The coming of Miss Amelia Bingham in "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson now running at the Princess theater, New York, to the Hyperion on Saturday, May g, matinee and night, is of interest not alone because the play is another example of the versatility of Amefica's s most noted playwright, Clyde Fitch, but also in view of the fact that the actress-manager's productions always enlist the services of a most excellent group of actors. The scene of MT. Fitch's play is laid in Paris during the carnival and it's characters are typical of the gay American colony there. "The F'risky Mrs Johnson" is consider ed to be conceived in MT. Fitch's hap piest vein and the frothy side oe cos- mopolitan life abroad is happily depict ed. While the story is replete with comedy. there is a charming and serious love story interwoven with the lighter episodes. The scenery is by Gilbert Physioc and the gowns are by Worth and Pacouin, the production in it's en- tirety vieing with 'The Climbers and "A Modern Magdalen" which establish ed standards never previously attained and rarely equalled. Seat sale Thursday. Prices $1.50, $1, 75c.

To- night, Hamlet" and tomorrow mati- nee and night "Othello."

He was dis covered by some Fifth avenue artists during their Excursions through the quarter in search os models, and his genius was appreciated.

porters, Il have simply asked for the facts in
his possession about these cases. Whether or
not blackmail can be exterminated is an aca-
demic question. but in any specific case or

therefore be very glad to get any assistance
from Magistrate Hogan.

BEDBUGS; NO RENT.
Court Holds That House Mast Be
Fit for Occupancy.

Asbury Park, n. J.. Aug. 14-The Monmouth
ing decision in the noted "bedbug' case,
action brought by Lambert Alpaugh. of Tren-
ton, against the First Congregational Church
of this city, to recover $175 rent on a lease of
Alpaughs cottage. No. 514 Monroe-ave. The
case was tried before the Common Pleas Court
about six weeks ago, and involved the novel
question as to whether landlord could recover
rent for a house infested with bedbugs.
1t appeared that the pastor of the church.
who was to occupy the cottage. had to leave it
ten days after taking possession, on account,
it was alleged of the pests and it was contend
ed by the defendant that under the law
lease for a furnished house carried with it
warranty that it was fit for occupancy.
Judge Heisley, who writes the opinion re-
verses the decision of the lower court and re-
moves the judgment recovered by the plaintiff
holding that the landlord cannot recover.
1t is believed that this is the first adjudica-
ton in New-Jersey this subject, and it is
said the case will be appealed to the Supreme
Court. There is no precedent in New-Jersey
involving a similar question but the counsel
for the defendant cited an English case, that
of Smith vs. Marrable Lord Abinger Chief

doubt that the furnishing and fittings of a
