Messrs. Thearle and Cooper, under whose
management Pains Fireworks Amphithe-
atre at Atlantic City is conducted, an
nounce their opening for July 4th, with a
monster pyrotechnic display. IL is to be on a
scale of magnificence and grandeur hith-
erto unseen in this country. The great
fireworks manufacturers, James Pain &
Sons of London and New York, have in
vented and will produce on this occasion
some of the most novel and marvellous de-
vices ever attempted in their line. There
will be brilliant arial gems, gigantic bombs,
enormous rockets, aquatic wonders, appro-
pirate national set pieces and portraits and
innumerablc great, grand and b~ewildering
surprises.
The first production OF Pains gorgeous
military spectacle the Turning of Mos
cow will be given July 18th, and there
after every Thursday and Saturday evening
and on special DECISIONS, as announced, dn-
ring July and August. This wonderful
spectacle is one of the most colossal pro-
ductions ever presented in America. 1t is
a correct historical representation of that
terrible seige, heroic, patriotic and awful
burning of the City of Moscow in 1912.
Over three hundred people take part in The
entertainment, appearing in the correct
and picturesque costumes of that ancient
CITY. the idol of every Russian heart, wildly
reproducing the sports, athletic exercises
and holiday revels of those days. The
burning of the city will be followed by a
brilliant display of PAINS celebrated Man
haitian Beach fireworks.
Special and excursion trains leave for all
points after the performance.
The famous Moscow Military Band will
perform the special and beautiful music
composed and arranged by p. 5. Gilmore.

One of the richest treats of tho week was
the lecture delivered by Miss Moore in the
First Presbyterian Church. She came
under the auspices Of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union, and that society
certainly ought to be congratulated for
being able to present to the people some
new phases of the temperance question.
Whether people are Republicans, Demo
Gratis or Prohibitionists, whether they be-
lieve in high license, middle license, low
license or no license, they must admit that
the question Of temperance is one of the
issues of the day, and seldom is any sub
ject presented in so able and logical a
ner as the theme discussed by Miss Moore.
Her word pictures are remarkable, and in
speaking upon what she terms the faliacy
of making the liquor traffic respectable
through high license her description of one
of these respectable saloons is most vivid.

Miss Moore will speak at the Fourth of
.July celebration to be held at Woodstown.

EIiIIfy of Mosquitoes.

It is well sometimes to look on the bright
side of dark things. There is the musqui-
to, for example. Pest as the female is
lit is only the female that bites), the mos
quito is for a large part of its existence a
useful member of society. Fortwenty-one
days, the period of its larval state, it is en-
gagged in sanitary work of the utmost i'm
portance. Wherever there is dirty water,
or a filthy drain. the mosquito Larvae are
hard at it, as eager in %devourIng the CON
Eliminating matter as the full fiedged insect
afterwards in preying upon its human vic
tim. One hardly feels eqnal, however,
when listening to its midnight song or
smarting from its poisonous sting, to 4
very lively sense Of gratitude for services
rendered i'll its embryo state.

This attraction will be followed by the
Sallie Hinton Dramatic Company, who

World" a strong and thrilling drama,
with amusing specialties, something on the
order of ''Nobody's Claim will be pro-
duced, and sometime during February
''Old Put, or the Heroes of II" a most ex-
citing military drama, dealing with the
days of General Putnam, has been engaged.
Negotiations for several attractions, such
as John Thompson, in "Around the
World, "Si Plunkard," with his country
