Good Work at Prison.

Editor Mount Holly NEws:-The work
in behalf of ex-prisoners in our State has
assumed gratifying and encouraging as
pect. In its methods as we'll as in its re-
suits it has passed the stage of a mere ex
| pertinent. Already a number of ex-pris
oners have been turned out of the prison
door, better men and women than when
| they entered, and have taken up and are
continuing honorable lives.
The State Charities Aid and Prison Re
| form Association has taken upon itself the
patronage of the work and through a
Special Committee on discharged prison
ers, is endeavoring to advance it and
make of it a distinct feature of philan-
thropic activity in our state.
Already appeals have been made to the
enlightened and broadminded element OF
our people and many have responded.
furtherance of the committees plans.
The committee needs to reach every por-
tion of the state, for the inmates of the
prison come and go, from and to, every
nook and corner.
L We need men and women that will not
fear to follow whittier we are leading.
We need such as will not be too timid to
take personal interest in an ex-prisoner,
as will be free from the halucination that
every individual that is released from
prison is only awaiting an opportunity to
again rob, steal or murder 1t is a sur
prising fact to see persons, otherwise
gifted with intelligence and sound judg-
ment, show themselves possessed by this
delusion. They have read or heard of the
widely-heralded instances of relapse into
crime, of ingratitude towards benefac-
tor, but they are wofully ignorant of how
the greater number of ex-prisoners are
quietly redeeming the past. And thus it
is that they fear to extend the helping
hand to those who wish to rise, and after
these latter have again been pushed back
into the slough of despond the good
people wonder why this is so.
The committee needs men and women
who will act as it's correspondents in the
counties, cities and towns of the state,
thus aiding it in the extension of it's work
and influence everywhere.
We need men that have employment to
give, who will be broadminded enough
not to refuse the chance of honestly earn
ing his living to man because he comes
from prison.
We need also funds. In the prosecution
of our work there are no salaries or COM
pensation to those engaged in it. There

along with every undertaking, and if the
work is to go on, it is necessary to have
some funds. We seek contributors.
Will not, then, those of your readers
who can become interested in this work,
in any of the above mentioned ways, com
municate with the undersigned.

Improved rro11ev Service,

Public sentiment is the only force that
can win in bringing around good trolley
service. At no time, however, has it been
| necessary to exercise this power with re.
gard to the road of the Burlington Coun-
| ty Railway Company running through
Mount Holly from Burlington to Moores.
town, as the promoters of this enterprise
catered to public convenience from the
very start, and they now have the salts
faction of-being cordially supported for
this consideration.
But the line of the Camden and Tren-
ton Railway Company was altogether an
other proposition. The manager sought
to accomplish too much at the start, and
soon found himself badly tangled in the
meshes of net which caught on snags at
every turn of the tide. With no regular
| ity in the running of cars, insufficient
power, vexatious delays and accidents of
serious character, the public had much
to complain of. Realizing the course in
to which they were drifting the directors
saw the necessity for a change of man
agement, and they were fortunate in Sc
having an aptitude for this line of work,
| who was connected with the Camden and
Suburban Railway Company.
But the position of superintendent was
a legacy which carried with it burden
of Indebtedness most discouraging. Going
to work with determination, however, the
new superintendent brought order out OF
chaos The condemnatory remarks Sc
common about this road have been silenced
and words of commentator have been
substituted.
| Arrangements are being made to supply
additional power between Burlin gton and
Trenton, where the absence of sufficient
electric force was a detrimental factor.
1t is believed that within the next four
months all the improvements sought by
Mr. Harrington will have been accom-
plished, when the company will be in a
position to adopt half hour trips with the
assurance of plenty of power, prompt
time and perfect safety to patrons. Such
schedule would give good connections
at Burlington for persons in this section
desiring to travel in either direction along
the river front.
| Not only in the case of Mr. Harrington,
but the company is to be congratulated in
securing the services of Paul R. Goldey,

Sporting Notes.


Burlington will play return game here
in June.
Arrangements are being made to fence
the lot on High street.
The Mount Holly A. A. will play the
Camden Y. M. c. A, on Saturday. Game
called at $50. Admission 10 cents
Manager Fryer donned suit on Satur-
day and played third base for Mount
Holly. He seems to understand himself.
Bob Bodine on second and Jenkins at
shortstop, or vice versa, would be better
than anything that has been presented yet.
1t is the same old story-no Judgment
in batting. To stand at the plate and
have three balls and two strikes and then
reach for ball too high to reach with a
step ladder is not ball playing, but
it happens at every game.
Medford will open the season on Satur-
day with game between the first and
second teams. The latter say they will
give the champions some work to do.
The admission to this game will be free,
but the hat will probably be passed, so
take some change with you.
Things are shaping up fine for Decora-
ton Day in Medford and everything in
dictates that it will be red letter day for
the town. The base ball games between
the Herman team of frankfort, and
Medford. both winners in the Press base
ball contest last year. are sure to be great
games. For the attraction in the even
ing fine vaudeville program is being ar
ranged. An orchestra, from Philadelphia,
will furnish music in the afternoon and
evening.
The Mount Holly base ball club went to
Burlington, on Saturday. to play with the
J. F. Budd club. The playing with"
was done by the latter and Mount Holly
came home defeated by the score of 10 to
q. The Budds began getting runs on the
start, aided by errors on the part of Mount
Holly. Vickery pitched for Burlington
and the Mount Holly boys got an idea
that they could not hit the oldtimer and
did not get over that feeling until towards
the last when it was too late to do any
good. Vickery is not so very much and is
evidently playing on his past reputation.
He made a good three base hit which
naturally set the Burlington spectators
wild. The umpiring was very ordinary,
but the bad decisions were equally divided
The game was not on the same footing as
the old league games.
