After the battle was decided and the
crowd had retired asked Senator Glib

never saw anything more uobler in nv
life," said he. The room was full Of
people. Mrs. Bigley, who sat through
the session, came in. She put her
arms around her husbands neck and
kissed him. John said she, you've
lost it, but the wonderful love and ap-
probation shown you by your good
friends is more to you than the Ssua.

through the columns Of your paper to de-
fend myself from the gross injustice,
hesped upon me in q card purporting
TO be signed by four members Of the
Board OF Deacons Of Delaware Avenue
Church.
In that article or card, am repre-.
sented, as q disturber Of the peace at
Delaware Avenue church, and as part
ly responsible for the disgraceful pro-
cesdings which occurred there on Sun
day morning last. Whatever excite
ment thore may have been, was caused
by oveI-zealous partisans who eLdeav-
ored to strengthen their case, at the
expense of christian courtesy, and at.
tempted to intimidate one who differed
from the pastor, and dared to speak his
convictions.
II it BE- q crime to calmly and quietly
raise my voice in opposition TO the ex-
ereise OF sort Of "gag law" frequently
resorted to, then | am guilty Other
wise not. Alter being member Of
Delaware Avenue church, for ak years,
| challenge any member to produce the
slightest evidence showing either direct
or indirect antagonism on my part TO
the pastor or his work. s. L. Pryor.

MY PARTNER.
the Performances Given NJ thR
Opera Iaeslee last EvenfDT.

"My Partner" was presented at the
Opera House, last evening, the audience
being large and composed chiefly Of the
leading families of the city. The
drama was very interesting and was
we'll rendered. The plot Is briefly as
follows Two miners, partners in
search for gold, each unknown to the
other, love the same girl, q daughter
Of a peniless English gentleman. In
course of time the Older Of the two
partners, by overhearing a ocnversa-
ton, learns that his partner has be-
trayed the affections Of the girl, and
taa: she had LEFT her home, and that
he refuses 10 make amends 10 her for
the wrong he has committed, in the
only honorable way--by marriage. He
then extracts from his partner prom.
ise that he will marry the girl, and
then deciding to go away, they divide
the fruits OF their toll. Each takes his
share, and as their friendship has been
30 fond, their separation Is very bitter
and etfecting. After he is gone, the
villain Of the play, who is an enemy to
the father of the girl, enters the room,
where.he ia still brooding over the part
ing with his friend, al d tells him some
lies which are promptly resented, and
in the struggle he receives his death
blow with knife in the hand Of the
villain, who seizing the gold on the
table leaves the room. The other
partner returns just TO say farewell to
his friend, and finds him dead. The
villain, followed by miners, rushes in
to the room, and the partner is accused
Of the murder Of his friend-the real
murderer being his chief accu5er. he
is tried. and, indeed, the circumstan-
tial evidence is strong against him,
and while the Jury of miners ara de-
liberating on his fate he asks leave
| (Which Is granted) to go and bid fare
we'll to the girl he loves. he finds her
lust as she is being spurned by her
infuriated father, and with his noble
heart he saves her from disgrace. He
tells her father that they are married.
The father wishes to see proofs, which
of course can no. be produced, but his
incr edulity i5 satisfied by her saying
that they will be married again. A
Chisese servant then comes into Court,
and shows q bloody cuff which had
baen Lost by the villain, which proves
the innocence Of the accused, and the
play ended by happy marriage.
Louis Aldrich took the character Of
Joe Saunders excellently. His repre-
sentation was intensely real and inter
estisg, and he was repeatedly applaud,

and created considerable amusement.

Mordaunt, was very interesting and

acter5 were well taken.
