plans for taking advantage of the en-
thusiasm generated during the meet

formulated and vigorous work for in
teresting the non-church-going men of
the Oranges in Christianity will be
outlined.
There were but three-score men at
last nights gathering. Mr.. Smith I'M
expectedly added another interesting
experience to his collection of unusual
situations. He had given narratives Of
his odd life and asked If any in the
congregation desired to ask questions.
He was promptly quizzed as to a good
plan to m ct strangers in church and
interest them in religion.
"Why, yes" said the speaker. sit is
chiefly a question of approach. One
good plan to meet a stranger Is to offer
your hand and when you shake his put
something in the grip. Now to illus

he extended his right hand. There was
an embarrassing pause of several Sec
onds, but the business man did not ac-
cept the proffered grip. and the speaker,
nonplussed, but not at all abashed, re-
sumed an upright position.
We'll, I've known people to shake
hands in church before" he remarked
drily, and continued his talk in the
laugh that followed. He returned to
the man near him and said. Now will
you take my hand this time?" and the
listener stretched forth his right hand.
The preacher shook it vigorously and

The speaker analysed the failure
some preachers have with men they
seek to enlist in the service of Chris

Gospel enough in them to convert a

familiarity with Bible passages and
Scriptural quotations to meet problems
of daily life. and asked employers to

DEATH SUMMONS
PRIEST At WORK
Thousands Mourn Loss of
Father McManns, Sacred
Heart Rector.

In the Church of the Sacred Heart
next Tuesday morning will be held the
funeral services for Rev. James Nc
Manus, the reverend rector of that par
ish, who died suddenly from heart fail
ure while at work in his study.
Although he was II years old, the
loved and respected priest had worked
splendidly for his parishioners until the
end. His death is mourned by thou
sands, not only in the Vailsburg Sec
ton, but throughout the city.
He was at his desk in his study in
the rectory of the church yesterday
afternoon when he was stricken by the
fatal attack. He had passed away be-
fore medical assistance or even his as
sociates in the priesthood could reach
his side.
In ST. Mary's ~Orphanage, not IA.
from the rectory, was Rev. Francis c
McHugh, of the faculty of Seton Hall
Before he reached the aged priest
study death had come.
Father McManus had not beer well
for some time. His indomitable will.
however, kept him up. Not until last
Sunday was 1t generally known that he
was suffering at ALL Even her he Off
ciated at the usual masses.
The annual euchre party under the
auspices of the Children of Mary So
ciety was to have been held in the
school-room last night. Father Nc
Manus had been greatly interested in
the entertainment.
Yesterday afternoon two additional
prizes were left in the school-room.
Although he had been under the doc
tors care for four days, the priest left
his warm study and walked from the
rectory across diagonalfy to the other
building. He looked at the prizes and
approved h arrangements that had
been made Then he returned through
the cold. A few minutes later he was
dead.
For twenty years Father McManus
was rector of the Church of the Sacred
Heart. He took charge of the parish
on October II. 1892.
Father McManus was a classmate
of Cardinal Gibbons at st. Charles's
College, Maryland.
When he was a boy his parents
moved to Paterson. That was his
home until he was so years old, con-
Quoting a private school. When he
reached the ~half-century mark he was
ordained to the priesthood. He had.
however, taught at Seton Hall College
for a short time before that.
In 1909. in large part through the
efforts of Father McManus, a church
n school were built to replace the
old building at the corner of South
Orange and Sanford He was
instrumental in raising $50, 900 for this
purpose.
At Christmas Father McManus asked
for a special collection for a new or
gan. He was delighted with a response
that far exceeded his expectations.
Rev. James A. Cloherty, a professor
in Seton Hall College, was appointed
by the bishop of the diocese to take
charge of the funeral arrangements.
Monsignor John A. Stafford. of Jersey
City, will be the celebrant of the high
mass of requiem which will be offered
the repose of the soul of Father
McManus In the church at 10 a. m.
Tuesday.
The Holy Name Society of the
Church of the Sacred Heart will meet
this evening to adopt resolutions of the
deep grief of the members at the death
of Father McManus.

TO RAISE SHAFT
FOR TOWN HEROES
Monument Unwilling to Be Fea-
ture. of Centennial Celebra-
ton in Bloomfield.

Pledges to the amount of $1,000 have
been secured for the erection of a
soldiers and sailors monument in con-
~nection with the centennial celebration
which will take place in Bloomfield in
June. This sumhas been pledged upon
the condition that the balance of the
SIS, 900 needed is raised by popular sub
scription. The Woman's Town m
provement Association, it is under-
stood, has about $1,000 to be applied
to the monument fund The $2'5Oo
pledged has peer secured by the sub
committee of the centennial celebration
committee.
The committee has learned hat a
suitable monument can be put up for
about Sc 5000. The plan of the commit
tee ia to have a monument to serve as
a memorial to all Bloomf1elders who
have served in any of the countrys
wars. No obligations will be assumed
by the committee until the entire sum
Is in sight. Inclusive Of the cost of the
monument the centennial cost will
reach about $40, 900.
The indications are that there will be
a great homecoming of former Bloom
felders and descendants of Bloomfield
ers during centennial week. The proba-
bility is hat the First Brigade of the
National Guard, 5000 men in line, will
parade. The Governor and other State
and municipal officials are to be
present.
The banquet committee is planning
for a banquet at which at least 1000
cover will be laid. The board of
Trade will assume the cost and will
probably Ak a price on admission tick
cts. 1t is proposed to use the new
High School for the banquet. The
school children's carnival will be one
of the features of the weeks celebra-
ton.

Instead of $50 an arc light, Harrison.
Kearny and East Newark will make
an offer to pay $40 a year to the Pub

ffrsnee last night Of the mayors and

street, this city, went to the home OF
Samuel Daniels, her brother-in-law. of

came to the surface. with the result
there was considerable excitement In

HE GOT SYMPATHY, BUT
HAD TO PAY THE FINE.

If John Weinberg had not called Bar
ney Goldberg a "goneff" it might have
been different. AS it was, the offensive
word started a fight and Weinberg was
punched severely. It all happened III
Goldberg's home, in Bloomfield. Gold
berg was a~rraigned before Recorder
Cadmus in that town on a charge of
assault and battery. The magistrate,
who Is 72 years old, told Goldberg he
would do the same thing II he had been
called such a name, and then imposed a
fine of $3.50 each.
Goldberg is wondering at the strange
Justice that deals out a fine with the
balm Of the judicial statement that the
Judge would do the same thing.

of the opinion that Benjamin s.. Orcott,

to the Public Utilities Commission of
the dangers to which the commuters
are daily put at both depots, is correct
in his claims, will be heard by Mayor
Gregory in his Office in the City Hall
on Wednesday morning at $3.50 o'clock.
Mayor Gregory believes that if Mr..
Orcott is right, and he has limitations
that he has not overestimated condi-
tons, the city should back him up In
his complaint to the Utilities Commits
sion. This will probably be lone.
