FUN AT THE THEATRES.
Pauline Hall at the Academy and
Rose Coghlan at the Opera.

1t is a pleasure to recall last nights
performance at the Academy of Music.
A bright star, surrounded by an excellent
company in q delightful opera comique,
furnished q programme calculated to suit
the most fastidious. The star was Miss
Pauline Hall, the opera Ofenbach's
tuneful, MADAME Favart."
Nature has been very kind to Miss Hall.
She has blessed her with a beautiful
face and figure, and as to her singing
well. | will quote some one. l do not
know who it was, who sat behind me and
said, 81 had no idea she sang so WELL"
Her acting is full of go, and in the many
characters she impersOnates she ShOWed
much ability. The whole performance is
given o. a generous scale, the manage
ment wisely surrounding Miss Hall with
a company that can both sing and act.
The details of scenery and the costumes
of the company were treated we'll and
lavishly, and Miss Halls costumes, es-
pocially the Venus gown in the last act,
were very handsome.
AS Suzanne, Madamed de Boispreau, Miss
A. G, Reed was charming. Although her
voice is not very full, IL is very sweet, and
she uses it to great effect. Mr.. William
Blaisdell as Marquis du Pont-Sable, Mr..
Brand as Hector de Boispreau and Mr..
TAiohui ". uiiiOt 90 ANnJoh OoolShoO WV
very good. As Charles F'avart. MI. George
G. Boniface. Jr., provoked much laughter.
He really is very amusing. There was
some good dancing in the second act by
the company. followed by incidental
dancing by the Misses Warner, which was
graceful in the extreme.
Miss Hall and her company evidently
pleased the audience all through their
performance last night. but / doubt much
If the audiencei pleased Miss Hall n her
company at the end OF the last act. The
lady had scarcely begun her last little
song when the majority made such u
noise and shuttle to leave the theatre that
/ was forced to admire her for continuing
her part.
MADAME Favart'' will run all week with
Saturday matinee, except tomorrow at
the matinee and Saturday evening, when
"Trial by Jury" and "La Belle Helene"
a double bill will be given.

Y'S DILEMMA"

Rose Coghlan in % Dual Part Which
Gives Her Great Opportunities.
The announcement in The NEWS that
Rose Coghlan would appear at the New
Opera House in 'Dorothy's Dilemma"
was gladly read by lovers OF first class
performances and when the curtain rose,
scarcely a vacant seat could be found
Il an intellectual audience greeted the
star. "Dorothy's Dilemma" is a three-act
comedy of considerable merit. and when
interpreted by Miss Coghlan n her
most excellent company it is the source
of much laughter. The plot only aims
at showing the follies and weaknesses OF
London society. This gives Miss Cogh-
Ian and her support a good
opportunity to create fun, and
they avail themselves of it.
Miss C~oghlan's costumes were
works of art, and in her interpretation OF
the character of Captain Jack Styles"
her uniform was gorgeous. 1t was in
the assumption of this character by
Dorothy that Miss Coghlan did her
cleverest work and her objections to male
attire were very laughable. A song that
was sung by Thomas Whifin and Miss
Adele Palma during the first act was de-
lightful and much appreciated by the
audience. 1t was entitled "Dancin z Les
son.
The company, which is one of the best
that ever performed in this city, Is com
posed of Miss Rose Coghlan, John Il.
Sullivan. William Redmond, Thomas

STREET AND WATER BOARD.

The school Repair Fund Will lie Raised
to S49, OOO-other Matters.
After a caucus which lasted from ten
o'clock until half-past twelve yesterday
the Street and Wafer Commissioners APP
peared in their meeting room for the
transaction of business. The request
for $4,000 for the repair of puolic schools
a nd the passage of a resolution by the
Board OF Finance to the etfe CT that $4,000
would be Insufficient for the proper per-
man of the work, brough forth a
resolution resembling the SIS. 900 request
aud making it AS 900. The school houses
are all to be fitted with heating appa-
ratus.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted and the desired appropriation
will probably be raised on temporary loan
bonds by the Finance Commissioners.

THE action of the House of Repre-
sentatives in cutting down the in
crease of the Navy to one ship is I'M
wise and unpatriotic. That is not the
way to make economy popular. The
recent disturbance with Chile, the
present Behring's Sea difficulty show
that the country is always in some
danger of war. If the peril is not so
immediate as in the closely contiguous
and evenly matched countries of
Europe, it is at least real enough to
enforce the policy of keeping abreast
with the times in fundamental pre-
paration.
In his interview published yester-
day, Allan L. McDermott covered his
critics and opponents with confusion
and ridicule. But that is only the be-
ginning of the fun. If the Repub-
lican-Crank combination can get a
man to run against Mr.. McDermott,
there will be music III the air for a
couple of weeks. and some strange old
stories will have to be told over
again.

ERIE AND The COAL DEAL.
From the Paterson Press.

The Erie so far has been lefG out of the
Reading deal, and some shrewd OBJ
servers think that the combine" is not
complete or safe without this gre L road,
which will afford a vast outlet for coal
and seriously menace the combination as
1t now stands. A rise in Erie stock is now
looked for. The road is ripe for a ''boom."
1t has been economically managed, and
has regained and surpassed any former
passenger and freight traffic in its
history. It's oil shipments are enormously
increasing. and without the Erie the coal
combination might easily be smashed.

McDowell's Fashion Magazines.

Women who wish to be properly and
fashionably dressed would do we'll to
glance over the monthly fashion letter in
La Mode dc Puris. Album DIES Modes or
La Mode, the favorite fashion journals.
This letter Is one of the best on the sub
ject with which it deals, explaining par
ticularly the styles prevailing or coming
in fashion. Ladies would do well to pat
onize these journals. which are not only
reliable. but are now considered the
standards of fashion wherever they are
known. The practical lesson on cutting
given each month in Album deS Modes
and La Mode dc Paris is intended to ex-
plain fully how to make the new styles as
soon as they appear. The series of les
sons has been produced under the direct
supervision of Mr.. A. Mcdowell, the in
ventor Of the well known Garment Draft
ing Machine, which has proved such a
boon 10 thousands of dressmakers. and
has made the cutting and perfect fitting
of ladies' garments an easy task to all.

Entertaining Conversation

Entertaining Conversation.
Did not Lord Byron say the most en-
PERTAINING conversation be ever had was
with a pickpocket? asks a writer on that
finest of social INSTRUMENTATION, Il
nave not we all sat and groaned while
some servile adherent to truth was ex-
planning how an incident, in itself enter
tanning, was told him by Brown. who got
it from Robinson, to whose servant Jones
it actually occurred in a former place.
Still, people who are apt to repeat should
exercise u little care. To make. apropos
of the fidelity OF native servants, your
shikaree the hero of a story in India,
which you have previously on the same
evening related as happening to your
uncle in Ceylon, is perhaps c~arryingthe
license too far for any Que short OF old
middle age; but, nevertheless, many will
subscribe most heartily to the dictum,
"a consummate liar is a better fngre-
dent in a com pany than the scrupulously
truthful man."
The object of conversation is to amuse,
and people who would blame the man
who, in his efforts to entertain, wapders
rather 10 the airy regions OF romance than
the dull plains of fact. remind one of the
old Scotch lady VINO objected compre-
hensively to fiction on the ground that it
was "all a pack of lies" What does the
genial autocrat of the breakfast table say
en- this pointi '.All generous minds have
a horror of what are commonly called
facts. They are the brute beasts OF the
intellectual domain. Who does not
know fellows who always have
an i'll conditioned fact or two, which
they lead after them into decent
company, like SO many bulldogs, ready to
let them slip at every ingenious sugges-
ton, or convenient generalization, or
pleasant fancyl l allow no facts at this
table. What! because bread is good and
wholesome and necessary and nour1sh-
ing, shall you thrust a crumb into my
windpipe while l am talking?" And was
not honest Sam johnson always ready to
maintain the other side regardless of the
merits of the case, to promote discus
sion? AS a young man, he confesses he
frequently chose the weaker side If he
thought it gave him a better opening for
displaying his dexteritv in fence.
The Art of Sewing Among the Jews.
The Bible is full of illusions to the fem
mime art of sewing. Striking examples
are the famous coat Of Joseph and the
little coat that Hannah made from year
to year for her little son; the charitable
work of Dorcas and the elegant emDroid-
cry of the Hebrew women III ornament
ing the Tabernacle.
They made a rich hanging for the door
of the tent, "of blue and purple and scar
let and fine twiued linen wrought with
needle work" Aaron's fine coat of linen
was embroidered, and his girdle was of
"iue twineQ linen, and blue and purple
and scarlet of needle work." There can
not be any doubt that the women of
Israel learned the more elegant uses of
the needle from the Egyptians, who had
| for centuries excelled in this work, and
exported it to other countries before the
| descendants of Abraham sojourned
among them. The Prophet Ezekiel
| speaks of ''iue liuen with embroidered
work from Egypt."-Woman' Work..

WHAT is there about a minister any
way that makes him a political sage2
Is there anything in his education,
training, habits of life, or professional
duties which peculiarly fits him to
pass judgment on public men and
measures, on questions of policy and
statecraft, of finance or executive man
agement?
What would one think of q min
ister's opinion as to the running of an
iron foundry or q dry goods store?
What attention would you pay to
the opinion of "a professor of mathe-
MATES or of natural history If he at
tempted to pose a. an authority on
municipal affairs?
OF course there is no eason why a
minister should not be well posted on
politics if he gave his attention to
public questions. He would have the
same chance to learn and form sound
judgments that any other man has.
But why should he be arrogant about
it Just ON account of his cloth?

Ministers in Politics-A Case
Sauce for the Camden.

Ministers In Politics-A Case of
Sauce for the Camden.
The attitude of the ministers who
took part in the Republican confer
ence yesterday is certainly strange
and wonderful, Things are coming
to a pretty pass when a number OF
clergymen will get together and as
sumo to dictate to their fellow cit1-
zens in the name of religion and in
the interest of a political party.
If a Roman Catholic priest should
venture to utter a political recommen-
dation of any sort, still more, If a
body of priests should attempt to die
tate to their focks how they should
vote or should organize in favor OF
any candidate or against any candi-
date, how these very same gentlemen
who did that very same thing yester-
day would rage and declaim against
ecclesiastical domination. How the
Pope of Rome would be denounced,
and how often would it be prophesied
that the Beast of the Apocalypse was
gaining ascendancy over our free in
situations.
Now, for our part, we cannot see
that the interference of one ecclesias-
teal body in our politics is any better
than that of another. We are against
ecclesiastical meddling of any sort in
secular matters. We would resent
dictation from Rome, and we equally
resent it whether it comes from Can
terbury or Geneva or Boston. We
think that ecclesiastical Endorsement
of a political cause is the best OF rea-
sons for opposing it, just as a protest
against an interference and an intru-
sion which are contrary to the spirit
of our institutions and the terms OF
our fundamental law.
