AMUSEM TENTS.
The Bon Ton Theatre.

The management of the Bon Ton Theatre,
Jersey City, who, by the way, give a better
show of the continuous performance kind
than is either given in New York, Boston or
Philadelphia, realizing that there are mum
bers of ladies and children who would like to
visit the theatre, yet N go out at night,
have decided to offer q special lnducement
for afternoons. In another column OF this
paper will be found a coupon which, with
ten cents, will admit a lady or child to the
Bon Ton any afternoon before five O'Clock
excepting Mondays and Saturdays. This new
departure Will no doubt be quickly grasped
at by a number of ladies and children both
in Jersey City and surrounding towns. The
Bon Ton is giving a refined vaudeville per
Torrance and is meeting with the success 1t
so well deserved. Business has been phen-
omenally large at this cosy little playhouse,
and to use a terse expression, there is not a
dull moment from noon till bedtime.
EIdoradO.
The largest crowd of the season so far,
was at Eldorado yesterday. Fully 10000
persons visited this pretty resort during the
day, and enjoyed not only the excellent
music of the band, but also the cool breeze OF
the Heights, those there forgetting for the
time that it was a ''het" day. Victor Her
bert is becoming more popular with every
concert. Yesterday the a n was repeatedly
encored. The coaching carol especially won
favor with the audience, and it should be
repeated Wednesday and Sunday next. The
first performance of "Benameia, a Summer
Nights Dream" will take place Wednesday
evening.

This EARTH A PARADISE
Pastor Mitchell Predicts This
When Women Receive
a Vote.

Advocates for Woman's Suffrage will be
delighted with a sermon preached last night
by the Rev. DR.. David Mitchell, in Mercer
Street Scotch Presbyterian Church.
The pastor had a crowded church when he
began to discuss his subject; .'Woman-Is
She a CitizenF" He took for his text Prov.
XXI, 25: Strength and honor are her
clothingsand she shall rejoice in the time to
GOMEZ
what is the intention of setting forth
woman in the way wa find in this chapter if
it can be said that such a one is not to be
sert.", he continued chat in the descrip-
tion of the model wife you have here but an
imaginary case. II is the ideal woman
which Is presented HI this portion. 1t is,
they say. what yon would IKE to see in
ordinary every day life. Well does the
writer exciaihl: Is such to be found upon
earthf Were all women patterned after
this example what a world we would have.
1t would be heaven upon earth.
st Is many years since women" he said,
became distinguished in literature. AL
most within a score of years they seized upon
the teaching profession, and now almost
monopolize our schools, and are becoming
| popular in high schools and colleges. We
wildly recall the lime when our sisters
could not be found in other than dry goods
stores. See them today, clerks, ste~nographers
and typcwr1ters. attending The offices OF
merchants, lawyers and manufacturers
Within the memory of young men women
were not considered persons. Now female
owners of property have u standing in law
and can vote on the education ticket. Who
has not been struck with the development of
our sisters into doctors of medicine,
lawyers and writers for the press! We
think nothing of all this now. But like every
other reform we yield to the silently aggres-
sive movement of the fair sex towards in
dependence, yet withholding privilege from
them at some Que point. So it is today. We
ave gone almost the whole length in.open-
ing up commerce, trades, professions to
women. We still stop short at granting
them the franchise, and yet we would not
say woman is not a c"itizen-woman, who can
be the mother of citizens. She does not
claim to be superior to man. But she is his
equal to rejoice with him in the possession of
a common estate.
"rhe settlement Of rights ma be regard
ed by what seems to be a meaningless oppo-
sition on the part of q minority of women.
There may be bitter opposition IN the part
of men, but come it will for all that. Woman
shall be declared a citizen. There is nothing
in the Bible against this. 1t certainly &C
cords with common sense. And as the vast
majority of women represent morality and
religion, we can only think of their vote
becoming a determining one to all great
questions affecting the well-being and pros
perity of the nation. As we keep from the
rights of citizenship prisoners. Indians,
Chinese, SO we can regulate all matters per-
tanning to both SeXeS-sucha as ignorance, in
sanity, IMMORAL conduct-which would re-
tard our civilization"

DROWNED IN THE HAOKENSACK.
Little Tho Walter Seized With
"a era mps Will Swimming. o.

The first drowning accident of the season
occurred yesterday at Droyer's Point on the
Hackensack River. At half-past eleven
O'Clock in the morning Thomas Walter. four
teen years old, of No. 143 Cornelison avenue,
and William ~Steinmann, t%hirty-two years
old, Of No. rs Academy street, hired a boat
at Dick Uldrich's boathouse at the
foot of Danforth avenue, and rowed up the
Hackensack. They anchored off Droyer's
Portland startedeto fish. After waiting a
long time for a 'sbite," Walter became dis
courage and told Steinmann that he would
like to go in swimming. Steinmann advised
him not to take a bath, as he feared that he
would risk his life, in so doing. Walter,
however, did not listen to his advice, and
after disrobing himself he jumped overheard
n began to sport about in the water.
After swimming some distance from the boat
Steinmann heard Walter cry out and saw
him sink to the bottom. Steinmann, who
cannot swim, hurriedly pulled up the an
Choir, but before he landed the anchor in
the boat Walter disappeared. Steinmann
then rowed ashore and notified the Fifth
precinct police. Mr.. Walter, the father of
the drowned lad, was notified, and together,
With a number of his friends, he spent all
day yesterday in searching and dredging for

SOLDIERS OF THE BOYS BRIGADE
Four Companies atatAe Lafayette
Reformed Church.

The second, fourth and fifth companies OF
the Boys Brigade visited the seventh COM
pany ~lastsevening at the Lafayette Reformed
Church on, C~ommunipaw avenue. The boys
appeared in full uniform. They formed in
line in the Sunday schooIfroom and marched
into the church In two columns, occupying
the front seats specially reserved for them.
They numbered about one hundred and fifty
and presented a very neat appearance.
Many members of the ~various churches from
which the'boys came were present.
The pulpit was draped with a large flag
and three guns were stacked on each side.
The seyenth's new flag, recently presented
by the ladies of the church, adorned the
front wall. There was q rather unusal in
terest manifested by the pretty young ladies,
who turned out in full force. Several hymns
were sung, including Onward Christian
Soldiers and ''Stand Up, Stand Up For
Jesus"
The Rev. T. j. Kommers had prepared an
excellent sermon for the occasion. Among
other things he said
"You young men do not intend to fight
with your swords. You are fighting a diff
ferent battle. You are fighting for your
own eternal welfare. Your battles never
cease. Righteousness and the evils of mans
soul are continuously waging a war between
one another. You are fighting to abstain
from Intoxicating drinks, from profanity,
and evils, which are too numerous to men
ton. We all like military tactics. The
uniform is beautiful. You become straight
and manly. The man who has had the drill
has the benefit of it throughout his life.
''Jesus says, He who is not for Me is against
| Me- My young friends, be good soldiers for
the Lord Jesus Christ. There is the only
chance for honor, there is the only chance
for blessing, and there is the only chance to
be manly. Be courageous; we despise a
coward. Have moral courage. Now that,
young men, you have taken your pledges,
don't run, but stand by your colors, If any
man is mean enough and sneak enough to do
these things on the sly, run him out. Be
true to your pledges. What can you make
of a man who does not keep his word. / be-
lieye ia the young men. belive You intend
to make something of yourselves. never
knew a young man yet who did not mean to
make something of himself. All that makes
q man you approve of. Be true crusaders
for the Lord Jesus Christ. Be strong, hold
fast to the faith. The Lord is the Captain Of
your salvation"

THE IRON HALL SQUABBLE.
Mr. James McColiey Won't Give Up
the Books.

The members of Lafayette Branch No. l25,
Order of the Iron Hall, who are e~ndeavorlng
to secure the 20 per cent dividend declared
by the receiver of the order, held a meeting
in the Lafayette Wigwam Saturday evening
to devise plans to secure the assessment and
other books of the branch, which are now
held by James McColley, the accountant OF
the branch.
A number of the members are in favor Of
Joining the new order of Iron Hall, and it Is
alleged hat McColley is assisting them by
Withholding the books of the branch. Many
efforts have been made to secure the books,
but all nave been unsuccessful. The meet
ing on Saturday night was well attended and
McColley was denounced by every member
present. Dr.. Lampson took an active part
in the proceedings and was the
first speaker. 1.-THE only man that
we can blame for this delay" said he, lis
McColley. Although he has the books in
his possession, do not let that restrain you
from taking prompt and decisive action re-
| garding the money which you are entitled
to. 1t seems strange to me that one man is
allowed to delay matters in this manner L
have here a letter from Receiver Fails, i'll
which he says that he has written McColley
a number of times regarding our claim,
and that none of the letters
were answered. 1t is now high
time that we began to s~traighten out mat
tiers. make a motion hat an Executive
Committee be appointed to secure a list of
the members and to take immediate steps to
compel McColley to surrender the books"
The motion was loudly applauded, and on
the question Mr.. Arthur S. Barber said
II would like to know why McColley isn't
here tonight. I sent HIM a notice of this
meeting, but he fails to put in an APP
pearance. | think we ought to have
him locked up. Chief Justice John
Schott received a letter from him in which
he stated that he would be unable to be
present and that he is extremely sorry at his
inability to do so. This is the same excuse
that he has fooled us with SO often. Now
let us bring him to time. 1t is an outrage
that we should be kept waiting for our
money by a man who has no interest what
ever in the order, he having drawn more
money than he paid in, and who for a
pecuniary motive is now identified with
the Baltimore order. James McColley has
declined time and again to furnish a list of
those entitled to recognition to the officers OF
the lodge and has also declined to
surrender the books. The members of
orr branch are the only member of the
order who have not received their 20 per
cent. from the receiver. McColley must be
brought to time"
The motion was then put and was carried
unanimously. The following committee was
appointed to secure the books:-John Schott,
DIR. Lampson, James Connolly, Arthur S.
Barber and J. w. Leonard. The members
then enrolled their names together with the
amounts of their assessment certificates.
AS soon as the enrolment is completed a list
of the members and the amounts due them
will be forwarded to the receiver.

EYE ON THE TARGET
Remarkable Shooting by
the Militia Boys at the
Marion Range.
N0N-MARKSMEN In THE LEAD.
Team Shoot Began Saturday
Ammunition Used = The
Scores.
NON MARKSMEN IN THE LEAD.

The work of the members of the Fourth
nothing short of remarkable. High scores
by members, who were unable to qualify as
marksmen last year, are as common as
Strawberries in June and when the range
closes for the season the members who win
the various badges will have made scores
sh~arpshooters. Strange as it may seem the
scores OF the non-marksmen are higher than
those of the marksmen. Last week Private
P. Piieuger of Company H took the lead
for the non-,aarksmen badge with a score
of Al, and it would have been an easy mat
ter to secure big odds hat he would win the
trophy. The first noIrmarksman's badge
that was offered was won by a score of ~,
and that of last year by a score of 80. On
Saturday Private l.. Coder of Company B
smashed both records, II took the lead
from Private Pfleuger with the remarkable
score of A. This score is but one point
lower than the record of the range, and has
been equalled but twice this season. Private
Coder also took the lead from Corporal G.
Stell, Jr., of the same company, for the
first battalion majors badge, and if his
score is not beaten he will nav his choice of
the trophies.
A LARGE ATTENDANCE.
The attendance at the range on Saturday
was as large as that of the previous
practice day. and the need of another tlrget
was again demonstrated. There were 970
rounds of ammunition fired. The ammuni-
ton did not arrive until three o'clock, and
by that time there were over a score Of
marksmen waiting to pepper the targets.
Owing to the delay i'll the arrival of the am
munition, the range was kept open three
quarters of an hour later than usual. The
day was a good one for practice. The light
was good, and the only thing that bothered
the marksmen was the wind, which was
blowing rather stiffiy from the south. The
wind gauges were soon adjusted, how
ever, and 'fours' and bulls-eyes" were
frequently shown by the markers. AS on
the previous Saturday the Range Committee
had a scorer for each target, and all shots
were tailed correctly. The honors of the
day were captured by Private L. Coder,
whose score of A was not equalled.
The feature of the afternoon was the
opening of the team contest for the trophy
offered by the officers of the regiment. The
teams of Companies d, E and f met and
Company F's team took the lead in the con-
test with the total of 1876 points. Company
DIS team put up the very poor score, rs
points. The average scores were: Com
pany D, Is; Company E, % Is; and Com
pany F. 81 Is.
