PEOPLE were amazed last evening
at the energy and enterprise of THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS in printing the
full text of the Presidents Hawaiian
Message. There were only two other
papers in the whole State which laid
before their readers this, the most inn
portant State paper of the present
generation, except, perhaps, the tariff
message of 1887. These two were the
Newark Neaos and Advertiser. The
Journal of this city gave about half
the document in the form of shame
lessly garbled aud mutilated extracts.
People will learn from this, as from
numerous other similar occurrences,
that if they want to read the news of
the day THE JERSEY CITY NEWS is
the only paper TO find it in in this
county.

The Open House.

San American Hero" a scenic play with a
melodramatic flavor about it, was presented
last night at the Opera house by the author,
Clint G.. Ford and a fairly good company.
The argument of the play is principally the
many attempts of a rascally nephew to OBJ
| tain control of his pretty Cousins share of
their dead uncle's fortune. This nephew ex-
hibits an astonishing amount of enterprise.
He first shoots his uncle and then tries to
abduct his cousin Gladys. He is prevented
by the american Hero" who has a faculty
| for appearing in the nick of time clothed in
most extraordinary guises, and giving ut
t~erances to most patriotic sentiments on
every and all occasions. When this nephew
fndS he cannot steal his cousin he tries to
| poison her. Again the american Hero
Then the rascal attempts to drown her. Once
| more the ''heron is on hand, and 'foils your
dastardly seurhemes, " accent on the 'sch.')
Finally seeing he cannot steal, poison or
| drown the heiress he offers to marry her, but
she opposes his wishes this time as on pre-
| vious occasions, and the ''hero," like another
Deus ex machina, comes to her aid and
| eventually marries her. There is a mysteri-
Gus Spanish woman mixed up in the play
who appears shrouded in a hood, puts her
finger to her lips and mutters something
about revenge At the end she is the mother,
| sister and wife of everybody who lacked any
| one of these relatives, and the whole thing
| winds up to ev~erybody's satisfaction.
Mr.. Ford, as the hero, has a picturesque
part which he uses to advantage. Miss
Bertha ST. Clair as Celeste, Miss Roher as
| Harry Hoffman, and Miss Jennie Kenduck
as the heroine, played admirably with life
| and much feeling. Indeed, their work was
infinitely more artistic than that of the male
members of the cast. Delaney, the villain,
was a yillainous piece of acting: poor, poor,
indeed. Very much better was Bryan's part
played. Mr.. Brettun in this was refreshing.
Besides, he sings well. Other characters
| played by Clark Earl, C. HI. Mckinley, w.
N. HamInel and j. G. Miller were creditably
worthy Of special praise and that is the
scenery. This is ex~cellently painted; and
the effects are admirable. With the infusion
of a little more life the "Hero' ought to
have and is worthy of a large patronage. It
is clean, bright and has its humorous veins,
forcibly and ably treated.

AM MENTS.
Academy of Music.

"The World Against Her" is now at the
Academy. This time-honored play is inter-
esting for its service as a link to what is
rapidly becoming the past-the moral melo-
drama. The action takes place in and about
London. There is a moral Punch-and-Judy
man, a moral adventures, a moral heroine
and a moral though ill-adyised hero. The
immortality of the villain is fairly eclipsed
by the goodness of all the rest. The play as
a whole is OF the sort that one may find in
that valuable work of reference, "Mr.
Punch,s Model Music Hall Dramas"
There is the misjudged wife, the misjudg-
ing husband and the angel child. There is
the pursuit of the heroine by the villain
through four acts, only to be 'foiled again
in the fifth, located in a den under the side
walk. There is plenty of excitement, but
it's the easiest thing in the world to see that
it does not belong to present day realistic
drama. Which means that it is more inter
esting.
The men in the play easily surpassed the
women. There were two very tall young
men, w. H. Hamburg and Albert Livingston
who were very good. William Nichols was
the villain, Sam p. Villa the irascible CAPT
talist, w. w. Taylor the broken hearted
father, Charles t. Payne, Bob Willett,
Francis Hall, Robert Whitney and Frank
Sheldon in small parts.
Agnes Wallace Villa played Madge Carl
ton. When one had grown used to her ap-
pearance she proved to be a very clever
actress. Her best scene was with the child
called on the bills Petite Mabelle,n one OF
the best child actresses on the road. She has
every requisite for future success. There
was another excellent child actress, little
Rosa Mafston, as a mountebank. This child
is enough older than the first to play more
thoughtful parts. Otherwise they seem
about equal. There were two other actresses
III the cast who were worthy of high praise
-Sahra Deshon as the adventures, and az
actress billed as Miss Veo, as Sallie Millett.
Lucie K. Villa played the part of an i'll
genue, Ada Harcourt a dive-keeper, and
Tags, a Spanish poodle, represented him
