enthusiastic applause. Miss Snort Is
possessed of a charming manner, All ex-
ceileut voice. we'll trafued, an enthusiasm

her selections-enough to prove her q
fine elocutionist. "Tom's Little Star" is a
story of q stage struck girl, who studied
dramatic elocutlon" until she V by
turns as Hamlet and Juliet, finally going
on the stage to star the Western ~ciiies,'
but coming back home in less than a

reader, which Miss Short has a right to
be called. She also recited 0 the

several bright little bits as recalls.
The next most interesting NUMBER was

The tableaux, by the Kings Daughters,
were beautifully presented. The sub

young ladies chosen TO Interpret them,
performed their parts to perfection.

DEMOCRATIC POSTMASTERS,


IL OGGialOh IN <AnSCtS Odn0iu0LOS
for the Offices.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May IL. 1S93.-The
decision of the Postm aster General re-
garding the date of the expiration of the
terms of postmasters as telegraphed
Wednesday night. is really the most i'm.
portan5 utterance which has emanated
from the Post Office Department. 1t
makes public for the first time the posi-
ton of the department In this matter and
settles aquestion that troubled a great
many applicants for post Offices. 1t
concerns not only New Jersey places, but
offices all over the country, and is not
pleasant newsto the Democrats. either.
The effort which is being made TO have
Josiah N. Hewitt, the postmaster at
Woodstou, Salem County. removed, met
with a stumbling block in the shape of q
non-expiration OF term. When the en-
deavor to have a democrat appointed was
first made, the department was asked bv
Senator Smith when the postmaster's
term expired. No definite answer was
returned. but the Senator was told that
the President only could decide this in
quiry. Evidently since that reply was
made the administration has formulated
its policy. Postmaster Hewitt was ap-
pOlutou tApEtl III, 1000, Oui uo1 CouiulLS~
stoned until the following december.
He will PROBABLY stay in until next
December.
There are two applications on file at
the Post Office Department for the
Woodston office. John G.. Vensteai has a
petition signed by a number of residents
of the place, while w. H. StepIer has an
unendorsed application. There is also on
file a long letter, signed by the Rev.
David Stewart. saying that he understood
there were four applicants, but none of
them, he said, were fit for the place.
