THE NAVY FAILED TO SCORE
A TIE GAME PLAYED WITH
DICKINSON TEAM.
A Poor Exhibition of Foot Ball Is
Given By Both Visitors
And M:ddieS.

Dickinson College and Navy played
a tie game Saturday afternoon that
was notable for the many fumbles
and offside plays made by both teams.
In the first part of the game Navy lost
q snlendid chance for a touchdown by
fumbling the ball when within three
wards of Dickinson's goal line.
The feature of the game were the
line bucking of Klingtsine and Davis
for Dickinson and Gray for the Navy.
The whole of the first half consisted
of fumbles ana offside plays that lost
more for Dickinson than for Navy.
In the second half Dickinson braced up
and gave the Middies tussle. The
fumbling and offside plays by the
Navy in this half were the worst ever
seen on the Academy field and prob
ably accounts for the poor showing
made by the Navy after defeating
Princeton last week. During the last
part of the game Grady, who proved
to be the best ground gamer for the
Navy. was put out of the game for
slugging.
The principal feature of the game
was the weak defense of the Middies.
The Dickinson players repeatedly
smashed through for good gains, and
on three or four occasions only did the
Middies hold for downs. Aside from
the chance the visitors had to score in
the second half they also had another
This was in the first half, when they
had the bail on Navy's 25-yard line.
Navy at this point held strong and
Davis, who tried for a field goal from
placement, failed. The poor work of
the Middies on Saturday may be at
tributed partly to the fact that the
back fields is in much unsettled con-
dition. due to the injuries of Root and
Douglass, both of whom have broken
legs, and Spencer, who is out nursing
slight injury.
On the whole, however, the work
was bad, even their tackling being
weak. The usual big crowd witnessed
the game, and among the spectators
was Secretary of the Navy Morton,
who was on a visit to Superintendent
Brownson. The crowd was the largest
that has yet attended game at the
Academy this season, and the day
was an ideal one for the game.
West Point defeated Yale Saturday
in the annual football struggle. The
score was IL to 6. 1t was the first time
the Army has ever won from Yale, and
there was much rejoicing Saturday
night IN the Army camp. The sol
diers' two touchdowns were the re-
suits of long runs and quick work in
taking advantage of their opponents
mistakes. A delegation of naval Off
GERS from the Naval Academy watched
the game and cheered West Points
victory.

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS
CONSIDERABLE INTEREST
IN CASES SHOWN.
Alleged Murderer Arraigned In
Court Before Judge
James Revell.

Several pleas were entered in the
Circuit Court this morning in a
variety of cases Only one was of a
particular serious nature, although
all were felOnies The attedance in
Court seems TO be growing daily and
considerable interest is taken in the
MANY cases, some of which have
been hanging fire for months. Judge
Revell presided.
OF most interest to the spectators,
apparently. was the case of Julius
alias Tots Cooper. colOred. charged
with murder. It is alleged that he
shot and killed George Harris, also
colored, in July last. The two men
were good friends and had worked
together for years. The shooting, and
what later developed murder, was
committed in the rear of a saloon
aud followed a night of carousing.
Cooper pleaded not guilty Co the
charge through his attorneys Robert
Moss and W. Hallam Claude Mr..
Il. q. CAN'T appeared for the state
and offered no objection to a reason
able continuance. It is thought that
efforts will be made TO secure
change of venue.
Hall Spencer, charged with larceny,
pleaded not guilty and secured CON
tinuance.
A plea of not guilty was also en-
tered by Frank Cocker. charged with
grand larceny. 1t is alleged that he
appropriated a horse, buggy and
harness. the property of Il. I. Ham
mond, and valued at $500.
John Jackson, charged with the
theft of a watch from Alberta Paoh,
entered plea of not guilty. His
case will be heard shortly.
A rather sad case is that Of Emma
Rossman, a white girl. She is charged
with burglary. 1t is alleged that
she entered the residence of Roland
Phelps and possessed herself of sew
eral dresses. The girl is practically
without friends and great commits
seration is expressed by the court Off
GERS over her condition. She enter
ed plea of not guilty when the charge
was read to her, but did not seem TO
appreciate the seriousness of her con-
dition.
Burglary was the charge ON which
w. Dorsey was arraigned. The indiot-
ment read to him stated that he had
forcibly entered the residence of Ben
iamin Jones and secured variety of
articles. He entered the specious plea
that ne nau Appropriated the BOoub
but that the house was not locked.
He denied force in gaining an en-
trance. The offense is said TO have
been committed on September % last.
Owing to the nature of his statement
the Court entered for him the general
plea of not guilty.
An appeal case of more or less inter
est was that of Swan Ohaney, who had
been found guilty in a justice court
and fined 81 and for trespass. In ap-
pealing from the decision of the JUS
tice he claimed that the warrant on
which he had had been arrested and
the information on which it was is
sued was faulty, insomuch that it did
not state whether or not the trespass
was committed ON land which had OF
had not been posted. Judge Revell
was of the opinion that the point was
we'll taken and judgment was reversed.

GHOSTS CLEVERLY PLAYED.
Ibsen's Classical Production Scores a
Point At The Colonial
Theatre.

Ibsen's "Ghosts, classical pro-
duction with a great moral lesson,
was presented here Saturday night at
the Colonial Theatre. The play teaches
the effects of the everlasting laws of
heredity. That the "sins of the
parents fall upon the children, TO the
third and fourth generation is strong
ly depicted throughout the production.
While the lines are broad. there is
nothing Extensively suggestive 60 re-
fined and intelligent audience, and
there were but few we'll thinking peo-
pie who left the theatre without being
deeply impressed by the lessons taught
by the play, which shows there are
ghosts of sin both within and without
humanity that even the laws of hered-
ity do not excuse the victim from
striving against. The play appeals TO
mothers who have sons in the world
fighting life's battles, and it teaches
torcibly that parents should warn
their sons of the dangers and deadly
consequences of sin, aud not like
MRS Alving'' of the play, only hold
up ideals before their sons Withholding
the real truth until il is too late.
Only five characters are in the cast.
Pastor Manders is imperSonated by
Mr.. Allen Davenport, a relative of
the Maryland and Virginia Daven-
ports He is a good character, but
his voice is at times thick and indis-
tinct. AS Jacob Engstrand, Mr..
George r. Bello was fairly good, but
he was not so strong a character as
Mr. Ravold, who appeared here in
this role last year. Miss Rose Curry
was a good Regina. She was seen
here last year in the same character.
AS Oswald, Mr.. Claus Bogel did
fine acting. He was the typical i'm
personator of one sowed- his wild
oats. young man, the son of a dissolute
father, whose sins had been visited
upon the boy in all their awfulness.
Mr.. Oswald's death scene was exceed
ingly well depicted, and the mechan-
ical effect of the Sunlight" enhanced
the realism.
The star, Miss Adelaide Fitz Allen,
is an artist. AS "Mrs. Alving,' a
difficult role for young woman, her
work was finished and bore the stamp
of artistic stagecraft. Miss Fitz Allen
has beautiful, sweet and melodious
voice, but distinct and can be heard
in every part of the house. There is
nothing exaggerated in her scenes
with her boy and the Pastor, for her
acting is at all times smooth and easy
and while she carries out the drama
lists idea, there is nothing Overdone.
The play is an unusual one, and
Ibsen, from whose writings the masses
have held aloof, gives promise,
through Ghosts of increasing great
ness and popularity.

FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1904.

New Brunswick can expect little
results from her public schools as long
as they remain in their present de-
moralized state. With teachers and
principal bitterly opposed 10 each
other, one marking the averages Of a
pupil and other the changing the
MARKS; with protests against ono an.
other going to the Board of Education
and each accusing the other of con
spiracy, the conditions seem to be
about as bad as they can be. This
cannot help but result in a detriment
to the pupils and a complete democrat,
izing of the school system. While
one is accusing the other of being in
the wrong, the Board of Education
should see that the whole thing is
wrong and the best interests of the
scholars should demand that it DO
ended, even if the designations of all
concerned had 70 be requested.

OR. MENDEHHALL's RESIGNATION.

In the resignation of Rev. DR.. II.
G. M"endenhall, not only have the
Presby terians of this city lost a faith
full pastor and an eloquent preacher,
but Perth Amboy has lost a worker
for the advancement of the oiJy lin
all lines of municipal improvement.
DR.. Mendenhall believed that the
pulpit could be used TO advocate any
thing that is good, whether political
or spiritual and he frequently preach
ed on topics of the day, the great
questions, although not directly con-
nected with religious thought, yet
which must DO met and settled by
God fearing mon. He has not hest
tated to take an active part both, in his
pulpit and out, in all local matters,
the fire department, the police, con-
dition of the streets and especially the
historical land marks, He has done
much to arouse public interest in
these affairs.
DIR. Mendenhall is n historian as
we'll as u preacher and, in this city,
he found excellent material upon
which to work. Since coming here
he has given his congregation a COM
plete history of the Presbyterian
church in this city and he has now,
partly completed, q history of the
city. Has work in behalf of the old
Westminster property cannot be fo:-
gotten The people of Perth Amboy
regret that he is about to leave them.
They earnestly hope that his health
may be restored to him and that he
may have abundant Success in his
future fields of labor.
The excise board did well last nigh
in rejecting a renewal of q license
against which such a strong protes
was made. AS long as the law license
it, no one can expect the saloon to b.
abolished. but public sentimen
should govern the location and tn
kind Of q place that shall be kept
A excise board which is conducte'
in the interest of the people and no
run by q brewery is a credit to an,
city and it is evident that Perth Am
