st. Elmo at Academy.

"St. Elmo" the novel that every
woman knows, and every man will
accordingly be obliged to take her to
see, has been dramatized, with the
full consent and approval OF the au-
thoress. Mrs. Augusta j. Evans Will
son, and will be the special Christmas
attraction at the Academy of Music,
New York, opening December 18th,
for two weeks.
The plot of "St. Elmo "hinges on
duel, In which the offending principal,
Murray Hammond, is killed. A young
country girl, Edna Earl, by accident
witnesses the encounter and while she
tacitly conniyes at the escape OF the
slayer, she considers him murderer.
Shortly afterwards the death OF her
grandfather, Aaron Hunt, throws her
on her own resources, and she finds a
place as companion in the home Of
Mrs. Murray. To her horror and sur
prise she recognizes In the son Of her
protector the very man whom she, not
knowing the causes of the encounter,
has regarded as a cold blooded man
slayer. But while st. Elmo, brooding
over this bitter chapter of his past
has become cynic and womanhater,
he is still gentleman of culture who
attracts the ambitious girl by his In
tellect and personality, although she
cannot fathom him.
The two are thrown together, and
the gentle girl finds it impossible to re-
slst the fascination Of the man whose
hands are stained with human blood.
On the other hand the born aristocrat
falls In love with the charming little
plebeian, and determines to WOO and
win her. But "the course Of true love
never did run smooth and the ro-
nance OF st. Elmo, Murray and Edna
Earl is unfinished until just before the
tlnal curtain falls, and this dramatic
suspense is said to be so intense and
sustained that the audience never
knows how it is going TO turn out UNI

the title role, and Miss Fay Courteney

cided to conceal from Mime. Palladino
the room she was to use.
On the night of Oct. 7 she was taken
to DIR. Oteri's stateroom. This seance
brought out nothing except few table
rappings. Nine. Palladino said her spir-
its could not lift the table because II
was too heavy. There was a limit
even to the strength Of spirits.
The next day Captain Letten-Peters-
sen had lighter table made Cor use at
the second seance. which produced
such things as set the ship to talking
of little else than spiritualism and put
a heavy strain on some of the passen-
gers. This time Nine. Palladino' was
taken to the room of Valentino Du-
rante, the royal Italian commissioner Of
immigration. The berths were search
ed before the seance, and two lights
were kept burning.

In the room were Mr.. Herman, Dr.

young women whose names were kept

THE tie 10 the vote for chosen free

county board of elections there was no
freebooter chosen In that ward the
board Of aldermen could appoint a

Our nelghbor Of the Hackettstown
Gazette accuses us of being the vic
tim OF bad dreams In stating that the
state was likely TO lose revenue on ac-
count OF the threatened dissolution of
corporations Incorporated here. Well.
1t may be dream, but most people
are wondering what has been the gain
to them financially by the reforming
OF the railroad, insurance and other
public utility corporations Every
thing has been advanced In price
while many benefits have been cut off.
A striking illustration OF this is shown
in the cutting off of scholars tickets

nice but at the same time expensive.
