 It has come as very sudden and mad blow to the imperial family that the pretty and popular Princess Ruprecht of Bavaria died at such an early age; while as a matter of course, all Bulgarians are mourning with their future ruler The Princess was a daughter of the famous Duke Carl Theodore and wife of the heir to the Regency. Her royal highness had only reached the age of 34.
 The old Prince Regent was terribly cut up at the news. and for time his doc tors thought the shock would prove ia tai to him. Duke Carl Theodore's home was like a second home to Germany's s crown prince, who spent many happy weeks there. His Imperial Highness Is very grieved that his unfortunate acci- dent prevented him from going to the funeral, and Prince Eitel has gone in his stead.

1 In the Saxon town of Chemnitz lately ar rived wander theatre" of 2 persons Their performances failed. and their manager absconded. Eleven of the ac- | tresses had to be taken into the poor 1 house and kept there till money was
 raised to send them home. One of them afterwards died of exhaustion. Hunger | to the point of illness is not unknown.
 Tn Liegnitz last month an actress sued | her director for $22. one months wages, | in lieu of notice. The defense was that l the actress had one day failed to play

 Austrian theatre bill 1t transpired that
 an actress who earned s400 a year Tas
 obliged to pay s250 for dresses, and that
 another who earned about $500 had bought for her different parts costumes which
 cost s6s0. The Austrian theatre bill de- clares 1t Illegal to compel an actress who | earns less than fixed minimum wage to buy dresses for wearing on the stage. Efforts are being made elsewhere to remedy this condition. The Austrian bill
 has been held up for two years owing to parliamentary instability. But Germany is preparing a law which will drastically intervene on behalf of the down-trodden
 actress. The German Stage league Is
 also at work. lilly Durieux, one of Der lln's most famous actresses, takes lead ing role "A road mender's wage is the | device of the league. All they want is a

 are far off. German unskilled laborers
 earn about $500 4 year. Only 70 per cent
 earn less than s250. But of the actresses half earn less.

|KEARNY WINS FIGHT
WITH PUBLIC SERVICE
(Fgom the NEWS Correspondent

(FYOm the NEWS CorreSpoRdent.)
Trenton, Oct. 10-The State Board
of Public Utility Commissioners has
decided the <1mNaint of the
town of Kearny against the Public
Service Railway Company by issuing
an order directing the Public Service
Company to carry passengers for a
single five cent fare between Kearny
and the Hackensack River Bridge,
the western boundary Of Jersey City,
aid for the same single fare In the
opposite direction between the points
named.
The filing of the complaint was
due to a relocation Of a trolley zone
dividing line by the State Utility
Commission to prevent discrimina-
ton against the operatives Of the
Meadow Railroad Shops. The zone
dividing line al relocated so the OPP
eratives would not be compelled to
pay two fares, but this worked out
to compel the residents of Kearny tC
pay two fares, and the complaint fol
lowed.
The State Board in It's decision
restores the zone lines as they were
before it's previous order and Their
excerpts from the order the travel tc
and from the Meadow shops, on the
ground that the shop travel Is pecu-
liar to itself.

"that educated men 10 longer seek

much or little that the percentage of

to 10 per cent. to less than 10 per

An examination Of the figures col
lected at the close of the nineteenth
century from thirty-seven %represen-
tative colleges d~iscloses the fact that
the ministry takes between five and
six per cent. Of the university grad

TOILET REQUISITE

There has never before been on
the market, to our knowledge, any
substance that would bleach the skin
| unless 1t contained injurious acids
or corrosive sublimate. The enforce
ment of the Pure Food and Drugs
Act has made the marketing of these
articles Illegal.
Therefore, we feel the readers Of

that the West End Pharmacy, our
progressive druggists, have secured
the agency for Albany Of Whites
Skynbleach, a peroxide cream com
posed mostly of Earth Alkaline Per-
oxides and which contains n o acids
or Injurious substances of any kind.
It does It's work by reason OF the
fact that when rubbed on the skin,
previously moistened with warm
water, the free and active oxygen
which thereby becomes released not
only bleaches the skin but thorough
ly disinfects as we'll. The person af-
iicted with discolored skin and wish
ing to obtain that creamy white skin
so much to be desired, will find Skyn-

MUCH DELAY
ON BROADWAY
South Amboy Anxious to
Have Paving Finished.
In The EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, Oct. 10:-The new
track laid through Broadway re-
Gently by the Public Service Com
pany has already had two broken
rails to it's credit. If this should
be of frequent occurrence after the
new pavement is completed 1t will
cause much inconvenience in replac-
ing them. But If progress is no fast
er than it has been the last two
weeks in placing the bithulithic, the
rails will be worn out and new ones
will have to take their place.
What is the cause of the delay?
Must the streets in other cities be
completed before South Amboy's
street is finished? The rumor is
circulating quite freely that the com.
pany has run out of material and
their vessel will not be in with a
cargo until about the holidays. Nc
doubt this is false, but the citizens
of the town would like the work
completed as it has been about long
enough paving the street torn up.
