ga Romance Of Coon Hollow" which
will be seen at Lyceum Hall, Wednes-
day evening, August 10Th, has some OF
the most exquisite scenery on the road.
The first act reveals an autumn view
of typical Southern plantation with
sunset and moonlight effects, and con-
tains a splendid electrical display. The
second act is "a facsimile of "Coon
Hollow, = rugged glen in the Tennes-
see hills, painted from sketches made
on the spot, and is made sensational
by a strong and thrilling climax. The
third act shows a wood landing on the
Mississippi, and night view of the
famous Lee-Natchez steamboat race,
the boats being lighted up and under
full head of steam. The last act is
given to an actual cotton compress in
operation, and is thrillingly dramatic.
The play will be given here with all
the effects used in the original run at
the Fourteenth Street Theatre, New
York. In the wood landing scene is
introduced a rollicking melange of
songs and dances by troupe of col
ored boys and girls, including splen-
did quartet Of vocalists. The play is
now in its eleventh successful season
on the road and is one of the most pop
ular entertainments travelling. A Sc
lect company will interpret the strong
characters.

Contents Itself with Limited Permit
A year ago the New York and New
Jersey Telephone Company asked for
perpetual franchise for the right Of
way for a trunk line from Belleville
reservoir to the Macopin intake. At
that time the telephone company had
not obtained the consents of the abut-
ting property-holders, and the matter
was dropped. 1t came up again before
the Board of Works, at Newark, but
the company declined to commit itself
to accept limited franchise. At the
regular meeting of the Board of Works
Thursday Charles d. M. Cole, counsel
for the telephone company, informed
Chief Engineer Sherrerd that his COM
pany would accept a limited franchise.
While officially the commissioners
have not signified what their action
will be, it is believed that the board
will grant franchise for twenty-five
years. City Counsel Coult was direct
ed to examine the bill and toreport at
the regular meeting of the board this
week.
The company desires to build a
trunk line to Scranton, Pa, using the
pipe line right Of way as far as it goes.

Hereafter most Of the work done on
the roads of Warren County will be
done by chain gangs of criminals and
tramps. The ordinance providing for
this was passed Thursday night by the
Warren County Board of Freeholders.
The scheme has been tried in other
counties, with the result of clearing
those counties Of tramps.
The ordinance was presented by
Messrs. Kenny, of Phillips burg
Thatcher Of Washington; Hoagland,
of Blairstown; Mcclellan, of Hack
ettstown, and Lain, of Belyidere.
The ordinance directs that the county
provide balls and chains and employ
guards as well as furnish food and
clothing, and compel wife beaters,
tramps and other petty criminals to
work on the public roads of Phillips
burg, Washington, Belvidere, Hack
ettstown, Blairstown and other parts
Of the county.
Freeholder Kenney stated that the
measure was necessary, because the
bills paid for the support of the jail,
including fees to the various officers,
have greatly increased the last year.
The ball and chain, he said would
have salutary effect on petty GRIM
inals and help effect the much needed
improvement of the public highways.

Pocket subway Map of New York.
We have received with the compli-
ments Of the Packard Commercial
School, New York, an interesting and
useful pocket map Of New York city.
The map, made in colors, gives the
lines of the Subway, with all stations,
running time for local and express
trains, IL road lines, all ferries,
railway depots. ETC., with calendar up
to July, 1906, location of various points
of interest, etc. While they last we
are authorized to say that a copy Of
this map will be mailed free to anyone
who mentions the name of The JER-
sEYMAN. The Packard Commercial
School is one of the pioneers in bust
ness education. 1t was known to our
fathers as well as we know it--founded
in 1858. A short while since the school
was richly ennowed by the wife of its
founder, who left to it large fortune
with explicit instructions for its ex-
penditure in securing the strongest
faculty and the best equipment pro-
durable, regardless Of expense. and at
the same time placing the tuition at
the lowest possible figure consistent
without thoroughness. Probably no
other commercial school in the world
occupies so unique position.

RAILROAD NOTES.

In February 1850, the New York,
Elizabethtown and Morristown Rail
road was Incorporated by special act
with capital stock Of 100000 to build
railroad from the Pennsylvania at
Elizabeth or to interseet the Elizabeth
and Somerville road, to Morristown.
The incorporators were George r.
Chetwood, Charles Davis, A. Bruen,
Francis Child, Jason King, D. T.
Cooper, Moses A. Brookfield and f..
Van Dorm. Several extensions Of time
were granted but the road did not
materialize.
Now flfty-five years after incOrpofa-
ton the road is partially built and
passenger service into Springfield was
started on Monday, the present desig-
nation Of the road being the Railway
Valley. 1t intersects the Central and
Lehigh Valley at Aldene station, if
teen miles from New York, then runs
through Kenilworth the new name
for that boom town New Orange, and
is completed nearly to the Baltusrol
Club, while the gangs are grading
bridge building, ETC., from there to
Summit. It is expected that service
to Summit will be begin in October.
The road is laid with seventy pound
steel raids, we'll tied. An IRON bridge
has been built over the Railway river
and substantial concrete culyerts over
the other streams.
A daily service of ten trains has
been put on with four Sunday runs
each way. For this service new
coach built by the Pullman Co. has
been secured and an additional engine.
About October first it is planned to-
put on a second crew. The running
time from Springfield to New York is
about the same as from Short Hills.
Last Thursday the Central trainmen
came in and took an excursion of ten
cars from Millburn and Springfield to
Ocean Grove. Coal shipments began
some time ago and the. first freight
was consignment of soap received on
Monday. 1t is reported that the pro-
icctors Of the road intend to go to
Morristown, the original destination
of the line.
The freight house at Springfield is
in course of erection and the passenger
station staked out. An agent has
been located there and on Monday he
did business from a small box.

OCEAN GROVE FIGHT LICENSE
Asbury Park Must stay Dry, says
Bishop FiIzGerald.

Bishop James N. sFitzGerald, presi-
dent Of the Ocean Grove Camp Meet
ing Association Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, in an impromptu adj
dress delivered last Sunday morning
in the Auditorium just prior to the
morning preaching service, denounced
the attempt being made to obtain high
license for ASbury Park.
Ocean Grove and Asbury Park. y
the bishop said, "are known the world
over as paradises for the children and
others who love quiet and order. Re
Gently, however, an enemy has appear
ed. He comes to change these para
discs into a he'll BY advocating that
the hotels 81 Asbury Park be licensed
to sell liquor.
'sThe most dangerous animate be-
ings in the world the bishop con
tinued, are drunken men. They
wreck homes and fortunes and kill
more bodies than all others combined
They are the product of the open
saloon. This enemy proposes that
saloons be opened in Asbury Park,
and the product sent forth TO terrify
women and children on the sidewalk
and change these paradises into hell.
Why are the church people silent !?
They should denounce and oppose the
attempt to legalize the sale of rum in
our sister resort. Thank God, Ocean
Grove still stands for its institutions
and the children, and will continue to
do so as long as God gives us our voice
and vote. Happily, though, in the
special election called in Asbury Park
for this week the women have equal
rights with the men in voting, and |
look for such an avalanche Of adverse
votes from the women that they will
bury the 'rummies so deep we will
never hear of them again.

Lackawanna mechanics have been
patching up the roof of the platform
sheds of the local Lackawanna station,
to keep it in service for while yet.
No one has been seen cutting the high
weeds along the Morris street side
walks, however, some of the weeds
having already gone to seed. The
grading about the freight house is
still unfinished, the walk to the street
partly laid and few old stones lying
around in front OF the building. The
wagon road to the freight depot is
still covered with layer of sand com
pletely covering the Belgian blocks
Altogether the property is about as
untidy as anything in town.

Engineers in the employ Of the Pub
lie Service Corporation are at work in
Caldwell surveying route from the
present terminus of the Bloomfield
avenue trolley line for an extension Of
the system to Singac, distance Of
about three miles. The survey is be-

including the Harrison estate for
three-quarters of a mile, and also the
Aubrey and Van Ness property.

1t is limited in Orange that the
Lackawanna will ask the contribution
of 81 by the city toward the projected
railroad improvements there just to
establishthe principle of cooperation,
which the Lackawanna is urging with
more or less results along the line.
The company has recently purchased
several tracts Of land in Orange needed
for the work, otherwise has done moth
ing since the committee Of the board
of aldermen told the railroad repre-
sentatiyes that Orange would pay no
money.

An enterprise Of the Erie Railroad
Company is the establishment Of rail-
road commercial training school at
Elmira, N. Y. The purpose of the
school is to develop clever men for the
service, as it is painfully apparent that
with the rapid growth of railroad in
dustry there is shortage of capable.
men to fill the more important posi-
tions. The Fries school is unique, as
the course to be pursued has been out
lined by the company'S higher officials
in the various departments, and is
thoroughly practical. New text books
have been compiled with the actual
work of managing stations and offices
and running trains as their basis. The
course has four divisions. The first is
theoretical, embracing complete ex-
PLANTATION OF the organization, financ-
ing and general management of rail-
road system, The three other branches
are demonstratlye, ID that they show,
by initiative operations, the duties Of
the freight agent, the passenger agent,
the telegraph operator, the train dis
patcher, the station agent, and even
minor officers and employees. By this
arrangement and procedure the school
is wholly practical. AS an inducement
to prospective students the managers
of the school declare that the demand
for railroad employees, especially for
station agents, always exceeds the
supply, and in proof of this they an
nounce that several large corporations
have promised to engage the graduates
in regular work. 1t is claimed that
the school is not conducted for profit,
the cost of tuition being regulated to
meet only the current expenses of
maintenance, and that the railroad
companies find a need for employees
having special training.
