what would you do, if ~theybsaid to you,
When Cervera was in the bay;
To take with you a jolly crew,
You then sunk a boat, jumped to a hoat,
Having bottled up the harbor;
Were put in Jail, where health must fall
Because of a scanty lafder.
To your native land once more;
And there you found, as you walked
Your name on each liquor store.
Hobson Whisky, cheap but risky,
Hobson free lunch stew;
Hobson hats and Hobson flats,
What dc you think you'd do?
A Hobson kiss. that will never miss,
The candy counter shows;
While Hobson shoes and magazine news
AS only in America grows.
Hobson buns and Hobson puns,
Hobson's lectures, too;
A Hobson boat, that will never Hoay,
I'd stop ~it-Wouldnt you!
Hobson ice so pure and nice,
h ice cream shops display;
It's a Hobson collar, three TOR a aohar
That makes the business pay.
It's a name that will hide in shame,
And make old Trilby new.
Will it ever cease and give US peace!
/ don't knoW-do you?
| It's such a fad. that every dad.
Whether high toned or quite shady;
| Most every Jew, and Christian, too,
Must Hobsonize his baby. III.
| AS the opera you cav then perceive
Walking up to you;
| The prima donna-(now on your honor)
Tell me what you'd do?
If she should rest her head on your breasi
And say, please kiss me, do.
| I'd right there say, Nor and never be-
The favor she asked--wouldn't you?
| Now if a belle. who thought SO well
OF Hobson and his crew,
| Gave a dear little sigh, as you went by
To have a kiss from you.
| She put up her face, with the tenderes'
grace. y
And eyes of the softest blue;
And said: My dear, please draw mi
near?"
1 wouldn't-would you?
But he has gone to Manila, where
Aguinaldo
Will let him kiss some more;
And he can spark all the night, WINE
waiting to fight.
For they have no kissing law
But soon you will hear, within the year
The trouble he will brew;
For if he is able, he will kiss by cable
So what are vol going to DO!

interest of local theatre goers to q higher

in New York to crowded houses during its
entire engagement. Since that time it has
been entirely rewritten. The music,
which is the principal charm of the piece,
has been writer for it by the author,

Star Theatre, New York.

When the Bard of Avon. the immoktaf
Shakespeare declared it WAS the duty or
the stage to hold the mirror vi to nature,
he struck in those medieval days the
keynote of modern stage realism. With
the advent OF progress along commer-
cial and Industrial lines The stage has
kept steadily IN tho vanguard. Managers
now realize that the days Of tinsel and
tawdriness are gone for ever, for the au-
dience of the present day is exacting IN
its requirements. Perhaps no theatrical
firm has realized this fact better than
Managers Thomas Fl. Davis and William
T. Keogh, proprietors of the new play
Of life in Lower New York entitled,
Daughters of the Poor" which appears
for the first time at the Star Theatre,
next week.
It is said to be a masterpiece Of stage
realism. The action is laid among the
denizens of the East Sid tenement dis
trict down in the vicinity of the Brooklyn
Bridge. The scenic sets are declared to be
correct to the minutest details. The first
act represents the interior of the humble
home Of the daughters Of the poor The
section act is a realistic stage represent
alton OF South water street alons lne
East River front.
The scene of the third act is laid on the
roofs and attics of the tenement houses.
Here one of the most thrilling episodes OF
the play is enacted. The blind heroine
escapes from her attic prison by means
of a rope. This scene never fails to return
the house into a whirlwind Of enthusi-
asm.
The last act is laid in a modest home
where the daughters of the Door are seen
under better circumstances.
David Braham has written the music
which augments the story. The cast is
said to be x~cellent and the, speciaities
appronriate.

cipate seeing an entirely new production.
s'Gayest Manhattan is a delightful show
if there was nothing else. But there is
something else and lots of it. There is
refreshing comedy all the way through
the three acts, productive of more laughs
tina could be counted. The play, if such
ii can be called, is a happy combination
of music and fun, and the audience is
either being entertained by some well
u solo or chorus, or being amused by
some humorous speciality. Thu company
numbers forty-seven people, and contains
a number of well known and popular
ARTISTS. chief among them is Gertie Reyn-
olds. the famous New York Journal
poster girl, in her original character of
Miranda Prindle; w. H. Lytel, Charles,
IT. Clarke, Joseph Kenney, Emma Sic

one thing about "Gayest Manhattan" is
it's freedom from objectionable features,

times employed with the mistaken idea
that they are necessary to give a per-

PASTOR LADD REPLIES.
Explains the Reason For
Resigning From the
Mission Station.

The controversy concerning Charles r..
|Ladd, who resigned a week g from the
ST. Johns Church Army Post in Lafay-
cite is getting more interesting a day.
The stories floating about during the last
few DAYS have contained little of the 7
facts regarding Pastor Ladd's resignation
from the Army Post. The real cause was
told to a reporter Of .sThe News" who
interviewed him last evening at his home
on Communipaw avenue, near Van Horn
street.
He had positively refrained from giving
out any information up to last evening, al
though he was asked for his side of the
story several times.
In this weeks Bulletin 1t says that the
affairs in the Post were not being man
aged very well of late, and that there was
q general tendency to shirk the mission
duties. Mr.. Ladd in reply said
You may say first of all, that | came to
the conclusion a long time ago, that there
was no use Of sending converts into the
main church, when they were limos nm
mediately turned out into the world. by
this. l mean, that on the third Sunday or
| each month, the report from the Post is
| made to the church, ana the Post is
| closed that evening, all the members going
| to the mother church. There are a num-
| Der of converts from the Post on these
| Sunday evenings, but the sermons they
hear are just the reverse from those 1
preached at the Post.
" All a church service last summer, the
congregation was told that the Iltsae
| Minister, was an excellent piece to see,
| ad several other performances were
recommended. These things | have all
ways been averse to and have preached
| sermons at the Post meetings to that eff
feet.
ssThe mission work has proed a valua-
BILE assistant to st. Johns Church, and
has been a s~elf-supporting organlzation
Methodists for support in our work, and,
| of course, it is well known that that de-
nomination forbids either dancing or the
| attendance at theatres. Therefore you
can readily see the position those mem
| bers were in when the mother church peo--
| pie spoke In favor OF those diverS1ons ana
the members took sides ana tnlngs got
| very unpleasant in the Post. different

trusts and monopolies and should be
amended. Mr.. McDermott's new Free
holder bill will not become a Law, nor Whi
it be defeated without a contest, and the
new High School bill, wanted by Trenton
and Newark. will also give the lawmak-
ers something to do.
Take it all in all. there is not much
indication that the session will be shorter
than usual There is no particular rea-
son why ii should be if the legislators
win give some attention to the needs OF
the state and its cities, instead of to the
schemes of corporations. Among the
matters which should receive attentloii
and upon which there should be aehhi'e
ana progressive action are the Runway
Reformatory. the publication of the fas-
| sale. the consolidation of Hudson county
| into one municipality and the creation OF
small Boards of Freeholders in nrst-
class counties instead of the present
huge. unwieldy and irresponsible poaies'
which AVE produced 50 much scandal
since a Republican Legislature created
tbem three winters ago. The question
whether a session is too long or not de-
ponds, for its answer. upon the class o.
questions to which the time is devoted.
The present Legislature can find work
enough to justify it in sitting until May
| and it may do things which viii MAKE
the voters regret that it was not ended
| as soon as it was begun.

the Thomas McEwan Association Thurs
dav evening. and those of the faithful
who were present, enjoyed a pleasure sell
dom accorded to ordinary lndiVlouais'
From reports of the proceedings we learn
that thew were treated to the reading OF
a speech by the Congressman. on "Ihe
codifcation of the Criminal Laws o.
Alaska and we are also told that the
reading of the speech created considerable
excitement and enthusiasm" This, unoer
ordinary circumstances. can be easily pc
l;eved for the fiery eloquenceSof "Honest
Tom always creates excitement and en-
thusiasm; but it must be regarded as a
nroof of uncommon personal devotion that
any thing concerning the codi6cation OF
the criminal laws of Alaska should sur
m the hearts Of Jersey Citizens to any
hin like mutiny and rage. We should
ourselves, have been inclined to regard II
as a somewhat chilly subject for this time
Of the year.
Unfortunately, none of the speech IS
given in the daily papers, so it is impos-
sible to ascertain just what there was SO
exciting and enthusiastic about the Con-
gressman's remarks. 1t may be that Mr..
McEwan has views peculiarly his W up
on the subject which are of paramount in
.E-II L. -. fo11ou-arc an the Heights.
and his ideas of codifying the criminal
laws of Alaska may be such as TO cause
every man. who hopes to see him elected
| Mayor next spring, to throw up his mar
| and enthuse to a marked degree. But II
| Mr. remarks are of such an
| important and inspiring character, they
| are certainly Of interest to every citizen
in the district. In letting their briiiiancy,
excitement and enthusiasm be lavished
upon a handful of his immediate follow
| erg. alone. Mr.. McEwan is not doing his
whole duty by his constituents. He is
rendering himself liable to the charge OF
| being a monopolist and an advocate OF
| class discrimination, and such a charge
would certainly be a blight upon his young
life.
But there was another exciting scene
| at the meetingof the association Thursday
| evening. Gamaliel Christie, the chairman
Of the assoeiatios who. with his charac-
| t~eristic nlodesty, only spoke after every
| other speaker, sprang a decided sensa-
tion. The matter of the election of Chair
man of the County Committee was under
discussion, n Mr.. Christie was advo-
eating a secret ballot. He declared
secret ballot will elect Tom McEwan,
and If any stuff is needed l have 1t here,
displaying d fat roll of bills. The lips OF
the members began to water, and there
was an in~voluntary movement in Mr.
christie's directions, which he checked
suddenly by continuing that if any one
needed So to pay his County Committee
dues. he. Christie, would see that it was
Forthcoming.
Mr.. Christie was ~incautious, however,
in giving the snap away. His love OF
ramati effect led him into a revelation
of Mr.. McEwan's strength, which put the
INSCRIPTIONS opposition on it's mettle- u
Mr.. Christie had not talked, we think We
see Mr.. McEwan proudly elected over the
head of Mr.. e.. w. Woolley, and proudly

1T is probable that the Legislature viii
NOT get fairly under way Until the latter
week of this month or the first of next.
The inauguration exercises and functions
win probably take up next week, and
the election Of a United States Senator
the following one. When the lawmakers
finally get to work, there will be plenty
i for them to do. and. unless some OF the
orators in both Chambers are restrained,
this win by no means be the short ses-
sion the leaders predict. Even at this
early day, there are many measures in
sight which promise long and bitter
fights.
The Erie Railroad has already given
public notice that it will seek the pas
sage of a bill authorizing its lease Of
the Northern Railroad. BY its acauisi-
ton of this line, of the New York, Sus-
nuehanna and Western and of other small
railroads. the Erie has obtained almost
4 complete monopoly of travel in the
northern section of the State, and 1t has
simultaneously become extremely unpop-
mar with the people of those counties.
They will fight any measures the cor
poration may want passed, and they VIII
do an in their power to defeat any more
absorption bills
There are also indications of a strug-
gle between the great Standard OH mo-
nopoly and the United States Pipe Line
which is trying. to get a con-
dnit through from the oil fields of Penn
