with the usual Wednesday and Saturday
matInees, ran for over 800 night in New
York. $50 nights in Boston, and nearly two
years in London, England. 1t is a ro-
nance of the Confederacy. 1t was written
by william Gillette, who is the author
also of the first successful play based upon
the late Civil War-sI1held by the
Enemy
h action of the piece centers about
one Louis Dumont, of the United States
Secret Service, who, under the alias OF
Captain Thorne, of the Confederate army.
is in Richmond on a most desperate de-
tail. At this time the Federal forces
were entrenched before the city, endeayor-
ing by all possible means to break down
the defenses and capture the Confederate
capitol. It was necessary that some dar-
ing men should act as spies to enter Rich
mond. and by some means secure an APP
poihtment in the Confederate telegraph
service that a false message might be
sent to the rebel troops on a certain line
of the defenses to move their position.
thus greatly weakening the defenses at
the vital point. An assault of the Federal
forces at this opening would undoubtedly
prove successful. This dangerous and deli
cate duty was entrusted to o and
Henry Dumont. brothers. two of the most
daring men In the secret service; men who
were always ready to undertake the most
hazardous enterprise and willing to throw
away their lives for their country. While
in Richmond Louis Dumont falls in low
with Edith Varney, the daughter OF a
Confederate. General, who reciprocates the
affection. Captain Thorne's identity Is
suspected by Benton Arrelsford, of the
Confederate secret service, his brother
having beep captured, was caught send
ing a message by an old negro to the
varney home, supposedly tor Captain
Thorne. The house is surrounded by
troops. and Dumont's brother. a prisoner,
under the pretext Of escaping, is allowed
to run through the parlor, Arrelsford
trusting that II Thorne was really Du-
mont he would assist his brother to
escape. The former suspects the plot at
once. He orders his brother to halt. The
latter refuses. and then follows the great
scene OF the play. In the end love triumphs
In a very pretty and effective way.

noon in Hasbrouek Institute, with the
reading of "Sohrab and Rustun," Arnold,
Miss Myers reading and explaining the
poem.
Plior to this, however. the Ramblers re-
viewed Persian history briefly and Miss
Myers gave a brief review Of the poem.
explaining such clauses and phrases as
might seem a little obscure, and making
the Ramblers thoroughly conversant with
the different characters mentioned. The
Ramblers then turned their attention to
the poem on which the greater part Of
the afternoon was spent.
AT next meeting, November s, the Ram

The n~exl.tration In Its Trae Light

The HeHtstratton In As Aree AA&AS
Inquiry regarding the decrease In regis
xration III the Third Ward shows that 1t
Is All right. The men who are not regis
tered this year are the Republicans. The
pennoeratic precinct leaders give assur.
snses THAI nlnety-eight per cent. Of the
Democratic voters Of the ward are on
the Est. One man said that Of the 7a5
decrease about roo were Republicans and
Is Democrats. Another declares that
every Democrat In at least three precincts
has his name on the rolls. It is added
that very few names have been registered
by afrldayit. More than ninety per cent
of the Democratic voters have. OF their
own accord, come to the polls to secure
their right to vote for the ticket. One
precinct leader In the Third Ward said,
10 d representative Of '.The News" last
evening. II started out Tuesday morning
with $50 ~afidaylts all ready made out. I
did nothing but tear them up all day.
The men themselves turned up. In the
end, I used just twenty-three ~affidavits,
The condition in the Third Ward is indi-
cative Of the situation all over the city,
only, perhaps. a triie more so. 1t Is
the Republicans who have not registered.
OF the 72 drop In the Ninth Ward It is
believed 80 are Republicans. OF the AGO
In the Eighth Ward, about $50 are Re-
publicans. The activity Of Robert Carey
and Ike G~oldenhorn In registering Repub-
licans by afadavit in the Seventh Ward
Is shown in the small decrease in h
registry there, only 81 names. Between
them. these two enterprising young men
swore In between $50 and 300 names. 1t IS
not believed. however, that they can poll
10 votes out of the bunch. y
Experienced politicians expressed the
opinion, last evening, that If the Repub-
lican party polled every vote which 1t has
registered In the city. and the Democratic
the Democratic party would still have a
majority of over 1900 within the city
limits. More likely the figure will reach
$500.
It II further estimated that Hoboken
will give 2,50 majority. at least. and
North Hudson 1850. Bayonne is good for
100 and the western townships 400. This
indicates a majority Of at least LEGO in
the county. a figure which win be equiva-
lent to 1900 on a full vote, such a. a
g~ubernatorial contest brings out.
We are by no means certain that these
figures are not too low. The Democratic
majority may actually reach 1900 votes
this year.
