Political Notes

F. Carlton Dalton announces his candi
dacy for the Democratic nomination fol
constable.
| Henry Mcdonald is securing signers to
his petition as a Republican candidate for
member of the Northampton township
committee.
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Sheriff, but the knowing ones say that
William T. Bags, of Beverly, will get
the plum.
Samuel r. Gaskill, the turnkey at the
prison, is candidate for the Republican
nomination for constable in Northampton
township. Robert Myers will also seek
denomination!
One Republican candidate for the pos
ton of Sheriff, is so sanguine of success
that he has bet $50 that he will be the
nominee. Just what assurances he has is
not known, but the County Committee
deny the report that they have endorsed
any one, even though one of the aspirants
is member OF that body.
During the speech of Mr.. MARITIME the
reporter of THE News arose to leave the
room. This caused a smile to light on the
face of some of the faithful and one fell
talk. He was right We preferred a
game of ball on the High street diamond
to a game of bawl in the court house
Freebooter William B. Ireland has Sc
cured the necessary number of signers to
his petition for denomination, and will
now give his attention to the details of the
campaign. Isaac r. Parker and Daniel
Bodine are said to be willing to accept
the nomination for Freebooter on
the Democratic ticket, but there
really does not appear to be any necessity
for successor to Mr.. Ireland. He has
made a good official.
One of the candidates for Sheriff on
the Republican ticket visited a town on
Friday and announced that sit was incred-
ible how Billy Worrell was losing ground,
and If the increase continued for couple
of weeks he would probably withdraw
from the contest" This is very far from
the fact and is not creditable to the party
who was endeavoring to make capital on
misstatement Mr.. Worrell Is in the
contest to finish, and is willing to take
the verdict of the people.
The adjustment of conventions prevents
the formulating of resolutions and plat
form for the candidates to stand upon.
But perhaps the new idea is Just the
thing. To have lot of delegates get up
and resolve something for a candidate to
adopt is not altogether the thing Much
better for every fellow who wants to be
candidate for office to come out and tell
just where he stands on the questions he
will be called upon to consider. Let him
make his own platform.
Essex county Republicans have little
on, in which the DIRECTORS
are perfectly justified in their attitude.
Seventeen members of the county COM
mittee endorsed a candidate for the nomi-
nation for Sheriff. Fourteen other mem
beers entered protest against any endorse
ment and called theattention of the seven
teen to the fact that it is their function to
secure Republican success at the election,
not to dictate to the voters who they shall |
nominate. The endorsement is directly
in opposition to the intent of the direct
primary act, which is to enable the voters
to make their own nominations, and do
away with the slightest suspicion of
bossism or dictation.

rrrho;a Fever

Several patients suffering with typhoid
fever and others with symptoms of the
disease, awaaeing an official diagnosis,
have caused the usual cutlery against the
Mount Holly Water supply and the Water
Company is again receiving criticism on
points in general and nothing in parti-
cular Among the stories afloat is one to
the effect that the reports of the con-
dition of the water supply of Mount
Holly, given out by the company, do not
correspond with the official reports on file
In Trenton, and that the latter show a
worse condition than is made public.
This rumor we are In position to stamp
as absolutely false. TIE News has an
official copy of every report sent to the
Mount Holly Water Company, and they
are exactly the same as those given out
from time to time since January first
How to account for the fresh outbreak is
puzzling the doctors In some instances,
but in others there is no hesitancy in pro
nouncing the cause Well water has been
used by several of those now down with
the disease In one instance the family
had the town water in the house but used
well because they thought it Purer than
the filtered water.
But Mount Holly is not the only place
where typhoid fever exists. In Hartford,
where there are not over dozen houses
there are nine cases, and no family has
had two patients. At Flourtown, little
settlement near Mount Laurel, with six or
eight houses scattered around, there are
six cases, one home having two sick chill
dren. 1t Is not likely that Mount Holly
water inoculated all these people. One
case is reported at Lumberton.
There is a cause, but what it is no one
seems to be able to tell. Much has been
said about the sewage from the county in
situations above Pemberton, but if inves-
tigation has been made the result has not
been made public. Two representatives
of the State Board have been here,
one of whom is said to have re-
ported things that do not tally with
the reports on file, while the labors
of the other are either unfinished or are
being kept under lock and key. Every
effort has been put forth by the local
Board of Health to discover the source of
but if it comes from the
towns above the investigation passes be-
yond the Jurisdiction of our Board. 1t
is case for the State Board to
act on, and to act promptly.
A representative of the State Board of
Health went to the county institutions at
New Lisbon, on Friday, and inspected the
sewage conditions. He seemed to think
here should be one sewer for the aims
house and asylum, but did not make any
positive decision.

CHESTNUT STREET

prince KARL" a romantic comedy in
four acts, one of the late Richard Mans
fields greatest successes, will be presented
by the Orpheum Players at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, this week.
The play is one that has won perma-
nent position in the biographies of the dis
tinguished Mansfield prince Karl' is
a brilliant comedy, rich with the native
wit and humor of the German Army
officer and fairly bubbling over with
bright dialogue and amusing situations
The scenes of the play are laid in Ger
many. Karl, a prince who was left al
most penniless by an improvident father,
makes love to an old American widow
under the impression that she is wealthy.
He is really in love, however, with a
young woman whom he met in a most
romantic way. This girl is the daugh-
ter in law of the widow Karl proposes to
marry The younger woman is also a
widow and really the wealthy one, it
being only through her generosity that
her mother in-law is permitted to liYe a
life of luxury and ease.
When Karl sees the young girl who
has truly captured his heart he schemes
to get rid of the older one, and to do SO
he creates the impression that he is crazy.
He is promptly carried off to an asylum
but escapes and leaves note saying that
he is going to drown himself in the Rhine.
Then he reappears disguised as a courier
and is engaged in service by the young
widow.
This deception leads to a series of
amusing complications. during which it
develops that Karl is sole heir to the for
tune left by the young widows foster
father. This man was Karl's uncle.
When Karl learns this he produces will,
presumably written by the dead prince,
in which all of the princes wealth is left
to the young widow-the girl he loved.
This of course prompts the girl to confess
that she too loved the prince, fact which
Karl had been dying to find out, and so
there is happy ending to the romance.
Alabama" the picturesque Southern
drama which will be at the Chestnut next
week will bring TO close the first year of
the Orpheum CompanY-a year that was
filled with many pleasures and so many
encouragements as to prompt the manage
ment to plan for the second year with
even more lavish hand. But a more com
plete announcement of this will be made
later
