The Penn's Grove record., 1899-12-15

There is a movement in some parts
OF the State to do away with municipal
elections in the spring and to have local
officials elected with the County. State
and National officials in the fall. The
plea is that the spring election is so ex-
pensive and that so many people take
no interest in it; that partisan politics
rule in the spring election as well as in
the fall. There is a grain of truth in
all this, but not enough to change the
time. 1t is truly expensive to the poll
ticians who spend money to get elected
to a local office that pays nothing, and
1t would be economical for the local
lights to be carried into office by the
money furnished by the trusts and cor
porations to carry the fall elections,
but by such a change Trusts and cor
porations would rule more strongly and
economically to them than now. In-
stead of consolidating the Spring and
Fall elections, the National should be
separated from the State elections by
having them on alternate yeals, so that
State and National issues can be voted
upon separately.

The announcement by the agents OF
the Window Glass Trust that the works
at Bridgeton and Quinton will not be
operated this year will not be welcome
news to the workmen. The Trust has
not only increased the price of glass to
every man who wants a window glass
or a bottle, but also the rate of wages.
Those who work in the factories Of the
Trust elsewhere will be benefited, but
hundreds of workmen who are at those
factories which are shut down will not
be likely to relish their share of the
protection and prosperity ~ they have
voted solidly for, while the proprietors
who sold out to the Trust retire from
active business and still draw their pro
fits. 1t will be bad for the working
mel and the other business enterprises
of those towns, and also an object les
son of the workings of the widely pro-
claimed protection and prosperity (tor
the trust magnates) that should bear
fruits in the workingmen's minds.

"what Happened to Jones.

An advance notice says: The
well know comedian Harry Corson
Clarke will be seen here Saturday
night, Dec. 30, in the most laugh
able OF modern farces entitled
"What Happened 10 zones. "
Quaint, dignified and Legitimate in
his stage methods he has made a
decidedly favorable impression in
the role Of the impurtable, breezy
drummer who in a moment OF
necessity, to save himself from
arrest, dons a Bishops clothes and
and so gets himself into the most
| ludicrous situations. While ex-
tremely funny, "What Happened
to Jones', is a comedy Of q refined
order and although the merrimenI
and laughter are continuous there Il
nothing said or done that could
offend the most fastideous. Mr.
Clarke is rapidly advancing to tn,
front rank in his chosen profes
sion and his success is well de
served for he is most conscientioul
and painstaking, which qualities
added to his well known natura
talents are sure 10 bring about Tn,
best results. He has engaged al
excellent company and will pleas
all with his bright laughabl
comedy.

hitting well and hard when IL was es-
sential and fielding sharply when the
Grays were on the hunt for runs.
Providence was out-batted and OUT
fielded, and but for a rally in the fourth
inning there would have been another
instance OF whitewash. In that inning
Whiting led off with a two-base hit
and Corridor hit the ball for two more
and one run. Hernon went out on
fly, Walters sent a single to left and
and on a long fly TO center by Cassidy
Corridor scored Harry Davis hit TO
center field for three bases. An effort
TO field the ball in and cut off Davis
at third base went wrong Roats throw
going over Smiths head and Davis fol-
lowed Walters over the plate and put
Providence one run ahead.
That lead was held until the NTH,
when Bannon opened with another hit
and Corridor hit Wagner. Gray sent
a fly to center and Whiting muffed IL.
This filled the bases. Jud Smith swung
at ball waist high and drove IL 10
right center for a hit and two runs and
Hanivan followed with another single
and the third run in this inning was
scored by Gray.
The visitors got one more in the sixth
that might have been cut out by per-
feet fielding support. Rothfuss singled,
but when Williams tried to sacrifice
Davis got the ball and sent it TO second
for double play. The ball went wide
and Clancy could not get IL. Bannon
did not get hit this time, but although
Cassidy played the ball for a double
play and retired two men. Rothfuss
scored from third on the play. Their
eighth and last run was scored in the
ninth on a couple of hits, wild throw
and a wild pitch by Corridor.
Corridor did not pitch poor ball. by
any means. He was against one OF the
