A Great Entertainment.

A prominent citizen will stand as defend
ant in breach of promise suit. For some
time the entertainment committee of the
Woman's League, of Mount Holly, has
been looking for an entertainment that
would be refined, instructive, exciting
and fun providing, and at length have
found it in the form of one of the great
mock court trials which has created such
sensation in very many of the larger
cities of the country. Crowded houses
and delighted audiences have been the
rule wherever they have been given,
while the leading newspapers have given
them more frequent extended and favor
able reports than any entertainments of a
local nature have received in years.
The entertainment will be given in the
Opera House on Monday evening, Janu-
airy %, under the personal supervision of
its originator, Col A. w. Newton, of
Worcester, Mass
1t will be presumed that one of our
prominent citizens has paid more or less
attention to young and beautiful widow
OF this town, but at length, as he has
seemed to lose interest in the matter, she
has brought suit with a view to obtaining
damages for her fractured affections. In
other words, he is charged with breach of
promise.
A large number of our well known peo.
pie Will take part in the proceedings, and
there will be fun without limit Let all
remember the date of the great mock
court trial

THE AVENUE"

Take it all in all. Fifth avenue is the most interesting street in the world. Paris may display more val usbls jewels on the Rue de la Psix or more tree embowered cafes on the Champs Elysees: London more his- torieal buildings on Fleet street ard the Strand. or a finer possession of top halted and frock coated men on Piecadilly and Bond street: Berlin more noted personages rolling in carriages along Inter den Linden; Edinburgh a more picturesque set- ting of classic scene painting o1 Princess street. But these few streets are limited in extent and meager in their variety of life wien compared with Fifth avenue. No- where else in the world walking up- on a city street will you be able to see a bluer sky. a more radiant sunshine casting it's high lights and shadors over a delightfully."- irTeg1- lar skyline. a more varied display of fine modern architecture. a greater array of all kinds of shops contain ing things of beauty collected from every quarter of the xlobe-ruxs silks. jewels. books. old furniture, pictures. gold and silvervsrs- forers and fruits. porceIsins. bronzes. ca- rice tapestries and for the ladies gowns and hats that Paris might 1ot he ashamed of.

This action was taken for a twofold purpose, to cut off the deadwood and to help the needy. The committee finds that of the 1,626 aged servants of the government in Washington, 1,403 are men and 223 women. The treasury department has 456 of them on its rolls, the interior 427, govern ment printing office 226, war depart ment 211, postofice department S9, commerce and labor 63 and the agri- cultural department 61. The other departments have twenty-eight and less old clerks in their employ. Talk ing up the question of salaries, the commission found that 21s aged gov ernment clerks draw Jess than s720 per annum; 1855 between that and ss4o; 52 less than ssOo; 1o2 less than s1,00o; 12s less than s1,200; 315 less than $1, 400; POS less than s1,600; 147 less than s1,S00; l47 less than $2,00o; s2 between s2,000 and $2,500 and 32 s2,500 or more a year,

FRIDAY, JUNE ae, 1906

The fire insurance companies do- Ing Dusiness in New England have decided to advance Me rates on all propeFy. And, says an exchange, although it is Eot so stated specifi- .sally. it is geKerally understood that the advancsis made with the idea of making xp losses sustained by the San Francisco fire. This sort of thing does not seem to be fair or 1vst. During the prosperous years, the stockholders of the companies are paid good dividends but as soon as heavy loss is sustained, the compan- ies instead of assessing these profit sharing stockholders, put up the rates and make the public stand the loss. It is always the people who have to stand these things. They give liberal ly to the relief of the distressed and then they are called upon to make up the losses of the companies. Law and custom seem in all cases to pro- tect the rich stockholders and to per- init the bleeding of the public to the last penny.
