Grand Opera nouse-.rhe witch, /,

Marie Hubert Frohman will reappear
at the Grand Opera House in her now
famous play 1.-The Witch this and to-
morrow evenings and tomorrow after
noon. Amid the numerous meiodramatic
efforts that appeal for recognition from
one moon to another such play is some
thing Of pleasant t,surprise in its,dissimi
larity fiom the ordinary play and its ap-
prosch to originality The intrinsic
merit Of the play-and it is difficult to
discover any at all in most plays-is that
its leading purpose is to illustrate in q
striking way very notable epoch In
early American history. Il produces in
a memorable manner for the observer
what the school history may fail to re-
produce as a living reality Of the past
Marie Hubert Frohman's acting Of the
title role is worthy Of the highest com.
mendation, and she is supported by a
company that is far above the average.
On the whole it is such a stage represen-
tation as we hear about, but seldom see.

defies description. This is the second year
Of "a Crazy Lott quite a number of new
features are added, including the marvel
lous Lenton Bros, champion acrobats and
comic hat throwers of the world. Their
make up as Chinese, is very funny, causing
roars OF laughter the whole of the time
they are on the stage. Speaking of the
performance the Newark Daily Adcertlser
says:
"a Crazy Lot" is the title of a comedy,
containing touches of pantomime. which
began a weeks engagements at the Grand
Opera House, last evening. The name
itself promises plenty of fun and the play
bears out the promise of he name. 1t is
an entertainment quite out of the common
run. The cast is headed by James X.
Adams, the we'll known clown aud somed-
ian, and the wonderful Lenton Brothers,
in their new Chinese song and dance, comic
hat throwing and aerobatic feats. Their
makeup is certainly laughable. The
other members of the company are well
selected for ability to sing, dance and put
snap into a play of this kind. Among the
attractive aud clever women of this oom-
pany may be mentioned Miss Hattie Gro
YER, Miss Nellie Franklyn and Miss Maggie
Walker

stand in their sitting room at their home,
about p miles south of Mullica Hill, the
hook holding the hanging lamp, directly
over the stand, pulled out or gave way,
and the lamp fell upon the stand and then
into the lap of Mrs. Smith, setting her
clothing on fire. She sprang to her feet
and ran out of the house into an adjoining
yard, with her clothing all on fire and the
blaze sweeping above her head. Her hus-
band did what he could to rescue her,
burning his hands terribly, but all to little
purpose, her clothing save the shoes, De-
ing burned completely off, and she was so
frlghtfully burned as to live only a few

Free Mail

An organized effort is under way among
farmers co secure from Congress free mail
delivery in country towns. The Farmers
Alliance. Patrons of Husbandry, and other
Orders are nanvassing the matter. Letters
are being written to Congressman in favor
of the project, and petitions TO Congress
for free delivery are being circulated in
many parts of the country.
Farmers assert that a daily mail delivery
to their door will add perceptibly to the
money value OF their farms, and will be
worth still more because it will keep them
in touch with markets and the outside
world, and rob farm life of its isolation and
monotony. The farmers are writing to the
agricultural press that this convenience
would enable them quite generally to take
a daily paper as we'll as to subscribe for
the local papers more literally.
In the american Agriculturist for Nov
enber, Postmaster-General Wanamaker
states definitely for the first time that the
experiments made by the Post Office De-
partments for free delivery In the farming
districts show that the increase of revenue
more than pays all the increased expense.
He believes that universal free delivery
would therefore be self-sustaining.
Mr.. Wanamaker's article also contains
tnlS statement VI tEt case NLtu n tOWu
grows to 10, 900 population and puts down
footwalks and puts up numbers on the
houses. the. Post Office Department 10
authorized by Act of Congress to establish
a carrier service to deliver mail matter at
the doors of houses and offices. As the
town increases postal stations are estab-
lished. Thus the postal service keeps pace
with the growth of the town. While all
this postal work is going on at the thlckly
populated points, the farmers, quarrymen,
b~lacksmiths, millers, and artisans, all pay
ing the regulation rates Of postage, are
left to get their mail as best they can from
the Post Office in the village or at the
rally ay station.
In a hamlet of 100 houses perhaps sixty
persons from the village and the vioinage
make a daily pilgrimage of a distance of
from one block to two miles from the home
to the Post Office, to find out whether
there is any mail or not; and a hundred
more persons within the circle of the Office
do not iud il convenient to 60 to the Post
Office oftener than once a week. One
hundred or more persons each day, in all
weathers, are making trips to the Post
Office, often at great personal inconven-
fence and discomfort, when a single carrier
could once or twice each day make the
round of the village aud distribute the
