The Proposed ni-Partisan Boards.

1t is perhaps impossible to think OF a
worse scheme of appointing Police and
Fire Commissioners than that which the
Republican party, through its majority
in the Legislature, proposes to infict on
Jersey City. The scheme is to have the
County Committees of the two parties
select two men each, whom the Mayor
is Obliged to commission. The argument
used in support of it is that it secures
non-partisanship in the control of the
forces.
Whether there is any small merit in
non-partisanship of this sort, it is as
suredly not great enough to overbalance
the certain evils of the system. In the
first place, Commissioners appointed in
this way are absolutely irresponsible ex-
cept to the party machines. They owe
nothing to the people, for the people have
no part. direct or indirect, in their selec-
ton. They are not responsible to the
Mayor, for he is obliged to appoint them,
when their several parties name them.
Thus holding office with obligations
pnly to the party machine, they simply
divide up the rank and file of the force
into ever parts and make appointments,
regardless of fitness, at the behest of the
two machines. h higher offices are
filled by deals and dickers, and when
these cannot be made the city is treated
to a deadlock.
The people cannot even obtain its rights
by furnishing one or the other party, for,
no matter how a the administration,
both parties are equally responsible, and
q change of party in the Mayoralty or
in other parts of the city government
leaves the control OF these boards abso-
lutely unchanged.
If the ingenuity of man We're directed
to the invention of a scheme of inten-
tiona1 m-isgovernment, corruption and
abuse, it could not surpass this outrage
Gus proposition. It is a product of abb
Eolute moral insanity.

uted among the laity, regardless OF sen
age or mental and moral stamina, n in
this way it beeomes-we think all decent
men. regardless of creed, will agree with
us-a germ of disease more appalling
than the cholera bacillus or the microbe
of yellow fever.
The vile suggestions which it contains
could be nothing but depraving to the
mind of youth. 1t suggests evil that, we
hope, the average of our young people
never even know of. 1t is a shame n
an abomination. 1t is a fit work for An
thony Comstock to suppress. If the gen
tleman who talked of using a horsewhip
on those responsible for its circulation
had acted instead of spoken, he would
deserve the thanks of the community.

A ship which Lost Its IA.

Sergeant Channel, who was in the habit
of dropping his his, and Sir Frederick
Thesiger were once trying a case about a
ship called the Helen. Every time the
former mentioned the vessel he called it
the Ellen. Every time the other counsel
mentioned her they called her the HELEN.
At last the judge, with a quaint gravity,
said: ..Stopl' "a favorite word of his.9

OF Music

Manager Henderson of the Academy OF
Music is to be congratulated for his wise
selection of an attraction that is bound
to please the th-eatre-goers. It is a ro-
mantle play, entitled Under Sealed Or
ders," and this from the pen of the
dramatist, James w. Harkins, Jr., the au-
thor of this and several other successful
plays. The principal scenes of this new
play are laid in remote and romantic
Algeria, a fact which affords excellent OPP
portunities for startling dramatic effects
and scenic establishment. The stage pic
lures, including scenery, costumes il
lights, are said to be yeritable dreams of
beauty. A fair sized fortune is repre-
sented in the outlay. The scenes of this
play alternate between London and Al
geria. A group of decidedly new and in
teresting characters help to work out an
idea that is a decided innovation of the
stage. The story is strictly an original
one. It is a tale of romance, love and
adventure, with a keen dash of humor,
and a completely of dramatic and anus
ing situations.
The central figure of the. play, Andre
Samson, a French criminal, is one of the
most remarkable stage creations. ever
conceived by the brain of a dramatist.
He is an intellectual monster, that both
faseinates and repels. He is a psycholo-
gical study in modern degeneracy. Around
the strange character revolves a group of
interesting characters that breathe a
wholesome spirit of purity, heroism and
ability. Every line of the play is as pure
and spotless as a martyrs robe. The
spirit of sublime -heroism permeates the
whole play. 1t is a pure and simple ro-
nance that thrills the senses, ~elevates the
mind and gives ordinary mortals a tram
STORY glimpse of the ideal. The character
of Julie, a wild rose of the desert, pos
sesses a loving tenderness that will appeal
to every man, woman or child. 1t is
played by Miss Nadine Winstan, with
delicate grace that charms the heat. That
clever, romantic actor, Maurice Freeman,
assumes the leading role and invests it
with a powerful personality, and a strain
of cynical humor hat is positively re-
freshing. The entire cast is one of more
fnan ordinary merit and includes such
well known artists as Raymond Whit
taker, Edwin Nalod, Louis Bresn, Frank
Oppernan, Louis Lytton, George Conner,
Ben. Harris. Joseph Damery, David Levy,
Eugene Wilson. and Miss Nadine Winstan,
Miss Grace Gibbons, Miss Alice Endres
and Miss Lily Frank. Over fifty people
will participate in this production.

A Moral Disease Propagation.

Today. the real trouble in the Church
mont avenues, this city, is revealed for
the first time. 1t is embodied in a little
pamphlet on the confessional, which has
excited the just indignation of every per-
son into whose hands it has fallen. h
entire work is written in a strain of ex-
aggerated, rhapsodical fervor, more cal
culated to develop hysteria than m ra-
tional sentiment in the minds of women
and young persons.
But the main objection is a far more
serious one than this. 1t is found in the
chapter on the Seventh Commandment,
and the matter is so delicate that 1T is
outside the pale of newspaper discussion,
except in the most general terms. The
questions formulated in the work are
precisely the same that are to be found
III the works Of Dens, Liguori and other
scholastic writer's on the Confessional in
the Roman Catholic Church. The differ
ence is that in the Catholic books the
matter is in Latin: the books are prac-
tically unprocurable except by priests,
and the questions are designed merely
for their professional guidance, to be ap-
piled in practice with endless restrictions
and reservations. such as morality and
propriety and good judgment suggest. In
other words, scholastic works on the
Confessional bear the same relation to
the clerical calling that works on medi-
cine do 70 the medical professional. They
are unfit for laymen. They are withheld
from laymen. Their teachings are used
for the good of Iaynen, with all the
conservatism that professional training
and professional honor can create. On
the contrary, the hideous little work Of
the Rev. Mr.. Mortimer is intended to be
distributed. and, ii is alleged, is distrib-

No disease that attacks the human body is 50 universal as
rheumatism.
Almost every one is liable to suffer from II, in some form or
other.
Exhaustion of nerve force is the underlying cause.
The immediate cause is the presence Of certain morbid
waste material in the blood and tissues.
Rheumatism occurs in several forms; there is acute rheu-
matism, or rheumatic fever; there is what is termed sub-acute
rheumatism. There is chronic, muscular, inaammatory, de-
forming rheumatism, and there is rheumatic gout.
Over-work or whatever induces an undue exhaustion OF
nerve force. will aggravate the disease or hasten its appear
The aches that accompany the disease in its incipient
stages, are often, for a time, attributed to other less serious
causes.
The cure for SO deep-seated a trouble never can be an
ignorant preparation that will only dull the pain or give tenn
porary relief There are a thousand and one so-called medl
cines for rheumatism that not only never affect a cure, but
unfortunately are often the means Of discouraging people
who use them.
Paines celery compound is as little related to these worth
less preparations as an honest gold coin is to a clumsy counter
ell.
Paines Celery Compound is a specific for the cure OF rheu-
matsm in any Of its forms.
The first "friendly an"-friendly, because it gives early
notice before serious mischief has occurred, should send you at
once to the druggists for a bottle of this remedy. It will cure
your rheumatism. 1t will SO cleanse, invigorate and rejuvenate
the blood that every organ OF the body will share Immediately
in the healthier condition. 1t will build up and make you
strong. It's peculiar ability to increase the amount Of blood and
stimulate the action Of the liver and kidneys has made it the
regular prescription of the best physicians.
Thousands of people have been cured of rheumatism by
Paines celery compound.
Mrs. H. C. Danolds, OF Rochester, n. Y, writes:
"Last season | had a severe attack of muscular rheuma-
tism. AT first / used a good deal of liniment, but in spite OF it
the rheumatism increased. l then began using Paines celery
compound, and the second bottle cured me completely. j
recommend Paines celery compound most heartily as an
invaluable remedy to all who are afflicted"
Other people-scores of them in every town of any size in
the country, have written similar letters, appreciative and CRATE
I'll, to the proprietors of this wonderful remedy-the best OF all
blood purifiers and nerve restorers, the discovery of Dartmouths
greatest professor.
Whoever has used it has recommended it to others.
And that is the reason that the demand for Paines celery
compound is greater today than for any other remedy in the
world.
