THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
Extravaganza at Music Hall.

Jermon's Black Crook Extravaganza
company began three days engagement
at Music hall yesterday afternoon. The
company contains two dozen persons over
half of whom are very entertaining
vaudeville artists. They give a lively up
to-date performance in which there are
no dun moments.
The performance opens with q musical
farce Americans in London in which
the Prince of Wales and members of the
ultra-smart set are very conspicuous.
"A Night in Paris is the suggestive title
of the farce that closes the entertain
ment. The scene is laid in Mabille and
the characters are such as frequent that
famous resort who sing and dance in an
entertaining way.
In the olio appear Kitty Wells. vocal
list: Emery and Marlowe, in travesty. and
Murael, young woman of large phys
ique, who sings naughty songs in French
and ones quite as bad in English. Larry
Smith and Mamie Champion do a mlrth-
provoking turn and Kitty Clements
tough girl was very well done. The olio
closes with a diversion by J. +. Gard
ner, Kittie Gilmore, and c. NJ. Harris.
The company will repeat the perform
ance this and tomorrow evenings and
tomorrow afternoon

NickelOdeon Museum.

Stage performances and curio-hall
shows follow each other so rapidly at the
Nickelodeon museum that the entertain
ment is almost continuous. And a very
interesting and instructive entertainment
il is, free from all Objectionable features
and quite faultless. The japanese lady
magician is quite the prettiest and most
meritorious act seen here in some time,
and the whole stage performance eXcels
in many ways. The curio hall is also
excellent. The children will be given
free seats on Saturday afternoon, the
only cost being five cents for admission

Political
Points
Poor Board Reorganization.

The poor board will meet for organ
ization this afternoon at o'clock. A
rumor that Hon. John X. Farr mad
withdrawn from the canvas for the
collectorship because the necessary
four votes had been secured by Wade
M. Finn, the present collector, Is de-
MED by the former. He says he is in
the field and will be until after the
vote Is taken and he is not ready 10
say he will be defeated.
Mr.. Finn claims to have the votes OF
Messrs. Langstan, Murphy, Fuller and
Terppe '7 ''a ','F.
Secretary e. ]. Lynett will volun-
tarily retire from an office he has ac-
ceptably filled for number of years.
He could continue as secretary II he
so desired, but his personal business
demands his retirement. His success
sor will undoubtedly be w. 5. Lang
staff. jr., son of the president of the
board.
George W. Beemer will be continued
as SUPERINTENDENT. Mrs. Beemer as ma
tron, and DR.. A. Strang resident physic-
ian at the Hillside Home. Attorney
John f. SCragg will be retained as
solicitor.
Several changes are slated in the ap-
pointments of outdoor physicians. At
present the West Side and North End
wards are in one district in charge of
Dr. Morgan j. Williams. The two sec
tions are to he separate and DR.. Will
liams retained for the West Side wards
and Dr.. William A. Donne for the
North End. Dr. p. f. Gunster will be
outdoor physician in the central city,
and DR.. j. r. Murphy in Dunmore and
DR.. James A. Manley on the South

Two Caucuses Today.

Today, between the hours of and Z
o'clock, Democratic caucuses will be
held in the Sixth and Eighteenth
wards. The common council incum-
bents of each ward are aspirants for
the higher seats of select council, but
the present holders wish to retain their
seats and are putting up a fight for
them. Thus it Games about that NJ. f..
Clarke, select councilman Of the Sixth,
is opposed by his common council col
league, John +. Regan, and the same
is true of M. j. Burns and James F.
Noone. of the Eighth.
The similarity of contest in the wards
for its highest office ceases at this point,
however. The two candidates in the
Sixth will have ii out between them
selves, but in the Eighteenth ex-City
Assessor Thomas O'Boyle and John
Hoban, of Emmett street, propose to
take a shy at the select nomination
and have made a canvass along that
line. For common council, Hotelkeeper
Patrick f. Calpin in the Sixth, and
Thomas Morris, of Railroad avenue,
of the Eighteenth, seem to have no
opponents thus far.

Question Aonin Raised.

The question has been raised us to
the right of three officials to hold GER
tain city offices while occupying coun-
ty or other city offices. This related to
County Treasurer Kelly and Poor Di~
rector Paine, who are to be members
of the hoard of health, and County
Recorder Warnke, who until last
night was a district chief. The lat
tor's case was settled by the appoint
ment Of his successor as district fire
chief. As Mr.. Kelly receives no pay
for serving on the board of health, of
which he is president. he will not have
to relinQuish that office because of his
recent election to the county treasur-
ership.
There are two opinions upon DR..
Paine's right to serve on the board of
health. Mayor Bailey a year ago con-
tended that DR.. Paine was Ineligible
to serve as a health official inasmuch
as he receives pay as a poor director.
DIR. Paine held that the law making
TWO such offices incompatible, refers to
guardians of the poor and not "di-
rectors." In this belief he has con-
tnued to serve in the health board al
though he is a Republican and Mayor
Eailey would have been pie ased to re-
place him with a Democrat.

The unexpected way in which some of

from their fidelity to nature. Realism
is a strong feature of "Blue Jeans"
among it's manifestations being live
