PARK THEATRE-MAY 4, I'LL NOSE"

1t is impossible TO conceive how any
more laughs to the minute could be
created by piece than those INDUCED in
by the audience which witnessed Nixon
& Zimmerman's production of their new
musical fun-play, "Li'l Mose," at the
Savoy Theatre. Messrs. Nirliuger and
Brown have constructed piece which is
a combination of grand opera music, farce
and pantomime, but through it all they
have maintained pretty love story with
certain dramatic features. "Lpl Mose,"
from being cartoon character. has de-
veloped into flesh and blood reality and
carries ON his small shoulders a goodIy
portion of the plot. One first sees ''Mose"
in Venice, where he has been left stranded
by wealthy Irish widow, whom he was
personally conducting through Europe.
His plight is discoxered by young Ital-
ian boy, whom he knew in America, and
who assisted him to get passage on ship
bound for the States. 1t is carnival time
in Venice, and the Italian youth Antonio
rescues young American girl from the
clutches of pair of thugs, who are trying
to rob her. Unfortunately one of the
Williams is supposedly killed, and the hero
is obliged to take refuge on the same
vessel which bears Nose back home. The
next act finds all of the characters con-
cerned in New York. Antonio and Nose
are in the depths of poverty, but are event.
nally discovered by the American girl,
who has been searching for the Italian. In
act third the authors have revolyed
very dramatic situation leading up to the
attempted kidnapping of Antonio. The
hero is knocked out and placed in huge
sack into which Nose crawls.

HIGHER sEAsHORE RATES

Stating that large increases in operating
expenses, due to increased cost of labor
and material, and that heavy expendi-
lures for increased taxes and improve
ments have rendered the action absolutely
necessary, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has announced that, beginning
June 1st, extra passenger rates on the
West Jersey & Seashore Railroad will be
levied.
The increased rates will affect the re-
sorts named below. The increase on a
round.trip ticket from Philadelphia to
Atlantic City will be "a cents on both
the steam and electric roads. The in
creases on the round-trip fare to other
resorts will be the same where the rates
are exceptionally low.
Communication tickets will also be af-
fected so as to compare with rates on
the main line and other divisions of the
Pennsylvania. The rates on these are
now being adjusted.
These resorts will be affected: Atlantic
City, Cape May, Sea Isle City, Ocean City,
wildwood, Anglesea, Wildwood Crest,
Holly Beach and all resorts on the Wild
wood, Newfeld. Penn's Grove, Maurice
River, Bridgeton and Ocean City and
Avalon branches.

Hart, of Vermont, and the Rev. George
Y. Bliss, Of Vermont. The election will
now 90 over until the annual convention
is held in Wilmington in June.
DR.. Hart was rejected by the laity
wholly on account Of his age, he being
about sixty years old. DR.. Bliss was re-
iected for the simple reason that he
was young man OF whom the delegates
knew little and they we're unwilling to
a choice until they had further oppor-
tunity to consider his qualifications.
The balloting began 1880 this morning
and continued at the reassembIing of the

The laymen had no voice or vote, ex-
cept to rule, with their overwhelming
numbers, that the clergy must sit close
to business and keep on voting until
they agreed.
Although there was no apparent hope
of his election, three friends of the

HEAVY BUYERS

In our town, these days, we
see faces that are strangers to us,
faces that are not familiar in our
town.
People from dis tant parts of
our county, from other towns,
and other localities, some near,
some far-drive in to inspect and
ascertain personally the worth
and reliability of the pledges that
are made from time to time
to the public, by means of ex-
tensive advertising, by poster
notices and in the local papers.
Generally those strangers are
heavy bGycrs,. and i'c:t:-TTiIii home.
ward we'll satisfied with the re-
suits of their long trip. This is
the finest and highest recommen-
dation that can be given to our
business men and should be the
source of their keenest pride and
qualification. It proves that they
have backed up their promises,
and redeemed their pledges, and
that they were able to, as they
hoped, meet the expectations of
those who respond to their invi-
tations, and took them at their
word. 1t proves further, that
these messages to the public, in
one form or another-newspaper
lads" and poster notices-are
bringing them the hoped for re-
suits, in the form of increased
popularity, increased number of
customers and increased busi-
ness.
If it were not so, why then
those many strange faces in our
town these days ? Why then do
people travel so far, from dis
tant localities, to do business
here !?
Here and there in localities,
are still to be found little miserly
business men who have not yet
learned the great lesson of busi-
ness progression, but generally
they lean against deserted count
ers and sooner or later go to the
wall.
Business progression these
days is activity-expansion. The
business man must speak to the
people or they will not speak to
him. He owes it to the people,
and the people are entitled to
know what he has to offer them;
if he will not keep in touch with
them, and keep them enlightened
regarding his business, they will
reciprocate his slight. They will
not keep in touch with him and
he does not deserve it. The new
and just demand of the people,
to be recognized by the business
man, and to be informed from
time to time regarding his activ.
tiles, constitutes the most desir-
able, the most legitimate kind of
advertising.
1t is directly in opposition to
trick and wildcat advertising,
has the usefulness and Drawn of
sincerity, and finds stability in
sound reason, in justice, and in
good business principle.

There nave been attempts to cast

investigation of the case by the grand

to that effect.
Decision was reserved until
o'clock at which time Judge Nave
announced that the evidence was not
sufficient to hold the defendants and
he ordered them discharged from Gus

The decision was evidently a sur
prise to the defense also, as Judge
Baker had already made public at
Phoenix his plan of defense Tor his
clients.
1t is very improbable that the STAY

to Justice and the crime will go down
into history as one of the may mys-
tarious murders which have occurred
in the Toto country and all OF which
the perpetrators have never been
