Hearing on Local Option.

The Burlington County Local Option
League has presented petition to our
members of the Legislature requesting q
hearing on Senate bill No. 113, the Geb-
hardt Local Option measure. The date
for the hearing is to be fixed by the Sena-
tor and Assemblymen, and Saturday,
March Is, at 100 o'clock, has been sug-
gested as the time. Changers Hall, Bur-
lington, the place.
This is not simply Burlington county
movement, but similar meetings are to be
held all over the. state, and 1t is not In
tended that the hearing shall be a one
sided affair. Everybody is invited to be
present and express views on the subject.
Leading local option people will be pres
ent and invitations will be extended to the
State Liquor Dealers Protective Associa-
ton to send representatives to speak from
the standpoint Of the liquor men. The
idea Is to have free and full discussion
upon the proposed legislation and to hear
all sides Of the question.

Rev. F. L. Jewett has been serving Pal
myra three years and has been invited to
the church at Bordentown. Rev. Samuel
Sargent, of Clayton, will likely go to Pal
mYra. Rev. G. s. Meseroll will leave
Glassboro, and he may be followed by
Rev. ]. w. Nicholson, of Calvary, Key
port, who was invited there three years
ago, but was sent to Keyport instead
Rev. H. s. Gascoyne will leave Salem,
Pleasantyille, and Rev. G.. w. Abel is
likely to leave English Greek. Both
churches In Pennsgrove will make a
change in pastors.
Several changes will take place In Cam
den and vicinity. The Eighth Street church
will lose Rev. D. E. Clair and Rev. G. E..
Archer will leave Trinity, while a new
minister will be sent to Audubon In place
of Rev. w. w. Bruere. Haddon Heights
will lose Rev. d. E. Van bright, and Rev.
]. L. Roe may leave Gloucester
There is talk of Rev. Steadman Apple
gate leaving Second church, Asbury Park,
and 1t is more than likely Rev. ]. G. Kulp
will ask to be changed from Spring Lake
to another field Of labor Rev. Thomas
Huss will leave the Highlands and Rev.
l. s. Yerks will go from Hightstown to
Calvary, Keyport.
There will be no changes In New Bruins
wick, nor will there be any In Atlantic
City. In the Trenton district there are
some men who have stayed the longest of
any men in the conference in the churches
they are now serving.

Methodist Conference

The annual conference of the M. E.
church will be held in Ocean City, begin
ming on Wednesday OF next week. As
usual there is much discussion on the
question of placing ministers. This hap
pens every year. Sometimes the predic-
tions are correct, sometimes otherwise.
We give some of them.
Perhaps seldom In the history of the con-
ference has there been a more crowded
ondition. The Rev. DR.. J. Morgan Read,
who recently resigned the presidency of
Pennington Seminary, and the Rev. ]. B.
Haines, who last week resigned the vice
presidency of the seminary, will both re-
turn to the pastorste, and the change in
the presidency of Dickinson College,
caused by the resignation of the Rev. DIR.
George Edward Reed, will probably re-
suit in change in administrative policy
at the college. and may result in return
ing the Rev. w. A. Hunsberger, who is
assistant to the president of Dickinson, to
the passionate. All three of these men left
excellent churches when they entered up
on their educational work, and their re-
turn to the passionate will cause crowding
at the top.
Three deaths have taken place among
the members of the Conference during the
year Shortly after Conference adjourned
last year the Rev. 8. E. Post, the senior
member, died, and then Rev. j. R. Thomp-
son and Rev. Edwin Waters passed away.
But all three of these men were on the
supernumerary list, and therefore did not
leave any church without pastor.
The Rev. 81. A. Sloan, however, who is
now pastor of the NJ. E. church at South
River, will be transferred to the New York
Conference and made an assistant to the
Rev. John Wesley Hill at the Metropolitan
Temple, and Rev. s. W. Gistriel, of Island
Heights, will be appointed to the faculty
at Pennington Seminary, and Rev. Ed
mund Hewitt. now pastor of St. Paul
Church, Trenton, will retire. But as these
appointments are not among the first in
the Conference, these changes will make
only a partial basis from which the Bishop
and his cabinet will be able to effect the
necessary changes.
To further complicate matters none of
the large churches expect TO make change |
in their pastors, and consequently there
will be no changes made among them with |
out objection. While many of the men in
the smaller appointments viii move, very
few of them have been invited elsewhere,
due to the fact that both men and churches
are afraid to make change with coDdi-
lions crowded as they are. y

TUESDAY, MARCH Z, 1911

WHAT was expected to be q long and
interesting hearing in the charges made
against the Board of Freeholders by A.
w. Lohand and his thirty signers to a
petition asking the court to look into the
matter, came to an abrupt close on 6atur-
day, at New Brunswick, when Justice
Voorhees, merely heard argument and
then reserved his decision. A number of
citizens of the county went to New
Brunswick with the expectation of being
called upon to testify, but the Justice de-
cided he did not care to hear any evidence
at that time. Mr.. Lof1and was not on
hand. He has either lost interest or has
come to the conclusion that he has not
much show in the matter, for, while he
was In town the day the Freeholders met
he did not go to the meeting to protect
the interests Of his township or of the
county, and he did not go to the Satur-
day hearing. The excuse of ''star
chamber" proceeding would not work 10
the latter instance, for it was an open
meeting at which his lawyer was on hand,
and If the Justice mad not decided other
wise, witnesses, including his lone female
testifer, would have been publicly heard.
What the outcome Of all this stirring up
will amount to rests with Justice Voor-
bees, but 1t seems sure that the report Of
the committee that Investigated the affairs
at the asylum, although not satisfactory
to MIR. Lodand, win stand; as the Judge
said he did not want to hear any testimony
on that point, and intimated that he was
not interested in anything except the
illegal Expenditure of money. and the
question whether the members of the
Board Of Freeholders had violated the
law by exceeding their appropriations.

Theatres.
GARR1cK THEATRE

The tremendous success recorded by
''The Fortune Hunter" which began its
seventh week at the Garrick Theatre,
Philadelphia, last night, justifes the pre-.
d1ctions that were made for its run in
Philadelphia. With John Barrymore in
the title role and an admirable support
ing company, the play affords an enter
tainment which carries with it pathos.
humor and dro1l situations that fit snugly
togt Their throughout. The story of the
city youth who could not earn his living
when thrown on his own resources and
who is sent into the small country town
to win the local heiress through his con.
trasting city airs, education and appear
ance, from the country SWANS who have
been left in town, is one of logical sequence
and plausible theory. Nat Duncan, the
fortune hunter, does all the theory of his
chum predicted. He wins the bankers
daughter and leads her to propose mar
rage to him. But in the working out of
the scheme he develops latent business
ability that incites an interest not only in
lis rehabilitation of the old WORKOUT
drug store, which he makes "the finest in
the state, but also in his life and rural
surroundings. He finds a love for the
druggists daughter that makes him de
into when he was ''down-and-out' and his
salvation is worked out by that love and
the rules" by which he had lived. As
Nat Duncan, John Barrymore has the best
part he has ever had. His personality is
given full scope and he makes a natural
and attractive reality of the title charac-
ter. The kindly old village druggist is
another fine impersonation by Forrest
Robinson, who has been known here in
many other similar types Others of the
original New York cast in the supporting
company are Mary Ryan, the druggists
daughter; Eda Bruna, the village heiress;
Kathryn Marshall, her chum; Charles
Fisher, the grabbed crusty, old banker;
John c. Brownell, the drink sodden, wife
fearing sheriff; Edgar Nelson, a typical
country lout; Sydney Ainsworth, the
hashily- dressed village boy, and H. Eric
Jewett, the blase city youth, all lend their
best endeavors towards making the char
acters they assume live and have actual
being in this play, which is undeniably
one of the finest offerings of the present
season.

Masked Man in Lewistown Narrows Robbery
Uncovered by Detectives.
1t is an almost startling development
that in delving for the facts of a great
mystery the solution of it should be
found. Such is the striking feature of
work undertaken in preparing for publ
cation the story of "The Lone Bandit of
Lewistown Narrows," which will appear
in the magazine section of next Sundays
North american
Two years ago lone and unknown BAN
dit startled the country by holding up and
robbing one of the fastest express trains
on the Pennsylvania Railroad in "The
Narr ows," near Lewistown The very
audacity of the performance stamped the
robbery as one of the unique crimes of
the age. From the day it was committed
the criminal was mystery until after the
original manuscript story of the crime
was prepared for publication in the North
AMerican. It was in checking up the in
cidents that inquiries were inspired the
answering of which furnished the solution.
The story of the robbery is retold in
fascinating style in the Sunday NORTH
american article, and the solution that
goes with it is also furnished.
Because of the state wide and country
wide interest in the solution of the great
crime mystery, the demand for the North
american will undoubtedly be enormous
Those who desire to read it should order
the paper well in advance of Sunday.
