Fagan's Boom to the People.

One interesting feature of Mayor Fa-
gan's new crusade against the trolley
company has probably not impressed
many people. Very likely it has never
occurred to his Honor himself.
The North Jersey Street Railway COM
pany has long pleaded poverty as its
reason for not giving the public an ideal
service. 1t is short on cars and power
and the reason, it claims, is that it has
not money to buy the one or develop the
other on any large scale.
The great consolidation under the wing
Of the Publis Service Corporation was
to put an end to this condition. The
new combine was to have unlimited
money, and it was to buy cars, build
power houses, extend tracks, and gener
ally bring about a transportation milen-
MUM in Hudson and Essex County.
Diseounting the promises which are usu-
ally made at such times, it is still prob
able that the new company would have
introduced enormous improvements in a
short time. We believe there would have
been this summer great Improvement
in the service on the congested Jersey
City lines.
Now. we presume, the first effect of
Mayor Fagan's splurge win be to make
this impossible, For, even if the console
dation deal goes through. the new COM
pany win not be apt to spend much
money until its title to the properties
is rendered indefensible by decision of
the courts. The notion that twill spend
money on cars lines, which, after all,
it may not own is proposition within
the realm of the absurd.
Thus, whatever other subjects Of graf
itude may exist, now or in the future, the
people Of Jersey City assuredly have
Mayor Fagan to thank for another year
of crowed and infrequent cars.
Surely this is boon which ought te
win an enthusiastic denomination and re
election for our spry little Chief Magis
frafe.

son, acted exceedingly well and proved
that there is a fund of humor in him on
which he can always draw checks if he
is only provided with place to cash
them.
But the cleverest performance was fur
rished by May yokes, who, in the part
of a clumsy, vain and amiably ignorant
'slavey." created an eccentric charac-
ter which kept the audience in gales Of
laughter. Arnold DAILY, as an effusive
French painter, Mabel Dixey. daughter
of the statuesque Henry e., as French
fiirt; Anita Bridges, Sidney Herbert and
dozen others all had something to do
and did il well.
The redemption Of Percy Merrill, the
prodigal, began in the first act when,
surprised by his father while entertain
ing fast crowd in game of roulette,
he voluntarily disowned himself to prove

to find out who were the false friends
who associated with him only for his
money.
Various vicissitudes landed him and
his true friend, the painter, in the third
act, in cheap bachelor quarters, where
cooking was forbidden. The inventive
genius of the prodigal led him tot con-
ceal an entire kitchen outfit in various
articles of baggage. with the aid of
which a process of surreptitious house
keeping was indulged in. which, if put
to practical use. would solve the ever
present problem of the Harlem fat sys-
TEN of existence
Love interest, not of the wishyw washy
sort, crept in with various other anus
ing complications, and the whole was
dovetailed into an evening of capital
entertainment.
There were speechmaking and other
earmarks of an auspicious event. Even
these were in good taste. The audience
was one of the best.

2,Sg5 leased and protected billboards, the
greatest number to be found in any one
distinct field in the world. On account
of majority of these boards being 80
well placed they are in constant demand.
These boards are leased to the advertiser
at so much per lineal foot, according to
location and the length of time they are
in service. On the meadows every bill
board pays rental to the owners OF the
land. This rental amounts TO- fifty cents
a year for every lineal foot occupied. and
figures up qite handsome sum to the
landowners.
Besides the billboards there are in the
Newark territory 3,o64 special three
sheet bulletins and T21 painted sign
boards. some of which are of unusual
size For example. on the Hackensaek
Meadows stands an enormous wooden
barrel that is one Of the highest sign
boards in the country, and can be seen
for miles around. In the painting of
these signboards great artistic skill is
frequently displayed, and the wages paid
to an expert in the art averages very
high. The leading sign painter in New
ark receives 81 day, and many of them

bound to renew posters that have been
washed off by rain and to rebuild sign
boards when they become dilapidated and
weather beaten In fact, the agents are
the owners of the sign boards, merely
leasing them to the advertisers for
specified term. Naturally it is to their
interest to look after the maintenance Of
their properly, and one man devotes most
of his time in tours of inspection. With
the aid of powerful road horse and a
comfortable wagon he thinks nothing Of
covering thirty miles day.
The meadow district requires his par
tieular attention, for there the bill boards
are peculiarly exposed to the rage of the
elements. Over that level tract the wind
meets with nothing to break its force,
aud frequently the entire region is mum
dated by rise in the tide. signboards
are blown down, or sink beneath the wa
ter and it behooves their owners to raise
them with the least possible delay. For.
during the period they are not in evil
dence all income from them ceases.
Not long ago the enormous painted
barrel, that looms above the meadows so
conspicuously, was laid low by wind
storm. As if this was not enough, the
tide rose and completely covered it.
While it remained under water no rental
was derived from it, and vet it had cost
the builder a very considerable sum to
erect. When the water subsided, he lost
no time in propping it into place, but he
derived no revenue from his barrel that
year for its cost of maintenance had ex-
ceded its rental

Madison Square Theatre.

The hard luck story of the poor little
Madison Square suffered another joyful
interruption last night, for a Fool and
His Money" played for the first time,
gave convincing evidence almost from
the start that its author, George II.
Broadhurst and his money will not soon
be parted, said the New York World. !.
1t is one of the two farces of the year
that have been really worth while.
There was not moment during the
four acts when the right word, spoken
al the right, time, would have wound up
the story. In spite of the title the char
acters were NOT fools, and the author
was not ungracions enough to presup-
Pose that the people in the audience
were. A good deal of chaff sometimes
hid the grains of humor, but they spar
kled, and, thanks to his clever technical
construction. tho characters were al
ways on the move and constantly ac-
complishing something.
The fun, too, was scrupulously clean.
Thus do our American farce writer's diff.
fer from their Partisan contemporaries
who furnish the fodder for the boule-
wards that is afterwards ground up into
American hash.
The play was greatly assisted by an
unusually clever cast. Jameson Lee Fin

The Boundary Question.
In communication to tile New York Tribune. Frederick w. Sew

In communication to tlfe New York Tribune. Frederick w. Sew ard. a son of Secretary Seward who was largely responsible for the pur- chase of Alaska from Russia. has the following to say in regard to Canada.'s claim that Skagway and Dyea belong to her:
 If Great Britain k entitled to those harbors and towns, the same line of reasoning would entitle her to Long Island sound, New York and Brooklyn! The fact is that Canada wants them because she wants them-there Is no other req son. Secure in the protection of the mother country, she reaches out, like q spoiled child, to grasp at everything in sight, and expects her indulgent parent to bear the brunt of any struggle about it.
 The greed of this irresponsible de- pendent province, having no diplo- matic powers or standing, may be comprehendcd. but it is amazing that the public men of England, her scholars, her statesmen and governors, should allow themselves to be used as the tail of Canada's kite. They are sincerely anxious, as we are, to maintain that era of good feeling between the two great branches of the English speaking race, so full of promise for the worlds peace and advancement, yet they are letting these provin- cial schemers drag them into dispute that threatens to endanger that international entente cordiale. Canada Is placing the wedge to drive the two nations asunder. She plants it at the head of the Lynn channel, and calls out to Britannia, "Now, mother, strike hard, and we willsplit 'em apartw Great Britain may consent and strike hard, but if she does she is opening the way for another confct that will stag ger humanity" That the Ameri- can people will ever consent to surrender their towns and harbors to a power that has not shadow of right to them is a thing not to be allowed.'
