NO STRIKE IN HoBoKEN.
Only Three Carpenters Have Stop
ned Work--Piumbers Prosperous.

The report that a big strike is under
way in Hoboken among employees in the
building trades is denied by contractors
in general. A few carpenters and other
tradesmen, they say, are dissatisfied with
their present employers and mean to quit.
So far only three carpenters have struck
in the entire town.
Plumbing contractors say there is no
fear of their men striking, as they never
were buster or making more money than
at present.
The only trouble investigation will re-
veal is among a few men in the building
line. and that the contractors say, will
be settled in q couple of days. Reports
of a general strike being imminent are
emphatically denied.

Katie Rooney In 1.-THE Girl From
ireland ; al the Bijou.

AT the Bijou Theatre last evening Miss
Katie Rooney and her excellent compan
began a weeks engagement with a good
performance. The play is called The
Girl from Ireland Honora O'Toole, the
daughter of Jerry O'Toole, who has made
a fortune, comes back from Ireland where
| she has been to be educated. Her father
has arranged for her marriage with a
bogus duke, and in order to escape TINS
horrible fate Honora palms off her maid,
/ Bridget Mccain, as herself, and poses as
Jennie Clancy, a Dublin concert hall sing

| ries Charlie File, an up-to-date newspaper
man. This plot is utilized to make much
| fun and gives a really clever troupe OF
variety people an opportunity to display
| their accomplishments. The most notable
| feature of the performance was the arts
| tic dancing. Without a single exception
| all the performers were clever with their
| heels while the work of Miss Kitty ker-
| win. Mile or Signorita Eulalie, the bills
| do not say which, and Miss Emma Bal
| lard, is deserving of praise. J. P. Suili-
| van and Mark Murphy are well known to
| theatrical circles, and their work was up
| to standard. Although not on the bills.
| there was a strong suspicion that Mr..
| Murphy took the part of Bridget Mccain.
| At any rate, whoever did filled the role
acceptably. Mr.. George W. Larsen,
| though suffering from a partial loss of
| voice, was excellent as Benjamin Hardup,
| actor, schemer, etc, .and the Duke or
| Nervangaul. was we'll filled by Mr.. J. c.
| Vernon. J. c. Vernon was good In the
| part of Charlie File, the newspaper man.
l nra of +ba beet nerformanceS of the
| evening was that of Miss Emma Ballard

OF Miss Rooney too much cannot be
| said. She is a charming bit of an Irish
| girl, full of fun and spirits and just as be-
| witching as She is little. She is a good ac-
tress, a queen of dancers and an accom-
! plished singer. Her im-personation of the

! states, was her father, was to those VINO

Tho Knickerbocksrs at the Bon Tho

IF anv nroof was wanted of the excel
lence of the entertainment at the Bon
Ton Theatre last night there was an
abundance of it furnished not only by
the generous applause of the large audi
ence but by the fact that not the
slightest attention was paid to the tur-
MOL out in the street caused by a fire
in Bernstein's stores, directly opposite the
theatre. No one in the house seemed TO
care anything about the fire. Each one
was being amused, and as that was what
they all paid their money for, they had
no time for such a commonplace thing
as a fire in the vicinity. OF course there
were a few exceptions among the gallery
gods, but even among that fun loving
fraternity there were very few deserters
from the theatre.
Bobby Mack and Minnie Daily started
the fun ball rolling at a pretty live gait.
Cessy Grant and Rita Durand kept the
good work up and despite the racket
made by a few silly boys in the gallery
who were determined to investigate the
cause of the excitement outside, these two
clever young women kept the attention
of the greater part of the audience till
they finished their act and were rec@a-u
with a thunderous round of applause
1t was easily seen that CAST Black and
Hardy, three Jersey City boys, had plenty
of personal friends in the house, and
nobody found any fault with Willy Hardy
dancing a reel and jig in all the splendor
of an evening dress suit. Shayne and
Worden have made hosts of friends in
Jersey City long ago, and were, as might
be expected, well received. The Three
Gardeners made the hit of the show and
are well known here. 1t was a treat in
deed to listen to Jack n watch his
antics in his ample white duck trousers
as he manipulated a rusty, battered, old
tuba, from which he extracted sweet
strains that delighted the hearts of real
lovers of good music.
Mike S. Whallen, the Calling gun
humorist, kept his audience in stitches
for a good quarter of an hour. His rapid
fire of jokes was delivered in such a man
ner as to make one dizzy to follow him.
Affair of Honor" a rather pretty
pantomine followed. The show closed
with a burlesque called Mixed Ale" 1t
was all light.

MEXICO EXTRACTION TREATY
The EXPIRATION FINDS FEW FuGl.
TIyEs FROM JUSTICE.
Mexico May Conclude to Turn over
TempIe--A New Convention Ii
Now Being Drafted.

Washington, January 25.-The Mexican
extradition treaty expired at midnight last
night, according TO the notice given by
the Mexican government. Its lapse finds a
remarkably small number of fngitives from
justice in either country TO profit by the
fact. So far as known at the state depart
ment Santiago Morphy is the only Next
can fugitive now at large in the United
States. He made sensational escape
from the Mexican chief OF police in New
Orleans just one day before the treaty
expired. In Mexico there Is one Ameri-
can. James Temple. who is technically a
fugitive from Justice and against whom
extradition pro,.e edings are NV In prog
ress, the charge being unlawful homicide.
and in his case there is reason to beiieye
Mexico may grant extradition.
The hiatus following the lapse OF this
extradftion treaty n deplorcd by both par
ties. and on each stde an earnest disposi-
tion Is being shown to replace the old
treaty with new Que TO be concluded by
Powell Clayton, our representative at the
City of Mexico, and gAexican Foreign Min
lister Senior Marascal. Fair progress has
been made on a new n~eaty, though IL is
no easy task to reconcile the radical diff
ference OF opinion bet Aeen the Mexican
government aud our owr definition OF the
political or revolutionary crimes, which
may not be subject to e.u.radition.
