This paper is Democratic in principles and is independent in its views on all local qvettions. A Blow at the Beef Trust. Allan L. McDermott has done his duty as a representative of this State in Congress in moving this resolution:— “Resolved, That the Committee on Ways and Means be instruct ed to report to this House with in ten days a bill to remove all duties now imposed on beef im ported from foreign countries.” This is the way to get at the robber beef barons who are try ing to reduce American citizens to the diet level of the Chinese. This is the way to smoke out the Republican party. Come, now, Mayor Fagan, hero of the Free Music, Free Bath bluff. Call a public meet ing and start petitions to back up our Congressman’s public spirit ed and patriotic resolution. It is up to you, Mr. Mayor! Do you wear the Beef Trust collar or do you not? An Obj.ot Ltiun in Hydraulic Engineering. Among the stock criticisms of the “Evening Journal” and other cranks end malignants upon the progress of the water deal between Mr. P. H. Flynn and this city is the fact that the location ot the dam, tentatively mentioned in the first specifications, was changed, later on, ■because the examination made by the en gineers of construction showed that a firm foundation for the structure could not be secured at the point originally selected. The change was really of no importance in so- far as the quality or quantity of the supply or the general value of the works was concerned. But to those who were determined to find fault, reason or no reason, it has served as a peg on which to hang their cavill ings. How true It is that the change was an ordinary incident of engineering is well illustrated in the ease of New York City, which has been occupying a good deal of space in the newspapers the last few days. The difference between our ex periance and New York's is that our en gineers discovered the difficulty befote any work was done, whereas in New York's ease a considerable amount of masonry had been constructed. Our change cost nothing; New York's will cost the city about $400,000, and involves a delay of about two years. The trouble te over the eastern end of the new Croton Dam. The structure con sists of a core of solid masonry IS feet thick, with earth embankments on either side. It was intended to impound 32 millions of millions of gallons of water. A great deal of work had been done upon it when the en gineers in charge suddenly awoke to the idea that it would not sustain the weight of the water, and that it was lia ble to become weakened by percolation and by sloughing off of the earthen em bankments. This was a year ago, and the work was then stopped. The time aince has been expended in discussion and investigation, and on Friday, after Mayo; Low and Comptroller Grout had personal ly examined the work, it was decided to abandon it and tear down the work al ready done. It will take, it appears, about another year to make new plans and advance their construction to the level of the work now abandoned. On the whole, it would appear, Jersey City has been fortunate. No such colos sal blunder as this has marked the prog ress of our operations. Mayor Fagan and Mr. McDermott It will be hard for any one to read Mayor Fagan’* latest veto without a •mile. It la quite plain HI* Honor has no use for Allan It. McDermott. Perhaps if Mr. James B. Vredenburgh had been se lected by the Street and Water Board, the chances of his signing the resolution might have been improv ed. The allusion to the legal talent al ready at the service of the city is plau&l i • 4 ble but not convincing. Nobody would at tach much importance to Mr. George I Record's opinion as to the validity of t partisan bill intended to wipe out a Demo cratic Board and place a single tool of the Beef Trust machine, selected by the Beef Trust Mayor, in despotic control of the expenditures and patronage of the Street and Water Department. By the way, what is Mayor Fagan s idea of a matter that affects the welfare of the entire city, If this Is not one? _ _—_ AMUSEMENTS. Blarney's All Star StooTi Company :» “Slaves of Russia” at the Bijou Blaney’s All-Star Stock Company began Its second week at the Bijou Theatre last night in "Staves of Russia.” So well were the theatregoes pleased last week with the excellence of the performance that the house was crowded last night, and the presentation was well received and generously applauded. There were several new faces In the company, and some new and strikingly pretty scenic ef fects were Introduced. The costumes, too, were worthy of special mention. It Is rarely that one Is treated to so beautiful rn array of costumes in stock company, even wlien the opportunities are so num erous for fancy dress and pretty colors. "Slaves of Russia” Is the production of the pen of Mr. Howrard Hall, the leading man of the company. His thorough knowledge of theatricals obtained in his career as a star actor has given him the advantage over the majority of play wrights, which always makes the play of the actor superior to that of others. Mr. Hall and Miss Lorer.a Atwood are the stars of the play, and they sh.ne very brightly. Their scenes together are ex cellently done. Their support is also of superior character. The other members of the company are Harry W. Fenwick, Harry- Jordan, E. Burdette Bowling. Hor ace Lewis, George Fesher, Henry Pier son, Clara Joel, Leita B. Russell, Seth Hall and Viola Grant. D. and C. A. Mason in “Rudolph and Adolph” at the Academy of Music. Any one who wishes , to enjoy a couple of hours of solid fun should visit the Academy of Music and listen to those two exceedingly funny German comed ians, Dan and Charles A, Mason, in their three-act farce, “Rudolph arid Adolph. From beginning to end of the perform ance there is nothing but laughter. There is lots of fine music and singing. The piece has no plot, but there are so many funny complications in it that no one ha3 an opportunity to think of plot. The play is a sort of “Comedy of Errors," and is based on the resemblance between Ru dolph and Adolph, who look so much alike that their own wives cannot distinguish them apart. The complications are many and very ludicrous. During the show you are entertained with songs of an up-to date character by Miss Jessie Mae Hail, Miss Eeatrice McKenzie, Mr. Lew H. Newcomb, and by the Sisters Lawrence, in an acrobatic specialty, and Mason and Mason, who sing all the latest coon songs in English and German. Each member of the company, which is an excellent one, was well received by the large audience, and every perform er had to respond to at least three en cores. The play will be given every night this week with the usual Wednesday and Sat urday matinees. _ Broadway Theatre. Notwithstanding that “The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast” continues to play to capacity receipts at the Broadway Theatre, and the great demand for seats which still prevails, the phenomenally' successful run of this great spectacle is rapidly drawing to a close. It will be seen in New York but a short time longer. After its present season at the Broadway Theatre ends, it will never again be pre sented in the Metropolis. Therefore, but few opportunities remain to those who have not witnessed this masterpiece of the spectacular in stage art—a production which no lover of high class entertain ment can afford to miss, for it represents the greatest achievement of American management in this field of amusement enterprise. Although praise without stint has been showered on this marvelous effort, it has never been in any sense over-praised. For the first time in American stage history the public has before It a musical specta cular production that defies adequate de scription—an entertainment that never disappoints an auditor, no matter to what high pitch of anticipation his or her in- | terest has been worked up. New musical features are also introduced every week, and thereby constant novelty is added to the piece. Seats can now be had for every per formance in the next four weeks. All orders for seats by mail, accompanied by j remittance, directed to Jacob Litt, mann | ger Broadway Theatre, will receive prompt attention. All those who contem plate seeing ‘‘The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" will make no mistake in secur ing their seats at the earliest possible op portunity, as every in dication points to not the slightest falling off in attendance during the remainder of its stay at the Broadway Theatre. Knickerbocker Tbeatre, Francis Wilson's run in "The Toreador" at the Knickerbocker Theatre will end Saturday evening. May 3 His engagement will positively not be extended. He will leave Broadway with a seventeen weeks' stay to his credit, the longest he lias H er made in New York as an independent star. “The Toreador" has proved one of the most popular musical comedies pre sented In New York this season and the attendance it and its star have drawn to the Knickerbocker reflects not a little Credit on both Mr. Wilson and his man agement. The next two weeks represent the last time “The Toreador” will ever be seen in iXew York. At the close of his engagement Mr. Wilson departs for Europe. Next season he will appear in "Tile Toreador" in the larger cities. The year following he will be seen in a new production. Daly's Theatre. “San Toy" is drawing large audiences to Daly’s Theatre and possesses all the vital public interest that would surround it were it being presented for the first time in New' York, instead of for the third time. The explanation of this circum stance is that it is an extraordinarily meritorious piece and is played by an un The Non-Irritating Cathartic Easy to take, easy to operAte— Hood’s Pill'sT *■ mMks Dr. Lyon’s. PERFECT Tooth Powder Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century. usually talented company All enter into thc'r parts with a vim and spirit which makes their work most attractive to an audience. Every role has the true ring of competence In Its interpretation, whether In the dialogue or the musical features. The triple hit “San Toy” has made in Mew York is simply another evidence of how readily the public will respond to actual merit in a theatrical attraction. Marie Celeste, 'Minnie Ashley and Elgle Bowen attract much attention and George K. Fortesque and Samuel Collins have scored strong hits In the comedy roles of the mandprln and LI. The costumes and the scenery are especially attractive for their brilliancy of color and artistic effects. _ Fourteenth Street Theatre. That the souvenir craze has lost none of its Interest is being thoroughly demon strated at the Fourteenth Street Theatre this week, where the unusual demand for tickets for Monday next, which will com memorate the seventy-fifth performance of "Foxy Grandpa” In Mew York will be given. Manager Rosenquest has In the past tendered many appropriate memen toes for occasions of this description and it is safe to say that the souvenir which will be presented on that occasion Is by far the most enticing of any heretofore given. “Foxy Grandpa” pillows with the silks and floss to embroider wiil he given. The pillow is not only edged but tinted and shows Foxy and his two mischievous boys in one of Bunny's happiest veins. CLEVER AMATEUR MINSTRELS St. Michael’s Club Gives an Excel lent En torts inmont. St. Michael’s Club minstrel show open ed last evening at St. Michael's Hall, Erie and Tenth streets, before a good sizc-d audience, and the young men acquitted themselves excellent as black face com edians. The opening chorus of forty voices, which rendered "Swellest Coon in Town,” "Ain’t it a Shame?” "My Lady Hottentot” and "Bessie,” was one of the features of the entertainment. The au dience showeo its appreciation of the fine singing and all through the performance applauded the young men for their efforts. Mr. James L. Noble as interlocutor was very good and the jokes passed by the end men were all new and up to date. On the ends were James Curley, James T, Murray, John C. Delaney, Joseph Sillane, John Corrigan and Jeremiah Hayes. The soloists were: Matthew P. Casey. Andrew Barr, Peter J. Kennedy, James Wilson, Charles A. McCune, John A. Goren, Patrick J. Neuman, J. R. O'Neill, Joseph Foley, Daniel Looney, Thomas F. Brooman. The chorus was made by the following young men: John J, McMahon, George- R. Beattie, A. J. Bettlghofer, C. Crowley, William J.

In the second part a stump speech was made by Egan and Kelly; Demarest and Sherman gave a German act, and there were buck and wing dancing by Compton and Walter, and Hebrew impersonation by Eugene Farley. f* i ctions were rendered by St. Mich ael's string band, and after a one act sketch, entitled "The War Correspon dent," the entertainment closed with the chorus singing old time songs. Tne show will be produced 4galn this evening, and also Wednesday and Thurs day evenings. "THE SHAUGHRAUN" Clover Performance ljy tile Amateur of St. John's DrnmnHc Circle. St. John’s Hall was filled last night when “The Shaughraun” was presented by the Dramatic Circle of St. John’s Catholic Club, under the direction of Mr. i John Costello. The curtain went up about 8:15 and from then to the final drop overj’thing moved in excellent order. The actors were on their mettle and each vied with the other to see who could carry off the honors. It was a hard fight and resulted in a dead heat. It would he use less to pick out a single character for praise because all played their parts to tho limit The cast was as follows:—Conn, Mr. William Kelly; Captain Molineux, Mr. W. O. Reed; Kobei't Ffolllott, Mr. James Hagan; Corry Kinehela, Mr. T. P. Haley; Father Dolan. Mr. James 13. Coyle; Har vey Duff, Mr. James Ray; Sergeant Jones, Mr. Edw. Reed; Sullivan, Mr. Wm. 1 Me’.lin; Riiej’, Mr. James Cavanagh; Mangan, Mr. Robert Fennell; Arte O’Neale. Miss Lucy Fennell; Claire Ffolllott. Miss Anna Casserly; Moj’a Dolan, Miss Rose Gilbert; Mrs. O’Kelly, Miss Lavina Whelan. Muss Nellie John son was called on at the last moment to plaj’ the part of Biddy Madigan. chief keener at Conn’s wake, and she filled the part like a professional. Nearly all of the scenery was painted specially for this production* and pro voked the admiration of the audience. The stage furniture was also admired, as was the admirable way in which the stage in general was managed. Messrs. Haley, Glynn and Cullen are certainly entitled to all the praise they got In this respect. The performance will he repeated to night, tomorrow night and for the last time on Thursday night.

REED’S SCHEME TOJSUCCEED Governor Intimates He Will Sign North Plain field Bills. HEARING YESTERDAY And a Fine Lot of Soiled Republican Linnen Wash ed in Public. TSpecial to "The Jersey City N’ew«."l TRENTON, April 15. 1902.—There was a pretty airing of dusty Republican linen in the Executive Chambers yesterday when the Governor gave a hearing on Senator Charles A. Reeds pet scheme to get square with hts political enemies in Somerset by putting North Plainfield over into Union, and making Somerset Demo cratic. When the hundred members of the dele gation had grouped themselves about the Executive Chamber Senator Reed as spokesman started the ball rolling. He first gave a history of the borough of Plainfield, tracing its growth and erst while prosperity, which he ascribed to Us proximity to Plainfield. He told of the efforts which had already been made to effect a consolidation of the two munici palities. desribing the ward lines and ar guing that by its situation and natural development North Plainfield should logi cally be made a part of Plainfield. The Senator covered much of the ground touched upon at previous hear ings. The people of North Plainfield, he asserted, are now practically a unit in favor of the consolidation with lPainfield. although they may not be fully agreed as to how this may best be accomplished. Four distinct plans, he said, had been considered. The first of these was the formation of a new county, which was desired by some of the political leaders; the second was to annex Plainfield to Somerset County and then consolidate the municipalities; the third was to con solidate without changing the County lines, and the fourth was to annex North Plainfield to Union County, this being the proposition embodied in* the three bills passed by the Legislature, When the suggestion to consolidate was first made, Senator Reed said, the resi dents -were op-posed to the proposition -by a proportion of probably three; to one. This, he declared, wan simply because they were taken somewhat by surprise and were misled by the statements of the officeholders and others opposed to the consolidation. But when the people had weighed the matter more carefully. Sena tor Reed said, they had become convinced that it would be to their own Interest to consolidate. Senator Reed referred with atrectea sur prise to the fact that neither A. V. D. Honeyman nor former Clerk in Chancery Lewis A. Thompson was present at the hearing, although both had been leading the movement against the bill. He was particularly surprised at the absence of Mr. Thompson, who, he said, he had noti fied by telegraph yesterday morning that the hearing was to take place. The Senator continued that when the bill was first opposed before the Legisla ture the objections were all bas:d on the ground that there was no referendum clause and that the people of North Plainfield would, therefore, be given no voice in the matter. The Senate Com mittee, he said, had been assured by both sides that if the referendum were insert ed there would be no further objection to the bills. He had never been asked to vote against the bills with the refer endum clause and he believed the same was true of every other Senator. Senator Reed then launched Into the political aspects of the case, asserting that the meat in the cocoanut as regards the Republican wrangles in Somerset lay in the jealousy of Somerville toward North Plainfield. "It makes no difference whether It’s Reed or Smalley or whatnot," he said, "if a man comes from North Plainfield he may expect to cut in Somerville, and to run up against all sorts of schemes in h's own party to accomplish hie defeat. North Plainfield as it is has always been shabbily treated, and until I was sent to the Legislature in 1S36 never had a repre sentative in an office filled from the county at large, except one Assemblyman who was a Democrat. "You may remember yourself, Gover nor,” continued the Somerset man naively, "that when you were touring the State during your campaign your party could not get anyone on the platform at Somer ville. Now the reason for this and for the cool reception there was simply because the people thought you were a friend of mine, and as I am from North Plainfield they wanted to show their political aver sion to that municipality." Senator Reed then presented a lot of figures to show how he and others from North Plainfield had been cut by their own party every time they came up for election. Bridgewater township, he said, would never tolerate a 'North Plainfield man no matter who he was, and the jealousy of which he had spoken had even gone so far as to lead to Governor Mur phy's being cut when he was running. "I'm talking politics now, Governor,” continued Mr. Reed, warming up to his subject, "and until a few moments ago there stood in that very doorway a young man who is now holding a position in the office of the clerk of the Court of Chan cery who secured it by working against the Republican party in Somerset. He was removed for his efforts by the former clerk of the court, and after working against his ticket boasted that he would not be long without a position. "There is another young man from the same County in the same office who be fore he was of age worked all day at the polls distributing Republican tickets with the names of the candiates for Senator and Assemblyman cut. It is not only one side which is treacherous.” said the Sena tor, raising his voice, “and even now the half has not been told about Somerset County politics.” Having thus delivered himself of a fling at his old-time political enemy, former Senator Lewis A. Thompson, Senator Roed proceeded to dig up Into the North Plainfield Board of Education for oppos ing the bills. If there was one good thing which the annexation would accomplish for North'Plalnfield, he said. It would be In the matter of providing an adequate system of education. Yet the board was In league with the very element which had always stood In the way of the build ing ef schools. The Senator spoke of the different ex i ci»e laws in the two municipalities, de | clarlng that most of the signatures of 1 those signing petitions against the bills | bad been obtained la ••loam. XtC course, lie said, the trequenters of such places op posed the annexation, for at present when the Plainfield saloons are closed by law at midnight they can simply step over the line to North Plainfield, where the sa loons can stay open all night. Mayor Smalley of North Plainfield, spoke next for the bill. “We want an nexation, and we want It bad,” he said, tersely. The president of the school board who was among the opponents, he said, was not even a property owner In the borough. Mayor Smalley said he knew the people of North Plainfield were divid ed on the question of how the annexation should be accomplished, but said there had been a remarkable change In the sen timent during the past ten days. Governor Murphy told the delegation that If the question was solely as to mak ing North Plainfield a part of Plainfield, he would have signed the bill the day it was passed,but the serious problem which confronted him was to whether It was best to dismember the county. He had r.ot been aware of a single person In Som erset. outside of North Plainfield who fa vored the bill. Senator Reed here interposed that the motive which prompted Judge 3chenck, who appeared against the bill at a pre vious hearing, was a desire for an increas ed salary. Somerset has now a popula tion of about 33.000 and if this should be increased to 35.000 it would mean a raise for Judge Schenck. Former Councilman Peter A. Evans spoko for the hill from the standpoint of the property owners. He was followed by former Councilman L. B. Wolston. presi dent of the North Plainfield Board of Tcado, who devoted some attention to the attitude of the Board of Education. C. D. Northorp summoned the matter up by saying it was simply a question of whether the Governor would accept the responsibility of vetoing what the Legis lature had done, and . a responsibility which should now rest with the people. There were several other speakers for the bill, including former Mayor \t\ L. Saunders. President of Council James F. Buckler and former Councilman George Rogers. In a conversation after the hearing Governor Murphy intimated very plainly that it was his intention to sign the bill?. Unless he should experience another change of heart the Governor will sign the bills. He takes the ground that no arguments have been urged before him and no facta presented which were not in the possession of the Legislature while it was considering the bills. So if the Legislature has seen fit to pass the bills and has incorporated a referendum clause he does not consider that he is called upon to exercise the veto power. PHILANTHROPY CLOSED Club Women Will Take Up Day Nursery for Next Year’s Work. The Philanthropy Department of the Woman’s Club closed its season yester day afternoon at the home of Mrs. Brice Collard, No. 56 Clinton avenue, where a couple of hours were spent sewing and partment's work next year. Neither sewing nor discussion was fin ished, probably because the Department tried do too much at once. The little aprons which the ladles have been making for the Day Nursery were laid aside until fall, as that institution will probably be the recipient of the De partments work next year. The programme for 1902-1502 was arrang ed as far as the meetings and guest days are concerned. These meetings will be held as usual every two weeks at the homes of members, ’’guest day” being sandwiched in between once or twice a year. A motion was made to concentrate the efforts of the Department to the Day Nursery, Instead of scattering its work as previously, but was lost in the discussion. It is probable, however, that the Nur sery will be greatly benefited, as several of the Philanthropy ladies are on the Nursery Board. The usual social with refreshments fol lowed the meeting, and It was decided to reopen the Department In October. Among those present were:—Mrs. John Anness, Mrs. Brlee Collard. Mrs. B. K. Curtis, Mrs. Gluck, Mrs. Held, Mrs. Duana Fisk, Miss Barlow, Mrs. Jennie Van Winkle, Mrs. E. F. Britton, Mrs. Honry Hellerman.
