ior no reason save to turn the county
government to Republican control and
sne harvest from that sowing is the aceu-
mutation Of robbery and cruelty which
Democrats are now laboring to sweep
away.
1t is we'll to remember. also. that, within
'ne last fortnight, Allan L. McDermott
has labored strenuously in the Senate to
have bill passed aholishfng the present
Board. and creating one of seYen mem
oers, tosbe elected by the county at large.
Allan L. McDermott is Democrat, and
the men who defeated his efforts were the
Republican majority, and especially the
Senator from Essex, on the practically
avowed ground that the Republican free
holders of Essex-a similar rotten gang to
the recent Combine" board in this
county-exactly suited the G. O. p.
machine-he called it "the people"-in
Essex county.
The Democratic record is clean and
straight on county affairs in this county.
The G. o. p. organs had better not stir
up the subject too much. Every fact in
it bears heavily against their own party.

The Castle Square Opera Company's re-

Theatre has been attended with marked
success. The Easter attraction,
Nicolais s.The Merry Wives of Windsor"
promises to eclipse in popular interest the
greatest production ! of La Gioconda." !"
Like Ponchielli's masterwork, Nicolais
version of Shakespeare's classic comedy
has not been sung in English in this city
in. recent years, and its re-appearance as
sumes the nature of a novelty. The plot
of Nicolai's opera follows closely that Of
Shakespeare's comedy though the ac-
ton is confined entirely to the amatory
adventures of the fat knight Falstaff,
with the merry wives, with the love of
Fenton and Anne as an incident. Sir
John is inveigled into two visits to the
house of Mrs. Ford with familiar results.
First he is carried out in a basket, COW
cred with linen and thrown into the
Thames. The second time he encounters
Ford's cudgel. The third is the memoir
able meeting in Windsor Park, where Sir
John is tormented and ridiculed by the
mock fairies. The score which is in the
composers best vein, accentuates the
comedy and contains as well, many
In the role of Fenton the management
will introduce the latest addition to their
forces in the person of Mr.. E. c. He'd
mondt, an American tenor who was last
seen in this country in the support of En-
ma Juch. He has been a member of
the Carl Rosa and National Opera Com
panies for the last five years, and has
won by his splendid gifts both vocal and
dramatic. an unexcelled position on the
English speaking lyric stage. The re-
maning roles will enlist the following fav-
orites of the company:-Clinton Elder,
Frank Moulan, Henry Norman, HI: L.
Chase, l.. B. Merrill, Lizzie Macnichol.
Laura Millard and Frances Miller. Dur
ing the week Mr.. Thomas Green will al
ternate with Mr.. Hedmondt in the role
of Fenton.
The scenic production will be of IN un-
usually elaborate nature, the scene in
Windsor Park rejecting an English Land
scape noted in history. Great opportuni-
ties will be AFFORDED for picturesque dress
ing which are certain to be finely realized.

LIGHT UNDER P. R. R. TRESTLE.

Mayor Hoos, always with an eye to the
convenience of the public, sent this letter
to the Street and Water Commissioners
yesterday
"Quite a number of business men have
spoken to me regarding the placing of an
electric light underneath the P. R. r.
trestle on Newark avenue, near Hender-
son street. This trestle darkens that part
of our city's main thoroughfare and its
gloomy aspect at night discourages
pedestrians from passing under it. A
light placed there would be highly appre-
ciated by both pedestrians and business
men on either side of this .trestle. Trust
ing that you will take steps towards the
placing of q light in that locality. | leave
this matter for your consideration.

TO PREVENT CONTAcION.
Railroad Companies Must Re-
port Arrival Of All Persons
With Dread Disease.

To prevent the spread Of contagion in
this city Police Commissioners West and
Walter were appointed a committee by
President Abernethy last night to confer
with the directors of all railroads having
their termini in the city. The directors
win be asked to see that the arrival of a
person having contagious disease is at
once reported to the proper authorities.
This action was taken on suggestion of
a proclamation issued by the louisiana
State Board of Health, which goes into
effect April /. The proclamation sets
forth that certain rules regarding yellow
fever must be observed.
Last year when yellow fever was an
epidemic in the South, every car arriving
in Jersey City from that locality was
fumigated by the health authorities at
the expense of the railroad companies.

Yom Kippur CYom, the day: Kippur,
pardon), or Day of Atonement will be
observed on this 10th day of Tishri,
which corresponds TO the 18th day of
September in the standard calendar, by
Jews all over the world, not excepting
those in Marshalltown. Yom Kippur is
the only fast day ordained by Moses,
and was originally meant perhaps, as
temporary day of expiration for the sin
of the worship of the golden calf, yet ii
was permanently instituted by Moses as
a day Of atonement for sin in general.
The later Jews, however, instituted a
few more fast days in commemoration
of some disastrous events, especially,
which occurred at and after the time of
the destruction of the two temples, but
these additional fast days have now be-
come almost obsolete. The one ordained
by Moses is still as generally observed
as 1t was at any time in the history of
the ancient Jews, but the ceremonies
connected with the day have been con-
siderably modified.
