GENERAL DI CESNoLA, director of the
Metropolitan museum of art in New York,
has just returned from a vacation in Europe
where he succeeded in securing for the mu-
scum two remarkable collections Of glass.
One is the Charvet collection Of antique
glass, known TO all connoisseurs througho ut
Europe, which was the result of 25 years of
patient labor on the part of Nj. Charyet.
This was purchased for $1,000 francs with
money furnished by Mr.. Henry G. Mar
quand The other is collection of Venetian
glassware, including specimens complete for
the last 250 years, which was presented to
he museum by Mr. James Jackson Jarves,
American vice consul at Florence. This col
lection is valued at $4,000, and with the
Charvet collection and what is already in
the museum will make beyond all compari-
son the most complete and valuable collec-
tion Of works Of glass ia the world. That in,
the British museum comes next in extent.
General Di Cesnola also procured, chiefly by
way of exchange for certain duplicates in
his Cypriote collection, over $50 plaster cop
les of the most famous statues in the Louvre
and in the art museums Of Berlin, Vienna
and Munich, which will be placed in the

May McCaHIer,s Renefit.

Those who were SO fortunate as to be
present last night at the testimonial benefit of
Miss May McCaWley at Willard Hall will not
soon forget the pleasure derived from the even
ings entertainment. Two pieces were presented
and exceedingly well rendered. The first was
Robertson's comedy, caste" and playgoers have
seen il not so well given by some professional
companies. The honors were pretty fairly divided
between Miss Fanny Bennett as Esther and Miss
McCawley as Polly. She is a very promising
amateur. Her conception and rendering of the
character was not only artistic, but truly gentle
and lady-like. Miss C. Levy the aristocratic
MdrquiSe de 81. Mdir was the acme of hGutt0R. Mr..

mention; he should enter the professional ranks !;
and Mr. II. Blackjack in the part of Sam Gdrridge
was provocative of conyulsiye laughter. and re-
ceiyed we'll earned applause Miss McCawley as
Polly was petite, piquant, and pretty. In the
afterpece the laughable farce, NAN, the Good for
Nothing" Mr.. Blackjack again distinguished him
self = Mr.. n. Beavens as Young Mr. Simpson was
simply immense particularly his mustache; and
Miss McCawley as Nun was, to use her own elegant
gernacular, "scrumptious.'' The orchestra was
excellent; the scenery and working good; the au-
dience good house of culture and fashion. The
benefit should be repeated in larger house for the

The New Jersey Republican State As
ISOLATION met last night at Soycreigns Hall, on
Eleventh street, Mr.. J. ". Starr in the chair. A
resolution adopted stating it was the sense of
the association that 81 the Central Association of
State associations ~ be recreated, with power to
take action upon the fact that many Democrats
were in Office, and that the Republican State as
sociations be requested to send delegates to a
meeting to be held February "a in Sovereigns
Hall for the purpose of recreating said central
association. Quite a long and interesting discus
sion was had in reference to- the action of the
association some time previous in regard to the
preference expressed by it respecting the contest
for Senator in New jersey. A resolution
was passed appropriating money sufficient to pay
the expenses of the committee sent by the assOcia-
ton TO Trenton and q vote of thanks was passed
to that committee A series of resolutions were
adopted calling upon the congressional delegation
from New Jersey to obtain Information from the
heads of Departments as 10 what employees there
are in said Departments credited to New Jersey
that those wrongly credited 10 the State, well
Democrats in politics, should be dismissed, and
Jerseymen and Republicans appointed in their
places, said information to be sent by the congress
sional delegation to the New Jersey Association
and by it to be forwarded to the State central and
central executive committees. Much discussion
was had on this subject. NIessrs. Moses Bradshaw
and ]. s. Patterson were elected delegates to the
central association of State associations Adjourned
