fortunate that he was not killed by the
horses kick.
At 3 O'clock this morning Mr.. Firth as

terrific force. When Firth evive two

1T had suffered nearly all my life

troubled me mostly at night when the
itching would become unbearable and
kept me awake a good part Of each

different times attending me, but none
Of them could effect a permanent cure.
One Of them gave me arsenic and I
tried that for three months, but it did
little good, if any. l read q Cuticura
advertisement in the pape about one
year ago and decided to try the treat
ment. / used only two cakes Of Cuti-
cura Soap, one box Of Cuticura ONT
ment. and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. It gave me great relief, but
after / had stopped using it for a month
the eczema came back. AS the Cuti-
cura treatment was the only thing that
gave me any relief / started it again and
persisted with it until / was entirely
cured, which took from five to six
months, and / have not been troubled

BAD GRAD E
CROSSINGS IN
ASBURY
in Suit Against
Railroads Will Be Taken
in the Shore City.

Asbury Park is having trouble about
railroad crossing at grade. June II the
Common Council Of the town adopted
an ordinance providing that the New
York and Long Branch Railroad Com
pany should erect gates or station flag
men at the crossings at Bangs, Sum
merield, Monroe and First, Second,
Third and Fourth The COM
pany failed to protect the crossings as
provided for In the ordinance, and the
Council applied to the Chancery Court
for an order to compel the company to
obey.
The court granted an order that the
railroad company show cause why 1t
should not erect gates or put nagmen
at the crossings, and the order was re-
turnable today.
Vice. Chancellor Emery advised coun-
sci for Asbury Park to take an order
of refernce so a master in chancery
could take testimony in the case at
Asbury Park, where the witnesses re-
side. The order of refernce was taken.
The Common Council Of Asbury Park
started in to petition to the court that
s6 trains run daily over the crossings In
the city on the railroad company's
tracks, and hat the permanent popu-
lation is 1904, while during the summer
season, from June to October. approx
mately 10000. Therefore, there is great
danger to life at the crossings.
Vice-Chancellor Emery told counsel
for Asbury Park that the new rail-
road law enacted by the Legislature
made some provisions as to railroads
giving protection to the public at grade
crossings.

Gerry Court by the city of Asbury Park

FOUR GOOD SHOWS
EXCELLENT ENTERTAIN
MENT AT LOCAL RESORTS.
"The Mikado' Sung at Olympic Park.
Cremation" a Puzzle at Prootor's.
Hillside and Electric Programs.

Such is the quality of humor in 1.-THE
Mikado" that it never stales, which is sim
ply a way of saying that the humor is
real. Modernized just a little bit, it Is as
fresh as If just from the pen of George
AIDE, instead of a w. S. Gilbert, libretto.
The opera was given a very creditable
performance last night by the Aborn OPP
era Company at Olympic Park. The IA
miliar Sullivan airs were entrusted to a
capable set of singers, and the one or two
weak spots were not enough to detract
from the ensemble, to which the chorus
added not a little. With nothing ambi-
tious in the way of arias to do, Blanche
Morrison managed to get out of the role
OF Yum Yum about all there is in At, and
in tho kissing duet with Nanki Poo Iy-
man Wheeler) she was very nearly perfect.
| Mr.. Wheeler, on the other hand, despite
the sweetness of his tenor, lacked some
thing IN range and dramatic fervor. 1t
may not be so for the rest of the week,
for several times last night he came very
near the mark.
To William Blaisdell, the Ko Ko, the
audience owed most, but. Of course. 1t can
be said In justice to the others of the
cast, that Ko Ko yves to Gilbert and
Sullivan more than any Of the rest Of
them. Mr.. Blaisdells legs were almost
as much In evidence as were Francis VIII
sons, and the way he negotiated with
Passion Tender left no doubt that he
was cast Alright. In Here's a Pretty
Mess he was again an admirable Ko Ko.
Miss Morrison and Howard Chambers
(Pooh BAH, who helped him In this, added
to the good work they did all the way
through. In telling the Mikado Drank
Wooley) about the excellent job the lord
high executioner had done in d~ispatching
his (the Mikado's) runaway son, Mr..
Chambers, Mr.. Blaisdell and Margaret
Warren, as Pitt Sing, Yum Yum's sister,
shared honors almost equally, but IL any
one is to be given more credit than the
others it should go to Mr.. Chambers, whose
Pooh Bah at this point lacked nothing.
Marie Hogan, as Katisha, surprised
some who had heard her before in her
manner Of getting through the arias. She
sang ''The Hour of Gladness is Dead and
Gone in a creditable way. 1.-THE Flowers
that Bloom In the Spring Tit Willow
and other airs SO well known were we'll
done.
Frank Wooley made a funny Mikado
J. A.. Holt. as Nee Bar his attendant,
was well up to the requirements of the
funny business OF his role. Pish Tush,
q noble lord. was sung by Edwin w.
Lewis. and Peep 30 by Miss Sabery Dor
sell.
The opera is to be repeated every even
ing this week, including Sunday, and
with matlnees Wednesday, Saturday and
Sunday.

Proctor,s Theatre-vaudevnle.

There were three acts on Proctor's pro-
gram last night that interested the au-
dience hugely. They were all a bit out of
the usual and all well done.
The fret was Cremation" an act which
made a good deal of talk a month or two
ago, when 1t was first presented in this
country at Hammerstein's Victoria Thea
tire. This is one of the cleverest Illusions
we have seen, albeit a trifle gruesome in
nature. A woman is encased in a box
from which there Is visible no outlet, and
from which escape. in fact, seems impossI-
Bile. Fire is then applied. the box is
closed and smoke arises in some vol
ume. A few moments later the contents
of the box are revealed, and consist of
ashes and a few remnants of clothing.
All this time the box stands on an uncov-
cred table in the centre OF the stage in a
manner apparently to preclude all posi-
bility of undetected exit.
An act of more cheerful description was
a musical sketch called I'm the Land of
Bohemia by Sam Tauber. This was the
first musical production Of the new vaude-
willie Arm of II. s. Wallach & Company.
1t was given its try-out here yesterday,
and was a success.
According to Mr.. Tauber the principal
doings of the land Of Bohemia are singing
and dancing. He has, however, introduced
in his picture a slight touch of romance.
A painting of ia girl in the quarters of
the Bohemians is much admired by the
six frequenters Of the place, one Of them
journeying to foreign and in the hope of
discovering the original. Upon his return
and while all the others are condoling
with him upon his non-success. the girl Ia
the flesh steps forth from the canvas. 1t
is a fanciful and rather pretty idea and
not badly worked ont. The singing of
several songs by the six men. three tenors,
two BASES and a baritone, and Miss
Maude Demarest. soprano. is good.

compan caused much laughter by their
antics in their latest absurdity. THE Lon

EIectric Park-VaudeviIIe.

The vaudeville performance given IN the

was much enjoyed, Mile. Bartholdie and
her trained birds made the hit Of the per-
Torrance. The two bicycle cockatoos rode
wheels with all the dash and dignity
Of professional riders. Wesson, Walters
and Wesson were laugh provokers; Craw-
ford and Manning, acrooats, did some ex-
pert tumbling, and Baker and Wardeli, IN
Dutch characters; James Potter Dunn,

Gnrnold, singer. added interest to tine en-
rtninmeu The bill was one of the best
presented at the park this season.
The. musicale spectacle, "A Night in the

to the open stage. In the Dunlap Electric

Evening and the Queen of Roses are
among the favorite pictures.
