OUTH AMBOY I To Sing At Funeral. The fLeiderkranz Society met at Prof. Stein's Wednesday evening for practice, instead of at their rooms in Steoerwald's hotel, on account of the illness of Charles Steuerwald Jr. They will sing at the grave of the late A. Y. Applegate. Mr. Applegate used, to attend the meetings at?Stener walds, and being very deaf he would place a glass on the floor, put one end of his walking stick into it and other end between his teeth and listened to the singing, of whioh he was very fond. He wished them to sine at his fnneral, so joined the society some years ago for that purpose. Want Good Weather. "Everybody is hoping for better weather. The weather of Wednesday was just the weather for Good Friday bat for Easter we want bright, clear weather applicable to the day, and to enable the lads and lassies to wear their prettv Easter apparel with pleas ure and oomfort. Rev. H. M. P. Pearse made a very truthful, earnest and ?impressive ap peal to those who lose the Lord Jesus, and asked for a more general religious observance of the day, Good Friday, in last week's Citizen. He stated that the doors of Christ Church will be open all day and devotional service wiUbe held four different times. His was that on that ,day at least all Ohristans may be as one in thus aeknowledging the love of Him? who so loved us, that He gave HiB life for _^>nr Salvation. One of the pastor's, Rev. Mclntire, responded to his appeal or, was of the same mind, for, as was stated before, he will hold a one hour's service of I prayer and meditation of the^crucific tion at 3.30 p. m. on Good Friday. Another Lecture. On Friday night Rev. D. W. G. Molntire will deliver the fourth leo tnre in the course, which is expeoted to be very interesting. The subject "The Island Saint, " is an attractive one. x'his is a very busy week in all of the ohurohes. was a New York visitor this week. Mr. and Mrs. Henry L.

Walker will attend the funeral. The hens have at last ended their strike and eggs are very plentiful and cheap, fresh eggs being sold at some of the stores for 18 cents per dozen.

The site for the jiresident's palace, as the first maps name it, was selected J by President Washing-ton and Major ' L'Enfant when they laid out the fed- * eral city in 1792. They purposed to ! have the president's house and the cap- ' itol reciprocally close to the long vista 1 formed by Pennsylvania avenue; and ' they also laid ou$ a park-like connec- 1 tion between the two great buildings. ' after the manner now proposed by the < park commission. The plans for the ( house, selected by Washington and ' Jefferson as the result of a competi- ' tion in which L'Enfant took part, were ' drawn by James Hoban, a native of ' Dublin, and a medal man of the Society I of Arts of that city. ?

Rotch, of the Blue Hill - observatory thinks can best be solved by sending up exploring kites, with self-recording instruments, from a steame* navigating between the Azores and Ascension island. One of the puzzling facts to be investigated is that the behavior of volcanic dust and clouds shows a strong easterly wind blowing above the equator, which ' wind suddenly shifts at about 20 de- ? grees north and south latitude to southwest and west. This is not in accord with the generally accepted hy pothesis of the movements of the anti trade-winds, and Mr. Rotch thinks an ' important discovery may be made. ? Science. Novel Birth Announcement.

To. the politician the magic words may ;t and for the goal of an ambition too jften associated with the deepest and nost, poignant disappointment; while to the historian the name may typi fy decisions that have marked epochs n the affairs of nations. In the mind if the people, however, the official character of the building has always seen subordinate to its domestic uses. Popularly speaking, the white house s the place not where the president ivorks, but where he entertains. ? Prom Charles Moore's "The Restora :ion of the White House," in Cen tury. American Wells In China. The city of Nankin, though the southern capital of China, does not aossess a waterworks system. The \merican consul, Mr. Martin, put down l "drove" well. The "American well," is i-t is called, soon attracted the at tention of high officials living in the iity, who one after another came to ;ee and test it. The result of their nvestigations was the setting apart jf an amount of money to be used in securing like wells about the city, to :he number of 100. ? N. Y. Sun.

PERELHAN, 4?WELER-optician, * yourself that whatever *90 State St. ffte Tfteatres* Easter week will inaugurate several , good things in the theatrical world at Prootor's various nlaoes of amuse ment. A production of more than passing interest will be jjiven at Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre of "The Face in the Moonlight, " a ro mantio drama in four aots, by Charles , Osbrone. Next week William Brani well will play the dual roles of Viotor and Jacques Ferrand, while Minnie Seligman will appear as Lucille. The best continuous show in town will be in vogue at Proctor's Twenty third Street honse next week. The "headline" act is one that vnudeville can be proud of, for nearly every man, woman and child who has ever attend ed the theatre has seen John and Emma Rav. After considerable nego tiation Mr. Proctor has secured these stars of "A Hot Old Time" and they will appear in their newest vaude ville sketch, entitled "Casey, the Fireman. " Grace George's engagement in i "Prettv Peggy" at the Herald Square Theatre, New York, continues suc cessful. The entertainment is a de- j lightful ono, in which a charming story full of life and dramatic action is given added interest bv the presence of the young girl who is introduced as the star. Miss George never has appeared to better advantage than in "Pretty Peggy," where her ingenuous ness, unaffected manner and graceful demeanor add continually to her fol lowing. In addition to announcing the last two weeks of "A Chinese Honey moon" at the Casino, it is stated that the 400th consecutive performance of the musical triumph at that pretty and popular playhouse will be cele brated on the evening of Wednesday, April 22nd. So successful have been the several souvenir performances of "A Chinese Honeymoon" that Man- 1 agers Sam S. Shubert and Nixon & Zimmerman have resolved to make the last one of special significance and vaule to patrons. They will in con sonance with this object give souvniers bpth at the 899tli and 400th perform ances. All reports from Buffalo, Utica and other cities up-state where ' ' There and Back" has been presented this week, agree that the Messrs. Shubert have the laughing success of the decade in this play by Mr. George Arilss. Messrs. Sam S. and Lee Shubert have completed the list of forty prin cipals who will help to make up the total of 160 players and musicians who will appear in their new Casino show. After two weeks out of town the first in Washington and the second in Philadeplhia, it will take the place which 'A' Chinese Honeymoon" has held for more than a year at the Casino. Among the principals of "The Runaways," as the new produc tion has been named, are three prima donnas, Miss Dorothy Dorr, Miss Amelia Stone and Miss Helen Lord. If laughter and applause can be taken as an indication of the measure of enjoyment of an audience in wit nessing performance, the demonstra tions of approval of "Mr. Bine Beard" at the Knickerbocker Theatre oan > only be regarded as indicative of un- ( nsnal satisfaction. Many hits have been made on Broadway, both this season and in years past, bnt none has ever impressed an andienoe like "Mr. Blue Beard. " It represents the high est attainment in scenic effeots and beautiful costuming and in comia musical entertainment, and is, by long odds, the most gigantic thing in the sfiape of an amusement that the American stage has ever presented. Last Monday morning Klaw & Er langer began the reconstruction of the New York Theatre, which will reopen in September, completely remodeled aud redecorated, with an entirely new and very elaborate production of "Ben Hur." The stage will be en larged ten feet, the boxes in the bal oonies will be extended. When com pleted the New York Theatre will be one of the finest in New York.

The strike of 10,000 bituminous miners in the Indiana ooal fields end ed last night, and the men will go back to workjoday.
