Body Recovered.

Captain T. A. Mathis, of Tuckerton, on
Wednesday, succeeded in finding the body
of Harry Jones, who sacrificed his life in
trying to reach his home to partake of the
annual Christmas dinner 1t was Captain
Mathis who engaged the young man to
bring two ''sneak boxes" from Sea Haven
to this place on what proved to be Jones
death trip.
Jones body was found at Story's Is
land, opposite where the life saving crew
found his empty boat. 1t is generally be-
lieved that he was either taking in or put
ting up his sail when he slipped and fell
into the water.
His body was discovered near the mid
die of the island, which is but barren
waste, with not so much as sand hill to
break the sweep Of icy gales.
A boat with snug cabin containing
fuel and food lay in a cove along the
bank of StorY's Island, and the marooned
man doubtless knew of its presence, for
judging from the position of the body, it
was evident he had been trying to reach
this shelter, when he became exhausted
and persisted.
Deceased was in his Goth year. He be-
longed to the Jr. 0. U. A. NJ and Red
Men; was faithful member of the M. E.
Sunday School and was interested in the
Y. M. G. A. movement He was an un-
usually steady young man was. an honor
to any community, and had many friends
and no enemies.

Theatres.

When William L Roberts, the we'll
known playwright and actor wrote that
new popular melodrama "On The Bridge at
Midnight" he was at lose to find an actor
for the leading role-that of Germany"
In the course of events he interviewed
scores of promising young actors, but
none of them seemed to impress him with
much favor until he met Mr.. George
Klimt 1t was while they were both tax
ing that much needed rest that is due to
all actors, and theatrical people in gener-
al, after hard, tiresome season of travel
and poor hotels. The conversation drifted
into different subjects, and then Mr.
Klimt was asked what was his ideal char
acter, and he replied that the role of the
Germans in the Old Dominion appealed to
his artistic temperament more than any
thing that he had ever seen, and that he
would like to obtain something on that
order. Il could have fallen on his neck
and Rugged him out of sheer Joy" said
Mr.. Roberts afterwards. Here l had
been looking out for German character
comedian, and he was looking for a
vehicle that afforded him just the oppor-
tunities that | had to offer. After reading
over the manuscript said, "Are you con.
fident that you can do Justice to the part?"
Justice. justice to It'll" said George,
''Mein Colt und Himmell, l could eat it
without salt" Well, the results were that
to-day Mr.. Klimt has proved that he could
not only play that part, but that he puts
an artistic finish to it worthy of some
thing better than it really affords him.
That Mr. Klimt is one of the rising stars
of the theatrical armament can be easily
seen with the naked eye. His work is
so bright, so easy, and comes so natural to
him, that one witnessing his performance
goes away wondering if he is not really
the character in real life. Mr.. Klimt's
dialect and mannerisms are artistic, simple
and true to life, not oYerdrawn and bois-
terously saturized like most of the Ger
man comedians of the day, but it is one of
the whole-souled, God-fearing, beloved
beings, whom one meets daily and wishes
that that all mankind were just liked him.
''On the Bridge at Midnight" is strong
dramatic production, and like all the rest
of that famous authors productions, calls
for competent actor in every role, no
matter how eminent, and scenically it is
the seasons greatest triumphs 1t will be
seen at the Burlington Auditorium, on
Saturday evening, January Z.
