tonight in the Delaware river at the

Policeman Zaeser heard the clergyman
cry for help, but owing TO the darkness
was unable TO locate the direction from

who had also heard the cry reached the

Shortly after the cries were heard two
men are known to have run away from

the crime. What the clergyman was do

the motive for the crime are mystery.

The Princess bonnie.

The Princess Bonnie is a charming
opera, by the author of THE Little Jy-
coon" 1t is being presented at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,
and holds on well to success; in fact, the
increasing popularity of Willard Sponsors
pretty opera promises that its run will con-
tinue far into the summer. Monday
night of last week The Princess Bonnie"
reached its fiftieth performance, and the
occasion was celebrated as a souvenir
night, and all the ladies having reserved

members of 'The Princess Bonnie" com

week, the full measure of which they had

the full success of the occasion came in
the nature of a surprise, for that night

few theatres in the Quaker City have wit
messed for many years.
The cooling apparatus at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, has been put in working
order and on the first warm nights will
dispense iced air to the patrons of the
theatre. A ten.horse power electric
motor will furnish the power to move the

expected to attend indoor performances

THERE are some people who express
surprise at the many vetoes sent in by
Gov. Werts of the reform bills presented
by the Republican Legislature. There is
nothing astonishing In this action of the
Governor. He has long since shown that
he is in no sense reformer, but Demo-
cratic politician of the shrewdest class,
and he has also given evidence that every
move from the gubernatorial chair shall
be for the benefit of the party he repre-
