Strong Cheese Defies
Postal Regulations

Tor not the macaroni shall be sent
lon to Washington.
AS for the cheese. 1t Is probable
that it will be consigned to the
rubbish barrel of the postoffice,
as it has begun to make its pres
ence strongly noticeable in the Of
flee. Mr.. Gilmore says that while
he has not held the cheese as
long as required by the postal
regulations regarding letters and
packages which are unclaimed, he
is not inclined to the opinion that
he should keep the cheese in the
office until the required time has
elapsed for, as he expresses 1t,
by that time we would need a
special storeroom for that one
piece of cheese"
Whether or not the macaroni
and cheese found it's way into the
mail by mistake, or was sent to
some one who will never receive
it, as a joke, the officials of the
post office are unable to deter
mine.

SEATTLE, Feb. 16.-Macaroni

combination in the kitchen and on
the dinner table, but they are not
often found in Uncle Sans mail

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtaina
BILE In Small Quantities.

Since its discovery one year ago
the new drug, poslam, has success
fully cured thousands of chronic
cases of eczema and other dis
tressing skin affections. Hereto
fore poslam has been dispensed
solely for the benefit of eczema
patients In large jars sufficient for
"a months treatment. This was
found to be an inconvenience to
many thousands who use It for
minor skin troubles, such as PIN
pies, blackheads, herpes, acne,
scaly scalp, complexion, blemishes,
itching feet, piles. etc.. which re-
quire but q small quantity to cure.
To overcome this, and in response
to urgent appeals, the dispensers
of poslam have been obliged to
adopt, In addition to the regular
two-dollar package. a special fifty
cent size, which in future may be
found on sale at Victor H. NAL
strom and Ryner r. Malstrom
and other leading drug stores in
Tacoma. or may be ordered direct
from the Emergency Laboratories,
No. 80, West 25th street, New
York city. In all eczema cases
poslam stops itching with first ap-
plication, and proceeds to heal Inn
mediately; chronic cases being
cured in two weeks. In less seri-
GUS skin troubles, resuitsare seen
after an overnight application.
Samples for experimental pur-
poses may still be had. free of
charge. By writing to the laborar
tories for them.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
ssnorothv Vernon

"Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hail." a
romance of adventure, dramatized from
fine book of the same title by Charles
Major, will be presented by the Orpheum
PLAYERS at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia this week The play
IS a historical melo-drama and was
produced originally in this city by Bertha
zalland. It's period is the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. The spirit of chiva1ry, of dar-
ing deeds to gain my 1ady's favor, of hero
ism and bravery, runs all through the
play and carries the spectator back to the
sixteenth century. The scenes are laid at
the castles of Lord Vernon and his hated n
val Lord Rutland. The scenes and period of
the play call for picturesque settings and
brilliant costuming. Marion Barney viii
be seen in the title role and William In
gerson will play the part OF Sir John
Manners. Robert Cummings, Peter Lang
Leah Wins1ow, George D. Parker, Kath-
lene mcdonnell, Joseph Creaghan, Ada
Boshel1, Henry Edwards and other Or
pheum favorites will be in the cast. The
play will be staged by Percy Winter
Next week, the presentation at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, will be
s'The Girl Who Has Everything" The
play was originally produced in Philadel-
phia by Miss Eleanor Robson, but it re-
manned only three days, going to New
York where it had long and prosperous
season. Its presentation in Philadelphia
may, therefore, be claimed to be a new
offering.
On Monday, the 2Ist, the Orpheum
Players will present the famed tragedy,

Court.

The regular session of court was held
on Thursday, when Judge Horner heard
the cases presented for his attention.
Robert Cooper pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault and battery on Ellison
Moore, of Riverside, who was a passenger
on trolley car. Cooper had the same
old plea 'drunk"-and the evidence
much to be the fact. He had been to
Burlington and got too much liquor
abroad, and as he left the car he commit
ted the assault. Then he began to amuse
himself by shooting revolver at the car
in true cowboy style. Sentence was de-
ferred for a week.
James Smith, colored man from Bor-
dentown, was sent to the county jail for
three moHths. This case was another of
too much drink. The charge was that
James attempted to cut a companion with
a razor James denied having such a
weapon but 1t was shown that he passed
the weapon to friend just as he was
arrested. Judge Horner told the prisoner
that the state prison would be his landing
place If he came before the court again.
The application of Albert Wolfrom to
have license of the West End hotel,
Mount Holly, transferred to Frank
Brewer, was taken up. George M. Hill
man represented the applicant. The case
was before the court few weeks ago but
was laid over because the applicant was
supposed to be under indictment in the
Gloucester courts for breaking the liquor
laws. Mr. Hillman presented certificate
from the Prosecutor of the Pleas of that
county showing that the indictment had
been abandoned. He therefore held that
there was nothing against the character of
Brewer and that the latter should be grant
cd tho rrivila0a he son Oht
J. III. Davis represented the other side.
He offered a remonstrance with many sig
natures, against transferring the privilege.
Judge Horner was not very favora5ly i'm
pressed with the act of the remonstrants
as there had been ample opportunity to
present this paper long since. Not until
the court had heard the case and, of its
own volition, had postponed action, giving
information on which the remonstrance
was based, was anything done. He listen
ed, however, to the plea of Mr.. Davis.
and decided that the transfer should not
be made.
Harold B. Wells asked to have the
action of Mayor Gabel, of Bordentown,
looked into. Mr.. Wells thought the
Mayor was not acting entirely within the
meaning and the intent of the law in sew
eral cases where he sat as committing
magistrate. In one case colored woman
was charged with keeping company with
white men, and for this the Mayor impos-
ed fine of $15. This was paid, but Mr..
Wells held that the fine was Illegally i'm
posed and that the money should be re-
turned. In another case John McHugh,
charged with assault and battery on his
wife. was fined SIS 40. This was not en-
tirely consistent with the law and that
sum will be returned to the party who
paid it. Howard Swain was arrested for
the shooting of pigeon. was never given
a hearing, but paid fine of $500 on a
"curbstone judgement. This was allow
ed to stand, but the Mayor received some
to conduct his Office.

West Jersey Horse Show

II the West Jersey Horse Show Asso
citation doesn't double its number of boxes
next year, 1t win not be because there
no demand for such an addition. All the
boxes have been sold for the show to bt
held at Collingswood Friday and Satur
day of next week, June IS and 10, and
there are still applications being received
Ten new boxes were built this year but
that increase doesn't commence to meet
the demand, all of which appears to indi
cate that the interest In Jerseys annua
appearance of fine horses is always in
creasing.
The grand stand seats are reserved thi!
year and will permit the holders to leave
at their will instead of remaining in {
seat to hold it.
The prize list for this, the fourth annua
exhibition of the West Jersey Horse Show
includes enough events to warrant al
early start and late closing for both day
of the show that is now anticipated will
as much interest as any annual happen
ing in the county.
With the exception of the hunters ant
jumpers, Jersey horses only are eligible
While Jersey provides few of the horses
in these classes In the several shows O
this part of the east, the competition ii
very keen and 1t is not at all safe betting
that Jersey hurdlers will be left out of thu
blue ribbon winners.
