suasive power and it was admirably DOT trayed last night
 Miss Tllen played with rare womanly sweetness and a verisimilitude of love and sacrifice that made a deep impress sion. She made Sister Giovanni one of the most appealing characters she has ever presented in Birmingham. It is needless to say that Mr. ONeill fulfilled every requirement of his stately yet sympathetic role of Monsignore Sara cinesca. Henry Stanford as Captain Gio- vanni Severi, the man who fights for the white sister and loses, played with splendid virility and an earnestness that carried conviction. Minna Gale presented relentless. vengeful, disappointed wom- an in the Countess Chiaramonte with the skill of finished artist, while Ed win Brandt as Lieutenant Basil and Fanny Addison Pitt as Madame Bernard were capable and humorous to just the right degree. 8tt

.A Mi.i.ter,s sweetheartn

"A Ministers Sweetheart, as given at the Bijou last night was deserving of creditabIe mention in most of its details. The audience was not sparing in its ap- plause and every member of the cast received due attention.
 The general interest of the play, which is typical of New England, is in the love of a young minister for village school teacher. The young lady has borne the brunt of an adverse fortune and her troubles involve many complications in which her good name Is at stake. When all her other friends have doubted her and turned from her. the young minister remains loyal and f1nally succeeds in es- tablishing her good character and ter minating all the difficulties which have caused her unhappiness
 The play offers many opportunities for good acting as there are number of good dramatic situations, where there is need of feeling and effort on the part ot the actor. However, the seriousness oi the whole is set of most happily by any number of comic scenes. in which the humor strikes delightfully human vein.
 It is hardly fair to say that there were any whose acting was more deserving ol mention than that of others. Miss Edith Gray made charming little schoolgirl whose spirit of fun especially adapted her to play the part os Polly Bell th'

w. Valentine, of Woodbridge, has
lust been named as administrator of
the estate of Sophie Harmed, who
died at Woodbridge nearly sixty
made so that the Woodbridge M. E.
church can receive $500 from the
estate of Mrs. Harmed.
The record shows that Mrs. Har-
ned died on January Is, 1852, and
that she left a will of which Jona-
than Harmed and Aaron Bloodgood
were the executors. The will pro-
vided that after the specific requests
had been paid the balance of the es-
tate should go to the Woodbridge
M. E. church. A balance was paid
to the church and the estate closed.
Recently the church learned that
there was a bank account In a New
York bank, in the name of Mrs.
Harmed amounting to about $500. In
order to get the amount 1t was neces-
sary to have an administrator ap-
pointed for the estate, as the execu-
tors are dead.
The church being the only inter
ested party, it has the right to nomi-
nate the executor and it named Ed
win w. Valentine, the president of
the Board of Trustees.
The Bank has sent here for the
original will, to compare the sigma
ture of Mrs. Harmed on it with her
signature on file at the bank, to
make sure that the money belongs to
her estate. The request vas forward
ed to Trenton, where all wills are
kept on file at the Office of the Sec
rotary OF the State.

TO AGREE ON
KIND OF PAVEMENT
Epecfal to the EYBNING NEWs.

New Brunswick, June 30:-At a
conference held at the court house
yesterday afternoon between the
Board of Freeholders, Mayor Vol
kert, Councilmen Deinzer and Van
Marter, of Highland Park, and
Colonel Gilnour, Of the Public Ser
vice Street Railway Company, no
conclusion was reached by these
officials regarding the kind of a pave
ment to be laid on Rar1tan avenue,
Highland Park. The purpose of the
meeting was to ascertain what was
the best kind of a pavement to be
laid there. The borough council will
hold a meeting on July-13, at which
time the matter of paving the venue
will come up. 1t is expected that at
this meeting the council will select
the kind of a pavement that it wants
and report back to the freeholders.
The expense for the paving is to
be borne by the borough and county.
Just what amount each is to pay Is a
matter which will also be determined
upon later.
Wants Durable Pavement.
Director Hendricks, of the Board
of Freeholders, thought there should
be a good durable pavement there
owing to the fact that there is con
siderable traffic over the road. The
question of paving between the rails
came up at a conference held some
time ago between the board and
Colonel Gilmour, when the Public
Service agreed to place between the
tracks the same pavement laid in the
other part of the road.
Borough and Franchise.
1t was brought up that the Public
Service had made application for the
extension of its tracks from Third
avenue to the folks of the road, and
the borough council has not done
anything in the matter as yet. The
council requested the company to
guarantee them certain things before
the franchise. was granted, but it is
understood that the company will
not grant all that the borough asked.
The Company Willing.
Colonel Gilmour said his company
was willing to do what was right In
the matter. The company would re-
build the road from Albany street
bridge to the switch. The material
for this work had been ordered, and
he thought the work would start very
shortly. The present paving road
has been down for about twelve
years although during that time ii
has been repaired to a considerable
extent.
1t was also brought out that the
state commissioner of roads had sug.
gested the cutting down of the hill
on Raritan venue about four feet.
Mayor Volkert said that the matter
would be brought up at the next
meeting Of the borough council. He
is much interested in seeing thai
this improvement Is made.
