AMusEMENTs.


Business is booming at the Academy
of Music, where Miss Cora Tanner, in
Buchanan's comedy of Fascination >
is drawing large and fashionable
audiences, that call the handsome
acaress before the curtain frequently
at every performance. Miss Tanner
has become very popular with ladies
who attend the matinees in large
numbers and become very enthusiasts
tic over her representations of Lady
Madge Slashton and Charles Marlowe.
Places are now being taken for this
week in advance, and after eight
o'clock at night late corners are very
often unable to secure good seats.
The presentation of woman
Against Woman at the Hoboken
Theatre last evening drew out a gen
erous audience, and if the theatre
going public had known what a really
strong and finished entertainment
was prepared for them, the capacity
of the house would have been tested.
The part of the husband was ably
sustained by Mr.. Edmund Collier.
Mr.. Collier has the advantage of an
admirable stage presence, a sympa-
thetic voice and a thorough mastery
OF the actors art.

The Kiss was a Cure.

A good story is being told about the
wife of a prominent gentleman of Scran-
ton who has long been a confirmed inva-
and bid far to lie there helpless the rest
of her life, and there seemed to be but
little the matter with her. Her husband,
who believed that her illness was more
imaginary than real, prepared a novel
test for her. He took their pretty colored
servant girl into his confidence, and by q
prearranged plan the two met in the in
valid's bed chamber. Ashley passed the
man reached out and, embracing the girl,
planted a fervent kiss on her black skin.
The wife's lost power returned to her at
once, and she jumped from her bed and
drove the girl from the house, She now
does all the homework herself with ease.

cause of this distrust among the bid
ders that offers were not made Mon
day for all parts of the work. The
Board of Finance has evidently made
up its mind not to let the work pro-
coed until it is started on a fair and
honorable basis; and the Street and
Water Board may as well do its part
of the business with a decent regard
to the proprieties first as last.

Ballot Reform VIII Come.

Our only competitor asks, Will

Why, certainly it will, Major; do
not fear. Governor Albeit has prom
Used it, and what he promises he gene
rally accomplishes. Pretty nearly
every member of the Legislature has
promised his help to realize it, too,
and SO it ought to go through with

We wonder at the doubt implied in
our only competitors question. Can
it be that it has secret intelligence OF
opposition to be made by the Repub-
lican Senate
Such a thing is quite possible.

The Kicker Kicked.

What a commentary on the whole
kicking movement is the expulsion of
C. D. J. Noelke from the so-called
J~effersonian Club of the Third Assem-
bly, District. This man was n of
the three ~ringleaders in the effort to
betray the Democracy of the State
and the county into the hands of the
Republican party at the last election
and now he is ANONYMOUSLY kicked
out by his late dupes for betraying
them.
As to Kern and Wankin, the other
members of the sweet triumvirate of
reformers, 1t looks as If they were
overtaken with a sudden fit of
modesty, for they seemed to have
crept into holes somewhere to hide
and pulled the holes in after them.
The rank and file of their followers
are trooping back to the standards of
the regular Democracy, and even the
New York Times is unable to put any
sort of face on the situation.
We would respectfully suggest to
Kern and Wankin that since Jersey
City has no further use for them they
might take their peculiar talents out
to Oklahama or some other place
where they are not known and grow
up with the country.

Cinderella at KessIer,s.


The Children's Operetta in the four
acts, by Franz Abt, was presented at Kess-
ler's large hall last evening, by the
children and young people of ST. Johns
Luthern Church. Before eight O'Clock
every seat in the hall and every squar
foot of standing DON was fully occupied,
and still came the rush of would be
spectators, until at last the committee
were obliged to close the doors, and
turned hundreds away with the assurance
that the operetta should be repeated
Friday evening, November %. The Rev.
Chas. e. Moldenke, pastor of The church,
directed the entertainment, and the one
hundred children who had been drilled
for the occasion by him and Mrs. Hen
kel-Neckar, presented a picturesque
sceue on the stage, and admirably rem
dered the choruses.
For some reason the names of those
sustaining the roles were not given on the
programme. The King, Prince, Courtiers
and ladies were elegantly costumeed, and
all enacted well their characters. Gin
derella was especially good, and her name
should lave been given to the audience.

NOTHING done in the way of street
cleaning for two months, and nothing
likely to be done for a month longer!
That's a pretty record for a city of
$50, 900 inhabitants. And that is just
the case in this city, as the street con-
tractor, who ought to know, puts it.
The trouble is that the old Board of
Works wasted so much of the street
cleaning appropriation in the begin
ming of the year, before the contract
was made, that not enough was left
of it to stretch over the rest of the
year. 1t is to be hoped that the
present Board will make the contract
for next years street cleaning
promptly on the opening of the new
fiscal year, and then see that the con-
tractor does his work.

Good Female Convicts.

oV0a
The best behaved female convicts are
the "lifers'--the infanticides, 'the star
women,'' i. e., the convicts who are in for
their first offence and who bean as a dis
tinguishing mark a star upon the left
arm. Here are the young women who
have preferred to destroy the lives Of
their infants rather h acknowledge
the sin and shame which had brought
them into being, who had been caught
red-handed, tried and sentenced, not a lew
of them escaping the gallows by a hairs
breadth.
They are the best of prisoners at Wok-
ing, as elsewhere, many of them truly
penitent women. han ks to the minis
trations of the chaplain and the priest

and they are very often trusted implicitly
by the authorities in kitchen work, and

These infantcides are really branded or

advisability of this and to speculate as to
the various reasons for thus publicly
branding the blacklist of the sheep, but
we do not learn that there is any protest
anywhere against the rule, and in all in
stances it appears to work satisfactorily.

The Sex ana Books.

The Sex and books.
Why is it that the books in the house
usually belong to the men? asks a cores
pendent of the Cleveland Press. Married
women seldom accumulate them, but
speak of the room used for reading n
writing as my husbands library" And
verify, it Is his. The outer roOms OF the
house the husband and wife ENJOY IN
common, but in this the wife abd1cates
all ~right-except the right to keep 1t in
order. Perhaps there is a shelf in some
corner where she has tucked away a row
OF school books-a French grammar, a
botany, q universal h~istory-rellcs of her
seminary days. These she dusts care
fully, and touches ca~resslngly as she
passes; opens one, perhaps, to the. page
where the four-leaved clover is pinned.
She was accounted intellectual in tnat
day. But where are the books she then
planned &c, read, the novelists who were
to amuse, the poets who were to soothe,
the philosophers who were to help her
to live nobly, the scientists who were to
assist her in applying classified know

here-and she signs as she proceeds with
the busting,
Women have many temptations to
spend their small change, not for tobacco
or at the bar, but for bits of bric-a-brac,
trifleS for personal adornment, embrold-
cry, silks and table delicacies. Some
women may shop three times a week and
leave none of their money at the book
sellers unless they buy books for gifts.
To such all books are alike. They care
not for differences in quality of paper or
size of print, and so long as the binding is
pretty no matter if ii be not durable. The
experience of buyinga book TO read would
be quite novel with many women. The
libraries of the city furnish them with
enough for their leisure hours. We're
they willing to sacrifice some of the
luxuries which they have come to %

shortly accumulate a library of fine quail
ity if not of generous size. Surely n

associate with these fair faces and grave
looks the awful crime for which they are

RAILWAY Taxes.

The State Board of Assessment has
finished its years work upon the rail-
ways, and we find that the result is
ST., 1923, los. 55 to be paid into the public
treasury, on a total valuation of $780,
$40, 1874 upon railway property. OF
this sum, 1908, $50. II is to be applied
to State uses, while 1891, 757. rs goes to
the local purposes of the several dis
tricts.
If Leon Albeit had not served the
State as Governor, and had not fought
his famous fight for equal taxation,
not one cent of this amount would be
paid into the public treasury, and
the deficiency which would have re-
suited should have been paid by
private taxpayers out Of their own
pockets.
Let us further reflect that the
amount levied this year is not much
more than half of what the railways
ought properly pay. Then some idea
will be formed of the good practical
reasons which existed why Leon Alb
bett should be reelected Governor,
and not General Grubb who was the
tool Of General Sewell, who is in turn
the tool Of the greatest of the railway
corporations.
