ADJUSTMENTS.


An Accomplished Swordswoman.
The admirers of Rose CoghIan, and they
are many, will be treated to a novelty
when their favorite actress presents her
new play, 'Jocelyn," next week at the
Academy of Music. Hitherto they have
seen Miss CoQhlan in sentimental or
comedy roles. The heroine of .Jocelyn"
is pre- eminently athletic. She not only
shares the outdoor sports of her brothers,
but actually fights a duel with the arch
villain of the piece and kills him. In
order to meet the rather trying require
nents of such a role Miss Coghlan,
during the summer vacation, en-
gagged in a severe course of phvsi-
cal training, which consisted of a
swim in the surf, long walks and q
fencing lesson every day. The result is
she is now in complete physical condition.
She does not carry an ounce OF surplus
flesh and is as supple and graceful as a
well trained racehorse. Her fencing les
sons have made her poise perfect and
nave left her wrist and arm as strong as a
mans. 1t is her ambition to be able to
fight a real duel with swords, and to have
the prowess to win in such a contest.
The play assumes that she is an expert
swordswoman, and she desires to create
the impression that she kills the villain
by superior strength and skill rather than
by any stage trick.

to do some clerical work in eonnec-
tian with the tally of the votes. But
later he was engaged by the COM
mittee as a sort of clerk. 1t
was in this capacity that he
put up the job for the Repub-
lican leaders to cause the arrest of the
election officers on election day. This
abominable trick was only prevented
by the determination of the courts to
prevent such an abuse of law. Mr..
Altemus is entitled to no credit, be-
cause he failed to effect his purpose.
The p~retence that Senator Mcdonald
countenanced or knew of this in
famous plot is worthy of the source
whence it emanated.

n Had to Tell the Nice Chancellor
Naughty Tales About Her Brother
fn.Law.
There was a great commotion in the
Chancellor's Chambers yesterday caused
by the swooning of a witness.
Vice Chancellor Green was hearing the
application of Addie C. Newman for a
divorce from her husband, Bloomfield G..
Newman. The couple are both under
age, and were married May %. 1883, at
Ocean Beach. They have n child six
teen months old. They lived together
until last September, when the wife left
the husband on account of alleged gross
immortality on his part.
Mrs. Cora Newman, siSter-in-laW of the
defendant, who was q witness to some of
her brother-in-law's inideiity, was relat-
ing some of the details thereof when she
became hysterical and tainted.
Sergeant-at-Arms Haggerty rushed to
assistance with a glass OF water and the
lady spectators in cour started to relieve
the pressure of her garments on her
breathing apparatus with more haste
Jhan discretion.
The Vice Chancellor alone remained
calm, and under his direction the young
woman was carried into the Chancelor's
private room where she was left with her
husband until she had recovered.
The case proceeded and several wit.
nesses made out a clear case against the
husband. The Vice Chancellor reserved
his decision.

time Father Phelan and Mr.. Bagnall
were in Rome this lady, being then in
greatly reduced circumstances, made
overtures to them through a third
party for the sale of the ring. The
lady's offer was gladly accepted and
Mr.. Bagnall became the purchaser OF
the jewel at a round sum. Father
Phelan satisfied himself that it was
the pontifcal ringfrom the assurances
of Mgr. Ricci, major domo for Pope
Plus TX, now Cardinal Ricci.
1t is q massive seal ring, with an ex-
quisite emerald setting, surrounded
by 102 smaller stones, diamonds, sap
phires, pearls and rubies. Aside from
its sacred associations the ring pos
sesses an intrinsic value of many
thousands of dollars. Surrounding
the emerald are t%wenty-six pearls; *
tending around the sides are twenty
diamonds, on each side of the emer-
aid is a small solitaire surrounded by
brilliants; on the corner facets of the
seal are twenty-four stones, following
the same arrangement, being set in
triangular form; below the double
row Of diamonds on each side appear
a ruby and two sapphires, The en-
tire arrangement is in perfect artistic
taste and the Jewel is worthy a place
in the royal collection. The work
manship on this ring is estimated at
$1,000, and the emerald is worth SO, 900
at the lowest valuation. Mr.. Bagnan
and Father Phelan had some difficulty
in keeping it, for when a high church
official obtained a glimpse of it, de-
mand was at once made that it be not

Special to the Jersey City Ne,rs.
MOUNT HOLLY, April rs. 1904 bold
robbery was unearthed here today, in
which two colored men and their wives
are implicated. Miss Hannah Pancoast.
q wealthy maiden lady, recently moved
from her residence on Water street to a
newly purchased home on Main street,
and Edward Brown was employed to as
sist in the removal of the goods.
Many valuable goods were allowed to
remain there, as the house was to be I'M
occupied. Brown procured keys which
gave him an entrance, and since March
25 he has stolen goods amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars. The goods were
disposed of at Sam Lees on the Sand Hill
and at different pawn shops IN Philadel-
phia. The goods sold to Lee have been
recovered and the police are now in search

been captured yet. Most of the goods
stolen were heirlooms Of the family and
were highly priced.

NEW
The Coming Forum

Ex-Speaker Carlisle has written a reply
to Senator Dawes's recent article IN the
first year of the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison, which will appear in the
May number of the Forum. He recalls
the campaign promises of the Republican
party and reviews its action since it again
came into power. In the same number
there is a review of Sir Charles Dilke's
recent book, problems of Great Britain, !"
by Mr.. Goodwin Smith, who gives special
attention to the portions of Sir Charles's
book that treat of Canadian problems.
Mr.. C. Wood Davis, of Kansas, who had
an article in the last number of the Forum
to explain why the farmer is not prosper
Gus, follows it with another article to
show that the increase of population is
greater than the increase in farming areas,
and that consequently at M distant day
the agricultural products of the United
States will not be more han the people
of the United States will require for their
own consumption.

The uni detective is q reality in

superintendent at Scotland Yard,
where three women detectives are reg

Among this peculiar class of bread

whose services are in constant requi-
sition when it is thought that bogus
companies are being formed or swim
ding is being carried on over com
mercial transactions. A lady who
took a high degree at Cambridge is on
the staff Of one firm in Lon
don, and her reason for adopt
ing a calling not usually asso-
ciated with university honors is
an anxiety to see more of human
nature than can be acquired from
books. Many people fancy that work
done by women detectives is of the
dirtiest and basest kind, but it does
not necessarily follow. 1t is, however,
a curious fact that women are rarely

Gated. "Your fare, please said Conductor

them to the corners Of the car.

sary could be vanquished. From the side Of
the car the formidable hook WINS taken and
the furious conductor and the no less en-
ragged driver renewed their attacks. The
stalwart laborer held the pair at bay until
he felt the sting OF the cold steel on his
head. Then blood followed, which was the
signal for deeper combat
During all this time the car logged along
South street and up Oliver to the Bowery
AT this point the lighters attracted the at
tention Of thousands who were passing in
the vicinity. They stopped TO cheer The
combatants. Presently the car was entered
by two policemen, aud at the instance Of ths
conductor, with the unequivocal corrobora-
tion Of the driver, Morris was placed under
arrest
The officers took him to the Chamber;

wounds on his head. subsequently he wa.
taken to the Tolnbs police court, and Rey

accompanied by the driver. He related tC
Justice German that Morris indiscretior
would cost the company pane Of glas

as they used the hook unmercifully. The
man was discharged.
