Mayor Eiaussling and Many
Others Learned to Swim
Fright in Our Midst"

That the "old swimmin' hole at the
incline plane Of the Morris canal just
west of the Plane street bridge is still
popular with rising Young America
may be proven any warm afternoon by
a visit to the bridge crossing the canal
at this point. In fact, the railing is
nearly always crowded while the boys
are swimming here.
Ever since the canal was built this
has been the ~favorite spot for growing
Newarkers to receive their first lessons
in nata~torialistics. Here they learned
how to handle themselves as wen
in water as on land, and in all proba
bility the lessons they learned here
have proved exceedingly valuable in
years, There is every reason to
believe that the swimming hole has
been responsible f1 the rescue of many
lives. ..' .
Mayor Learned to Swim There.
Such citizens as Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling, City Counsel James r.. Nugent.
Sheriff Frank H.. Sommer, Aldermen
Leveen and Wright, as well as County
Counsel Elvin Crane, County Physician
Daniel Elliott and, in fact, hundreds
of others received their first lessons in
at this famous spot.
It is probable thatHno other spot in
the city Is so dear to the hearts of
old Newarkers as this swimming hole.

He does not hesitate to say that
Peruna invigorates and gives fresh
strength to mind and body.

ION PAROLE. :"

When Miss Mary Emerson appears
at the Beverly next Tuesday night, the
18th, she will be seen in play new to
the majority of our theatre goers,
namely, ION Parole.'' This piece is
described by the New York papers as
"a romance of the South" and the
further comment is also made that it
is the first war play ever written from
the Confederate view point. Miss En-
erson's managers ransacked the field
of plays before they found one with a
part suited to her remarkable talents.
The role in which she appears Is that
Of Constance Pinckney, a spirited
young Southern girl whose father and
brother are fighting with Gen. Lee.
In order to assist them she frequently
carries dispatches from one part Of
the army to another, and it was during
one of her trips that she was sur.
prised by the Federal forces under
Maj. Francis Dale. By clever ruse
she eluded him. but was again caught
and put upon parole. Just before that
she sent word to her father and BROTH
er, and the capture of the major was
the result. She repented and tried to
prevent the capture, but was bitterly
denounced for her apparent duplicity.
The course of true love is very tr0u-
bled during the first three acts, but
the last one sets Alright all difficulties.
The entire cast Is composed of the best
actors and actresses.
