FOLLOWING the usual gathering of poll
ticians at Trenton, on Tuesday, came the
statement that Senator Lewis, of this
county, had expressed himself on the SUBJ
ject of being candidate for the position
of member of Congress from the Second
District According to the published re,
ports Senator Lewis said he will be can
didate two years hence, but does not in
tend to make contest now. If anything
should occur whereby 1t was made evident
that change must take place in the per-
sonnet of the representative this year,
Mr.. Lewis will be in the field. He feels
that Burlington county is entitled to have
the candidate when the present incum-
bent decides to step down. In the posi-
ton he has taken Mr.. Lewis has given
publicity to what he has confided to
friends long since. While he frankly ad.
mits he would like to have the seat in the
legislative hall at Washington, he is not
so anxious for the honor as to create 9
contest when one is unnecessary. He has
two years to serve in the state senate and
he feels that the people of the county
have some claim on him in that direction

Big Circus at Philadelphia.

The Forepaugh and Sells Bros Big
United Shows will, during the week Of
May 80, give two performances daily at
4oth and Parkside avenue, Philadelphia.
Not since the beginning of time has an
amusement enterprise so tremendous in
size been organized as this one. Its mag
nitude is almost beyond belief. 1t comes
this year after an absence of several sea-
sons, with a complete new equipment
from start to finish. 1t cost the manage
ment So, 100000 Every corner of the
earth has been searched by the foreign
agents of the show for novelties. The re-
suit is performance brim full of sensa-
tional acts, the largest and the only COM
plete ZOO in America and a three-mile
parade. This parade is veritab1e worlds
fair and panoramic history of the earth
from the days before the food up to the
last tick of the clock.
This great circus is fifty years old. 1t
has always stood at the top among all the
amusement enterprises of the world
This year it returns bigger, better and
more attractive than ever. On its list of
| performers there are $50 names. These
great stars have been gathered from
European arenas. Among them are the
three Tybel1 sisters, who present a
Human Butterfly aerial spectacle
which electrified all Europe last winter;
Karl Handley and his company of Ger
man acrobats; Paul Alvarez, of Spain, the
greatest head balancer on earth: the
Avalons from England, the best of all
high-wire artists; Capt. Webb and his two
troupes of trained seals; Nellie WEIGH, of
Australia, the only woman double somer-
sault equestrian in the world; Ada Bell
Edwards, the worlds strongest woman,
and the wonderful Alvo family of aerialists
from Italy. The greatest trained animal
act In all history is presented by sixty-one
horses. They appear at one time in one
| ring. There are also the fifteen best edu-
| Gated elephants on earth. They perform
in company with three companies of
trained dogs.
animals. Scarcely one of them has ever
been seen in this country before. The
menagerie alone represents an expenditure
of a million dollars in money. When it
comes to the street parade description is
impossible. The great free pageant must
be seen to be appreciated. It is natural
to expect this circus, above all others, to
present the best open-air spectacle. Never
in its splendid history has it displayed
such extravaganza as it shows this year.
The organization now numbers 1000
employees and has 600 horses. 1t travels
on train over a mile in length This
train is divided into several sections
When under canvas the show covers ten
acres OF ground. Its many tents and the
grounds are lighted with 1000 incandes-
cent lamps and arc lights. The circus
carries its own lighting plant.
The greatest holiday of a lifetime is
near at hand. Without a doubt many
from Philadelphia and its vicinity will see
the newly organized Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Bros. shows.
The show will be at Camden, Monday,

Two juries at the present term of court
have been compelled to remain out all
night and the accommodations for such
an event are very poor. at every session
OF the Board of Freeholders there is a bill
for expenditures at the court house and
surroundings grounds and buildings
amounting anywhere from 800 to 81, 900.
Why would it not be good idea to invest
sum of money in cots and coverings fol-
those jurors who desire to rest9 The
argument that has been advanced against
this proposition Is that cots were purchased
once and that jury got gay one night and
broke them up. That could be easily
stopped and the juror who committed
such an act would be punished by the
court. 1t might be stated that the cots
referred to were of cheap grade and
there was no economy In that purchase
The jurors are entitled to some comforts
and should not be compelled to remain
out all night without having chance to
get needed rest.

the name of United States Marshal Thomas
j. Alcott was sent to the Senate last week
and Mr.. Alcott will serve another term in
the Office ne has held for long time. The
only objection that was presented against
the Marshal succeeding himself was that
the Attorney General thought he was
too Old" That was such a nonsensical
reason that there really has never been
any apprehension that there would be q
change in the office. The manner in which
the Marshal's Office has been conducted
has brought him praise and the opinion
prevails that If Mr.. Alcott is ''aged" and
conducts his Office as he does 1t would be
well If more 'old men" were put In SINH.

All of this demonstrates the resourceful-

OF the pet plans of two of the most astute

IT Is NOT infrequently the case that SEN
ator Kean, of New Jersey, gets into The
Congressional Record without saying a
word, and the appearance of his name
there adds to the interest of that standard
publication.
An instance of this kind Is recorded In
the debate some time ago upon the Lodge
bill to investigate the cost of living. One
of the speakers on that bit of legislation
was Senator Stone, of Missouri, and .'Gum
Shoe Bill" told some facts that show New
Jerseys senior Senator is by no means a
fgurehead In the greatest deliberative
body in the world.
When Senator Elkins, of West Virginia.
offered resolution for an investigation of
living cost it was promptly referred to the
Committee to Audit and Control the Con-
tingent Expenses of the Senate. Then
what happened is told in the words of the
Senator from Missouri:
That august committee is presided over
by our amiable and distinguished friend,
the Senator from New Jersey Mr. Kean.
I said it Is the committee over which he
presides, but as a matter of fact. he Is the
whole committee. daughter l have
been told by Senators, whose names appear
In the Congressional Directory as nominal
members of that committee, that the COM
mittee has not been called in session, nor
had meeting for time so remote that
the oldest member of this body Is unable
to recall when it was. (Laughter.)
He (Mr. Elkins) persistently
pressed upon the Senator from New Jer-
sey the duty and obligation of reporting
1t. He did that here In the open Senate
time and again, and did it elsewhere and
in other ways.
But he was unable to accelerate the slow
and stately movement of the Senator from
New Jersey. Still his vehement insis-
tence, oft repeated, In which he complained
of his discourtesy to him, and frequently
showed symptoms of angry impotence,
began finally to challenge general atten-
ton. 1t became evident that something
had to be done with the resolution.
Then Mr.. Stone relates how Mr.. Lodge
made his famous speech to prove that the
tariff had nothing to do with the high cost
of living, and followed 1t up with the in
production of q resolution much on the
same line as proposed by the Senator from
West Virginia.
Under the rules, and on suggestion, the
resolution was then sent to the committee
composed of the Senator from New Jer-
sey. Oaughter.)
Promptly, with some slight modifca-
tions, made at committee meeting held !
by the Senator from New Jersey, the reso-
luton was reported to the Senate, with |
recommendation that 1t pass. - . After
due diplomatic negotiations a compromise
was affected, and 1t was finally agreed that
the Senator from West Virginia should be
offered the Craftsmanship of the committee
