BOILING THE LOBSTERS.
From the Ne,Oark Evening Ne.os.

From the NetodfE Evening Nel1S.
( One by one the HOLSTERS are coming to
the front with attempted explanations of
their betrayal of the State to the racetrack
gamblers. A~ssemblyman John J. Dupuy
of Bergen county is one of the last to take
the floor. At the meeting of the Ruther-
for Borough Council the other night, he
told the fellow townsmen that it was to
his devotion to their interests that his
votes on the racetrack bills were due.
He was trying to pass a sewer bill needed
by the town, and he could not have got
the votes that he needed, so he said. unle IS
he had given his vote to the racers. Other
members of the Senate and Assembly
have made explanations of this same kind.
There is no doubt that the agents of the
boss gamblers did some expert n we'll
devised log-roiling in behalf of their pet
measure, But this fact does not warrant
any member of the Legislature in ex-
cusing himself for voting for bills of the
Kind to which the race track measures
belong. The issue here was one of
morality, aud the choice was between
criminals. The men who excuse their
vote for the ubiquitous bills, or their
rendering OF other assistance TO the bills
promoters, by saying That they voted MS
they did to help local measures OF their
own along the road to passage, do not
justify their conducts

GOOD CARDS AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The bill provided for the entertainment at
Mullone's New Opera House last evening was
one of rare excellence and of sufficient attrac-
ton to draw an appreciative audience that
nearly filled the house. The entertainment,
though being of the variety order, was CT a re-
fined character, from which all the coarseness
and gaudy accomplishments OF the usual run OF
variety shows were entirely eliminated, every
feat ure produced being of the highest order,
afording pure and unsulhed amusement which
could be relished by The most fastidiouS, and or
which the audience expressed in applause the
utmost satisfa ction. In all respects it was a
cheerful and highly pleasing performance. Inc
artists who participated were specialists CT the
the highest grade and rendered their respective
parts with a perfectness quite refreshing.
Prof. vogler and orchestra played with their
accustomed excellence, opening. with
a march, 1.-THE National Guard" and
the overture. Elisa and Claudio"
The programme included the Marine
Ouartette; Harry Bryant, ventriloquist and
humorist, who in his well-executed feats OF ven
triloquism, combined with real humor, won
much applause. The Royal Castilian Trouba-
dours, in snowy costumes, were particularly
pIeasinei in mandolin and tambourine playing
and their artistically executed tambourine,
dance. The character vocalist, Miss GertFude
Fort, beautifully rendered several choice
vocal selections. TiH's Royal Marionettes af-
forded a rich fund of amusement. The vocalist
and imitator, John A. Hogan, gave a remarka-
bly, accurate imitation OF the late actor, Emmet,
as Fritz, both in his dialect dialogue and famous
vocalism, the realism OF which was exceedingly
effective. Soprano solos by Miss Emily Pearce,
and James Binns and Jessie Burns 10 musical Sc
lections on a variety, of instruments, witt all or
which they showed perfect familiarity and
superior skill, and last, John Flynn. styled the
sfComedy Creator" whose humorous songs and
saw ngs were quite original, received many
encores. During the evening Prof. Vogler and

HOMECOMING To FLYNN.
From the Jersey Citu Evening Journal.

From the Jersey Citu Evening journal.
Some men must be peculiarly con-
stituted mentally aud morally. II 1t were
not so it would have been impossible for
the spectacle to AVE been presented in
the Assembly Chamber of the State House
on the last day of the recent disreputable
session of the Legislature, when Mr.. Iom
Flynn, the Speaker of the Assembly, was
made the recipient OF a set OF d1amond
studs, and was told by such Assembly
men as Lane, Studer and Salinger that
he was to be commended for
the fairness and impartiality" OF his
official action as Speaker of the Assem-
bly,. That is what the A~ssemblyman,
who was made the spokesman on the
occasion of the presentation of the dia-
mond studs to Flynn, said. Did they
believe that what they were saying was
true? Did a single member of the Assem-
bly believe it was true? Not one OF them.
They all knew that Flynn's conduct III
the Chair had been grossly, notorl-
ously unfair: that he had hagrantly Vio-
lated parliamentary rule aud presidents;
had mad false announcements ofhcially
from the Chair; had misdtrected
legislation; had outrageously 1u-
suited the people or New Jer-
sey, and prevented them from exer-
cising their rights, and had subordinated
the public interests and the public vel
fare to private and disreputable purposes.
How could these Assemblymen stand up
and tell FLYNN that they felt that he had
discharged his official duties with due re-
gard to fairness, or even decencyP Yet
they did it. They stultiied themselves
when they did it, and the whole exhibit
was ~reprenensiole and disgusting. The
idea that any se%lf-respecting man should
'kow-tow" to Tom Flynn after the ex-
hipition hi he had made OF himself In
the Speakers Chair!

Guests at an Afternoon Tea Delighted
BY the Tales of a Bright Young Girl.
The introduction of a form of enter
tainment at once novel, interesting and
Of Intellectual value, is an event of in
portance in these days when entertain
ing has become a fine art. The fifty or
more guests at the residence of Mrs. T..
G. Lyle, Suydam avenue, last Saturday
afternoon. agreed that Miss Noble. who
made her DEBUT in the city as a T0cOnteur.
had introduced a diversion that appealed
TO everyone.
Miss Noble told the story of "Our
Mutual friend" simply. earnestly. merg-
ing her own personality completely in
that assumed by the author, giving the
impression, subsequently confirmed by
conversation, that 1t was a natural pref
erence and long acquaintance with
Dickens as an author, that en-
abIed her to speak almost with his
lips. As her story approached
scenes of importance in the development
of the plot, she read them aloud. Miss
Mobiles reading aloud is as Sympathetic
as her storytelling. She does not raise
her voice above conversational pitch.
makes no attempt at Evolutionary effects,
aims to produce upon the listener the
same effect that an understanding reader
would obtain from the printed page. She
has evidently a keen sense of humor, aud
kept ripples OF merriment passing over
the room as she spoke in the tones of
Mrs. Wilfer, while on the other hand,
something susplciously like tears might
have been seen as she read Of the blessed
children in long slanting rows"
AS Miss Noble succeeded in exactly
trapScribing the plot of what Is generally
believed the most complicated of Dickens
novels, in which there are SO many char
acters that siXty-hve were mentioned in
the course of the afternoon, she may be
said to nave passed the hardest test in her
FIRST appearance. Her development of the
story was such as to Inc the parts
into a coherent whole, as for example,
her beginning With the story of John
Harmon, told at the Veneerings' dinner,
not with the weird scene on the river.
Among the more effective scenes were
the meeting of Wegg and Bofin and the
visit to Boffin's Bower, the appearance of
Bella Wilfer, the interview with Betty
Higden, the visit of Sloppy TO Jenny
Wren, and. perhaps best of all, Lizzie
Hexam's confidence to the dolls dress
maker.
1t is hard to realize that this young girl
has not only originated. the idea, but
brought 1t to its present state unaided.
Miss Noble does not attempt any didae-
tics, she simply tells the story. and leaves
the rest to the audience.
AT the conclusion of the reading, Mrs.
w. Hunter Brown played a Polonaise
Militaire aud responded to a recall. Mrs.
Lyle was assisted in receiving by Miss
Kate Crowen, who poured chocolate at
the conclusion of the programme, and by
a number of young ladies, all the receiv-
ing party being in evening dress.

PARIS A CLEAN CITY.

At the lecture given by Professor Cromwell att
the Academy of Music last evening, the subject
was Paris and Mr.. Cromwell told of
the many pretty places in the beautiful
city In his inimitable way. A stereopticon threw
views upon a large sheet which was stretched
on the stage. The views were excellent and
gave the audience a splendid idea af the appear
ance of the city. The National Museum: the
Grand Opera House, the leading hotels and ave-
nues we're remarkably well portrayed. The
most noticeable feature of Paris ,''said Mr.. Crom-
well, sis the clean streets. The residents of the
city take great pride in keeping the streets as
clean as possible, and, as a result, they have a
fine city. There seems to be an impression
among Americans that Parisians are awfufly
immoral. This is not SO. l found them as we'll
behaved as native Americans"
The views OF the exterior and interior of the
National Museum were much admired, The
many noted statues in the museum were shown,
among them being the celebrated statue of
Venus" The lecture closed with the allegory
.sRock of Ages" On next Sunday evening Mr..
Cromwell will lecture on London"

MISS G2AHAM'S WILL.

Counsellor Gilbert Collins for Mrs. Ann Rid
dell brought suit in the Orphans Court Saturday
before Judges Hudspeth and Kenny to have the
will of Mary Graham, her sister, set aside. Mary
Graham died January 81, 1898, at the age Of
eighty years. She left personal property to the
value of SIS, 900. Surviving her were two sisters,
named Mary whitney, Shortly before her death,
the old lady went to live with Mrs. O'Hare on
York street. In O will drawn before Lawyer w.
G. e. See, on May 10, 1892, Miss Graham left
each of her sisters and niece Sl00 and to
Mrs. O'Hare the remainder of her property.
Mrs. RiddeiI was left out in the cold and sues on
the grounds that her sister was duly influenced
and was, at the time of the making of the will,
mentally incapacitated to make such a will.
The case is still Oh.

The BootIicking servility displayed by
Assemblyman Lane in paying the
usual" compliment to Starter Flynn, at
the close Of the session, is fttingly
characterized by the Monmouth Demo-
crdt. in an article reproduced in today's
Gazette. The custom of paying these So
called compliments to the presiding
officers of the two Houses would have
been more honored in the breach h IN
the observance, in the cases of Flynn and
IAdrain. NO two men ever before SO
fagr ,ntly and shamelessly trampled
upon the usages aud laws OF their po-
slt.ons as the Speaker and President of
the late House and Senate. To compli-
meut them deprives the custom OF all dis

WATER AT LAST.

Found at . Depth of 400 Feet in the
Rear of the Weldon Building.
All winter, through rain and snow. two
men, with the aid of a small steam en-
CINE, have been boring into the earth in
the yard, in the rear of the Weldon Build
ing, for water. Wednesday their labors
were rewarded, and at a depth Of 400 feet
they found chat for which they sought.
A stream of water was struck which
flowed at times at the rate of seven gal
Ions per minute, and ran up as high as
fourteen gallons per minute.
It is not certain that the supply is per-
manent, and 1t will take u week or more
TO determine that fact. If it IS perma-
nent, arrangements will be made to up
ply the entire building with the fluid.
