War has been frequently called to at
tention has now become reality, and
that Is that 1t costs a lot of money to
keep stone roads in repair. When the
building of stone roads was first agitated
In this county the warning was repeatedly
uttered that the fact that the roads would
not last forever without cost must not be
lost sight of. But SO eager were those
who wanted the roads that they plunged
ahead and got what they were after. One
of the most enthusiastic supporters of
stone road building never tired of telling
how the old Romans built good roads
''2200 years ago and they are as good now
as when first built" But there seems to
be difference In this country, and the old
Romans who could build roads that were
just as good over TWO thousand years
later had us distanced by many laps.
Burlington county has 80 miles of stone
roads and they are now showing the signs
of wear, and demand attention, which
costs money. At the January meeting OF
the Board of Freeholders the sum of
$26, 900 was appropriated for repairs to
stone roads, and at the meeting on We'd
nesday the finance committee called at
tention to the fact that only 81, 600 of that
sum was available with only half the
year gone. So that we have "a condition
and not a theory" confronting us. We
have the roads and they must not be
allowed to decay, but $SS, 900 is pretty
good amount to put out on repairs-about
81, 800 mile. Still there will not be any
more new roads for some time.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
From George Bernard Shaw to Israel
Zangwil1 will be the step taken by the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, and that it will be
made with the accustomed facility of this
skilled organization goes without saying.
''Nurse Marjorie the play outlined for
presentation this week, is comedy of
London life, which is remembered
pleasantly by theatregoers through the
appearances in it of Eleanor Robson. In
this play Mr.. Zangwi11 strikes no serious
note, nor is any problem expounded. 1t
is, however, a bright and snappy little
comedy, in which scintillant wit and
brilliant conversation form an important
part With this sort of dramatic material
the Orpheum Players always succeed
admirably, and the production should
therefore be source of satisfaction to the
patrons of the house. Lady Marjorie,
daughter of the Duke and Duchess of
Donegal, is a nurse in a private hospital.
Here she meets John Danbury, member
of the House of Commons, and leader of
the people. Danbury is there for the
treatment of his eyes and when, after
successful operation, he beholds Nurse
Marjorie, he is so badly smitten that he
decides to remain in the hospital until
he has won her. He feigns relapse
just to have the pretty nurse wait on him
and even refuses to leave the institution
to help his father, wealthy shipblilder,
adjust strike that threatens the ruin of
his plant Before the love match between
the two is brought to a happy culmina-
ton there are many trials and complica-
tions, but all is finally adjusted and John
and Marjorie are made happy. The
comedy is in four acts and there are
many amusing, also several exciting
situations. The part of Nurse Marjorie
will be played by Miss Leah Winslow and
that of John Danbury will be presented
by George Parker. The cast will also
include Robert Cummings and all other
favorites of the Orpheum Company. The
production will be staged under the per-
sonal supervision of Stage Director Percy
Winter

The Greatest Wealth.

Is there any compensation in money
for a starved, stunted. dwarfed mind?
Can lands and houses, stocks and
bonds. pay a man for living a narrow,
rutty, sordid life? How much money
would match the wealth of a trained
mind, of unfolded possibilities? Is the
capacity for the appreciation Of the
meaning of life. of the lessons Of civil
lization, worth no more than ones
bread and butter and roof? Can any
one conceive of greater possessions
than an intellect well trained and dis
ciplined, than a broad. deep, full orbed
mind responsive to all beauty, all
good ?-Orison SWEET Marden In Sue

him that was supposed to be satisfactory,
but after the game at Medford he had the
same old crouch and then decided not to
come here any more. The next heard

feated he was to be paid, but not other

efforts, as the team touched him for six
hits, one for two bases, another for three
bases Goodbrod's errors gave Burling-
ton the game, and Thorn ought to divide
the pay with him.

The Gold Water Cure.

If you feel cold coming on, drink
glass of cold water, not ICED, and re-
peat at half hour intervals until relief
is felt. If hot water is easier to take,
1t can be substituted for the cold, par
ticularly In the morning and at night.
Taking an abundance of liquid matters
more than its temperature. 1t is there
where the patients fall short They
viii drink glass or two Of water,
then declare they can take no more
and, ceasing, decide water cannot drive
out cold. This water cure is not so
modern as the most Of us think 1t. In
an old prescription book Of a famous
physician of more than a hundred
years ago this curious remedy for a
cold is found: Let We patient who
feels a cold coming on eat Of a fine,
big salt herring just before going to
bed This will make We patient drink
plenty of water" If you have not
strength of purpose to drink freely Of
water for the colds sake, make your
self thirsty as best you can-only take
all the water possible.-Philade

HANGED For VIOLATING Smoke Law,

Hanged For Violating Smoke Law.
Curious and little known facts about
the house fire were mentioned by e.
81. Blake. addressing the surveyors
institution on warming and ventila-
ton. Fires were at one time great
luxury, he said, and even the right to
use the fire had been bequeathed. Thus
the will Of one Richard Byrchett Q510
read:
81 will vt sayd Nell my wye shall
have We chamber she lyes In and
lyberte at We flyer in the house; all
yese thyngs shal she have so long as
she US wido."
Coal, continued Mr.. Blake, was first
imported into London at the end of the
thirteenth century, but the smoke pro-
duced by burning it in improperly con-
structed CRATES caused such a preju-
dice against 1t that in 1906 law was
passed making 1t a capital offense to
burn coal in the city. The Tower rec
ords give details of mans trial and
execution for the offense. = London

By THE falling Of window sash at
factory building in Burlington. boy was
badly hurt. The boy was playing on a
pile of lumber and 1t is claimed the sash
fell because it was not properly set by the
workmen who had left 1t. There will
probably be suit for damages. and the
defence will be likely to offer all sorts Of
excuses, but the case seems to be In favor
of the boy, If a trial in the United States
Circuit court on similar charge, amounts
to anything. In this case little girl was
playing in front of a factory In Hoboken
and heavy girder fell on her foot, dam
aging it so that amputstion was necessary.
The defence claimed the child was tres
passer, and had no right to be playing
on the building material or on the
premises. The.trial occupied one week,
the jury being out all night, finally re-
turning verdict in favor of the child for
5000. This judgment was appealed to
the United States Supreme Court, and
that body decided the verdict must stand.
The contention of the plaintiff was that
child cannot be trespasser and cannot
be held as such by reason Of its tender
years.

Protested politicians who have re-
duced public Office to an exact science
find the Independent voter a sad STUN
bling block, fact which is amusingly
disclosed by a story found in the life
Of the late George Monro Grant, the
eminent Canadian educator and clergy
man.
Toward the end Of Sir John Macdon-
AIDS life he and Principal Grant, then
the head of Queens college, met at
dinner at the house, of the premier's
brother-in-law, Professor Williamson.
''How l WISH" the premier said to
the principal, that you would be a
steady friend of mine"
my dear Sir john" the principal
replied. 81 have always supported you
when you were right"
The premier's eyes twinkled. and he
laid his hand upon the shoulder of the
principal
"My dear man." said he. 81 have NO
use for that species Of friendship
Greatness Not Free From Shame.
The transcendent power and fame
with which great genius has at differ
ent periods endowed various men do
not always insure them from after
misery nd shame. This was striking !
ly exemplified in the cases of the fourE
greatest of military conquerors-Alex-E
ander, Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon /
The general Judgment Of mankind has
conceded them the first place in the /
lines of action for which they were
severally distinguished. Yet they all
met with melancholy deaths. Two of
them suffered for years the keenest
humiliations which a total destruction
Of their hopes could bring. Two per
ished at the zenith Of their power, just
as they might have expected a long
enjoyment of the fruits Of their ire

TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1909

REPORTS of dead and wounded as the
result of noisy celebration of the Fourth
of July are coming In, and the indica-
lions are that the list will be larger than
ever before. In Camden cannon ex-
ploded and killed three men. Three others
who were in charge of the cannon and
who escaped unhurt have been arrested to
await some sort of charge to be made
against them. The public is gradually
awakening to the fact that the celebra-
ton of the Nations birthday, as now
conducted, has gone far beyond the safe
ty limit. In former years the small fire.
cracker and torpedo were satisfactory to
Young America. but in latter years the
large dynamite explosive. pistol with
blank cartridges and other articles that
make louder noise and are correspond
ingly dangerous must be employed. The
age of the child who handles these things
is of little consequence. To look back
ward and recall what happened last week
does not repair the damage done to life
and property, but now is the time to
begin the consideration of what may
be done in the future to remedy what has
become a very serious situation.
