MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

In a few weeks the citizens of
Camden will be called upon to elect
q Board of Mayor and Aldermen
for the ensuing year. We have
heard little said about the election,
and presume the present Mayor
and Board Of Aldermen will be re-
elected. However, wedo not know
what theirwishes are in this mat
ter, but we have heard of no oppo-
sition of any consequence, and if
it is necessary pressure might be
broughtto bear on these officials
to serve another year.
The business of looking after
the affairs of the town is no small
undertaking; it is thankless job,
and unless there are sinister mo-
tives for it we know of no one who
especially covets it. If the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen are will
ding to continue to serve Camden,
in our opinion they should GER
tainly be retained where they are.
Camden has advanced with great
strides during the past five years.
While we could and should have
better streets and sidewalks, and
the sanitary condition of the town
could be greatly improved, this is
not the fault of the city officials,
who have done the best possible
with the means at hand. We know
of no better way of expressingour
appreciation of what they have
done and our confidence in their
ability of continuing to look after
the general welfare of the town
than to re-elect them without op-
position.
Camden has suffered in thepast
by permitting personal prejudice
and petty politics to get inthe way
of progress, Now nearly every
one is for building up the town
and school, and is willing to use
his influence in that direction.
The knocker has practically been
eliminated, and, we hope, forever.
The town is growing at a rapid
rate, and many of the best citizens
of the county are finding out that
Camden is very desirable place
in which to live and at the same
time school their children. This
accounts in large measure for the
increasing demand for dwelling
houses, which is greater than at
any time during the past five years.
This growth and progress must be
kept up, and it can be by the har-
monious efforts of our people.
Let mass meeting of the citi-
of the town be called to select
ticket for Mayor and Board of
Aldermen, and then let the town
unanimously elect 1.-THE ticket. In
this way we can show to the out
side world that Camden can rise
above personal prejudices and
petty politics and that her citizens
are harmoniously working togeth-
er for the upbuilding of the town.

CREMATION IN THEOlD AND
 NEW WORLD.

Consul Thomas H. Norton shows in the following report from Chemnitz that the practice of cremation is mak- ing very marked progress in Europe:
 The first crematory in Germany was erected at Gotha in 1878. where 5.404 bodies have since been incinerated. The example of Gotha was followed with hesitation. first in Heidelberg. 1891: then in Hamburg. 1892: and later in Jena, 1898. Up to october there were seventeen crematories in Germany; two more were added during the month. viz, at Leipzig and Zwickau in Saxony. Five additional crematories now in process of erection at Baden-Baden. Dessau. Dresden. Gera and Lubeck. will be opened in 1910, bringing the total number to twenty four. Since 1878 the number of incinerations in Germany have been 19.121 The rapid growth at present is shown by the number of cremations in 1908, which was 4.050, as compared with 2,977 in 1907.
 In Germany, Austria and the German cantons of Switzerland there are now 194 cremation societies. In Italy there are twenty-eight crematories. and the practice has become quite general. Switzerland five. France three. Sweden two. Denmark one, Norway one.
 Nowhere in Europe is the practice. however. so prevalent as in the United States, where 3450O bodies were incin- erated in thirty-three -crematories in the past year.

parts. How did they impress the and the passion of Shakespeares heroines? Not long since a critic, mo- ticing the advent of new Ophelia in London, observed that while the actress acquitted herself very well. she could hardly be considered "Shakespeares Ophelia" Which 'ai- though the critic did not happen just then to recollect the factb vas undoubtedly the case, inasmuch as Shakespeare's Ophe'ia was boy either chorister or page in the service of one of the Globes patrons
 At the age of 10 Field (who, as all ready mentioned. took the part or Desdemona) was apprenticed to bookseller. but, no doubt. was very early pressed to enter as chorister among Queen Elizabeth's chapel boys. Here he gained great celebrity. Ben Johnson, who wrote anthems Tor me chapel boys for years. took charge or young Field, and instructed him in acting. being himself, though a bad actor. an excellent instructor. F1eid took the principal part in "Cynthias Reye,s'. and in "Poetaster, as well as in Shakespearean plays. He con- tinued to develop as an actor long after he became too old for women parts-From Men As Stage Hero- ines" in Strand Magazine

BEE sTiNGs AND RHEUMATISM.

A London newspaper prints the fol- lowing interview with a doctor of Birmingham. England. who has been experimenting with the new cure for rheumatism by means of the stings of bees.
 Would you rather have rheumatism or suffer the stings of 1000 bees in long -drawn-out succession?
 This. according to a correspondent who uses bee stings for the cure of rheumatism. seems to be the alterna- tive before many victims of the com plaint. and it is not to be wondered at that many people prefer the pains of the rheumatism.
 Lurking at the back of these per- sons minds there is. no doubt. the argument: What if I suffer all these stings for so many weeks. and still find at the end that my joints ache as they did at the beginning"
 But this is wrong idea, says the correspondent He has a case in which 1000 stings have been admin istered, and in which the same num- Der remains to be given; but at the end the rheumatism, he declares. will certainly have gone. A cure is cer- tain, provided sufficient stings are given.
 My instruments" the correspond ent. J. J. Adamson of Becroft. Bir mingham. writes consist solely of two pairs of wooden forceps and wooden box to hold two dozen bees. The box is so constructed that l can take out one bee at time without the least fear of it escaping.
 Then. by using one pair of forceps, I get one bee out and with the other pair I get hold of it in exactly the right position for stinging.
 "On applying the bee see that it stings straight. and so gives the full benefit of the venom. Six to twelve bees are used at a time. and the treatment makes the patient all aglow.
 The venom is soon all over the system. and then the patient begins to feel as if he or she were being stung again" This. though uninvit- ing when regarded as mere sensation. lis a good sign." and may keep on for two hours
 Next day a slight irritation will set in. and last. perhaps. couple of days or SO" Then comes the second dose" in about week, and this is three-bee stronger.
 "On my third visit I inquire how the patient feels. and if he says he feels sickly on the day following my stinging. I apply the same amount; but. if not, then I apply few more than the previous time So it goes on. until the patient sufferer is cured. There are, however, shirkers. I may say I have had patients who have given up the treatment because of the irritation. I find medical men do not like handling bees" says Adam son So he has devised a special ap- pliance to hold 100 bees. and it is so contrived that the operator need not touch a bee at all

FRENCH TRIAL METHODS A SUR
 vlvAC\

Anybody who has ever dipped into voIume of English state trials must be struck by the striking resemblance pe- tween a treason trial under the Tudors
 or stuart, and the Steinheil trial. In both there is the same elaborate anu rigorous preliminary inquiry. the same conviction on the part of the puphc authorities of the prisoners guilt. the
 same determination on the part Of the iudge to secure condemnation. In seventeenth century England, as in
 modern France. there was the judge d'instruction. and the great Coke him- self ragged against prisoner as Vlo-
 lentlv as NJ de Valles. The secret IT, ouiry by the Judge d'instruction gave place to public preliminary inqury before the magistrate, but the tradi- ton of judicial bias. at least in state trials. lasted right cown to the first quarter of the nineteenth century.
 when he judi-.a .ary was one of the in
 struments of Tory repression during those bitter years. The treason trlal in "A Tale of Two Cities" is no flight
 sf fancy. but piece of faithfui hfs- torical portraiture: the tradition was still lively in Dickens day In our day the system is SO dead that Englsh
 people find it difficult to believe that f ever existed here. It is forgotten. and it is most certainly not regretted How many innocent men it destroyed and is destroying wherever it is still in force one hates to think. for when the whole power of a state is exerted to
 secure a conviction a mans innocence is a poor protection In the secret in
 auiry by the magistrate a powerful. acute, trained mind. with all the re-
 sources of the police to draw upon, is pitted against a prisoner and against
 witnesses who have not the assistance
 of counsel. and who are fortunate in
 deed if they do not fall into some of the innumerable snares spread for them; and in the public trial the dice are weighted not less heavily. The guilty may find it difficult to escape.
 but the innocent are in not much bet
 ter case. Perhaps the survival in
 France of the Roman" procedure is due partly to the sources from which their law is drawn, and partly to the
 authority of the government, in a
 highly centralized state But what
 ever the secret of its survival it is
 quite possibly nearing its end. French
 opinion is turning against it. Perhaps the most famous of NJ. Rrieux's plays is La Robe Rouge" the whole burden of which is an attack upon the sys-
 tenn; it is still more significant that
 this very play was chosen for produc- tion recently at the Comedie Francaise the premier state theater. That is evi- dence of a movement of opinion to
 which the Steinheil trial can hardly fail to lend impetus.-London Daily
 News.

SHAKESPEARE NEVER SAW
 4 WOMAN PLAY JULIET

Nothing is more astounding to the modern spectator of Shakespeare S plays, in which the female roles often surpass in interest and importance those assigned to men. than to reflect that neither Shakespeare himself nor the audience of his day ever saw a woman act Juliet or Lady Macbeth, or Ophelia or Rosalind. or any ether female part in that wondrous galaxy of female beauty. wit and virtue ere ated by the worlds greatest poet. In deed. if the leading female roles men, toned in the playbills at the Globe theater were collated they might read something Ike this:
 Portia ... Master James Bryson Desdemona. Master Nathaniel Field Lady Macbeth Master Robert Cough Posalind Master Joseph Taylor Juliet. Master Richard Robinson Ophelia ... Master Ned Alleyn
 What could be a stronger illustra- tion of contemporary taste and man ners than this. that the idea of a woman acting on the stage. even such a part as Volumina or Virgilia, was repugnant and offensive to the spec tators? Consequently. the wonder has always been how the boys of the Elizabethan stage got through their

Moral Over Children.

The peasantry Of Greece firmly be-
lleve that the future Of every child is
determined by the three fates. known
by the name Of the Moral. In the
popular mind this trio of fates are
supposed to be three old and wrinkled
women whose habitation Is Il noun

to a house where. new baby has
made its appearance. says the London
Globe.
When they are expected all furni-
ture is set aside so that their aged
and tottering feet may not be him
dered. and refreshments in the shape
of honey cakes. bread and wine are
placed ready for these important
though invisible guests. Money. too.
is placed for them as bribe to get
their favor for the baby. SO that his
future may be one long. sweet song.

good and bad are in the giving OF the
fates.

beauty be alluded to when the Moral
are present. as this will certainly make
