1.-THE ALTAR OF FRIENDSHIP. ;

Polls theater was crowded to the doors last night to witness Nat Good win and Maxine Elliott in the above titled production. A very clever com pany assisted the two stars in a very successful play. The distinguished players come to Us from the metropoli tan success at the Knickerbocker the ater in New York and their artistic tri- umphs in Philadelphia, Chicago, Wash ington and other of the great cities of the land. In Mrs Ryleys play they each have parts that are the embodi- ments of their very selves and through each these incomparable artists are said to have reached the climax of their career. The motif of the play is an interesting story of the sacrifice of a brother for the unworthy husband of his sister This young benedict has become entangled, just previous to his wedding, in a nasty intrigue with an ignorant young typewriter, and as the father of the girl has learned of the affair and threatens to create a scene at the altar, Arbuthnot (Mr Goodwin accepts the odium of the matter and the real culprit escapes for the time being. As this complication interferes sadly with Arbuthnot's own prospec tive marital happiness, he is in sorry plight. Mr Goodwin has heart inter- est, comedy of the highest type, self sacrifice and all of the probabilities of the everyday life of an Hnglishman of to-day, and Miss Elliott has chance to wear several beautiful gowns which, in connection with her personal beau ty, makes picture worthy of her witty lines. keen repartee and Womanliness. Tn this instance two stars of different temperaments and characteristics, but whose work blends perfectly, have each been given opportunity to utilize their rarest talents In a piece of absorb ing interest. 4 comedy with the brighter side of life beautifully por- trayed; with heart interest, self f-sacri- flee, love quarrels which are necessary to love making. mfsy1nd and the probabilities of life, are few of the features.

TO SETTLE OLD DISPUTE.
Governor NTurphy Issues a Special Message on state Boundary Case.

Governor Murphy Issues a Special
 Message on State Boundary Case.
 TRENTON, N. J., March 4Govern- or Murphy has sent to both houses of the legislature special message rela- tive to the dispute that has been go- ing on for the past twenty-five years as to the correct boundary line be- tween Delaware and New Jersey. Tho governor in his message states that Delaware in 1871 passed an act prohibiting fishing within the bounda- ries of that state without license. Some New Jersey fishermen who were fishing on the Jersey side of the Dela- ware bay were arrested for violating this act. Delaware claimed that it's boundary line extended to low water mark on the New Jersey side. New Jersey in 1877 carried the case to the supreme court of the United States. For twenty-five years thereafter noth- ing was done.
 Recently Delaware filed an answer to the New Jersey suit. Since then the attorney generals of the two states have been in friendly communi- cation, and within the past month Governor Murphy of New Jersey and Governor Hum of Delaware had g conference on the subject in Phila- delphia.
 Governor Muxphy in his message expressed the opinion that the dispute be amicably adjusted. He says the Delaware legislature has passed a joint resolution for the appointment of commission to consult with a similar commission from New Jersey to arbitrate the matter and report their findings to the legislatures of the two states for ratification. Gov ernor Murphy recommends similar ao- ton on the part of the New Jersey legislature.
 In compliance and. under suspen- sion of the rules a joint resolution was adopted by both houses inside of half an hour naming Governor Mur- phy, Attorney General McCarter and ex-Senator w. o. Stokes as commis- sion to treat with the Delaware com mission.

Fight Against Regents Renewed mt
 Albany.
 ALBANY, N. Y, March 1.-The bat tie of the educa tional forces of the state on the subject of unifNing the systems now at variance was contin- ued yesterday before the senate com mittee on education, when hearing was had on the measure introduced by Senator Elon R. Brown providing for the creation of a board of education of nine term regents within the present board of regents, which board shall have the power to appoint a superin- tendent of education.
 The hearing was characterized by several sensational incidents and de- veloped the fact that bill on the sub ject of unification will be presented to the legislature from the regents in a day or so.
 Deputy Superintendent of Public In struction Danforth D. Ainswprth adyo- cated the passage of the Brown bill as being the very best plan yet presented to clear the educational atmosphere which, he said had now been clouded by mists of misrepresentation created by the regents and their employees. MT. Ainsworth declared that over $4 ,OO0 had been embedded from the regents and that the person who stole it never was punished
 Secretary J. Russell Parsons of the regents replied to MT. Ainsworth, say ing that the regents had nothing to do with the theft; that $5, 1892 had been taken by dishonest employee who had charge of the stamp account; that the money had been refunded and the employee discharged. Inspector Charles w. Wheelock of the regents also re- piled to MT. AinsWorth, resenting, he said, the implication that the regents had anything to do with taking the | money.
 T did not say that they did," de clared MT. Ainsworth. sI want to stop | that before it goes any further" MT. Ainsworth alleged that various members of the board of regents were active politicians, mentioning Messrs. | Depew, Reid, Lord and Dix. | Superintendent Skinner argued that | his department should be given juris- diction over all high schools and aca- demic departments of all other schools | supported by public funds.

The play is in four acts and nine scenes, written by Bruce Vansant, the we'll known dramatist The company employed is made up of the best melodramatic actors obtain able.
