Miss Ro Sc Cogh1an in "FOrget-Me-Not."
A more praiseworthy performance thar
that of .Forget-Me-Notn given by Rose
Coghlan and her excellent company at
the Academy of Music last night has sell
dom been seen at that theatre. The play
was produced at Wallack's Theatre
several years ago, with Miss Coghlan IN
the role of Stephanie (Forget-Me-Not),
and the performance of the part last
night in no way detracted from the high
reputation she then won in 1T. The play
is exceedingly odd and peculiar, which,
while it repulses. at the same time las
~cinates, and from rise to final fall or the
curtain the deep interest remains I'M
broken. Their is in the play no scene, no
speech to move III either to tears or
laughter, yet it is at the same lime
so deeply interesting one scarcely
breathes freely until the play is done
Stephanie, subtle, scbeming and heart
less, is q mastery Interpretation by Rose
Coghlan, who gives to the part, all the
fascination, brilliancy and winning pow
ers that Stephanle really possessed, in
that fine dramatic style which has made
Rose Coghlan a favorite everywhere.
During the entire play there is no change
OF scene, all the events taking place at
Rome in 1869. The parlor setting was a
rare, neat and pretty one, and the cos
burning Of the parts costly and handsome.
AS Sir Horace Welby, John I. Sullivan
is worthy Of much praise. He played
the role with a style and finish rarely
seen nowadays. Miss Henlen Ban
croft was a very sweet and
gentle Alice Verney. The programme
was a smooth and careful one aud the
deathlike silence of the audience during
the entire play saw when applause was
occasionally heard was the truest

The Redistricting Ordinance-What
Democrats Owe Their Party.


The Redistricting Ordinancc-What
Democrats Owe Their Party.
We are amazed at the delay that has
taken place in respect to the passage
of the Encouragement of the Alder
manic Districts of this city. The mat
ter is so clearly one OF right and JUS
tice that there is no room for hesira-
ton or discussion. 1t ought to be
done and done at once.
This city is largely Democratic.
The party majority is at least twenty
five hundred clear. Not only that,
but almost every section of it is
Democratic in itself, the only quarter
about which there can be any reason
able doubt being the Bergen district
the Fifth Assembly district. All this
being the case, it is obvious
that the legislative branch of the city
government SHOULD have a Democrat
ic majority so as to be in consonance
with the majority of the population.
Alderman O,NeilI's Redistricting
ordinance seeks to accomplish this,
and no more. 1t is highly important
that it should be passed at this time.
The present unfair and injurious ar
rangement may give, for years to
come, a Board OF Aldermen at vari-
ance with the majority of the people.
Even worse, it may in the course of a
year place the Republicans in such a
position that they car redistrict the
city and so dispose the lines a to Sc
cure them a majority in the Board for
years.
Under the circumstances, it is the
duty of every Democratic member to
come to the front and vote for the or
dinance before it is too late. This is
not a matter of a year, but of indefi-
mite years to come. The chance lost
now, may never come again, and the
people may have to go to the Legisla-
ture for relief.
No tritiing matter, no consideration
of personal convenience, no political

patronage or other pap should induce
any Democrat to desert his party in
this important crisis. The justice of
the case is so obvious that every back
slider will become the object of sus-
picion. He may be clean in his own
conscience-or he may not-but in
either case the general public will be-
lieve that some improper inducement
must have been used to make him fail
in his duty at such a time.
We trust the matter will be settled
without further delay. At the meet
ing tonight, it is to be hoped, all the
Democratic members will attend and
will put the ordinance through with
bells on. If there should be
any recalcitrants, the other Demo-
cratic members should adjourn
to tomorrow morning, and then to
evening, and SO on to the end of the
term. They ought to give their coli
leagues unlimited opportunity to do
their duty, 10 that any failure may
be fully impressed upon the public
mind, and so that the Democratic vot-
ers may have ample opportunity to
gauge its motives.

right has he, what right has the COM

voted, and, above all, how does MI.

the voter has an objection to reveal
ing his vote, he is to understand that
he may be dragged by subpoena to the
Chancery Rooms-or perhaps to Tren-
ton-that he may be kept dancing at
tendance days, perhaps weeks, at the
committee meetings, with the threat
of attachment and Imprisonment in
the background.
This seems to us very evil, subvers-
i've Of all rules of justice. The reality
Of the threat is we'll known. Many
citizens have already been put to
great trouble, loss and inconvenience
by the Mud Machine. When they
expressed their indignation Mr.. Cor
bin has personally threatened them
with attachment and punishment.
He is a gentleman of determination,
and he has to aid him Senator
Gardner, who knows no scruples
when he has an end in view.
There can be little doubt that unless

shame them out Of their purpose the
two will take even more obnoxious
steps in the future than they have in
the past to worry and harrass the
Democratic party in this city.

BISHOP WIGGER ON MARRIAGE.

A Sermon Last Evening and Confirma-
ton Today at St. Mary's.
The announcement that Bishop Wigger
would preach at vespers at st. Mary's
Roman Catholic Church last evening had
the effect Of crowding the handsome edi-
fee to the doors. After the usual impress
sive ceremony of this church the Bishop
stepped into the pulpit. He chose for his
subject christian Marriage and Christian
Life" The Bishop pointed out the
advantages of a marriage according to
the Church. He said that after a truly
Christian marriage q truly Christian life
aus necessarily follow, he showed how
unhappy marriages had resulted from
unions outside of the Church. He dwelt
at length ON the Importance of mar
rage, and said it was one OF the greatest
il not the greatest events of a life time.
This morning ~ the eight o'clock mass
the Bishop administered Confirmation
and first Communion to 266 boys. 269 girls
and several adults. The mass was a low
one. Father Farrell was the celebrant.
The church was again crowded. The
Bows formed in line in the middle aisle.
They wore d regalia consisting of a sash
and roSette.
The girls formed in the side aisles.
They were all attired in white and each
wore q floral wreath.
At the proper time the children APP
preached the altar railing and partook Of
| the Blessed Sacrament. The ~adnlinistra-
ton of the sacrament consumed consid-
| cradle time. Afterwards the usual i'm
| pressive confirmation ceremony Of the
| Catholic Church was administered. The
| Bishop was seated on a throne inside the
| railing. AS the children came up in
| couples they knelt at the loot OF the
throne and We're duly confirmed.

THOUGHT HE WAS MAD.
How Daguerre's Invention Of Pho
Biography Was First Received.

What fact more commonplace to our
mind than the Photographic process
of portrait takingl Many Of us re-
member the original form of sun
pictures-the daguerfetype, speci-
mems of which, once in a while, we
draw forth from some UNEMPLOYED
drawer, carrying us back to the for
gotten days of childhood. 1t was no
further off than 1883 that Madame Da-
guerre, the wife Of the inventor Of h
process. had an earnest consultation
with one of the medical celebrities OF
the day concerning her husbands
mental condition. After aquaint-
ing the physician with the many
indications of Daguerre's mental aber-
ration, she added, with tears in her
eyes, that the concluding proof OF his
insanity was his absolute conviction
that he would succeed in mailing his
own shadow to the wall or in fixing it
on magical metallic plates. The ply
stefan listened with profound atten-
ton to this eliminating evidence OF
mental arrangement, answering that
he, himself, had observed in Daguerre
strong symptoms of madness. He
closed the consultation by advising
that her husband should be sent
quietly and without delay TO the well
known lunatic asylum, Bicetre. Two
months later the world of art and
science was stirred to its centre by the
exhibition of a number of pictures
actually taken by the new process,
Arago, in January, 1889, laid an &C

why Many women Fail.

The reason so many women of fairly
good features are so utterly uninter-
esting is, they think of little else than
the drudgery of their lives. Their
faces reflect only pastry and mutton
chops, wiggan and darts or invita-
tions and menu for lunch. The
drudgery of fashionable life is no
more elevating to looks or physique
than the cares of kitchen or nursery.
You women find nothing in life worth
living for but loneliness and love, and
suicidally put to death all that make
those things.-Shirley Dare IN Home
