ssCbarIey.s Aunt, in the Lyric The
2tre.

sCharlev's Aunt the bright, English
comedy which is now iii its third year in
London, began a three nights engagement
at the Lyric Theatre, Hoboken, last evening.
1t was given a most enthusiastic reception
by the large audience, and crowded houses
will no doubt be the rule while the play re-
mains in Hoboken. sCharley's Aunt" is
presented under the direction of Charles
Frohman by the original New York cast.
The play deals in genuine fun. and is SOLID
enjoyment from beginning to end. 1t has
features that interest more deeply and take
a irmer hold of the public heart than the
average comedy.
There are five or six pretty love stories
artistically dovetailed together in it, and the
development of the play begins with the i'm
pressing of a young man student into the
task of helping two of his college chums
along in a double-barreled love affair. The
aunt of one Of the boys is expected from
Brazil, and they have prepared a lunch for
her, to which they nave invited their sweet
hearts. At the last moment a telegram IS
received from the aunt, announcing that she
has been delayed and will not arrive Tor q
day or two. The girls are on hand, and SO
is the lunch. The young men do not wish to
postpone the affair, SO they get their fellow
student, Lord Fancourt Babberly, to person
ate the aunt and give proprlety to the occa-
sion. Then the fun begins.
Etienne Girardot filed the part of Char
ley's Aunt, and scored a big hit. Percy
LYndal, as Jacob Chesney, proved himself
to be an actor Of nc mean ability. Nanette
Comstock, as Kitty Verdum, and Carrie
keeler, as Amy Spettigue, made a favorable
impression.
'.Charley's Aunt will be presented this
evening, tomorrow afternoon and evening.

The Bon Ton.

Another strong bill is presented at the Bon
Ton this week Manager Diukins. At the
head of the bill is the Flying Brothers Lavan,
who perform a wonderful trapeze act, leap
ing and vaulting from one trapeze to an
other, introducing somersaults and original
long distance somersaults to catch hands.
Another clever team is Brandon and Regini.
Their act opens with Miss Regini performing
on a revolving globe. At the discharge OF
g pistol the globe opens and Mr.. n
emerges from it. The pair then do a con-
tortion act that would be hard to beat, and
finish with a splendid performance on the
flying rings. Another artist deserving OF
special mentions is Miss Rita Durand. a clever
comedienne. Miss Durand appears in a
character change act, and sings with effect,

Bike And the Band Played On" and sIt's

an excellent baritone singer, was also well
received. The Misses Hemsted and Guyer

Deafness cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have the rumb-
ing sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine times out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundsed Dollars for
any case of Deafness (cansed by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

A Congressman,s Helpmeet,

Congressman johnson, of North
Dakota, has wife who is helpmeet
OF the proper sort to him without being
canvasser of votes, lobbyist, reviser
of ais speeches, or even one of those
women who are described as taking
the "keenest interest" in their hus-
bands careers. Mrs. Johson, to be
sure, may have the virtnes of all classes
but she has won fame chiefly from the
remarkably clever way in which she
superintended the work on a farm of
l 300 acres while her husband was at
tending the legislative affairs of the
nation.
In the spring of 1893 Mr.. johnson
invested heavily in hay:lands. Before
the hay was ready to cut he was called
to Washington by an extra session of
congress. He tried to find man who
would attend to his hay for him dur
ing his absence, and, failing, allowed
his wife to assume charge of the big
hay farm. The harvest came on, and
Mrs. johnson was in the fields bright |
and early in her top buggy. looking |
after the men and teams, and, when
one field was cut, selecting another,
and then another. All of the hay on
the Johnson farm was mo wn, and then
Mrs. johnson leased hay tracts in the
of Petersburg until the total
cut amounted to almost 300 tons. Mr..
Johnson himself says that he never had
q crop looked after in more business
like way than the hay crop of 1898.
His only regret is that the promised
high prices did not materialize. There
was a larger crop than usual, and
prices went down instead of going up,
'ut no money was lost by the opera
ion, and the last of the 300 tons was
'old The next spring to a neighboring
armer whose supplies had run out.

south of the Potomac or west of the
Alleghanies. When the farm at
Haverhill was sold in 1886, part of the
price was used to buy small place at
Amesbury; and that house was Whit

tury. After his return from Phila-
deiphia. in 1889, he was rarely absent
from Amesbury for more than month
or two at time, although he did once
reside the better part Of a year in

that bond syndicate, allow ing them to
pay domestic gold now, instead of
foreign gold at the expiration of the
time for their last payment on those
bonds-October 1st, next. 1t is also
evident that they did not inform Mr..
Hamlin, who is Acting Secretary of
the Treasury of the modification, as
he at first stated very positively that
there had been no modification. Later
Mr.. Hamlin ledged by refusing to dis
cuss the matter at all. just why Mr..
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle should
have favored the men who had already
pocketed something like $40, 900, 900 on
the bond deal is one of those things
not visible at first glance. Another
one of the same sort of things is why
the syndicate should have chosen to
make its last payment in the last week
of June when under its contract it
could have bad the use of the money
until October LIST. There are rumors
in plenty,but nothing tangible is in
sight. 1t is safe to say there were
reasons and that they will become ap-
parent later on. BY keeping your eye
on the gold reserve, now slightly more
than 07,0O0,000, one of the reasons
will probably be seen before many
weeks have passed.

He said he was on private business,

Republicans were too smart to begin
the presidential campaign this year, by
declaring in favor Of any one of the

tion. He said of the issues of the next
campaign: "What sentiment there has

have little prominence. The Republi-
