New Amsterdam Theatre.

The reglar season at the New Ans
terdam Theatre opened last Monday
evening with Harry Bulger in Henry
w. Savage's production of THE Man
From Now" a most unique musical
play written by John Kendrick Bangs
and Vincent Bryan, presented with
an exceptionally brilliant score com
posed by Manuel Klein. Both play
and star made n hit. Mr.. Bulger is
most happily cast as 'Steve Waffles,'
agent of a patent medicine, and re-
peated his previous Broadway sue
cesses. Mr.. Savage has given the
play a most elaborate mounting. The
cast is an excellent one. A score of
small children are introduced in the
second act. The scene is THE Ma
tional Amusement Park, Screamland,
in the year 1905" The children at
their games attracted even more at
tention that did the grown up" play
ers. This engagement of Mr.. Bulger
and his associates is limited to three
more weeks, to be followed October

M PLAY
FINAL GAME.
ChesebrOughs' Management Try
ing to Gather Team TO Play
Only Remaining Game.

But n scheduled game in the
Factory league now remains unplay-
ed. that being a game between the
American Smelling & Refining
Workers and the Chesebroughs.
Manager Swift of the Chesebroughs
said this morning that he is making a
strenuous effort to get a team togeth-
er to play that final game with the
Smelter team. The Pardees and Cop
per Works teams have played all
their fifteen scheduled games, that is,
five with each of the other teams in
the league, and the Chesebrough-A.
S. & r. game, postponed from June
23 on account of rain, is the only
league game not wiped off the sched-
ule, all the other postponed games
having been played Off.
Should the Guggies and Cheese
broughs, by any chance, win their
first game of the season, the Guggies
and Copper Workers would be tied
for second place with eight victories
and seven defeats. Should the
Chesebroughs lose or forfeit the
game, however, the Guggies would
be second in the league by 30 more
points than now, with nine games
won and six lost, a percentage of
900.

HAVE PU Pills
TO CLEAN THE STREET,

TRENTON, Sept. 13:-Because
the local authorities have failed to
keep the streets of the city clean,
Miss Eva Ellis, principal Of the Nc
Clellan school, yesterday put the 600
children and the teachers under her
supervision to work, and within half
an hour the street was given a raking
not to be scorned by New York's
white wings" The street was COW
cred with waste paper and debris,
which had blown from one end to the
other for a week and of which the
authorities took no notice.
All of the teachers assisted in the
work, every member of the school
devoting the recess period to the
task. By the end of the recess the
work had been well done and the
street presented a much improved
appearance. The rubbish was then
collected by the janitor, who de-
stroyed it in a bonfire. A vacant lot
adjoining the school has ben used for
some time as a public dumping
ground. Much waste paper has been
placed there and each passing wind
has blown it about the street. This
vas very annoying to Miss Ellis and
her teachers and they determined to
take matters in their own hands,
having failed to obtain help from the
city. The purpose of the cleaning
was not only to improve the appear
ance of the neighborhood, but also to
instill in the minds of the children
the idea of neatness and decency.

STEAM OR ELECTRIC
MAKES DIFFERENCE.
Question Raised Regarding the Road
Being Built from Midtown to
Elizabeth.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 10
The question as to whether the New
Jersey Short Line would become a
steam railroad or only an electric
road, as the managers claim it will
be, was discussed at the hearing here
before Commissioners J.. K. Rice,
William Edgar and J.. S. Silvers, who
sat to determine the value of two
acres of land desired by the company
for their right of way across the farm
of Charles Elkins.
Lawyer Silzer raised the point that
there was some doubt as to the line
being electric. 1t has been said that
the Wabash railroad would eventual
ly get the line and others have said
that the Pennsylvania railroad would
get 1T. Mr.. Elkins wants $500 for
the land, as he already has the farm
cut up by the tracks of the Raritan
river railroad. He got but $2,117.50,
ana VIII appeal the decision to the
circuit court for action.

The DENVER
IN HARBOR
OF HAVANA.
President Guards Our Citizens
in Cuba GunbOat Goes
to CienfuegOs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-A special
dispatch from Havana says that the
United States protected cruiser Denver
has arrived there. The vessel was
watched with great interest while en-
tering the harbor and saluting, many
of the residents recalling the arrival of
the Maine in Havana harbor just be-
brought about the Spanish-American
war and the ultimate freedom of Cuba.
The powerful Atlantic fleet under the
command of Admiral Evans is on its
way to southern waters.
The army as well as the navy is
ready for instant invasion.
An officer of the highest rank on
duty in Washington said:
"NNhile no orders have been given
for a movement of troops to Cuba, we
would be fools to sit mere and do moth
ing. OF course this question is being
considered"
President Itoosevelt's policy of pre-
paredness for any emergency in Cuba
SO far as the movements of wal YES
sells is concerned was announced at the
state department.
1t includes the sending to Havana of
the protected cruiser Denver and the
gunboat Marietta to Cienfuegos. The
cruiser Des Moines remains ut Key
West, ready to sail at a moments no.
tice.
In making public these facts Acting
Secretary of State Bacon said that
there was no disposition on the part of
this country to force Cuba.
The president is keenly alive to the
progress of the revolutionary move
ment in Cuba and the responsibility of
the United States in ease the condi-
lions grow worse and Intervention be-
come necessary.
1t is known that the president will
not intervene unless it appears abso-
lutely necessary, yet steps have been
taken which would make such inter-
vention effective. The ships that have
been sent to Cuba are there for the
purpose only of protecting American
interests and furnishing an asylum for
Americans who may be in danger from
the warning factions. Actual interview
ton would mean the use of the army,
and all the available forces would no
doubt be needed and will be ready if a
serious situation develops.
