in it Mr.. Crane is seen at his best.

Water Spurted to Roof Tops.

For a few minutes this morning
T Tlird street between Walnut and
4 oplar streets, was under several
inches of water. Workmen OF the
Water Department are charging
the pipes which carry the water
supply to Asbury Church, and it
was while making the connection
with the Third street main that a
fcrrule was forced out of the big
pipe. The water spurted to the
roofs of the houses on the street,
ovcrflowed the rain spouts and
flowed several inches deep down
the street. The workman who was
making the connection forced an
other ferrule into the opening and
thereby checked the flow of water.
While the water was squirting gcy-
ser like, traffic was stopped and al
most one hundred people gathered
about the place.

An Investigation.

Newark, N. J., Jan. 11.-Investi-
cation into the career of Harry G.
Freeman II years old, who has
been under arrest here since last
Tuesday night, show the detectives
cay, that he is one Of the most Sue
cessful Young forgers ever arrested
in Newark.
To many storeslin Newark and
nearby towns the lad sent orders
for goods, signing the names of
prominent citizens. Among those
he used in Newark were Dr.. A. G.
Ballentine of No. , West Park
street, and A. G. Balloon, principal
OF the Franklin School. In the
Oranges he forged the name of Dr.
Taylor, and in Morristown that of
DR.. Wright of No % High street.
Detective Donovan, who arrested
Freeman, found in his house large
quantity of goods. Among other
goods were hats paper shoes, col
lars, gloves. neckties, flowers, ice
cream and candy. The three arti-
cles last mentioned he bestowed in
profusion on young woman friend
in whose house he was arrested.
According to the police. the priS-
oner has confessed, saving he OBJ
taincd the articles to give to his
sweetheart and to sell them SO that
he could have money TO pay for "a
good time.

BLUE JEANS.

No village is really complete with
out a brass band and every country
horn blower believes that quantity
should take precedence a long way
before quality. There may not be
over a dozen men in the village
band, but it plays forth and some
times sounds like eighty. No better
caricature of the country band of
tradition has ever been seen on the
stage than the Rising Sun Rcarers
in Joseph Arthur's famous comedy
drama Blue Jeans, which will be
seen at the Opera House on Mon
dav night. They are typical coun-
trv band men, but with all that
they can play and play well; and
they are great feature of the per-,
formance. both on the stage and in
the orchestras where they dis
course sope very taking music.

.OissThursday night at the Opera
House will be presented for Mr..
Charles Frohman's production of
1.-THE Little Minister" taken from
Mr.. J. M. Barrie's famous novel of
that name. The announcement
that it is to be presented here will
be received with great pleasure.
Those who have read the book will
certainly want to see the play, and
those who have not read the book
have heard of the success the play
and story have achieved, and for
that reason they will also want to
witness the performance. Mr.. Froh-
man has had great difficulty in Sc
curing a company that could prop
erly portray the characters as they
appear in "The Little Minister" "
Everything absolutely necessary
for good production will be used.
