of his country finds a considerable fac
ton rally to his support.
This faction parades the streets shout

In fact, orders its Chief of Police to sup

Uncle Toms Cabin at the Bijou.

If one wants to see Toms Cabin"
produced on the stage in an up-to-date
style he won't see much of Uncle Tom.
AS produced at the Bijou last night it
was very much up-to-date and very little
Uncle Tom. But the authors of the pro-
duction and the managers may perhaps
be pardoned for partially P~arisianizing
the southern slave of a half a century
ago.. 1t would seem that now-a-day audi
ences call for it, as was evidenced by the
tremendous applause which greeted the
efforts of the mulattoes from Thompson
street in the various scenes in which
they were introduced. OF course allow
ance is made for up-to-date specialties.
There was still, however, enough of The
play to give the children of the third
generation, born after Mrs. Stoves story
was written, the drift of it.
Certainly but little fault could be found
with the representation of Uncle Tom by
our old minstrel favorite. Milt G. Barlow,
while little Eva of the play is all the
fondest admirer of that bright little
CLEAN of heavenly sunshine in the story
could ask for. The Eva of Mrs. Stoves
story is ~enshrined in the hearts of several
generations. 1t is the Uncle Tom and the
Eva of every production of the dramal-
lied version of the story that draws the
crowd 70 see the play.
The rest of the cast were more than
tolerable. Mr.. Parks Marks was good,
though not exactly the ideal crooked law
yer of the above period of our national
existence. The ideal never carried such
an up-to-date vaudeville umbrella. But
at times Mr.. Parks is overwhelmingly
funny.
Mr.. r. A. Barker as s.Simon Legree,"
was appreciated. In fact the best bit of
acting last night. was in the scene be-
tween him and Garry" The latter. I'M
p~ersonated by Miss Julia Gilmore, gave
equal satisfaction with that of Mr..
Barker.
especially the cotton picking scene. There
are a number Of ~allegorical pictures,
the best of which was little Eva's ascent
to heaven.

FOR GRADED SCHOOLS.
Educational Relief Granted To
Rural Districts - Truant
School Established.
rsnec,a, to .arhe .Jersev citv News..1

Especial to 9TH Jersey City News"
TRENTON, March IA, 1899.-The conlinis-
sion appointed a year g to codify and
revise the school laws of the State made
its report to the Governor last night for
transmission to the Legislature. The re-
port in the main is a consideration and
simplification of the existing laws. There
will be some changes recommended. A
eatur of the bill will be a provision per-
hitting adjoining districts to unite for the
purpose of maintaining graded schools.
This is intended for the rural districts
that cannot support graded schools ex-
clusively their own. These graded schools
will be under direction of a Board APP
pointed from the Boards of the districts
combined. 1t is also provided that dis
tricts without graded schools may send
their children to graded schools in other
districts upon payment of a proportionate
amount to the district to which the Chill
dren are sent. Another feature of the re-
port will be that authorizing the estab-
lishment of truant schools in the larger
municipalities where children shall be sent
who are guilty of ruancy. The school is
also intended to be an intermediate reform
school.
Inc question OF now the bcdIuS VI liu'
tees are to be chosen is one that has given
the Commission considerable difficulty. be-
cause of the different methods now exist
ing in different parts of the State. The
report will suggest three plans, and leave
! the choice to the Legislature.
The first provides for an elective Board
of Trustees, the second for an appoint
i've Board, and third for a cornbin atian
of the two. This combination will be the
election of an even lumber of men from
each party, who shall be vested with the
| power to appoint a School Board.
Today is the first day of registration
for the municipal election in April.
Personal registry is required.
If o are not registered you cannot
vote.
Dc not lose the opportunity to register
tomorrow.

s-.cretary Cages Financial Methods

We have another touch of secretary
Cages peculiar fnancieang yesterday.
Hinder the head of miscellaneous income
he Includes about 81, S0o, 00O, which is the
amount of payments on Union Faclhc
railroad account. BY means of this
i,ge,e he reduces the deficit on paper to
ONLY about s92,0 O0,o 0O.
We pointed out a year ago, the gross
dishonesty of this style of bookkeeping.
It is as if a private citizen should sen d
house. which he owned, and then charge
M the price as income, and set II On
against his current expenditures. Ii a
private citizen were to do this, we shouio
ass1redly pronounce him either a fool or
= rogue-perhaps both. How Secretary
Gage and his s~ide-partner, Mr. Mckinley
are to be classified any differently, wheh
the juggle thus with h public 1unos'
RenubIican orators may be able to ex-
plain, but we cannot.
It is true, a clause was slipped into an
Act of the late Congress, the Sundry SiVli
Augmentation Law if we remember
eright. which gives the Secretary au-
thority to use this Union Pacific money
for current expenses. 1t was surrep-
titiously put in and put through. or II
could not have been put through at all.
Even the last Congress would hardy
stand for this act of incredible folly ana
dishonesty. But the existence OF TINS
power does not convert the Union Paciiic
payments into income. 1t authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to raid Uncle
SANS reserve assets to make good the
deficiency in income under the present
revenue system-nothing more and moth
ing less.
We do not think Secretary Cages shell
game will impose on the voters to any
great extent in the next Presidential cleo
ton.

ADJUSTMENTS.
London Life" at the Academy.

sLondon Life" a melodrama in five
acts, opened a weeks engagement at the
Academy of Music last night and a large
audience greeted the piece with much en-
thusiasm. The theme is a well worn one,
but the play is well put together and full
of strong climaxes n pretty pictures.
Colonel Sir George Ferrers casts his
daughter off because she refuses to marry
Stephen Granger. Granger is a coundre
and has the love of Lady Ferrers, who
married Sir George for his fortune. Lieu
tenant Harry Maxwell, a protege OF Sir
George, marries Gladys Ferrers and loses
his commission in the army. Sir George
refuses to pardon Gladys. Six years after
her marriage she is induced by JACK
Ferrers, / a disowned nephew of Sir
George, to send her dying child to her
fathers home. Fearing that Sir George
will relent toward Gladys because of her
child. Lady Ferrers and Granger hire
Jack Ferrers, through a friend, to kidnap
the child. The plot is discovered by Sir
George, who accuses Lady Ferrers and
Granger on Jacks story. Sir George is
killed by Granger. The latter tries to place
the blame on Jack, but the tables are
turned by Lady Ferrers, who discovers
that Granger loves another and for re-
venge she appears against him. The usual
happy ending is well brought out. Gladys
is discovered to be a widow and she re-
wards Jack for his years of devotion to
her.
The bright star of the ompan is Miss
Lillian Lamson. AS Lady Ferrers, the
adventures, her work is excellent. Miss
Lamson is the possessor of an unusual
pair of eyes which she uses bewitchingly.
Her voice is very good. That she de-
lighted the audience was demonstrated
by the ovation she received.
Miss Florence Stone as Gladys is very
good. Her scene when her child is taken
from her is an excellent piece of acting
and the audience gave her curtain calls
galore.
Augustus Cook made a good, happy
Jack Ferrers, and o~vershadowed the other
male member of the company, who were
fair.
Miss Jennie Satterlee was at her best
as Mrs. Delaney. She also did well as
Mollie Crockett. Charles Garfield as
Stephen Granger, Richard Ganthony as
Sir George, and Edward Brewster as
Lieutenant Maxwell, were up to the mark
and did good work. Baby June as the
child Katie made a big hit in her work
with little Violet Holiday as the boy.
The performance was excellent as a
| whole and well worth seeing.
