interest, and the curtain but once falls on
a "thriliing" tableau.
J. K. Murray's voice Is a rich, sweet

which iu is managed. The best part of
the evening was when The venerable

Miss Sissierretta Jones and Others In
terpret Delightful Music.
Those who attended the fifth In the
Star Course at the First Presbyterian
Church last evening had to wait some
time before the entertain ment began.
Major Pond was profuse with apologies
and explained why the Black Patti, Miss
Sissierretta Jones was delayed. The low
tide which took some of the ferry boats
three-quarters OF IA hour to cross last
night wa ~responsible.
In the meantime. however. the other
performers rendered a delightful pro-
gramme. MFR. Smith sangiGounod's "She
Alone Charmeth My Sadness aud
Meyer Helmund's "Margarita" In a full
bass voice, and "Lagman" made himself
all sorts of great men with wonderful
agility and correctness of detail. His
manGuvres with a black handkerchief,
which he transformed into any number
aud shape of headgear were clever and
mystifying.
A most delightful feature of the even
ing was the Elaying of the Misses Vinola,
two of whom performed on the violin,
while the other, Miss Nina. accompanied
them. Their selections were difficult.

Interpretation. Her one is full, true aud
certain. Her sister, Mics Emmy. in a Sc
lection by SarasRte. also won q call for
an encore, and responded with a charm
ing melody. Miss Nlns, whose work AS
accompanist could only be appreciated
by those who understand the difficulties
of the task, covered herself with glory Ia
the Second Rhapsodie by Liszt.
By this time, Major Pond was happy
to hat Miss Jones had over
all obstacles of wind and wave and
was ready to sing. She was greeted with
a hearty welcome and opened with an
aria from Meyerbeer's Robert Diable."
Her second selection was Gounod's
Ave Maria. with violin accompaniment
by Miss Lilly VInola. As her last, she
sang Way Down Upon the Swanee
River" which was linked sweetness a
trife too long drawn but. Miss Jones
certainly has a beautiful voice, whose
only fault perhaps. lies in a slight
tremulo. Her low tones are very rich
and full.

rough true hearted Irish lass,
always ready with a witty reply, or Tor q
song and dance. Miss Holmes songs ana

COUNTY AGAINST CITY.

The Question of Conflicting Health
Boards Taken to the Supreme Court.
The County Board of Health met yes
terday, but it transacted very little busi-
ness. A communication from the New
Jersey Purifying Company inviting the
Board to visit the company's plant at
Relleville was read and filed. 1t is
at all probable that the Health authorities
will 90 there in their official capacity.
Counsellor Winfield informed the
Board that in his opinion Better & Ped
raglio, store keepers. could not recover
payment from the county for damage
alleged to have been done their goods
when the health authorities ordered them
to be disinfected some months ago. Mr.
Winfield said he could find no law which
would permit the firm to recover.
MIR. Winfield also reported that he had
certioraried the case OF the City
of Hoboken against Patrick Kenny
to the Supreme Court. He
thought the decision in this case
would forever settle the differences be-
tween the County Board OF Health ana
the local Board In Hoboken. In Janu-
ary. while Kenny was gathering fat In
Hoboken under a permit issued by the
COUNTY Board of Health, the Hoboken
ANTICIPATES arrested him for violating a
CITY ordinance. The County Board pro-
fesses that Kenny Dy virtue ol tue per-
nit it had given him, was entitled to
gather fat any where in the County. The
Hoboken people deny this right and
fined Kenny.

nue. sewer was bad, and that sewage

has refused to be mixed up in political
deals of any sort since the people
made him their agent and the guard
of their safety.
There are two sorts of Democracy.
There is the sort which appeals to
the sordid selishness of dictionaries,
which regards patronage and pelf as
at once the end of political activity
and the instrument of party success.
There is the other sort, which
believe in the principles of the party
for principles sake, which is
Democratic because the good, tho
future of the people depend upon the
success of true Democratic principle.
This sort of Democracy holds that
the cardinal rule of political life is
that the people rule, and that only
through obedience to their will can
any party succeed.
This latter is the form of Democ-
racy which we have seen triumph SO
gloriously in recent popular contests.
This is the Democracy of which
Grover Cleveland stands SO pre-
eminently the hero and the chief.
This is the Democracy which has
made the State of New Jersey ring
with the praises of George T. Werts
since his Inauguration, and which has
carried his name to every State In the
Union as a true Democratic states
man. a new figure on the horizon OF
National politics, a new combatant for
honor and justice and the will OF the
people.
Keep on, Governor Werts. You are
making no mistake. The people are
with you-noue more than the honest
democrats of Hudson county. Resist
all pressure and all Establishments to
abate your manly independence. You
are on the same path that Grover
Cleveland trod. Do not be turned
aside.
