LAFAYETTE REPUBs' FLAG RAISING
Chesrs Greeted Old Glory as She
Was Unfurled

The Lafayette Republican Association
had a jolly time yesterday at its quarters
on C~ommunipaw avenue, when a hand
some new American flag was raised to
the top of the large pole in front of the
club house. Representatives from all the
Republican tubs in the city were pres
ent, and the cheering that greeted Old
Glory as it was flung to the breezes could
be heard blocks away.
About four O'Clock Captain Charles o.
Barker. the president of the Association,
pulled the cord which released the hand
some piece of bunting and Immediately
the cheering began. When it subsided
the president said he knew of no more
fitting time than that TO raise the Stars
and Stripes. He referred to the life of
Washington and concluded by giving a
concise but interesting history of the flag,
s'for which SO many AVE aid down their
lives and which thousands of others stand
ready to defend with their blood
The a~ssemblage then adjourned to the
club rooms, where delicious howde was
served. The gathering did not break up
for hours. a

"Mignen," presented with an alternate
ing cast of exceptional excellence, has
been greeted with a hearty appreciation
by the patrons of the Castle Square Opera
Company. The American Theatre has
been crowded nightly as theatres are sell
dom crowded in New York.
Miss de Treville scored equally as
Mignon, and individual successes have
been made by Miss Norwood. Miss Nor
gan, Mr.. Sheehan. Mr.. Stewart, Mr.. But
Ter and Miss Macniehol.
9Th Grand Duchess" is scheduled for
presentation next week, with Miss Mac
nichol in the title role. Her success as
the central figure in Offenbach's spark
ling opera comique is assured because of
her u~ndisputed high comedy talent aud
her skill in characterization and vocalf-
cation.
The return of two old favorites, Mr..
Raymond Hitchcock and Miss Gertrude
Quinlan will be warmly welcomed. Miss
Quinlan will sing Wanda, n Mr.. Hitch
cock Baron Puck. Rarely has the comedy
element of the opera been entrusted to
more competent hands, for in addition to
Mr.. Hitchcock, Mr.. Norman and Mr..
Moulan will appear as General Boum and
Prince Paul. Clinton Elder will sing
Fritz. The opera demands a picturesque
scenic environment. a wealth Of Access
sories and superb costumes. The past
record Of the Castle Square Opera Com
pany is a guarantee that the production
will be on the usual lavish scale.

Meadow Reclamation.

The. scheme for the reclamation OF
the meadow lands along the Passaic and
Hackensack Rivers and Newark Bay is
one of vast Importance to the entire
State, involving as it does, a vast de-
velopment in wealth. production and pop
ulation. TO Jersey City it is of snperia-
tive interest, because we are likely to be
the very largest beneficiaries.
If the scheme is logically carried out. 1t
ought to develop between our western
edge and the Passaic River a magnificent
area of level lane adapted in the most
perfect way for manufacturing purposes.
With deep waterways on either side, and
gridironed by railroads reaching North.
South and West, only a couple of miles
distant from New York, the greatest
centre of consumption and exchange in
the country. the territory now abandoned
TO mosquitoes and bullfrogs is capable
dustry on the face of the globe.
The plan of reclamation, it must be re-
membered, should always go hand in
hand with the improvement of the Hack
ensack and Passaic as ~navigahle rivers.
The Federal Government should be urged
to deepen and widen their channels, and
the Legislature should be urged to give
authority for the erection of piers and
wharves to accommodate shipping. The
two great projects are complementary to
each other, and either, without the other,
would b. incomplete and unsatisfactory.
Another thing the citizens of his coun-
ty should bear In mind, and hat is the
necessity of retaining all this territory as
recIaimable land to Essex county and
eventually to the city of Newark that the
Harrison and Kearny annexationists are
directing their energies. The present
agitation of the future of the meadow
lands is the best evidence to our people
of the huge value of the disputed tract.
1t takes the discussion out of the realm
OF mere assertion, and shows eonelusively
that If this territory is taken from our
county and given over to Essex, we are
being robbed of our future, strangied in
BUR growth. confined to artificial and mar
row limits of progress. while our rival is
fattened and made proud upon nat
which is, by nature and long tenure,
ours.
h address Of Mr.. Solomon before the
Board of Trade, on Tuesday night, ought
TO serve many useful purposes. 1t ought
to arouse not only that body but the
citizens In general to a broad understand
ing of b whole subject, and a deter
mination to fight for their rights.

poToeRApRs QUEER FEATURES.

Mr.. George L. Wins, who photographed
the room in the Jersey City Club on the
occasion of the Board of Trade dinner,
sent copies of the photographs to the
meeting on Tuesday night of the Board.
Generally it is a good picture, but there
are exceedingly humorous features about
it, due to the extreme difficulty of taking
such a mass of people with the uncertain
1a%shlight. Some of the guests have halos
their heads and others who ought
to have haven't. Some ave lost their
features entirely and not a few resemble
the faniods Ell folk. One of the photo
graphs have been purchased by the Board
and in due time it will be framed and
hung on the walls of the rooms, under
the Second National Bank Building, so
that those who wish to see how nice, or
otherwise, they look MAJ inspect it.
