WHITTIER fLOCUT|ON
Glass Closed It's Season
With an Interpretation
Of Shakespeare.

Nearly all the classes Of Whittier
House Settlement nave now closed for the
season, and it has been a busy fortnight
for Miss Bradford and her co-workers in
consequence. 1t has been the custom in
Whittier House for each class before re-
firing for the summers rest to give an
exhibition of its skill in whatever line
it has been studying throughout the win
ter. Last night the elocution class, un-
der the direction of Miss Beatrice
Wheeler, Of Montclair. had its turn and
all the members acquitted themselves
with exceptional credit
Several scenes from "As You Like 1t"
were given with an Interpretation of
Shakespeare which would do credit to
many a professional, and still acted with
that charming simplicity and naturalness
of childhood. One of the girls who was
especially good was Miss Eva Brown,
who interpreted the jester, in cap, bells
and boomers, and called forth any
amount of applause. Celia was por-
trayed by Miss Elizabeth Albers in a
way to bring out all there was in the
character, while Miss Frances McDevitt,
as Rosalind, made a charming Shepherd.
William was portrayed by Mr.. Charles
hermann ana MISS Anna MCDeFfnOll
played Rosalind's cousin.
Romeo ct Juliet was also portrayed
minus the Romeo. Miss Margaret Muir
ply played Juliet, and it was doubtless
Shakespeare's. while the nurse was por-
trayed by Miss Jennie Albers.
Besides these there were a number of
recitations given with the same simple
n~aturalness which characterized the
plays. earl King" was recifed by Miss
Jennie Green; The Charcoal Man. by
Miss Irene Gamitte; ''Orphan Annie,'' by
Miss Sadie Gormley; 1.-THE Oyster Man.
by Miss Irene Mcfarland, and 1.-The
Sioux Chiefs Daughter by Miss Eliza
beth Albers.
Miss Wheeler had prepared a surprise
for the members of her class, and each
one as she left the stage received flowers,
while on the other hand the class had
planned the same surprise for Miss
Wheeler, and she also receivd a hand
some bouquet in onsequen Dancing
ollowed the programme.
Among the hundred odd guests present
were Mr.. Hill of the New York Baptist
Settlement, Mr.. Galway of Chicago, and
Miss Caldwell of New York, who took
Inner at Whittier House.
On Friday evening, May 10, the girls of
Corneiia Club will also close their season
with a play, which is being coached by
Miss Wheeler, which promises to be OF
exceptional excellence.

Keep Down the Gangs.

Every day or two there turns up in
man set upon by toughs in the streets OF
public places of Jersey City, beaten and
robbed and perhaps left for dead This
mornings case is narrated in another col
umn. 1t is that of Hall of Scranton, who
had the peculiar notion that he would
like to do Jersey City before bracing New
York. Instead, Jersey City, represented
by the Red Tiger Gang. did him. In this
case two arrests are made, but as the
evidence is ~inconclusive, probably no one
will be punished, and Hall will remain
out his watch and $40 as a result of his
quest after the unusual.
The matter is of great public impor-
lance from one point of view. The FREE
uuency of such cases suggests that the
gangs are once again beginning to get
the upperhand of the police. Some ten
years ago, 1t was dangerous for a re-
spectacle citizen to appear in certain
parts of Jersey City, after dark. Then
the police declared war on the rowdies,
and in a few months the gang leaders
were languishing in dungeons and their
followers had taken to working for a
livelihood. 1t is to be hoped that recent
events do not indicate a relapse into
pristine conditions.
Chief Murphy ought to shake up his
force. The gang season is approaching.
The ummer weather, when a gentleman
can spend the night outdoors with sat
isfaction, If GROWER money can be col
Ieeted from passers-by, is at hand. No
doubt. if the knights of the blackjack and
the can are not discouraged from the
outset, we shall have a nice crop of out
RACES for the papers to write up. There
should be no mercy for loafers and thugs.
The club and the cell, the cell and the
club, should be administered vigorously,
enthusiastically, every night and all
night. The police justices should stand
behind the police and help them in this
war.
Now, Chief, it is up to you to start the
fight. Let us have a vigorous one.

GREAT FoREPAueH-SE SELLS CIRCUS.
Splendid Consolidation ofVariegated
Attraction Coming Saturday.

The famous Adam F~orepaugh-Sells
Brothers circus consolidation, with all
it's vast and v~ariegated arenic, geologic
and hippodromatic attractions, will hold
high revel in this city on Saturday. The
show will be presented here in the same
elaborate style that characterized its re-
cent exploitation in New York, Brooklyn
and Philadelphia.
The great combine comes here intact.
Every feat and feature as seen at Madi-
son Square Garden will be shown in this
city. The stupendous character of the en-
terprise is made manifest by the fact tina
it requires seventy-four cars of extra
length-built especially for Forepaugh and
Sells by the Pennsylvania Railroad Conn
pany-to transfer the show property. The
four largest locomotives ever turned out
of the Baldwin factory, Philadelphia, are
employed as motive power. One-third
more ground is required for the tents
than is used by the Barnum-Bailey show.
The leading papers of New York, Brook
Ign and Philadelphia are enthusiastic in
their praise of its novel, numerous and re-
markable features. The Philadelphia
'Press," in the course of a long and
elaborate reviewing notice, said
Fifteen thousand people cheered as
they never did before at the F%orepaugh-
Sells show last night. The great white
amphitheatre was packed to suffocation,
and still a crowd besieged the ticket
wagon, which the police ordered closed
at a quarter of eight, SO fearful were they
that a panic might occur. The SURPRISING
merit of the great combine was fully
known here, and all Philadelphia was
anxious to pay homage to a management
that has created such a stir f%hroughou
the country. Those who were fortunate
enough to gain admitance were abundant
ly rewarded. Blase showgoers were dumb
founded to find that it is still possible
to present entirely new nj thrilling Cir
Gus acts. The three rings and huge stage
blazed with marvellous and perilouS feats
during the circus proper. and the races
and revels of ancient Rome wrought the
people up to a delirium of excitement.

scored an un~mistakable triumph here.

Let Monett Mind His Own Bushes

Mr.. Attorney General Monet of Ohio
had better be a little careful of the man
ner in which he casts slurs on the great
and only Samuel II. Grey, Attorney Cen
eral of his sovereign Commonwealth. In
an interview with a Washington reporter,
yesterday, Mr.. Monet plainly intimated
that Mr.. Grey was responsible for the
alleged New Jersey trusts, which are
causing some people anguish of mind
Just now. Mr.. Monet said that if Mr..
Grey wanted to he could put a stop to
these big concerns being incorporated in
this State. There, unfortunately, the in
terview ends, and it is a great pity that
Mr.. Monett did not go on and point out
just how Mr.. Grey could accomplish his
diabolical purpose, if he should happen
to want to.
New Jersey an her alleged trusts APP

If the Wild West objects to the present
status of the trusts, let its people stop

can get an antitrust tariff. Nothing can
be more grotesque than the spectacle OF
a protectionist section bowling against
monopoly.
