MARSHALL. Prop Without Its Discomforts. LEON VINCENT'S LECTURE. He Telia an Interesting Story of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Life and Work. At Assembly Hall last evening Mr.

Vincent delivered his third lecture on American Literature, taking for 'his subject "Nathaniel Hawthorne." Mr. Vincent began his lecture by saying: "The lecture tonight will be more personal than any of the others. The man of whom I must speak now had a distinct gia called genius. It will not bo impertinent, therefore, to define genius." lie then quoted several eminent persons upon that dQfinition, and afterwards said: "Sublime simplicity is a characteristic of true genius. Modest, simple, unassuming, child-like ways are characteristic of genius.

The more airs a man puts on the less he knows." "Child-like simplicity and melancholy were two of Hawthorne's chief characteristics. Melanch6ly is not what we sometimes call the "blues" or "dumps" or disposition to pout. Take for example a boy a small boy. He has been crossed in some wish or desire of his. He has his revenge by projecting his lower lip.

That is only ugliness. But almost everyone has seen a child neither ugly nor happy, you have noticed in" its face that indescribable something which everyone of us understands as melancholy." To illustrate the value of melancholy Mr. Vincent said: "The poem, like the rainbow, is only drawn on a dark back ground. So melancholy is indispens able to poetic genius." "Now," continued this eloquent speaker, "keep tliese two points in mind while I establish the third point. First, remember, a man of genius is simple and child-like; second, melancholy; and third, that a man of genius is a common, every day kind of being." He then spoke of Hawthorne's practi cality and every day common life.

In this connection he said: "No matter how high a man may soar, he must come down to earth once in a while to get a good dinner or to pay his taxes." He then referred to Hawthorne's manly and athletic form, and his ex cellent grace of manner, and his voice which the lecturer said, was a deep, low one, very soft in conversation but capable of being raised to an extremely loud tone when necessary. After telling of Ilarthorne's great inclination to fight, and his ability to do so "when it was necessary or even superfluous." Mr. Vincent gave some interesting anecdote of that author's early life, speaking of his admission to col lege, and other noteworthy facts. In reference to Hawthorne's precocity he said: "He was always a child, always a man." Mr. Vincent clearly proved false the statement which some have made concerning Hawthorne's taste for liquors.

Though not a teetotaler, as few at that time were, he was never under the in-1 fluence of liquor. His "Scarlet Letter," said Mr. Vin-j cent, "was the greatest as well as the most popular of his stories." After telling the circumstance which prompted Hawthorne to write this story, the speaker gave in graphic and eloquent language, a picture from that book. He then said and explained that Mr. Hawthorne was a romancer-rather than a novelist.

In closing, Mr. Vincent said: "These three or four points must be kept in mind concerning Hawthorne: First, that he was intensely earthly and spiritual. Second, that he lived a lovely life, lovely in everything it pertained to. Third, that he was a romancer rather than a novelist, and last, that he was one of the three, possibly four really great American of letters. One whose fame will last while our literature lasts.

One whose reputation rests not on a scaffolding of fashion, but is ever substantial and sure." The last of this course of lectures to be delivered to-morrow evening, will be on Emerson. It is. surely a great privilege to hear this eloquent speaker, a lecturer thoroughly conversant with his subject. Of Interest to Flainfield Wheelmen. A strong effort is being made to.

have the national convention of the League of American Wheelmen convene at Washington, D. next June. The Western L. A. W.

divisions, especially Chicago, heartily endorse the movement as a number of them want to visit the capital city. The roads in Washington are the finest in the country. Should the convention open at this city in June the wheelmen will have an opportunity to visit Congress, which will be in session then. From active correspondence with a number of division officers it is learned that Washington is their choice. A financial committee of the district division is raising a guarantee fund of $2,500.

Henry II. Ragan, who is to lecture iifthis city on Tuesday evening, was a classmate of Mr. John Leal in Yale Col lege. He was also "class orator. The very complete and excellent ac count of the organ recital in the First Baptist Church, last evening, was written especially for the Courier by Charles B.

Brown, of North Plainfield! Fred. Williams, manager for the Mora Company, which is filling a week's engagement at Music I rail, formerly resided in this city, his mother owning a farm adjoining E. M.

MacClymont's Organ Eecital. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, an audience of over five hundred people was present at the First Baptist Church last evening, the occasion being a free organ recital given by the organist of the church, William E. MacClymont. Mr. Mac-Clymont was assisted by F.

A. Pollock, flutist, and P. L. Conde, violinist. The programme was opened with a Toccata in F.

major, by J. S. Bach. Musical people will recall that this was the difficult piece which Dr. Penfield rendered at the organ recital last year.

Mr. MacClymont deserves special mention for the masterly manner in which he rendered this composition. The flute solo by Mr. Pollock was given with much expression. Mr.

Pollock is a pupil of Eugene world- renowned tlutisr, and the enthusiasm of those present last evening proves the high estimation in which he is held, to be well merited. The Overture, Stradella, by Flotow, was followed by the "Evening Star" from Tannhauser. Mr. MacClymont rendered both of these pieces with much effect, especially the latter, which elicited hearty A feature of the evening was the violin solo by Mr. Conde, who played entirely from memory, the difficult composition "Souvenir de Hayden" by II.

Leonard. Mr. Conde showed himself a master of the violin, and in the "Cradle Song" which he gave as an encore, notice should be made particularly of the feeling with which it was rendered. After a Sonata da Camera, by A. L.

Peace, the registration of which showed Mr. McClymont's abilities as an organist, a trio lor violin, flute and piano. Nocturn No. 1, Opus 110, by I. Kuff-ner, was given.

This number was re ceived with much approval, and in re sponse to the continued applause the Ave Maria, by was performed, the harmony of which is' very beautiful. In conclusion, Home, Sweet Home, with variations, was played. In this piece the pedal duett and the grand fi nale demonstrated the performer to be a concert as well as a church organist Mr. Mac Clymont deserves the thanks of the Flainfield public for the musical treat which he generously provided last evening. It is his intention to give another recital in the near future.

That North Avenue "Joint." The so called North Avenue Club, which has been in existence for some time past, has disbanded, and the treasurer reports a total of six cents in the treas ury. Some months ago the Courier had occasion to allude to this place, and told how a promising young man had been obliged to leave his comfortable home because he persisted going there against his parents' wishes. The place was quiet for a time, but the police have been watching it, and on more than one occasion Imve seen enough to warrant pronounced action against it. Bed Ken at Somerrille. The amateur dramatic company of Miantonomoh Tribe Improved Order of Red Men, of this city, rendered a liter ary and musical entertainment in Som erset Hall, Somerville, Iast evening, for the benefit of the Methodist Church of that place, to a small but appreciative audience.

The various selections were so well rendered that the company was requested to repeat the entertainment at an early date. Tickets for the Ragan course of it lust rated lectures will be on sale to morrow morning at the Central Phar macy. One dollar and a half is the price for adults and one dollar for school children. for the big amateur dramatic and musical entertainment to be given at the Casino tomorrow evening, and those who have witnessed them are confident that the performance will achieve great artistic success, while the large demand for tickets seems to indicate that the financial results will bo equally satisfactory. Louis J.

Cornu, who is the leader of the orchestra at the Standard Theatre, New York, will supply the instrument al music, bringing his own musicians from the city for that purpose. A novel feature of the entertainment, and one that is likely to be appreciated by the audience, is that it has been so arranged as to be given continuously without any intervals between the various parts of the programme, thus avoiding those tedious waits which so often fatigue the spectators at amateur en tertainments. As already announced in these columns, the dramatic portion of the entertainment will consist of three short plays, rendered respectively by the Amateur Comedy Club, of New York, the Foot-light Club, of New York, and by our own local amateur actors and actresses. Between the first and second plays banjo solos will be given by Mr. George W.

Gregory, one of New York's most talented banjoists. Between the second and third plays Mr. Evert Janson Wendell, of New York, who is noted as1 a clever amateur comic vocalist, will sing a budget of comic ditties. In consequence- of the prevalence of the "grippe," the wise precaution has been adopted of having two persons ready to play each character. Thus, the enforced absence, through illness, of any members of the company, would not interfere in any way with a smooth performance.

Owing to the length of the pro gramme, the curtain will rise on the first play, "A Game of Cards," at 8 sharp. As there are to be no reserved seats, those who wish to secure good places should be on hand early. The door will open at 7 30. A few tickets are still on sale at the Uuion County Country Club (in the hands of the steward,) and also at Reynolds' Drug Store. "A Trip to Alaska." In choosing Trip 'to Alaska" as the theme for the first of Henry II.

Ragan's series of illustrated lectures, the first of which is to be given in Music Hall on Tuesday evening, Mr. Ragan has not only opened a new and undeveloped field for the stereopticon, but he has also' undertaken to enlighten the great American public upon a sab-; ject of which they are as wofully igno rant as they are of Patagonia or the land of the Hottentots. Starting from Colorado, Mr. Ra gan leads his interested audience along the route taken by himself, showing beautiful views of Shoshone Falls, the mighty Columbia River, and snow- crowned Mount Hood excellent views also of the rising cities of the Pacific coast, Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. Interesting accounts of the Totem Poles of Fort Wrangell, beautiful views of several ol the great glaciers of Alas ka; of the queer, huddled together towns, and of the native Indians; amusing incidents of travel; vivid descriptions of Nature's grandeur in this little known land, all makes one of the most interesting lectures of the course.

Mr. Ragan possesses a rich, resonant voice, of which one does not tire, a distinct pronunciation and fine descriptive powers. Tickets for the entire course of five lectures will be placed on sale at the Central Pharmacy tomorrow. Price $1.50. Fears of an Ice Famine.

The Elizabeth Journal says editorially concerning the prospect for an ice crop: "The annual worry about an ice famine has commenced, and there is good reason for it The Winter has thus far been very mild and open. No ice has been formed that afforded any opportunity for harvesting a supply. There is. of course, plenty of time if cold weather sets in, but cold weather does not seem to be setting in at any rapid rate. Even away up in Maine the rivers have been open for a longer period than has been known in many years, and while great blizzards have raged in the far West and moved eastward, when the cold wave reached the Atlantic coast it was a cold snap of a few hours' duration, but nothing else.

The prospects of an ice crop are not good at the present time." A Say of Special Prayer. In response to the request of the Woman's Board of Foreign Missions at Boston, that Thursday, the 21st inst, shall be observed as a day of special prayer for God's blessings on this work, a meeting will be held to-morrow af ternoon from 2.30 to 4. 30 o'clock, in the S. S. room of the First Baptist Church.

A portion of the time will be devoted to the work of the young ladies. An interesting letter will be read from Dr. Ida Faye. A large attendance of the ladies of Flainfield is desired, and an earnest plea is made that they win assist this cause by their presence to morrow afternoon. Damaging Evidence Against Mrs.

Cerro, Who is Now on Trial for Her Lift. The second day of the murder case now on trial in the Union County Court at Elizabeth, yesterday, brought out some damaging testimony against the ac cused. Vinzinio Sausa, a boarder in the same house where Lombard and Mrs. Cervo lived, testified that he was aroused on the night of the murder by a noise in the yard as of some persons quarrelling. He looked out of the window, and at that moment saw.Mra Cerve raise her arm and strike Lom-bardo twice with something on his breast The latter clapped his hand to the spot, gave a cry and ran out of the yard In the direction of the place where he was found lying dead.

Sausa, on cross-examination, said he could not tell what the woman struck Lombardo with. Pasquale Cevallo testified that Mrs. Cervo came to the house where he boarded after midnight on Oct 31 and secretly asked him to find her husband. Pasquale found her husband, Michael Cervo in a saloon, and when his wife saw him she said: "I had trouble with Frank Lombardo and stabbed him twice. Several other witnesses also testified.

The case is still on trial today. POLO AT THE SINK. A Hotly-Contested Game Between the Plain-field and Jersey City Teams Last Evening, in Which the Local Team Wins.

On the Anniversary of Her Son's Death. Margaret Dunn, aged 65, hanged herself at Elizabeth yesterday. Grief on account of the death of her only son, combined with an attack of grip, is sup posed to have made her insane. Her son was killed three years ago by fall ing off the roof of a barn. To-day was the anniversary of his death.

His two orphan children were being cared for by their grandmother. The woman had schemed her self-murder with a great deal of adroitness. She used two sheets. In the room adjoining she fastened one sheet and put the other end through a stove-pipe hole so that it extended into the room in which she slept To the first sheet she tied another, twisted and" formed into the noose which she put around her neck with the knot against her throat She was hanging so that she might have touched the floor with her feet, but she drew up her limbs and must have slowly strangled to death.
