BON Ton Theatre.

Jersey City has a distinguished visitor
this week who will stay till Saturday
evening. She is a dashing young lady,
and dressed in a very expensive manner.
1t may be said she is ultra-fashionable.
She is konwn as Miss New York, Jr, and
Theatre. where. with his numerous re-
tinue, she Will be glad to receive the
good people of Jersey City every after
noon and evening, when she will entertain
every one who calls for at least a couple
of hours at each reception. Among thu
entertainers at the cosy little theatre
are the Hill sisters, two rather clever
dancers and singers, who succeeded in
pleasing the large audience for a merry
quarter of an hour These were followed
by the Craig Musical Trio, whose per-
Torrance was really charming especially
their novelty contrivance of silvery bells.
The selections played on the different in
strJiTeents were chosen with a great deal
of taste and were suited to each instru-
nent. inc of the Craigs is a clever COM
edian as we'll as a good musician. His
sallys OF wit about a lost overcoat kept
the house in roars for the full half hour
the trio occupied the stage. The Leon
ards, q very clever team of comedians of
the acrObatic order, were well received as
they deserved to be. The work of Sadie
with the punching bag was very clever;
in fact She is much the cleyerer of the
two and her equal in her line has not
been seen in Jersey City for several sea-
sons. She proved conclusively. last night,
IEdL she Will De dDlS 10 ldAS care Ol liGF-
self, should she ever come in contact
with street Ioafers. Woe betide the man
who may feel the weight of her good
right hand. Connolly and Edwards are
two good Celtic comedians, Though the
Irish comedy business is slowly, but sure
IL becoming obsolete they managed to
please their audience very well. Two fine
acrobats, the Judges, down on the pro-
grarnme as "The Marvellous Judges well

away. The elder Judge, who is no longer
young, is truly a marvel. Frank Forrest
a descriptive vocalist entertained the
house with three good songs. though his
voice was not at its best. apparently The
curtain went down on a musical bur-
letta entitled yankees in Cuba which.
as might be expected. stirred up a good
deal Of patriotic applause.

ADJUSTMENTS.


THE Man-o'-wars1nan arrived at the
Academy of Music last night where it was
greeted with applause. Mr.. Joseph Shea
who is fast becoming one of the greas-
est stage favorites of the age, appeared
as leading man in the portrayal of Captain
John Conway, detailed in the Secret Ser
vice of the United States. The part
seemed exactly suited to Mr.. Shea, who
acted throughout the entire piece with the
quiet dignity, quick perception and de-
cisive action which come so natural to
him, and wherein a great part of his
magnetic power lies. Miss Flora Fair
child as leading lady in the portrayal Of
Elinor Denleigh, was also well suited to
her part, that Of a Russian spy, and act
ed with all the cold heartedrless of the
adventures. breaking down only in the
matter of love.
The Man-o'-warsman." like most milf
tary plays of the day. has been doctored
to suit the times, and scenes in the late
wal with Spain abound. but unlike MANI
of these plays the Spanish-American war
fits the production well, and no excuses
are necessary to bring forth even the com
ic songs. Even these Mr.. Frank Buoman
as Ensign Barry Hanley, and Rose Leon
tine. as his f~iancee, appear with great sue
cess, each encore bringing forth something
better than the last. Their PUSSY car
their Hold dem PHILIPPINES brought
down the house with applause.
OF course in his position as spy Captain
Conway meets with many hairbreadth es-
ape and the way IN which the Ameri-
can soldiers come 10 his rescue in the nick
Of time would remind one Of the old Rev
oluntionary history Inc the battle of Lex

Andrew j. Corcoran and Flavel
McGee.

We wonder what emotions thrilled Mr..
Andrew J. Corcoran as he sat upon the
platform at the Republican meeting last
night and heard the crack and snap of
the vocal pyroteehnics of the more or less
Honorable Flavel MCGEE. Perhaps as he
listened to Mr.. McGee's denunciation of
the Democratic party as the source of all
the evils the nation endures-from corns
and bunions to the horrors of Chicka-
manga and Wikoff-and as he heard Mr..
McGeo's eulogium of the Republican as
the source of all our blessings-from the
delightful indian summer to the victory
over spain-Mr. C~orcoran's mind went
bach a year or two.
Perhaps he recalled how he and many
other good citizens ~journeyed day after
day to Trenton to work and light for
equal taxation; there to be met and Bit
terly opposed by this same eloquent and
more or less Honorable Flavel MCGEE,
representing one of the most %rrogant and
public despising railroad corporations in
tho State, the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, tax Godger, commuter bull
dozer. and coal eombine ally. Perhaps, as
the treble voice Of the more or less
honorable Mr.. MCGEE grew shrill in in
tensity as he proceeded, Mr.. corcoran
may have thought that the Democratic
platform was not SO much Of a mislead-
ing document after all. when it charged
the Republicans with being gross hypo-
critics. and the allies of trusts and COR
poratiens.

Foster M. Voorhees, in Town.

Foster NJ. VOORHEES, made his debut in
this eity last night as the Republican
candidate for Governor, and the per-
Torrance to an impartial observer was
saddening. So much had been heard of
ths gallant, dashing, rough-rider-like
young leader that all who attended the
meetings which he addressed expected a
speech which would thrill and electrify,
as the young man from Union used to do
in the Senate and Assembly.
On the contrary. his remarks last night
were cold and unimpassioned. They were
more like the dry, uninteresting argument
of the skillful attorney than the fiery
eloquence Of the accomplished campaign
orator.
There were two reasons for this: first.
he was evidently exhausted. To those
who have known him for years, it is evil
dent that the candidate is beginning to
feel the wear and tear of the s.whirlwind''
campaign, that it is beginning to tell
upon him physically. In the second place
Mr.. Voorhees, felt it incumbent upon him
to take the defensive, which is always a
sign of weakness. Most of the Taber-
nacle address was a defense of himself
against charges. He took up the declara-
ton Of the school teachers that he
opposed their retiring fund scheme and
when Acting Governor killed the plan by
vetoing the measure which they succeeded
In getting through the Legislature.
+, His reply to them was that If it could
AVE been shown that the scheme was "a
safe one approval would not nave been
withheld. This will not assuage the
Indignation of the teachers to any marked
degree. 1t was their money, raised among
themselves, and they were convinced thai
their plan was safe enough They had
given 1t careful study and they considered
themselves perfectly able to decide. The
arrogance Of Mr.. VOORHEES, in trying to
tell them what they must do with their
own n will not get him many votes
that the teachers can control.
Then, his assertion that he never op-
