$160. OF course this piece of piracy
did not concern the Street and Water.
Board, but it is a fair gauge of the
honesty of the public work in general
done by the same printer and of the
bills which ne rendered for it. And
this same printer does pretty nearly
all the work for the Street and Water
Board.
Perhaps the printer in question
would like to have THE News indict-
ed for libel for calling this tax bill
transaction robbery. So should we.
Or perhaps Sheriff Toffey's Grand
Jury might like to look into it and
incidentally to inquire as to how a
certain genial and popular employee
of the City Collector came to o. K.
the bill in a fit of temporary aberra-
ton of mind.

THE DEAR IRISH BOY"
An Excellent Entertainment at the
Opera House.

Opera House.
"The Dear Irish Boy" an extremely clever
comedy-drama by Dan Mccarthy, was pro-
duced last night in the New Opera House by
Mr.. Gus Reynolds Company.
The play depicts the Vaccinations of a
needy squire and his villainy in trying to
secure the hand of a young lady whose rela-
tive had been murdered by the squire's fol
lower. As in all good Irish dramas the vii
lain is exposed and summarily dealt with;
the lady is restored to him whom she loves;
the ''infolmer'' is either drowned or shot,
and everything winds up satisfactorily to all
except the two gentlemen mentioned, the
villain and his companion in crime. AS the
latter Mr.. Reynolds is in a role admirably
adapted to his versatility. His presence is
good, his acting real and possesses the charm
that he is perfectly natural and free from
the "ranting defect"
Miss Eileen O'Connell, the leading lady in
the drama, played by Miss Amy Russell,
was a pleasing and artistic creation. Mrs.
Mary E. Barker, as Mrs. DAILY, demands
also special notice. The ''old woman part"
was in good hands and made a strong fea-
ture. Nellie, Miss Kathleen Morris, was
also a good impersonation.
After these may be mentioned the evil
1ain, Nicholas Kane, which Frank Roberts
made attractive and effective: Teddy O'Neil,
by Paddy Miles, and Con O'Reardon, by D.
Sullivan, all of which were excellently
played. Indeed, the company is a strong
one. Mr.. Reynolds is well supported, and
the parts run as smoothly as possible. In
terpersed in the plot, and which make a dis
tinct feature of the comedy drama are the
dancing and songs by Mrs. Barker, Miss
Morris and Messrs. Paddy Miles and James
Furlong.
These are all well worthy of the applause
showered upon them for their work.
Throughout there is little to be desired in the
piece. 1t is well put on and should receive
generous patronage from those who love a
witty sketch of Irish country life. 1t will be
played all the week.

The Popular j. X. Murray Again at
the Academy of Music.

The Popular J.. IA. Murray Again at
the Academy of Music.
For the second season W. H. Powers ro-
mantle Irish drama, "Glen-da-Lough, made
its appearance at the Academy of Music last
night. The play has been somewhat changed
since last year; the plot has been altered a
little, with advantage to its probability, and
the cast, while essentially the same as last
year, has gained in the experience of a sea-
son. The star, j. K. Murray, is one of the
best romantic actors that visit the Academy.
The critics agreed last year that he had a
remarkable voice, but it is so much i'm
proved since that time as to be with difficulty
recognized. 1t has gained in breadth, in
tone quality and by leaving out excessive
tremulo effects. The scene in which the
love-crazed girl reaches the very edge of the
precipice and is decoyed back from destruc-
tion by his singing is irresistibly touching.
AS Terrence OHToole, Murray is a decided
success. His most successful song was the
beautiful kathleen Mavourneen.n
Clara Lane, who shared with him the
centre of the stage, as Kathleen O'Connor,
is a very pretty girl with a very pretty
voice. Her ingenious manner is charming.
Her scene with an excellent actor, Charles
Smiley, as Lord Montgomery, in which her
innocent appeals cause him to give up his
designs upon her honor, was excellently sus-
tanned.
The scenery of the play is admirably
realistic, especially "Gauger's Leap" where
Dandy Maggie u. F. Ward goes crashing
down into the torrent. So was the glen of
Glen-da-Lough.
Samuel Morton as DR.. Curley, and Kitty
Morton as Mrs. O'Hara, brought down the
house with their jigs, but it would have
been better to omit their business in the
minuet. It spoils both. Nellie Strickland's
gowns as Lady Angela were something ex-
quisite. The other members of the cast
were: w. n. Power, jr., Charles R. Bur-
rows, Theo. Burkart, James O'Meara, G. c..
Miller, Violet Black, Helen Kemp, Tillie
Davis, Hattie Dellwood, Grace Mcconnell,
Gertrude Hamilton and Madge Mortimer.

ROSS HOBOKEN THEATER.
George Dixon Attracts a Large Audi.
ence--A Good Show.

Opening a three nights engagement George
Dixon's Vaudeville and Speciality Company
occupied the boards at Ross Hoboken
Theatre last night. The show fully equals
any vaudeville of its class on the road and is
one round Of fun md solid entertainment.
Worthy of especial note is the triple bar
performance by the Paterson Brothers,
whose aerial feats are puzzling. The Sisters
Allen in the gauze dance are superb. Kitty
Nelson is accomplished in the buck and
wing dancing. Binns and Burns in musical
specialties are excellent. Miss Burns manipu-
lates two banjos at once and performs a
dancing accompaniment. The other mem
bers are all good. At the end George Dixon,
champion feather weight of the world, ex-
hibits his boxing proficiencies in a four
round sparring match with professor Jack
Lynch Of Philadelphia. The show concludes
on Wednesday night.

PRYOR STOLE BAKED BEANS.

Theodore Pryor, a porter in the employ Of
the Pullman Palace Car Company, was
arraigned before Justice ODonnell this
morning on a charge of stealing nine bottles
of beer, two bottles of appolinaris and two
cans of baked beans from the dining car
"Almeda.n Last night Policeman Ryerson
and Detective Morris found these goods in
Pryor's valise and arrested him. Pryor told
Judge O'Donnel that he bought the goods in
Washington, and although there was no eyl,
dence that he did not buy them he was held
to await the action of the Grand Jury.

Total.

The wilful evasion of law is plain
enough, but. unfortunately. it took
place while the late Orestes Cleveland
was Mayor. and the Street and Water
Board has since adopted a contract
system to cover such work, in obedi-
ence to Mayor Wanser's suggestion.
The Grove street thievery is a similar
backnumber, and so is the tagging at
Belleville. These are the strongest
points the Journal can find in the ar
raignment, and. unfortunately, they
do not apply. But, we re~iterate, they
are still available for the Grand Jury.
They are not yet outlawed and will
not be for some months. There can
be no doubt but indictments can be
based on these facts and they certain
ly should be.
Meantime there is nothing impos-
sible about the framing of good and
sufficient charges. There is any
amount of good material. Either
the committee should go to work
again or some competent person
should take up the task. The rascals
should not be allowed to escape
through a fuke.

A Phase of Street and Water Fraud.

years for the Street and Water Board.
