The silver King at the Lvrtc.

|
The Silver King got a royal reception
last night at the Lyric Theatre, Hoboken.
Even the fierce storm did not prevent his
loyal subjects from going to do him honor.
Every available seat in the house was oc-
cupied before the curtain went up. The
story of the play has been told so often
that every theatre goer is familiar with
1t: it is enough to say, therefore. that the
company which presented the production
headed by Mr.. Carl Haswin. is an excel
lent one, not a stick, among them. But
the Dip children deserve more than a
passing notice. particularly little Florence,
who played Sissy Denver with a grace and
tact that are truly wonderful.
This little maiden of perhaps eight ma
ture" years., is a born actress. and more
thar once had her audience in tears, She
spoke her lines in a clear and distinct
voice. and in a manner that would have
Zone credit to one double her age. She
completely captured the house, and had
the people weeping or laughing as the
lines of her part demanded. If a play were
written for this little midget she would
be inferred from what has been said about
pany were mediocre. for they were not;
they are all first-class artists. The seem
cry was all that could be desired, and
there was enough of it to fill a freight
ear. Jersey City people should take adj
vantage of the next two nights and Satur-
day matinee to witness this most excellent
npYformduce.

EXPERTS COME HIGH.
Ffnanciers Think Mr.. vermuIe.s
Claim Exorbytant.

The claim of Cornelius C. Vermeule,
the expert engineer who was ordered
paid s2,400 for ~thirty-two days services
during the recent court proceedings re-
lating to the award Of permanent water
contract. by the Street and Water Com
missioners last Monday, came up for
concurrence by the Finance Commission
ers last night. 1t was not passed and it
is probable Nh, Vermeule will be asked
to reduce it. The claim was referred to
the Committee of the Whole at the re-
quest of President Jones. who is positive,
he says, that it is an exorbitant one.
Commissioner Hardenbergh is of the
same opinion
The Commissioners will probably have
a number of star chamber conferences
before the claim is finally disposed of.
Corporation Counsel Blair does not care
to discuss the claim. He says rather
Significantly that expert service comes
high. At $75 per day Mr.. V.ermeule will
have another substantial claim against
the city soon, for his inspection of the
~Pequannock River watershed.

WHAT rs GOING ON ATTHE ARM0RY
The Fourth Preparing for a Season
of Hard Work.


There were no drills in the Armory the
early part of this week owing to the
preparations for the ball. Tomorrow
night the entire regiment will be on the
floor for the purpose of rehearsing for
Monday nights parade. On that night
medals for craftsmanship will be pre-
sented. The largest number that aver
qualified in the history of the regiment
qualified last season at Sea Grit. Com
pany D has a greater number of marks
men than any other company. Some men
VINO never shot a gun before rung up
amazingly high scores.
At the meeting of Company A held Mon
day evening. Private F. La Bau was elect
ed Corporal. Private o. Scanlon. who is
at present a member of Company L.was
elected to membership. The ranks of Com
pany A have thinned out considerably
during the past year. and in order to have
a large company for inspection in May
the members are using every means to re-
cruit. This company was at one time the
crack company of the regiment, but it
has fallen way below the standard, Ru-
NOR mo- has it that Captain BuInsted is go
regiment will not lose as good as officer
as he for a long while.
captain Alvin H. Graft. of Company l..
was the centre of attraction at the ball.
The sword which his company presented
to him a short time ago was admired by
all. Captain Graft is one of the most
popular officers in the regiment The pre-
sentation of the sword is an intimation
Of the feeling the members of his company
nave for him.

said that ne has already left his measure

Guests at the ball expressed their adj
miration for the rooms of Companies E
and L. These two rooms are about equal
in beauty. The "blue room was the
point of attraction.

WANT CLEANER CARS.
Mr.. Chesley Complains of the Grove
Street line.

Street Line.
W. S. Chesley has taken a dislike to
the Hoboken horse cars and SKIS the
Board of Health to nave them cleaned.
He writes:-
Board CT HEALTH
Gentlemen desire to call your atten-.
ton to the filthy condition and foul at
mosphere in the Grove street cars. /
understand that the railway compan
does not allow the front door to be open
ed at any time, and the conductor closes
the rear door when going in and out;
there is no effort made to keep the roof
ventilation open, and this, together with
the fact that the gas from the stoves
escapes into he car, makes the air sim
ply Sitting. 1t would 5e bad enough if
both doors were only opened at the end
of each trip for a few minutes, II it
would be much better for health if the
front door were allowed to be opened as
passengers would then get a little fresh
air occasionally. / would suggest that
members of your Board would take a ride
in one of these cars some of these warm,
rainy days, and | think you will agree
with me that it is a disgrace to keep
the cars in such a condition.
Yours truly, Z
wv. I. CHESLEY."
The letter was referred to the Jersey
City Health Board. Mr.. Chesiey lives

window seat either made one. or an imi-
tation one. The craze has died out, but
hin Jersey City houses we have a lasting
remembrance of them. The talk at the
time must have affected the architects,
for almost without exception the new
houses in Jersey City nave window seats.
Not the ordinary one-window affair. bun
2 sort of large bow window is built in
some room and a low seat runs about
under the window. This seat Is cush-
Toned and generally has a umbe of pill
lows lying about. Each Of these window
seats. for they are all built on the same
plan, is partially screened off with a
fret work. Mrs. Harry Mcbride has a
white ano gold one in her parlor. Mrs.
James Hunt has a mahogany one in her
music room. Mrs. Frank Stevens has a
CHEEKY one in her library. Mrs Dr.. De
Hart has a very pretty oak one in her
library. Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry has
evidently defeated the architect, for
while there is the bow window in her
ter. The feature pals after awhile. Two
look as If there would be within the in
evitable window seat.
The new house at Crescent, Harrison

be occupied by Dr.. Wilkinson, has a
window seat look from the outside. 1t
is a ma tier of conjecture 10 a great
many people what there can be about
that location to make people build there.
Are the Wilkinsons fond of looking at
a bicycle store. a restaurant and a
school? A brother physician has sug-
gested that the house is near the juno
ton of two trolley ines and that means
accidents.
Not satisfied with even an additional

21i2 eraaaate from the brain Of a crazy
%asitater. The idea is that the relations
oetween the quantity and price Of bread
can be regulated by Law is simply pre-

meaning of designating the size of the
loaf? The bigger the loaf. the bigger the
price. and the smaller the loaf the smaller
the price and the whole State of New

to give the utmost possible value for the

The tsSeandap, In the Bond bidding
With characteristic sense of decency,
The New York Press and "worldp
and some other papers Of the mephitic
stripe. are trying to organize. a scandal
over the bond bidding
There is some slight reason to think
that at a late hour Mr.. j.. Pierpont Nor
gan got a tip on the price bid by the
Stewart syndicate. There is. of course,
no proof even of this. but the crowding
OF some figures in the Morgan bid and
q difference in the color of the ink in
dictate that the bid was originally at 10
and the -6SS7 was an ~afterthought. The
afterthought being higher than the
Stewart bid. the jackals hin Mr.. Nor
gan must lave got a tip on his principal
rivals bid and raised his own just enough
TO get in ahead. To make this q scandal,
they hint. though they hardly dare
say. that the tip as to the Stewart bid
came from the locked room in the Treas
ury where the bonds were being opened
and tabulated.
: Now, it must be conceded that if any
tip came from that room, it would have
been an accurate one. Nobody would
think it worth while violating a sacred
obligation in order 20 give a mere loose,
general Indicate n Either the exact
Stewart figure was given or nothing.
What then was the Stewart hguree
1t was 11o.075.
Now. if Mr.. Morgan knew that exact
figure, why did he make his bid no. 6ss7?
Why did he not make 1T 11o.1. for in
stance?
Is 1t not plain, on its face. that Mr..
Morgan did not know Mr.. Stewards fig
ure. when he made the increase in his
own bid. but thought he knew it, and
knew it wrong. There is a story in the
morning papers that a rumor was cur
rent in Washington that the Stewart
bid was HOS. This exactly fits Mr..
Morgan's bid. Mr.. Morgan caught the
rumor. He thought it was authentic.
Quite probably someone q MIN deceit
full assurances on the subject. So he
just put his bid at a trifing' fraction
above 11os5, namely 110.esS7.
But this is not all the evidence on the
subject. The Committee which opened
the bids, the locked room crowd, seem
to have been under a total mistake about
the Stewart bid down to the time of the
public reading. We refer to any and
all OF the newspapers for confirmation
Of this fact.
The bid wal read of as 11o.7s. The
figure was corrected by a representative
OF the Stewart Syndicate, there present.
Now. if the Treasury people thought
the bid was h075. what information
could they rave given Morgan, which
would induce him to bid at 1l0. eSs7? I'M
less. indeed. he wanted to lose.
One paper described the scene when
the Stewart hid was read Off at 110.7 Is.
Morgan and his friends were seen to dis
pla gra-t signs of disappointment.
They retired into the recess of a win
dew, greatly discounted. Then came
the correction. Someone told them of
ii, and they returned to the table, high
ii elated. SO. apparently. they really
waDfsd to win.
Bot what are facts to a paper like the
ssyyorld' or the Press"
