slater On" Mt the Academy.

Standing room only was the order
of things at the Academy of Music
last night by the time the curtain rose.
Every one in the city appeared to be
anxious to see Hallen Il Harris Later
On" and not one who had that good
fortune had reason to regret it. 1t is
a play with the shallowest sort of a
plot, but then a plot is not needed,
there is so much else that is good.
Everyone laughed from the beginning
of the first act until the close of the
third and last, at the new gags and
witticisms and funny Developments.
The newest and best appreciated
gag was the placing of Collector
Paddy OiNeill in nomination for Presi-
dent of the United States.
To say that Fred Hallen and Joe
Hart sustained their reputation tor
amusing would be to place it mild.
Their inimitable duet, $50 Did ~
their burlesque ON English lords and
their parody on 'Comraden and the
hundred other rich things they did
were greeted with universal applause.
They were ably assisted by Mark
Murphy, as Sheriff Bandana Clutch,
who delighted all by his Irish Poker
Club and his experience in an ele-
vator out of repair. The singing of
Mr.. John E. Wade, Harry Hilton,
Samuel p. Cutter and George O'Don-
nell was very good. Miss Annie Lewis,
as ''Pansy Weed" did some excellent
dancing and remarkable kicking.
The other characters in the comedy
rendered a fair support. The play
is well worth attending, if one desires
to laugh away the blues.

What Is Worn.

Handsome buttoned boots for
dressy afternoon wear are made of
glove kid, with wide foxing OF patent
leather. They are cut in English
fashion, with pointed Piccadilly toes,
perforated across to give straight tips,
and are also perforated around the
foxing. Similar boots, with French
calf foxing and low heels, are worn by
athletic young women when taking
long walks. For general wear are
thick soled boots of malt kid, with
low vamp of glossy French kid, and
broad patent leather tips. For winter
are laced boots of French calfskin, cut
high about the ankle, with low vamp,
perforated tip and low. comfort
able heel. Very stylish slippers of
patent leather have the pointed Pic
cadilly toe and q pointed flap on the
instep hold by a stray and buckle;
for dress these slippers have the high
Louis Quinze heel, but those for home
wear have low heels. Straps over the
instep are on other stylish slippers,
and the Pompadour slippers have a
wide tongue and buckle of cut steel,
silver, gold or Rhinestones.
Low cut slippers are still very popu-
lar in French kid, patent leather and
in undressed kid Of white, black,
pearl, gray and tan shades. Satin
slippers and low Oxford ties are stud
ded with steel or jet, or embroidered
with fine beads in small sprays, stars
or heurs-de-lis. Quilted satin slippers
or low shoes are worn in the morning,
in colors to match the breakfast dress.
Toilet slippers and mules are made OF
Suede kid or of quilted satin, with
sharply pointed toe aud French heel.
To wear pointed toes with a degree of
comfort the shoe must be longer than
the foot. and long shoes give the feet
the slender appearance which is now
sought.-HGrper'S BdzdT.

Robert Davis. Rebel and Traitor.
1t is in order for the Democratic
County Committee at its next meet
ing to appoint a committee to inves-
tigate the charges Of party treachery
and rebellion against Robert Davis,
ex-Sheriff and ex-Boss. These charges
have now been published in almost
every newspaper circulating in this
community, and for days they have
been on the tongue of every citizen as
a matter OF general rumor. The scan
dial has become go great that there is
no suppressing it and If Davis has
one particle of self respect in
his composition he win either
resign from the committee, acknow-
Lodging his guilt, or else he will de-
mand a rigid investigation for the
purpose of clearing himself. The
only trouble about latter course is
that over fifty witnesses heard him
make the speech outlining his future
political purposes, and it is not pos
sible to juggle with the facts.
Robert Davis stood up in the midst
of a semi-political gathering last
Thursday evening and made politi-
cal speech. In it he bitterly assailed
the leader of the State Democracy,
the Governor of New Jersey, because
he was not the compliant tool of the
Hudson County Ring. In company
with the Governor, Davis attacked
three other Influential Democratic
leaders because they are believed to
be in sympathy with the Governor in
his general views on public and party
policy. Davis applied insulting cpl
thets to these four prominent and
distinguished citizens, and bluntly
and emphatically in his own coarse,
vulgar way, declared that he and his
immediate following We're going to
''wipe up the floor with Them next
fall.
OF course this expression can only
mean one thing. 1t means that Davis
and his gang will oppose the Demo-
cratic party at the polls, openly or
secretly, and will defeat its candi-
dates and seat their Republican OPP
ponents. Here is an open defiance of
principle, OF party feaIty, of loyalty
to accredited leadership, which has
never been surpassed in cynical dis
regard of decency. 1t cannot wen be
given the praise of courage. for the
u~tterance was the mere product of a
temporary loss of self restraint. 1t
was the imprisoned thought, the re-
pressed malice taking advantage of
the unlocked gates of speech.
Now, the question is will the Demo
cratic party leave it in the power of
this petty traitor and rebel to carry
out his plans. 1t is an outrage on the
party throughout the country that
this should be permitted. 1t is a pub
lie duty to scourge such fellows out Of
the field of honest politics which they
corrupt and contaminate. Mr.. Bob
Davis ought to be made an example.
He has been dragging the party
steadily to ruin for the past two years.
Now that he adds treachery to his
other crimes, it is time to make am end
of him.

will be worn outside the sleeves again.
The gauntlet and mousquetaire
shapes, both slightly modified, will be
the gloves most in vogue. The latter
is furnished with a broad welt and a
couple of buttons to make the task of
putting on the glove easy. Russian
leather gloves are and will be in much

colors leather and brown and wine

How to Train Our Girls.


To inauguarate an economical fash
ion is well; only let it be n of pre-
vention, not of cure. To rear a girl
in absolute dependence, good for
nothing, selfish in her aims, and exact
ing in her demands, is a sin against
the daughter, and against society. To
begin at her birth to economic and
retrench in every department for
the accumulation OF honey that
this monstrous perversion of her life
may be accomplished and maintained
is grotesqae and heathenish. Girls
thus trained will fail of attaining a
high order of womanhood. Their
aims will be petty, their ideals low
and nothing very excellent can be ex-
pected of them in wifehood or mother
hood. Let the reform already inau-
gurated be made fashionable and be
carried on. Let Us begin the system
of economy that will pre- vent
the evil which our author only
proposes to cure, and by an utterly
inadequate remedy. While we care
fully guard whatever is womanly in
u daughters, let them be trained to
more of fibre and irmness. Educate
them to self-denial. if pecuniary Cir
culnstances demand it, and not TO
self-indulgence. Accustoin them to
be OF service in the household, t re-
gard economy as p~raiseworthy and
ven heroic, and to add to all their
other accomplishments a practical
knowledge OF work and the possession
of some lucrative vocation or indus
try by which they can support Them
selves. Such girls, when portionless,
will carry to their husbands dowries
in themselves.-Mrs. Nary a. Li0eT-

out at the ladies' entrance, go into

wish someone sen from the Office to
you. Tell whoever exactly
what kind of a room you want. and
ask the price of it. Give him your
name to register, and remember,
while you are alone in q public house
it IS not wise to dress in any except a
quiet way. No trouble about order
ing your meals should be experienced.
as the bill of fare shows exactly what
is served and you can take your
choice.
AS to tipping" you will certainly
give a small tip to the porter who
straps and locks your trunks for you
and to any bell boy in the hotel who
shows you some special service. If
you are only there for a few hours it
is not necessary for you TO tip the
waiter, nor the chambermaid. unless
she also should do some act of kind
ness for you, such as brushing your
gown, getting the piece of soap that
you have forgotten, or putting a
stitch in a ripped frock. Although it
is not pleasant to be alone, still | do
firmly believe that n well bred girl
and an understanding mind a go,
without any trouble, from California
to New York and receive nothing but
courteous attention.
The dont's are these:--
Don't dress loudly.
Don't make any acquaintance on
the car or in hotels.
Don't sit alone in public parlors.
Better by far stay in your own room
and read, than make yourself an OBJ
iect of comment.
Make up your mind to be courteous

will be like Chevalier Bayards to you,
and all women will give you what you
