF the stables tried
many ways to break the horse of this bad
habit.
at length" said Mr.. Rockefeller. we
hit upon the happy idea of putting a
stone In his feed box. This simple expe-
dent has accomplished the desired re-
suit"
IL was tho first tire in several months
that Mr.. Rockefeller had addressed the
class. and tie announcement that he was
TO lead at YESTERDAYS session brought
such big crowd that many persons had
to stand. His subject was not horses.
He merely mentioned the greedy horse TO
illustrate a point In his address. Refer
ring 10 sreediness among human beings.
Mr.. Rockefeller said

commercial travellers devouring their food

JERSEY REPUBLICANS SURE
Confident of Majorities in Both
Assembly and Senate.
TEST FOR NEW BALLOT LAW
Each Candidate Must Be Voted
for Individually-Many Sur
prises Looked For.

from the Regular Correspondent of Tho Tribune. }
Trenton. n. j.. Nov. 5.-An apathetic
campaign came To close in New Jersey
last night with both the Republican and
the Democratic leaders issuing optimistic
statements regarding the results Of Tues
days election The Indications however,
point to the election OF n Republican ma
jorty In both the Assembly and the Sen
ate, although the contests for tho Senate
in both Camden and Salem counties will he
exceedingly close
To capture the control Of the upper house
the Democrats must win IN both of these
counties, while the Republicans have 10
win In only one hut the indications favor
the election Of Republicans In both OF them.
Some shrewd political observers have hes-
itated 10 prognosticate on the results Of
Tuesdays election, not alone because OF
the apparent apathy throughout the state
but also because OF the fact that the Mas
sachusetts ballot will be used for the first
time at a general election i'm New Jersey.
Under this form of ballot each candidate
must he voted for individually, and be-
cause of this fact II is held that some sur
prises will result from the coming election
Under the old ballot II was comparatively
easy to vote for all the party candidates
without having to read the ballot This, II
Is pointed out, may produce some unlocked
for results.
At the present time IL looks as though
the Assembly will be made UP as follows
Neutrality-suspicious.. Passaic, Bergen
Camden. Union. Atlantic, Morris, Mercer
Gloucester, Cape May. Burlington. salem
Cumberland and Somerset, total OF
twenty mine.
Democrats-Hudson. Hunterdon. Warren
Sussex. Monmouth. Ocean and Middlesex,
a total of twenty-one.
The Senators elected, according 10 the
outlook to-day. will be as follows:
Republicans-EsseX. Union somerset
Gloucester. Camden and Salem, total OF
six
Democrats-W Warren, with a possibility OF
Monmouth.
There are six holdover Republican Sen
ators and seven Democratic holdovers.
Even the most optimistic Democrats
concede the election OF Austen Colgate in
Essex. Carlton B. Pierce in Union ana
William w Smalley III Somerset, but the
supporters of the Governor are predicting
that Democrats will be sent to the Senate
from Salem and Camden.
