Are tbe County Roads Neglected..

kAIC tD0 AO0AtJ AlOtlO5 ANO6lOCtO0s
The Hackettstown Gazette" says :
So long and so contemptuous has
been the neglect of the macadam road
across Schooley's Mountain by the
Road Committee of the Morris Board
OF Freeholders, that the citizens most
directly effected are organizing to
bring the matter to the attention Of
the Grand Jury. The road could not
be worse, it is positively dangerous,
and the men responsible for it ought
to be punished. While the citizens
are organizing in this matter they
ought to look over the stretch of road
from the Hackettstown line to the
foot of DrakestOwn mountain, and
from Cline's corner to the main road
crossing from Drakestown to Schooley's
Mountain. The public are entitled to
reasonably safe and smooth roads. and
the overseers can be forced to provide
them, irrespective Of seed time and
harvest Country roads will never be
what they ought to be until the ex-
travagant methods of sectional over
seers and the working out of taxes'
is abolished. There is law enough,
however, on the matter, and the pub
lie have the right to safe and smooth
roads without reference to the conven-
fence Of the overseer, or the farmer
who wants to "work out his taxes
at a time when it best suits his pri-
yate duties.''

THE IROLLEY'S NEW RIVAL.

It Is the Gasoline or steam Motor
Car, Used Now in England.
It took nearly fifteen years for the
trolley to expel the horse, a task not
wholly completed even yet in a back
ward city like New York. 1t may
prove that much less period is re-
quired to expel the trolley by the gas
oline or steam motor car England
is at this point in advance Of this
country. Railroads there have prompt
" seized the advantages offered by the
motor car, both on the track and as
Iomnibuses. The auto motor car proves
on the railroad line to be cheaper,
more efficient and more easily managed
than the train made up of locomotives
and cars for light passenger service.
On the Northwestern Railway in Eng
land the increase in passengers on its
motor cars in year was 460, 900,
against 100000 on the trains.
The Union Pacific has begun the use
Of these cars. for its suburban service
outside of Omaha, a number Of Eng
fish railroads have adopted the same
system, finding that on those trains,
familiar on every road, which have to
be run for public convenience, but on
which travel is small, an auto motor
car carrying passengers and a little
baggage is just as convenient for the
passenger ana more economical for the
railroad than a train. The Taft Val
ley line, for instance, reports that
train costs 30 cents a train mile and
steam motor car II.
This, however. is only beginning.
The Northeastern Railway, in Eng
land, has procured LEGISLATION permit
ting it to run gasoline auto motor om-
nibuses from its stations in the
neighborhood Of Newcastle and other
centers Of population. These run in
connection with suburban trains in
tended to meet the need Of the COM
muters. They bring passengers in in
the morning. They take them out at
night. They add to the region which
can be reached by man returning to
the city every day for his work, a wide
area which these auto cars can cover
without the cost of a track and with
no special charter.
The rural trolley will not last long
under this competition if it comes
here. The gasoline engine only costs
for power while it is in operation.
The capital on the track is all saved.
Questions Of right of way are avoided.
Sparse travel can be gathered profit
ably and economically by this method
In London the omnibus companies
are substituting the auto car on
streets where it was expected to intro
duce the trolley. The advantage OF
the auto car is obvious. 1t can drop
its passengers on the sidewalk. 1t
calls for no track. 1t dispenses with
wires. 1t requires no power plant.
Above.all instead Of requiring con-
slant stream of electricity, fuel is con-
sumed only when it is actually used.
A little economy in the manufacture
and running of the auto car and the
trolley, with its costly track, its ex-
pensive motor, its overhead wires and
is cumbrous plant, will disappear.

some Ancieht history Revised.


The city papers publish the story
that the Lackawanna has CONSUME
mated the deal for the purchase of
Bertrand Island at Lake Hopatcong
and will erect there a public dock and
also extend the present branch from
Shippingport to the Forcite Powder
Works and ice houses on to Bertrand
Island. The report also has it that
six new boats have been ordered to
ply the waters of the lake and that
coupons will be attached Hopatcong
tickets good for ride to destination.
The promoters Of the enterprise have
been insisting that the Lackawanna
run at least two fast trains from the
island terminus each day during the
season. 1t probably means that the
lake business win be concentrated at
Shippingport and that the long stage
ride from Mt. Arlington or the boat
ride from landtlag will be no longer
necessary.

Chase's audiences will this week be en-
tertained by Harry Foy and Florence Clark,
co-stars in the comic and scenic novelty en-
titled "A Modern Jonah" It contains bib
ulous whale that is said to be funnier than
the tipsy elephant In Wang" The set
ting showing the bottom of the ocean is
another novelty that aids the principles in
their Iaughable devices. The Eight ALI
sons from Europe are submitted as clever
tumblers, acrobats and balancers. Travesty
will demonstrate its power over the pleas
ure-seeking public in the act presented by
Juliet Wood and Fred Ray entitled "A
Funny Bunch of Nonsense" 1t is another
of the vaudeville hits of this season. Ford

tanners as Nell OBrien, John DAILY, the
Foley Brothers, John H. King, Manuel Ro-

representation Of an artists studio. In which

used In touring cities. 1t Is from the front
of this that he tells of the town In which he
is playing. His pursuit by the enraged pas
sengers is decided novelty. Neil O'Brien
who scored hit with his street-car act last
season, has duplicated his former success
with new act which shows him as a floor
walker in department store. The oppor-
tunities for comedy are excellent and he
makes the most of them. The entertain
ment closes with melodramatic sketch en-
titled Moses which is said to differ from
anything ever before seen in minstrelsy. 1t

New National Theatar.

From Arizona to his latest success.
de Lancey," in which John Drew will ap-
pear at the Nav National Theater tomor-
row night, Mr.. Augustus Thomas has scored
notable series of successes. His comedies
are noteworthy for their refreshingly bril-
lint dialogues and ingenious as well as
plausible action. In the case of DE Lam
cey' Mr.. Thomas is said to have construct
ed a three-act comedy of exceptional origt-
nality in theme and rare smartness of
speech. The piece was written with John
Drew in mind. and many of its incidents
are actual occurrences taken out of his own
life. The production will be seen here with
the same scenery and cast that appeared
for so many months before New York audi
ences. The hero of the piece is part that
appeals in the strongest way to Drew ad-
mirers. Mr.. Drew has nearly all the witty
speeches to make and has fine scope for
that dry, restrained sense of humor that has
strongly established him in the regard Of
theatergoers. Margaret Dale In the role
OF Jacqueline. De Lancey's sweetheart, is
attractiyely placed.
The story tells of the manly atten1pt Mt
self-sacrifice by De Lancey to stem aside
in order that his friend, Dr. Morton. NAV
marry Jacqueline MARBLE. to whom the doc
tor is affianced, but who really loves De
Lancey as thoroughly as De Lancey loves
her. Besides Mr.. Drew tho cast Includes
Margaret Dale, Doris Keane, Arthur ELI
oft, Walter Hale and several others.

edenne of "Fantana'' has to struggle.
Students of stage names are able to spec
ify with commendahle accuracy the exact
period a girl embraced the stage by the
character of her new name. For instance,
take Pearl -LuZon of The Press Agent
company. Is it not apparent that the Phil
ippines were much in evidence when she
selected her nom du theater?
A few years ago every chorus girl thought
ii incumbent upon her to choose an allit-
eratve name, such as Cora Climbhigh or
Doris Doorstep, but now the fashion Is on
the wane Another fad was to mangle and
distort the spelling of the Christian name
for stage purposes, but at present euphony
Is most sought after. The pay roll of the
"Fantana" company discioses some ad-
mirable specimens of all types. Catherine
Cooper and Bertha Blake still cling to iapt
alliteration's artful aid while Bessilee

their names.
