followed by a reading OF extracts from

occasion. She has been studying under
and reading with one of the finest inter-
pretations of Browning in the country,
since last year. besides which fact Mrs.
Leland has made Browning" her sum
mer's study, and Is thoroughly CONVEX

served and a general social ensued.

The engagement of the Kelcey-Shannon
Company IN their remarkably successful
play, aThe Moth and the Flame" at the
Academy this week, Is proving to be high
" successful. 1.-THE Moth and the Flame"
is a play with a moral, a thoroughly
high class and thoroughly dramatic pro-
nuction. dealing with the fashionable, So
cial and representative life of New York
City. Herbert Kelley was always a
strong a matinee card during the time he.
vas a member Of the Lyceum Theatre
Stock Company, New York. and is PROV
Ing to be the same here. Certainly he and
Mics shannon have surrounded them
selves with a most capable company and
give a magnificent performance. The
business Of the Academy of Music. we are
happy to state. is constantly on the in
grease.
Next Monday night, II present indica-
fions are not deceptive. there will be one
OF the most brilliant first night assem-
bIages at the Academy Of Music to wit
ness the last and most complete example
of dramatic work. THE Heart of Mary
Hand which has met with an unexaIn-
pied success for the last three seasons in
the principal American and European
cities. The story OF the play and the
cumulative interest of It's progress and
incidents have for their inspiration a
woman love, and her heroic struggle to
protect and defend the man upon whom
she has bestowed her affection. The most
realistic and memorable scene yet intro
duced In a modern play closes the third
act. In this the heroine. Maryland Cal
vert, in order to save her lover from pur-
suit-he having escaped while being led
out TO be shot-rushes from the old
church tower, and up the winding stairs
into the dark heights of the belfry. and
~spr1nging from the platform, grasps the
clapper OF the bell and swings to and fro
with the swaying bell The bell cannot
ring out the alarm, and her lovers life
Is saved.
Wednesday and Saturday matinees will
be given during the engagement OF THE

The Result In Hrasox.

The result Of the election in Hudson
County is due to several causes.
First. there Is the resistance of a vast
majority Of sensible men to any attempt
TO revive the blue laws.
Second there is the disgust Of all men
and especially Of Republican leaders. with
The Republican machine and its bosses.
Third. the Democratic ticket from top
TO bottom was high grade and intensely
popular.
Fourth. the Republican ticket was in
tensely unpopular and obviously unfit.
Fifth, the campaign was managed IN a
mastery manner. The Democratic leader
Robert Davis, showed true leadership
throughout. His guidance determined the
choice, Of the winning ticket. His energy
and good judgment directed a fight which
was at once vigorous and prudent.
