nue. Will Be Ready for
the Public Monday.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING
Distinguished People Will
Take Part in the First
Performance.
OF THE BUILDING

The new theatre to be opened on Mon
day night next, at Newark avenue and
Bay street, has been well named the
Bijou; tits a veritable gem in the way of
theatres and its future gives every
promise Of being a bright one.
To begin with the building itself is one
OF the largest of its kind IN the State; it is
richly and beautifully decorated; it is
commodious and one can hear and see,
and finally the standard of entertain
ments will be of the highest. 1t will be
managed by Mr.. John w. Holmes, a most
experienced provider for the public amuse-
ment and in every way it is distinctly a
valuable acquisition for Jersey City.
Directly at the intersection of Bay
street and Newark avenue stands the
theatre, easy of access from all parts Of
the city, Hoboken and Bayonne, for cars
pass its doors every minute connecting
directly with lines to and from thest
points. Being in the very centre of TIL
busiest part of the business section o
the main thoroughfare of the city, III
convenience and Importance Of its loes
ton are at once apparent.
The main entrance is of course fror
Newark avenue, thai is for the lower PAT
of the theatre and the balcony. On Fir.
street is the entrance for the divinitit
who patronize the gallery. This main Ell
trance extends the entire width of Il
frontage, thus giving plenty of room t
patrons arriving and departing and avoi
ing thai fault of many theatres wi
small, narrow entrances, having to vi

sid makes her way back to England.
Shortly after her return there she meets
Oliver West, a true and good mar. Their
acquaintance ripens into love and leads to
! marriage. Grace does not tell her hus-
6and of her past life, leaving her confess
sion to a more opportune time. The re-
surn to England of Neil Garth compli-
eates matters. and adds to the disgrace of
trace, whom Garth makes pay dearly for
his silence. Through an eavesdropping
aousekeeper, Oliver West is made ac-
1uainted with his wife's past and disowns
ner, but finally through the nobility of
her conduct and the intervention of
mutual friends, her husband forgives her
past and they are reunited. The author
has handled the theme in a mastery
manner. The interest is continuous and
The dramatic episodes are happily blended
with bright comedy. It is a play that APP
peals to all classes of theatregoers and
aolds the mirror up to nature in a way
20 reflect the brightest and best sides of
life. Special interest is attached to this
production, as 1t introduces in the leading
role Miss Marie Wainwright, whose sue
cess in legitimate plays has placed her
n the front rank of representative Amer
lean artists. AS the heroine in Shall We
Forgive Her., Miss Wainwright has a
role suited to her personality and one that
affords her every opportunity to show her
versatility. The scenic equipment of the
play is perfect in every detail and dis
plays a number Of new stage pictures,
which for picturesqueness II beauty
not been equalled in melodrama,
while the company is a thoroughly cas-
pable one.
Miss Wainwright will appear in East
Lynne on Wednesday and Saturdays
matines and Friday evening.

Enthusiastically expresses his pleasure at
that which tears from him a huge chunk
of his power. AS the sole Republican Sem

dispute with him his claim to a lions
share of the Federal patronage for the
State. And this, it is, which has greatly
helped him to the position which he now
enjoys in the Republican party of this
commonwealth.
With another Senator representing the
same constituency in the Senate, he must
relinquish a portion Of his power. 1t

The o Opportunity of a Life.


Allan L. McDermott, in his triumphant
election to the Senate, acquires what is
popularly called ..the opportunity of a
life He has overcome the tradition
that he was unpopular. He has relegat-
ed to the past forever the vicious fctions
by which those who hated him for his
merits and feared him for his strength,
have labored to keep him from gaining
the vantage ground of absolute party
leadership. He is fortunate, even, in
that he is to lead al minority at Tren-
ton, for never is he SO great as when
he leads the charge against the enemy's
entertainments.
If Mr.. McDermott pursues a wise and
conservative course at Trenton, he will
be able to increase his hold upon the re-
gard and support Of his party, every day
that the session lasts, and in spite of
year. it is plain the party is on the ris-
ing wave. 1t is practically certain that
in two years, the Democracy will be in
control once more of the Legislature.
The chances are easily ten to one that
General Sewelrs successor viii be a
Democrat.
Whether Mr.. MeDermott viii be that
Democrat or not, will depend entirely
upon himself. At the present time there
&c no o+bar aen;rant IN +ha feld fha,tob
the party possesses more than one avail
able man. If Mr.. McDermott uses his
opportunity to its full possibilities, he
may easily gain for himself, in two years,
such a lead as will make it hopeless. for
anyone to enter into contest with him.
Mr.. McDermott should devote himself
largely to making friends. He should try
to smooth over all dissensions in his own
party and draw the local influences Of
the Democratic n doubtful counties
strongly to his cause. In his attacks
upon the Republican party, he should be
sure rather than frequent. When they
are right or not very wrong, it will be
best to let them alone. Thus the force
of blows struck at the right moment win
not be weakened through fatigue on the
part of the public at constant and doubt
full censure. Even If Mr.. McDermott is
more thar careful in selecting his occa-
sions of attack. these are sure to be ex-
tremely numerous in the course of each
session, for it is absurd to suppose that,
with its present majorities and the next
big election two years off, the Republi-
moderation.
We loo forward with high anticipa-
lions to Mr.. MeDermott's campaign as
leader of an aggressive legislative mi
nority. No man was ever better equip
ped for the work by nature and acquires
ment. His familiarity with all the de-
tails of New Jerseys affairs, his en-
lightened and conscientious Democracy,
his skill as orator and debater make
him q unique figure. He enters the Sem
ate at a period Of maturity superior to
that of any Of his brilliant predecessors
of either party. In a word, he is, per-
haps. the most remarkable figure. as he
stands, that has ever arisen in the Lcgis-
lature Of this State That he will elevate
tie plane Of legislation and compel a
higher moral and intellectual tone than
has prevailed at Trenton in many years,
nobody can doubt. hat his work win
bear rich fruit in the qualification of his
honorable ambition, we sincerely
hope

ELECTRIC MOTOR IN A SCARF PIN
1t Is the Smallest Machine of It's
Kind in the World.
From The New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The smallest electric motor in the world
has been built by d. Goodwin Of McKin-
ney, Tex, whose business as a watchmak-
err has trained him to handle delicate ma
chinery with the exquisite care required
in making a motor that moves with all
the regularity Of big machine and yet Is
so small that its owner wears 1t as scarf
pin.
The motor is so small that It does not
cover a silver dime. and II weighs only
9-16O Of an ounce. The armature Is about
the size of a small slate pencil. The front
Of the MOTOR Is of gold, highly polished.
and the commutator segments are also Of
the same metal, so that viewed from lit
tie distance the scarfpin has the appear
ance of very valuable and rather curl
ously designed pin. II is only when stand
ing near Goodn when he Is wearing the
scarfpin that it's nature can be discov-
cred.
The first thing to attract the attention is
the buzzing of the machine, which, by
means Of a current obtained from small
chloride OF silver battery carried In the
vest pocket . Is kept in operation al a high
rate OF speed and with a noise like a
small nest of hornets.
The field magnets Of the little motor are
made of two thicknesses Of No. % sheet
II on scraped down and polished. These
are held together with gold screws ana
wound with No 26 silk covered wire The
armature is of the four-pole type and Is
wound with No. 80 wire
The little brushes are of marvellous thin
ness. having been constructed Of copper
hammered down with much patience and
care. There is small gold switch on a
black rubber base, made with a pin, TO be
worn on The lapel of the vest.
Mr. Goodin has found his novel scarfpin
an open sesame" 90 all place where cleo
tricltysis the popular topic He has been
lionizod at every electrical exhibition held
in his section OF the country, and the won
der and interest aroused by his scarfpln
seem never 20 grow less. He has been
asked 20 exhibit n IN public. but Is con-
tent with the homage paid TO his talents
in his native town. and refuses to show
Il publicly elsewhere.
