FIRST SUBSCRIPTION DANCE
Prof. Wagner Begins His Series at
PbiIIips' Hall Last Evening,

The first of a series of substitution
dances, under the auspices of Professor
Wagner, was held last evening in Phillips
Hail. Although owing to the proximity
of Christmas, there was not as much of a
crowd as had been expected, still the al
tendance was good, and everybody en-
joyed themselves. TwentS odd dances,
consisting Of two steps. waltzes, lanciers
and quadrii1es, principally the CORNER,
were danced, Professor Wagner's orches-
ira furnishing the music. Refreshments
were served in the ante room, whittier
the dancers betook themselves during in
termissions.
Beginning with the new year, Professor
Wagner intends to arrange for these
dances monthly. Invitations, very much
on the plan of those issued by the Assem-
bly, dances, are sent to each subscriber,
and Mr.. Wagner is confident of making
these dances an established success.
Among those present last evening were:
Misses NJ. Schellenberger, H.. Wood

AM
Of Music.

Andrew Mack, the singing comedian,
comes to the Academy of Music as the
Christmas week attraction and, beginning
with a holiday matinee an Monday next,
viii be seen in Al Irish Gentleman
Ramsay Morris, charming play of life in
ireland. which Mr.. Mack presented at the
Academy last season to a series of such
crowded houses, that there is no question
of the big business which the popular
comedian is bound to do on the present oe-
casion. Mr.. Mack is a genuine comedian,
and until recently had won his highest
honors through his lighter vein of work.
In IAN Irish Gentleman, however, he
has demonstrated that he can call forth
tears as easily as laughter, that he is
an adept in handling strong dramatic sit
u~ations, and that it is no difficult matter
for him to run the entire gamut of the
emotions. He is given excellent oppor-
tunities in Ramsay Morris play. This
piece was found last season to be one Of
the very best Irish plays presented since
Boucicault wrote for the stage, although
1t is very opposite to the type of irish
play originated by that gifted genius. 1t
has no relocated soldiers. no ~tyrannIeal
landlords, no s'gossoons,'' .coIieens'' or
evictions. 1t issa clean and wholly in
teresting play of Irish life as it exists
among the ladies and gentlemen Of the
Emerald isle. and it tells a t%hrobblng
story of the heart which is replete~ with
smiles. laughter and tears. While a wild
departure from the great majority Of
Irish plays, it is wholly Irish in armos-
phere. sentiment and humor; and Nj.
Mack has found it an excellent vehicle
for the display of his best abilities. He
not only charmed his numerous old ad-
nlirers with it last season, but he made
hosts Of new ones as well. The comedian

form, the main plank of which will de-
clare against any sort Of water that viii
hurt the trade of the brewers.
The sole object Of this new third
party" in fact seems to be to kill the
Flynn contract if possible. In his Wash
ington manifesto, the boomer of the new
departure has quite a little to say about
fraud and corruption, which he says has
existed under both parties in Jersey City,
but he is delightfully."- as to just
where the awfnlness is to be found. He
is quite certain, however, in defiance OF
arithmetic and bookkeeping. that pure
water means bankruptcy and other awful
calamities to the city if the Flynn award
finally becomes operative.
II is time that something was done to
stop this kind of talk. If this language is
INDUCED in for the sole and only purpose
of electing one man to the Office Of Mayor,
it is simply and purely criminal. It is
very damaging to the welfare of the city
and it threatens her with more danger
than even a continuance of the East Jer-
sey Temporary contract. For example,
the washington manifesto sets forth that,
should the Flynn contract be finally ac-'
cepted, it would so increase taxation that
manufacturers and corporations desiring
to locate here would be driven to locate
elsewhere. Now. at the public hearing
to consider the Flynn plan. held in the
City Hall recently, property owners n
real estate men Of high standing declared
that since Jersey City mad been receiving
a new supply Of water, though only tenn
porary and very high priced, the demand
for property has greatly increased. Tax
payers of the standing of those whom
this new third party claims to have as its
bone and sinew, earnestly urged the ac-
ceptance Of the Flynn plan.
And who opposed it?
Only the mar who hopes to be the sole
beneficiary of the agitation, and a rela-
tive of his. In a word. the only opposition
to pure water emanates from the McEwan
family, and the only object of that oppo-
sition appears to be to make one of the
McEwans Mayor.

eventually escape and are carried to1the
stronghold of Sanza, the leader of the
insurgents. The Spaniards attack the fort
and overpower the Americans and Gu

for at that instant an American man-of-
war arrives in the harbor, bombards the
fort. and, to3the stirring strains of Three

The fair of the Robert Davis Associa-
ton win begin on January 9, at Nos. Il
and 70 Newark avenue. 1t promises TO
be an elaborate affair and probably the
most attractive bazaar ever given in this
city.
This, however, IS not the only claim it
has upon the patronage and assistance Of
every Democrat. The Davis Association
is the backbone Of the Democratic or
ganization of this county. It is to Hud-
son, what Tammany is to New York.
The outing of the organization, last sum-
mer, when Democrats of all orders, from
the most influential to the ~hurnblest,
marched side by side in thousands, dem
onstrated what the association is to the
Democracy of this city n county. 1t
showed hat it is the fortress and the
rallying point of the party.
The object of the fair is to secure
funds towards defraying the expenses of
erecting a new building for this impor-
tant association. The new building is
needed to increase the influence and ex-
tend the scope of the organization. 1t
is proposed to nave a building in Jersey
City which viii be to the party what the
Fourteenth Street Wigwam is to the
party in our great neighbor city.
The purpose is a public one which
should command the loyal supper of
every sincere party man. The coming
Fair should be a grand rally, and the
needed money should be poured into the
Golfers Of the association with enthusi-
assn.
