Excellent Performance BY st.
Peters Collie ge Last Night
at the Academy.

The parents and friends of the students
of st. Peters College crowded the Acad-
envy of Music to the doors last evening
to see the young Tlespians of the college
produce The Merchant of Venice an
x eedingly hard play for such young
players to perform. But through the hard
work of Pro. Callahan and the Rev. Owen
Hill, the young men were prepared for
any theatrical feat they might be called
upon to perform. Every one of the per-
formers who % part in the play went
through his part like a professional, so
careful had been the training.
The large audience present frequently
interrupted the young men with such
hearty applause that 1t was necessary to
wait until it had died away before they
could proceed with their parts so that the
spectators could hea what they had to
say.
special mention must be made of Mr..
John Mclaughlin ali .Shylock," the Jew.
When MI. Mclaughlin made his appear
ancs the audience greeted him with tre-
applause, as he was known to
have taken the most difficult parts of all
the plays presented by the boys during
his college career. He certainly is a born
actor. as could plainly be seen by his in
depreciation of his role last evening.
John H. McCauley as Bassanio. An
tQnio's friend, and John j.. Daley as
Soianio, also deserve a great deal of
credit for the way they acted their parts,
especially in the last act, where they are
ldenouncing Shylock.
A few others who are deserving of men
ton are Mr.. Leo Sullivan as Launcelot
Gobbo. servant to Shylock, and Old
Gobloo, father to Lstuncelot. This latter
part being taken by Mr.. Martin ]. Breen
created a good deal of amusement dur
ing the play and Mr.. Breen was heartily

= Hudson Board Of Fr~eehoIders-
AChence for the Voorhees, Committee.
We understand the Voorhees, lnvesti-
eating Committee is still in commission
and ready to delve into any abus tina
may exist anywhere in the State. There
Is probably a fertile field for it in this
county if it will come down here. AS
suredly, it will cause great satisfaction
to citizens of both parties. whose sus-
picions are thoroughly aroused by the
state OF things existing in the Freehold
ers' office.
Il will be remembered that this Board
was organized by a sort of non-partisan
"ccmbine." which shared up the county
patronage in a very remarkable way. The
proceedings since the organization have
been no less remarkable. The business
has been conducted in such a funny way
that the public have no real idea of what
is going on. The Board meetings dis
close nothing, and the meetings of the
Committee of the Whole are star-cham-
Der affairs.
The most singular thing of all is the
financial tie-up. The Board is not paying
its bills or advancing claims. Contractors
and others who have furnished supplies
or done work for the county are both
puzzled or dissatisfied. Inquiry at the
office of the Board brings no salts
faction. The more or less courteous
clerk. Mr.. E. w. woolley, merely
vouchsafes the explanation to each
9uestioner that 1.-THE committee has
not acted on his claim yet The
County.s creditors are growing alarmed.
They would like to know whether all the
appropriations are exhausted. or whether
h ,stoppage of payment is merely be-
cause the Freeholders have too many
private interests on hand to bother with
h public business.
Perhaps II the voorhees, Committee
looked into the situation, it might elicit
the rue explanation. The recent turning
of a search light on the doings of the
Mercer County Freeholders was produc-
tive of some remarkable results, and the
end is not yet. Why may there not be
~ sensational a set OF revelations possible
here. At any rate, 1t is time that the
motto for public affairs in the county
should cease to be. 1.-THE public be
damned"
