four years sine this play has bean pre-

Who will doubt the wonderful efficacy
of Paine Celery Compound in the face
of the following endorsement from the
Bishop of the diocese of Burlington?
WELLS, RICHARDSON & CO.,
GENTLEMEN:-I have been asked why
I recommend Paine's celery compound,
and I desire to put on record frankly my
reasons for this endorsement, hoping that
my words may inspire those readers who
need health and strength, with faith to
try Paine's celery compound and prove to
themselves its worth.
At the Fanny Allen Hospital, an insti-
tuition in which 1 am deeply interested,
Paine's celery compound has been used
successfully.
The Sisters of Mercy at Mount st.
Maryss Academy onMansfield avenue, rely
upon Paine's celery compound as a tonic
and strength giver.
In my own household, one of the do
mestics has taken Paine's celery COM
pound for liver trouble of long-standiug,
and says, 1T has done more good than
any other medicine"

Second Battery, N. g., N. Y, who will
handle the Gatling guns which were used

"Baby," The little white Spanish horse

the night attack on the American forces
in the San Juan trenches on July 2, and
which was captured and presented to
Capt. Stafford the = Surgeon of the
Seventy-first, will be seen in the charge,
carrying the bullet-riddled saddle which
was used by his Spanish master on that
occasion. Billy-be-dam, the goat, captured
by the Seventy-first men in Long Island

whole Cuban Campaign, is also to be on
exhibition in the armory on the nights of
the sham fight, as well also Lance, the

The aTribuns's'' Trials.

The proceedings of the trial itself DO
not give the .Tribune" altogether UNI
mixed pleasure this morning. 1t speaks
or the proceedings as characteristic OF
the rule or ruin policy adopted by a
small CLIQUE in the Republican County
Committee. 1t says that rare discrimi-
nation, was shown in the choice of Lam
drine as q scapegoat, a rernark which we
take to be sarcastically meant, and 1t pro-
rounces the proceedings of the trial
farcical, and it draws the inference that
the Committee had predetermined to DIS
miss Mouncey.
Ali of these views of the proceedings
are entirely true. But they are not the
only encouragement a the Tribune
has to face. The Fremont Club. the lead
inc Republican organization in the north
west section of the city. met last nignt
ana Jumped on the reorganization idea
With both feet. A number of speeches
f.sere made. and they seemed to be all on
one Key. that the present party leaders
wefe gentlemen and patriots, and that
their management of the party was all the
party had a right to expect. This is quite
true also.
The only ray OF light on the reorgan'-
z~ationist horizon yesterday was the meet
inx Of the McEwanites, and even they
seemed to be lukewarm. Their declara-
tion was that the need for reorganization
would be- obviated If Mr.. e. W. Woolley
would get out. This is strange Can =
IL that Hon. Tom and Hon. Sam have
buried the hatchet?

Captain Graham ON Show.

There was one very instructive feature
1t the a.trial" of John Mouncey yesterday
BY the Appeals Committee of the Repub-
hcan County Committee, On charges OF
~disloyalty. Captain Jack Graham
clanored at the door of the room where
the. sstriar, was held. He wanted to get
in to "testify' against Mouncey. His
shouts became so boisterous, after a
while, that the transom had to be closed
to keep out the noise.
Captain Jack" Graham is the man
whom the Republican Police Commission
ers recently selected to be doorman of the
First Precinct station House.

hon Ton Theatre.

A revelation of comedy. burlesqae and
| vaudeville briefly describes the pro-
| gramme of .City Sports Burlesquers'
which comes to Bon Ton Theatre Tor a
week commencing Monday, May s. On
| the programme are said to be two de-
| cidedly lively and exhilarating b%urlesques
| under the title of 'Maloney's Visit and
1.-THE Troubles of a King" both properly
staged and correctly interpreted by a
large and competent company of enter
tainers. Many new and original creations
are said to be introduced throughout the
| action of the burlettas, which are fairly
| ablaze with comedy, tuneful music, liber-
ally interspersed by clever humorists and
| pretty choristers. The action is rapid, the
dialogue peppery. The olio which inter
venes includes Miss Ruth Beecher, niece
of the late Henry Ward Beecher, who
| sings herself into popularity. She is the
| possessor of a sweet soprano voice, and
as she transcends the scale the notes ring
out as clear as a bell. A. c. Lawrence,
the extremely funny monologuist, who
has a way of doing things that is all his
own. It is not what he does but the
clever way he does it that wins the au-
dience. Alice Leslie, clever, vivacious,
descriptive vocalist. The latest European
novelty, The Monte Tyro Troupe of -Four,
pantomimists. Scanlon and Stevens, IN a
comedy sketch of utmost grace and art
istic merit, is also introduced, entitled,
"Pastimes Among the Flowers" arrang-
ed by Arthur Tflippi, assisted by Crissie
Sheridan, and executed by twelve young
ladies. The productions are handsomely
staged, the costuning being beautiful
throughout and of a bewildering variety,
while the scenic features are gorgeous
and the electrical transformation ana bal
let's a revelation. The music, of course, is
light and ~tuneful, and studded with mel
odies hat possess the element of popu-
larity, while the chorus is well traned

wreoking the National Guard Too

The ssreorganization'' of the states
forces by Governor voorhees, Commission
of Generals appears to be productive Oh
nothing but scandals. We have already
discussed exhaustively the outrageous
mntilation of the Naval Reserve. we at
fributed it to the Indifference or even
jealousy with which the soldiers regard
ed the maritime force, and the ignorance
of iandsmen regarding naval organization.
But It appears the work of the Commits
sion upon the National Guard is no less
offensive.
The Newark soldiers are highly indig-
nant at the manner in which their regi-
ment. the. First. has been handled, and
they are not slow to make direct charges
as to the motives which dictated the dis
bandment of Companies NJ. A. G and <.
Open resistance to the ~disbandment is
freely spoken of, and an appeal to the
courts may be made. Speaking of what
viii then happen, one National Guard
officer is quoted as saying
sAnd If 1t ever does get into the courts
the men Will endeavor to prove that there
was a direct animus against the First
Regiment" said a former member OF the
National Guard. who is a practicing laW-
yer. That appears to be the case Wnen
fou realize that Company L, the very
,ess company In the Fourth Regiment, is

neft for the action of its captain, A. II.

cit matters not what reasons may pc
advanced by Governor Voorhees,, Generals
SeWeli. Spencer or Wanser for mutiiatlns
the best regiment in the State. the people
Will always cling to the idea that there
was something in the way of punishment
in it. and that, if the commission was
aiming, as is claimed, at the betterment
of the Guard, they shot wide OF the
mark"
we doubt whether any appeal to the
courts will be awaiting. Judges will
naturally hesitate to interfere in purely
military matters. But if they do not, the
results of the changes just made are
pretty sure to be disastrous to the dis
cipline and enthusiasm Of the Guard.
Officers and men feel alike that they are
being treated as somebody's football, and
the inclination of a very number of them
Is TO retire at once from the service.

ARCTIC PERFORMERS.
Forepaugh-Se1ls Circus to Introduce
a Startling New Feature.

Many times has the maxim, There is
nothing new under the SUM- been SUBJ
mitted to a crucial cross-examination and
found sadly defective, but in no instance
more completely nor surprisingly than in
the high-class education of a school Of
seals and sea lions, which were captured
in the Arctic waters by Capt. Woodward
a few years ago.
Have you ever inspected a seal at close
range? Did you ever look into the great
blue, velvety eye of the strange Arctic
afnphibia and feel that you We're in the
presence of a really intelligent animal,
whose capability for understanding man,
in at least this one instance, eclipses any
thing known since the eye of Adam first
scanned the infant world? If not, there
is still that pleasure in store for you.
With only fiippers to supply the place of
hands and feet they accomplish the most
intelligent, strange and ludicrous tricks
imaginable. They sing songs of the sea,
play upon musical instruments, pitch and
catch and ape the contrary fool to per-
lection. The. performance almost sur
passes belief, but that they do SO is in
co~ntrovertibly attested by the entire press
of New York city, in which city they
drew big and delighted crowd through
out the entire engagement of the Conn
bined Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers' Circuses at Madison Square Garden
at the beginning of the present season.
They will be in this city on May 20.
The fact that great, large bills already
announce the coming to this place of the
Forepaugh-Sells shows is especially pleas
ing to all, since it will afford an oppor-
tunity for the people of this community
to witness the wonderful seals perform
ance and the numerous other features
which nave created such a furore this
season.

AS the wagon pulled up to headquarters
Police Surgeon Nevin entered. He asked
Roundsman Ramsey, who was at the
desk. what the trouble was and was in
formed OF the predicament of Mrs. Gu
guski and her little ones. The physician
went down in his pocket and gave Mrs.
Guguski financial aid. He then went to
the Organized Aid Society and asked that
the family be given shelter for the night.
As all accommodations were taken the
physician's request was refused. He was
informed that the society would care for
the family tonight.
DR.. Nevin then t~elephoned to Taylor's
Hotel and secured a room for the dis
tressed family. He also gave orders to
give them all they could eat. A police
Officer accompanied the family to the
