PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CAN'T ATTEND.
special to The JERSEY City Neus.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. II, 189S.-
President Cleveland today notified the
New Jersey Senators that it will be i'm
possible for him 10 attend the Battle
Monument celebration at Trenton. This
decision was not unexpected, especially
rs it has become more aud more evident
during the past ten days that Congress
would be in session OIL the 18th. 1t is
likely that the continuation of tie silver
struggle will also tend to prevent the
presence Of many other d!stinguis he'd
men who would have been glad to par
ticipale in such an historical occasion as
the dedication of the monument.
When your correspondents spoke to
Vice President Stevenson n Speaker
Crisp today about their visit they said
that they had not abandoned the hope of
attending the celebration. Dut it was
very doubtful whether they could get
away. The session will also Interfere
very largely with the attendance Of Sem
ators. MIR. Mcpherson and Mr.. Smith
will be present, but they will not be
accompanied by as many of their col
leagues as they had hoped.

HIS MANY LETTERS.

A Jersey City "Pooh Bah'' was placed In
rather awkward position last Saturday evening.

of lettering the car up and down at the risk of

TRIALS OF M0TORMEN.
It Looks Easy Enough to Run a Car, But
1t Is Not.

1t Looks Easy Enough to Run a Car, But
1t Is Not.
To one who has never tried it, nothing
seems simpler than running an electric
car. There are a good many simpler
things. however, n as q matter OF fact
some men who want jobs as motormcn on
the street railway have to give up be-
cause they cannot learn to handle the
car. In the first place. considerably
strength Is reQuired TO manipulate the
brake. properly. aud in the next place
there Is q peculiar motion turning the
brake hands, one way q the cram for
shutting on the power the other wal a.
the same time that it Is not easy Co learn.
The local railroad has no regular:school
Tor training the men who aspire to run
electric cars, but they hsv a regular sys.
tenn of teaching the r ecruits the business.
and every new man has TO go through a
certain line OF training before he is al
lowed to take charge of u car.
When a man applies for a position as
molorman he is placed on the waiting
list, and when the company begins to
get a little short OF men and his turn
comes round he is ssnt for and put
on a car with one of the experienced
men. For about TWO days be stands on
the front platform of the car and watches
the driver manipulate the brake an d
turn the current on and of. After he
has learned this and become familiar
with all the curves and switches be is
allowed to try his hand at running the
car. The first thing he does after the
car starts Is to get nervous aud Won
der how long it will take him to bring
1t to a standstill after a passenger has
signalled that he wants to get off. He
begins to sweat, AMI before the car has
gone half a mile he is played out and is
glad to give up to his teacher. This goes
on for about a day. or until the new man
gets a little confidence, and then he
gradually learns the trick of stoppi ng
the car so quickly that IL will bring the
passengers TO their feet.
In addition to this, he is obliged to
gain a sufficient knowledge OF the con-
structiou of che motor to be able to
repair slight breaks aud put in burned
out fuses. 1t is usually about two
weeks before he is competent to take
charge of a car alone, aud even then he
eau learn something more about rum ing
one every daV.

THE POWER OF GOLD"
Again Delighted a Large Audience
at the Academy Of Music.

THE Power of Gold" the best Of
Walter Sauford's productions. came to
the Academy last night to open a weeks
engagement. There is not a play on the
boards where one can get so much battle,
murder and sudden death for the money.
Even as it is this year. with the strongest
set of all-the last-so reconstructed as to
make a tame and commonplace ending,
there is enough matter In the play to
furnish forth ten melodramas. Seriously,
the play is too often undereStimRted. 1t
has a carefully developed plot, several
strikingiy original situations, and, best of
all, all of the important roles are valuable
character studies. Whether they were
given as the playwright wished by the
company last night Is a matter debatable.
For example. the heroine Iisle Leigh.
In the hands Of Amelia Bingham, last
year, the scene in which she leaves her
husband senselesS on the floor, believing
him drunk, becomes a revelation of a
woman's character. 1t is the act of a
woman. forced by her duty to he child,
to cast from her forgiveness of the errlng
husband, Miss Leigh's conception was
rather of a woman vindictive from what
she considered q betrayal of trust. The
former is the more dignifed-the more
consistent with her subsequent actions.
ln0 CudId C1cE u lu6 tQf6utuE6SS III LQlS
play was always q f~avorite of mine,
because it is neither completely good nor
completely bad, but the complex organi-
zation of a woman whose primal impulses
were good, but whose worser nature is
constantly directing her. In the play she
should commit her crimes rather to con-
ceal past errors and keep herself in the
path which she has found more pleasant.
She kills her former husband because if
she does not he will bring her back to her
former life. not because she wishes to kill
something. The adventures in this cast
is better adapted in looks than the one of
last year, but her Interpretation is more
commonplace, and almost all these fine
touches are lost. Her name Is Mary
Timberman.
The one in the cast whose work was
absolutely fiawless was the escaped thief,
Mark Harley. The role is just such a
study of perverted nature as the last
named, and in this case every possibility
of the playright's has been developed
This excellent actor has On excellent
name-Edgar Forrest.
The remainder of the cast comprised
W. H. Lewis. a clever actor; John E.
Martin, as the hideous East Indian; Geo.
Turner, as Judson; George BOYD, as the
ambitious butcher; c.. J. Vincent, as
Saunders, and Gertrude Roberts. as a
maid.
The play was well staged, especially the
second and third acts.

AN EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT.

-
The jersey City banjo Clubs Successful
Concert.
One of the best entertainments ever
given In the Tabernacle was that
which was furnished by the Jersey City
Banjo Club last evening. The building
was crowded and the large audience
manifested its appreciationl of the per-
ormers efforts by hearty applause. Not
one of the performers failed to secure an
encore, and many received even tn rec
and four. 1t was essentially n banjo con-
cert, and one of unusual merit. Sumo of
the best banjoists in the country played
and picked music from the pigskip, of
which one would hardly think that instru-
ment capable. Who would imagine tina I
such music as a Beethoven Sonata or an
RusticaBa or Rossini's Overture to Viii
liam Tell could be essayed upon a banjo
without driving the greater part OF tue
audience TO ineUriety? Aud yet the per-
formers last night did really play those
numbers In a manner which gave the
most critical evident pleasure.
The man who attempted these classical
numbers was Alfred A. Farlaud, O seri-
Gus looking young man from Pittsburg,
whom the bills designate as the "Pader-
ewski of the banjo" He Ia certainly a
talented performer and has developed
a wonderful system of right hand hpGey-
ing, which renders it possible for him to
make these classical works enjoyable on
a banjo. He was accompanied by Miss
Annie Faeland. G.. w. Gregory and
William B.. Farmer, two artistic per-
formers, after playing the selection from
Cayalleria Ru~sticana. aroused the en-
thusiasm of the audience to the highest
pitch by the spirited manner In which
they rendered the washington Post"
and High School Cadets marches. Mr..
Gregory ID a grandson OF old Dudley S.
Gregory, the first Mayor of Jersey City.
and he had many friends in the audience.
But he and his partner, Mr.. Farmer.
deserved all the encores they received.
1t seemed as though the audience
would never tire of listening to William
George Rush, Il very clever banjoist.
who played the ''Miserere" from ''Trova-
tore" and ''t'aure's'' Palms." without
an a~ccomDanist. Those old time favor

usual artistic manner. One OF the most
pleasant features of the entertainment
WAS the part taken Miss Marion Short q
reciter from California. AS a usual thing
thing these readers aud elocutionists So
called are q sort Of skeleton at the feast.
but Miss Short, by her unaffected SIM
rliclty, natural taleut and pretty face,
captured the kudience from her first ap-
lie rance. She accomplished the rare
feat of responding to several eucores aud
retiring while the audience deeply re-
GREETED that it could not have more of
her excellent recitations.
Little Eva Nudge, a clever child, sang
several character songs satisfactorily.
