BON TONS FOURTH YEAR
Regular Season at the Popular
Vaudeville Theatre to Open
August %.

The regular theatrical season of this
city will be opened on Saturday night,
August %, at which time the ever popular
Bon Ton Theatre will start on its fourth
season as a vaudeville house. The house
is still in the hands of sthe carpenters,
painters and upholsterers, who are busily
engaged in getting ready for the event.
The company selected by Manager Din
kins for the opening is well known to all
lovers of the vaudeville. 1t is Rice and
B~arton's famous Rose Hill Folly Com
pany. Messrs. Rice and Barton Fave
been catering for the theatre goers of this
country for many years, and in thai time
have gained reputation and dollars, both
very necessary adjuncts in the theatrical
business. They nave the reputation for
always having a first-class show, and
have the dollars to make it SO. The per-
fcrmances for the coming season at the
Ben Ton Theatre, Manager Dinkins as
sures us, will be of the highest order of
vaudeville that can be secured in this
country, and we think that the Jersey
City theatre-going public will give him
credit for knowing a good performance.
He also assures us that nothing will be
said OF done on the stage that will offend
the most fastidious. The performance to
be given will be clean, bright, attractive
and at all times of the very best. There
has been several improvements made in
the house, and it will present a pleasing
appearance on its opening. The Bon
Ton Theatre, under the able management
of Mr.. Dinkins, has always been a very
popular house, n there is every reason
to belieye that it will continue to be so
as long as he has charge of it. The
prices will remain the same.

!. TO PROMOTE CHURCH UNITY.

Three f~ar-reaching movements in the
direction of Church unity are in progress.
One of these is the Lutheran. The four
large independent Lutheran bodies in
America are the General Synod, the Gen
eral Council, the United Norwegian Synod
and the United Synod South. A year
ago committees from the General Coun-
Gil and the United Synod South met at
Washington and drafted some resolutions
looking toward union. These resolutions
have already been unanimously approved
by the Genera Synod, which met at
Mansfield, O., last month, and they I'M
doubtedly will be by the General Coun-
Gil, which is to meet in Erie. Pa, on DC
teber ID next. They name four promi-
lent men. one in each body, to arrange
for a general conference to be held at an
early date, and to take into considera-
ton the doctrinal. liturgical, educational
and missionary interests in which all are
engaged. Lutherans everywhere are hop
ing, ever praying that this proposed con-
ference will lead to a united Lutheran
Church of America. Men who are active
ly at work to this end are President
Ort, of Wittenberg College; the Rev. DR..
Rhodes, of st. Louis; United States Sem
ator Wellington, President HANNA, Of
the General Synod; the Rev. DR.. G.. r.
Krotel. editor of 'The Lutheran; the
Rev. DR.. H. e. Jacobs, of Philadelphia,
who is the General Council member of
the preliminary committee. and the Rev.
DIR. ]. j. Heischmann, pastor of st. Pc
ter's, one of the largest Lutheran con-
gregationS of Brooklyn.

fFrom the Newark Evening News."1
Tho doctrine which the Hon. William
d. Daily preached to the Changers at the
Pennington picnic yesterday, was a COM
pound made up of one-third Of J~acksonian
principles and two-thirds of Hoboken glu-
sc6se. Mr.. DAILY pleaded earnestly with
his hearers to never forsake the Democ-
facy. He urged that once to be a Demo-
crat is always to be a Democrat Such a
little matter as accepting principles and
policies both repugnant to the Judgment
and objectionable to the sense of the
voter, the Sage of Harsimus Cove argued,
should not count. One should accept his
party as he accepts his religion. without
question and with absolute faith. He d-
mitted that there might be some differ
ence of opinion on the question whether
the Government should respect its obiga
tions and pay its creditors in a currency
of full value or resort to the trick of de-
wishing a coin bearing on its face one value
and containing In itself just half that
value. But in the view of the Hoboken
statesman. the difference here was not
SO great but that a man having once
voted the Democratic tickle could wink
his eye and vote it again.
