Moving Pictu res

With the advent of the Eureka 1 Moving Picture Company, which opened in St. Jean Baptiste hall, Pro vidence street, Wednesday evening, those who have the "picture habits in this city can now be entertained every evening in the week and not see the same pictures twice.
 The oldest of the city's picture shows is that conducted by Frank Guilmet on Pomfret street. MT. Guilmet has made the place pay from the start by giving his patrons high class enter tainment, and catering to their wants in farsighted manner that has won
 popularity for his show in it's cosy little quarters.
 When the Bradley theatre changed management last spring and announc- ed that moving pictures would be the program at this house during the sum- mer months, 1t instantly met ready response from the public who seeming | ly connot get their fill of these whole some entertainments. NJ r. K e. I bart, resident manager, at once won popularity by the way he catered to the comfort of his patrons, and provid- ed diversions for them. He installed | a system of electric fans, had souvenir 1 matinees for the children, established the popular amateur nights, ladies | nights etc., and nowadays the house is filled to capacity.
 The Eureka Company, which made its debut Wednesday evening, under the management of George Trudell, ot
 Worcester, also opened to capacity and
 gave their first-nighters program | that will cause them to return often.
 They showed new pictures, travelletts,
 and illustrated songs. As feature
 picture they showned "The Lion Hunt,n never before shown. Peter
 Burbank, of Worcester, late of the Howard Athneum, Boston, made an in-
 stanfaneous hit in histenor solos, receiv- ing five eneores to his song, IA Dream

 warm welcome on his first appearance.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, ss they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way 10 cure deafness, and that is by constitutional reme- dies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition Of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the re suit, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which k noth- ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

HIGH SCHOOL LOURSE Al
STATE NORMAL. Il

| The New Jersey State Board Of Educa-
! tion, at meeting held in Atlantic City,
Tuesday, April 7th, 1908, by unanimous
vote adopted a resolution establishing a
High School Teachers ConTse at the State
Normal School at Trenton.
The object Of this course is to provide an
Opportunity for those in our State who
wish TO teach in the high schools to prepare
themselves within the State and under the
State system Of public instruction, just as
under this system they have hitherto pre-
pared themselves in the Normal School
more especially for teaching in the ele-
mentary grades
The conditions Of admission to this
course are the same as those for admission
TO the regular school course. The length
of the course is four years. Two years of
the work OF the course is the equivalent of
the regular normal course. Two years Of
it is academic work with teaching in view.
This academic work will fully cover that
which is usually given in the freshman and
sophmore years Of the college courses, and
which, together with the professional work,
will make the course as whole the equiv
alent of a teacher college course.
Graduates Of any one Of the regular
normal school courses may complete this
course in two years Those who begin
this course when they first enter the
normal school will be permitted TO modify
in two or three particulars, to be designat-
ed later, the work usual to the regular
professional courses
One Of the very great advantages Of this
course is that it can be taken at the same
modest cost of the regular normal course /;
that is to say, simply the expense at the
dormitories for boarders.
class will be started in September,
1908 Already numbsr Of the graduates
Of the Normal School have registered for
this class
The full particulars Of this course canL OF
be put in print until the issue of the next
catalogue, but the catalogue description Of
the present normal courses, and the
description Of the advanead high school
course units will practically cover all in
quiries.

EDISON'S CEMENT HOUSES.
Electric Wizard Tells Board of Trade
About The Cement Houses He
Can Build For 81 900.

Several Boards of Trade around the
country have received the following letter
from Thomas A. Edison.
Orange, N. j., May 9, 1908.
am in receipt of many letters regarding
newspaper articles, describing cement
house, which l am about to erect. The
writers of most Of the letters have misread
the articles and take the occasion to ex-
plain just what propose to do
now have model, one-tourth the size
Of the house, designed by New York arch
itects
This winter shall construct iron moulds
and devise machinery whereby a full sized
house cast be cast in twelve hours, after
the moulds are in position. At the end Of
six days the iron moulds are removed and
the house will be complete, including
stairs, partitions, mantels, bath, ETC., and
after drying six days viii probably be
ready for occupancy.
To build this house for 81 900 it is es-
sential that it be erected on sandy soils. as
the materials excavated for the cellar is all
that is required to build the house, Of
course, the cement.
The cost of the iron moulds will be about
$25, 900, the cost of the other machinery
about $4,000. From this outfit an IN
limited number of houses can be erected.
But houses cannot be erected for the price
named, with single mould, as the ma
chinery and the men would be idle several
days. But, if say moulds for six houses
were used, the machinery and men would
be kept in continuous employment; erect
ing from 10 to Y houses monthly. The
patterns which I am making are so devised
that the same patterns can be used to make
oyer l6 different types of houses.
Ii is probable that companies will be
formed, who viii have several moulds,
each Of different design, and will go
actively into business.
have not gone into this wish the idea
of making money from it, aud will be glad
to license reputable parties to make moulds
and erect houses without any payments on
account of patents. The only restriction
being that the designs of the house be sat
isfactory TO me, and that they shall use
good material; but nothing will be done
until the experimental house is erected.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS A. EDISON.

BuPRina Brush.

There has been much misunderstanding
regarding the application of the forest FIRE
law and the State Forrest Commission calls
attention to the fact that permits to burn
brush, waste, ETC., are required only in
township or other municipalities in which
fire wardens have been appointed. Further,
that even in such townships permits are not
now necessary when the FIRE is in public
road, garden, or plowed field, and is
more than 200 feet away from any woodland
brushland, or field containing dry grass or
other infammable material In all other
cases permits must be obtained from the
frewarden at all times Of the year (not
only from March 10 to May 81, as formerly.
The minimum penalty for burning brush
without permit has been reduced from $50
to $40. For all other violations of the fire
law the penalty is still not less than $50.
In all municipalities without frewardens
no permits are required under any eircum-
stances.
The Gloucester County wardens are as
follows: franklin Township Township
Warden, Jacob F. Maier, Malaga; District
Wardens, Wesley surran, w T. Jones,
Franklinville. Monroe Township-Town-
ship Warden, Dunlevy Laughlin, Williams
town; Dlstricb Wardens, James H. Rhodes,
