mai notice on the President, who as
usual, is divided in sentiment, that he
has no notion of giving way.
Persons interested in New Jersey poll
tics will watch the developments with in
terest. 1t is only as a State matter that
the scrap is important. AS between Ho-
bart and Griggs for Vice President, it is
tweedledum and tweedledee. But there Is
some prospect of noteworthy results in
the domain Of State affairs. for a quarrel
between Griggs and Hobart would nat
urally mean the disruption Of the Pater-
son clique, and the consequent re-estab-
lishment of General SewelI as sole head
of his party in the State.
The spectacle of Griggs elbowing his pa
tron and promoter out of his honors and
emoluments in order to grab them him
self is not exactly an edifying one. With
his mediocre abilities. Griggs would never
have emerged from the average crowd
had it not beer for Hobart's protection
and assistance. 1t will be quite a mem
orable as well as a characteristic event If
the follower turns upon the leader and
publicly turns him down n loots him.

Unusual activity is characterizing all

making diligent inquiries concerning the
evening classes. The indications are that

preparations are also being made TO open

Professor Thomas G.. Adams, the popu-
lar and efficient director of the Y. IA. g.

in the gymnasium on the first OF October.
Professor Adams has scarcely a superior

organizer, and last year all his teams took

1t has been determined by the Young
Mems Christian Association to greatly in
crease the work along religious lines the
coming fall and winter months. Having
this in view the efforts will be specially
directed towards a larger and more sys-
tematic study of the Bible. Plans are
being matured for holding Sunday after
noon meeting in both the up town and the
down town sections of the city. Last year
the Jersey City Association ranked very
high in Bible study, only one or two as
in New Jersey having a better
record. This year it is proposed TO stand
number one.
The Young Mems Christian Association
makes a special appeal for funds in up
port of the work. Probably not in the
history of the organization has II been
more worthy of support than at the
present time. The work has been en-
larged in all directions, requiring a larger
expenditure of money. More men are be-
ing reached at the present time than has
been the case in many ears. Checks may
be made payable to the order of William
r. Cole, treasurer, and can be sent direct
" to the association rooms, Crescent and
Harrison venues A prompt acknowledge
will be made.

at both performances, yesterday after
noon and evening. The attraction Is
Lillian Washburn's Indian Maidens. The
show opens with a burleshque entitled
ty women attired in the costume of In
dian maidens. They go through the
dances of the Indians. Another feature OF
the burlesque is the Indian love song in
the Mohawk language, which Is sung by
Miss Washburn. The scenery used in both
the opening and closing bu~rlesques is very
elaborate and taken with the handsome
costumes worn by the ladies In the com

The La Mar Sisters, a pair of clever
singers and dancers, open the olfo part OF
the programme.
Nolan n White, in a comedy sketch,
entitled "A Tramp's History, created a

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE Cuckoov at the Academy Of
Musio.

s'The Cuckoo" a comedy farce in three
acts, was introduced at the Academy OF
Music last night and its reception was a
fiattering one. for the audlence iaughed
heartily at the tumble of situations and
clever effects in this lively French play.
The scene is laid in London, where an
elderly but gay corn broker and his win
some consort have each an amor0uS adj
venture, gang their ain gait, and wind up
with the man of course in the lurch.
Adding to the humor is the appearance OF
a tdusky African kind, whose sole wish Is
to honor every one on most inconyenient
occasions with a view of his tattoo marks.
The entendre changed a little, the play
would be extremely clever, as 1t is an adj
mirable specimen of the light French
school. In the principal character OF Mrs.
Penfold, Miss Amelia Bingham easily cap
tured her audience by the varied in
-genuousness, and, if thest term can be used,
was highly artistic. SO, too, was the role
Of the uniucky husband. In Clayton
Whyte's hands it was comic to a degree.

sides all this. palms and ferns lend en-
chantment to the scene, and during the
first days OF the opening orchestral music
charmed the ear.
The millinery department Is perhaps the
most attractive feature at this season, to
the feminine eye, and nc wonder. There
are any number of beautiful creations,
both imported and domestic, from which
to choose. Black velvet, chamois faced,
trimmed with piumes of both the ostrich
aud chiffon, appear to be a favorite of
the season, and Furst Bros. have some
Of the handsomest designs TO be found.
Gray is also a favorite color and here
are to be found many creations In felts,
cloths and yeivets. There are also hats

very popular.

What is
Cream ofTartar?

When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making ferments, the acid Of
the fruit is crystallized and precipitated. This
is collected, refined to absolute purity, and
ground to a powder. This is cream Of tartar.
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents Of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. In grape cream OF tartar
there are combined the most useful Of leaven-
ing agencies and a most healthful food article.s
This highly refined acid Of the grape, or
cream of tartar, is the material from which
Royal Baking Powder is made. It is many
times more expensive than ingredients used in
many baking powders, but being healthful in
itself. it adds healthfulness to the food instead
Of degrading it.
In imitation baking powders poisonous alum
is used instead of heathfI cream Of tartar

we would have printed, without cayii. his
announcement that he would be a and

But there were three features in Mr..

their results. IA take some course, not
precisely defined. hut certainly hostile. to

This. we think. is unworthy of Mr.

in limiting the publicity Of a hasty utter
snce to Republican circles.
