Annie Pixley in Kate Mt the Academy.
Annie Pixley appeared last night at the
Academy of Music in her new play,
"Kate." which was most favorably re-
ceived. This is the fest time Miss Pixley
has produced this play in Jersey
City, and it was successful in all particu-
lars. The play is a romance OF the civil
war, and has many interesting and ex-
citing wal incidents. The frat act is
laid at the home of Major Randall on the
banks of the Hudson. Here word is re-
ceived OF the firing OH Fort Sumter, max
ing an effective scene.
lain OF the play, Richard Craven, played
by Charles G. Brandt, Jack Randall, son
OF the Major, is accused OF forgery. Un-
der the accusation he starts for the war
and enlists under an assumed name. The
ward of Major Randall. Kate Desmond,
is the afIlanced wife of Jack, and she fol-
lows him TO the war, searching for him
three years unsaccessfusly. The second
| act is a camp scene with of course the
villain and Kate ana Jack In many strong
| scenes, particularly the one when Jack
| being placed on picket, Is drugged by the
villain, and Kate, finding MIN asleep,
| takes his place as sentinel, not Knowing
who he is. The third act is in the hos
pital, and is replete with interesting
| events.
The last act finds them all back at home,
on the Hudson, where all things are made
right, and happiness comes to all. save. OF
course, the VILLAIN. Miss Pixley's sup
| port is excellent, John I. Burke playing
| Jack in an able Miss Pixley
was bright and clever and played the new
role, which is quite different from heI

Aldermen in respect to jurisdiction
over the streets. 1t thinks that the
fake contest organized by the
Newark Republicans anay cause
the Aldermen TO hold or as
long as they can to their
late powers and privileges. The Ad-
c~ertissy evidently does not know that
a majority of the next Board of Alder
men of Jersey City will be Democratic,
and that the members will have no
idea OF antagonizing the general policy
OF their party. The Board of Alder
men will do just as the Police Board
has done 1t will bow to the law, and
will turn over to the Street and Water
Board all the books. rolls and other
property in its custody and pertaining
to the parks, docks OF other matters
until recently under IFS control.
The Adceytfser raises a second point
that the appointment OF the Board is
within ten days after the law went
into effect 1t calls on the citizens ito
move against the Board on this ac-
count, whatever that may mean.
What does the Advertiser want?
Chaos? Does it want the city left
without anybody in control Of its
public works?
Besides, the point is simply absurd.
Delay in the appointments could not
possibly i~nvalidate them. Perhaps,
if there had been unreasonable delay,
a mandamus against the appointing
officer might have been obtained
to compel him to hasten In
obeying the law, but ven that would
have carried with it a recognition of
the validity of a tardy appointment.
II the appointing officer persisted in
refusing 10 appoint, he might doubt
less be indicted and punished for
misfeasance In Office. But, obviously,
every remedy the law provides would
have tended to compel the making OF
appointments even after the letter of
the law had been broken by the lapse
Of ten days.
Oh, no, the Advertiser is all wrong,
this time. There is nothing the mat
| ter with the Street and Water Board.
1t is all right, and so is the Newark
one, as the Courts will presently de-
| termine.

There have been fewer better as

greater value to their husbands than

the Tenant family has done much to

preparation of his books and lect ures
