american has engaged Herman B. Walk
er as special correspondent.
Mr.. Walker Is the best known newspa-
per man in New Jersey. He has been for
many years a special correspondent at

is contributor to progressive magazines,
lecturer on political subjects, leader
in the New Idea movement, and he was
the organizer of the New Jersey peoples

Attacked hu Nerro

While her mother awaited her on the
floor aboYe and pedestrians on the princi-
pal business thoroughfare were not fifteen
feet distant, Miss Edith Mitchell, 90 years
old, Of Burlington, was attacked by q
negro, gagged, chloroformed and robbed
late Saturday night and her assailant
escaped.
Harry B. Perkins, night Waterman,
stumbled over the unconscious form of
the young woman when he was making
his rounds at midnight, and but for this
relief, physicians say, she would have died
of suffocation.
Although the crime was of nature to
arouse the entire county, less than a score
of persons in Burlington, outside of police
circles. knew Of the robbery on Sunday,
owing to policy of secrecy that County
Detective Ellis Parker, in charge of the
case, is enforcing.
Miss Mitchell is chief clerk In the ladies
department of the shoe store of George w.
Anthony, at High and Union streets, Bur
lington. Her family occupied apartments
over the store. The store was closed at
10 80 O'Clock, the days receipts turned
over to Mr.. Anthony and the lights ex-
tinguished A few minutes later, Miss
Mitchell crossed the street to make pur-
chase for her mother. When she returned
negro was on the store steps. He said
he wanted pair of babies shoes and was
In hurry to catch the next trolley.
Willing to oblige customer and with
no thought Of danger, as late crowds were
on the street outside, the young woman
entered the store. AS she made a move
to strike match, she found herself look
ing into the barrel OF revolver.
Make a move and I'll kill you," Kissed
the negro. She struggled to make escape
and the brute felled her by a blow with
the butt of his revolver.
Then he drew the window curtain to
hide his actions from passersby while she
lay unconscious. He stuffed her mouth
with cotton gag and knotted handker-
chief about her neck in an effort to
strangle her. Then chloroform was APP
piled.
In this condition Watchman Perkins
found Miss Mitchell. He thought she was
dead and summoned Henry Firth, of the
firm of Wilson and Firth, grocers, whose
store adioins. The woman was revived by
the heroic work Of physicians. Then she
told her story or as much as she could re-
member. The negro had stolen her
pocketbook containing So and smashed
the cash register, which was empty.
About fifteen people from Mount Holly
waiting for trolley car were standing q
few feet from the store during the commits
sion of the crime, but they had no idea
what was going on.

BROAD STREET THEArRE

Last evening at the Broad Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, Charles Frohman,
presented William H. Crane in George
AIDES latest comedy ''U. S. Minister
Bebloe, :" the engagement will be for two
weeks only, with matinees on Wednesday
and Saturday. The new piece comes here
after a long successful engagement in
Chicago. 'U. S. Minister Bedloe" is said
to be superior in every way to Mr.. AIDES
'Father and the Boys" which served
Mr.. Crane as a starring vehicle for seve-
raj seasons. Colonel Jackson Bedole-
that is the name of the character Mr..
Crane assumes in this piece-is the owner
and editor of newspaper in small town
somewhere in the United States. AS a
reward for long and valuable service,
his party has given him an appointment
as Minister to Caribay, republic some
where to the South The Colonel has
accepted the honor, partly because he
wants rest at the pub1ic's expense, and
partly because he doesn't know what he
is "going up against" and partly because
his wife, who has taken travel course in
the Chautauqua, wants to visit foreign
parts. When he arrives at his post, Carl
bay is smouldered and the Colonel, being
hustling American, is bored to death
The annual instruction comes along in
due course, however, and the Colonel
finds 1t isn't such slow place after all.
To complicate the situation, a youthful
friend of his gets mixed up in the rebel
lion as f1ibuster and stands avery good
chance Of being stood up against a wall
and shot. How to remain neutral, as a
good American ought, and at the same
time rescue his young friend that is the
problem that confronts the Colonel and
Mr.. AIDE shows in his play how he solves
it. Mr.. Crane has played the politician
before. Once upon time he was a
United States Senator-on the stage
That was one of the most successful and
best remembered roles, too. Consequent
| ly the part of U. S. Minister Bedole ought
to fit him like the proverbial glove. And
George AIDE may be trusted to have pro-
vided some amusing situations and much
up-to-date and expressive slang Charles
Frohman, who has produced the play, has
taken care of the company and it is an
exceptionally strong one-including Mrs.
Thomas Whiffen, as the Colonel's wife;
Miss Millicent Evans Dan Co1lyer-who
made one of the big hits in Father and
the Boys as editor turned Secretary of
legation Massen, Henry Miller,
| Jr., Harrison Ford, Macy Harlan, E. H.
Kelley and Carl Sauerman. Most of the
scenes are laid in the tropics and are
picturesque enough for one or Mr.. AIDES
most successful musical p1avs

ed by the Orpheum Players, at the Chest

romantic story and deals in most origin
al manner with the several conditions of
loves course, as seen by the author Henry
Hamilton: the Sowing" the ''Ripen-
ing" and Loves Harvest" Noel Mus
grave falls i'll on hunting expedition and
is carried to the humble home of an old
trapper and his daughter. The daughter
nurses Noel back to health, and with the
usual results-a pretty, sweet girl-a love
affair. For fear of displeasing his uncle,
Sir David, Noel takes the girl to a hunt
ing bungalow near Withheld, and without
parson or ceremony, but in the presence
OF witnesses they pronounce their inten-
tons to live as man and wife, which is
sufficient according to the law of Scot
land Some years after the honeymoon
has waned, Noel finds the secret harder
each day to keep from his Uncle, who is
trying to bring about marriage with
Mrs. Vane, a rich widow. Noel learns
that Withiel is across the border line and
in England, which invalidates his mar
rage VOWS. It is late to take action as he
and Brenda have a little boy five years
old. However, in his fear and misery,
Noel decides to abide by his Uncle's
decision and tells Brenda of his intentions.
She of course is heartbroken, and her
love Immediately turns to a temporary
hate. She scorns Noel with bitter words,
and claims the right of the child as his
mistress, and refuses his promised offer of
pecuniary recompose. She also informs
him that this action on his part is only
the Sowing" and that she will in time
reap the harvest of her love. 1t is twenty
years before her words are realized, and
it is on this afternoon that the general
action in this play swings. How it is
brought about is best left untold, but Gull
mination is reached in a most interesting
and satisfactory manner. The full
strength of the Orpheum Company is
called for in the presentation of this beau
tiful play, and the scenery will be as
elaborate as the able scenic artist and
Master Mechanic can produce There
will be the usual daily matinee.
