An Enjoyable entertainment.

nGs
The entertainment by Miss Minnette
S. Rollins and Miss Caroline Scoville
at Jesmer's Opera House on Tuesday
evening was one of the best ever given
in Princeton. From the first number
to the close of the extensive and we'll
arranged programme the audience was
delighted and expressed their approval
by heartily applauding and repeatedly
encoring the charming artists. Both
young ladies are gifted with rare
elecutionary ability, and as clear
sweet-voiced singer Miss Rollins equal
never visited Princeton. Owing to the
Good Templars entertainment the
same evening the audience was not as
large as it ought to have been. The
young ladies will visit Princeton again
later in the season and they will be
greeted with a crowded house.
Francis Ellenbaum, the IA year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Malen Ellenbaum,
died Sunday evening at 10 CLOCK after
an illness of but little over As hours.
Friday, in company with one or two of
his young companions, he strolled
through the woods near town gather
ing and eating hazelnuts, wild grapes
and wild plums which are yet green.
Acute entuitis set in Friday night
about midnight, medical aid was SUM
moned, and everything done to help
the little fellow in his terrible suffer-
ing. But to no avail. The funeral was
held at the Congregational church,
Tuesday afternoon. Francis was a
bright boy having completed his work
in the grammar grades of the public
schools last year and had been pro-
NOTED to enter the next grade the
coming term. It is a sad loss to his
parents and his many young friends
and schoolmates.

All Of these national cemeteries. it is

rows, circular and rectangular. The

Implores Them to Stick.

Mr.. Cleveland has written letter in
which he urges Democrats to stick to
the party. There may be q difference
between party and principle, but so
far as principle is concerned, if any
one on earth has broken over the party
walls, it is Mr.. Cleveland himself.
His official acts and policies are rs far
from those of Jefferson and jackson as
it is possible to be. But he has been
petted and fondled so long by the
money power and their tools that we
suppose that he has come to the con-
clusion that his word ought to be re-
garded as law, and that he is himself
the Democratic Party, his letter being
equivalent to demanding that the party
stick to him.

The Coxey movement has proved

plutocratic press to show its teeth and
claws. The attitude it has assumed
towards these men, whose only crime
is being poor, has removed all doubt.
if any existed, that the daily press of
this country, almost without eXcep-

vile tool of the Infamous and heartless
plutocracy. They do the bidding of
their masters not only willingly but
gleefullv. In their eyes poverty is a
crime to be punished 10y ridicule.

be unemployed is to be Il tramp. To
make protest or ask for betterment
of conditions is disturbance of the
peace, which justifies the calling out
of troops to shoot them down. The
poor and the unemployed have no
rights which the beneticiaries of class
legislation are bound to respect. They
have not even the humble right to
walk along the highways. They are
ordered, not only to get out of the
way. but to get off the earth under
penalty of being shot like dogs. What
space is not devoted to sneering at
their poverty and degradation is taken
| up in appeals to the well-to-do to
| withhold all assistance and starve
them to death. Those who. actuated
| bv humane sentiments, refuse to do
this are also subjected to abuse and
sneers ond ridicule. The well-fed edi-
! tors, who sit in their sanctums on sal
aries to plead for special privileges and
more favors to trusts and monopOlies,
are terribly shocked at the spectacle
of starving men asking for bread.

with instructions to show them up IN
as bad a light as possible, and these

ed, who is not gentleman compared
to one of these cowardly, hired liars.
The vermin which they are SO fond of
describing as infesting these poor wan
derers and over which they gloat in
columns of space, are not more odious
to the sight than these newspaper lice
who crawl over the community to do
the bidding of their masters for hire.
But, as We said before, it is a point
gained that these fellows have been
forced to unmask themselves. Their
coddling of the labor element for
votes will be less effective than hereto
fore. Labor. whether organized or un-
organized, will know where to place
them. The last few weeks have shown
plainly to the lowly and distressed
who their friends are and also who are
their enemies.
