The theatrical purists have had 1t that II
farce comedy was not already dead, 1t was
dying, but when one sees the immense au-
diences that the better of these faroes

'of the theatre as 1t ever was. "a Night
An New York." an operatio comedy in
which Jolly Nellie MeHenry, fayorite
|soubrette, Is the chief enlivening figure, Is
no mere exception to this rule. There is
~ great deal OF catchy music, excellent
|6ongs and life In this particular farce
much more so than there Is in many
Others of its kind. In the first place, the
company presenting 1t has generally been
credited with being one Of exceptional
capacity for entertaining and fun.making.

Alleged swlndIers.

Officer Gilllng and Detectives Moyey
and Witsil this morning arrested Albert
Jones Of Philadelphia and Harry Volmer
of Camden ON the charge Of swindllng.
1t was reported to-day to the authorities
that two young men had engaged i've
canvassers to secure names for business
directory TO be published in pocket form.
Bach agent was obliged to furnish SlO
security and in return was to receive
ten dollars per week for their services.
Three ladies' and two men were put to
work under these terms and In that way
hundreds OF names had been secured OF
10 cents name.
1t was understood that the two men had
canvassed considerably themselves and
to-day applied to an employment agency
for five more oanvassers
The men alleged that they were con-
neeted with the United States Directory
Company Of Camden, N. j. The officer
and detectives found the men at No. 6lS
King street, where they had rented the
third story front room and where they
met the agents.
The authorities felt that as the agents
had paid their security money and also the
money collected for advertising the names
and as the two men had no visible means
of paying the salaries to the canvassers,
the best course was to lock up beth men.
One of the men stated this morning that
he was going to New York and that the
head man OF the firm or company was
named Harry Thorn. There Is no such o
concern known to the authorities In
Camden as the U. s Directory Company.

Futile strivings at protection caused
another political revolt this week, when

tend the merchandise mark Act to all

marked, and substitute the general
brand foreign made for the now ia

The Government showed that the
marks Act served only to advertise
German and American goods and
greatly injured England's emporium

ers direct to the foreigner for goods,
previously bought from England. The
bill, however. was rejected by 153 to

WORTHY A QUEENS JUBILEE.
The Conclusion of the Treaty Be-
tween Great Britain and America.

BIRMINGHAM England), Jan. 30
AT the dinners of the jewelers. and Sill
versmiths' Association the Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, after referring to
the relations between Great Britain and
other countries, said that another mat
ter was one which called for unmiti-
gated congratulation. Mr.. Chamberlain
thought that the cloud which recently
OveTshadowed the relations of the en-
pire with the United States had been
dispeIled by mutual concessions honor
able alike to the statesmen of both cOun-
tries. This, he added, was an achieve
ment worthy of the jubilee of the Queen.
He asserted, in conclusion, that even
though the United States Senate re-
jected the negotiations looking toward
the establishment of an Anglo-Ameri-
can arbitration tribunal the negotia-
tions themselves could not fail to have
had their effect on the common sense,
on the justice, and on the Christian SEN
timents of two great people.
