Political Notes.

Petitions for placing names upon the
primary tickets are In circulation and are
being readily signed.
The present campaign will be good for
the automobile dealers. Some of the
prospective candidates have purchased
machines and others will hire them to
make whirlwind tour of the county.
Under the heading "Wise and other.
wise" the Burlington Enterprise publishes
some pithy sayings. Here is one of them;
Some people prefer to tell falsehood
even when the truth would answer their
purpose best"
Within the next week petitions will be
sent around for signatures with the idea OF
getting the proposition to abolish the
Board of Freeholders voted upon. Wonder
how many names will be secured In Bur
lington city
Alfred w. Lofiand announces his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination for
Sheriff. He has not said what his plat
form would be, but from his past per-
formances he would probably expect to
stir things up. His experience In the past
In dealing with those who do not agree
with him would probably be of great
benefit in disciplining unruly prisoners.
Carleton Haines, who was so positively
announced as candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for surrogate. has author
lied the statement that he will not be a
candidate this year. The story goes that
one who has recently become imbued with
the idea that he is destined to be the new
leader In the county's politics, kept the
telephone warm 10 telling Carleton that
this is your time to get in; now is your
chance, and then cody published an item
In which he said 1--WE looked to see him
placed in the position of being the logical
man to support five years hence" 1t did
not take Carleton long to see through this
move. He did not propose to be made q
monkey OF for the benefit of some other
fellow, and he refused to get in just for a
compliment.

A Ghastly Find.

John Davis, a colored man, while
on a hunt for blackberries, on Sunday
afternoon In the vicinity of the Sylvan
Lakes, made a CHASTITY find. While In
quest for the berries, and about hundred
yards from the largest lake, he found the
body of dead man reposing under the
overhanging branches of large tree. He
did not stop to investigate matters, but
hurried off and notified Richard Pew and
David Mcconnell, of South High street,
Burlington, who Immediately FASTENED to
the Braislin farm, from where the news
was telephoned to Mayor Farmer. Upon
receipt of the information funeral director
Earnest was notified to proceed to the
scene and take charge of the body This
was promptly done and the body taken
to Earnest's morgue.
Prior to the removal, the body was
identified as that of Charles Lippincott by
the clothing and also by q pay envelope
found in his pocket. The face of the I'M
fortunate man had been so badly eaten by
insects that it was totally unacceptable
and the flesh of the hands had also been
partially eaten away. The body was iden-
titled by sister and brother, who were
among the spectators that soon flocked to
the scene after the CHASTITY find was made
known.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
body, Coroner Rogers. of Bordentown.
was notified, who came to Burlington
viewed the remains and made out certii-
cate to the effect that Mr.. Lippincott had
died from heat exhaustion.
Mr.. Lippincott was formerly one of the
employees of the pipe foundry. but lately
left there to seek employment as farm
hand. He had been missing from his home
on the Mill Road since last Monday, but
ii was thought that his absence was caused
by his being at work for some farmer. II
is supposed that while walking through
Sylvan Lake woods he was overcome by
the heat and sought shelter under the tree
aud lapsed into the slumber that knows nj
awakening. He leaves a wife and two
children.

What are Officers For Z

! In another column THE News expresses
the opinion that it is the duty of the
Prosecutor Of the Pleas to proceed against
lawbreakers when he hears of violation
of the statute, and he is not privileged to
wait until complaint Is made. On the
same ground we hold that justice of the
peace is not justified in imposing small
sentence on man he knows has committed
crime.
Such case as this occurred on Satur
day night. Carl Norcross was taken be-
fore justice RIsdon and complaint was
entered against the man for hitting
another. Justice Risdon decided Il was
case of dIsorderly conduct, fined Norcross
81 80 and let him go. The Justice knew 1t
was a case of assault aud battery. He
says Norcross was brought before him by
a policeman, who told the facts in the case,
A man named Hoffman was accosted by
Norcross, who struck Hoffman without
any cause. The policeman interfered aud
took Norcross before the justice, and the
result stated followed.
Justice Risdon says that Hoffman de-
clined to enter complaint, and that he
could not do anything except fine the man
for disorderly conduct. He says he knew
an assault had been committed. but he did
not think he had the right to commit Nor
cross for court unless there was q COM
plant against him.
The case under consideration is not an
ordinary one. 1t seems to be the weekly
habit of this fellow Norcross TO get under
the influence of liquor, and he then wants
to fight some one, generally being careful
to pick out an opponent who is not likely
to resent his attack In like manner. Not
more than two weeks ago he stopped a
young man, and with an insulting remark
about the nationality of the latter an
nounced his determination to whip him.
Friends prevented blows being struck.
From all accounts the occurrence of Sat
urday night was an assault and battery
without propagation.
Justice Risdon admits that he is per-
fectlY aware of this fellows habits, and Is
very positive what he will do If Norcross
comes before him again. There is not
much doubt that he or some other justice
will have a chance to act, as the continued
leniency that has been shown this ''scrap-
per- has made him very bold. Imposing
q fine does not seem to have any effect in
cases of this kind. Several days In jail
might be beneficial

RIVERSIDE. Q; BEVERLY, Z.
NOTES


Gusts, the foghorn voice umpire, has
been given his release. The hot weather
was too much for him.
There is not cooler man In the league
than Silcox. Nothing ruffies him, and he
plays ball at all stages of the game.
The Continental Club, of Mount Holly
went to Smithville on Saturday, and de-
feated the team of that town. Score 9 to O.
Riverside's pitcher, Hubbs, did not APP
pear so formidable to Beverly on Saturday
as he did to Mount Holly on July 9Th.
He was hit hard by Beverly.
Williams retired IA on strikes Saturday.
OF these Orr was famed four times; Cash
man three times; Ballingall, Pfitzermayer
and Borden, two each; Silcox, one.
Pfitzermayer felt sick when he made the
error in the third inning. Yet he played
the star game at that. He made two fine
hits and scored one of the four runs.
Lentz was In evidence Saturday. He
got two passes, and two-base hit. He hit
the ball on two other occasions but there
happened to be fielder who caught 1t.
The attendance at the Medford ball
ground does not show much interest on the
part of the residents of Medford. In the
audience Of 300 on Saturday about 300
went from Mount Holly.
The feature of the Riverside Beverly
game on Saturday was a home run by
Homer, Riverside's third baseman, when
the bags were filed. Those four runs
won the game for Riverside.
There was no happier man Oh the Mount
holly team, Saturday, than catcher Hop
kins. He used to officiate for Medford,
consequently the hackers of that team
guyed him every time he went to bat
When Mount Holly won it was Hopkins
turn aud he took it.
The Mount Holly club is In urgent need
of money. and contributions are solicited.
The receipts at games played at home are
usually insufficient to pay expenses, and
when the team goes out OF town the loss
is quite heavy. The treasury Is now de-
pleted and the need Of funds is imperative.
OF course somebody is always to blame
for losing game and Medford put 1t on
their catcher. Nothing was said about
the pitcher who sent eight men down on
balls. The catcher was kept guessing all
the time and 1t was as much as he could
do to handle the balls sent him by the
pitcher who either misiudged signals or
had not proper control of the ball.
Orr was not of much account on Satur-
day He did not have a chance in the
field and struck out four times. This lat
ter record would not have been so bad had
1t not been that there were men on bases
each time and a hit would have been
very beneficial. Mount Holly had ten
men left, six of whom might have beeu
advanced by hit by Orr.
Burlington's pitcher on Saturday was
Hafford, of Trenton Tri-State team The
game is to be protested by Florence on
the ground that this is violation of the
County League rules. In the game on
July 9Th, Burlington had pitcher named
Geigen, also alleged to be under contract
In another league, and is now playing with
Rochester. That game is also to be pro-
tested.

Highway Robbery.

Arrested after desperately resisting the
efforts of Chief Of Police Linderman to
take him into custody stranger giving
the name of John Booden was committed
to the Camden county jail without bail by
Mavor Longstreth. of Merchantyille. on q
charge of attacking Miss Bertha K. Morris,
of Moorestown, on Thursday night
Miss Morris is daughter of the manager
Of Chestnut Farms, just outside of Moores
town. and was waiting for car, after
visiting Merchantville friends. when a
man suddenly grabbed her. tore her gold
watch from its clasp on her waist, and fed
Miss Morris was too frightened to scream
and boarded the car, which soon arrived
She phoned the facts to Chief Linderman
on her arrival at Moorestown.
Learning that man had sold watch
to negro the Chief soon got on his trail
and when Bo,den. as he calls himself, was
placed under arrest he showed fight He
proved to be pretty sturdy individual
and only submitted after being severely
punished. Miss Morris positively identi
fed the prisoner as her assailant.
Later Linderman found the stolen watcf
In the possession of a negro, who admitted
buying 1t from the prisoner.

Theatres.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
4NTnRRs


Next week the Orpheum Players at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,
will present Edward Paulton's popular
three-act farce comedy, ''Niobe." Going
back to mythology, we learn of "Niobe, /"
the queen and wife of Amphion, King of
Thebes, who because of her boastfulness
and enmity of the gods was, in their re-
venge, made to suffer the torture of
seeing her seven sons, daughters and hus-
band destroyed by an unseen hand of one
of the gods. Then 'Niobe'' was turned
to stone as a further punishment and an
example to others who might dare to
show like behavior.
jefferson Tompkins has recovered the
actual petrifcation of "Niobe' from one
of the Grecian ruins, and before making
visit away he decided to trust its safe
keeping to Peter Amos Dunn, home
loving body, who would and would like
to be happily living with his wife if not
for a mother-in-law. Mamma-in-l is
strictly keen for woman's rights and must
have an explanation for every move made
on the part of Peter Amos Dunn. Shortly
after ''Niobe" has been left in care Of
Peter, the family all 60 out to theatre
party, with the exception of Peter, who
stays at home because of bad headache
Peter is seated comfortably in his living
room, when before his very eyes stands
''Niobe," addressing him as husband
king; lord and MASTER On investiga-
ton Peter finds that electricians who are
doing work in the house have left ex-
posed wires tied about the feet of the
ssNiobe" statue, and this certain electrical
effect has brought her back to life, but
with a knowledge of things three thou
sand years back. With the mother in
| law in mind, Peter decides that the truth
would not be countenanced, so decides to
introduce "Niobe" as the new governess
until such a time when he can get her in
proper clothes and out of the house. This
story is working finely-when 'sNiobe,
in her gratitude for her restoration, buries
her head on Peters shoulder and weeps,
Just in time for his wife and mother-in-
law to see the whole business. Then, to
make matters worse, the real governess
arrived, Jefferson Tompkins comes to
take back his ''Niobe' statue. Complica-
ton after complication comes up, until
you wonder what next is possible, and it
is only after we have spent a most enjoy
able spell that the play comes to happy
fms. In the Cryheum production Mr..
Ingerso1l will be seen as Peter Amos
Dunn, and Miss Carolyn Gates will play
the role Of ''Niobe."
