'OUR REGIMENT.
The Apollos Give a Delightful
Entertainment for the Peo-
pies Palace.

The Apollo Dramatic Society added an
| other laurel to its crown at its benefit
performance for the Peoples Palace last
evening at the Academy of Music. The
bright three act comedy. "Our Regiment"
was presented by cast which included
among its members many of the bes t
actors of the society, and which
introduced four members to the public
for the first time. Their undoubted sue
cess makes the corps vt active workers
stronger than ever. Probably too, the
fact that the amateurs were on real
professional stage, and not an amateur
one, helped to make the performance de-
lightfully smooth and finished.
The chief features of the nlay are
brought about by that mischievous little
elf, Cupid No one hut that clever gem
tleman himself could have created such a
comedy of errors. No one but he could
have brought such u happy fairy tale
ending out of the chaos. The love max
ers are two members of the Sth Lancers
and young, very young curate, and
three very pretty interesting young girls.
1t would. indeed. be difficult to criticize
each members work separately. The adj
jeciives In our language are somewhat
limited. and as the Same degree of eX-
cellence characterized most OF the work,
it must suffice TO say that IL WIS de-
HSntIUl performances All arOuuu. Inc
three ladies who made their debut Were
Miss Jean Toffey as Mrs Dobbiuson. Miss
Maude Williams rs Maud Ellaby and
Miss Elizabeth Hunt ms Olive
Dobbinson. If they suffered at
all from stage fright, they we've calm
enough to conceal it. Miss Gertrude Car
lands Enid Thurston was lovely and
coGuettish interpretation, aud her scene
in the last act with Captain Feth-
erston, Mr.. II. V. Fitch, really
well done. But the soft, slow
music which always accompanies
interesting love scenes, nearly drowned
the softer. sweeter voice of the little lady,
and made the scene almost case where
actions spoke louder than words. Mr..
Fitch's nonchalant manner suited the
character admirably, but he, too, could
not at all times be understood. Mr.. G.
w. r. Failon rs Guy Warrener was hap
PLY cast and was very amusing, espec-
tally when behind the screen in the second
act. Mr.. J. d. Taylor, Jr., who took
the part of the Rev. John Tai
bot, fitted the character much better
that his clerical suit fitted him. His
imitation of the clerical tone was one of

Mr.. Wesley H. Negus as Mr. Doboinson

individuality wonderfully and Mr.. Charles
l. Catlin's Mr.. Ellaby was a good piece
of work.
At the close of the second act the Rev.

behalf of the Peoples Palace work and
thanked the Apollo for its entertainments.

The supposed attempt at abduction
which occurred Sunday last at the St.

explained Mrs. Annie Jones, whose
child WAS supposed to be the prize the
abductors were after, appeared at The
JERSEY CITY NEWS office yesterday after
noon aud made the following statement
II am the mother of the child whom it
was supposed the two men attempted to
steal spend considerable time In New
York. but my child has been stopping
with Mrs. Loder aG the st. George Hotel.
The gentlemen who presented IL note to
Mrs Loder and asked her to give them
the child were friends of mine, aud did
write the note. The only trouble WIS
that the child wished to stay with Mrs
Loder. The gentlemen did not know
this and somewhat indiscreetly sought
the aid of the police. That matter has
all been settled and has been satistac-
torily explained 10 everyone.

Platt. Blaine and Harrison.

Nothing has caused more amuse-
nent in recent political history than
Mr.. Boss Platt's frank and open ex-
preston of his views regarding Presi-
dent Harrison and his administration,
published in the Sun of yesterday.
His comments are severely true, his
sneers are overwhelmingly appropriate.
When he gets through with the
grandson of his grandfather, there is
not greasespot left of that mean and
miserable little person. His ignor-
ance, narrowness and stupidity, his
envy and his falsity, his obstinacy and
his rashness are all set forth clearly
as never before, even by the bitterest
of Democrats. All that was good in
his administration is clearly shown to
be the work of men who were great
before he was heard of, while the men
he made are shown to reflect discredit
not honor.
All this would be amusing from any
politician concerning the titular head
of his party; but from Tom Platt it
comes with double inpregnation of
humor. That the man who has SO
long figured in politics rs the imper-
sonation of all that is vilest and mean
est in the possibilities of our system
should come out as the censor of NOR
ais and methods is one of the funniest
things we have ever heard OF. One
thing more was wanting to make
the farce complete This was that
James &. Blaine should be the ben
eficiary. Blaine and Platt have
been sworn foes since the latter wrote
his famous ''ine-too" resignation of
the New York Senatorship. Only one
thing could be worse than Blaine's
opinion of Platt, and that was Platt's
opinion OF Blaine. Yet now the Tat
tooed man is dragged out by the
poodle of the late Roscoe Conkling as
a hero and model Republican and
the man who has done everything
worth speaking of since Harrison's
election.
There is one especially amusing
feature of this interview, to Demo
crats, and that is its probable effect
OH Republican harmony. Mr.. Harri-
son had his say about Platt Il Co.
last week. Now Platt has his say
about Harrison & Co. Presently
one side must take the role of
victors and the other that of van
quished. What are they going to say
about each other then7

its symptoms-a sick disgust of the blank

been drenched with ink, the bare par
