Miss Carrie Van Booskirk filed q petition
in the Superior Court yesterday morning,
asking the Court to legally separate her
from Albert Altner, who affirms that she
is his lawful wife, and on remarkable
grounds.
Carrie has been a resident of the city for
upwards of fifteen years and is well
known. A few months ago she developed
a fondness for the stage and in due time
with the Babel-Albertus Specially and
Comedy Company, a transforming ag-
gregation playing in small towns and
villages. Albert A1tner was a member of
the troupe and played star parts as the
hero, with Carrie as one of the leading
ladies', and this combination led to the
trouble that Is now in the courts.

Maggie Mitchell, who has delighted
her audiences for so many years, will
appear at the Academy of Music to-
night in her new play, Ray" written
expressly for her and which has been
received with great appreciation
wherever produced. Miss Mitchell
was never more winning than as Ray,
the wild and hayward wait, and her
pathos and lifelike portrayal of human
nature appeal directly to the hearts of
her auditors. She will be supported
by Mr.. Charles Abbott and her own
efficient company.

Chances over the report, which we
publish in another column. 1t is sat
isfactory to know that under the act
of the recent Legislature, the same
gentlemen will be entrusted with the
completion of the scheme.
We notice with regret, however, the
resolution to close the new parks after
shutdown. Pleasure grounds of this
sort are designed for the poor not the
rich, and they are as inaccessible to
the poor during the busy hours of
daylight rs if they We're in the Adiron-
dacks.
We are aware of the police objec-
tions that may be raised to opening
them at night; but these are easily
offset by a good system of lighting.
1t is true that light will cost money;
but what is the use of an economy
which renders the great expenditure
involved in buying and adjoining the
parks futile SO far as the vast body of
the people are involved.

Another Triumph scored.

The wonderful success of THE JER-
sEY CITY NEWS extra on. Tuesday was
repeated yesterday, when the sales of
the paper were, if anything, a trif1e in
excess of the preceding day. This
great increase has been due, of course,
to the intense public interest in the
important legal proceedings which
have been in progress.
The people of Jersey City recognise
that this is the only paper in the com
munity which handles big events in
the metropolitan spirit and according
to metropolitan methods. The sec
tional stories of our only competitor
are meager, confused, and exasperat-
ing to the last degree. Our full, clear,
well written, and, above all, connected
reports are just what readers want.
1t may be accounted a certainty
that we shall always handle events of
surprising interest in the same way,
sparing neither pains nor expense to
treat them extensively for the public
benefit.

in a group of friends.
James 1856 Clarke at once replied

MAYOR CLEVELAND scored adouble
hit at the meeting of the Building
Trades Council last night. His pro-
test against the mixing up of politics
with industrial concerns was timely
and iudicious. The good sense of
bodies of intelligent workmen is al
ways to be trusted, and the Mayor
did his hearers no nor than justice in
appealing to their good Judgment
He found the entire great meeting in
sympathy with him.
Putting aside his remarks on organ
i~zation, in which he simply sounded
the keynote Of the entire occasion, he
made another excellent point in cen
surfing that cutthroat competition
among capitalists, of which their en-
ployees are the ultimate victims.
Probably industrial organization is
as yet in it's infancy, and there may be
reason to hope that the time will come
when, in protecting themselves, capt.
talists and laborers alike will see that
their best policy is to protect each
other in addition.
