MANAGER wHITNEY,s STATEMENT
Why Miss Post Sang Francesca In
stead Of Mrs. MaplesOn.

stead Of Mrs. MaplesOn.
The fact that Miss Lily Post sang the role
of Francesca in the Fencing Master at
Albaughs last night instead of Mrs. Laura
Schirmer Mapleson caused considerable
comment among amusement goers. especial
ly those who had not carefully followed the
announcements in regard to the opera.
According to card signed by Col. Maple
son, published in the Dramatic News, there
have been several changes in the manage
ment since the company started out, but
it is under the control Of Mr.. F. c. Whit
ney, and Mrs. Mapleson is simply a salaried
singer, her husband having no part in the
business interests whatever. The colonel
concludes his card as follows: MY feelings
to all concerned are most friendly. and,
judging from the present big business,
The Fencing Master is q winner"
Manager Whitney, when seen today by
Star reporter, expressed considerable sur
prise at the statement that had gained cur
rency that Mrs. Mapleson was not notified
until O'Clock last evening that she was
not to sing Francesca, for he said II was
absolutely untrue. He said that there was
no difficulty in the company, nor between
himself and Mrs. MaplesOn. He added:
Madam Mapleson will sing this evening
as well as the remainder of the week. The
statement made by Col Mapleson as to the
late notification to his wife that she was
not to sing last night Is merely an attempt
at cheap advertising for his wife, as 1t was
announced in the press of this city last
week that Miss Post, the other star of the
Fencing. Master company. would sing
Thursday night, and the colonel is well
aware that his wife. who has a light voice.
is unable to sing eight times per week with
out wearing too heavily on her voice. Fur
thermOre, he was informed Tuesday noon
by my manager. Mr. Collier, in the presence
OF Mr.. Harry Fiske. the manager Of AL
baugh's Theater, that his wife would not
be required to sing Thursday night. Miss
Post sang last evening, and judging by the
reception she received her performance was
perfection.
There is no disagreement between Madam
Mapleson and myself, and as far as Col.
Mapleson Is concerned he has nothing to
do with my business in any way"

peafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There ID
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachlan tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound, or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

IT is fitting thing that Supreme Court
Justice Job H. Lippincott, should be the
first of the judges in New Jersey to take
up the gage of battle that the race track
gamblers, drunken with power. insolent
in wealth and brazen in assurance, flung
down to the courts and the people of the
State.
1t may be that the strong and eloquent
words addressed to the Hudson County
Grand Jury on Tuesday fell upon dull
ears. Term after term, and year after
year, inquests in that county have been
drawn with the deliberate intention of
shielding and protecting lawbreakers of
the classes arraigned by Judge Lippincott.
The Guttenburg racetrack, the Harrison
pool-rooms, the policy dens, the violators
Of the Sunday laws, have had their inter
ests watched over by the Sheriff's Office.
Again and again did Judge Knapp call
for the dealing out of equal justice to or
ldinary and to privileged law-breakers.
Indignant humiliation that all his efforts
to make an end of scandalous liberation
of certain phases of crime were in vain,
fastened without doubt, the death of
this just and able jurist. Judge Werts,
too, during his brief service on the bench,
did not fail in discharging his duty in this
particular.
But in securing justice against protected
offenders, Judge Lippincott, besides show
ing energy and fidelity to duty, has had
the fortune to command success. The
Court Of Pardons might release the ballot
box suffers and the dive keepers who had
considered themselves above the law un-
til in his Court they learned their mis-
take. But the Ex-Governor and the wood
en- judges, when they let the unrepentant
rascals go free, could not destroy the
force or the memory of the convictions.
1t is with the prestige of success in past
struggles with powerful infamy. crime and
blackguardism that this Judge enters the
lists against Iegalized gambling.
The portion Of his charge in which,
while recognizing the existence of the
Gamblers Own laws, he urges the Grand
Jury to proceed against the Guttenburg
track managers. is interesting The old
law declaring such gambling places COM
mon nuisances or disorderly houses and
the persons who keep or maintain such
places. or who aid, abet or participate in
their maintenance indictable as keepers
of disorderly house, is still to be consid-
cred in force, he says. and il to be the
Grand Jury's rule Of. conduct. The gam
blers got Senate and Assembly all their
own, but if the other Judges Of the State
agree with Judge Lippincott. all the
structure that the law-breakers builded
with so much cunning and care and cost
may speedily be brought down crashing
upon the heads of its architects. Nea0ark

TUESDAY APRIL Ii, 1893.

THE Pittsburg Law and Order Society,
which has been prosecuting newsdealers
and carriers under blue law passed in
1894 for handling papers on Sunday, now
announce that the publishers of Monday
morning papers are to be prosecuted if
work on those papers is begun before mid
night on Sunday. Such bigotry belongs
to the days of the Salem witches. The
action of the Pittsburg inquisition should
bring the law of 1894 into such odium as
to cause its speedy abrogation. 1t ought
to have been abolished years ago.
