THERE WAS FUN GALORE.
A Race Between "The County
Fair" and "Keppler's
Fortunes"

"1he County FAIR at the New Opera
House was welcomed last night by an ex-
cellent audience. 1t was a good humored
gathering and the people had gone there
for the express purpose of enjoying u
good laugh. They were not disappointed
in this respect and for three hours
almost. the pretty little theatre was u
scene of merriment and laughter. 1t is
for everyone has enjoyed seeing this
play which so accurately portrays rustic
life in the New England States.
The character of the prudish n prac-
lical Abigail Prue was interpreted bv
Miss Marie Bates. She amused everyone
by her old maidish ways and peculiar
sayings. Taggs, the yaung girl from the
Mission in New York. full of natural
goodnt IS and acquired love of mischief.
was the part of Margaret May, and as
Taggs, Miss May pleased the audience by
her dancing. Miss Ella Salisbury as
PRESTON, and w. H. Burton as Otis
Tucker frequently convulsed the house
with laughter.
One of the most enjoyable scenes in
the play was the husking bee. The scene
was the interior of a New England barn
filled with hay, straw, horses and corn to
be husked. The village people gathered
there for that purpose and while some
were busy husking the corn others sang
and danced and had apparently mucn
sport. The old fashioned county dance
was much enjoyed by the audience. The
quartette ant very we'll during the act,
and received a N encore. The scenery
aud settings for the County Fair" were
very cool and realistic.
The act that created the greatest inter-
est was the ina one In which tue race is
run and won by Gold Molasses." In
this act three horses are seen running a
race with as much spirit rs would be ex-
hipited at Gutenberg. The jockeys ride
u neck and neck race and whips aud
spurs are not spared. 1t is a great sight,
this race, and is something different from
anything ever put on the stage.
The County Fair" will remain at the
New Opera House during the week and
matinees will be given Wednesday and
Saturday,

Board of Education Bad Faith.

Mr.. Kenny was unqueSt1onably
right when he said that the Board of
Finance increased the appropriation
for the school teachers pay on the
understanding that the lowest grade
was to get the benefit. The whole
matter was SO understood at the time.
If we are not mistaken Mr.. Voorhees,
himself so explained the request for
money to a JERSEY CRY NEWS re-
porter. We are certain that every
member of the Finance Board so I'M
derstood the case, and we are con-
fident that on no other account would
they have given the money.
We are amazed that Mr.. VOORHEES,
should attempt a denial at this time.
He certainly affords Mr., Kenny justi-
ication for accusing the Board of
Education of bad faith. If MI. Voor-
hees and his colleagues did not give
the impression described above to the
Financiers, who did? How did they
get the idea? On the other hand if
the School Directors gave the impress
sion, how can they, in the commonest
honesty, go back on their words now?
In the past year or eight cen months
we have had occasion to ANNA Divert
on the proceedings Of the Board of
Education with painful frequency.
Time after time they have shown an
absolute contempt for public opinion
for the requirements OF public de-
cency indeed. The Board has be-
come reckless in its dealing with pub
lie opinion.
1t will be a good idea for the next
Mayor to infuse some new blood into
it, if, indeed, the Legislature does not
reform it meanwhile.

When flowers or other bright decor
ations are hard to obtain, a most
pleasing substitute is afforded by the
cones OF pine or Norway spruce. writes
Eben E. Rexford in the December
Ladies' Home Journal. These, in
their natural color, are very pretty,
but their effect can be greatly height
enad by bronzing or gliding them.
The liquid gold paints sold by all
dealers in artists goods, are cheap,
and produce good results. Apply two
coats. SO that the cone will be well
covered. A cluster of them, shining
against q background of dark green,
will stand out brilliantly by lamp
light. For a good deal of the decora-
tive work about arches over the altar,
and in the making of crosses and
similar designs, they are much pre-
ferable to flowers or fruit. as they are
more in harmony with the evergreens
among which they are used. Pro-
vided your gliding is good, most pleas
ing results can be secured by giving
cones such a covering. Try it, and
you will be sure to be pleased with
this e method. 1t is always well to
remember that artistic effects do not
depend upon elaborate designs. The
simplest decorations, especially in a
church altar. are Outlines the most
effective, and where taste is used
rather than quantity, success is, as a
rule, far more certain.

Librarian coles Indiscretion.

The arrest of the Librarian of the
Public Library for assault on a citi-
zen, a customer of the institution, is a
very painful occurrence 1t is espec-
tally disagreeable since the offence
seems to have been committed in the
course of a deliberate attempt to hui
initiate the citizen for a casual and
merely thoughtless violation of a tech
nical rule.
A man finds himself in one public
place where he has a perfect right to
be; he walks thence to another public
place where he has a perfect right to
go, through an open door. Surely
the fact that in general there is a rule
against passing through that door
does not constitute an act which calls
for punishment inflicted by force and
violence. If the door from the Reading
Room to the Circulating department.
were kept shut, nobody would have a
right to complain; but when it is left
wide open, we hardly think Mr.. Cole
Is justified in even demonstrating with
people who walk through it. 1t is a
natural impulse to take such an obvi-
GUS step, instead of going out in the
street and travelling half a block to
accomplish a change in position of ten
feet.
However that may be, MFR. Cole GER
tainly forgot himself when he as
suIned the role of bouncer. He is en-
ployed by the people and taxpayers
Of Jersey City as their servant, and
not to humiliate them. The very
rules, which he undertook to enforce
SO indiscreetly, are instituted for the
comfort and protection of the public
and not to afford opportunity for in
sulting and humiliating its individual
members. We think we are quite on
The safe side of the case when we say
That MI. Cole exhausted his
iusrifable remedies in the verbal
remonstrance addressed to Mr..
Simpson. His only further course
was to shut the gate or door if he
wanted to stop further breach of the
rules. The expulsion of Mr.. Simpson
could have had no exemplary advan-
tage, for only a very small fraction of
the Library's customers could have
SHOWN of or profited by the incident,
had not MI. Simpsons subsequent
action given it general publicity.
1t is somewhat astonishing that Mr..
Cole should have given way to this
sbullition of temper. In his general
course, he has shown himself courte-
,us and gentlemanlike. 1t is to be
presumed that he gave way to a
nomentary impulse, which he proba-

1t is a mistake to consider Catarrh merely a

The Achievements of Women Clubs.
1t is through this dominant thought
of doing something active for better
ing the condition of women, and con-
sequently the rest of mankind, that
after many years of struggle, first by
the women suffrage societies, then by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and later by the agitation in
the clnbs-the sex has gained the
right to vote on school matters in
twenty-eight States in the Union; that
women can serve in hospitals As ply
sicians and nurses; that women have
been allowed to protect the unfortu-
nate of their own sex as matronS in
police stations, or, as in Chicago, in
the city jails. In two States the
right of equal suffrage has been
granted, and in several others per-
