When the announcement was mace inae
the Academy of Music would pass out OF
the hands of Mr.. Henderson With the
close of the present season and into those
of Mr.. Charles Frohman, the question
was asked in New York, Will Jersey CITY

will be given it? The question Is now pc
ing answered. Mr.. Crane, who is one Oh
the big legitimate stars of the PROFESSION
is TO appear at the house tomorrow nlght
and the sale OF. seats fori his appearance
is large enough to satisfy the most ex-
acting actor. And to prove that Jersey
CITY is not a Cheap city'' the fact is
nointed out that the highest priced seats
have sold much more rapidly than the
cheaper ones. AS long as the new man
agement of the Academy will give TINS
nublic the things it wants there never
will be any question as to the patronage.
All of the scenery for Mr.. Cranes play
.arhe Head of the Family" will reach
the city tomorrow morning, and VIII pc
quickly putin place on the stage. A
large and fashionable audience is expect
cd. and seems assured. A few weeks ago
the comedy was seen in Newark, where
it's business was the largest kno"n -
that city this season. Some OF the strih-
ing costumes shown in the play are a
ruby red violet gown trimmed with err
nina worn by Miss Olive, a reception

She FRIGHTENED BURGLARS
North Bergen Postmistress
Faced a Gang With
a Revolver.

Mrs. Mary Kittle, postmistress of North
Bergen, bravely faced a gang of burglars
early yesterday morning and caused them
to beat a lively retreat. At 1890 A. M
Mrs. Kittle was awakened by some one
trying to break the heavy lock which Sc
cures the iron shutters protecting the
postofice window. Hastily throwing on a
wrapper, Mrs. Kittle took a revolver and
entered the postoffice. She was alone in
the building, but was not at all scared.
When the burglars broke the lock and
threw pen the shutters they found a
woman standing firm as a rock with a
revolvel levelled at them. Her hand
did not tremble and there was a look in
her eye as she glanced over the sights of
the weapon that convinced the burglar
she knew how to use it and would do SO.
They fed down the road in the direction
of the Hackensack meadows.
An hour later they returned. This
time Mrs. Kittle received unlocked for
assistance from the outside. Frank
Eagan, a call boy in the employ of the
West Shore Railroad, saw three men at
work on one of the windows. Eagan is
only seventeen. Drawing his revolver,
he opened fire on the men. Owing to the
darkness he must have aimed wild. for
nom of his shots appeared to take effect.
The men again fed. Eagan chased them
several blocks. but they eluded him in the

TWO WOMEN EQUAL ONE MAN.
So It Was Demonstrated at h Old

The large audience which filled Crescent
Hall last evening was kept laughing Tor
two hours by the humorous dolngs OF
about two dozen young ladies of the EN-
ory Methodist Church. who gave what
thew termed an s'Old Maids Convention.
The costumes were iudicrous, and such
outlandish trimmings have never been
seen. Each young lady wore a dress OF
Calico with an antique bonnet prolusels
badecked with lowers and all kinds OF
artificial fruit.
After each participant had contflpuleu
to the entertainment a song or recitatloh,
an uproariously funny farce, enltieo

SERGEANT MILLER WORRIED.
Fifty Cents and What Went With
1t His Food For Thought.

Police Sergeant Robert Miller, Oh tne
Oakland avenue station, is wearing a look
of profound thought these days. He is an
old student of the arts and wiles of the
schemer to transfer coin from some one
else's pockets to his own. Not that ne
ever practiced them, but as a policeman
he has made a record in running Gown
those who do. That he should be buncoed
out of fifty cents after all his years IN
the police department is not conducive to
his peace of mind and his anatomy has
received a rude shock in the region of the
heart.
He was busy at his desk a few evenings
g when a m-ild-mannered, respectfully
attired man entered the station leading a
beautiful flaxeh-haired little girl. lie car
ried on his arm a basket with a few half
faded flowers. The little girl held a small
trowel in her right hand.
II beg your pardon said the man,
bowling and trembling somewhat. II
may seem strange that l should come 70
a station house to beg. But it's only a
favor I would ask, and 1 was directed TO
come here. / have had the misfortune to
either be robbed or lose my money. l
came over with my little child to plant
some flowers on my brothers grave in a
Newark cemetery.
81 did not miss my money until AFTER l
reached this side of the river. L nave

find an old friend of mine who lives IN
West Hoboken. live in City Island. l
can't afford to beg. I would willingly
walk the streets all night, but my little
child. Here the father sobbed.
..If YOU would be kline enough to accom-
modate a gentleman with the loan of fifty
cents. you may take his word for 1t.
you'll find it replaced in an envelope on
desk tomorrow morning
The Sergeant mistrusted his half elderly
visitor. but the innocent look of the child
won his confidence. He handed over a
fifty cent piece, and along with it a card
inscribed as acknowledgements Miller,
Third precinct police, Jersey City, bun
coed out of so cents. He said:-MTake that
to the man at the desk in City Island
police headquarters
The man bowed himself out OF the OAK
land avenue station. Five days have
ELAPSED and the sergeant is still looking
for his fifty cents, while the last vestige
of his faith in human nature is rapidly
disappearing.

TELEPHONE ORDINANCE.
Street and Water Board Will
Probably Override Mayors
Veto

The veto of Mayor Hoos to the Street
and Water Commissioners resolution CIV
ing permission to the Hudson Telephone
Co. to extend it's conduits n wires in
the city, will come up at the Tuesday
next meeting of the Board and the or
dinance will be passed over the Mayors
veto, the dickie birds say.
The ordinance, as it stands, allows the
city at all times to use the conduit for
any Department. of the city, and holds
the company responsible for any damage
done to public or private property in the
laying and maintaining of the conduits,
and still further provides that the COM
pany shal papy a fine of S100 for each
offense and $40 a day for each days delay
in failing to comply with the before
mentioned provisions. The conduits are
to be aid underground.
To these pprovisions the Mayor de-
INJURED. His Honor proposed that the
city shall take some of the company's
stock and pay a lump sum for the fran
chise. The Street and Water Board Conn
missioners think that these agreements
are hard on a company whose object is
a healthy competition in telephone rates.
Besides, they say that a similar provision
was given to a rival corporation without
such stipulations.

Immediately, the teachers of the State

wise educators Of Orange and threatened

OLD CITY SCRIP
Water Bonds Issued Thirty
Years Ago Paid OF
Yesterday. \

An interesting batch Of bonds came
into the Comptroller's Office yesterday for
cancellation They were Jersey City
Water Scrip" 80 year Z per cent bonds,
due Jan. /, 1899. Each bond was for s.. 900
and there were eleven of them. They
were issued on Jan. 1. 1869, to H. w.
p. Mali & Co. They were signed by Will
lam Clarke, Mayor; Geo. Mclaughlin,
President; Herbert R. Clarke, Noah D.
Taylor, Patrick REILLY of the Board of
Works, and Hosea f.. Clark, President
of the Common Council at that time of
the city's history. With the exception of
Mr.. Herbert r. Clarke all those who
signed the scrip are dead.
The bonds were afterwards assigned to
j. PHILIPPE Berard of Paris and were sent
for collection to the city yesterday by the
famous London banking firm of Barring
& Co.
Even at that time engraving of city
bonds was at an advanced stage, and
work on these scrips is exceedingly fine
and shows a splendid picture of the water
front of the city thirty years g The
deputies of the Comptroller and Treas
urer were much interested in the picture,
and pointed out places which by the
of progress and railroads have
long since been wiped out.
Why look said Deputy Comptroller
Egan, there's Mount Pleasant before he
Pennsylvania cut wiped 1t out. Many a
time have l scrambled up there n in
company too" .
There's the town clock on the old Wall
Street Church, now removed to make way
for the Mackenzie fats On Washington
street" said Deputy Treasurer Ely, land
the South Bergen Church steeple."
In the lower left hand corner the en-
graver thought it would be an appropriate
idea, since the scrip was for water, to put
in a stag wading through a river. If the
river was intended for the Passaic it was
evident that even at that time the stream
was filthy. for Mr.. Stag has his nose very
much in the air and the water is dropping
off him in chunks. In the opposite corner
there is an Indian engaged in the merciful
pastime of those days. ~yanking off the
scalp of a PROSTATE foe. AS the city was
Democratic then it might convey IN al
fusion to a Republican defeat and a pic
torial representation of ito the victor be-
long the spoils.' Whatever the artists
intentions were the scrip are full of in
terest and it has been suggested that the
Free Library Trustees secure one of them
to be framed for the walls of the new
Free Library building.

CRUELTY CAUSED SUICIDE
Mrs. Eggers Because of Her
Husbands Brutality Drank
Carbolic Acid.

Tragis was the outcome of a drunken
spree of Adolph Eggers, of No. Ill Park
avenue, Hoboken, yesterday. Returning
home in the afternoon in a surly mood
he began breaking furniture and crock
cry, and when his young wife, Alvtne,
protested, he abused her numerically.
Mrs. Eggers. who was but twenty-four
years old. and the mother of three chil-
dren, took her husbands onduc 10
heart and retired, weeping, to her bed
room.
Frightened at the moaning which came
from the apartment a short time later,
the little ones began to cry. Eggers
hushed them with threats. Going to his
wife's room he found her in agony. A
half drained vial of carbofic acid, which
stood on a chair near the bed, told its
own tale.
"You were cruel to me, Adolph," feebly
muttered the dying woman to Eggers,
but I forgive you. Dom forget to be
good to the children and
Here she suddenly came to1a pause, and
the drunken man, awakening to the true
condition of affairs, fed from the room
uttering cries of tHelp!'
Neighbors sent in a call Tor the city am
bulance and Mrs. Eggers was taken TO
st. Mary's Hospital, where she died last
evening.
Eggers was locked up at Police Head
quarters on a charge of drunkenness.
When arraigned before Recorder STAN
ton this morning the prisoner told con-
fiicting stories. DR.. Keiser, who had at
tended Mrs. Eggers, said Eggers refused
to render him any assistance in making
her last moments peaceful, and hat was
why the %neighbors were told to summon
the ambulance.
Herman Loeb, a brother OF Mrs. Eg-
gers. testified that he found a cut over
her eve and abrasions in several places
on her body, -
Recorder stanton was not INCLINED to
occnrrence. He did not wish to allow Egg
gers to 60 unpublished for his brutality,

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR HoHoRED.
Reception to Hugh De Payens Conn
maddery at Bergen Baptist.

The lecture room of the Bergen Baptist
Church presented a pretty appearance
last evening when services In honor OF
Hugh fde Payens ~Commandery. No. /,
knights Templar, were held. About two
hundred members of the lodge, attired in
full Templar uniform, with cap suspended
from belt, marched to the church from
the quarters on Bergen avenue near Fair
mount avenue. Scarcely a seat was
vacant when the opening anthem, oh,
Redeemer Divine (Gounod), was rendered
by the choir of twenty-eight voices, un-
der the direction of Organist F. G, Dos
sert. On each side of the pulpit platform
a huge American flag was placed. There
was a large cross Of white roses near the
pulpit.
After the choir sang Praise the Lord
(Randermeyer), Master Arthur Nash OF
the choir of AL Angels Episcopal Church,
New York, and a pupil of DR.. Desserts,
sang Meditation" with violin, harp ana
organ accompaniment. III. T. Pond was
harpist, Theodore Arnheiter .violinist n
f. G. Dessert organist.
The Rev. John C. Allen then began an
interesting discourse IN Brotherhood
Divine and Brotherhood by Nature HIS
sermon was taken from the sermon OF
Christ on the Mountain. He said he con-
sidered the church the greatest OF organl-
cations, sent out to conquer the world.
All organizations, including the church,
are to be judged according to their teach
ings and their work, especially their moral
standing; in a word, by their usefulness.
The members of the commandery were
then escorted to the chapel, where an ex-
cellent collation. was served. The dainty
luncheon was prepared by the members
of the Ladies Society. 1t was AFTER
eleven o'clock when the members re-
luctantlu left
