by his INSCRIPTIONS nephew, but is that

are always foiled by a faithful friend,

basis of the play. Add a treacherous

horses n you nave the play.

approval on the hurry up wagon"
and Frank" the gallant pair that bring
tho patrol wagon upon the stage at pre-
cisely the right moment. Why it is that
horses on the stage always bring down
the house passes understanding, but the
fact remains that during the realistic
scene In Inc patrOl StatlOn Tue mere pres

from the dancing and singing going on
at the front, excellent though it un-
doubtedly was.
The presence of a we'll balanced COM
pany was a relief to Jersey City, after It's
recent prolonged attack Of "star'-fever.
1t was a pity to kill the best actor in the
first act, but it was necessary to the action
that Scott Marble as Enos Bond should
have to go. Hubert jones as Artful Joe
displayed excellent powers. and when an
unlisciplined drop nearly fell on the
heads of Joe and the villain, Elmer Graz
elm, neither moved a hair, and still
smiled on. for which the audience cheered
them as they deserved. Charles Chap

MooRIsTowN, Dec. %, 1891. Samuel
Dixon was arrested here yesterday on a
charge of robbing a number OF stores at
this place. When Detective A. E. Burr
searched Dixon's House he found it
stocked with paints, brushes, shoes, tin
ware, blankets and other articles too
numerous to mention. Magistrate Petit
held him in So. 600 bail, in default of which
he was sent to Mt. Holly Jail.
it is believed Dixon had several &C.
completes and that his house was made u
rendezvous for the gang. The detectives
believe this gang robbed Coles Hotel last
week. when Prof. Francis N. Thorpe of
the University of PENNSYLVANIA, vino Was
stopping there, was robbed OF his gold
watch. u diamond pin and $3.50 in money.
Dixon recently built a barn, but the
most diligent search fails to show where
the lumber was procured. 1t Is alleged
to have been stolen, as John S. Collins, q
merchant, identified the shingles
as coming from his yard, although none
of them were purchased there.

SUCCESS OF 4TaE STOwAwAY."


One of the Most Powerful Melodramas
on the Stag.
A happy, laughing and joyous audience
filled the New Opera House last night
and welcomed 1.-The Stowaway." The
play made a great hit. and the leading
characters were called before the curtain
at the close of each act.
"The S~towaway" Is Il melodrama which
includes villains. murderers. heroes, trag-
edy, comedy and farce. One moment the
audience would be still as death watch
ing a murder. and an instant later shouts
of laughter would fill the theatre. There
are Ave acts In the play, and the seco nd
and fourth are extremely realistic. In the
second act three burglars actually blow
open a safe. 1t is no humbug blow up,
but an actual one; the powder explodes
and the heavy iron door is thrown from
its hinges to the floor. The fourth act
contains a scene on q genuine schooner
yacht. The sails are hoisted and lowered
at will, and the scene is true to nature.
The favorite in the caste last night was
gramme as Mr.. Harry Barker, but who,
in his private life in his delightful home
in this city, Is plain Mike Egan. The
audience were determined to make their
fellow townsmanf feel at home, and he re-
ceived an ovation His comedy acting
was very Iunny. MT. waiter III WafQS
took the character of Tom Ingliss. the
discarded sou, aud did justice to the char
acter, aud Mr.. Mark Lynch made as thor
ongh Il william and scoundrel in the char
acter of Charles Etherington as anyone
would wish to see. Mr.. Frank Richard
son did justice to the character of Job
Hickey, a discharged seaman, and was at
times very funny. Miss Libby Kirke
made a delightful Chuckey, a London
newsboy. and Miss Leonora bradley was
fascinating rs Althea Dale. "The Stow
away will remain at the New Opera
House all the week. and matinees will be
given Wednesday, Christmas (Friday)
and Saturday.

In is a cold day when Henry Byrne
gets left.
Mr. Blaine,s Can1idacy.


The World goes to considerable
trouble this morning to assure the
public that Mr.. Blaine is in the race
for the Presidency. 1t is all unneces-
sary. Mr.. Blaine served notice on
President Harrison and the public two
weeks ago of his intention to get into
the race for business. What else did
hat famous Philadelphia medical ex-
petition mean
The World says Mr.. Blaine will
make his letter OF acceptance-rush-
ing things slightly, is it not?-all
about reciprocity. He will make
reciprocity his platform, and will en-
deavor to exclude every other issue
from his campaign. 1t this is SO, it
means, in plain English, that Mr..
Blaine will make a free trade cam
paign, only his free trade will be q
narrow, partial and illogical one.
Mr.. Blaine, if he be nominated,
may find reason to regret that he did
not stay out. He will find it impos-
sible to make his reciprocity humbug
hide the wickedness of the Mckinley
Congress and the of the
H~arrisonian administration. By
taking office under Mr.. Harrison and
persistently holding on to it, he has
identified himself beyond redemption
with the President and his clique,
and the public hold him RESPONSE
BILE at least in part for all their do
ings. By taking up the most charac-
t~eristic act of the late Congress and
trying to appropriate it to himself
through a little patching and twisting,
he has made himself morally respon-
sible for all the complementary doings
of that body, at least rs approving
them.
II Mr.. Blaine had firmly held aloof
from the administration for the last
three years, he might be a very for
midable candidate today. As it is, he
is tarred with the same brush. Its
weakness is his weakness, and no pre-
fences or receptions will avail him.
Let him run. 1t will need no Bur-
chard to beat him in 1892.

WHAT did the Coroner's jury expect
to find by making a tour of the Arl-

pect to find the dead mans ghost
lurking in the corridors, ready to
whisper dread secrets of murder in
their ears, perhaps to point his finger
at the murderer? If so, the expedi-
ton failed. But if the ghost had
walked and come upon the jury sud
