The play is another of those dealing
with a woman who sacrifices everything
for her love. even her honor, and very
little, if any. good can be accomplished
by that character of play. 1t presents
pictures that do no good. either in real
life or ON the stage
Last night the play was accompanied
by the music of the steam pipes. so that
several times the lines of the play were
drowned by the noise.

At the Rijou.

Johnny and Emma Ray opened a
weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre
last night in their successful fun vehicle
of last year, Down the Pike This is
a rollicking musical farce and affords the
two stars many opportunities. Johnny
Ray is seen as Casey comical Irish
ianitor, and he is inimitable in the role
A series of mixed identities, resulting in
three Caseys and two Mr.. Keenes, makes
hilarious fun for two acts. while a stun
ming chorus of girls contribute vivacity
TO the musical specialties. The first act
takes place in an apartment house ruled
in comic and autocratic fashion by Casey.
In the second act the fun is transferred
to the Pike at the st. Louis exposition,
where some pretty scenic effects are OBJ
tanned.
The performance last night was well
received and the Rays were welcomed
back for a return engagement. The COM
pany numbers several favorites seen in
Down the Pike last year. The organi-
cation is a large one and the chorus Is
both shapely and pretty of face. The
costuming is also pleasing feature.
Among the song numbers that won APP
plause were I'm the Janitor.'' IN Do
Anything in This World for YOU" Camp
Meetin' Time" Soldier Boys in Blue"
''Tola," "Snuggle to Me Closer. Down
in the Everglades and "Das Shoene
Gartenhaus.' Parodies and dancing spe-
cialties were introduced by Sam Gold
man.
Partners in the fun were Dan Coleman
as Russell Keene, Ford Sterling as
Escln Sterling the detective, Sam Gold
man as Jack Noble. Grace Cummings as
Fleurette, Harry Thornton as Hapy
Wilder and others.
The comedy of the Rays and their
capable company kept everybody in a
good hurnor last night. Down the
Pike" is a funny show and bids fair
to duplicate its successful engagement
here last year

AND LAWLESS ACT.
So the Action of the Common Council Is
Described by the Rev. E. C. Mason.

1.-THE Sabbath Law: Can 1t Be Abol-
ished by a Common Council" was the
subject of a sermon by the Rev. Edgar
C. Mason, pastor of the Fewsmith Me-
mortal Church, yesterday morning, in
which he declared the action of the
Common Council in passing the ordi-
nance to permit the sale of liquor from
l to IL p. m. Sunday was AN absurd
and lawless act" He said in part:
If the action of the Common Council
was not a step toward anarchy" he said,

ONLY o DRINKS NOW
AT SENATOR KEAN'S CLUB
But the Mattano in Elizabeth Hopes
to Get a License Before the
Week Is Over.

ELIZABETH, July 22.-The richest

United States Senator Kean, Congress-
man Charles n. Fowler and many other
well known men, will very likely be re-
fused a license to sell liquor, at the

Of legal obstacles.
The Mattano Club, like most all other
clubs, until recently sold or dispensed
liquor to it's members. Since the agita-
ton against all the liquor interests In
Elizabeth a ruling has been made that
clubs cannot sell or give away liquor
without a license and the Mattano was
compelled to put in it's application, the
members in the meantime having to
content themselves with buttermilk.
The act relating to social clubs,
passed by the Legislature of 1901, says
that a club. to be granted a license,
must occupy an entire building. The

law, 1t has only privileges for which It Is
required to pay. The courts of the land
have said this so often that il has become
commonplace In view of his the cry that
personal liberty Is violated because the
saloon is not allowed to run on Sunday
Is absurd: The case grows still stronger
with the fact that Sunday, being a holiday,
is the one day of all the week when So
ciety most needs to be on its guard against
the perils and temptations of the drink
evil. 1t Is not only q holiday, but a holy
day, set apart by God for worship. In
view of all this the demand that this
traffic be allowed to run for seven days in
the week is worse than unreasonable. II
Is insolent.
Other States are far ahead OF New Jer-
sey in temperance legislation. Georgia
has become a prohibition State. Kentucky,
in ninety-f1ve of Its lis counties. does not
allow either the manufacture OF sale OF
intoxicants. The citizens of these States
have been moved to this, not because they
were fanatics, but because they think
more OF their homes and their children
than they do of their appetites. While
other communities are making progress In
this matter, the City Council of Newark
comes with the amazing. demand that
even the day set apart for worship be
| sacrificed to the liquor traffic. How are
we to explain It? The idea is not an
American product. Some of our best citl-
| zens have come to us from other nations
but along with them have come many
whose notions of personal liberty are not
ours. Held down under a despotism IN
the Olu country, Lney nave THOUGHT Alleri-
can freedom the right to dc as they
pleased, and now they threaten our institu-
tons.
1 am not saying that all our foreign
born citizens favor an opel Sunday, nor
that all our native born oppose it,, but !
am saying that this demand for Sunday
saloons was not born In America.
Against those who would thrust them
on us, I quote Saint Peter in the text.
We want no freedom in America that dis
honors God. that would set aside divine
law. To those who come to us from Other
lands and use this liberty as servants Of
God, we say, Thrice welcomed" But to
those who make it a cloak of malicious
ness, we say, ''This government was not
founded for you. The battles which have
been fought and the blood shed were not
to give a home to the ideas you represent
Our flag was never meant to protect a
traffic that dishonors God and desecrates
the day He has hallowed both by precept
and example. Every effort to destroy our
institutions we will resist to the bitter end.
This is not continental Europe; this is
kAmerica, the land of the free and the
home of the brave; the land of liberty,
but not the land of license"
