Fencing For women.

Driving, rowing, bowling. tennis,
archery have year by year fallen into
woman's line of exercise. Each has a
large and enthusiastic following, and
also an army of critics, who are as
sured that one and all are too violent,
not to say unwomanly; that women
should not go beyond the modest toss
of graee-hoops, such as their grand
mothers enjoyed, or battledore and
shuttlecock, OF a quiet game of GRO
quet. With the athketigue of the new
school, these are mere A b Cpastimes,
and the use of the foils is the latest
addition to the real exercise list. If
one looks at fencing free from the
warp OF prejudices, it must be recog-
nized as a simple and thorough means
of exercise. 1t gives fiexibility, firm
ness, and grasp,to the muscules inland
and wrist. and also brings life and
pliability to the musclar cord-work
of the whole body. Every part
is stirred and tired and strengthened
by the varied and successive
movements. From the first poise and

Hand Across the Sea" mt the Academy.
The hairbreath escapes, the un-
merited sufferings, allopathic doses of
agony in general which Mr.. George
Frederick Nash experienced upon the
stage of the Academy of Music last
night would have killed or prema-
turely aged anybody but the hero of a
bounding British m~elo-drama.
Mr.. George Frederick Nash as Jack
Dudley supplied the central figure in
Hands Across the Sea- which is not,
as might be inferred from the title, a
poker play. As a scintillant example
of the Simms and Petit school it has
never been surpassed, and is con-
structed upon that simple dramatic
plan which these authors always en-
ploy. Vice, with a dress suit and a
cigarette pursues Virtue to the ac-
compartment Of s%paslnodic musical
cues through four galvanic acts. In
the fifth, Virtue gets the centre of
the stage and a special calcium, while
Vice is led away to a donjon kept by
an actor who was previously slain in
the third act, but who resurrects HIM
self and comes back as a minion of the
law, disguised in a pair of renaissance
whiskers.
The plain, everyday theatregoer,
however, insists upon having this kind
of thing. The more sanguinary and
fiendish the william. the better he
likes him, because he is absolutely GER
tain that said william will come to an
acid end before the final curtain falls.
Other classes of theatrical attractions
may come and go but melodrama
goes on forever and the manager who
is wise in his generation recognizes
this fact. Mr.. G. b. Jefferson comes
under this caption aud in his produc-
ton of Hands Across the Sea" he
presents an interesting play, admir-
ably acted and excellently staged.
But to return to Mr.. George Freder-
lex Nash. His performance of the
hero was a remarkable one in that it
radically differed from all the histri-
onic traditions attaching to such
roles. Mr.. George Frederick Nash
did not howl, nor rant, mol tear his
hair, nor roll his eyes nor his RS"
He carefully avoided the centre of the
stage and Stunned the calcium light:
he was quiet and natural; and his
methods were extremely refreshing
contrasted with those of the multi
tudinous young leading men who are
going about the country at present
giving bad limitations of John r.
Scott and Joseph b. Winter in their
palmiest days. Miss Edna Carey as
the heroine, also gave a meritorious
rendition of her role.
A comedian new to Jersey City fig
ures prominently in the cast. His
name is Charles Jay jackson. He
wears a new suit in each act, and in
the third he has to speak very loudly
in order t be heard above his trous-
ers. The audience liked him i'm
mensely and applauded him to the
echo.
There was much speculation as to
the identity of the young woman who
appeared, a merry milkmaid, in the
first act, a Partisan siren in the third,
and a trans-Pacific traveller in the
fourth and fifth. Her name did not
appear on the bills. but it should
have. The performance moved
quickly, and it was at an early hour
that the last curtain fell upon
Hands Across the Sea" and George
Frederick Nash.

self-Confessed scoundrels.

The sudden collapse OF at least two
of the election cases without any de-
Tense arouses enquiry why the ac-
cused rascals did not go into Court
when first charged and enter pleas OF
guilty. Have they put the State to
the expense of making its case
against them just and only that they
might have an opportunity to inter
pose the little, whimsical objections
that have been raised against the
form of the procedure? These self
confessed criminals will at once APP
peal to the higher Courts against a
verdict they themselves admit to be a
righteous one; give bail, return to the
places their masters have provided
for them in the public service, and
claim recognition among freemen,
while the upper court is celebrating
on sheir crimes.
2 Practically they say to the commun-
fly, Were guilty, but what are you
going to do about it," They laugh at
the efforts of the community to bring
them to the punishment they have
earned. There is an air of impudent
bravado about the whole pro-
ceeding that is little short of a fresh
crime In itself-a brazen defiance of
public sentiment, as though they
thought the people of Hudson county
were of their own kind, and had q
fellow feeling with them. They in
suited public decency when they
committed the crimes that brought
them TO the bar of the court. They
doubly insult public deceney by their
conduct while at the bar.
What an ineffable disgrace it is, TOO,
that these convicted and sentenced
felons-already robed by the law
in the stripes of the prison
garb-should be permitted to step
from the dock back into their
places in the public service.
They are constructiyely at least do
ing penance behind iron bars, and it
is as though the public business were
done within the walls of State PRISON.
Not a community on the face of the
globe presents SO demoralizing a spec
tacle-except Jersey City.
There is one consolation to be de-
rived, however, from these defence
less convictions The higher courts
will strain every possible point to
prevent the letting loose ON the com
munity again of a gang of rascals, who,
whatever their technical legal rights
may be. themselves confess that they
should be In the Stata Prison

Incidentally, there was made to the
public a strange revelation of the

surface of ice which has puzzled the
world there is a raging fire Of passion
at once the source of his private

rest of the world in this respect
that the cities would to local

the worst feature of the high
tariff is that the government
does not need the revenue: At
the close of Mr.. Celveland's
administration the surplus
amounted to over 100000, 900,
