AMUSEMENT
OF Music.

The Academy of Music was crowded to
the doors last evening with lovers of
Sh~akespeare's famous tragedy, "Othello,
and they were amply repaid for Drawing
the storm by Robert B.. Mantell's excel
lent work in the title role. His portrayal
Of the jealous Moor was excellent, al
though at times he was STACEY. How
ever. as the play progressed, this entirely
disappeared, and the last act, when he
~strangled Desdemona, showed him to be
a finished actor. Miss Corona Ricardo
was a beautiful and child-like Desdemona-
The Iago of Mr.. Louden Mccormack was
excellent. Mr. Mantell, Mr.. Mccormack
and Miss Riceardo were frequently APP
plauded.
Thomas E.. Shea, who will appear in
ssThe Mar-o-W ars-Man." at the-Academy
Of Music. commencing next Monday even
ing, is fast becoming one of the foremost
stage favorites of the country. 1t is said
that there are but very few actors endow-
ed with as much magnetic force. His
magnetism has a splendid chance to as
sert itself in the character of Captain
Jack Conway, the hero Of 1.-THE Man-o-
WarsLMan,' who is a dashing naval of
hcer detailed in the secret service of the
United States. AS a spy Conway be-
comes involved in many hangers but he
manages somehow to escape from them
all without serious harm. Mr.. Shea's
support includes several well known
members Of the profession, his leading
lady being Miss Louise Brooks. who for
| several seasons distinguished herself in
Charles Frohman's forces. The scenes
Of the play are laid in New York. Homo
lulu. Russia and Nicaragua, thus giving
a chance for a variety of elaborate
rnountings. One of the features of the
production Is an actual naval battle in
which an American and Spanish vessel
fight, the engagement terminating with
the sinking Of the Spaniard.
BY special request Mr. Shea will appear

enact the duel role. Very few of these
have succeeded, and the reason is plain,

Looking over the list of the Republican
| candidates for the Assembly, we fail to
| discover a single one who has any claim
| to the favor or support of the voters of
this county. There is not one in it VINO
is known to have any ability as a poll
| tician or as a speaker. There is not one
who has done any service for the people,
for which he has not been compensated
many times over. Indeed, the only one
who has any record worth speaking of
is the perennial Cap. Hooker, who has
drawn geed~salaries in connection with
the Street and Water Board of this city
for a long succession of years. The other
ten may be very fine fellows. We do not
know whether they. are or not. The space
which they have occupied in the political
armament has been so limited, heretofore,
that the. naked eye of the average OBJ
server has failed to discern them.
On the other hand, the Democratic
party presents a ticket of eleven men OF
altogether unusual strength and merit.
Several of them are running upon records
made in this years Legislature, equal TO
any that have ever been made there for
vigor, Judgment and regard for the
peoples welfare. While sighting none,
we are obliged in justice to max special
mention of Assemblyman Allan Benny of
Bayonne, and of A~ssemblyman James j.
Murphy. who halls from the Lafayette
section of this city. Mr.. Benny was the
author Of more good legislation, enacted
or proposed, than any other member, OF
either marty. in the Legislature of 1898.
Jersey City is under deep indebtedness to
him, as well as Bayonne, for his. school
bond measure. without which we should
nave been left in sorry plight a few
months ago. when legislation devised for
this city and Newark was pronounced
constitutionally defective. Mr.. Murphy
did Incompatible service in connection
with the railroad tax fight, n it is
largely owing to his good work that we
are this year in the enjoyment of some
$500, 900 additional revenue for the support
Of the municipal government.
Among the new members nominated
this year for the first time, the name of
Leon Albeit will appeal to every Demo-
crat, and many a vote will be cast for
the candidate because he is his fathers
son. But this is not the only reason for
supporting MI. Albeit for Assembly. He
is the inheritor of his fathers ability and
his fathers Democracy as we'll as of his
fathers name, and he may be trusted to
renew the same old fight for the people
which his father ~inaugurated when he
went to Trenton as representative from a
Hoboken constituency, and only gave up
when death sealed his lips.
The spirit of Leon Albeit is abroad in
Hudson this year. With his great lieu
tenant, Allan L. McDermott, at the head
of the Democratic ticket, and his son in
the ranks of the Assembly delegation. it
is no wonder the voters are aroused to
their old time enthusiasm. They are cry
ing out for aggressive Democracy. They
are tired of the defensive tactics of the
last five years. They want the call sound-
ed and the standards advanced. They are
eager to see the Republican party over
whelmed in the tangle and wreck Of its

Bon Ton Theatre.
The attraction at the Bon Ton next
week will be Miss New York, Jr.."
which is recognized as one Of the finest
as well as one Of the most popular or
ganizations of its kind. The show
abounds with comedy, and the special
ties introduced have been selected from
the best in the profession. The opening
or first part piece is entitled Fun on the
Royal Blue Line" 1t is constructed Tor
laughing purposes. The action Is rapid,
and one funny situation follows another
in lively order; in fact. the audience is
kept laughing almost continually, the an
tics and adventures of a Rube. who is
taking his first ride on a railroad train,
and in which he meets a theatrical COM
pany as well as various other people who
have lots of fun at his expense, is the
theme on which the action revolves. The
specialties which are introduced are I'M
equalled in their various acts, and Will
please all tastes. They comprise The
Leonards. James and Sadie, in a taking
comedy athletic act; Connolly and Ed
wards, who ~convulse every one with their
funnyisrns; the Craig Musical Trio, who
introduce unique musical ~speeialties and
Instruments of their own invention; the
Hill Sisters, singers and dancers; the
Judges, in a most marvellous act, and
Frank M. Forrest, vocalist and descrip-
tive singer. HI concluding piece is a
travesty that calls f.srth the full strength
of the company, and is entitled yankees
in Cuba, 1t is full of bright, lively and
snappy comedy, from start to finish. The
girls of the p are pretty and
shapely, the costumes gorgeous and the
scenic effects have been specially made.
Much more can be said of the programme
which Miss New York, Jr.," will pre-
sent to the patrons of the Bon Ton, but
the best way is to go and see the show.
The indications point to a rousing weeks
business, and therefore seats should be
secured as early as possible. The usual
matinee win be given.

Stage Notes.

Mrs. Fiske's success in New York and
throughout the country last season was
the topic of the theatrical world, but her
present season promises to surpass last
season in adj respects. In the cities in
which she has already appeared she has
been greeted by enthusiastic audiences,
and an equally enthusiastic press, her po-
sifion as the leading American actress
being everywhere conceded and recog-
nszed. Although her repertoire has been
enlarged by the addition of several plays
in which she won great success in New
York. last season. Her Tess of the
D'Urbervilles" remains a drama to con-
jure with. 1t is, redemanded where it has
been seen before, and in the cities that
see it for the first time the admiration
that 1t has evoked elsewhere is invariably
paralleIed. Critics who have witnessed
Mrs. zFiske in this play repeatedly declare
that she is better in it than ever, while
her company is described as the best that
has ever supported her. The continued
power of Tess by nj means detracts
from the great strength and novelty of
Mrs. Fiske's other performances, how
ever. In her little play, "A Bit of Old
Chelsea used as a curtain raiser to
Love Finds the Way as well as in the
latter play she IS triumphing everywhere
as she t~riumphed last season in New
York. In the cities in which Mrs. Fiske
appears in all these plays the public is
afforded a. series of dramatic studies, the
like Of which ne other American star can
offer.
Plays that appeal to church goers are
the prevailing stage fad nowadays. The
"Christian," Little Minister and Way
Down East is said to have cleared over
$4,000 profits during its eight weeks run
in Boston.
