Lyric Theatre, Hoboken.

Miss Margaret Fuller in 'The Princess
of Bagdad," Alexander Dumas master
piece, attracted one of the most appre-
ciative audiences at the Lyric Theatre in
Hoboken, last night, that has ever filled
that popular resort. Her appearance was
a treat to Hoboken theatre-goers. Miss
Fuller is assisted by a thoroughly able
company. Her ability and general at
tractiveness as a refined and accom-
plished actress have won popular approval.
The performance last night was given
for the benefit of st. Mary's Hospital.
The play is in three acts and is replete
with elaborate costumes and striking
situations. It is a stirring story of a
wealthy Princess, who carelessly squan-
ders her riches until she becomes in
yolyed in debt. Then, to avoid disgrace,
she accepts financial assistance from a
millionaire who loves her, and thereby
causes serious complications with her
husband. Miss Fuller as Lionette. the
Princess, made a decided hit. Her charm
ing and clever smanner provoked re-
peated applause from the audience. The
character of Nouryady, sole heir to forty
millions. was admirably acted by Thomas
L. Coleman. Jean. the husband of the
Princess. is cleverly impersonated by
George D. MacIntyre. Tonight Miss Full
Ter will play Camille"

and as wholly responsible for the conse-

a bicycle rider to be a species of dement,
ed Spartan, who charged fercely among
his fellow-beings in a death or victory
sort OF style, utterly regardless of his

is ludicrously true of the average New

Ascor AXE these most reasonable and
timely comments
The majority of cyclists are not in
sane. In case of a collision they risk a
good deal more than the pedestrian. To
begin with, the chances of a fatal result
are rather more probable to the rider
hurled from his machine than to the foot
passenger merely knocked down. Then
the machine itself is usually of some
value, to say nothing of police pro-
ceedings and an action for damages. Al
together the complaint that many cyclists
make of the blind Observation-Disclosures OF
some pedestrians seems to me more rea-
sonable than the absurd charges of homi-
cidal mania that are constantly leveled
at them.
The fact is, between the careless pedes-
frian n the malicious driver of horses
the bicyclist has a bad time of it. His
enemies, too. always appear to have the
best of it, If there are any o pro-
ceedings. Almost every day people are

en-, and smash their machines ana NOR

That ever fascinating play, THE War
of Wealth." was presented in the Acad-
envy of Music last night by a very excel
lent company of actors. 1t is from the
graphic pen of C. T. Darcy, and tells the
story of a wealthy Montana ranchman
who has been forced to assume the bur-
den of the management of a great New
York financial institution. His junior
partner is a ~speculator and plunger. Be
coming heavily involved. he plots to ruin
the man who has ~befriended him, to-
gether with the a of which he is
the active manager. In the first act
an ~overhanging balcony overlooking the
Hudson is made to break away suddenly
by a mechanical device, bearing the he
roine with it down the precipitous cn1s-
The climax of the second act occurs IN
the interior of a massive bank vault,
and shows the locking of the hero IN
the vault, n his rescue by the presi-
dent, who breaks the heavy walls win
some giant explosive. The third ACT
shows the run on the bank. The Appeals
of the president for a little time are IN
vain. AS the doors are about to close
an EXPRESS wagon dashes up with the
funds which have come from Pniiadei-
phia.
In the several roles George w. Deyo,
Henry Herman, Thomas A.. Wise, G F.

In Hoboken, last evening, the police
found a girl of sixteen in an old stable
and arrested her. What crime there is
in being in an old stable per Sc. it is hard
to imagine; but they called it disorderly
conduct.
The girl told a highly colored story,
which had no truth in it. to account for
her absence from home-it appear she
has a home-and her presence in the
stable; but we are not aware that telling
a lie to the police is a penal offence. 1t
indicate that she is a somewhat Trifbyish
sort Of young person; but there abso-
lutely was not one particle of legal evil
dence against her, except the fact of her
being in the stable under suspicious cir
cumstances. If she were a hardened Of
fender, the Recorder might be forgiven
for giving her ten days or so, such things
are done with women in a loose sort of
way and no great harm comes of it, but
the imposition of a sixty day sentence
could under no circumstances be regard
ed as anything but a brutal outrage.
In this case. however, the worst wicked
ness is not in the severity of the sem
tence. but In its infection at all. There
is something absolutely fendish about
sending a girl of sixteen to the County
jail or the Penitentiary TO herd with the
most depraved creatures in the county.
1t would be far better to turn her back
or the street and let her take her chance
Of being picked up by a mission or
otherwise more or less reformed. The
then she would be better and better off
than after serving her sixty-day SEN
tence.
We have in this State a reform school
for girls. which is intended. presumably,
10 meet Just such cases as this. If it il
not, It Is a useless expense to the State
1T is to this institution the girl should
be sent II her family are unable to re.
form her or unwilling to undertake thu
task. It Is a crime to send her any.
where else, far worse than any she is eve,
likely to commit. 1t is moral murder. L
Is the destruction of a life al its TIRES
hold.
This Is not the first time we have hat
to pass this censure on this same man
McDonough. He has done this bruta
and barbarous thing repeatedly. Fl,
seems to have no sense of justice. O
humanity, or Of the decent requirement.
Of his position. Now we urge on Senate,
Voorhees,. who seems to rave a gift TO
such work, that a committee of the Sen
ate be sent to Hoboken to look into Nc
Donough,s record and that of the Hobo
ken police as well. There should b
prompt legislation to wipe The man gu
OF existence officially. and put In hi
place some clean man. with sense an,
temper and feeling and a knowledge o
the Law.

Immensely. Welby, Pearl, Keys and Mel

A. K. Herpich, father Of Mrs. A. F.
Cobean, died at Winfield Tuesday
night. Concerning him the Winfield
Courier Of Wednesday says:
He was born at Saxmingen. Ger
many. Aug. 2, 1899 and came to this
country when fourteen years old and
remained for some time in New
York. He came to this city fourteen
years ago from Delavan, ILL.,, and has
made his home here ever 'inCe. He
was tailor by trade and like all his
countrymen. he knew his trade per-
tectly. His was an industrious quiet
disposition and be counted among his
friends all who knew him. 1t was
not in his nature to make enemies and
his life from a standpoint Of honesty
and integrity was above reprOach.
The only living relatives Of the de-
ceased in this country is a sister IN
Chicago and five children, all of whom
are grown. One daughter, Mrs. A. F.
CObean lives at Wellington and was
with her father during his last illness.
Miss Laura Herpich now lives at Kan
sas City and arrived last night in time
to see her father before he died. He
has two married daughters besides.

Beware Of 0intments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucuOus surfaces. Such
articles should never be used, except
on prescriptions from reputable ply
sicians, as the damage they will do is
tenfold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F ]. Cheney
u Co., Toledo, Ohio, contains no mer-
curry, acting directly upon the blood
and mucuOuS surfaces of the system.
In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure
to get the genuine. 1t is taken inter.
nally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by
Frank j. Cheney & Go. Testimonials
free. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents
per bottle. Halls Family Pills are
the best.

The Tornado,

One Of the best entertainments that
has ever been given in the opera
house Of this city was that Of last
Friday night. 1t showed the highest
standard of comic opera and reflected
credit on the author, Lincoln j. Car
ter. The scene Of the shipwrecked
passengers and the sinking ship was
decidedly realistic. The company
was greeted with a crowded house,
and everybody was we'll pleased with
the evenings performance. The Tor
nadO company left in their special car
over the Santa Fe Saturday morning
for Arkansas City where the they
played that night.
