Germania Theatre, Hoboken.

Sefton's Comic Opera and Vaudeville
Company occupied the boards at the Ger
mania Theatre yesterday, presenting an ad-
mirable attraction. Miss Mary B. Deazle
figured as the star. The curtain rose upon
Harry Sefton's original comic opera, en-
titled, ssFidelia, or a Woman's Love-" a
piece b~ristling with humor and wit. Harry
Seton, with his funny walk, is inimitable in
his line and evoked applause. The pro-
gramme is well made. It concludes with an
extravaganza, introducing incidents of
country life, called "Christobella.n

Academy of Music.

A crowded house greeted Hallen & Hart
at both performances yesterday afternoon
and evening at the New Academy of Music.
1t was the second visit of 1.-The Idea,u the
new comic success of these clever comedians,
and the company, which had many of last
years favorites, did themselves proud. The
two stars, Frederick Hallen as Hoffman
Howes, the youngest son of Gilsey Howes,
with pronounced ideas Of dress and honor,
and Joseph Hart as Clean Bradford. from
the Idea Oil Well" Pennsylvania, received
al ovation. Hallen's dances, as usual, had
to be repeated again and again, and Harris
antics kept the audience in fits of laughter.
Fanny Bloodgood, as Peach Blow, and after
wards as Johnny Gett, shared the honors of
the feminine part Of the cast with Mollie
Fuller as Mrs. Morton Howes. Marguerite
La Mar. as d bewitching widow; Carrie De
Mar as May B. Quiet; Florence Holbrook,
Edith Murray and Jennie CROWN, as young
women with ideas on archery, music and
society, formed the rest of the feminine cast.
J. Aldfich Libbey, as the model son of Gilsey
Howes Charles B. Lawlor); Al Wilson, as
Carl Pretzel; Albert Hawthorne, as the
editor of the Saturday Idea; Larry Dooley
Richard Reab and Charles Retter completed
the roll.
The musical specialties were mainly new
and all pleasing. "She Would Be a Novelty
by Hart and Miss Bloodgood, and a topical
song, when the Man in the Moon Goes to
Sleep" brought down the house. Other
clever songs were 'tYou VIII Get It By and
Bye" ssLove and Archery German
Troubles, +" ''The Ship I Love-" 1.-TWO Sides
to a Story sung and acted by Halien and
Hart, and a s~extette, "Sweet Repose." The
dancing was all graceful and pretty, especially
that by Saunders, a tambourine dance by
May, Gedney, Victoria and Marlborough,
and eccentric dances by Misses Murray and
CROWN. Harris burlesque piano solos, and
several clever parodies of popular songs cap
tured the audience at once. The scenery was
excellent, especially the interior of the .Idea
Keno Club" and the parlor of Gilsey Howes,
city residence in New Orleans.

Brace Up the Fire Department.

= Up AZ II n
The worst lack of the Fire Depart
ment in this city is not in the Depart
ment itself. 1t is in the defective,
antiquated water system. The pipes
are too small under the down town
streets to feed the number of engines
that turn out to a big fire, and enable
them to throw strong streams of water.
Anyone who has watched the puny
jets at great fires in this city and COM
pared them with the giant jets of
New York's engines. must have real
lied that our Department worked at
great disadvantage.
Inside the Department itself, the
great lack is men. 1t is about time
for false economy, in respect to this
Department, to cease. Property own
ers are paying out in insurance
premiums pretty nearly what they
save on taxes. The rate has been GO
ng up steadily for the last five years,
and n or two big fires here would
operate to make it practically pro-
hibitive. We think very highly of
our Department, SO far as it goes. 1t
has good oficers-no better anywhere
and brave and sturdy men. We
grant that the "buffaloes" are as good
as any buffaloes can be. But the De-
partment will never be able to make
quick time and do good work until
every company is raised to standard
force, and all the men are brought
under regular Departmental discipline
and training.
In our judgment the Central Alarm
System is secondary to this OF her
greater need. 1t is, of course, a good
thing. We must and will have it in
time; but, with a little improvement,
the present. system could be made to
do a year or two more until the tax
paying capabilities of the city grew a
little, and the cost of the new men
had ceased to be felt. Indeed, there
may be some room to doubt whether
a great abundance of new hose, war
ranted not to burst under ordinary
pressure. and a couple OF high power
engines for our new high buildings
would not be a better investment than
$25. 900 alarm plant.
Chief Denmead's highly practical
suggestion about insulated wire
should be carried out, however. This
is bagateile as TO cost and q bonanza
us to result.

THIS is by no means a merry Christ T.
mas for the Street and Water rascals.
They got another bad black eve from
the Supreme Court on Saturday,
when Judge Albeit filed his decision
upon the application of Allan L. Nc
matter of the asphalt pavement con-
tracts. This is a case which Illus
trates the principle that, even if they
NEAR we'll, corrupt and vicious ofhc-
ials can only do the city harm. We
do not really think-at least we have
no evidence-that there was any
bribery in this matter. The commits
sioners gave a reasonable explanation
of their course. and they may have
intended, as they claim, to try an ex-
pertinent useful to the city, by testing
the relative merits of the two com
panies' work, side by side. But, SO
hardened in their habits of ignoring
the law had these five men become,
that they never thought of consider
ing whether their action was in ac-
cordance with it. They just wanted
to do the thing, as Mr.. Cook said, and
they did it, law or no law. Gener-
ally, the thing was a bad and crimi-
nal thing; but, if nee in a while it
happened to be good, that did not
matter.
Let us hope that when Mayor Wan
ser gets that evidence typewriter.
he will make short work of the gang.
The charge made against School
Director Elijah S. Cowles that he sem
young girls, pupils of the High
School, out circulating petitions for
the Cooking School is a serious one.
He owes it to himself and the public
to disprove it if it is untrue. If it is
true, he has the floor for explanation,
if such a preposterous misdirection of
zeal can be explained.
One useful result ONE frcm the
highly improper proceeding, anyway.
1t proves the desperate unpopularity
OF the Cooking Glass. If these ladies
could only get 10 signatures to a
petition favoring it, the people must
be pretty solidly opposed to it.

ical effect of scenery in the play. 1t needs
none. 1t is not of the tank or derrick order.
1t is an interesting story, and the characters
therein are well portrayed by a clever com
pany at the Opera House. The story is of
thrilling interest, which gradually increases
situations, which call for a full play of the
histrionic powers of the participants.
Clara Louise Thomson appears as Mrs.
Edith Oakley and admirably s~ustains the
role. Not the least interesting character is
Simon Snipse, an egg and poultry, dealer in
hostess, and who is accused of the crime.
Mr.. Louis Wesley impersonates Simon in a
wonderful manner and introduces a number
of specialties. Frank Drumeir appears as
Sir Charles Gordon, Hugh Ford as Jerry
Harrington, and Myron Leffingwella as Horace
Dserwood. The play will be the attraction
during the week and is one which should be
well patroniZed.

Ross, Hoboken Theatre.

The clever comedy "Dr. Bill" began a
three-days' engagement yesterday afternoon
at Ross Theatre, Hoboken, and the theatre
goers who enjoy a clean play and a hearty
laugh, should not fail to see it. The play is
a laugh from start to finish and at no point
is the interest allowed to flag. The story of
the play is an amusing one and well known
to theatre goers. The part of "Dr. Bill' is
excellently postrayed by Will Miller Farnum,
Mrs. Brown, his wife. is well played by
Stella Lawmann. Lansing Rowan filled the
part of Mrs. Horton in a pleasing and accept
able manner. George Webster, the cause of
the trouble, as played by Mr.. George Robel-
ing was an excellent character.
''Dr. Bilr' will be played tonight, and tomor-
row afternoon and evening.
