Academy OF Music.

Adroit stage management is involved in
one episode OF Cumberland 81. at the
Academy of Music this week.
The problem of presenting a sensational
fire scene without subordinating emotion
al dramatic interest to the realism, has
been solved successfully by Mr.. Pitou's
handling OF it. This episode starts with
a picture of Homer Emmes that on dis
closure is applauded nightly. The view
is along the windings OF the gorge In
front, and raised well above the stage
is the bridge, with a roadway leading to
the woods at the left and right An old
enemy. So intense his watch and his
and levelled at a friend before the latter
can declare himself. The vengeful man
gives orders that HE foe be hunted
through the forest like a wolf, and be
driven toward the bridge The old man
stands silent and alert like a hunter at
a runaway. On the hero's approach the
rifle is levelled again. The two men grap-
pie. At the moment that the younger
man falls his opponent reaches the other
end of the bridge, the heroine-the sweet
heart of the one, and the daughter of the
other-hegs that the old man be saved.
So amid an excellent counterfeit of con-
sumirg flames the hero drags his an
tagonist off the doomed structure. Then
the curtain falls. and successive fittings
of it disclose the structure in progressive
stages of consumption AS the hottest
flames are away beneath it. it is but their
tongues that lick il. and new touch OF
realism comes in the faint whirls or
smoke that alternate with uplifts of ire,
ard that float lazilv and streamly aloft.
4 souvenir matinee will be given on
Wednesday afternoon.

Welcome the Ma val Reserves.

The Division of the East Naval Re-
serves of New Jersey, composed to a large
extent of young men from this city and
vicinity, is expected to return to the ship
in Hoboken this week and be mustered
out of the service of the country. 1t
is nothing more than right that the citi-
zens of this neighborhood should give
these gallant sailormen a fitting reception
when they return. They have served the
nation well and have brought credit upon
the state which they represent. Theirs
has been no dress parade service and
they have not spent their time in camp
Of instruction.
When first mustered in and assigned to
man the U. S. s. Badger, they were sent
to do patrol duty off the coast of Maine
This. though very distasteful to them,
they faithfully performed until the bot
Ting up Of Cervera's feet in the harbor
of Santiago rendered their presence there
no longer necessary. Then the brave
Jerseymen were ordered to Cuban waters
to join in the work of blockading the
ports. They arrived at Santiago on the
day cervera's feet was destroyed. too late
to take any part in the action. While on
this station the Badgers crew rendered
good account of themselves and added
to the lustre of New Jerseys fame by
capturing prizes estimated to be worth
100000.
No body of troops or seamen which
has returned from the war deserves
more an enthusiastic welcome at the
hands Of the citizens than do the officers
and men of the Battalion of the East
Naval Reserves. No time should be lost
in preparing a demonstration which will
show the boys that their services are
fully appreciated and that their neighbors
are proud of them and their gallant
achievements.
