FOR BANDITS CAPTURE.
Notice Posted Here in Regard to

One of the biggest rewards ever Of
fered for the capture Of criminals is

at the various precincts throughout the
city. The reward is offered by the
Great Northern Railroad Company for

Wash, on the night of May Is. The
sum of $50. 900, or $40, 900 for the capture
of each man, is offered by the railroad
company, and, in addition to this, the
government offers 1000 each for the
capture of the men who rified h mail
bags.
Although there is small chance that
any IF the bandits will work East as
far, as Newark, some Of the more am
bilious members of the force have had
their weather eye open since the re-
ward has been posted, n are conf
dent that they would be able to recog-
nize the men should they by chance
make their appearance in this city.

c%omplacency and sophistication is in
such violent contrast to his country
dude clothes that to look at him is to
laugh. His explanations of how he

the role of the summer boarder. and
William H. Barry, as Gid Smart, the
slightly daffy farm hand.
Sydney Deane n company present
a clever little singing sketch, Christ
mas on B~lackwelrs Island" The scene
shows three cells, very much occupied,
with a dudish trusty in the foreground.
The quartet sings well and relates new
and old jokes pleasingly.
The Reiff brothers appear in a bright
singing and dancing act, and Fred
card presents a rather good monologue
in a rather monotonous manner.
Almost as funny as Barry's sketch
is that presented by the Burrows-Lan-
caster Company, Like Father, Like
Son." A millionaire broker and his
son have each married into the ranks
of ehorusgir.dom, and each is trying to
break the news automatically to the
other. The situations that develop are
decidedly ludicrous. The cast consists
of James O. Barrows, John Lancaster,
May Stockton and Bruno Johnson-a
girl, by the way.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
CAUSE OF RADEL FIRE.
Japanning Department of the
Leather Plant Destroyed.

Spontaneous combustion was the fea.
son assigned for the fire which yester-
day destroyed the japanning depart
ment of the John Radel Leather COM
pany, at Hamburg place and Ball
street. The loss will amount to $4,000,
but is fully covered by insurance. The
building is held to be worth 81, 900 and
the stock $4,000.
The plant was a frame structure and
made a spectacular fire, its combustibls
materials causing the flames to shoot
high in the air. The other buildings
were saved because of the thick brick
walls. The fire was a hard blow to the
firm, it having a large number of orders
on hand. Building operations will be-
gin Immediately, the new plant being
made of brick. Traffic on the Central
railroad was tied up because of hose
stretched across the tracks.

Patrons of Hillside Pleasure Park are
being treated this week to an enter
tanning show in Demarest's So
ciety Circus and Wild West. The pro-

lures of interest. Margaret Kelly, a
9-year-old Newark tot. is attracting

BIJOU THEATRE AUDIENCE WELL
ENTERTAINED IN ORANGE.

The audience yesterday at the Bijou
Theatre, Orange, seemed thoroughly to
enjoy the attractive program offered.
Tom Fletcher and his two dusky as
sistants proved to be the favorites.
Fletcher's comedy bears a strong re-
semblance to that of Bert Williams and
his various songs were rewarded with
several recalls. Grace Childers is an
~effervescent little soubrette. Her cos
tunes were natty and her work was
we'll received. The Vedmars had a
good comedy horizontal bar act. Wes-
colt and Phillips were pleasing in their
eccentric musical act, and the moving
pictures were interesting.
1t will be a big night for the italian
residents of the Oranges at the Bijou
tomorrow. On this occasion Michael
Zarrillo will show his friends what he
can do in the way of lifting heavy
weights, stone breaking and various
other feats of strength.

Les C0ntes d'HOffmann Makes a
Pleasing Impression-WelI
Staged and Sung.
MISS JULIA HUME SHOWS
A FLEXIBLE SOPRANO

"URNING from the familiar paths
of the standard grand operas,
the Aborn Company, at the
Newark Theatre last night, entered
the field of opera comique, presenting
for the first time in this city Often
bach's Les Contest d'Hoffmann' (The
Tales of Hoffmann). The English YER
sion by Charles A. Byrne was given,
the opera made a pleasing im-
preston, being well sung and cred
itably staged.
The story and music were perhaps
unknown to most of the audience, and
the novelty of a first hearing was
therefore interesting. The questions
which many brought to the theatre
were, What was the opera all about?"
n What was the music like?" They
found, briefly stated, that the libretto
concerned the three experiences in
love of Hoffman,, a young poet, who
recited his tales to his admiring
friends around a punch-bowl in the
tavern of Martin Luther. The pro-
logue and epilogue take place in the
tavern. the three acts each dealing
with the actual presentation of his
three low affairs.
In his first affaire d'mour Hoffman,
falls in love with Olympia, the supposed
daughter of DR.. ~Spalanzani, but
Olympia turns out to be an automaton,
sold to the physician by a DR.. Cop
pelius. Hoffman, Is stunned when
Coppelius, in anger over payment for
the life-size talking and singing doll.
smashes it and thus ends the poets
first romance. In his second. which
was cut out by the Aborns, he is fooled
by Giulietta, a Venician, who runs off
with another. In the third, Hoffman
falls in love with Antonio. daughter OF
Crespel, but she dies through the
Svengali-like Vaccinations Of DIR.
Miracle.
So much for the story. The musical
setting is interesting, but not striking.
After Verdi, Offenbach is not over
melodious. He has given us in this
work one or two good choruses and a
few arias of worth, with the serenade
in the third act as the best thing in the
opera.
Hoffman, was sung by Harry Davies,
who made so good an impression as
Rhadames in Aida" He sang and
enacted the role worthily throughout.
Miss Julia Hume, as Olympia and An
tonia disclosed a flexible soprano of
high range, but not over-round in tonal
quality. Her Olympia was especially
good. Homer Lind took the triple role
Of Lindorf, Coppelius and DR.. Miracle,
and displayed his dramatic ability to
advantage, showing that he can act
as we'll as sing. Miss Jessie Bradbury
made a good Nicklausse, friend of Hoff-
MANN, doing the male role with dash
and humor. The minor roles were in
satisfactory lands

WALDMANN'S THEATRE is NOW
GIVEN OVER TO MOVING PICTURES

Moving pictures being the proper
thing nowadays for warm-weather
amusement. Waldmann's Theatre has
swung into line with a variety of in
teresting pictures given in addition to
ten pleasing vaudeville numbers in on
tinuous performances from II a. m. to
II p. M. The first bill drew large and
well-pleased crowds yesterday. A new

the effort to please the women and

THERE ARE LOTS OF LAUGHS
AT PROCTOR'S THIS WEEK

Jimmie Barry's characterization of
Zeke Wilkins in his rural skit, "At
Hensfoot Corner" at Proctor's this
week comes near to being perfect. The
sketch is simple. Zeke, the pride of
Hensfoot, has returned from a wildly
exciting two-day trip to New York. He
meets a summer boarder n relates to
her his adventures, and tina is all. but
from his first entrance to his final exit
ne talks and sings to a steady accom-
paniment of mirth. contributed by his
