Political Matters.

Benjamin W. Zelley makes formal an-
uouncement that he is q candidate for re-
election as township committeeman of
Northampton township.
Thomas W. Nippins intends to be a
candidate for nomination on the Re-
publican ticket for the office of
Township Committee. Tom says he will
stand on his record when he was in that
body some time since.
The following, taken from the Phila-
delphia Record on Sunday. was dated Bur
lington, and is supposed to be the situa-
ton as seen by the correspondent of that
paper:
"War to the political death between
Assemblymen Griffith W. Lewis, of Bur-
lington, and John B. Trick, of Vincentown,
rival candidates for the county's Senator
ial toga, was declared to-day, when, In
answer to the demand of county bosses

that he withdraw from the fight. Lewis
began to circulate the petitions which will
place his name on the primary ticket.
The Assemblyman backed his action by
the announcement that he was in the fight
to stay
"It is true that efforts have been made
to have me withdraw from the contest for
the Republican Senatorial nomination. he
said. 1T is equally true that from many
of the best-known business and profess
sional men of the county and from scores
of the stanchest Republicans, have come
urgent requests that stay in the fight.
/ have no intention of Withdrawing; | am
in the fight to finish, and my petition
will be filed as soon as the proper number
of voters names are subscribed
Lewis was Republican leader in the
Assembly last year, where he won many
political friends throughout the state, and
it generally was supposed there would be
no opposition to his candidacy to succeed
Senator Robbins, who, thanks to Governor
Fort. landed snug berth in the Office of
Chancery Clerk. Then came the move of
the Kean forces to invade South Jersey.
Lewis has already won the enmity of
County Boss Josh Borton, who is said to
be able to control majority of the men,
bers of the Republican County Committee
of which he is chairman, and he is using
that strength to endorse Trick, who now
has the known support of the Kean
interests.
1t is rumored that John Leech will be
candidate for reelection for Township
Committeeman at the coming election in
Riverside. George A. Mccoy will be a
candidate for reelection as Freebooter,
and 1t Is reported that Herman Bisbing
and Charles ]. Fisher are also flirting
with that nomination.

Life Is a Funny Proposition.

Frank Campbell, of New York, has
made hit with the following piece of
information, which he is circulating in
dustriously:
''Man comes into this world without
his consent and leaves 1t against his will.
During his stay on earth his time is spent
in one continuous round of contraries and
Misunderstanding by the balance of our
species. In his infancy he is an angel; in
his boyhood he is devil; in his manhood
he is everything from lizard up; in his
duties he is fool; if he raises a family he
is chump; If he raises small check, he
is thief, and then the law raises the devil
with him; if he is poor man, he is poor
manager and has no sense; If he is rich,
he is dishonest, but considered smart; If
he Is In politics, he is a CRATER and a
crook, if he is out of politics, you can't
place him as he is an undesirable citizen;
If he goes to church he Is hypocrite; If
he stays at home he Is sinner-if he do
mates to foreign missions, he does 1t for
show; If he doesn't he Ia stingy and a
tight-wad. When he first comes into the
world, everybody wants to kiss him-be-
fore he goes out they all want to kick him.
If he dies young there was great future
before him; if he lives to ripe old age,
he is simply in the way in living to save
funeral expenses. Life Is funny road
but we all like to travel 1t just the same.

Rase Ball.

There was great game of base ball In
Mount Holly on Tuesday. 1t was be.
tween mines composed of members of
Mount Holly Lodge of Elks and public
office holders of Burlington County.
At the conclusion of the first inning 1t
had been demonstrated that the Elks were
too much for their opponents The Elks
hit the ball hard and often. Auditor Pea
cock was the pitcher for the officials. His
long suit is pitching a high ball That is
usually very effective, but it has no terrors
for the Elks. They are too familiar with
that kind of article.
Coroner Bisbing talked like an exper-
fenced ball player, and handed out lots of
instructions His talking was very good.
Coroner Grobler played a creditable
game, but had to admit that his side was
In too fast company
Roland Warrlck played second base like
an eighteen-year old lad. He took every
thing that came in his direction, and his
stick work was excellent.
Harry Mason made some fast plays also,
one of them-catching fly near the fence
being of the sensational order.
Sheriff Worrell tried to make believe
that he was ''just as young as be used to
be, " and he made out pretty well, con-
sidering the bay window handicap.
At the conclusion of the fourth inning,
pitcher Peacock retired from the box. He
said he had heard rumors that the Elks
could ''hit 'em up" pretty well, but he had
had no definite idea before, that they were
such sluggers. Ellis Parker succeeded
Peacock He did quite well until his arm
got sore and the Elks got their second
wind. Parker said his sore arm inter-
fered with the pitching of his principal
plate. A good many of them got broken,
however. the ball landing all over the
field.
But Parker wasn't the only man who

Theatres.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
San American Citizen" one of the
brightest and best comedies in which Nat
Goodwin ever appeared, will be presented
by the Orpheum Players at the Chestnut
Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. The
very title of the play indicates a dashing,
brilliant and breezy comedy, full of the
ginger and snap which are component
parts of every American citizen. Since its
initial presentation by Mr.. Goodwin it has
always been favorite with those theatre
goers who love clean, wholesome Ameri-
can comedy, and its popularity has never
diminished. Although the principal char
acters in the play are Americans and the
plot is woven about an American citizen,
three of its four acts are laid on foreign
ground and the chief incidents and adven-
lures occur abroad. Charley Balsar will
be seen in the title role and Miss Leah
Winslow will play Beatrice. The cast
will include the Orpheum Company, and
the production, which will be made under
the personal supervision of Stage Director
Percy Winter, will be one of the prettiest
of the year.

road station at Wrightstown, saw smoke
coming out and concluded the place was
on fire. They gave the alarm and the fire
company was soon on hand. The build
ing was a one-story frame. One side has
just been rented to a barber, and he went
into the shop about noon, and then went
to join his family at a picnic being held
near the town. When the firemen got
into the shop they found the flames were
making considerable Roadway, but water
was soon put on in sufficient quantity to
prevent the fire from spreading. In the
side of the building nearest the station a
woman had shop, but she was not COM
PEELED to move any Of her goods. The
origin of the fire is supposed to have been
the dropping of match into some waste.
The damage was very slight.

thing, and all those whose duties are

rest and refreshing we hope to get
from the trip over the Southern

good results, are pretty sure that we
