There are enough novelties punched in

entertainment for a half dozen average
shows Besides the novelties there will
also be 1.-THE Girl with the Auburn Hair, .
who began her third successful week yes
terday and Nine. Hermann, the very
pretty magicienne, whose "a Night, in
Japan" made such favorable impression
last week. The new bill, by the way,
possesses a quintet of women entertainers
that has not been equaled in any single
entertainment. It would be difficult too
to find in one program five men whose
vafGo as entertainers would surpass that

1.-THE Editor, in which charming kath
ryn Osterman is to be seen, is highly
amusing farce. Miss Osterman is the
editor, and when an angry subscriber
calls she believes he is a relative. Roars
of laughter, it is said, are elected by the
lines and situations. Eva Williams is
probably the best impersonator of the
street Walt, and the act "Skinny's Finish,
in which Miss Williams and Jack Tucker
have hitherto scored hit here, will be a
feature of the program. From Boston to
San Francisco Miss Murray has been de-
clared the best of the women monolo-

After an absence of twenty-one years.
and having been mourned as dead for the
past two years, George W. Brock, ma
tive of Bridgeboro, walked into the resi-
dence of his brother, James E. Brock,
Camden, on Thursday, and was received
with open arms. When the mining craze
struck this section of the country, in 1870
Mr.. Brock, who was then ~ years of age,
like hundreds of others, hankered for
riches, and, bidding his parents and broth
ers and sisters goodby, he started West
to make his fortune. He staked off a
claim in Montana, and when time would
permit he would write to his people, tell
ing of his successes and reverses. These
letters, however, were months apart, ~and
about two years ago was the last time
they heard from him 1t was supposed
that he had joined the thr5ng journeying
to the Klondike, and had persisted in the
hunt for the yellow metal. On Thursday
night, while Mr. Brock was reading his
evening paper, knock came at the door,
and Mr. Brock answered it. A stranger
stood on the step and asked, "Can l come
in He was ushered into the parlor. and
although the brothers stood face to face,
Mr. Brock did not recognize his brother
until his wife cried out, It's George. !"
After the greetings George told of his life
for the past score Of years. He is still en-
gagged in the mining business in Montana,
and will return to that state in February.

A soheuner.

Harry Sapp, Of Tuckerton, paid this
town visit recently. He called upon
several friends and related some thrilling
narratives of his many expeditions to var
ious parts of the country, among them
being his trip to the Klondyke in search
of gold. He is quite fluent talker and
his stories were listened to attentively in
cigar stores and other places where he
visited. He called on friend Of his
father and stated that he had met with
the misfortune to lose his pocket book
which contained check for $50 and two
$40 bills and some change, amounting in
all to $74, aud that be would like to Dor
row enough to take him home. The kind
hearted gentleman cheerfully handed over
the IS to help him out of his predicament.
Sapp evidently did not think this was
enough to ''see him home" as he visited
another business man, recited the same
story and went on his way rejoicing with
another S5 bill tucked away in corner of
his vest pocket, This was the last heard
of his visit here.
On Saturday evening Policeman Den
ness thought he would make few in
quiries as to whether anyone had found
the missing pocketbook The officer was
informed at the station that no traces of it
had been found nor had any ticket been
sold that afternoon for Tuckerton. This
created some suspicion as to the truthful
ness of Sapps story and further investiga-
ton was made which revealed the fact
the young mans stories were doubtless I'M
true. A prominent resident of Tuckerton
was seen later and stated that Sapp had
not been seen around Tuckerton of late
and that he had spent the greater part of
his time travelling.
1t now appears as though the fellow had
worked the lost pocket book racket in
Mount Holly very successfully, to enable
him to further continue his travelling.

promising to keep out of that neighbor-

tending services held by the Volunteers
of America, the lady was attacked with

was thought she was dead. Two men
carried her to the store of DR.. Prickitt,
who succeeded in relieving the patient
and she was conveyed to her home.
