MR.. POTTER OF TEXAS

He Entertains % Fashionable Audience
at Ross's Hoboken Theatre"
The audience at Ross Hoboken
Theatre last night was really a literary
one. or. more properly speaking. a book
reading audience, the majority OF whom
had read with pleasure Archibald's
Gunter's "Mr. Potter OF Texas" and
who also found much pleasure
in witnessing a mimic portrayal Of
the story SO c%leyerly told. The
Hairy Bradley as the Hon. Sampson
Potter, was all that could be desired.
His portrayal of the blunt Texan was as
10 the manor born. Miss Josephine
Loane. rs Lady Sarah Annerliy, carried
off the honors of the evening. AS
the desperately in love, using
at first every artiice within pretty
woman's. power to win the idol
os her heart, unsuccessful and seeing that
man love and caress another, she stoops
to infamy to secure her end, her despera-
tion, her final defeat, all these character
izatlons were portrayed i'll a strong, dra-
matte manner by a woman beautiful and
talented. Miss frankie McLewee as Ida
Potter, not ashamed of her father, won
hearty applause. But the sympathy of
the audience went out to the captivating
young and petite Miss May Hiluian, the
subject of Lady Annerlly's wrath. The
0 ther characters were well portrayed.
The play will be continued tonight and
tomorrow night, with matinee al quarter
past two tomorrow.

In THE MUSICAL WORLD.
Excellent Recital at the First Pres.
byterian Church Future
Events.

The fact that the modern French school
dominates organ compositions and
methods received another proof at the
First Presbyterian Church last night at
the third of its series of organ r~ecitals.
There was not a single Bach number on
the programme, which began with
Salome aud made much of de la Tombelle
and Lemaigre. Jensen, too, although he
NAV be by birth a Teuton, belongs TO this
category. There was a solid foundation
of Wagner. and the Tampa" overture
thrown in to please the populace.
The organist was MIR. r. Huntington
Woodman. an artist new to our city. In
accordance with established precedent at
these recitals, he gave the audience an
opportunity to judge of his composition.
by a Wedding Hymn, which proved
melodious. naturally contrapuntal in ten
dency and properly expressive of the
underlying sentiments. Mr.. Woodman's
technique is wonderful, his phrasing &C.
curate. and his artistic conception not to
be questioned. Perhaps the most popu-
lar number was Jensen's "Brautgesang,"
and the most poetic, the arrangement of
20 Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star"
Mr.. WQodman also gave the march from
the same opera. Two numbers were from
Rubenstein's "Feramors," the famous
Dance of the B~ayaderes" and the "Wed-
ding Procession"
1t is safe to say that Mrs. J.. H. Let's
never sang more wonderfully. There is
a limpid. dulcet quality in her soprano
voice that captiyates the ear before it sat

Message" with its triumphal finale, and

derfuI f1exibility. mounted the intricacies
of the melody with victorious case.
Taken all in all. the recital was the
most successful of either course, and JUS

Zeimer and company Have to Offer
for a Christmas Selection.
1t was only the first of last October
that Zeimer & Company opened their
store at Sixth avenue and Fifteenth street,
New York. but the success that has
attended the venture already places it on
a par with the older establishments. 1t
endears itself to the Christmas shopper
for the excellence of its goods and The re-
markably reasonable prices that rule. On
the main floor the principal Christmas
novelties are to be found in the jewelry,
leather and fancy goods deDartments.
Upstairs in the picture department, the
display is unusual in excellence ana
variety. Here are framed a~rtotypes,
photographers, remarque etchings, water
colors and steel e~ngrayings, in frames
that make a true artistic setting. Here
also are crayops, made to order for the
smallest sun for which work was ever
done. The lamps make a fine showing
in silver and gold aud pocelaiu, onyx aud
brass, with shades all pulled and be-
Iuf1ed.
The millinery department on the Sec

combinations of fur. felt and flowers, and
nearby is the holiday stock of cIoaks
and suits. from which so many ara select

FAKE Moralists in Disgrace.

EaA6 N4OEdlISIS HI DtSSEtSO
New York has seldom seen anything
quite so farcical as the present plight
of certain of its very good citizens, OF
the class whose energies are all direct
ed to caring for the morals of other
people.
The Rev. DR.. Parkhurst is pretty
well proven, by this time, to be either
the moral accomplish or the dupe and
tool of rare lot of scoundrels. One
of his immediate supporters is under
indictment on a charge of blackmail,
and the evidence is so strong against
him that it is hard to see how he can
escape conviction. Another of the
Doctors men, Sexton Huyler, stands
convicted at the public bar of, to say
the least, an extraordinary piece of
meanness.
OF course, nobody supposes DR..
Parkhurst is out for money. He is
too well paid by his church; but the
work he has undertaken is so filthy
that it is not in mortal to keep it
clean. If DR.. Parkhurst's motives are
as pure and high as he claims. then
we suppose he is only a weak simple
ton in the hands of shrewd and dis
honest scoundrels. II his motives are
as bad as Superintendent Byrnes rep
resents them, then it is likely he
knows the sort of men he is dealing
with, and finds them the most suit
able for his purposes. Perhaps the
real Parkhurst is a mixed being-half
crazy and half spiteful, half fanatic
and half charlatan; half green and
half cunning. Perhaps this theory
of mixed motives best fits the whole
record of his career. But whatever
else he may be. the Rev. Doctor is
all obscene-an offense to the nostrils
of a self-respecting community.
A second moral busybody, Colonel
Elliott F. Shepard, stands revealed to
the public in his true light. Let every
man draw his own conclusions from
the evidence regarding that queer
check transactions; at least nobody
can be in any doubt as to the abom-
Unable Pharisee's whisky-drinking
propensities. To those who knew the
miserable hypocrite in private life, it
was well known that his total abstin-
ence preaching was all done for bust
ness purposes; but the amenities OF
social intercourse had protected him
until he dragged his habits and his
character into a court of law of his
own volition. Now it is not only
proven on oath that he can take his
liquor to the point of inebriety, but
even that he can do so in a public bar
room.
Now we think there is no sin in
drinking either champagne or whisky,
or beer, or anything else in moder.
alton. We think that even the abuse
of liquor is no worse morally than the
sin of gluttony or sloth. But we
think to drink and then to lie about
it, directly or theoretically, is a vile
offence. To play the %hypocrite and
Pharisee, to turn up ones eyes and
denounce publicly the thing one does
and enjoys, and thinks it right to dc
and enjoy, is not only to depravt
ones own manhood, to sap ones own
moral nature. but also to impair and
undermine the morality of others, by
making them cynics and sceptics with
out a fixed idea of truth and without
reliable principles of right.
We have always thought Colone
Shepard a pretty bad man. We ar
glad to see him exposed.
