The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1893-12-12

A WRITER In the Dispatch, who signs
himself "a Grocer" finds fault with the
people of Mount Holly for not supporting
home trade, and complains that many go
to Philadelphia stores, often paying more
for the same goods than they would have
to give here. We are not prepared to say
that the complaint OF IA Grocer" is not
justified, but has he ever stopped to look
at it in another light2 He quotes Finley,
Acker & Co., of Philadelphia, as getting
much of the custom. How does that firm
get it? By advertising. They prepare cir
culars or catalogues which they mail to
all towns having communication with the
city. In these catalogues they set out the
value and prices of their wares. Some OF
the articles attract customer, who makes
large purchase in blissful ignorance OF
what he could do at home. Why? Be-
cause the merchants there failed, through
mistaken economy, to invest few dollars
in printers ink to let him know what
home prices are. There are in Mount
nOiiy HOI losS tuau ~ SroCoIy BUT %.
How many of them take any pains to in
form the public of what they have and its
price About half dozen, and we ven
ture TO say that they get good results from
their investment We have in mind,
now, one merchant who invariably de-
clines to advertise because his business is
already large enough. Another, in diff
ferent branch of business, was asked to
advertise to the amount of $40, with the
assurance that his bill, with $40 added,
would be expended at his store. His re-
ply, too, was that he had enough custom,
and did not want TO solicit any more
Certainly such men have no reason to
complain.

Annie Ward Tiffany, the well-known
actress who has made special feature of
motherly Irish role, appears on the stage
of the Park Theatre in Philadelphia this
week, in a new play entitled Lady Blair
ney." The story in brief is that OF an
Irish woman who is foster-mother to two
brothers, and who has been left an enor-
nous legacy by the father of the boys, in
trust for the youth who shows the best
character and aptitude for handling so
large an estate. One of course is very
good, and the other, very, very bad, and
the mishaps that befall the warm hearted
Irish woman in searching out the object
of her quest, and the obstacles thrown in
her way afford interest and excite the
feelings of the spectators. Annie Ward
TIffany's qualities as an actress are well
and favorably known. She possesses that
exquisite faculty of blending humor and
pathos in a way that plunges her audience
in tears. only to be aroused an instant
after by her unctious humor Miss Tiff
fany has a splendid company, and both
company and play are highly spoken of.
Paul Arthur and Robert billiard in Nat
Goodwin's THE Nominee" follows.
The house-hoat idea is favorite and
growing one with all classes of people; the
almost equal to the sumptuous fittings of
the Yachts, while those of lesser means can
charter a canal boat for week or ten
DAYS, live upon it, breathe the same air
and witness the same scenes at much
less price, The idea has been utilized by
J. w. Barrie to evolve an exceedingly
funny comedy. which will be presented at
the Walnut st. Theatre, Philadelphia, this
week, under the title of walker,
London" which, by the way, synony-
mixes with our Smith of Jersey or Jones
of Oshkosh. Mr.. Powers has enjoyed the
most splendid success this season with the
above comedy as the reason, and the prin-
cipaI role, that of barber, who, having
shaved many travellers and people of
notable lineage, masquerades as one of his
most prominent customers and travellers
in Africa, and as he does this through the
aid of another's belongings, the fun to be
evolved from the idea can be appre-
ciated. Much of the action takes place in
the house-boat. which is shown on the
stage, in canal boat on real water.
The Haymarket Theatre in Chicago was
on fire last week, and Lottie Collins was
PLAYING there 1t is said that she hoo
dooed the fire and thus saved the
Theatre.
William Gillette, the famous author and
actor plays but two engagements this
season, one at the Hollis St. Theatre, in
Boston. and the other in Philadelphia.
Madame Modjeska's reproduction of
"The Merchant of Venice" is said to be a
huge success.
Marie Jansen achieved a splendid sue
cess IN Philadelphia with "Delmonico's at
Six" Her receipts for the first week APP
preached $4,000.
Three stars born to the theatrical frma-
ment this season. Peter F. Daley, Marie
Jansen and Edwin Stevens, have been the
only ones to succeed in this capacity, and
they have all appeared at Manager
Howe's Theatre in Philadelphia.

Winter Tours via Pennsylvania Railroad
The final arrangements are now made
by the Tourist Bureau of the Pennsylva.
MIA Railroad Company for the running Of
its personally conducted tours for the COM
ing season. First and foremost in point
of magnitude and attractiveness come
those to California and Florida. The dates
for those of the former are January
3lst and Feb. %. The first date has been
selected so that en- route to the glorious
westernmost state of the union the Mardi
Gras festivities at New Orleans may be
enioved by the tourists. California will
command unusual attention this winter
by reason of the Mid-winter Exposition
to be held at San Francisco. This exhi'
bition promises almost to rival the
Worlds Fair in completeness. Many
eastern people have already decided to
attend.
Florida, always popular haven, still
Justly asserts its claim as the most de-
lightful part of our country in which tc
pass the inclement months OF the year
Five tours will be run there, January 30,
February l3, February 81, March IL and
March 81, have been chosen as the start
ing dates. $50 from New York, $48 from
Philadelphia, and an equally low rate
from other points will cover all expenses
en- route.
Old Point Comfort appeals strongly 70
those not caring to journey further from
home, and on December 26, this historic
spot will be visited by special tour.
Last come the tours to Washington, ID. e.,
on December IA and %. January Is, Feb
ruary s, March l and %. April IL and
May and "a.

guarantee that thorough and satisfactory
methods will be pursued IN conducting
these trips needs no additional testimo-

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 70, 1898.

IT is stated that ex Coroner John j.
Kelley will instigate proceedings against
several Burlington county newspapers for
libel, in publishing that he was guilty oil
collecting hundreds of dollars illegally
while in Office. 1t is said that his author
itv in acting almost from the start, he
claims was disputed, which will also be
tested.-Erchange
Certainly ex-Coroner Kelley will never
take any such foolish step. By his own
statement before the committee OF the
Board of Freeholders. in the presence OF
witnesses, he verified some of the accusa'
lions made against him. He admitted
that he had charged for services which
were never performed, and then took bis
solemn oath that he had done the work.
His excuse that he followed the action Of
his predecessor does not clear him, nor
would it aid him before court of justice.
THE News was the first paper to call at
tention to Kelley's acts, and we say right
here that if Mr.. ex-Coroner Kelly wants
to begin suit for libel, he may begin at
once. We have made no statement that
we cannot substantiate.

STONE ROADS occupied large share OF
attention of the Farmers Institute last
week, and it was very evident that the
subject still holds a prominent place IN
the minds of the people. There were
several speeches and the remarks of En-
NOR Roberts created profound attention.
Friend Roberts is deep thinker and a
careful speaker, and gives utterance to
no statements that he cannot verify. Mr..
Roberts said Il am an advocate of stone
roads, but I think there is great
chance for improvement in the manner OF
construction. The money of the county is
being wasted, the material used is poor
and the workmanship is no better. lride
daily over road that was built at town
ship expense, and it is now full of loose
stones. The road should never have
been accepted. 1t was robbery. We are
not getting value in many cases. There
should be better supervision to see that
the contractor does his duty" This is
plain common-sense talk and straight to
the point. We have got the law, we are
bound to build stone roads at great ex-
pense, and it behooves those in charge to
see that there is no neelecting of work.
One great abuse has been the action of
the so-called supervisors. The law pro-
vldes that these officers must devote
their entire time and attention to the
building OF roads and must personally over
see the work, yet there are supervisors
who have let the contractors go on with
out looking at their work except at inter
walls. With all the evidence now before
us there will be no excuse if the county
does not get the true value for the money
invested.

To THE surprise of many the Court last
week refused to grant one license and re-
voked another. With the surprise was
mingled satisfaction, as the cases were 80
plain and the evidence SO STRAIGHTFORWARD
and conclusive that it was difficult to see
how any other course could have been
pursued. OF course it was the evidence
that caused the result, although there are
Others who think the lesson read at the
last election had some effect. However
that may be, it is to be hoped that the &C
ton of the Court may be very beneficial
in bringing those engaged In the illegal
sale of liquor to their senses. The two
cases that appeared before the Court last
week are but drop in the bucket 1t is
rather unwise for any one to attempt to
make political capital out of last weeks
decision and claim that the Democratic
Judges have acted so well that it will be
to their party's gain. 1t must be remem-
bered that the Democrats have had
charge of the licensing question in this
county for several years. and the drink
ing places have increased materially In
the face of much opposition and in some
instances when the evidence against them
was nearly as positive as at the present
time. The Democratic Judges can repeat
their action of last week many times be-
fore they can claim any particular virtue
for themselves or their party.
