The parlors OF Mrs. C. Z. Rochet, No.
100 Magnolia avenue. were filled to their
utmost capacity yesterday evening, when
an enjoyable parlor entertainment was
rendered by well known young people of
the Heights.
The programme consisted of selections
by an excellent double trio OF ladies in

evening, marked by q dash and briiliancy
that carried the audience by storm. Miss
Lucy Is. Kent, as Miss Roberts, and Miss
Lillian j. Bridgart, rs Mrs. Curwen, must
be b~racketed together for first place, the
former for her gracious manner and alb
solute freedom from selfEonsciousness,
The latter for her portrayal OF the brilliant
and mischievous society woman Miss
Eva r Bridgart appeared to
good advantage as Mrs. Crashaw,
Miss Ida Rink as the nervous Mrs.
Miller, aud Miss Louise de Hart de-
veloped an unexpected vein of coquetry
AS Miss Lawton, 81 debutante. Messrs.
Edward and Charles Woolsey made q de-

His Personal Platform-Allan Nc
Dermott's Manly Utterances.

His Personal Platform-Allan Nc
Dermott's Manly Utterances.
Mr.. Allan L. McDermott's position
in the matter of the M%ayoralty is
Just what might be expected in a man
of his independence, energy and char
acter. He does not want the office OF
Mayor, but he will take it if the peo-
pie want him and if he. can get it un-
der conditions that will enable him
to do the public good service.
Two things are necessary to this
end. First, he must be free from all
endorsements in the way of
pledges, promises, deals, dickers, bar
gains or alliances. Second, he must
be given time enough in which to ac-
complish some definite results. He
does not propose to be put in for two
wears and then either have to scheme
for a second term or else get out and
let somebody else undo all he has be-
gun. The city government, he thinks,
needs sweeping and radical reform.
1t is a hard task and a long task. He
is not afraid of it, but he must be
given time enough to do it in.
This is not only fair and reasonable,
it is, theoretically, an announcement
of the most cheering kind for all citi-
zens and taxpayers. 1t shows that
Mr.. McDermott is not approaching
the new trust, about to be imposed on
him, in any vague state or mind or
purpose. He is going in to do some
thing positive. He is going to reform,
and to reform thoroughly. When he
goes out of Office, 1t will not be the
same Jersey City that he will turn
over to his successor. 1t will be a
well financed, well ordered city with
a smooth running governmental sys-
tenn in which every one will have con
fidence.
If anything were wanted to com
plete the assurance of popular sup
port of Mr.. McDermott at the polls,
this manly and wise statement of his
personal platform would completely
round out his image in the public eye
as the ideal candidate for the existing
coniuncture.

Witchcraft in New Brunswick.

The hitherto lnnOcuOuS 1OoG OF the
| innocent rabbit has suddenly leaped tC
first place. in the working of occult
mysteries. This happens at New
Brunswick, a usually matter-of-fact
town in which such a thing would
hardly be looked for. OF course
there is a negro in. it. Whenever
the Hoodoo or Voudoo sits on the
woodpile, be assured that there is
q colored man under the cordwood.
Mrs. Matilda S~chneyder, whose name
suggests memories of Germany, but
who is of pure burnt cork and ebony
extraction, firing of widowhood, con-
cluded to add Mr.. Edward Anderson
to her collection of husbands. But
Mr.. Edward Schenck was also looking
for the nomination, and although he
failed to carry the primaries an
nounced himself as an independent
candidate.
There was no ballot reform about
Edward ii. He resorted to immedi-
ate intimidation. Brandishing a
rabbits foot" before Mrs. Schneyder's
eyes he ordered her to discard Edward
I. So powerful was the spell that she
obeyed, though she assured Mr..
Anderson that she loved him with all
that remained of the heart that once
was Mr.. S~chneyder's. The remnant
was good enough for MI. Anderson
and he made an effort to regain pos
session of the fragment. While he was
pleading with the fair brunette to re-
sist the w~itcheries of the hoodoo and
the rabbits foot, Mr.. Schenck came
upon the SC enc, and then Mr.. Ander-
son witnessed a performance that
made him bless MI. Mckinley that
there is no free wool in this country.
Else had his taken wings unto itself
and flown away. The kinks were
taken out as it was, and it stood up
straight in a frantic effort to escape.
Waving his rabbits foot aloft, Sor-
cerer Schenk commanded the af-
frighted widow to drive Mr.. Anderson
from the premises. Instantly a
change came over the woman. She
advanced upon her a-moment-before
lover, not with arms extended to en-
brace him, but with distended eyes,
wildly working jaws and crashing
teeth, as if suddenly inspired with a
desire to eat him up. As an entranced
sybil she told Mr.. Anderson to git"
and when he failed to obey, she seized
him by the arm and hurled him
through the door, which the wicked
sorcerer conveniently held open.
After that Mrs. Schneyder bundled
Mr.. Anderson unceremoniously into
the street.
Mr.. Anderson says he felt the spell
of the rabbits foot also and could
offer no resistance. Mrs. Schneyder
says she still loves Mr.. Anderson and
will marry him if she gets the chance.
She should elope with him, provided
Mr.. Schenck could be induced not to
hoodoo the train, though we wouldn't
give much for Mr.. Scnenck's rabbits
foot after a Pennsylvania locomotive
had passed it under the wheels.
But Mr.. Anderson's best hope
would seem to be in hoodooing Mr..
Schenck. Let him get two rabbits
feet and go at his rival like a man.
Perhaps a pigs foot might prove a
valuable aid. But ior a positively
sure thing in the way of knocking
Mr.. Schenck out THE NEWS would
recommend a pair of mules feet, APP
piled by the mule. If that doesn't
settle him surely nothing will.

the reservoirs; the shallow flowage
| clause of the contract has been
ignored; refuse has not been
removed; the appearance of work
| done is not meat and work
manlike" as required; there are
swamps where there are disease-breed-
ing deposits. The questions as to the
amount of land necessary for the pro-
lection of the supply are not answered
by Messrs. Fteley and jacobsen, the
engineers appointed to pass on the
acceptability of the works, because
they we're not given the necessary in
formation. The vastly important
matter of the pipe line is not discussed
by them as the line has not yet been
thoroughly tested.i
All this is bad news for Jersey City,
which had hoped to share in Newark's
water supply by consuming it's surplus
until Newark needed it itself. If the
works are so miserable and the supply
so deficient, perhaps we may have to
leave Newark to deal all alone with
her costly disgrace. But, this revela-
ton of fraud inflicted on our sister
city by agrasping corporation may, as
the Call very judiciously suggests, have
important and f~ar-reaching results.
The Call says
If the water supply was assured to be ample
and pure, and the work was shown to be accord
|ipv ~ contract there would of course. be no.
thing for Newark to do but pay the money. But
the situation is different, and it has already DC
at this late day the conditions do not
justify State interference; State action to
preserve the water supply OF the whole northern
section of New Jersey, and general measures by
the Governor and Legislature for the control
and distribution of the waters for the benefit of
all and at the common expense: What Newark
price to obtain it and to expend
a large sum annu ally for its main
tenance, without assistance, Independently, by
itself, for itself. The parties with whom 1t con-
tracted have not fulfilled their part, and the
whole question is now under fair way to be re-
opened. AT the same time Jersey City is in
need of water, and is today knocking at the
doors Of the Legislature for help. 1t is con-
fessediy too late for united action BY the CT ties,
but is it too late for State Interference?
Should it be possible and the State
should be willing to act now, Newark city might
be freed from a part of its obligations or re-
sponsibilities. while it would-with enough
water for present uses already available from
the imperfect works-havea an imperative claim
TO the earliest and best supply yielded under
the new management. The effect would practi-
caIly be to substitute the State of New Jersey
for the Water Syndicate, and the benefit to
Newark would be that the financial obi
CATION would be upon the State instead of the
city, and its share of the cost of maintenance
would be greatly reduced. The water would be
as pure aud as abund mt rs if the city owned
the plant, and the dangers Of cor poration con-
troll of water would be as far removed. That
the other cities OF Northern New Jersey havea
still greater interest ia this matter is obvious.
There is water enough for all, and to spare.
