PHILLIPSBURG-Jan. 81, 1S99.-The
State Board of Assessors has found
that there are 14e deer, seven horses
Charles c.. Worthington, on the
and a mule in the private park of
western slope of the Blue Ridge. It
has determined that the deer, If wild, are
not wild enough to escape the sharp eye
of Tax Assessor Garris, of P~ahaquarry
Township, and that they must be held
assessable in the sum of 81, 100.
This decision was not at the
hearing of the board held here yesterday,
but it was intimated. 1t is a victory for
Assessor Garris. He was present at the
hearing supported by his brother, Town
ship Committeeman Reuben Garris.
Each had a goatee on his chin and was
dressed in his Sunday clothes. AND Reu-
ben wore for special decoration a huge
muffler of pepper and salt and blue.
1t is only a partial victory for the
Assessor. He had visions of a fee on
So. 900. which was his assessment on the
deer. and a fee on hat sum would be
something to talk about in P~ahaquarry,
where assessors might grow rich if rocks
and trees were assessable.
one of the witnesses at the hearing was
sHen" Salmon, the gamekeeper at Wor-
thington's Park. There is a tradition in
P~ahaquarry that Misunderstanding of
Cooper's misunderstanding Tales once
ranged the wooded sides of the Blue
Ridge, hunting deer. That was before he
went into the wilds of New York State.
Now. Salmon is recently from the Adj
~irondacks. where he was long a guide. He
is tall and gaunt, answering in these par
ticulars the description of Cooper's hero,
and the woodsmen of the Blue Ridge
have been stroking their boards and
thinking that this 'smout" be Leather
stocking himself, returned to his old
haunts.
Salmon is a typical mountaineer ana
guide. He has been five months game
keeper at Worthington Park. Asked
whether he knew how many deer were in
the Park, he announced:

Were they wild?''

BON Ton Theatre.


Next Monday afternoon at the Bon Ron
Theatre the Broadway Burlesquers VIII
begin an engagement of one week. This
company has earned for itself the nom de
plume of the m~illionaires OF vaudeville
and burlesque %splendor. and according to
the various clippings received from news
papers through the country it is repre-
sented as being bigger, better, breezier,
and the Barnum of them all. The COM
pany contains thirty-three artists of I'M
limited merit and present the first class
vaudeville olio. concluding with a snappy
and vivacious burlesque entitled "A
Naughty Night" The clio contains:
Harry LIE Clair. late LIE Clair and Leslie,
protean artist; Mcbride and Goodrich,
Irish comedy duo; Mitchell Sisters, two
lovely little girls who have just finished
an extended engagement at Coster &c
BiaPs; Merritt and Rozello, acrobatic
excentriques; Cohen and Gardner; Marie
Richmond; and Dave Lewis; also Barnett
and Rich, the greatest Of all song illus
traitors. The management of this attrac-
ton promises US one hundred and fifty
minutes of continual enjoyment and claim
they are giving a word to the wise when
they state Don't miss the Broadway
B~urlesquers." 1t is, however, but natural
to imagine that with such a grand aggre-
cation of vaudeville and burlesque talent
as the above names display, to state that
the Bon Ton Theatre will be filed to it's
utmost capacity at each performance next
week.

took place, then came the village band,
which played national airs, the drill of
the militia. then a dance in the evening,
constituting the events of he day. The
village minister appeared and took active
part: in fact everybody turned out and
had a royal good time. THE Village
Postmaster usually was captain of the
militia company, and was always con-
s.dered an authority, and was looked up
to as a great parsonage, having been APP
pointed Postmaster by the President of the
United States, naturally was the
Pooh-bah of the town, as well as being
q perpetual candidate for minor political
offices. The story of the 'Viilage Post
master begins on the morning of train
ing day. The authors have selected these
episodes in the old days way back in the
SOS for the vehicle of their play. The au-
thors, Mrs. Alice Ives and Mr.. Jerome
Eddy nave written these incidents up
with pretty appropriate dialogue as well
as having introduced many funny stu
atoms. These scenes are all true to life.

general store, which has everything for
sale, from a box of matches to a grind
stone, for here it is that the post office is
located, with Seth Higgins as the village
s~torekeeper, who is also postmaster. and
of course, knows ~everybody's business.
This is said to be a truly realistic scene;
one of the grand and masterful scenes in
the play is the rain storm of real water.

The scenes Of the play are laid in the
poverty patches of the great East Side,
in New York. Here, under the sombre
slladow of that great artery of civiliza-
ttion. the Brooklyn Bridge, the threads of
human destiny are woven into a powerful
and pathetic story that deals with the
poverty-blasted lives Of Hester n
Essie Dean, typical daughters of the poor.
The story tells Of the struggles of honest
poverty in he large eities-the struggle
for that elemental human right, the right
to exist. interviewer with this dark fab
ric of adversely are bright deeds Of phil
anthropy. The great white light of hui
man love is silhoutted against the black
shadow of human fate. The play repre-
sents the struggle Of the forces Of good
and evil for the mastery. These con-
hicting principles are embodied In d group
Of typical characters that are eminently
representative of our subtle and complex
civilization. The piece Is maGnifeently

AM SEMENTS


Forty odd years ago, in New England
and in many eastern n northern
States, the law compelled every law
abiding citizen to assemble once each
year, in the autumn, and drill in the
manual of arms. This formed the militia
of the small villages. The event was al
ways observed as a holiday and looked
forward to with much interest by the
people of the villages. 1t was called
General Training Day. The Woman
folk of those days came out in their
nets, changeable silk gowns that We're
worn in that day, and in fact, in their
best bib and tucker. The men resurfect-
ed their old-fashioned military uniforms,
of all colors and shapes, and strutted
about over the village green much to the

This rather stumped Rossiter, who
did not answer.

Smith, the superintendent of the park.
Twill you let me shoot if I go up?"
Yes, come up answered Smith.
Philip Dickson, a young Sussex farmer,
was employed in the park last year. He
said he never saw more than seven or
eight deer in a herd.
Were they wild or tame?'

Judge Shipman submitted a brief to
the board c~ontending that the deer were
not assessable. The board, however,
seemed to be of the mind of declaring
the assessment justified, but reduced 1t
to 81, 100.

With the advantages of mechanical
stokers for boiler furnaces known as we'll
as they are today, it does seem a bit
strange that the marine engineer has APP
parently not taken kindly to them; at
any rate they have not yet gained a foot
ing aboard ship. 1t is worth noting,
therefore, that what will probably be the
first mechanical stoker installation in ex-
stance afoat is now being fitted to the
boilers of one of the steamers of the Zen
it'll Transit Line, on the Great American
Lakes, plying between Duluth and Cleve-
land. The stokers will be those of the
American Stoker Company of New York
-of the underfeed type-and their per-
Torrance in their new field of operation
ought to prove an interesting engineering
experience. There is certainly no very
good reason apparent why some device
Of this class that will work well on land
should not work well at sea. The install
ment in his particular case will COM
prise six stokers, three under each of the
two boilers, and each of these groups is
guaranteed to be capable OF. burning 1,65o
pounds of coal per hour under ordinary
Conditions, and 200 pounds when forced.
