Career Of This Popular
Theatrical Manager.

In Newark.


Few men have ever left Jersey City
more sincerely regretted than Harry
Hyams, who has become manager of the
handsome. new theatre recently erected
by Messrs. Samuel and Abner Kalisch on
Washington street near Market street,
Newark. It is not exactly correct to say
that Mr.. Hyenas has left Jersey City,
because although his business calls him
to Newark he will continue to reside in
Jersey City. Mr.. Hyams is a Jersey City
boy and is deeply attached to the city.
Coming here when he was four yea old
he has grown up wit the community and
few men are better. know throughout the
city than he. He was educated at old
No. l School on York street, and is one
of Principal Lindsley's 'old boys" When
twelve years old Mr.. Hyams left school
and entered the employ of John Gibson,
then one of the most prominent real
estate brokers in the city. 1t was not
many years before Mr.. Hyams had so
mastered the business that he became a
member of the firm of John NJ. Gibson &
Co. Soon after he became of age Mr..
Hyams ran for Justice of tn Peace and
| received almost all the votes cast in the
district. While Justice he sat with some
of the leading Justices of the day in cases
where the law required two Justices to
act.
Upon the dissolution of the firm of John
NJ. Gibson & Co. Mr.. Hyams associated
himself with Frank Stevens, taking
charge of the a%uctioneer branch of the
business. In a very short time he came

early recognized as the leaolhg auctioheer

WHY SHOULDN'T WE?

The Charlotte Observer remarks per-
tinently that 1--WE still celebrate the
birth of the Prince of Peace by getting
drunk, shooting and cutting each other
to death and by violating every rule of
propriety and every law of the land =
Well. why shouldn't we? If it is right
for this Christian nation to send its Cat
ling guns to shoot civilization and le-
ligion into the Filipinos, why can't q
citizen of Rhamkatte shoot the Christmas
spirit into his neighbor? If it is, right
pines because they refuse to give up on
demand what belongs to them, isn't it
right for Mecklenburg man on booze
to shoot saloon keeper who refuses on
demand to give him liquor? If it is
right for the English to shoot the Beers
who decline to ''treck" again when or
dered to do so, why may not a mountains
Ger shoot fellow who obstructs his
path?
hlSHI Is right anu NIohS ~ "ionS.
Nations cannot conscientiously and safe
ly do what an individual is forbidden to
do. As long as our laws are based on
.sThou shalt not steal'' and we deliberate

belonging to others, how can we expect
other than that crimes among individuals
shall increase?

LET him take who has the power
And let him keep who cam
