rage. Luks, formerly Of Reading, Pa,
had once lived in vineland, where ne was
prominent in society. Being a member
of the Friends Church. Miss Moore re-
fused to go to any of the clergymen here.
They then resorted to a civil officer-
Mayor Lord refused to marry them be-
cause they were non-residents of the State
and mad no marriage license The pros
pective bride was a young woman. rather
short and slightly inclined to embon-
point. She was very refined and richly
dressed and looked as disappointed as her
lover upon learning Of the legal impossi-
bility of their marriage in this State yes
terday.
miss Moore, who was recognized by a
guest of the hotel here, has excellent
family connections In Philadelphia, whers
her father resides, but she has lately been
living with her grandmother at Port Ken
nedy. Luks, who was warmly greeted
and ~sympathized with by his society
friends here. assured them that if it was
impossible to get wedded in Vineiand. he
would 90 where he could be married. He
is a son of Mr.. E. C. Luks and a brother
of G. d. Luks, the c~artoonist, Of New

Nothing funnier than "On and on the
comedy that is being presented at the
Academy Of Music this week, has ever
been seen In Jersey City. 1t is one huge
laugh from start to finish. but 1t does not
depend for its laugh upon horse play or
vulgar scenes. 1t is an entirely clean
comedy and extremely bright The pusi-
ness it is doing at the Academy this week
certainly must be very encouraging to
an concerned. Splendid audiences have
been in attendance at every performance.
When 1t was announced that Mr. Froh-
man was to take possession OF the
Academy of Music and to practically
make it a new theatre and to give us
only the very best attractions, there was
a number of people who seemed to think
he was making a mistake, but he evi-
IDENTIFY felt that the theatre going public
of Jersey City would appreciate his ef-
forts to give them an opportunity to see
the very finest attractions without having
to go to New York.
e Business has steadily increased since
the opening and at every performance
splendid audiences are seen.
Popular Andrew Mack comes to the
Academy of Music next Monday night, to
present for the first time in this city his
new and brilliantly successful play. THE
Last of the Rohans," which was written
expressly for him by Ramsay Morris,
author of IAN Irish Gentleman and in
which Mr.. Mack has made the most
striking success Of his stage career. A
heavy advance sale indicates that there
will be a big audience on hand to greet
the star, than whom nc more popular
player visits this city. The stage pictures
in the new play will be of SURPRISING
beauty. In fact the entire production will
be in every respect an exact duplicate Of
that given at the Academy of Music, New
York, to six weeks of crowded audiences.
Andrew Mack has delighted local play
goers with his "Myles Aroon." AN Irish
Gentleman and 1.-The Ragged Earl" but
his Clifford Rohan, In The Last of the
Rohans," is said by the critics to be by
all odds the most entertaining character
he has yet introduced to the public. His
supporting company will be excellent. In
1t are such capable players as George w.
Deyo, B. T. Ringgold. edwin Brandt, w.
j. Mason, Ernest Warde, Jas. Vincent,
Thos. Jackson, Josephine Lovett, Mrs.
Samuel Charles, Jennie Satterlee and
Georgia Florence dip. In addition there
is a large chorus, representing monks,
peasants and beggars.

The Democratic primaries. last evening"
were as free as the air and as busy as
beehives. They were all openly held IN
bubble places previously announced. Iney
were attended by a great number OF
roters. many Of whom stood around ana
svatched the proceedings after they had
rast their own ballots. The ballots con-
tanned ali the names in whose interest
nominating petitions had been fieo.
voters freely scratched of such as they
dia not favor and voted the rest. Mr..
Eeller mad just as good a show as MI.
Rnempler. and, no doubt. in his own Sec
ton Of the county, he made a good show
ing.
we believe the ticket which has been
generally talked OF. h last month or &c.
received a great majority of the votes
This was to b expected. 1t represented
the popular choice. which has been crys-
fallizing all summer. It had the endorse
ment of many Democratic organizations.
md it is understood the party leaders
approved it. 1t would be odd. under the
circumstances IL it did not receive ninety
per cent. of the votes cast.
This ticket will be elected. There is no
noubt about it. 1t is a far better ticket
Shan the Republican one. Office for office,
II presents a better list of candidates.
Besides, the men are. personally. more
popular, and the Democratic party has a
natural supremacy in this county.
But we are not to be satisfied with
merely winning the day. In order to vim
aicate cur recent triumphs, we must poll
the same great majority in the teeth of
Mr.. McLean's Grand Jury. Thus will we
hurl back Republican ISLANDERS upon the
party and upon Hudson county, and crush
The libellers. Let every Democrat see that
he is registered n go TO the polls and
vote.

There is said to be much bitterness

Department over the recent appointment
Of a son of General sewell to the place

fion of Captain A.. G. Curtain Quay, a son
of senator Matthew Stanley Quay. of

poIntment of young Sewell on two
grounds. In the first place they question
the advisabiHty Of setting apart such i'm
portant places for young men whose
chief-and in this case disqualification
Tor the position Is that they are the sons
OF United States Senators who are friends
OF the Administration Such favoritism,
the officers say. is most demoralizing to

not see the point OF working hard for ten
OF twelve years, only to be set aside for

Another objection made to young

either by training or experience. He was

England upon Chinese territory with the
fear that If something was not done IN
the near future to prevent such a catas-

a moment that ever the deluded handful

believe for a moment that the great voor-
hees investigating committee Of a few

Nay, nayl The gentlemen who COM
posed that committee we're too wild
awake and keen to the advantages which
such a discovery would bring to the par
ty to have overlooked the prison. In fact,
they did turn their attention to the State
Prison. and found the place SO devoid OF
scandal that they did not investigate 1t
publicly.
In fact. the press nan cannot con-
zeal the true nature Of his comment,
even In the dtsordered mind which many
believe he possesses. It's falsity and
malignity are too plain to n one ac-

Democratic administration of the State

Republican rule. The people know It and
all the falsehood and Misrepresentation
of the Republican press cannot rob them
of that knowledge.

the club for approval.
