WOMEN AND WINE.
Mrs. Rollins Lectures at Mrs.
Forman's to White
Ribboners.

DR.. Hers church is making IN effort
to boom temperance. 1t has a live So
ciety which is doing all in its power,
with Mrs. Warren Dusenbury as president
n Mrs. c. Story as vice president, to-
ward that end. Meetings are held every
month and competent speakers are pro-
cured.
Yesterday afternoon a special effort to
interest those not already members of
the organization was made through the
courtesy of Mrs. s.. r.. Forman, who
kindly offered her residence, corner OF
Bergen and Jewett venue for a parlor
meeting. Neat cards of invitation were
sent to the different ladies' of the church,
with the result that about fifty ladies
and a few men gathered in Mrs, Forman's
spacious parlors at about three p. M. to
hear Miss Helen Rollins. of Yonkers, the
speaker of the afternoon.
Miss Rollins. after a vocal solo by Dahl,
of Newark. gave a Bible reading from
John. taking as her text the passage
wherein Christ turned the water into wine
at the marriage feast at Cana. She spoke
worry strongly against fermented wine at
communion services, and held that the

mented. Our Lord, she said. used new
vessels, because in these there was no
fermentation, while in the old vessels
used for the bottling of wine the germs
of fermentation still live, to make the
liquor Intoxicating. Throughout her en-
tire address she referred many times to
both the Old and New Testaments fer
confirmation of her statements. Her
voice was most soft and pleasing, often
persuasive, and when she argued that
if more interest in the work were taken
by the churches there would be no need
of the W. c.. T. u, every lady in the
room felt inclined to work harder for the
cause in the future.
: Miss Dahl, who has a most charming
voice, sang another solo appropriate to
the subject, and Mrs. c. Story, County
President w. c. 7. u, made an urgent
appeal that the churches enter more into
the spirit of the work. She also spoke
of the good the w. c.. T. U. is accomplish
1AS at the Newman Mission, which every
Sunday evening is visited by a committee
of White RibbonerS. Altogether it was a
most enjoyable afternoon, and the ladies
all left the house convinced Of the value
of temperance. The next meeting will be
held in the church parlors.

AM USEMENTS.
The Girl From Paris" at the
Academy of Music.


That merry story of the wiles of a a
Parisienne and the havoc she makes in
staid households. as told in THE Girl
from Paris. was produced last night at
the Academy of Music. and a very extel-
lent performance it was, OF sto use the
professional term, ut was a good shpw."
The theme of the comedy is briefly a
typical French coquette who has many
admirers, who brings suit against one of
them. a married man, who resorts to all
sorts of devices to rid himself of his em-
barrassing situation. Around this are in
terwoven a series of odd incidents, COM
bining to. make a play of very great
humor. One thing is noticeable in it and
that is the very first class business"
seen in the work of each artist.
AS Madame Julie. the gay Parisienne.
Miss Marion Daniels is exceptionally
clever. graceful, winning and a true
artist. Her dances had a distinct
Partisan flavor and her songs. too. The
henpeckede husband and defendant in
Madame jules suit. Mr.. Ebenezer
Honeycomb, was played by Alexander
Clark. and it is not too much to say the
role has never been in better hands. Par
tieuiarly funny was he in his Hieland
dress. His songs and dancing were very
artistieally given. Another excellsnt
piece of work was that of Ruth, the tough
slavey, played by Miss Olive Wallace, who,
unfortunately, was suffering from a cold.
J. C. Marlowe, the belligerent bluff-gruff
Major Fossdyke was admirably portrayed,
and equally good was the work of the
volatile spy, Pompier, by Sidney H. De
Grey. The very amusing character of the
Spa Hotel proprietor, played by Harry
Hermsen, was in itself a delicious piece
of comedy work. Mrs. Honeycomb in the
hands of Miss Lee Hobbs Martin was an
other praiseworthy piece of work, while
the minor parts in the hands of Charles
Drake, Miss Retta Word and Harry
Thornton were all carefully rendered. In
deed the supporters were all excellent,
making an effective ensemble.
Amoria, the dainty d~anseuse, must not
be forgotten. Her "eontortions. splits,
h~andsprings, ~pivouettes and high kick
ing were all of the most advanced
terpsiehorean style.
Throughout the acts there are several
choruses and quartettes and duets, and
chief among the latter must be mentioned
''Tweedledum and Tweedledee," sung by
Alexander Clark and Miss Daniels. The
quartette, "Cock-a-Doodle, by Miss Mar
tin, j. c. Mar1owe, OLIVE Wallace and
Alexander Clark, was also cleverly sung
Decidedly the Academy is to be con-
graduated on the production of such a

"Gayest Manhattan" at the Bijou
Theatre.

"Gayest Manhattan" unde the man.
agement of Roster & Bial, is the attrac-
ton at the Bijou Theatre, this week, and
a large and enthusiastic audience greet
ed it upon the opening night in this city.
There is no particular plot, the play be-
ing merely continual vaudeville. The first
act opens with a scene in Central Park,
New York, and during the act a number
of good specialties are given. An anus
ing part of his act is the statues of the
policemen having fun with a farmer, who
has just arrived in town to see the
sights, and it created much laughter
throughout the house. h second act
opens with a scene in the ballroom of
the hotel Waldorf, and the singing of the
opening chorus was a~pplauded to the
echo.
This act is also very lively and plenty
of good catchy music is rendered in it.
Miss Gertie Reynolds is a very clever
young lady in her part as Milanda Prin-
die, and she is also a very good singer
The song, but Wasn't 1t an ODD Place
to Do It," was very cleverly u n by her,
and the audience made her respond a
number of times. Another feature is the
closing choTuS, leu ny MISS heyAotuS' III
the second act, and he singing Of "Di-
nah," by the hole company, was very
good. The third and last act is the best
of the three and opens with a speciality
by Mr.. Joseph Kerney and Miss Helen
Hell, in coon songs. They are a very
good team and well merited the applause
they received. It is worth the price of
admission to go and see the Nelson Sis
tiers, composed of four girls, in their ac-
robatic feats. They are wonders, and
their equal has never been in this city.
The Bootblack Quartette is a very good
one. and their songs, last night, were
very pleasing. The show is an excellent
me from beginning to the end and is
worth seeing. 1t will be at the Bijou all
this week.
For next week, Mr.. Holmes has engaged
a first class show, entitled Daughters
of fhe Poor

Through the d~renching rain which came
down in torrents the people kept pouring
into the Bon Ton last evening until there
was not a seat left in the house, and this,
too. in the face of the many other attrac-
lions that were in full swing. The cause
of all this commotion was the Rentz-
Santley troup Of pretty burlesque girls.
