ing of the prophesies of Isaiah by the hid
den choir of male voices gives an air of
mysticism to the play which never leaves
1t until the final curtain falls at the close
OF the sixth act. The wonderful Vision
OF the Star of Bethlehem, the vast ex-
Panse OF Desert at night, with the sleep
ing camels IN the foreground, the adora-
ton OF the Three Wise Men-a1l leave the
beholder in state of wonderment and
awe. The brisk action of the following
scenes scarcely dispe1s it when it is re.
peated in the beautiful a1lusion of the
Mother of Hur to the expected coming of
the Messiah. Again in the second act the
personality of the Nazarene is brought
more distinctly to the senses. Ben-Hur
is one of the slave oarsmen of the galley
ship. For three years he has been at the
oars, probably the most cruel and awful
task of that age. An accidental kind
word given him by the Tribune and he re-
calls his meeting with the Nazarene and
describes the youthful personality of the
Messiah. Again in the third act Ilderim
tells the news of the Birth at Bethlehem,
and in the succeeding act Balthzar, the
Egyptian, gives vivid picture of the Star
at Bethlehem, which he witnessed, as one
of the Three Wise Men summoned from
the three ends of the earth, as told in the
New Testament. The sixth act of ''Ben-
Hur" is devoted almost exclusively to the
spiritual Here the Nazarene's mission
OF peace is brought forward in the most
impressive setting until the climax is
reached at the scene upon the Mount of
Olives, where two great multitudes have
assembled to meet Him. They bear
palms, for it is just before Christs en-
trance into Jerusalem; the chorus of praise
and alteration almost fades away as the
mother and sister of Hur enter Cursed
with leprosy, most hideous of all diseases,
the crowd shrinks from them for fear of
contamination. A narrow pathway is left
open for the lepers, about half way up the
mountain side. Without warning there is
a burst of music; the crowds kneel and
face toward the mountain peak; shaft of
dazzling white light falls upon the faces
afflicted. 1t is unquestionably a most i'm
pressive moment, for the tremendous per
sonal1ty of the Nazarene is felt to be lust
beyond the line of vision. This is really
the most wonderful of all stage pictures
the kneeling multitude the light of
Divine Presence that has been seen bv
one only of the generations of men: the
music of alteration and the indication of
the nearness of the Messiah combina-
ton of effects such as has never been pre-
sented upon any stage. The Philadelphia
"Ben-Hur" season at the Forrest Thea
tire is limited to two weeks. Matinees are
announced for Wednesday and Saturday
of each week.

county would issue bonds to the amount Of
$3.50, 900 all would be happy.
A vote was then taken on the bond pro
positions Mr.. Warrack's idea of $3.50, 00C
was knocked out by the vote of 10 to 8.
Then Mr.. Donnelly's motion for 800, 00C
was killed-21 to 2. Mr. Joyce's propo-
sition evidently got chills, for it did not
come to the surface again.
Mr.. Hilton then offered resolution that
no stone roads be built during the present
year. This brought on another discussion,
but the resolution was adopted by the
vote of 10 to II.
Mr.. Smith asked for instructions on two
bills for animals injured in Pemberton
township through alleged defections in the
county roads. Both bills were laid on
the table.
By this time the members felt they had
put in strenuous day and that it was
time to go home, which caused look of
relief to gain Judgment on the faces of
the Director and Clerk, and motion to
adjourn was quickly passed.

town and Florence was of more import
ance and should be given first considera-
ton.
This pleased Mr.. Donnelly and he of
fered a motion that the county issue bonds
in the sum of 100000, Mr.. Warrack
promptly amending to make the amount
$3.50, 900.
Mr.. Hilton laughed at this proposition
which he denounced as preposterous.
The HillerY law was plain enough for
any one to read and understand, and un-
der its provisions it would be impossible
to raise money for stone roads this year.
There was no doubt that certain roads
had been approved, but what difference
would that make if there was no money
available to build them2 Suppose a
bond issue was carried, where was the
money to come from to pay the interest
with? 1t may be that the county will
have to borrow money to pay actual ex-
penses before the year has expired.
Mr.. Warrack was in accord with most
of the ideas advanced by Mr. Hilton, but
he did not think there was any necessity
to be scared. New roads are needed and
it would be just as we'll if the coming
generations were allowed to pay for some
thing they would have the benefit of.
Mr.. Donnelly was especially interested
in the road between Bordentown and Flor
ence and he felt that it must be built, and
the sooner the Board understood that stu
alton the better it would be. He called
attention to the amount of taxes paid by
his township and the very small consider
| alton received from the county. A mile
of stone road was very little to ask anC
when it was remembered how other local
tiles had been favored to a much larger
extent he thought the members would
consider his request as reasonable.
Mr.. Jordan sympathized with the mem
Der from Florence, but as sympathy would
not build stone roads and as the count,
treasury is not overlooking with money b.
could not see any substantial help tina
could be extended at present.
Mr.. Etheridge, who has a road on tn
map, expressed the idea that it would b
more beneficial If less was put on repair
and more on new roads.
Mr.. Joyce then gained the floor an
called attention to the fact that he had
road or two that would be of great benef

Reply From Brady Paper
(Weiser American. }

The Idaho Falls Sunday Post takes THE AMERICAN task

land board Then the they tell editorial how
rampant graft is in the following words
1t now appears that Secretary of State Lansdon Superntend

the public will be turned toward who ambitious be

In less than week after suggested that the land board
should be investigated the entire state of charges of graft
and these charges were made by Brady himself
If thorough investigation will prove the governors sincerity
the performance of duty and innocence of wrongs perperated then
THE AMERICAN will be the first to tell the public of that fact
But investigation show that he has kept informed of the
