PUBLIC BATH FOR HoBoKEH.
Family Will Complete the Work
Planned BY Mrs. Stevens.

A public bath in the heart of the tene-
ment district is being built in Hoboken
by the Stevens family, who are DESTROYS
of p-erpetuating he philantropic work
started in that town by the late mistress
of Castle Point. Before her death Mrs.
Martha B.. Stevens announced that she
had in mind a series of enterprises for
the betterment of the poor of Hoboken.
Her sudden demise prevented their prose-
cution. A building at No. 80 Madison
street, had already been purchased for
the baths by Mrs. Stevens. The family
announced that the work would go on as
usual.
Richard Stevens had architects prepare
the plans, but the work Jagged somewhat
while he was away in Europe. Since his
return, however, it has been pushed along,
the millionaire experimenting It himself
personally. The bath is expected to be
finished by October T.
The building. a three-story frame
structure will be flied up with everything
requisite for the bath. Bathing rooms
will be built on the second and third
floors. The rooms on the first floor will
be offered by the family to the use of the
senior and junior clubs Of the Settlement
House.

THEORY OF MUSIC.
Mr.. Becker Will Have an Interesting
Glass at Hasbrouck's.

The season of Hasbrouck School Of
Music opens on September Is, with an adj
vance enrolment surprisingly large. 1t
is because Mr.. Gustav L. Becker finds
that his time. limited in Jersey City, is
fast being taken in van by his pri-
vate pupils, that he wishes to call atten-
ton to the formation of his special class
in theory of music. whose work was sucn
a striking feature of his season here two
years ago. Last year Mr.. Becker return
ed to town the day before school opened,
to find his time entirely taken by private
pupils, and so was liable to make up
this class. So many applied later in the
season that he wishes this year to sug-
gest the idea to the musical public be-
forehand. Six to eight pupils can be re-
ceived in the class, and application must
be made before September 20. Until then
Nj. Becker will reserve an hours time
twice a week.
1t should be understood that this is not
the usual harmony class" but a course
specially devised by Mr.. Becker to meet
the requirements of the intelligent music
lover. The insight given into the struc-
ture Of music makes its students listen
with understanding, read at sight read
lily, and interpret music from the stand
point of melody. harmony and rhythm
All the pupils of the last class found that
they made far greater progress in their
own practical work in music, of what
ever kind. The lumber of pupils in the
class reduces the fee for each to a small
sum. Further information may be had
from Mr.. Becker at the School of Music,
on Monday and Tuesday. September IS
and 10, or by letter at any time.

The Academy of Music will have a bril-
liant attraction the week of Monday, the
25th, in THE Cuckoo" one of Charles
Frohman's latest comedy farce successes
1t comes here with the advantage OF a
great success in Paris, London and New
York to precede it. 1t ran for over two
months at Wallack's Theatre, New York,
at the tail end Of last season, and was
universally accredited one of the best
farces ever obtained from a French
source. The story is one of intrigue and
is cleverly handled by the adapter, who
has retained all the sparkle n iveliness
of the original, yet avoiding anything that
might be considered coarse and offensive.
The play viii be seen here with the
original cast. which includes such splendid
names as Joseph Holland, Amelia Bing-
ham. Eleanor Moretti, Charles Bowser,
Clayton White, Frank Lea, Short. Nora
Dunblane and Annie Wood.

ONE OF The GANG CAUGHT.
Police Are Trying to Find Columbia
Park HoodIums.

Harry Bradon. fifteen years old, of No.
18i Linden avenue, was arrested by Ser
geant Fry last night for shooting craps
in Columbia Park. He claimed that he
was simply watching the game.
It has been the custom for some time
past for a gang of boys to congregate in
the park. A game of craps is usually in
progress. The gang sometimes varies this
sport by INDUCING in the pastime of in
sulting young girls or women, who may
chance to pass. The police have been en-
deavoring to break the gang up. but have
heretofore been unsuccessful in capturing
any Of the young hoodlums.
Sergeant Fry said that one of the gan
broke an electric light globe a few nights
ago, to obtain a better light for the crap
game.

brought to q Successful Close Last
Evening.

Last night was closing night at St
Johns lawn party, and 1t was the most
successful of the three, There was ar
Immense crowd present and all the at
fractions were well patronized. The han
was well filled with dancers all night long
who seemed to enjoy themselves hugely.
The shooting contest attracted a large
crowd and several high scores were
made.
But the great event of the evening was
the tug-of-war contest arranged between
ST. Johns and st. Michaels. A large
delegation from ST. Michael's arrived
about ten o'clock. Every mar had a tin
horn and when the party neared the
grounds they raised a din that woke the
neighborhood. They were greeted with
cheers and soon made at home, and
showed how they could spend their money
to the best advantage. When the teams
lined up for the tug-of-war and the big
fellows from ST. Michae1s showed their
Drawn and muscle the heart of st. Johns
supporters got a spasm. There did not
seem to be any chance whatever to get
away with the opposing team. However,
st. Johns men gritted their teeth and got
down to business. When the whistle blew
both teams went down ven but at the
call of time st. Johns was declared the
winner Of the first heat. The second heat
resulted in st. Michael's favor and the
crowd went wild when the tie was an
nounced. The third heat resulted in
somewhat of a fuke. When the whistle
blew st. Johns went down as one man
and their opponents lost control of the
rope with the result that the clothes line
disappeared from their view entirely.
While the decision was given to st. Johns
the boys thought it was only fair to have
a genuine tug, so the third heat was
thrown out and one more trial had. This
time the two teams went in for blood and
every man was straining at the rope
until the whistle blew, when every
man dropped like a machine. The ribbon
touched the stake and then commenced
the tug. The rooters on either side made
the windows rattle, while the principals
pulled and pulled. At last the ribbon
commenced to move st. Johns a and
from start to the call of time it never
went back. st. Michael's men strained
as only good men can, but to no avail
st. Johns won out and cheer after cheer
went up for both victor and vanquished.
Father Ter Woert was an interested
spectator and was among the hartiest
attractions of the hill.
The affair was a grand success both
financially n socially and it is safe to
say that st. Johns's lawn parties will
hereafter be ranked among the summer
attractions of the hill.

OF course these sentences fail to ex-

I winning whatever. Even If the Derhoc-
racy were in bad shape+instead of stron-

party is 50 utterly disrupted as to be in
capable even of putting up a fight. The
recent performances at the meeting OF
the Bergen Republican Club disclose the
true state of feeling in the organization.
The McEwanfte faction is likely to be
more embittered than ever by the new
coalition between Dickinson and Toffey'
and Colonel Toffey brings absolutely no
strength to the machine beyond his own
vote and his own contribution, whatever
it may be. The Republican party played
it's trump card three years ago, when it
ran Mr.. Baldwin for Sheriff. If n Re

was the man. His defeat was monument

The Justice Gives an Am
using Account Of Police
Proceedings.

The Headquarters reported failed to
make his appearance in the First Crimi-

The Justice began by relating the case

of No. $50 Sixth street, who had been
arrested by Policeman Hawkins of the
Gregory street police station on a charge
Of malicious mischief. This is lat the
Court said
Well, West is one of those fresh young
men who thinks he owns the town as we'll

man got drunk. He went into Steup's

bottle of whiskey that was being used
by one of the customers and proceeded to

and the fresh young man was thrown out.
| When he reached the sidewalk he dis
covered the the fact that he did not hke
a sign that was in front of the place,
and neither did he like the man who
threw him out. The two disIikes then
met and the fresh young man picked up
the sign and attempted to hit the man
who threw him out. The sign missed
