EN1ERTAINM E NT.S,
Hyperion Theater.

The all absorbing question now is What Happened to Jones?" On walls and in windows the query is to be seen, but public curiosity will soon be re- the Hyperion the much coveted infor- nation will be given, when G. H. Broadhurst's new comedy will be pre- sented. The engagement is for three nights, with Saturday matinee. The sale of seats opens on Wednesday at the box office. Evening prices, $1 75 cents, 50 cents and 25 cents, and mati- nee prices, 75 cents, 50 cents and 25 cents.
 George c. Boniface, jr., who is a member of George H. Broadhurst's S company engaged to illustrate What Happened to Jones" is one of the few comedians who is not superstitious He does not like the number 13, however. Boniface lives at Pleasure Bay and since the trolley cars run between that point and Asbury Park he spends a great deal of time on them. A few days ago while standing on the plat form of the car he noticed the number 13 painted on it.
 Good Lord, No. 13!" exclaimed the comedian, and hastily reaching into his vest pocket he pulled out a rabbits foot and rubbed it vigorously on the lapel of his coat. The conductor smiled and said You're trifle superstitious aren't you?"
 "Oh, not very" replied Boniface.
 'I thought you'd like to know" con- tinued the conductor carelessly, that you're the thirteenth fare I've had this trip" Boniface looked uneasy and made another dive for the rabbits foot. On reaching Asbury Park the car en- countered funeral. Half dozen car riages had passed when the motorman rang his gong and started ahead. The driver of the seventh carriage pulled up his horse. Boniface jumped about excitedly, Stop the car," he yelled.
 What for?" asked the conductor.
 What for?" shrieked the comedian: ''why we'll go right through the funeral and that is the most unlucky thing you can do."
 But the car went on and Boniface swearing loudly jumped off before the last or the luneral ndQ crossed.
 Pretty big funeral" said the con- ductor to another passenger.
 Not very" was the reply, q only counted thirteen carriages"

Good Way to Clean Ticking.

Here is practical way in which to
clean feather bed ticking and to air
and renovate the feathers: Take two
sheets and sew them up so as to form
case; make an opening, say o yard.
wide, in the tick, and second OPEN
ing of the same width in the case
made of the two sheets; sew these,
two openings together so that they
will not rip, and shake the feathers
out of the tick into the clean sheet
case. When the feathers have alf
been emptied sew up the sheet case,
after separating'it from the tick, and
put the feathers out on the roof in the
shade for an airing of several days.
turning the case every day. Do not
place it where the sun will shine on
the feathers, for it will cause an oili-
ness to come out which will make the
feathers heavy, and will produce an
unpleasant odor. Have the original
tick thoroughly washed, rinsed and
dried. Before returning the feathers
to it in the same way in which they,
were removed hang the sheet case up
for a day so the wind may blow
through the feathers. This will make
them light, and when returned to the
tick the feather bed will be as good as
new. Il

WHO WILL CONTROL LIQUOR:

Clash Between South Carolina and
Federal Authorities Over Seizures.
There is clash between the State
and Federal authorities over who is to
have control of the liquor in Bluen-
thai & Bickart's original package store
in Chester, which was closed some time
ago by State officers on the charge oi
selling to miners and out OF hours;
Attorney General Farber has notified
United States Marshal Hunter that the
liquor was the property OF the State
and ordered him not to touch it, but
the marshal's deputy telegraphed him
that he had possession OF the store, had
put his seal on the door and was also
guarding it. The fact that the deputy
Is in control is considered victory for
the Federal authorities.
Marshal Hunter seems more deter
mined since receiving orders from the
attorney general not to touch the
goods.
