HUMANITY This evening) at the
inuimv of MubIo "Humanity." a
melodrama by Sutton Vane will have
Its first production In this city. It
will be repeated Friday evening. This
melodrama Is said to tbe the best that
has yet come from the pen of Mr. Vane.
Love and the fortunes of war are min
gled to such a degree of nicety that the
attention of the auditor is never slack
ened. The picturesque hunting scene
at the olose of the first act; the ruined
English abbey; the Transvaal war and
the splendid display of stage mechan
ism in the explosion scene, are ull
worthy of commendation. "Human
ity" demands the services of a large
corps of actors, and the company fur
nished by Manager Brady la equal to
all requirements.
THOMAS E. SHEA The coming of
the popular young actor, Thomas E.
Shea, to this city always awakens a
feeling of pleasure among theater
goers because they realize they are
sure of seeing good plays, well put on
tne stago and well acted, at prices
within their means. His hold on the
people Is wonderful, yet. when you
come to think of It, it is not surprising
that Mr. Shea has a warm spot in many
nearis. He knows what the nennle
want and gives it to them. Best of all
he makes his prices so reasonable that
every one can afford to see him, no
matter how humble his olrcumstances
may be. He will be at the Academy

said: "The large Town Hall wu filled
to witness 'The Engineer.' The play
Is similar to 'Blue Jeans,' 'Alabama'

All of the scenery Is new and the stage

VBAT THE ftSSESSC3S SAY
Presented Their Case la an Informal
Way to the Conncilaien.
OP CRBAT SERVICE TO CITY
If It la to Get All the Taxes It la En
titled to, Assistant Assessor, a
Clerk and Assssaors Working
Fall Time Are Necessities.
Owing to Us lnaBUIty to 'muster a
quorum the Judiciary committee of com
mon council did not meet last night to
consider the resolution cutting down the
city assessors' salaries to $400 a year
and doing away with the assistant as
sessors In years other than the triennial
year. A number of councllmen, how
ever, who happened In sat around and
discussed the matter Informally with
Assessors H. D. Jones and Rudolph
Buensll, who were on hand to argue
against the resolution, and Common
Councilman Joseph Oliver, who waa
there to look after the Interests of the
board of revision and appeals.
To show the inadvlsabillty of the pro
posed doing away with the assistant
assessors, Assessors Jones and Buensll
held that It was Impossible for the three
assessors to make as thorough and com
plete an assessment as twenty-one men,
each having "a personal acquaintance
with every man, woman, child, horse,
cow and dog" in his respective ward.
These assistant assessors Instead of be
ing an expense to the city are a paying
Investment The additional number of
dogs.oows and horses, particularly dogs,
that they manage te hunt up each year
more than pays their salaries. Six years
ago there were one hundred and twenty
five dogs on the assessment books, now
there are 2,866, for each one of which the
city receives $1.60 and In some cases $2.
Thus, as can be readily seen, the ex
pense of the actual work of assessing
the real estate of the city Is paid for by
the dog taxes, the compensation of the
assistant assessors being about $3,000
per annum.
Arguments ef the Assessors.
To combat the wisdom of that part of
the resolution fixing tne remuneration
of the board of assessors at $4 a day,
with one hundred days as the limit of
time In which they are to be employed,
many strong arguments were produced
to show the necessity of their being con
tinually employed; and Incidents were
given to prove the wisdom oi such a
policy. During the past year by nose
ing about the assessors have discovered
taxables, which have heretofore escaped
assessment, one from which sufficient
revenue will be derived to pay the ex
penses of the assessors' department for
six years. The main part of this was
coal lands in Hyde Park and Provi
dence, the surface of which has, hereto
fore, only been assessed.
With the same kind of business argu
ment the assessors made their clerk,
Georgo Heusner, a benefit Instead of a
burden to the city treasury by sending
him out to hunt up persons who have
no real estate but who are liable for oc
cupation tax. By reference to the poll
books, registry lists and the county
commissioners' office four hundred tax
able cltliens were discovered, who had
been paying state and county tax in or
der to vote, but who had been avoiding
the city assessors and escaping tly
taxes. These four hundred people were
worth at leaBt $2,000 to the city treas
urer, so when the clerk's annual hire of
$600 ia deducted It can be seen that .the
city Is a net gainer of $1,400. ...-
Us Does the Work Freely. '
It should be borne In mind, therasses-
sore remark, that the clerk la mt sup
posed to leave the office and dM this
additional worn without additional
compensation ana without any campui
slon whatever.
The assessors estimate that ane 1896
assesmentwlll show an Increase valu

THE THREE GUARDSMEN.
(Uvea a Flae Production by Salvlal and
Company.
A fine production of "The Three
Guardsmen" waa given by Alexander
Balvlnl and company at the Academy
of Music last night For the romantic
drama Salvlal seems best nttea al
though he has met with no little suc
cess In other departments of the drama.
The Three Guardsmen" la a drama
tisation of the novel of that name from
the pen of Dumas who has woven a
most Interesting romance of the times
In France when might was right and
all questions of honor were settled by
appeal to the sword. In dealing with
this period of the history of chivalry
Salvlui as D'Artagnan seemed Imbued
with the spirit of that age. One of his
striking characteristics on the stage is
the tremendous energy that he dis
plays. The play is full of life and ac
tion and one less , active than Salvlnl
would seem but a tame and common
place D'Artagnan, one who did not
measure up to the full requirements
of Dumas' hero. His Is the impetuos
ity that surmounts all obstacles and
turns defeats into victories and Just
that kind of Impetuosity Salvlnl most
faithfully portrayed.

ceptable Cardinal Richelieu while Wal

company who did excellent work were

HAN'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Oeadlaa Day, of Feltzvllle, Recently In
jured, Carried from His Baraing
Ilome.
Fire broke out In the residence of
Obadtah Day in Feltsvllle, Taylor bor
ough, at 11:16 last night, and Mr. Day
who" was recently injured In the mines,
was almost suffocated before he could
be taken out of the house.
The injured man was resting on a
cot In a room on the second floor and
his family was fast asleep. The fire
originated In the basement where the
kitchen is located and burned behind
the partitions for a long time before It
broke ' out and filled the house with
striding smoke. Mr. Day awoke his
wife, who first got the children out safe
ly, and she could not attempt to remove
her husband on aocount of his injuries.
She had to get help and while she was
arousing the neighbors, a task some
what difficult owing to the lateness of
the hour, the imprisoned man was suf
fering ntense agny. Fnally when help
came and he was got out he was very
weak from the smoke.
The Taylor Hose oompany responded
but the line of hose was too short to
reach from the hydrant to the fire. The
bucket brigade was pressed Into service
and they sucoeeded In putting the fire
out. The damage to the house will not
go beyond $200.

Mark Twain says "cauliflower Is not. .
ing but cabbage with a col less educa-
tion." That's about the difference, at
the present time between made to or.
der and ready mads clothing. ' The
name's different, but as far as praotl- 1
cal service and actual appearance arn
concerned It would take an expert to
tell one from the other if WE sell you
the ready made. We've made a repu
tation in this line and couldn't havs
done so, had we not had better good
to offer than the other fellows and at .
lower prices. We've a stock of good .
that an artist would rovel in full of
blending colors and suggestive strong
ly of the latest fashion plates.
Which Will Yon Have?
Not where shall you buy will be the
question to decide after you'vs paid
us a visit. You'll see what you like
right at the start, and the further youv
look the more that you like will you V
see. The prices will be right we'va
attended to that; marked them low .
enough to have no question about the)
selling. And the plain, the fancy, tho
ray, tne neat, the gaudy, will be found
here In great variety and to suit sny.
