JANAUSCHEK

Madam Janauschek, who last week
played at Washington, received very
high endorsement of the Washington
press. The Star has the following to
say of her performance:
Mime. Janauschek, a past mistress of
the technique of the stage, is giving to
washington this week one of the most
artistic representations that has been
seen here for long time. Her Meg
Merrihes is the very embodiment of
Scotts description of his famous crea-
ton; her love for young Henry Bertram,
touching IN its tenderness; her hate for
his father, bitter in its intensity, and her
resolve to restore the rightful heir to his
own, powerful in its tenacity, are al ele-
ments in a character strongly and dra-
matically developed, in a play of un-
doubted interest. Janauschek's death
scene is of itself study, and holds the
audience in rapt attention to the fall of
the curtain. Reserve seats now on sale
at Bobbitt- Wynne's drug store.

Your correspondents is of those who
believe the Fair grounds should be south
of the city. and that the present grounds
ought to be sold. In less than mile

tiers and the suggestive hints to the State

other fair is about to emerge from the

a member of the Legislature that Gre
ated the office. and was elected to fill
the office that he worked so hard to es-
tablish. 1t is just to his memory to say
that he worked even more earnestly to
discharge the duties of the office than he
did to create it. He had the honor of

great work for the cause of public educa-
ton. Let us honor the memory of such

TIE TRENTON FAIR.

The Interstate Fair held ut Trenton
last week was poorly attended, nj
though, so far as exhibits were CON
cerned, 1t was one of the best held by
the organization. No doubt the slim
attendance was principally owing to
the attention of the people being
drawn to other attractions, such as the
Dewey parades in New York, the Ex
port Exposition in Philadelphia, etc.
There is considerable criticism of
the managers because they cut the adj
yertising, the attractions, etc, and
otherwise reduced expenses, but we
see none with reference to their dis
graceful and criminal conduct in per
hitting vile and disgusting side-shows
within the enclosure There were four
or five of these shows III which lewe
women were exhibited, and some very
indecent exhibitions were given every
few minutes III front of these tents rs
an inducement to "the boys" to come
inside The talk of the claekers for
these shows was worse, if anything,
than the antics of the women, and
was ut times downright indecent.
Yet this was allowed to go on for five
days by these directors, many of
which could not have been ignorant of
the character of these SO called amuse-
ments. On Tuesday hundreds of
school children were taught "moras''
in front of these tents, and ladies
were compelled to witness these yul-
ger exhibitions in passing to the two
main buildings for ladies exhibits.
Now, all of the directors of the
Trenton fair pretend to be decent
men, but they sanction an indecency.
II they get their deserts, they will be
indicted by the next Mercer County
Grand Jury for maintaining lewd and
indecent exhibitions.

ovation. A million and half of citi.
Zens did honor to their idol with Il
warmth of feeling that could not be
misunderstood. The military process.
sion was over five hours passing the
reviewing stand whoro the Admiral
received the formal salute. Fifth
avenue, the great city highway, was
packed with people for seven miles.
with just space for the marching col
umns to pass. and the cheers which
greeted Dewey were deafening and
prolonged The naval review of Fri
day was equally significant Our
finest ships of war and the fleet of
splendid u. s. revenue cutters, fol.
lowed by 800 other craft, large and
small, were in the water procession of
twelve miles, following the Admiral's
flagship. All the war vessels saluted
Grants tomb as they passed. The
whole display, on land and water, was
of II most remarkable character, and
should be an object lesson for all men
who would do well by their country.
