Assemblymen which the county has IN the
Legislature In addition to these there
| are to be fifteen papers at large repre-
Isenting labor interests and non-English
voters The Compensation is fixed at so
cents per folio.
The abolition of the publication of the
laws in the newspapers was phase Of
Foster Voorhees, sham economy and was
perpetrated upon the people Of the state
for the sole purpose of making political
capital for the Republican party The
system which replaced the newspapers
was conspicuous failure from the very
start, and there has been an almost
unanimous demand for 4 return to the old
system.
A comical phase Of the Republican idea
Of the protection Of American labor was
produced by Senator Shinn, Of Ocean, in
the shape Of d bill which seeks to pro-
hibit the picking Of nuckleberries with q
sort of machine called a scoop
Other bills introduced in the Senate
were:

Taxation to investigate complaints that
properties have not been equitably as
sessed. even after the tax has been paid,
and to Increase the same, provided that
such Increase shall not extend back Of the
year in which the investigation begins.
Mr.. Reed Qor the President} Amends
4 ti.r1
defects in last years bill. Requires per-
son in case Of an appeal to give bonds in
double the amount of the judgment
Mr. Reed (by equest)-Provides that
the term of office of every elective officer
except Justice of the peace1 holding office
in any city at the passage of the act OF
February rs. 1901. which term would regu-
Iarly expire before January | and Z shall
be limited so as to expire at noon on
January 1 in the year Of which his term
of office would otherwise expire.

AMUSE EMENTS.



| In the dramatization OF winston Church.
| mrs popular novel, Richard Carvel, now
being produced at the Bijou, Jersey City,
theatre -goers are given chance to see
some rare good acting Not only is Mr.
Andrew Robson all that could be desired
as an impersonation of the young patriot,
Richard, but he is strongly supported.
Ruth Berkeley gave a fine Interpretation
Of Mr.. Churchilis Dorothy Manners. In
fact, to do little Dorothy Justice, one
should see Miss Berkeleys interpretation
She is really not quite such heartless
coquette as one is apt to infer from
mere perusal of the book. She knows her
man and knows she can coquette with
him. that is all and to see Dorothy in the
flesh as presented by Miss Berkeley IS to
be too charmed to eensure her coquetry
but rather to blame Richard for a chump
Miss Mabel Wright might well divide
honors with Miss Berkeley. AS Patty
Swain she might have grown into the
part from childhood so natural did the
portrayal of that sweet, true girl without
the frilis of coquetry or Irritation come to
her she was the very opposite Of Doro-
thy, and made her part stand out in bas
TGHel. although SHE Oti4S dpPte-A W - ~ y
acts. just half the play. In the last act,
when she tells Richard to approach Doro-
thy coldly, else she win again coquette
with him, Patty is especially cute and
graceful. One really hesitates in favorit-
ism between the beautiful commanding
Dorothy and the pretty winning Patty.
Mr.. Robson makes a fine Richard Car
vel. He is just what one would expect
from Churchills description. Tall, broad
shouldered and manly in every respect.
In makeup and acting he reminds one of
Andrew Mack, save that Robson's IS a
more serious demeanor. Still behind all
the grace of his court manners, one al
most looks for the gay, rollicking nature
of the Irishman to break out at any mo-
ment Perhaps this impression comes
from his hot-headed impetuosity and
readiness to fight
In the dramatization Richard CarveF'
is little changed in plot from the book.
The first scene is laid In Carvel Hall gar
dens. Maryland where Richard makes
love to Dorothy, and she decides after
teasing him sufficiently, TO accept his Of
fer IN the meantime, however, a plot Is
concocted. Dorothy is told that her faith
er is in debt to the Duke of Chartersea
and Only an alliance between her and the
Duke will save her father Dorothy con-
sents to consider the Duke, and goes to
London. Richard is cast on board pri-
vate ship, but escapes through the BRAY
cry Of John Paul Jones and follows Doro-
thy to London, where he becomes great
favorite. In a duel Of the Dukes own
scheming with Richard, the former is
killed by his own strategy. Richard re-
turns to Maryland. finds the colonies en-
gagged in war with England, covers him
self with glory. and at last wins Dorothy
Just before the curtain drops on the last
act.
The theatre was crowded last night and
tickets for the week are selling rapidly.

PRICES SKY HIGH
Hard Weather Forces People
on the Heights to Prae-
tioe Economy.


The unusually severe weather which
the entire country IS getting touch 90
has already caused untold suffering
among persons Of very limited means. But
the noor are rot the only ones VINO feel
the trying conditions under which people
are forced to live these days. Even those
terly of the unusual advances IN prices
OF almost every commodity
On the Heights prices have gone sky
high and families have been forced -
economic in the strictest fashion in or
der to make ends meet.
All meats have risen from two to six
cents a pound in the last TWO weeks AMI
even then the best meat IS not obtainabia
in any of the smaller shops. The butchers
say they must charge these prices to ex7
is,. Roasts cost fourteen and. sixteen Gems
pound; steaks twenty and twenty-five
cents pound; vegetables are so scaree
that only the wealthy can afford to in
dulge in these Injuries.
From all quarters Of the country come
reports of the scarcity Of eggs. In some
cities eggs are selling FIVE cents apiece.
but the usual price Is twenty-five cents
half dozen. Butter has risen in price
from twenty cents q pound to thirty
six cents. All these advances have taken
place within less than two weeks.
Grocers have not been slow to take adj
vantage Of the advances and they, too
lacked up the price Of all canned goods
from two to five cents a can.
Housekeepers are in despair over tlls
alarmingly high prices Of all edib.es.
Nothing is cheap Even the eonmsnest
food now costs as much as first class ar
.ielas under ordinary circumstances.
Some housekeeDers declare that they are
being deliberately robbed by the store
keepers. but are powefless to prevent i
as they are in the clutches of the re-
taller
Mix is another scarcity and that very
useful commodity Is q rarity in mary
houses. The big firms have gobbled np all
the supplies. leaving the small dealer =
get his supplies as best he can. AS re-
suit dozens Of dealers have been forced to
ouit business for the time until the supply
gets more plentiful.
The manager OF one of the largest con-
Germs in the state. said to a reporter that
his concern must get a certain amount
each day to supply the customers, and
that the dealers Must suffer
eve ret what we reed said he "ths
small dealers take what is left which is
very often nothing.
How long this distressing condition Of
affairs Is to last. Is the question people
are asking. They earnesly hope that the
weather viii moderate from now on 70
give them chance to IKE without pirch-
ing ana cconossaszing 10 the last penny.

Captain John Graham is most adj
mirabIe candidate for Sheriff on the Re-
publican ticket. He represents all the
marked features Of that party. He
would make characteristic campaign
and characteristic run.
II by any chance he were elected, he
could use his new powers to arrest him

Chief murphy Report and Republic
can Slande-.

One of the cruelest blows that has
vet been directed against the Repuoh-
can canpaign next fall is the report OF
Chief Murphy for the year 1901, which
we publish in another column. Nobody
ean gainsay the Chiefs veracity or ac-
curaey. He is not only a Republican
hut d pronounced Pagan man. He made
himself extremely obnoxious during the
last campaign by his zeal for the Re-
publican candidate. Further. he is
good policeman. Nobody can question
his professional ability. Whatever he
says about the moral condition of the
city is true.
Now the great feature of the Repub-
lican fight for the shrievalty, to date,
has been the allegation that the city
was full Of crime and protected by
alleged Democratic influence. In particu-
lar, the vice of gambling was alleged by
the .'Evening Journal to be generally
and defiantly prevalent. This was the
theory underlying the Gene Sullivan
prosecution and one or two similar fakes
10 which Prosecutor Erwin and one or
two other high Republican officials lent
their aid in the months just gone by.
Now comes Chief Murphy with his Of
fetal declarations. in his official report.
backed by his official reputation and
verified by his official oath. Here are
some OF the things which he says
No public gambling exists in our
city. neither IS there any place in the
city equipped with the necessary de-
vices and implements for a gambling
house.
There are few places in the city
where poker playing is done that are
looked upon as gambling houses These
games are conducted penind iockeu
doors and as no one is admitted unless
they are known to the backer Oh the
game or vouched for by someone It y
hard TO get evidence against the
keeper of such places
The Chief further says
There are no public houses Of prosti-
Is tuition in this city When a lewd wom-
an attempts to conduct disorderiy
house evidence is. soon procured and
the mouse raided.
Fifteen hundred and thirty-five per-
sons were apprehended this year for
crimes against the person, one hum
dred and ninety less than the last
year.
Nine hundred and forty-eight per-
sons were arrested for the commits
sion of crime against property one
hundred less than last year.
In other words, this is one of the least
vicious and crime injected communities
in the whole world Even those forms
Of immortality which are considered in
eradicable in great cities are kept 50
stringently repressed that their existence
and their influence are practically inn
perceptible..
1t is impossible to read this document
coming from the most unquestionable
source, and not feel ones wrath boil
oyer at the dastardly conduct Of par
tisan newspaper, which for the smallest Of
purposes blackens and defames the rep
utation Of the community upon whose
bounty it thrives, which proclaims to
the world that one Of the cleanest and
most orderly cities in the world is the
haunt Of protected crime.
