THIS PAPER IS DEMOCRATIC IN PRINCIPLE* AND IS
INDEPENDENT IN ITS TIEU’S ON ALL LOCAL QUESTIONS.
The New Baseball Club and Barb
The Jersey City Baseball Club and Its side partner, the New Jersey Exhibition
Company, made a highly creditable and a highly promusing debut, Thursday, at
West Side Park, their new field of action. It is most cordially hoped that the omens
of success which marked the day will be verified by large attendance, guod ball,
ft clean record and large gate receipts.
The field is, on the whole, an excellent one. The stands are ample and fairly
well constructed. With one or two slight changes, they will be fully up to stand
ard. The Jersey City Club seems to be a very fair team. They play in earnest
-or at least they did Thursday—and they ought to make a fine showing In the
total record of the season. Certainly they afforded a lively two hours' game
Thursday, and nobody who travels to the park and pays his money need fear
that the time will be heavy on his hands while the game is on.
It Is very easy to get to the field. West side avenue cars pass it, and there
are an abundance of them during ball hours; Plank Road cars pass about three
blocks away. The price of admission is moderate, the stand Is comfortable, it
will be very cool and shady in summer. Refreshments may be obtained on the
grounds. In every way, a visit to the park will be found a pleasure.
The local pride of Jersey City lovers of the great American game should rally
them to the support of the enterprise. It deserves well of the public.
' \
The Tragedy of the Fords.
The facts in or rather behind the shooting of Paul Leicester Ford, the hunch
back novelist, by his brother. Malcolm Webster Ford, the athlete ne'er-do-well, are
too obscure for any certain judgment to be formed on any phase of the tragedy.
But one or two deductions of considerable public importance may be made from
It. Perhaps the most notable is that physical culture in itself affords no guarantee
of true manly development. Perhaps the most revolting feature of the murder
was its cowardice. It exceeds even the horror of the fratricidal element. The
murderer was a giant in strength and a marvel in readiness of physical resource;
his victim was a deformed and sickly creature, who had not even celerity enough
of motion to save himself by dodging the attack. He was unarmed end totally
unexpectant of danger. Thus the conduct of the athlete, the perfection of man
hood—in the muscular line—proved to be a coward and a brute of the most
despicable description. We believe in the physical training of the young both for
sanitary end combative reasons; but we have no sympathy with the cult of
brawn of which Malcolm W. Ford was the type. True manhood can only be de
veloped by strong mental and moral training.
Another lesson of world wide importance, we might say, to be drawn from
the tragedy is the folly and wickedness of excessive parental coercion upon the
young. That parental authority should be absolute through the years of irresponsi
bility, nobody will dispute; that it should always have much weight is equally a
truism; but that it is wise or just to assert it tyrannically over grown up men
and women, that it is wise or just to exercise it with scorching severity, in cases
where only the view of life and not moral principle is at issue, we cannot think,
and the present awful event Is merely an exaggeration of the disaster that is con
stantly resulting from what we may call the abuse of the parental relation. The
action of the Fords’ father in cutting off his son from all share in his estate,
merely on account of the $oung man’s mania for physical exercise, was one of
those evil acts which always brings a long succession of catastrophes in its train.
The misunderstanding between the brothers developing into hatred and bloody
violence, the demoralization of the disinherited one suffering from the sense of
bitter injustice, with its record of shady doing of all sorts, are really the harvest
•f a narrow, ill-tempered old man’s cruelty and oppression.
Of -Paul Leicester Ford’s place in literature, this is hardly the time or place
to speak. He is not to be taken very seriously; but amid an army of imposters he
bad the saving grace of sincerity. The feeling that will most possess the public
mind Is a shuddering sympathy for the survivors in the immediate family, Mrs.
Ford and her unborn child, the other widow and the poor little boy of seven, end
then the brother and sisters, some of whom have not been spared acquaintance
with tragedy in their own lives. It is cases like these that so strengthen the
ca9e of religious faith and hope. For what can the world mean if there be no
•equel in which such sufferings are justified.
Reform in New York Plus Dirty Streets.
Jersey City people who had occasion, to visit New York, yesterday, brought home
to their eyes and noses and ears and hair and clothes, a nice object lesson on
the subject of reform municipal administration. Never before in the history of
the metropolis has the condition of the streets been so bad. The air was all but
ombreathable from the dust which the wind lashed up from the unswept streets.
Life outdoors was a pain and indoors a nuisance, for the dust crept in through
*11 crannies and coated every object from the human face to the furniture.
Of course Mayor Low could not hinder the wind from blowing; but he might
have had the streets swept and sprinkled. If Tammany had been in power, the
“Evening Post’’ would have been one concentrated shriek, last evening, and the
■hade of Colonel Waring would have been invoked in tones pathetic and wrathful
to bear witness that only a reformer was equal to the task of keeping New York's
•treets clean.
'Reform is a rare humbug—in New York at any rate. With the police as bad
«> ever; with blanket raids and the third degree favorite methods of administer
ing justice, the streets unswept, whole departments tied up by civil service techni
calities and peculations charged in several branches of the government, the ad
ministration of the Hon. Seth Low exhibits a discouraging similarity to that of
the wicked Augustus Van Wyck.
Mr. Schwab’s Banquet
While one trust Is keeping the price of beef at such a price that people in
middling circumstances have to live on chicken, it Is quite edifying to learn that
the head of another trust, the great Steel Combination, is going to give a dinner
to his heads of departments at $100 a plate. This is the sort of intelligence that
is calculated to close the mouths of agitators, stop strikes, and quite reconcile
the common people to a diet of potatoes.
The additional information is given that the diners are all to wear colonial
costume, the appropriateness of which must be plain to all admirers of primitive
simplicity. The spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers, and the Knekerbockers and the
Jamestown settlers will no doubt smile benignantly on the diners as perpetuating
the ideals for the sake of which they left Europe for the wild shores of the new
world.
The "Evening Post/’ In commenting on this feast, likens Mr. Schwab, the giver
of It, to Lueullus and Sardanapalus. The “Post s” classicism is decidedly at fault.
If it wants a true prototype, what is the matter with Trimalchion?
The Very Acme of Scoundrelism.
The lying scoundrel—no other term describes him—who writes editorials on the
water account for the “Evening Journal,” surpassed himself last evening. He
opened a tissue of malignant falsehoods In this way:—
In Birmingham, England, $1.45 is collected by the department in charge
of the city’s water supply for every man, woman and child of the popula
tion; that Is, 11.45 por capita, and out ot thin $1.20 U turned over to the city
treasurer as net profit, of which the city receives about $700,000 a year.
Jersey City’s Outfit collects now about $4.45 per capita and turns over
to the city a deficit of $400,000.
The city of Birmingham owns it* own water system, it has splendid water
works, such as the Democratic administration recently contracted to secure for
us, such as will be ready for us in about eighteen monthp.
The city of 'Birmingham has no robber contract on its neck such, as the Re
publican party made with the East Jersey Water Company in the last week of
Mayor Wander’s term.
Of the $4.45 per capita collected for water in this city, $4.20 is spent before it is
collected. It goes to pay the interest on the water debt rohed up by Republicans
twenty years ago and the cost of the East Jersey contract just mentioned. Ail
that the Street and Water Department has to spend is the remaining 25 cents.
The deficit in the Water Account is not $400,000 a year; it is less than $50,000.
Now. we ask. could more scoundrelly lies be condensed into eleven lines of
type than the “Journal” has embodied in the extract just quoted. The article is
a column long. Every line is as mendacious as these. There is not one syllable
of truth, fair play or common decency from beginning to end of it. The man
who wrote it would steal or murder. There is no crime he is not capable of, if his
courage is as reckless as his conscience.
AMUSEMENTS
Bijou Theatre.
For next week commencing Monday.
May 12 the Blaney Stock Company at the
B»Jou will present the famous American
comedy-drama, “The Electrician. ’ This
play has been Mr. Blarfey’s particular
pride, and one of his greatest successes,
and its presentation next week at tl.e
Bijou will be in the nature of a revival.
Seenically and otherwise it has been
greatly elaborated and improved. It deals
with the love of Tom Edson, an ambitious
electrician, for Edith Sessions, a wealthy
young lady moving in the most exclusive
circles of society. She is the daughter of
a banker, who saves the Edson electric
plant from going into the hands of the
sheriff by satisfying the mortgage. Her
father, however, has a business partner,
Keneth Sauvage, who is also madly in
love with Edith, and uses every means in
his power to accomplish the ruin of youi g
Edson, in whom he recognizes an uncon
rm ■
so much needs after playing the long and
exacting part for six months. Her ac
tual New York appearances by no means
end with the present engagement, for Mr.
Belasco will transfer Mrs. Carter’s tri
umphant portrayal of La du Barry to the
stage of the new Belasco Theatre Repub
lic, opening there about September 1.
This will be glad news to many who have
not yet been able to secure seats at the
Criterion. It is a unique and really gen
erous stroke of managerial policy which
decides a manager of Mr. Belasco's keen
insight and judgment to close such a
sweeping success in the very height of its
prosperity. It is announced that seats are
on sale for all remaining performances
to the end of the engagement.
To Follow Mrs. Carter.
Blanche Bates has just scored one of the
most remarkable runs ever scored by a
theatrical star in Neve York, her total ap
pearance there in “Under Two Flags
counting up to 300. David Belasco was
present at the last performance, but could
not be prevailed upon to make a speech.
When asked, however, concerning the fu
querable rival. Sauvage. in order to de
stroy the workings of the electric plant
and the future of his rival, employs a
j drunken man by the name of Turner,
who works in the plant, to tamper with
the wires. His plot is discovered by Tom
Edson's father, and fearing if his per
fidy should become public it would mean
his ruin, he adds the crime of murder to
his treachery, ar.d take3 the life of Tom
Edson’s father.
Young Edson, plunged In despair at the
death of his father, and wishing to leave
i the scene of his bereavement, gives up
j the electric plant and leaves for the
! golden West, to tempt fortune In the min
ing camps of Colorado. Fortune smiles
upon him there, and he secures control
of the richest mine in Cripple Creek and
amasses a vast fortune. W hile there he
meets Turner and learns of the details of
the crime that robbed him of a father
and forced him to leave the home of h’s
childhood. He obtains Information that
puis him on the track of Sauvage. traces
him down, confronts him with the evi
dence of his crime and eventually turns
him over to the officers of the law.
All of the present favorites will be’ seen
in “The Electrician," including Mr. Hall, j
Fenwick, Turner, Pierson. Vedder, ;
Streeter. Fisher, Mr. Fisher playing a
delightfully funny Irish part and of j
course singing some of his famous songs. 1
Mr. Streeter will play Charles Yorke. ‘
Mies Atwood will play Edith Sessions, the
banker’s daughter. Besides the regular ,
members of the cast. Miss Lottie Wil
liams Salter, who made such a big hit in
the part of the cash girl in “Only a Shop
Girl," has been specially engaged to play
thc soubrette role, Nellie Randolph, called
“The Belle of Cripple Creek," and Miss
Anna Baily Robertson has been secured
to play the very important comedy role
of Mrs., Mary Topper of the Palace 'Hotel, I
Cripple Creek. Col. There will be the I
usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees, i
Academy of Mnsie.
Tt will" be a pleasure for our theatre
goers to anticipate the coming of "East
Lynno" at the Academy of Music the
■week of May 12. It is one of the few
plays that has stood the test. Its popu
larity has expanded instead of diminished
by age. the public having an intelligent
appreciation of its dramatic value and i
the moral it teaches.
Of Miss Leah Lessi. who will appear!
as Lady Isabel and Madame Vine, it may
he said that the most logical point from j
which to view an actress's work is per- i
haps that of its effect upon her audience, i
Miss Less! depicts the human emotions j
so that she causes her audience to laugh 1
with her and suffer with her, and if that j
isn't good evidence that she is a clever !
actress then it Is impossible to prove her j
or.e. The management has surrounded j
Miss Less! with an acting company that :
will do full justice to every character, j
This will be the closing week of the I
Academy.
Vaudeville Performance for Benefit
of the Academy Attrohes.
I The vaudeville entertainment which will
] be given at the Academy of Music Monday i
evening. May 19, under the auspices of the j
attaches of the theatre, promises to be
one of the best entertainments of the kind
ever given -in this city.
TherV will be twelve acts, and' some of
the best artists In the business have been
engaged. The regular prices of the house
will prevail and every lover of vaudeville
should attend the performance.
Criterion Theatre.
It cannot be doubted that the one su
preme success of the closing New York
season is Mrs. Leslie Carter's great per
formance of the title part of David Be
lasco's play “Du Barry,” now rounding
out its phenomenal run at the Criterion
Theatre. Mr. Belasco has rMused point
edly all overtures that have been made
to him with a view to extending the en
gagement Into mid-summer, for he pre
fers to consider the welfare of his bril
liant star rather than the tempting re
turns that are offered him. Accordingly
Mrs. Leslie Carter and “Du Barry” are
entering upon the closing weeks of their
present run, as the engagement at the
-Criterion will end May 31. This is only,
however, to give Mrs. Carter the rent she
ture plans for his star, he replied that
Miss Bates would not again be seen in
New York City until her appearance in
the new play he is now writing for her.
He added that the production of the new
Blanche Bates play would take place at
the Belasco Theatre Republic, following
Mrs. Leslie Carter in "Du Barry,” which
attraction will open the new theatre early
in September. Miss Bates and her com
pany will now go on the road for four
weeks, after which Mr. Belasco's star will
rest for the summer. She said last even
ing that she did not know the nature of
the part In which her appearance at the
Belasco Theatre Republic would be made,
but that she Is content to leave this en
tirely to Mr. Belasco. It is rumored that
the play will be something strikingly
novel, hut Mr. Belasco Is maintaining the
same secrecy about it that marked the
tew months preliminary to Mrs. Leslie
Carter's first appearance as "Du Barry.”
BoVsco’s Now Thon'rn.
The official name of David Belasco’s
new theatre at Forty-second street and
Broadway. New York City, will be "The
Belasco Theatre Republic."
AN EPITOME OF EXCELLENCE.
Many New Things to Be Sara for
tho First Time.
As circus day approaches there is con
siderable curiosity as to what there will
he of especial interest to see. Many rea
ders of this newspaper nave inquired into
the subject and it is a difficult thing to
make an adequate reply. The Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers Shows are ad
vertising so many features this year that
their list is a literal embarassment of
riches. The features most mentioned in
the newspapers of New York. Philade -
phia, Brooklyn and other Eastern cities
where these shows are the only ones to
ever exhibit in those cities, may be nam
ed here, for there is the positive pledge of
the management that the snows as seen
here will be exactly the same in every de
tail as they were In those cities.
Naturally the feature to receive the
most mention -was Diavalo’s sensational
looping the loop on a bicycle. Then came
the Aurora Zouaves. It was the first tim^
they have ever been seen In a circus, al
though they ..ave been the central figure
and the first prize-winners at all the in
terstate dri.l contests held m the United
States in many years. Then, too, they
had just returned from Europe, where
they had startled those nations where
every man must spend a part, if not all,
of his life as a professional soldier. No
bility and royalty freely acknowledged
the superiority of these American citizen
soldiers as superior to their vast armies
of generations of soldiers and nronounced
the Aurora Zouaves the best urllled so.

U. S. Cavalry came next, as they are be
yond all doubt the greatest military
horsemen on eurth and genuine heroes
whose records form proud pages in the
war records of our country.
Coming to the circus proper, another
greate feature Is the riding. There are
no less than the twenty-three champion
bareback riders of the world, including
the great quintette of equestriennes.

horse act ever seen—the only circus act
ever encored at Madfkon Square Garden,
New York City. Minting, the Marvel, in

LETTERiiYOUHG LADIES
From the Treasurer of the Young
People’s Christian Temperance
Association.
Miss Elizabeth Caine, Fond du Lac, Wis.
The advent of womanhood is fraught with dangers which even careful
mothers too often neslect. Some of the dangers are belated and suppressed
menstruation. The lily droops on its stem and dies before its beauty is
unfolded.” It is well demonstrated in Miss Caine’s letter that Lydia E.
Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound is certain to assist nature to perform
her regular duties, and young women who are irregular, or have any ailment
peculiar to their sex should hasten to commence the use of Lydia E. Pink
liam’s Vegetable Compound, and then sit down and write a letter to Mrs.
Pinkham telling her all about their illness; she will give the ease careful
and motherly consideration, and advise just what to do to get well; she considers
such letters strictly confidential; she will charge nothing, and' thousands of
young women owe their present health and happiness to her advice.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women wbo are ill to writ©
her for advice. Address Lynn, Mass., giving full particulars.
MISS ELIZABETH CAINE.
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I want to tell you and all the young ladies
of the country, how grateful I am to you for the benefits I have received
from using Lydia 13. Pinkkain’s Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
eight months from suppressed menstruation, and it affected my entire sys
tem until I became weak and debilitated, and at tunes felt that I had a
hundred aches in as many places. I only used the Compound for a few
weeks, but it wrought a change in me which I felt from the very begin
ning. I have been very regular since, have no pains, and find that my
entire body is as if it was renewed. I giadly recommend Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound to everybody."—Miss Elizabeth Caixe,
G9 W. Division St., Fond du Lae, Wis.
When the young girl’s thoughts become sluggish, when she experi
ences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposi
tion to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for
solitude, ana a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery
to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly.
At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change,
and is the surest reliance for woman’s ills of every nature.
When you ask for Mrs. Pinklinm’s medicine at your druggist,
do not be persuaded to take something else said to be “ just as
good.” Nothing in tko world is so good for women’s ills.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
‘ Municipal Affairs” for Sprint:.
The current issue of “Municipal Af
fairs." the periodica! published by the
New York Reform Club, contains a most
interesting symposium upon municipal
monopolies. It embraces a report prepar
ed by a lawyer, an accountant and an
economist upon the street railway fran
chises of New York City, which are
shown to be worth over $130,000,000. An
investigation has also been made into the
municipal electric-lighting plant of Chi
cago by the accountants, Haskins & Sells,
which is interpreted by Professor John R.
Commons, who shows that the municipal
plant has been entirely successful and is
a valuable asset to the city. Another ar
ticle Is by an Italian engineer upon the
street Railways of Milan—another in
stance of municipal activity, the tracks
being owned by the city and rented to a
private corporation. The issue contains

PECULIAR ARTESIAN SPRING.
Interesting Feature of the Texts
Water Supply.
! One of the interesting features of the
water supply of Texas Is the occurrence
of unusual artesian springs which flow
from the rocks at the foot of the escarp
ment which bounds the southeastern por
tion of the Edwards Plateau. These wa
ters are found, in springs at Austin, in
the San Marcos River at San Marcos, at
San Antonio and elsewhere. They issue
from the ground In strong, gushing
springs, and flow away in bold streams
, which form the source of lakes and rivers.
| A careful study of their behavior shows
! that their flow is not constant, but fluc
\ tuates between a high and low discharge.
It has also been discovered that these
: changes bear a remarkable resemblance,
both In time and amount, to the fluctua
tions of rainfall on the Edwards Plateau:
the crest of the rainfall curve over this
region being followed with great precision
, by the crest of the discharge curves oi
) the springs. This similarity has been
! found to hold true for dry and wet years
i alike. The Edwards Plateau is a flat,
: grass oovered upland, Pi.000 square miles
or more In extent. The rain which fails
i Upon it does not flow off in surface
' streams, but sinks into the porous soil,
! and eventually rtnds It way underground
I to the bold scarp line o fthe region, where
it bursts out In the abundant springs.
The San Antonio River has its source
In one of these artesian springs, and be
tween it and the wells driven to suppfv
water to the city of San Antonio there
seems to be close connection, shown In
I their mutual changes, which indicates
I that their waters have ft common source,
i it was recently noticed that when the
i wells were steadily drawn upon for twen
i ty-four hours the water level of the head
lake of the river fell several inches, but
that on shutting off the well* the lake
regained its level in about one day. So
intimate is the relation between the flow
i Of the wells and that of the river, that
I it is always possible to tell how high the
| water will rise in the former by observing
the river’s height on a gauge rod placed
upon its hank. ,

I the State's water resources is important,
