The royal train drew into the sta

home of General Linares. at which
the officers of the Austrian squadron

Barcelona is gaily decorated. The
balconies along the route of the King

thronged with women wearing the
black mantillas for which the beauties
of Spain are famous. There were flow
ers liz %profusion, and the scene was
festive and beautiful. The King bowed
in response 20 the greetings, and some
of the black-eyed Spanish women were,
with difficulty, restrained from disobey-
ing the strict injunctions OF the police
against showering the young monarch
with flowers.

Assemblyman Martin introduces
Bill Placing Power with
Financial Boards.
HERE IT WOULD RESTORE
RIGHT TO COMMON COUNCIL.
Measure Is i'm Line with Suggesa
tons Made by Comptroller
Bachelor.
[speclal % the Eyenlng Star. !

TRENTON, March 10.-Majority
Leader William p. Martin, of Essex.
! introduced into the House last night a
cities of the first class in this State
from issuing bonds without tho consent
and approval of the recognized hnan-
cial boards of the city.
This bill is aimed at Newark and
Jersey City, he. only first class cities
in the State. In this city it would be
of great Importance, as it would take
out of the hands of the Board of Works
the authority to issue the 81, 900, 900 in
bonds for the erection of municipal
docks, and for the reclamation of the
meadows, restoring this right to the
Common Council. In Jersey City it
would take from the various commits
sions the right to spend money with
out the authorization of thu Board of
Finance, and would practically tie up
work now under way in the Hud-
son County city.
At the recent meeting of the commit
tee on legislation of the Common Coun :
Gil here, Comptroller j. Harry Bachel-
Ter suggested that bill identical with
the Martin bill be prepared. and the
committee approved and directed City
Counsel James r. Nugent and Mr..
Bachelor to draw the bill. If the
Martin bill is lost the bill prepared in
this city will be introduced.
BY the Lane dock bill, passed last
year and approved by a referendum
vote at the last general election, the
Board of Works was authorized to
issue 81, 900, 600 for the erection of docks.
The issue OF these bonds was left en-
tirely with the board, the Mayor or
the Common Council having no power
in the matter. and the $1,000, 900 could
have been saddled on the city at once
if the Board of Works had wished 10
do SO. Frank j.. Book, president of the
Board of Works, however, has been
very conservative, and only little
money has been expended.

BOTH FALL TOGETHER
Animal Dashed Along Springfield
Avenue, Dragging Cop, Who
Wouldn't Let Go.

William II. Meyer, of 259 Rose street,
was driving a spirited horse attached
to a runabout at Springfield and Eigh-
teenth venue last night when the
horse took fright and bolted down the
avenue
Policeman Harms, of the First Pre-
cinct Station, seeing the swaying rig
approaching, ran out into the street
to stop the runaway. He sprang at the
horses head, seized the bride and held
on.
The animal swerved suddenly and
Meyer was thrown out OF the vehicle
to which the horse was attached.
Harms was dragged along the cobble-
stones. He succeeded at last in throw
ing the horse, and they went down to-
gether. Passersby jumped for the
horses head and held him down while
Harms went to Meyers assistance.
Meyer refused to go to a hospital and
Harms took him to his home.

EMpIRE-"THE JOLLY GIRLS"

Edmond Hayes, in a musical farce in
two acts, entitled THE Wise Guy
given in connection with 'The Jolly

Theatre last night. The skit was writ
ten by George M. Cohan, and is a
good example of that clever comedians
work. Mr.. Hayes, as Spike Hennessyr
a hobo character, is amusing and the
coinpany supporting him comes up to
expectations.
While the first act is good, the sec
ond is better, and Mr.. Hayes as a
fake millionaire, assisted by Stella Gill
more, is great
The chorus contains a number of
w~ell-shaped women, whose charms are
very freely displayed. The song hit of
the evening, ITS Nice to Be a Soldier
5 Man. created much amusement. Dur
ing its singing Mr.. Hayes gets in some
very fine whacks with a barrel stave
on the different soldier ladies, and
sends the audience into spasms OF
laughter.

and, undoubtedly, Kellar and
Thlrston are the cleyerest in their line
of work. They entertained an audience
at the Newark Theatre for two hours
and q hall last night, and, so doing,
accomplished a considerable feat. For
to spread an entertainment so restricted
lin character over so long an interval
and keep everybody interested really is
a formidable task. With practically
everybody present last night Kellar
and Thurston to all seeming succeeded.
Their tricks were followed with eager
and puzzled attention throughout.
Kellar, rs everybody knows, is a
genial fellow. with a bit of an accent
and a head as innocent of hair as a
billiard ball. His running comment on
his Experiments helps to anuse the
people and distract their attention. He
performed all kinds of caro- tricks ami
other legerdemain, including such
stunts as causing a rose bush to grow
in "a few seconds from the seed to full
bloom lin full view of the audience"
The familiar trick of deviation" the
raising of the rigid body of a woman
several feet in the air without visible
means of support, excited the usual
wonderment. The Spectre Cabinet
was a most effective and ghostly illu-
sion, consisting of tho apparition of a
turbaned Turk, whose form and sub
stance. until he stepped out of the
cabinet, seemed to consist solely of
thin air.
Thurston is a much yonger man and
scarcely less clever than his com
panion. His tricks were many and
varied and amusing. and some of them
were novel. The combined entertain
ment was excellent of it's class, and
there are probably few theatregoers
who could not derive some enjoyment
from it.

Does the Black Hand Exist?

In some comments ON the Black
Hand society in this State the Will
Transport News says: Notwithstand-
ing that some people scout the idea
that there is in this country an organ
ization known as the Black Hand it is
only necessary to read the newspapers
to discover that such an organization
exists and that it has its ramifications
in every part OF the Commonwealth
where ingorant and debased foreign
ers reside. The discovery in Pitts
burg of school in which young It.
alians were being taught to murder
for profit or revenge ought to be suffi-
cient to prove that the Black Hand is
a real thing and that it has been re-
ceiving recruits in large numbers con-
stantly. In the Pittsburg case nine
teen young Italians were found in a
club house, all of them under the
tutelage of two older oountrymen who
were instructing the lads in the var.
ious methods of killing persons whom
it was desired to get rid of Such a
condition of affairs certainly calls for
the most determined efforts possible
TO suppress an evil which, if not sup
pressed, will increase as months and
years come and go.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s
