Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-The lone man among the
delegates to the convention of the
New Jersey Women's Suffrage Asso-
citation in the Assembly chamber at
the State House could not get the only
motion he had before the convention.
The steam-roller methods, to which
the chamber is so familiar, were put
into practice, and Henry Lockwood
found himself out of order. Mr.. Lock
wood, a delegate from the Dehart Club
of Jersey City, sought to have Mrs.
Dubois, of Bayonne, selected a dele
gate to the coming national conven-
ton at Philadelphia. He got on his
feet, and he stood there for some time
before the president would recognize
him. When he did finally g%et.recogni-
ton he told of the great work Mrs.
Dubois was doing in the Dehart Club,
and thought it a fitting tribute that
she be made a delegate to the conven-
ton.
Out of Order.
Mrs. Clara S. Laddy, the president,
told Mr.. Lockwood he was out of order
and that the nominations had been
closed. Mr.. Lockwood said the selec-
tons might be made by unanimous
consent, but Mrs. Laddy said, you
are out of order!" This ended the
participation of mere man in the work
of the convention. The convention
closed with an address by former
Sheriff Frank N. Sommer, of Newark.
Mr.. Sommer pointed out that women
were instrumental in forwarding the
establishment of juvenile courts in
this State. Mr.. Sommer continued
that it was not enough to be enrolled
in a woman's suffrage association. He
said the work should not stop there.
1t may involve publicity and notoriety
and a lot of energy, he said, but wom-
en- willing to bear this had his ad-
miration. MI. Sommer insisted that
the cry of the women for the right to
suffrage is not new nationalism," but
a matter of justice.
To Hold Street Parade.
1t was decided to hold a street pa
rade in Newark on the Saturday prior
to election in 1913. The officers elect
ed were: President, Mrs. Lillian F.
Feickert, Dunnellen; first vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. Mary L. Colvin, East Or
ange; second vice-president, Miss Ele-
Gebhardt, Clinton; correspond
ing secretary, Mrs. Annie P. Bovine,
Newark; recording secretary, Mrs.
Ellen L. Penrose, Mont Clair; treas
urer, Mrs. Anna B. Jeffry, South
Orange; auditor, Miss Bessie Pope,
Jersey City. Among the delegates
chosen to the coming national con-
vention in Philadelphia was Miss Alice
Paul. of Moorestown, who was Jim
prisoned in England for her participa-
ton in suffrage demonstrations.

Wilson at the White House before his
retirement.
No invitation has been sent to the
President-elect and no time set for the

labeled, "Thy will be done" A sense
of Gods sovereignty, and of his right
to decide what is best, and of the wis
dom of all of his decisions, must I'M
derlie all approach to the throne of
grace. The Gethsemane garden cry,
mot my will, but thine, he DONE" is
fundamental to the entire Christian
idea Of prayer. Stubborn self-will
can command no favors from heaven.
In the school of prayer the great
life lessons are learned. There it is
that a sense Of relations and proper
tons is acquired, SO that life is not dis
torted, with the nonessentials first and
the essentials last. 1t is a profound
education for any soul to grasp the
truth that God is on the throne of the
universe. Then all lesser truths and
facts fall into proper relationship. A
sense of humility and teachableness
follows naturally. One is brought IN
to spiritual fellowship with all the
family of Gods praying children as he
kneels before the throne; prayer is a
real school of brotherhood. The elu- |
sive peace which the world so vainly
pursues becomes the possession of the
one who enters often into the prayer
closet. Strength, wisdom, content
ment, power, all await the pupil in the
school of prayer.
There is a spot where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with
friend,
Through sundered far; by faith they
meet
Around the common mercy seat
There, there on eagle wings we soar,
And time and sense seem all no more,
And heaven comes down our souls to
greet.
And glory crowns the mercy seat"
Poise of soul is acquired In the
school Of prayer.
Every growing life needs periods Of
detachment. Come We apart" is the
masters word to all his disciples.
rfSSuOm AIOm uSpSuucuCo upon anu
ENHANCEMENT with the world is won
by him who goes apart to pray. In
this experience of isolation and medi-
tation he realizes himself. as well as
God. George Herbert's Injunction Is
wise:
by all means use some times to be
alone;
Salute thyself, see what thy soul
doth wear.
Dare to look within thy chest, for it
Is thine own,
And tumble up and down what
thou 1ndest there"
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-11-15
Blind unbelief In sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
GOD is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a ~frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face"
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-11-15

Affection understands what is mys-
ferrous to science. Loving trust finds
none Of the difficulties in prayer which
stagger the learned critics. To the de-
voted heart it is perfectly clear that
the great God who loves his own,
prizes their confidence and delights to
fulfill their requests. Because God is
God, and cares for his children with a
love passing that of an earthly parent,
he ful1lls to them all of the Offices of
a father.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-11-15

They get most from prayer who put
most into prayer, of time, interest,
faith and knowledge.

MRS. F. M. M'MAHON
Death Claims Foremost Resident, Who Died at
 Home Tn This City

In the death of Fannie M, widow of the late John H. McMahon at her home in State street at early hour this morning a woman of gracious personality and true charitable nature had covered an extended period but she retained her faculties until the final moment of dissolution. Her six children and other near kin were at the bedside when the end came peace fully.
 Mrs McMahon was known and loved by hundreds throughout this city who will not be slow to recognize that one who was indeed friend in need has gone over to the great silent majority. Her kindly disposition was proverbial and the circles which knew her best will miss the genial pres ence whose advice and companion ship was so much prized.
 Mrs. McMahon was a woman of keen business judgment and since the death of her husband handled the af- fairs of his estate in a. most admir- able manner. Much could be written of the innumerable acts of kindness and charity performed at her hands but in deference to her own oft ex- pressed wishes the silence which she so sp1endidly typified in her daily life with respect to these matters shall find no intrusion here.
 Surviving her in addition to ner brothers and sisters are six children Mrs. Joseph A. O'Brien, the Misses La1ly, Mrs. Joseph Gaynor and Miss Gertrude. Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at St. Angus tines church.

Attitude of Workers al U. M. c. Co.,, Was Calm Silence, Unpunctuated
 by Applause

Mir. Hill was hecsxled at the factory Of the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, today. He was interrupted several times Yes, really. There was some thing queer about it. It looked like stage hec5ling, and very much as if Mir Hills admirers had planted fel- lows here and there to make a row.
 It was very, very queer, but beau tifully done. There were the same two ous Hill meetings with a beautiful bit of dialogue, but lacking versatil- ity.
 One says, What about meat? 2"
 The other jumps to the front and says. Give him a show. Be an Am erican.'
 This is MT. Hills cue. At least it looked that way. Let me have fair play, boys was the burden of the congressman's speech
 It was all nicely timed and done in the best style of the political actors art.
 As matter of fact .ethe boys lis tened in almost perfect silence to MT HilpS speech until near it's end, when and took possession Of the meeting.
 The marked fact about this Hill meeting. like the other Hill meetings, was not the built to order give-us-a- chance-to say-fair play-heckling, but the eullen attitude of the some 300 men who heard the Congressman talk.
 Not a ripple or applause pl1nctuTed the remarks Of MT. Hill. A. tender half -nourished burst of hand clap ping there was. when he was intro-4 duced. but it visib1y came from the. touters who followed the Hill car, and was as spectacular and as lime lightly as the heckling, and ther fair play stuff

VINCENT NOTIFIED BY BULL MOOSE"
 OF NOMINATION
Third Party Adherents Lis ten to Congressional Can didate's Accepta n c e Speech.

Samuel E. Vincent, Bull Moose nom- lnee for Congress from the Fourth Congressional district, which comprises Fairfield county, was officially notified of his nomination at a gathering of Bull Moose of the county at the Strat- field this afternoon.
 The hotel today had as it's guests two rival candidates for the Congress siona1 honors, B. J. Hill. who is bat ting for his return to Washington, and MT. Vincent As MT. Vincent was entering the hotel he was greeted by Congressman Hill. who was just about to start out ton one of his noon hour factory speeches. The two shook hands and exchanged greet ingS.
 The notification committee appoint ed by Town Chairman George E. Mel jus, who was also chairman of the Congressional committee, comprised Gutzon Borg1un of Stamford, George Sheppard of Bethel, Mrs. Laura c. Williams of Greenwich, Irwin C.. At Shelton and Edward c. Nash of West port.
 Gutzon Borglun, chairman of the committee, made the notification speech
 Following MT Vincent,s acceptance speech a banquet was rendered to the committee and the delegates from the various towns in the county
 MT Vincent said:
 Tn this great country of ours, producing and consuming billions of dollars worth of farm products and manufactur articles every year, with natural resources almost unlin- tied, do we need to protect the farmer and the great producing forces, the la borers in our industrial plants, as we'll those who operate the indus tries, or do VIC want to allow the farmer and manufacturer of other countries to sell their goods in our villages and cities in the farming and mining districts, without paying a cent for such privileges? The free trader says. yes. let them come; let them produce goods cheaply they can and sell them on our streets and to our citizens as they see fit, except that occasionally we may be forced, on some of their products, to charge small sum for government expenses.

 The convention, which nominated Sulzer after q session that lasted well into today was one of the most re- imarkabIe in the recent history of tho state. His candidacy, ever since hr was ? member of the assembly ar Albany, has been persistent but eVerF time that he seemed to have the coveted nomination in his grasp. the traders have vetoed his selection. Year after year he has organized sf band of his own personal friends anu has tramped up and down the state organizing delegates for his use only to have them snatched from them when the decisive moment came
 The balance of the ticket was filled out in rapid order. The proposition for Democratic Republican biparti- san judicial ticket was rejected on ac- count of the fear of charges by the progressives of Barnes -DLurpllv com bination.

Pierpont Morgan told the C1app com mittee today that his $50. 900 contribu- ton to the 1904 Republican campaign war chest was made flor the good of the people and without any expecta- ton of any return
 Morgan-s assumption of the role of phiIanthropist came as the emphatic climax to a long series of questions as to the various financial and rail- road interests which contributed to the Roosevelt fund

 Interruptions from the meat inter ogator in the crowd came in like the entrance of the william in 8 well stag ed me1odrama.
 The sulo-viIlians began to quarrel over fair play.
 Mir Hill took off his hat, wiped the bubbling sweat from the top of a, shining head and made a pathetic appeal for that fair play, which he had had throughout.
 He paid Victor Berger, the Social ist congressman, whcle row of shin ing compliments. In language the most nattering he fell upon Berger's 8 neck He wept upon his shoulder
