 She appears here in a piece written by DeKoven and Smith, and which in- cludes some of the brightest scenes and dialogues that have been presented to the theatre-going people for years. In selecting his company, Mir. Aborn is said to have been careful to select only those whose reputation in the musical comedy ranks was of the best. He, therefore claims that he has surround

BIJoU TAEATRE,

szero we are at the beginning or an other fat week of theatrical entertaih- ment It would seem that Sam hirscn- CT and orrin Neal have determined 70 give the Montgomery pubic tne ues' that Is to be had and as long as tne- atregoers support them in this enor' 1t Is good business judgment.
 The Montgomery Theatre will oner 2 fine drama, a farce comedy, a ngnt op- era and a romantic drama. The BiJou has underlined Lottie Williams Tn My Tomboy Girl" and sousa's Band.
 The Eternal City" which was once presented here by Edward J. Morgan, made lasting impression. 1t is Hall Cai .te's best work and the announce ment that 1t is to be played Monday night by Jane Remark Is pleasant one. Miss Remark played Under Two Flags" here last season and she gave a finished and artistic performances.
 Browns in Town" is a farce comedy that has been seen here several times. A gpod company is promised.
 Thursday we are to have dainty Olga von Hatzfeldt in Anna Held's popular light opera, The Little Duchess. Miss won Hatsfeldt is sure enough count ess although she is a native of Chi cago. We have seen her here in The Burgomaster," and there is no doubt of her merit as an entertainer.'
 Chauncey Olcott's new piece IS Ed mund Burke in which the picturesque statesman Is portrayed and a novel story is unfolded of which he Is the central figure. MT. olcott made a dis tinct hit here last year in Terence" and he has been the recipient of highly favorable reviews this season on his new play.
 Lottie williams as My Tomboy Girl will play the last three nights of the week and a Saturday matinee at the Bijou Theatre and Sousa's Band will be at the Wells house for Friday matinee only There is much to commend about Miss wiliams's- play and company, and Sousa needs no advance notice.
 Manager Neal announced yesterday that an accurate reproduction of the Britt-NeIson fight would be given at the Bijou all of next week.

LAWS MADE
ON THE QUIET
Colby Tells Burlington County
People How the Public Ser
vice Controls.

BORDENTOWN, Aug. IA big
crowd sweltered in the Parke street
opera house here last night, when a
reform mass meeting was held under
the auspices of the Lincoln Republic
can League, of Burlington county.
The attendance was fair for the hot
night, but it is probable that hereaf-
ter mass meetings in Burlington
county during the summer will be
held out of doors. The heat was
hard on both the audience and the
speakers, but the meeting was, new
~ertheless, enthusiastic and the Colby
ties are pleased with its success.
General e. Burd Grubb, leader of
the reformers in the county, presided
at the meeting and the speakers were
Senator Everett Colby, George l..
Record, and Mayor Mark Pagan, of
Jersey City.
Senator Colby opened the meeting
with a stirring address. He said in
part: 1--WE don't go over the state
saying that these men up at Trenton
are there to make money for what
they do. We hope that they are not;
but we do say from experience that it
is the vast influence of the corpora
tons that controls our legislation in
this state. 1t is at these little dinner
parties, given by the Public Service
Corporation, and by the railroads,
that much of New Jerseys legislation
that becomes law is planned. It's at
a dinner party, too, in New York, or
possibly in some part of Jersey, that
the big men on the republican state
ticket are nominated each year.
What we want to do is to drive
politics from behind closed doors
into the streets, into the trolley cars,
the factories, the homes, the places
of business. Once we get the ma
chine into the light and show up it's
corruption we can beat it. To do this
the voters must go to the primaries"
Mr.. Record was introduced as the
reform candidate for United States
senator and was received with APP
plause. 81 believe that we are vast
ing time in piling up evidence of
corruption against certain of the par
ty leaders in the state said Mr..
Record. THE people know that the
bosses are becoming rich from money
which comes from some mysterious
source, and to get rid of this we must
create a public opinion that will
sweep the corruptionists from office.
The remedy is for the voters to go to
the primaries. We ought to have the
direct primaries, but we must do
what we can now with what we have.
When the machine men find that we
have pitched the battle at their most
vital source of power, the primary,
they become scared and they know
That their defeat is certain. We are
not here here to set up a new politi-
cal machine in the state, as has been
charged, but as republicans to de-
mand that republicans of the ranks
who run for office shall have a fair
show against the fayorites of the
present coterie of party leaders,"
