The Rays in New Riotous Farce.


 The Rays-Johnny and Emma-in their new musical farce King Casey" will appear at the New Haven theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week and at the matinee Saturday For three seasons the Rays have been provoking fun and laughter in their riotous farce, Down the Pike" but their present offering, which is from the pen of that prolific comedy writer, Aaron Hoffman, is said to offer stiN greater possibilities, which of course have been seized upon by the irresis- ttble comedians. In the new farce Mir. Ray appears In dual role. At the opening he is discovered as fireman of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York. While following the duties of fireman he discovers his long lost brother Pat is stopping at the hotel with his reti- nue, he, through some peculiar ciroum- stance having been proclaimed king of the island of Lalla Pa zaza. The two twins get into all sorts of complica- tions, which provoke no end of merri- ment and fun. Later the king falls in love with Goldie Mine, a western heiress Cthe role allotted to Mrs. Raw and persuades Casey, the fireman, to return to the island in his place. Casey consents and though his troubles are numerous at the hotels he finds them slight compared to the strenuous prob lems with which he has to cope as king. He not only finds the court in conspiracy against the king but he has the difficult role of husband to forty wives to fulfill. It is needless to say MT. Ray makes the most of the many excellent fun possibilities and his meth- ods are all times found humorous and laugh provoking. The advance sale Is now open and seats are in good de- mand.

Judge Joseph E. Jones, who sue
ceeds Judge Maiden on the bench
III this judicial district, has been
holding court here for the past
two weeks. His charge to the jury
upon the converting of court was
strong, even more rigid than those
made by his predecessor, and en-
braced the entire calendar of of.
lenses as applied to this court.
His language was also plain and
unmistakable. The findings of the
jury will no doubt be governed by
these instructions, and should these
gentlemen be as diligeDt in their
work the guilty will be brought
to justice and the innocent be not
accused. In the proceedings Judge
Jones has shown himself to be fa-
miliar with the law and the proper
administration of legal processes.
He responds readily and compre-
hensively to the interposition of
objections by attorneys, and his
judgment seems to be meeting
with general satisfaction. We had
the utmost confidence in Judge
Maiden, at the same time he has
most assuredly worthy successor.

HOME ENTERPRISE.

The efforts OF the gentlemen
who met last Monday night and
organized themselves into Re-
tail Merchants Association should
be heartily commended. The pur.
poses of the organization are of
the greatest Importance TO the
citizens of Union City, and we
earnestly hope that it is not the
beginning of flash, like many
other patriotic impulses of a
short. lived nature. This organi-
cation is needed, and we believe it
is composed of gentlemen who
have the quality of endurance and
determination to proceed with any
practical proposition. The idea
set forth is the advancement and
upbuilding of our commercial and
industrial interests.
On this line we have written
and INDUCED great many dreams
of future greatness. A few have
been realized. Most of them have
been blasted. 1t is, however, a
source infinite qualification that
nearly every retail merchant in
town has joined this body.
One of the things that the city
and county needs as much as any
thing in the world is good roads,
and it is our opinion that a hard
road from this city to Samburg on
Reelfoot Lake, built by private
subscription and enterprise, would
be of more value to the business
interests of Union City than any
thing in the line of railroad build
ing. Private subscription is sug-
gested because there is no hope of
an early solution of this question
by public assessments. Of course
we expect the idea to be ridiculed.
In the first place it would cost
$4,000 to construct such a |
road, and we have no hope of any
thing but the privilege of realizing
the suggestion. If nothing more,
it is space. killer, but the conclu-
sion is that railroad enterprise
would be failure from the fact
that it would belong mainly to a
railroad corporation, and therefore
the rates would be excessive, and |
prohibitive, whereas the
hard road would give the people
from large scope of country west
of town easy access to market
and to our trade. 1t is a costly
scheme, it is true, but Union City
could afford it. The returns would
be ample and it would mean flu
ture for us and an example to the
county. When was ever anything
of value received without reason
able COST If such work is
cheaply done it is useless, but
hard road properly constructed
from here to the Lake would be
great and lasting improvement
and q never-ending advantage to
our trade. 1t would pay us to
build it.
