Not in years has there been provided
such a thrilling and stirring play as
Thomas II. Davis and William T. Keogh's
latest comedy drama, Heart of the
Klondike, which will be mex weeks at
traction at the Academy of Music. 1t
comes direct from the Star Theatre, New
York, where for four weeks 1t crowded
that popular theatre with delighted audi

praise, and in terms of his commenda-
tons it is extolled by the critics as well
as by the enthusiastic people.
Heart of the Klondike" is a play that
appeals to all; its author. Scott Marble,
has treated his theme in a manner most
attractive and tells his story of life amid
the dangers and hardships of the Alaska
gold fields in a way vigorous and telling.
The situations throughout the entire play
are thrilling and intense, and so absorb

curtain the spectator is held by the in

TRAINING FIRE HORSES
How the Animals Are Taught
to Take Their Places at
the Tap Of the Bell.

A very interesting thing indeed is the
training and exercising of the horses for
the fire apparatus in this city. From eight
until ten O'Clock insthe morning, weather
permitting, the horses are exercised IN
the street by order of the Fire Commits
sioners. This order is rigidly enforced
by the department, as it one of the most
important. 1t is absolutely essential
that the horses should be well exercised
each day. otherwise they would become
stiff by the constant standing in the stalls
and would be utterly unfit for use. Should
a thing like this happen it might prove
very dangerous, but as a rule the drivers
take excellent care Of their horses.
The driver usually exercise the horses
in the morning. Sometimes he saddles
one horse n leads the other up and
down the block in front of the engine
house, being very careful not to be too
far away in case an alarm should come
in. 1t is seldom that the driver who is
exercising the horses goes more than
three hundred feet away from the engine
house.
Another way the firenen W. to pre-
vent the horses from forgetting their
work is to hitch the animals to the engine
and drive them around the block for an
hour or so, not running the horses, but
Keeping them at a good brisk walk.
In case an alarm should come in there
are always two men ready to u out
and notify the driver, 50 that no time may
be lost in getting to the scene. All orders
are strictly obeyed by the firemen, and the
horses receive the best of care.
There are no training stables for the
horses in this city, or training quarters
for new men. as in New York Never

which to break them in and thoroughly

JURY LAW Disclosed
Bar Association Do Not Like
Some Features Of the
Proposed Change.

The members of the Bar Association OF
Hudson County yesterday discussed the
new jury law and decided tina in view
of the many changes suggested it would
be better to give the members time to
think over the bill and then next Friday
meet to discuss it.
But that is the day after our Bar
dinner interposed Counsellor Max Ros-
enberg, land do you think we will pe

"Oh, there will be at least twelve hours
to bring our mental capacities back to
their normal condition. said President
Charles H. Horne, and that date was
fixed.
Before the members arrived at that
stage of the business a letter was read
from the Committee on Legal Ethics, say
ing that it had finished its inquiry in the
matter of Pension Attorney Howard, now
in the County Jail, and a motion would
be made at the next term of court to
make the rule absolute for disbarment.
The letter also said that Mr.. Romaine
and other lawyers had taken the testi-
mony and wouldn't charge anything.
That's not like legal ethics to refuse
to take pay said Mr.. Warren Dixon,
and there was much laughter.

up a resolution of the Executive Commit
tee that the association should procure
copies of all bills brought before the
Legislature and arrange weekly meetings
to discuss the measures. This was
passed.
Then Mr.. Williams moved that the as
ISOLATION should endorse the new jury
commission bill. but Messrs. Warren
Dixon and Robert Carey thought that
hasty action was not judicious, because
many of the lawyers had not studied
the new law and while in accordance
with the principle might differ as to
the mode of carrying bit out.
Mr.. Williams explained the Salient fea-
lures of the measure. He said that the
Justice of the Supreme Court of the cir
cult would appoint two jury commission
ers, one from each political party. They
would provide lists Of persons eligible for
at a salary not less than $500. Then on
of the term the clerk would give the
lect names from which the panel should
be drawn. For the petit, three times

The boom which Senator DAILY launched
at the Davis ball, on Wednesday night,
for. ex-Secretary William McAdoo for
Governor is interesting for double rea-
sons. In the first place it introduces a
new and important factor into the COM
ing campaign. In the second, it takes
an interesting and important figure out
of it. For, if Senator Daily is backing
Mr.. MeAdoo for the nomination, it fol-
lows he must have given up the ambi-
ton for it WHICH he entertained until a
recent date.
Mr.. McAdoo would be an extremely
strong Democratic candidate. He would
do more to bring the irritated elements
of the party together in peace and har-
mony than any other man we can think
of, Judge L%ippincott having declined. He
is a staunch gold man. His record is
untainted by any of the heresies which
broke out upon the body of the party
last year like sores upon a smallpox pa
tient. And yet, owing to the reserve
which the members of the Cleveland adj
ministratfon in general practised, he has
done and said nothing calculated to make
him offensive to the silver faction of the
party. He is in a position to take the
nomination if offered to him and make
the campaign wholly on State issues,
and in doing so h can rely on bringing
out the full party strength.
Mr.. McAdoo is fully as popular in Hud-
son county now as he ever has been in
the past, and his public career has won
him the confidence and esteem of Demo-
Gratis in all parts of the State. He would
be as strong a candidate as the party
could nominate if not the very strongest.
His principal weakness at the present
hour is the possibility of opposition on
the part of politicians to whose guidance
he would not pledge himself to submit.
The people are with him. The question
of his residence, which might have made
trouble three years ago, is now settled
definitely, and we know of no obstacle
to his success if he desires the nominal
ton and if the politicians do not combine
against him.

Mayor Raamsden is again a Lynn.

Mayor Ramsden is again mayor Lynn.
Two years age he was elected by the
combined Peoples party, Democratic and
Citizens Reform party. He was again
nominated by reclamation by the Demo
Gratis to succeed himself as mayor of the
busy modern city, and was again elected
by a rousing majority last month.
Mayor Ramsdelrs present high position
is the legitimate reward Of his ability and
his fearlessness in defending his opinions.
He has never hesitated to declare his
convictions in public, nor has he been slow
to espouse the cause of the shoemakers
and other wage earners. In 1894 he was
candidate of the Peoples party for Con-
gress. A hard worker. a conscientious
official, Mayor Ransdell has more than
once been pushed to the limit of his
strength. AT such times of extreme ner-
vous tension and overwork, he has saved
himself from breaking down by taking

great remedy cannot be mistaken by any

AT the Belshazzar- feast-as the
"World" aptly calls it-of the National
Manufacturers Association, held in New
York on Thursday evening, President NC
Kinley made an apparently unequivocal
declaration in favor of gold, thus mega
living the previous impression that ne
had turned traitor to the cause as whose
champion he was elected. This is all
right as far as it goes. The trouble is
one cannot rely upon the President.
1t is Mr.. McKinley's own fault that
there is any need whatever for talk about
the gold or silver money at this time. If
in his inaugural address and in his mes
sages to Congress he had spoken in an
uneouivocal way, silver would be as dead
today as the greenback craze. He had
the whole issue in his power. He tri1ed
with it. He trimmed in his u~tterances.
He gave vitality to the National curse OF
attempted reputation by appointing a
Bi-Metallie Commission and by otherwise
encouraging the advocates of madness and
dishonor.
If the President has at last burned his
bridges, it is a good thing. The country's
prosperity will be enhanced by his deelar-
alton. But we feel no assurance that be-
fore a month passes We will not find aim
once again coquetting& with silver in the
vain hope of corrallng a few more votes
in the west for Hawaiian annexation or
some other fad of his Unbalanced brain.

by describing remote geological condi-
tons that prepared the Delaware Valley
for the home of man. He showed many
interesting photographs of gravel beds,
stating that the gravel was the result
of the crushing of rocks, the fragments
being carried by floods, smoothed n
polished by friction and finally deposited
in layers. Trenton is built on one OF
these vast gravel beds that extends up
from the river bed on each side.
