The week Immediately preceding
Christmas is a period Of rest with many
Of the leading dramatic companies,
and for that reason the offerings at
the local theatres during the past six
days were not numerous. The Bon
Ton Stock Company filed in a solid
week at the Grand, and gave such gen
eral satisfaction that it has been book
ed by Manager Feinler for a return date
later in the season. The offerings for
Christmas week are above the aver
age. The Aubrey company will pre-
sent the strongest plays in its roper
toire on Christmas day at the Grand,
and Crest0n Clarke and his excellent
company will hold the boards at the
Opera House. MIR. Clarke will be seen
in two OF the most pleasing roman
tic dramas ever enacted David Gar
rick" and The Last Of His Race"
After the Princeton Glee Club, the
great Lafayette show will occupy the
remainder of the week. This is even
stronger than The last fashionable vau-

ALL .IH WINTER BATHS
DIR. oHAGE HAS A NEW PLAN TO
PROMOTE PUBLIC
HEALTH
BASEMENT OF NEW LIBRARY
1t Is One of the Possible Locations
Considered for Such
am Institu-
ton.
BASEMENT OF NEW LIBRARY

Considerable agitation has been rails
ed over the proposition of Health Com
missioner Ohage. to establish all the year
round free public baths. such as are in
the possession of other great cities. TIE
marvellous success of the baths on Har-
rlet island has lead to the hope that the
city may take kindly to a similar insti-
tuition for similar ends that may do it's
good work in the chilly weather as we'll
as in the summer, when the temperature
of the river is high enough to allow its
free use
There are thousands in the city whs
have no means of bathing during the
winter, unless they pay the regulation
charge at concerns of private enterprise
who are in the business for money and
many forego it or spend like amounts for
pleasure. An institution conveniently To-
Gated in the center of the city, where
such needs may be supplied at cost price,
is the plan of DR.. Ohage. He argues
that nothing so quickly affects the ag-
gregate health of the city as cleanli-
ness, and the. doctor intends TO go right
at the heart of the matter without any
backward steps.
The southern side of West Third street
facing the river, somewhere above bridge
square, has been suggested as a central
and possible location for the institution
Another location that has friends in the
men of the library building.
1t is urged by the friends of the libra
~ that the income from the rental of the
basement is needed by the library board
TO meet the expenses of running the Ii
brary, but it is probable that the great
good Of such an institution centrally 10
Gated would outweigh any other consid-
erations.
Plans have been drawn up showing to
what use the building might be put if the
consent of the library board can be OBJ
taiEed. Provision has been made for
an indoor track around the outer edges
of the structure with an extensive gym
nasium for public use, and the baths in
the central portion, besides an immense
swimming tank.
1t IS claimed that such an institution,
properly equipped and maintained under
the direct supervision of the health de-
partrnent through DR.. Ohage and his as
Sistants, would reach the high standard
of the baths in the river and accomplish
even more sweeping results.

TRYING TO GET A JURY
LITTLE PROGRESS MADE IN TRIAL
OF CHIEF COOK.

The formal opening Of the trial Of Hart
N. Cook, chief of the fire department.,
for an alleged unprovoked assault on Po-
lice officer David Hennessy, began yes
terday before Judge Hine, though no
progress was made beyond to secure four
members Of the jury that win decide the
matter.
Chief Cook, Patrolman Hennessy and a
number of the city hall officials were in
ATTENDANCE, but their patience became
exhausted. and they gradually left, as
man after man of the thirty-three venire-
men summoned failed to meet the views
of the respective sides and were released.
Only four came up to the requirements.
Both sides interrogated each man as
to his preference for either department
The publicity given the difficulty beween
the two men, however, seemed to have gone
broadcast, and many of those called ia
formed the court that they had decided
views in the matter.
A special venire of fifty jurymen was
ordered by the court and these will be
examined beginning at 10 o'clock today.
The jurors selected, Edward Quick, A. K.
Reed, Frank e. Reeve and Peter Tobin,
were excused until this afternoon. This
informality drew a protest from Attor-
ney Crosby, counsel for Chief Cook, but
it was not needed
The case will probably consume several
days as there are several witnesses 70
examine. Attorneys Finehout and Stan
Dennelly appear for the state.
