TRENTON, jan. 81, 1S99.-It did not take
either chamber to transact its business
last evening. The Senate did little except
to introduce several bills. The House
concurrent resolution providing for an in
vestigation Of the system of engrossing
bills, with a view to the abandonment Of
the present system of engrossing bills,
reported favorably, and these Senators
were appointed to represent the Senate
on the committee: Messrs. Stokes and
Cross. The %ncurr resolution asking
Congress to deepen the channel of the
Delaware River, was also adopted. The
bill to allow "Billy', Thompson to run
more than one license at his Delaware
River picnic grounds, known as Washing
ton Park, was passed to a second reading.
1t seems strange to many citizens that
there has not come a murmur from any
individual or society, religious or other
wise, against this measure. 1t has, mere
tofore, been the practice for delegations
representing the church and anti-gam-
bling element to appear at Trenton IN
force whenever Thompson bobs up with a
measure however harmless. But here is
a bill to increase his facilities for selling
liquor direct in the teeth of the county
judges ruling, and yet up to this day net
a peep has been heard against the meas
ure. The Railway Reformatory Commits
sioners presented a memorial to the SEN
ate offering their aid in the proposed in
vestigation of that institution. The
memorial was filed.
In the House the measure extending the
county park act another year was passed
to second reading.

The Return of the sixty-Ninth.

Even in so small a matter as the BRING
ing home of a regiment from its place OF
encampment, the excrescences of the Al
ger War Department cannot avoid n
ling of the most atrocious kind.
The Sixty-ninth was scheduled to reach
New York yesterday forenoon. 1t did not
get in until 6 P. M. The train bearing the
regiment was at Kingston before noon.
Kingston is about two hours journey
from New York, yet it took over six
hours to cover the distance. This, by the
way, happened on a railroad, the Presi-
M. Depew, and Mr.. Depew is the man
who, when the Maine was blown up, said
we needed more brains and professional
skill in the Navy to prevent accidents.
1t looks as if more brains and knowledge
of railroading were needed on the West
Shore Railroad.
While the Alger combination of quar-
termasters and favored railroads were
thus delaying the homecoming of the
soldiers, a large escort and a crowd, va
riously estimated at from 10000 to $4,000
people, waited for them in h cold
streets. But what do Alger & Co. careZ

Especial to The Jersey CITY News
TRENTON, Jan. 81, 1s99.-A number of
bills were introduced in the House last
evening. One is intended to protect quail,
rabbit, deer, pheasant or squirrel, by pro-
hibiting their sale for five years here
after in the State. Mr.. Marks of Hudson
introduced a measure providing for public
baths in cities where the majority of the
citizens declare in favor of the same at an
election, the tax for the same to be one
third of a mill on each dollar of assessable
property. The baths are to be in charge
of a board of five, of which the Mayor
shall be one. Another bill by Mr.. Marks
seeks to prohibit premature burial by
providing that persons or corporations
furnishing means for the disposal of the
dead shall provide mortuaries in which
bodies received by them shall be placed.
The room must have a doorway at, least
six and one-half feet high by four feet
wide. This door must be left open at all
hours so that relatives and friends may
examine the body at all times. The tenn
perature of these mortuaries must be kept
between sixty and seventy Fahrenheit,
and there must always be a physician in
attendance. No burial can take place
until the physician who last attended the
dead person shall certify to the cause of
his death and in case he had no physician
then a coroner shall certify to all the facts
concerning the death if he can ascertain
them. No burial is to take place until
seventy hours after death. MI. Marks i'm

ROSEDALE CONDEMNED.
Players Club NJ ct Last Evening
and Decided Play Was
Too Long.

I'm sure I don't know what we are
going to do or whether we will give any
play at ALL" remarked a member of the
Players Club this morning. This club
has met with the. same difficulty which
confronts every organization of the kind
the difficulty of getting a play exactly
suited to the actors.
Last night the club met to consider
and cast .RoseGale'' at the resi-
denee of Miss Jarvis, on Glenwood
e but the play was turned
down as being too heavy and requiring
too elaborate stage settings. Then, too,
another objection lies in the fact that
.Rosedale" has five acts and seven
scenes. To run the play through with
out any intermissions would require about
three hours, and when to this is added the
intermissions between acts and scenes,
which with amateurs are apt to be some
what tedious, that would have to be ex-
tended to at least five hours. Besides this
it is a melodrama, music and all, com
plete, and at present this class OF play is
not the most popular.
Last evening quite a long list of plays,
suitable for the players abilities, were
recommended by Mr.. Houghton, the
coach. among which were 1.-THE Late Mr..
Costello by Sydney Grundy; 1.-THE But
terfies,'' 1.-THE Masked Ball." and In
Sportsman" Mr.. Houghton was strong
in condemning "Rosedale," though some
of the members are still just as strongly
in favor of it. However, the m
will procure the plays suggested, give
them a reading, and perhaps choose one.
Among members of the Dramatic Com
mittee are Mr.. O.. L. G~ubelman, Miss IDA
Jarvis, Miss Ethel Potts. Mr.: Edward
Batchelar, Mr.. Frank Richardson, MISS
J.. jackson and Mr.. William Fleid.

TwAB[RNACLERS MEET.
Subscription List Swells and
Finances in Good Condi-
tom Will Call Pas
tor Soon.

All fear of the Tabernaclers not being
able financially to run their church and
supper a pastor is now at an end, at
least among themselves. Therefore, all
idea of turning the downtown branch into
a mission church has been abandoned.
Last evening the second of what is ike
" to become a series of meetings on she
calling of a pastor, was held in the lee
ture room of the Tabernacle. There were
only those interested in the welfare OF The
Tabernacle present, and it was, on the
whole, a very quiet meeting.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that while at the January meeting, it was
stated by an uptown member, the Taber-
nacle was S., 900 il debt at the time of the
consolidation with the Boyd Avenue
Church, the amount in reality was but
5000, some Of which has since been paid
off. The question came up in connectien
OF this Indebtedness, as to whether the
Tabernaclers in assuming their snare,
were responsible for the pastors salary.
Mr.. Scudder, while refusing his presence
at the Tabernacle, is still pastor OF that
church, never having resigned, and the
question arises whether, according to
law he could not force the downtown cons
gregation to pay his salary. If we nave
to pay Mr.. Scudder," said one man, III
drop out, and j know fifty others who will
follow This is where the Chairman
came to the rescue:
The committee on procuring a pastor re-
ported on two candidates, the Rev. Nc
Gregor and the Rev. Samuel Scoville, both
of whom the people had heard. Both men
wero considered, pro and con, and in or
der to feel the general pulse of the meet
ing it was moved hat a rising vote De
taken for either man, but the motion was
lost in the shuttle, and the meeting ad-
journed to next Wednesday evening, af-
ter Mr.. McGregor, who will preach next
Sunday, has again been heard.
The money raised by subscription alone,
independent of any outside help, WHICH
the Tabernaclers are sure of when once
they call a pastor, amount to sufficient
to run the church for 1899, with an emef-
gency FUND in reserve, exclusive of the
pastors salary, and as the subscription
list includes neither money raised by
church societies nor fairs. the old Ta5er-
nacle is for the present out of danger OF
a financial wreckage, as ~prophesled a
short time ago.

"A Lady of Quality at the Academy
of Music.

Mrs. Burnett's play, "a Lady of Quail
ity.'' was produced last night at the
Academy to an unusually large audience.
1t is the play in which Julia Arthur made
such a sensation last year in New York.
The play is a strong one. 1t has intensely
interesting scenes, and it has numerous
opportunities for striking acting. Miss
Eugenie Blair, who takes Julia Arthuf's
role. Clorinda Witdairs, is not quite
equal to the part. She is generally very
good: she does some parts of scenes adj
mirably. and then at the climax of a
thrilling scene she collapses utterly. Al
most invariably she succeeded in'working
the audience up to intent interest and ex-
pectation, only to let them fall with a
thud, at the great moment. She also
makes the mistake of wearing modern
gowns while the other members of the
company are CARRIED in the costumes of
200 years ago. Her best acting is done
just after she kills Sir John Oxen, when
she is still undecided what to do with his
body.
Mr.. William Bramwell, who acts Sir
John Oxen. is far and away the best one
in the His work is excellent
throughout. Miss Lucia Moore is a very
pretty girl. who is very cute as Lady
Betty Tantillon.
The story of the play differs but slight
ly from the book. 1t opens when Clor-
india is eighteen, just after she has decid-
ed to be a ladylike girl instead of a hoy
den. She falls in love with the Duke of
Osmonde, taken by Edgar Baum, and
tries, for his sake, to change her ways.
Oxen is wroth at her engagement and
threatens to let Osmonde know of her
former ENHANCEMENT with him.. AT this
Clorinda struck Oxen with the handle of
her whip and the blow killed him. She
heard people coming and pulled a sofa
over him. Later she buried him in a
wine cellar. She is afraid to tell Os-
monde but he soon hears her telling her
sister, and loves her in spite of it, and
the curtain falls just as they decide to
be happy ever after.
Miss Blair is supported admirably and
the play, as it is presented, is well worth
seeing. 1t will be given his week, with
the usual matinees,

WOMAN QUESTION DISCUSSED.

At a meeting of the st. Pauls Catholic
Club, of Greenville, this evening, a mat
ter of great Importance to the future well
fare of the organization will be decided.
The matter refers to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
admitting the ladies of the parish as as
sociate members. This matter has hung
fire for some time, but it will be definite
~ settled this evening. In order to adj
nit the fair sex, it will be absolutely es-
sential to hire a more commodious build
ing for meeting purposes. If this plan
is carried out, as proposed by several of
the members, the club will take a great
leap into prominence. OF late, a great
deal of apathy has been shown.
The ladies will only be admitted as
associate members, the same as the St.
Patrick's Club, where there are nearly
two ndr ladies officiated with that
successful organization.
