of variety performances. The contortion

It's Camera Division Covers lis
Walls With Familiar Scenes.

The music room on the third floor of
the Jersey City Athletic Club was the
scene of a merry gathering last night,
when the Camera Division of the club
which was organized at the suggestio u of
the energetic Frank Clark, exhibited the
'snap shots" the members had taken
during the past summer, The four walls
of the room were almost hidden from
view by artistic productions which re-
fected great credit on the amateur
photographers. About two hundred
persons inspected the pictures last
evening. and nothing but compile
ments were paid to the members Of
the camera division. Some of the pictures
on exhibition are scenes familiar 10 every
one in the city. Occupying a conspicuous
position as a picture of the Central Rail-
road f%erryhouse. There are several views
of Stamford in the Catskills, showing
that Lake the scene of many happy
events which were participated in by

Woods are shown in several views.
TAKING A REST.
One picture attracted particular tatteu-
ton and that one was named Taking a
Rest" which represented a party of Jer-
seyites making the oest OF the soft side of
a rock. Views of the Hudson by moon
light attracted much attention. Several
views of Washington Bridge, in New
York, were exhibited. Pictures of the
steel cruisers Philadelphia, Chicago
Newark and the iron steamboat Taurus
were much admired. A view of the

A DANGEROUS CUSTOM.

Disease Often Carried by kissing th .
Dead,
The custom of kissing the dead, to
which too many yield in their affection
ate devotion to the deceas ed loved one,
should call the attention of the publ ic.
The body of a person who has died of dis
ease-whether of a distinctly contagious
disease or not-iS not a wholesome object.
How often have we seen an entire family
lingering aryund the coffin and repeated
ly kissing the beloved features still in
death and already beginning natures
process of slow dissolutton; and how many
subsequent cases of sickness have we
th uaht might be traced to that as at
least a contributory cause. On this sub
jet the London correspondent of the
american Lancet gives the following
information
at is reported that the Seryians have a
curious custom of giving a parting kiss
to their deceased friends before final
burial. and the observance of it has
caused q serious epidemic of diphtheria.
The Police Project of Belgrade has &C
the custom; prohibiting it for the present,
however. only in the cases Of those per-
sons who have died from that malady.u
A special request of each person in
serious illness should, be, Let no one kiss
me after l am dead" This need not re-
quire that a corpse be regarded with a
sense of horror, with which many seem to
regard it. but merely as a tenement which
the former occupant has left and which
no longer represents him.
The custom of kissing sick people is
also very dangerous and should be dis
couutenanced as strongly as possible

LAST NIGHTS PLAYS.
"Ihe Lost Paradise" at the Acad-
envy "The Limited Mail" at
the Opera House.

Capital and labor had a battle royal at
the Academy Of Music last night. The
cause of the workman and the employer
was fairly shown to the audience, labor
winning for the nonce through the
pleadings of ian angel in p~etUicoats."
The first act of H. G. DeMille's "The
Lost Paradise" reminds one somewhat
of a novel which we have heard praised
on all sides. We take it up and find the
introduction slow. but pursue it just to
find out what people see In 1t. And we
are probably not disappointed. So
with this play. After we have
heard why the heroine's (Margaret
Knowltou's) father has sinned for her
sake, and that he loves her as the apple of
his eye and so on, it is very pleasant to
be introduced TO the real active part of
the play. This practically begins In he
second act, which is a splendid picture,
showing TO rich and poor alike how the
other half lives. 1t has a strong climax
when the employer, begging for tolera-
tinn, for his daughters saKe.i is confronted
by an emplove. likewise a father. and who
pleads for his daughters life.
The interest in the play is conferred in Mr..
Forrest Robinson, as the Superintendent
of the Know1ton Iron Works. 1t is, in
deed, seldom that Jersey City is visited
by SO capable and finished an actor.
There is a quiet dignity about Mr.. Robin
sons appearance that, from the first,
promises &C cd work.. His fine. penetrat-
ing voice, which he uses with excellent
effect. helps much to win the favor of his
audience. He is very strong in the frs t
act. after he has been rejected by his en-
ployer's daughter. Many an actor would
nave seized this opportunity to writhe in
agony or shake with sobs, but Mr.. Robin
son bore it quietly, as a manly man might
be expected to-.
The humor of the play Is afforded by
two young COUPLES, one of which makes a
picture as grotesque as the other is
pretty. But the palm as a laughter
provoker must be awarded to Cinders,
(Miss Fanny Cohen) whose eyes and work
are far above the average.

WHATEVER sentiment had been
hung decoratively about the claims
of those UNPAID laborers' was I'M
compensatory knocked out by the
revelation that, almost without excep-
ton, the men had received the full
amount due them. In some cases
they went to money lenders n n.y.
pothecated the claims. In one or
two cases, business men, to whom
they owed money, took the claims In
settlement. In one or two cases, rich
men cashed the claims out of sym
pathy. We believe there are not
over two or three cases, at the most,
in which the laborers have a dollar to
gain by the issue of the suits now on
appeal.
The latest move places in the light
of a caricature the pretence tnat
Mayor Wanser had not strong color OF
law for the course he pursued. Law
yer Wells has drawn a bill, which is
to be introduced at Trenton, to egal-
ize the rejected claims. Now, if the
claims are legal, why is this bill to be
passed?
By the way, we do not see how
such a measure can become a law this
year. 1t is distinctly a private bill,
and 1t has not received the adver-
tisement required to make it Constitu-
tional. To pass a public bill which
would open the door wide enough to
let these claims through, would sim ply
be to invite wholesale robbery in the
future.

The people OF Wyoming who permit
women to vote are apparently not in
sympathy with the English bachelor OF
long ago, who got himself into q. conrro-
versy on The subject of women's rights
with his UtS G-uiS at Inner. After PRONG
and coming tor a few minutes. the lady
asked, "Candidly, sir, why do you oppose
giving the franchise 10 women?"
"You will excuse me for saying 1t,
madam" he replied. but l have not
sufficient confidence in their capacity TO
conducE government affairs"
but what evidence OF woman's men,
tai inferiority to man can you advancef"
persisted the lady.
The bachelor thought a moment, and
then answered, slowly. "a simple fact is
enough to satisfy my mind. and that is
