Queen City Speciality Company at
the Bon Ton.

The Queen City Speciality Company,
the attraction at the Bon Ton Theatre,
this week, played to a good sized audience
in that popular vaudeville house last
night. The entertainment furnished by
the artists is a first class one. Lester
and Jerman opened the programme lin
their u~p-to-date speciality, 'Upholstering
a Woman Their act is first class. The
Frederick Brothers, musical artists, are
good entertainers and they were well re-
ceived. Mic the Green Fields of Old
Virginia, was very cleverly illustrated
and sung with good effect by Gibson and
Reynolds. The reception given them was
enthusiastic and they had to respond
three times. An act which is well worth
seeing is the one given by Mr.. George
Baron. 1t is his comic wild beast act,
in which he has three large dogs with
coverings over their heads representing
them to be wild and vicious lions in a
cage made of wood. The dogs are we'll
trained. They provoke much laughter.
La Petite Grace, a child of not more than
five years of age, brought the house
down when she gave limitations of Anna
Held and other actresses. The comedy
sketch, "McGowan's VISIT" by LIE Roy
and Clayton was excellent. They furnish
a good fifteen minutes of laughter. The
Brilliant Quartette consisting of Rapp,
Wech, Mitchell and Marion are all fine
singers. The hit of the evening is the
act of O'Brien and Havel in their sketch,
1.-The Newsboy and the Maid" This pair
are old time favorites in Jersey City and
they were called before the footlights three
times and given a tremendous ovation.
The programme closed with picturesque
shown by the American Vitagraph. The
great Spanish bull fight, which was held
for the benefit of raising funds to increase
the spanish Navy previous to the war
was shown.

BROWNING CLASS.
interpretations of THE Statue and
the Bust Many and Varied.

1t was surprising the number and vari-
ETY. of interpretations the various mem
beers of the Browning Club yesterday
afternoon culled from 1.-THE Statue and
the Bust at the residence of Mrs. r.
w. Newbury, No. 81 Clifton place, and
some of these interpretations probably
the poet himself never thought of-but
then that is what a Browning class is
for.
Mrs. John A. Walker spoke on Robbia,
telling who he was. She thought that
it was most likely Lucia del Robbia, who
is referred to in the poem, as he was the
best known of a long line of Robbias,
his art lying principally in his heads oil
singing children, smiling women and Ma
donnas.
John of Douay'' was disposed of much
in the same manner by Mrs. E. w. New
bury, who also gave an Interpretation, in
which she said the poem was founded
upon fact, differing in the manner of de-
tail from Browning's story.
Then came the interpretations, or rather
the moral drawn by various members of
the class. Miss Simpson started this, with
an excellent paper setting forth the story
with all it's side lights and drawing the
lesson, that a crime might be committed
in thought as well as deed. At last when
everybody had given IN opinion, Mrs.
Leland said they had all taken the poem
too literally. The real lesson of the
piece was the wasted life the point I'M
gained, be it what it may
On Monday next the club will meet
again at Mrs. Newbury's to study

Among those present were:-Mrs. E.. w.
Newbury, Mrs. John A. Walker, Mrs. M.

APPROPRIATION BILL

Especial to .sThe Jersey city News.''l

M lSpecldl % lie Jersey lilly News.
TRENTON, March p, 1899.-The APP
preparation Committee held three sessions
yesterday, beginning early in the morn
ing and quitting just before the Legis-
lature began. They accomplished con-
siderable and the appropriation bill is
almost completed. When this bill is
brought in and passed there will be moth
ing in the way of final adjournment
which almost every one expects will take
place at the end Of this week.
The committee took no action on the
Railway Reformatory matter, which is
the most difficult problem before the
committee. 1t was practically decided to
give the Morris Plains State Insane Hos
pital $14S, 500, which is an amount sufficient
to complete the new wing. The $4,000
asked by the E%pileptic Commission will
be allowed.
1t is also understood that the Soldiers
and Sailors Home at Vineland will be
given $21, 0O0. The appropriations Of the
following will be increased: State Insane
Hospitals, increase Of $500; Clerk of
Chancery's office, $500; printing laws.
81, 500; Newark Armory, $4,000; County
Asylums, $40, coo, as follows: Essex and
Hudson s., 600; Cumberland, $500; Atlantic,
$500. The amount to be given to Glouces-
ter will likely be decreased $500. The Ma
ational Guard appropriation is to be in
creased by $4,000, and the additional
amount to be given to the Naval Reserve
Battalion of the East will be $500. 1t has
been practically decided that the amount
of 1920, GOO asked by the Railway Reform
alton Commission for the completion of
that institution is excessive, and the
plans of the Commission are beyond the
capacity of the State and must be modi-
fed.
The other items considered by the COM
mittee will be the same as next.

The fine missionary work which billy"

last evening when the House passed the
bill allowing picnic and pleasure grounds
to have more than one bar within the

Double bar bilp' against which the
churches and temperance organizations
have been hurting their broadsides. AS
the measure originated in the Senate it
only requires the Governors signature to
become a law. When Mr.. Benny had ex-
hausted his ~eloquence the House settled
down to business and passed a large num-
Der of bills. Among them were House,

QUAD says that Speaker Watkins meas

enough. and that his bill c%orrects the
omission.
The speaker embraced another oppor-
tunity last evening to sit on his friend,
Roger Murray of Plainfield. A Senate bill
came up on third reading and the Speaker
asked who spoke for the bill. There was
no response, and the speaker said,
Doesn't any one speak for this bill?"

bobbing up serenely.

sufficiently informed on this bill to speak
upon it," said the speaker, taking UP the
calendar.
