manoeuvres to gain his release are ex-
~ceedingly funny.

Hawkins residence, n it is here that
Miss Hicks poses as a lunatic. The CHI
RAJ of this act is particularly strong and
enhanced by Mowler (Mr. William Ii.
Wellthie), a blighted tragedian. Mr.. Well
THE will render the famous liable d'Hote
Rhapsodie" from THE French Maid"
Act III opens at the Compass" a cafe
at Bargate-on-Sea, where everything ends
happily in the usual farce style.

vision of Mr.. Douglas S. Houghton, who is
also coaching the Players" and a strong
cast has been procured In the following

NO CHANCE FOR SHARKS.
Volunteers State Pay Will
Not Be Given On As
signment.

Especial to 9Th Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, April %, 1s99.-The work of
distributing the State aid to the Jersey
volunteers who served in the war with
Spain goes merrily on, under the direction
of Paymaster General Donnelly and Cap
tain Armstrong. So far a great majority
of those paid off nave appeared at the
State House in person and received their
money. This plan has proven to be very
satisfactory and it is desirable that even
those living out of the city should fol-
low it.
General Donnelly has a large force OF
assistants at work, and altogether about
$40, 900 has been distributed. The office
has been open every evening, in order
that soldiers occupied during the day
might have an opportunity to call and
present their claims. The usual Satur-
day ~half-holiday will not be observed to-
day. The office will remain open until
nine O'Clock this evening, or until all the
soldiers presenting themselves shall have
been paid.
There have been many rumors of late
to the effect that the soldiers claims
were being bought up by agents of
moneyed men. The story was that these
agents charged the volunteers a large bo-
nus for advancing the cash. If any such
transfer claims have been paid they will
not be honored when presented.
&ae law provides that "no assignment
of such State pay shall be recognized or
be valid: but soldiers may designate in
writing some one to whom such payment
may be made, under such regulation as
may be established
This section of the law, at a hurried
glance, would seem to be contradictory,
but the authorities have made a regula-
ton that the money shall only be paid up
| on the signing of a. special form of re-
| ceipt and fidavit by the volunteer en-
titled to receive the money. Should the
| soldier be unable to present himself in
| person for the money, and desire to desig-
nate some one to receive it for him. he
may do so by signing the affidavit and re-
| ceipt and designating in the receipt the
| person to whom the sum is to be paid. In
| such aases the agent thus designated
must present the claim with the volun-
| teer's discharge and the receipt and affi-
| davit and must in turn make affidavit
| that he is the agent so designated. Heels
| then given a cheque for the amount due
! the volunteer and made out in the volun-
teer's name.
This regulation was made for the pur-
pose of preventing the soldiers from dis
posing of their State pay at a discount.

HOBART
WON'T RUN
He Decides Not to Be a
Candidate for Re-
election.
HIS POOR HEALTH THE REASON
Has Heart Trouble and May
Not Be Able to Preside
Over the Next Senate.
HIS POOR HEALTH THE REASON


WASHINGTON. April %, 1sss.-vice-
President Hobart has definitely informed
his personal friends here, including Presi-
dent Mckinley that he will not be a
candidate for reelection.
This decision is due to the i'll health of
the vice president, which necessitates the
putting aside as far as possible all cares
and responsibilities.
1t is even doubtful if he will be able to
perform his duties next winter as the
presiding officer of the Senate, although
the question can only be determined by
the condition of his health during the
summer.
The vice presidents real trouble is a
veal heart, and to this ailment was due
the seriousness of his recent attack of
grip and indigestion.

Pronuet Of German Imagination

A great effort to be truly American
was made by one German toy-maker this
season, says the New York Commercial
Advrtiser." He made a railway station
and painted it's two gothic towers pale
green and pale blue respectively; then he
flied tup one tower as a "waiting-room"
and the other as the stationmaster's Office.
The names of these Departments wsre
The arch, which Joined the two towers,
printed in English over the door of each.
and beneath which passengers had to pass
to buy tickets before rushing out on the
the German coat-of-arms. Above this, IN
hig black letters. Central Station. Balm
noff.e is printed. and from the flagstaff
aoafs 4 Swiss flag. But the funniest fea-
tire is the Awaiting-room." 1t Is furnished
with small ound trables, IN each Of
which is aglass of beer. Shades of Amer
