Several gentlemen who made an inspec-
ton, claim to have seen at least two
hundred pike, about twelve inches long,
lying dead on the meadows at the foot OF
White street. This resulted from low
water leaving the fish high and dry. The
ditch running through the meadows was
found to be swarming with live fish, and
many of these were transferred to the
upper creek.

Fitz Herbert won the suburban race
which took place at Sheepshead Bay a
week ago on Friday. That event occurred
on the birthday of DR.. J. Hume Carter, Of
Mount Holly, which afforded him degree
of pleasure for the fact that he raised this
horse while he was manager of the stock
farm of Perry Belmont, at Lexington, KY.
DR.. r. w. Carter, a brother, also shared
in the pleasures Of that race, as Love Tie
ran second in the double event. DR.. Car
ter raised the latter horse on the Rancocas
stock farm at Jobstown, of which he is
manager.

A few weeks ago two government en-
gineers made an inspection of the Mount
Holly branch of the Rancocas creek rela-
tive to the movement to have 1t dredged
to make it navigable. They noticed and
called attention to the vast amount of
rubbish, broken glass. coal ashes etc,
being thrown into the stream, which is a
violation of the law. The engineers have
sent copy of the law relative thereto
and asked that it be enforced.
The section of the act referred to is as
follows:
Sec. IS. That it shall not be lawful to
throw, discharge, or deposit, or cause,
suffer or procure to be thrown, discharged
or deposited either from or out of any
ship, barge, or other floating craft of any
kind, or from the shore, wharf, manufac-
turing establishment, or mill of any kind.
any refuse matter of any kind or descrip-
ton whatever other than that flowing
from streets and sewers and passing there
from in liquid state, into any navigable
water of the United States, or into any
tributary of any navigable water from
which the same shall float or be washed
into such navigable water; and 1t shall not
be lawful to deposit, or cause, suffer, or
procure to be deposited material of any
kind In any place on the bank of any navi-
gable water, or on the bank of any tribu-
tary of any navigable water, where the
same shall be liable to be washed into
such navigable water, either by ordinary
or high tides, or by storms or floods, or
otherwise, whereby navigation shall or
may be impeded or obstructed.

Base Ball.

Mount Holly played at home on Satur-
day with Hainesport. There was an idea
that the game would be listless and unin-
teresting, but it proved otherwise. Mount
Holly won by the score of II to 5, and
there were many good features in the
game.
Mount Holly went to Medford yester-
day, and was defeated by the Medford
club in the morning and by umpire Custis
in the afternoon. In the morning game
the score was to 2 in favor of Medford.
In the afternoon up to the eighth inning
the score was to 0 in favor of Medford.
Goodbrod got to first in that inning and
Frost sent two-base hit which advanced
the former to third. Charley Peacock
went to bat and lifted a beauty to centre
field. 1t looked like winner, but Med
ford's left fielder made a remarkable run
and caught the ball with one hand right
off the fence. The hit was such beauty
that all had their eyes on the ball. the UNI
pire included. Goodbrod was off OF third
but when he saw the ball caught he ran
back and touched the base and then ran
home There was plenty of time for him
to do all this. But here Is where Schoe-
nuts value came in. AS THE News re-
marked last week, he is the most valuable
man on the team; where his hands do not
work his mind is particularly active. He
ran to umpire Custis and claimed that the
runner had not touched third base, and
Custis promptly sustained the claim and
decided Goodbrod out. This started a
discussion which ended in Mount Holly
refusing to continue the game, and the
score was decided to 0 in favor of
Medford.
When Gusts went in to umpire at
Mount Holly Saturday week, an admirer
said: ''There goes a man who never makes
mistake" This was certainly broad
assertion, for if it was true he would be
the only man of the kind living. Yester-
days acts, however, show that Custis is
human. Perhaps he had been taking too
much snapper soup, or possibly he might
have had visions of that $50 bet floating
in the air.
Some of the decisions of Gusts were
certainly rank. That where he declared
Peacock out at home he admitted he did
not see.
A large number of the spectators who
were backing Medford admitted the in
justice of the decision which kept Mount
Holly from tieing the score, if not from
winning the game, and there were de-
mands that something be done to allow
the game to proceed.
Schoenut was about down and out when
the rumpus occurred. Mount Holly had
secured six hits off his delivery, Medford
got two from Thorn.
There Is only one way to play games
where there is likelihood of intense feel
ing, and that is to have professional
umpire from out of town.

'Im goin' to de-" says the Wilder Greene,
"rin goin' to quit this airthly scene;
1t amt no place for me to stay
In such a world as It is to-day.
Such works and ways is too much for me,
Nobody can't let nobody be.
The girls is fiOunced from top to toe,
And that's the hull o. what they know.
The men is mad o. bonds an stocks,

To say chow be you? ~ or borry pin,
But what the paper ii have it in:
Were pleased to say the Wilder Greene

Or, tOur worthy friend Mrs Green's gone

Makes a Correction.

In an opinion recently given on the sub
iect Of election of members of County
Executive Committees, Assistant Attor
ney-G General Gaskill stated that the
county clerk would prepare the ballot.
This caused county clerk Sooy to make
inquiry whether this was really intended,
and he wrote Mr.. Gaskill, quoting the
law with reference to the preparation of
tickets, contending that the municipal
clerks must attend to that duty. In reply
Mr.. Gaskill sent the following:
Trenton, N. j., July l, 1909.
Watson T. Sooy, Esq,
Clerk of Burlington county:
Dear Sir-Answering your letter of
June Gath, beg to say that the statement
in my letter to which you refer, 1.-THE
county clerk will, of course, prepare the
ballot, is an error. The procedure should
be under chapter 278 of the laws of 1907,
requiring the clerk to certify to the
various municipal clerks the names of
candidates for county offices, and chapter
107 of the laws of 1909, requiring the
municipal clerks to prepare the primary
ballot. 1t is not my idea that there shall
be two sets of tickets for each party.
Very truly yours,
NELSON B. GAsKILL,
Assistant Attorney General.

Theatres.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
CANDIDA"

CANDIDA"
"Candida," one of Bernard Shaw's
cleverest comedies, and the play in which
Arnold DAILY scored his first triumph as
the exponent of Shavian drama, will be
presented by the Orpheum Players at the
Chestnut Street Theatre this week. The
play has been called by Mr. Shaw him
self pleasant psychologist comedy
and as such we must accept it. But to the
average theatregoer this means nothing
there is more than mere pleasantly" in
the comedy; there is rich food for thought
and for discussion Candida" is a play
that arouses the auditor to something
more than mere interest; what that some
thing is each person who witnesses the
comedy must say for himself. We do not
propose to give an outline or synopsis OF
the play. There are six characters in the
p1ay-Candida; her husband, the Rev.
James Mryor Morell; her father, NJ Bur
CESS; the minister's curate, the Rev. Alex
ander Mills; the minister's stenographer,
Miss Prosperine Garrett, and Eugene
Marchbank, a young poet. Candida is a
woman of 80. Her ways are those of a
woman who has found that she can al
ways manage people by engaging their
affection, and who does so frankly and in
stinctive1y without the smallest scruple.
In the Orpheum production of the play
George Parker will play the part of the
poet, originally played by Arnold DAILY.
Miss Leah Winslow will be seen as Can
dida, Peter Lang as the Rev. More1l, and
Robert Cummings as Burgess. The play
will be staged under the personal direc-
ton of Mr.. Percy Winter.

The Sewage Question.

On the eighth day of June the State
Board of Health and few residents of
Mount Holly discussed the subject of
disposing sewage. An agreement was
reached whereby those who empty their
sewage directly into the creek were to
sign paper which provided that those
property owners would connect their
premises with the sewer system of Mount
Holly as soon as 1t was completed. The
agreement was signed by nearly all who
were affected and it was forwarded to the
State Board. On Friday the local Board
of Health received the following letter:
TRENTON, June 80, 1909

June 8, 1909, by representatives from
Mount Holly. After the reading of said

The Postof1ce Department at Washing
ton, is preparing to issue new post card.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has called
In the expert chemists of the Department
of Agriculture and has instructed them to
work out formula that will give much
better paper than can be made under the
contract now In force. He says the postal
cards issued by this Government are in
ferior to the product of almost every
other country, and that 1t is contemplated
to make improvements in the general
style of printing and arrangement of the
type and designs. 1t may be decided to
change also the color of the ink and the
tint of the paper. The Government
issues 75,OO0,00O postal cards month.
The present four-Year contract expires
December 81 next, and In the meantime
the Postmaster General is giving personal
attention to devising more substantial
and ornate card.
! A citizen passing along Mill street at one
o'clock this morning discovered that an
annex to the building occupied by Patrick
Dolan as a cigar store and pool room was
on fire. The bell of the Relief was soon
sounding an alarm. The department re-
sponded quickly and kept the fire con-
fined to the one building, which was con-
siderably damaged. 1t was occupied by
! Theodore L. Hates as store room fol
furs, where he had 800 hides packed away.
They were valued at $3.50. All these furs
were stolen and the place was perhaps
set on fire to conceal the crime. A few
minutes before the flames broke out Mrs
Thomas B. Denness, whose husband owni
the building, saw two men In her bach
yard. From second-story window sh'
ask them what they were doing there
when one fellow replied: I'VE are trying
to find our way out" The robbery is be
ing investigated.
