The Bon TOMS Many Attractions.
There are SO many excellent attrac-
tons in the superior bill which was
presented at the Bon Tor Theatre yes
terday that one could sit there all day
and never grow tired of seeing the same
attractions appear over and over again.
But there is no necessity for that. The
programme is such a long one that.
although the performance is going on
continually, you would have to come
again the next day if you wanted to see
any particular feature of the bill more
than twice.

commander-in-chief of fun-makers, re-

easily as any fly. She turns somersaults
and dances in space without any visible
means of support as gracefully as any
one could on the stage. She's a won

Wish to Benefit Themselves.
The Jersey City Teachers Club, com
posed entirely of active teachers, was
inaugurated in January, 1893. 1t had been
felt for a long time that an organiza-
ton which would help teachers, both
financially and professionally, was need
ed in Jersey City, SO almost two years
ago a few teachers took courage and
started one. 1t is a rule of the public
schools that a teacher absent on ac-
count of k n or anything else for

ers' Club felt that it must be ren1edied,
so among the first things they started
was a benefit n Last December a
fair was held, from which almost So, 500
was raised. Though that Is good for a
beginning, it can readily be seen that
the interest accruing from that sum,
even at good per cent, is very small.

November, probably the fourth Tuesday.
The Teachers Club is not a clique, for
any active teacher is eligible by pay
the benefits of the club.
There are two meetings in every
month, one for business, the other for
sociability and professional improvement.
The business meeting is held the second
Tuesday in each month; the social meet

the social meeting will be held in the
Woman's Exchange, No. III Belmont

and they look upon him as a personal
friend.

ABOUT the only concern in the city
that shows any enterprise these duh days
is the Consolidated Traction Company.
The opening of a new line along the Old
Bergen Point Road in Greenville viii,
no doubt, attract new population that
way and in a short time give property
additional value.
Why does not the company open a line
south along Bergen avenue from Com
munipaw. There is a large population
along Jackson avenue and between that
and Bergen and west of Bergen. too,
which practically has no transportation
facilities. People have to walk across
lots to Ocean avenue or take the train
at jackson avenue station. The opening
of the line we suggest would start a
building boom in that part OF the city.
1t would be a relief to the overcrowded
Ocean avenue cars, also.

about this prosecution of Judge Dixon

laws. One could well wish that the
prosecutor was not a gentleman who
had been indicted, owing to Judge
Dixon's stern rulings from the bench,
upon a charge of unlawfully receiving
$1,000 of public money.
It seems that Will De Graw, the we'll

shooting ducks for a week and nobody
objected until Judge Dixon and his party
took part ip the sport. Then Game War
