CAPT. SWAN Is
0NRETIRED LIST
Aged Bridgetender at High
lands Has Record.
Special to the EVENING anws.

Highlands, Nov. 8:-Captain
Jacob Swan, who has been tender
of the d~rawbridge at the High
lands for the past thirty years, has
retired on a pension given him by
the Central railroad of New Jersey.
Captain Swan during his time az
bridge tender, has been as much a
part of the Highlands, as the IA
nous Irwin Lights" on the hill and
he is known by hundreds of Jersey
coast summer residents.
Captain Swan is sixty-seven years
old and weighs over two hundred
pounds, but to look at him, one
would not take him to be more than
in the ffties. He credits his good
health to hard work.
During his time as bridge tender
he has saved nine persons from
drowning and has had many hand
to-hand conflicts with men bent on
doing mischief to the bridge or to
the boats achored near the bridge.
For all the lives he has saved and
all the good he has accomplished,
he has been awarded for his kind
ness but once. One day when he had
the bridge swung half open for a
passing boat. a New York doctor
drove UP to the bridge and asked
the captain to close the bridge so as
to enable him to catch a train. Cap
tain Swan accommodated the doctor
and he caught his train. A few
weeks later the captains wife and
daughter were taken seriously Ill.
All local doctors had given up hope
for their recovery. When the New
York doctor heard OF the captains
bereavement, he went to his aid
and hired q trained nurse and doc
tored the sick ones back to health
again. When the captain asked the
doctor for his bill, the doctor replied
stYour kindness to me when you
opened the bridge for me will pay
the bill"
In all the thirty years Of hard
labor as bridge tender, Captain
Swan has had but n weeks yaca-

CLEVER PLAY
At The BIJ0U
Usual Attraction at This
Popular Playhouse.

Notwithstanding the extremely
inclement weather the Bfjou was
filled nearly capacity Monday night
when John H. Stevens, well known
play of southern life, was the at
traction. The play was very well
presented, the scenic and light eff
fects being particularly good.
There is nothing the ultra sensa-
tional about the play, but it abounds
In passionate interest wildly depict
ing the actions of real flesh and
blood people.
Pictures of Miss Corda Davy were
given and as she came upon the first
cen she received q hearty recep-
ton. Her part, while not heavy, was
made quite prominent by her clever
work. Miss Halter in the leading
part, both looked handsome and did
some very good acting of the emo
tional type, demonstrating that she
is equally clever in comedy or
pathos. Marie Harcourt eonvulsed
the audience with her comedy work
and grotesque dresses. After her
appearance In the third act it was
fully three minutes before a word
could be spoken. Mr.. Waters also
contributed much to the comedy by
his rendition of the eccentric French
Doctor
Mr.. Wayne Campbell played the
comedy part of Barney and got
plenty of fun out of it. Mr.. La Sale
was again the bad man, who sought
to run away with his friends wife,
and as usual he made the part eff
fective. Mr.. Petit, as Edward, the
leading part played it very accepta-
bly,, as did Mr.. Hartford in a small
negro part.
Mr.. Miller played a mulatto heavy
part and very ably depicted the re-
yengeful spirit and deceit of a man
whose slave wife had been taken
from him and sold. He thinks 1t

ored suits and street dresses. Fancy
vests of brilliant brocades, or of Pekin

some of the best models. In fact the
use of cotton and silk dresses is a
