WATSON BURLESQUERS
MAKE MERRY AT MINERS

. Members of the famous family or
Watson burlesquers upheld their rep
utation last night, when the two wat
son sisters appeared at Miners The
atre for a weeks engagement in
two-act fantasia termed Morocco
Bound" The Misses Fannie and Kit
ty Watson, with the assistance OF a
few able stars, carry the show. The
first named sister assumed the part
of Mrs. Marion Belden-Phelps, a
Young widow, who conducts board
ing-house for young ladies'. Among
the inmates of that lively institution
is her sister Kitty, acting as her
daughter, Gwendoline Beldon.
The fantasia is IAN edition de luxe
in two Volumes" or acts. Tne nrst
act brings out Jack Alden, played by
Fred C. Collins. Alden's uncle IN MO-
rocco is considerable enough to die and
leave. Jack a vast fortune, but dies
without revealing where 1t is hidden
For some time Jack has been IN
love with the winsome Gwendollne
Beldon, and when he decided to VISIT
Morocco and unearth the treasure ne
takes the whole cast along with MIN.
The harem scene in the second act is
a masterpiece. No expense has been
spared by the producers in the Orlen-
tai effects for this act, and when the
curtain rose there was spontaneous
outburst of applause. number OF
shapely young women stretched IAN
guidly about the harem add CONSIDER
ably to the pleasant scenery.
AS might be expected, Jack hnds
the fortune and then his suit is smiled
upon by Gwendoline's mother. the
latter had not taken kindly TO the
young swain, and in repulsing him
on their second meeting at the select
boarding house, exclaimed;
why, Alden, you came here three
weeks ago with a two-dollar bill and
a clean shirt and you haven't changed
either"
Ed Smalley and Null Clark are the
inevitable Jewish and German come
dams of the show and they drew
number of laughs. A feature of the
entertainment is the delightful dane
ing of Miss Frances Farr. This young
lady enacts the part of Flaurette,
maid employed at the boarding
house. For nimbleness of foot and
grace in executing her difficult steps
Miss Farr is by long odds one OF

New Auto Fire Apparatus
Tested and Put in Service

Having fulfilled the requirements
after being given severe test, two
pieces of the new motor-driven appa-
ratus recently purchased by the fire
department were yesterday ordered
into service at the new double COM
pany building at Avon avenue and
Thirteenth street.
Both pieces apparatus, a seventy
flve-foot aerial truck and a high pres
sure combination chemical engine and
hose wagon. were tested yesterday
afternoon. Starting from the City
Hall each machine was weighed down
with men and implements as ii would
be in the course of fire duty.
Both machines were sent up the
Spruce, West Kinney and Morton
street hills at full speed and the re-
uuirements were fulfilled in both in
stances. Other tests that tried out
the machines thoroughly were given.
The truck is of the American-La-
France type, while the wagon is from
the White Motor Car Company.

1.-THE COMMON LAW" FINDS
APPRECIATION AT oRPHEUM

Staging the play after the drawings
of Charles Dana Gibson, the Illus
traitor, whose drawings helped make
the book famous. THE Common
Law" a dramatization of the novel,
was well received at the Orpheum
Theatre last night, where 1t Is booked
for weeks engagement.
The company was very capable and
received MAN. curtain calls for their
splendid work.
Margaret Chaffee, as Rita Tevis, a
young artists model, in love with
John Burleson, q sculptor, TOO dense
to see through her love for him until
he is told by a friend to propose,
is easily the star of the play ana
carried off the honors of the eve
ming. Simple in manner and distinct
in her enunciation, Miss Chaffee is
certain to be heard from later as the
bright and shining star OF some
Broadway success.
The play is a melodrama, and al
though not of the old type of years
ago, still has the hero and william,
depicting them as young and success
full artists, with large incomes ana
of distinguished families, both being
in love with the model, Valerie West
Miss Alice NewelD and pursuing dit-
ferent tactics in the hopes OF WIN
ming her. And, though the audience
is never in doubt as to the actuai
outcome and no gun play is staged
still Valerie hurls Jose Querida
(Walter Fenner). the rival of Louis
Neville edward Foley, whom she
really loves, out of the window, when
he attempts to make love to her
The play itself shows life as we
read of it among the well-to-do art
lists with their late suppers, their
petty jealousies and their love affairs,
and deals with the present problem
of common law marriage. The hero,
Louis Neville, is in love with Valerie
West, his model, and although she
returns his love will not consent to
a marriage for fear she Will ruin MS
career. or at least that is what she Is
made to understand by the artists
mother, who has a strong dislike at
first at the thought of taking model
into the family.
She afterwards finds that Valerie
is the daughter of a girlhood friend
and the proverbial happy ending fol-
lows.

GALLANT SURGEON
ENDEARED HIMSELF.
DR.. Andrew Hoback, of Vir-
ginia, Administered to
Wounded Soldiers of
Both Sides.
Celebrated Formula Compound
ed as Mysteriously as
Famous Mineral Wa
tiers Are Formed.

DR.. Andrew j. Hoback, the famous
Virginia physician who recently died,
leaving his son the formula for a
preparation said to be invaluable for
treatment in cases of stomach, liver
and kidney troubles, was not only a
graduate of the Philadelphia College
of Medicine, 1856-57, a surgeon in the
Confederate army, but an honorary
member of the Virginia Medical So
ciety for over thirty years.
Many Civil War veterans, north
and south, were they living today,
would remember the gallant Confed-
crate surgeon who administered to
their needs back in the sixties. They
skill of thessurgeons hand, but the
infinite variety of this PHYSICIANS
knowledge, that brought the wounded
back to life. There was a prescrip-
ton he invariably used for sick, con-
valescent soldiers that seemed to
work like magic--building up the sys-
tenn, creating a healthy appetite, pro-
noting digestion, yitalizing the blood
and bringing back color to the cheeks
and the sparkle of health to the eyes,
Compounded by himself. even as
mysteriously as famous mineral
waters are formed. the science of
quired medical lore. were set at de-
fiance so far as imitation was con-
cerned by this wizard of medicine.
The formula for the celebrated
preparation was given by DR.. Hoback
to his son just prior to his death a
year ago. with the understanding
that it would be manufactured and
distributed in such a manner as
would do the most good.
The large medicine manufacturers
have sent representatives to Virginia
in an effort to get control of the
valuable formula. This could not be
done, however. because Fred S. Ho-
back. president of the Hoback Lab
oratories Company, of Virginia, is de-
termined to exemplify his fathers
philanthropic nature by personally
seeing to it that the preparation will
be so distributed as to do the most
good for mankind.
The preparation is called Hoback's
Old Fashioned Stomach and Liver
Medicine. and the keenest kind OF
rivalry now exists among the local
druggists who desire the agency for
Newark. 1t will be fortunate, indeed,
If Newark is among the first cities
of the country to get the celebrated
medicine.-Adv.

HEARING HELD ON
CORB|TT PENSION
city's Attorney Advises Police
Board to Be Guided by DR..
Clark's Findings.

The application of Mrs Lucy Cor
hitt, widow Of the late Chief of Police
Michael Corbitt, for a pension was
sery favorably acted upon yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the Board
Of Police Commissioners, when Assist
ant City Attorney Charles M. Myers
recommended that the board be gov
armed by the report of Police Surgeon
clark, which declared that the chief
died from an illness contracted in per-
1ormance Of his duty. Definite action
viii probably be taken at the regular
meeting Of the board next Thursday.
Alonzo Church. counsel for Mrs.
Eorbitt, called upon Captain Oscar
Rogel and Mounted Patrolman Nc
+ hYoy, the latter the chiefs aid on last
Memorial Day, when the chief was
stricken with apoplexy while he was
On horseback and just about to start
me parade, who were the first two
persons to reach the chief as he fell
+ Forward on his horses neck. Captain
Nogel testified that just before the
parade was to start the chief spoke to
him and appeared to be in the best of
{ health and spirits. McEvoy testified
that when Chief Corbitt went to the
police stable to get his horse he was
In an unusually cheerful frame of
mind
On cross examination by Mr.. Myers,
Patrolman McEvoy stated that Chief
Corbitt became somewhat excited
when he thought brewery truck was
going to drive in from Academy street
and cut off the head of the parade
and that it was Immediately after or
dering policeman to have the truck
sent back that he was stricken
DR.. Clark testified that Chief Cor
bitt possessed wonderful constitu-
ton, and that his heart was as sound
as a dollar" and that the cause of his
death was cerebral hemorrhage, which
was sustained while on duty and in
performance of his official duties.
Mr. Church submitted a lengthy
brief, in which he cited several in
Stances of cases similar, and also
called attention to the fact that Chief
Corbitt had been in the departm emit
thirty years, and that he was entitled
to have retired on pension years ago,
but that he had stuck to his duty
b In conclusion, Mr.. Myers advised
Fthe board to be governed solely by the
Surgeons report. and it is probable
that at the meeting of the board next
Thursday Mrs. Corbitt will be award
ed a pension of $1,000 a year, half of
the chiefs salary.
The board also announced that the
new sub-station in Vailsburg would
be established Immediately. For the
present the station-house will be To-
