THE THEATRES.
"Niobe'' at the Opera House and
Nellie Mchenry at the
Academy.

Quite a novelty In the line of high class
comedy will be presented at the New
Opera House on Monday night. 1t is en-
titled "Niobe," and Judging from the New
York criticisms, "NioDe" will be a most
welcome visitor here. The comedy was
originally produced at the Walnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia. last June. when
the interest i'll things theatrical had
pretty nearly died out; but it succeeded
in causing much mirth in the Quaker
City, and from Wednesday evening of
that week through the balance of its fort
nights engagement, the standing room
sign had to pe brought into use during
every performances. Latterly the comedy
accomplished runs of one hundred nights
zach IN Boston and New York. The
Paultons, who are the Authors OF the
comedy. have chosen a subject which has
been handled by Gilbert and many writer's
of less repute: but it is said they have
treated it i'll an entirely novel manue
and with much success.
The fundamental idea OF the piece,
showing Greek civilization in contrast
with that of today. admits of great possi-
bilities IN the treatment. The company
which is to present the comedy here has
won for itself an enviable reputation.
The majority of the papers of New York
have gwen the organization a place be-
side the stock companies of the metropo-
lis. which is indeed high praise when it is
remembered hat material they contain.
Mr.. Ben Teal will personally stage the
comedy here. and as he is a stickler for get
ting OUT all that there is in a dramatic
work. both in point Of acting and Access
series, a thorough duplicate of the New
York performance may be expected. The
stage OF the Opera House will be cleared
entirely Of its scenery aud drapery, and
only the material carried by the otnpRny
will be employed in the production.
Matinees on Wednesday and Saturday

TWO NOTABLE EVENTS.
Fortnightly Musicale and George
and Martha Washington
Reception.

Count no society exempt from bad
weather until it has held its last meeting.
DULY two weeks ago the members of the
FortnightlY Musicales were congratulate
ing themselves on the fact that not one of
it's evenings had been stormy, and last
night came a driving rain and upset all
calculations. Perhaps Jupiter Pluvius
had made his contract with the club for
Thursday only, and considered that on
Fridays he might do as ne pleased
At the residence of Mr.. aud Mrs. w. F.
Brown, No. 48 Kensington avenue, for the
study of Franz Schubert, and Miss ella
Wooley opened a programme OF eight
numbers with a thoughtful essay ON the
composers life and work, IN which the
essayist related in AN entertaining nan
ner the circumstances under Waich the
selections on the programme had been
composed. Mrs. W.. Hunter Brown and
Mr. Louis r.. Dressler then performed the
feat of playing at sight the overture TO
Rosamund, arranged as duo, which pro-
ceeding did not in the least surprise the
society, who have ceased TO wonder at Mr..
Dressler, and nave learned that Mrs.
Brown can do any earthly thing that she
will attempt.
The society greeted MI. w. F. Browns
fine work in the famous "Erl King" with
well deserved applause, while Mr.. Dress
ler's accompaniment received a round all
for itself. The Andante from Schubert's
second sonata for violin gave Mr.. Albert
lie Ratte an opportunity or displaying the
singing tones for which his work is re-
markable. while the most noticeable teaJ-
ure was his sympathetic rendering OF the
sweet and gentle spirit OF the movement.
. From SchuberL's arrangements of the
songs in Scott's Lady of the Lake, a
weird "Coronach" was selected as a trio
L.. ATx1-H ...oAr TAoatA SgNlfh and
Katrina Green, but as the last named
musician had contracted Il severe cold at
the Melopoia, Mrs. w. II. Brown sang
second soprano. The voices blended in
the wild cadenceS of the Scottish dirGe
with delicacy Of shading and tenderness
OF expression that distinguished the trio
as one of the most artistic num-
Ders on the programme. The 1nvol-
untary gloom into which the audience
was plunged was not lightenec by
a wailing ballade from Mr.. 9. Rutte's
violin, aud Miss Lucy Nelson's soprano
solos alone cleared the air. The great
composers songs received the attention
which they deserve; Mrs. q. Howard
Slater brought out all the dainty Shades
of expression in "Impatience," Mr.. W..
H. Brown was never in better voice b
in "Murmuring Stream" and Miss Nelson
gave a Romauza from Rosamund. my
Sweet Repose." aud brought down the
house with "Hark, Hank, the Lark" her
voice trimming over with joyous enthus-
iasm. Mrs. Hunter Brown and Mr..
Dressler agaiu plunged into sight reading,
and the first movement from the sym
phony in B minor, emerging with lying
colors. There are times when rashness Is
its own reward.
In the impromptu musicale that fol-
lowed Miss rurner sang Fly Forth, GA
Gentle Dove" aud Mrs. w. H. Blown
played the Sixth Valse OF Chopin.

New York and Typhus Suspects.

New York and Typhus Suspects.
One of the most amazing examples
of wrongheadedness that has recently
turned up is presented by Governor
Flower and the health authorities Of
New York, who are flooding III Off
cials with protests against the return
to New York of typhus fever suspects
fround in Trenton. 1t Is quite true
the act was a stupid one from a SAM
tary point of view. There can be very
little excuse for sending two men sick
of q contagious disease a journey of
sixty miles in railway cars and ferries
used by the general public, and, IN
deed, in more or less direct contract
with numerous persons, all liable to
catch the infection. 1t would be hard
to conceive of a better way to create
a typhus epidemic than this. If n
does not break out in this State, we
will have to thank our good fortune
rather than our health authorities.
But how does this blunder concern
New York; The risk was all incurred
in this State. New York busters a
good deal about the ''unsanitary" act.
but what really seems to trouble her
is that the care and maintenance OF
the sick men is imposed upon her,
through New jerseys refusal to pro-
vide for them, and this is just where
we hold they have no right to make
the least objection.
All the danger of a typhus epidemic
which now menaces the country is the
direct fault of the New York health
authorities. That State is entrusted
with the quarantine system OF the
port. 1t makes the laws, appoints
the officials and manages the system.
If proper care had been exercised
when the Massilia reached New York
harbor, New. York herself, Trenton
and Philadelphia would not now be
threatened with a scourge which
ranks below only cholera and yellow
fever in its dire ravages.
Considering chat all the blame for
the appearance Of typhus in the
try is due to New York, her officials
should be very modest in their STRIFE
lures on those whom they have inn
perilled. 1t is more than probable
that Governor Albeit will read Gov
ernor Flower a wholesome lesson in
his reply to the protest" in respect
to the Trenton suspects.

Local Peril.

Now comes the danger to Jersey
City from the close proximity of the
Emigrant Landing Station on Ellis
Island. If an outbreak of fever should
take place, %southerly winds. moist
atmosphere and warm weather might
place the tenement districts of Jersey
City in serious danger. The con-
ditions of life in such a district as that
popularity known as ''Gammontown,"
are just those which foster the de-
velopment of typhus.
The bad soil, the shanties, the
rickety, RECONSTRUCTED old rookeries,
the bad plumbing, the rotting wood
work, and withal the teeming popula-
ton create just such a district as
zyInotic diseases originate in and rage
in with their utmost virulence.
Add to the other evils the shocking
state of our streets. 1t is a wonder q
pestilence is not bred merely by the
accumulated masses of effete filth
which cover the paving stones like
paste in wet weather, and which are
waited into the lungs Of the citizens
when it is dry. The condition of
Grand street is particularly hideous.
Along its whole length, but especially
from Washington street to Hender-
son, it has been ankle deep with dust
for the past week. The passage of a
horse or a wagon rendered the
air hazy with dust. The houses
were discolored with the settle
ment Of the floating particles
from the air. The sidewalks were
almost hidden by the deposits.
After walking a block or two. ones
clothes acquired a gray color; ones
nostrils and eyes became inflamed,
and ones throat became parched and
dry. The air was full of germs of dis
ease, and it is a mystery how hun
dreds OF people managed to live along
the thoroughfare.
And yet we pay $50, 900 a year for
the cleaning of our streets. And Mr..
Henry Byrne is our street contractor.
And his contract was recently re-
newed, practically on his own terms.
THE Keyport ministers have bitten
off a larger chunk than they can masti-

their houses except when they go out
to attend church the reform must
fail. The police must, of course,
stop work on Sunday and so there
will be no one to enforce the
