Witnessed ~ . Larns ssd ApDrseistivs
Audiences last NIEht-Te Be ne
Psstsd Saturday. Dee. n.

A large and select audience
witnessed the presentation Of
the Confidential Clerk" last
night by home talent for the
benefit of the Episcopal church.
The great mass of humanity
have learned to look with a GER
tain amount of contempt and
disdain upon home talent, and
not without good reason in the
vast majority of cases, but the
play last night was a notable
and happy exception. Miss
Nita Williams proved herself an
actress of a high degree of tai
ent in the difficult role of Miss
Edna Morgan. I. G. Evans, as
Mike McGann, who in the de-
nouement proved to be the muir
dered Morgan, who was not
murdered at all; but only play
ed dead that his would-be muir
derers might be apprehended,
was lgood. T. Y. Morgan as
Petah johnson, a T. m, c., di-
vided his time and trouble
equally between a very active
but invisible mule, and his pes
tiferous son. Ephriham, delin-
eated by W. Shelton, and fur
nished no end of amusement to
the little ones, and the big ones,
too, for that matter. $. +.
BOothman won his way into
popular favor by his clear de-
livery and excellent interpreta-
ton of Frank Montgomery, n
youth of but little force of char
acter, who was led into tempta-
ton by Thomas Maxwell, a
most villainous villain, which
character was portrayed by A.
G.. Blake. Mr.. and Mrs. p. y.
Davenport, as Robert Morgan
and wife, two heavy and diff
cult characters, displayed n
high degree of appreciation of
the responsibility of their parts.
DIR. Davis as Squire Snyder.
and Mrs. Davis as Miggie, the
nurse girl, were good. Little
Madeline Williams made a most
clever little Bessie.
Between the third and fourth
acts L. Wilkerson sang a bari
tone solo, that was warmly re-
ceived and splendidly rendered.
Brower's Orchestra regaled
the audience with some of its
best music, and divided honors
with the players for applause
and appreciation.
The company have concluded
TO reproduce the play at a mat
inee on Saturday afternoon,
December -, at 2:30 p. IN.

A-Ohs y ~ LhOAAeoOAA AEAAA II
ed last night from Fort Smith,
where he had been to confer
with the Dawes commission re-
lative to a number of citizen
ship claimants.
He was seen by an ARDMoRE-
ITE reporter this morning and
asked for any information he
might have concerning applica-
tions from the Chickasaw ma
ton.
Mr.. Thompson says an i'm
portant precedent has been
made in the rejection of a man
by the name of Peery. 1t was
shown that Peery only married
for the purpose of gaining eiti-
zenship and that after the mar
riage he refused to live with his
Indian wife. The commission
holds that all such marriages
should not and do not carry
rights of citizenship.
The Choctaw claims have
been taken up and are now be-
ing investigated. The delay in
consideration of these claims
was occasioned by the refusal
of the McCurtain administration
to accept the rolls submitted by
the Gardner administration.
The rolls are being revised by
Gov. McCurtain and his cabinet
and they will govern the COM
mission in passing upon Choc-
taw claimants.
Mr.. Thompson thinks there
is a strong probability that the
Dawes and Choctaw commits
sions will effect a treaty, in
which event the other nations
will necessarily be forced to a
similar action.
The main points of the report
of the Dawes commission have
been forwarded to the secretary
of the interior to be embodied
by him in his annual report to
congress.
One of the principal matters
attended to by Mr.. Thompson
was to learn the procedure to be
gone through in taking appeals
from the findings of the COM
mission. He was informed that
it was necessary to file petition
for appeal with the clerk of the
court, ON which process will is
sue and after which the court
will call for all the papers in
the case so appealed.
From Mr.. Thompson it was
further learned that the. appli.
cation of Alva Rolf, of this city,
was disallowed on the ground
that the adoption of his wife
was irregular and was not bind.
ing. She was daughter by 6
former marriage of Col. Bour
land, who, after the death o.
his first wife, married a Chick
asaw. After his second mar
riage he petitioned the legisla
ture to permit his white chill
dren to reside with him in tn,
territory, but did not ask 70
, their formal adoption into TN,
, tribe, This was in 1876 and tn,
Indians claim the act, while i
appears to adopt them, was al
accident, that it was unaske,
and unintended. Mr.. Rolf
case will be appealed.
( Mr.. Thompson further say
the commission is hard at worl
and that its labors will exten,
over several weeks in the fu
ture. All hope of coneludini
by December 10 has been aban
. doned.

POOR JUDGE OF CIGARS.
High Priced Havanas Didn't Please
Ex-As semblyman Lower.


This is a story they are telling about
ex-Assenblyman Abraham Lower OF
Ocean county at Trenton:-
Ex-Asssmblyman Frederick L.. VOORHEES,
of Bergen county is a lover of a good
cigar, and Lower claims to be-; but Mr.,
Voorhees, has his opinion of what isfcon-
sidered a good cigar down at Point Pleas
ant.
Last Tuesday the two ex-legislators
were at the Trenton House, n the
Ocean county maj was spreading his
boom for the Journal Clerkship to a
small party of friends. Mr.. VOORHEES,
took from his pocket a long, slender cigar
and bit off the end. Then he offered enc
to Mr.. Lower. Abe. looked at it sus-
p.ciously, but took 1t and lighted it. After
a few puffs ne slyly dropped it into a Gus
counties to make an estimate of his sure
votes. Soon Mr.. Voorhees, noticed that
Abe was not smoking.
Where's your cigar, Abe?" he IN
CURED.
Why" stammered Lower, ct threw
il away. It wassno good"
mo, good!" exclaimed Voorhees,: why,
you sand snipe, you don't know what a
good cigar IS. Do YOU know what that
Il thought it was a stinker,, replied
Lower.
well, it wasn't. 1t was a pure Ha-
vana, imported, n it cost me just thirty
cents. Say, you may know a lot about
CLAIMS and oysters. but you don't know
a good cigar and the Bergen county
man went out to find a place to hide his
disgust, and would listen to no apology.
Give me a cigar" said Abe to the bar
ender laying a dime on the bar. He
waited for a nickel IN change, but didn't
get 1t, and after glancing inquiringly at
the bartender, suddenly started as though
he had made a discovery.

Hill sewage would burst the sewer or any
connections. He said it could not burst
declared that several smaller sewers are
carrying double the pressure 1t is pho
posed to put on the Thirteenth street
sewer, and asserted that water flows
high tide and the sewage has no pressure
to speak of as compared with what would
be in Thirteenth street behind it.
Ex-Judge Kenny answered the Chief
Engineer and said that he did not believe
he was aware of the circumstances as
they exist. 1.-THE truth Is" he said with
emphasis, that our section of the city
has been neglected for years. We never
got anything in the line of a public inn
provement until this Board came in, and
/ am not amt to give credit where 1t
belongs. We pay our taxes promptly,
but we never get n consideration.
Until a short time ago Eleventh street
was practically impossible, there being
eleven inches of mud in the street. Mayor
Wanser had that street cleaned for me.
and l tell you the dirt had to be ploughed
up and carted away.
I'VE have been treated shamefully and
that kind of treatment would doubtless
continue If we did not interpose objec-
tions. In the street where ! live the
street cleaner put in an appearance once
a month. I appealed to Mayor Wanser
and be it said to his credit he had 1t
cleaned without delay. That is a growing
neighborhood and is a populous one, and
it is an outrage that poor people should
be compelled to live in an atmosphere of
poison continually. The idea of streets
being cleaned once a month is ridiculous.
I know it is not the fault of the con-
tractor, but because of a limited appro-
priation, but it is high time we had a
change in our sanitary regulations"
The speaker pointed out many reasons
why it would be injurious to connect the
new Hoboken avenue sewer with the one
in Thirteenth street.
Concluding, A. j. Corcoran said the via
duct and all other improvements in the
street would be rendered valueless If the
proposed connection is made.
On behalf of the Board President Brown
said the subject would be carefully con-
sidered and hat he and his colleagues
would meet with the property owners in
terested and go over the ground carefully
before definite action is taken.
The committee thanked the Board ant
departed, feeling sure that they had car
ried the day and that the Hill sewage
will be carried to the river through some
sewer either side of Thirteenth street.

ty Jail since the middle of September.

obtaining money under false pretences.
made up her mind yesterday afternoon
that she was guilty and went over to
the Court and said so. Before going over,
she had an interview with her husband
and he a a call on Prosecutor Win
field. Mr.. Pook told the Prosecutor that
his wife was willing to plead guilty, and
the Prosecutor was perfectly willing to
accept the plea. Mrs. Pook was escorted
over to the court and entered her plea in
a firm voice. She was remanded for sem
tence.
Mrs. Pook is the woman who realized
a considerable sum of money by swind-
ling u~ndertakers. She is a woman of
good presence and was at one time a
school teacher in Hoboken. That was
before she was married. and when she
was known as Kate Doyle. Her method
was 70 go to an undertaken, represent
port, New Haven, or some ~neighboring
city, exhibit a life insurance policy, en-
age the undertaken to take charge of
the funeral and then negotiate a loan for
preliminary. expenses, putting up the in
surance policy as security.
She swindled Undertaken Stevens in
Jersey avenue out of 81. That proved
so successful that she went to Thomas
f. Carey, in Grove street, and got SIS.
Her next victim was Edward Faherty.
in Grove street. She touched him for
$40, and went Jack after more. Then she
was arrested. The insurance policies
were bogus. Her husband said yesterday
that he would make good the amounts.

AN EXPENSIVE TRIP.

Abraham I~saacs, who has a farm at
Penhorn Creek, went to New York yes
iterday with a load of greens. He mar
keted these for s1.6O. On his way back
he was stopped in Hoboken by one of the
agents for the S. P. C.. A. The officer
whose name is Bennett, unhitched the
horse, which cost Isaacs $50, and on
lifting off the saddle found a small sore
on the horses back. Isaacs was placed
under arrest and taken to Justice Sew
mour's office. Here he was told that he
trial. He decided to stand trial, but when
told hat he woul probably have to nav
as much as 500 If found guilty, he de-
cided to pay the fine. Not tNvlng enough
money, however, he went back to Sc
aucu and got enough money to pay
the fine. He says he walked both WAYS.
In the meantime the horse was nut In
Cranes stable, and when he got back he
had to pay a dollar for stable board. In
all it cost him $3.50.
