William owen.

Ever since he made hit in July,
MarlOwe's production of Romeo and
Juliet, Worlds Fair year, and played
one of the principal roles in the great
Shakesperian love story for months in
Chicago, William Owen has been con-
sidered one of the foremost of stage
lovers. The term "temperment" has
been bohooed at for years, but never
theless the thousands WHO saw Mr..
Owen in Romeo and Juliet at that time
and since have been greatly impressed
with his peculiar fitness for portraying
the beauty, the charms and the pathos
of q love story. Since his first success in
Miss Marlowe's company his Shakes
perian scholarship has progressed until
he is now regarded as an authority up
on the classic drama among the young
er generation of actors.
This season he is to be eeep only in
one play, and because of the many de-
mands for it Romeo and Juliet has been
selected and given handsome stage
mounting with competent supporting
company. To be be seen in this city.
Mr.. Owen in his representation Of
Romeo looses none of his fascination
personality and to it is added the magic
of Shakespeare's greatest lover.
To be at the Central opera house Fri
day evening, Nov. LIST. The greatest
drama on the stage. 43-2W

FALSE FIRE ALARMS
Police Says the Keys Are
Too Handy for
sFeinds.

The police attached to the Heights
station houses believe that the system OF
attaching keys to fire boxes is not the
best method. They state that all of the
false alarms are due to the fact that the
keys are so easily tampered with and
that anyone can send in an alarm and
escape unobserved. False alarms are by
no means of infrequent occurrence despite
the fact that the penalty is a heavy one.
The police of the Communipaw avenue
station house are doing their best to break
up the practice. For three hours We'd
nesday night two patrolmen hid near two
boxes on Grand street trying to capture
the offenders. An alarm had been sent
in from a box at Grand street and Fair
mount avenue early in the evening. The
lonely vigil of the coppers was unpro-
ductiye of the results anticipated. Tough
gangs infest that neighborhood and
dozen times false alarms have been given.
No arrests have been made.

TROLLEyS TO PULL DRAW
Turnpike Bridge Can't Be
Moved in Any Other
Way.

In order to avoid the necessity of clos
ing the only avenue of communication
by which pedestrians, trolley cars and
vehicles can reach the West Hudson
municipalities and the city of Newark,
the North Bridge Committee of the Board
of Freeholders has entered into an agree
ment with the North Jersey Street Rail
way Company by which its cars are used
when required to open and close the
broken draw of the Newark Turnpike
bridge over the Hackensack River.
The Freeholders have as yet been un-
able to make the necessary repairs to the
draw and at times the increased force
of men cannot open and close it. On
these occasions rope is connected with
the nearest trolley car and the electric
power does the work effectually. There
is considerable grumbling among the de-
layed passengers in the trolley cars, but
this is the best arrangement that can be
made for the present. 1t is expected that
within few days the repairs will be
made and traffic resumed as usual The
Freeholders say that the increased traffic
diverted to the Turnpike through the
closing of the Plank Road is running the
bridge.

thought they had a perfect right to give

at Elk's Hall.

Jersey City Council No. 81, Royal Ar
canum, celebrated its twenty-third ami
versary last evening at Elks' Hall, York
and Henderson streets, with an entertain
ment and reception. Although the

generously. Beggs orchestra opened the
entertainment with well rendered over
ture, Bandits Frolics.' The New York

six times. Miss Marion Short made the
hit OF the evening. Her recital of Aunt
Sarah on Bicycles" created lots of amuse-
ment, and LAS the Moon Rose was ex-
cellently given. Her ability as reciter
made great impression upon the audi
ence, and they liked her so well that
they bestowed round after round of ap-
plause upon her.

A. Farland, whose equal has never been
heard in this city. His playing of the
instrument was admirable, especially in
the Grade Song 4The Stars and
Stripes Forever and ''Auld Lang Syne, .
with variations, also made hits with the
audience. Walter w. Walters, a humor-
ist, is one of the kind that never fails
to make an audience laugh, and last even
ing he had all present in roars of laugh
ter. Miss Caroline Hamilton,s soprano
soloist, with a very fine voice, sang BE
cause 1 Love Thee So.'' Miss Catherine
Iganhoff contralto, was also very fine.

applause. The entertainment closed with
selections by the New York Operatic
Quartette A reception followed.
