A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
Furst BROTHERS, Wonderful Electro
cal Exhibition

Through the enterprise and liberality
of Messrs. Furst Brothers the people of
Hudson county were given an oppor-
ltunity, shortly after the close of the
Worlds Fair, to view the famous Mon
tana silver statue. That their enter
prise was thoroughly appreciated was
shown by the enormous crowds which
fthronged their spacious building during
the entire time the statue was there.
Messrs. Furst Bros. have completed
arrangements for one of the most novel
and effective electrical exhibits that has
ever been seen. AT the present time the
details of this most wonderful exhibition
cannot be described, but the inventor,
Prof. A. B. Darlington of Providence,
r. l., under whose personal supervision
the exhibition will be made, declares
that it is one of the most startling and
puzzling displays yer produced by the
aid of electricity, and has successfully
defied solution by the ablest electricians
of the country, who have vainly en-
deavored to penetrate its mysteries.
lit is scarcely necessary to add that the
exhibition will be given absolutely free
Of eharge. Preparations are now under
way and it is confidently expected that
everything will be ready for the first ex-
hibit.on by next Monday.
Messrs. Furst Brothers do not hide their
light under a buShel and literally adver-
ttise what they wan the people to know
and their is no doubt that at the proper
time the announcement of the opening OF
this wonderful exhibition will appear in
these columns.

What is the world coming to when
the rule of the road becomes a text for
a sermon. Is the Bible exhausted? Have
the sins of mankind been obliterated? Are
the teachings of the law and the prophets
so graven in mems minds that there is
nothing left for the Rev. Claude Rabo-
teau to proclaim from his pulpit except
the iniouity of the scorcher?
Having adopted such a subject. it is
not strange that the preacher scorched
along the lines of sensational exaggera-
ton until sober truth and common sense
were lost in the dim distance. 1t is
strange, however. that ungentlemanly
scurrility regarding humble people should
be mouthed in the House of God and pa
tiently listened to by Christian people.
1t seems to us Mr.. Raboteau's sermon
was simply shocking. 1t is only neces-
sary to quote a couple of sentences to
show why, Here is a specimen of reck-
less unyeraclty:-
Even the picturesque figure of the way
side tramp has become almost extinct.
Nowadays he rides the bicycle. and some
times a pair of them rush by OF a tam
dem.
And here is one of vulgar caddishness:-
How a certain element can afford to
own q bicycle is a mystery, for many
do not own a second shirt. But they
ride the wheel, even If they haven't the
price of a square meal.
Those who desire to read the stuff more
fully will find it in our news columns
II looks as if Mr.. Raboteau had gone to
the comic papers from his facts, and
worked out his conclusions while suffering
from bilious dyspepsia.
