rownship Committee Organizes.

The new township committee met yes
terdaY afternoon and organized by elect
| ing the following: Chairman. William II.
Mason; treasurer, Beverley C. Kingdom;
counsel, V. Claude Palmer, who had OPP
position in the person of Henry a. Savage.
Committee on roads, Harry Hawkins, ST..
| light, s. Earl Assay, who won out In con-
test with T. Walter Borton, the latter
nominating MIR. Assay; superintendent of
police, Charles c. Morton; sewers, fire
plugs and flush tanks, T. Walter Borton.
No engineer was appointed. The candi-
dates were John w. Harris and Henry j.
Sherman. A resolution was passed re-
questing Mr.. Sherman, the present incum-
bent, to complete his unfinished work of
1910
The bond of s., 900, presented by Bever-
ley G. Kingdom, was accepted.
The following is list of the candidates
for police: George H. Branson, William
81. Crimson, John s. Bozarth, Job Collins,
G. Howard Curtis, John L. Severns, Allen
8. Easlick, j. Wilbur Emmons, Henry G.
Hall, Charles E. Hooper, Edward Prince
Charles Solomon.
On the first ballot Collins, Curtis and
Hall received the entire vote of the COM
mittee and were declared elected. On the
second ballot SeYerns received three votes;
Branson, /; Prince. 1. This elected
Severns and dropped Captain Branson
who has faithfully served the township
for % years. The only reason for this
action appears to be desire to keep
Severns In for another year when he can
retire on the pension act, as he will have
served 90 years in 1912. Captain Branson
now retires on pension, and in order to
make it possible for Severns to be benefited
the police force this year will cost $500
extra. There is much comment on the
action of the committee In this line and
the result is being harshly criticised in
quarters.

Theatres.
ASdlIcS.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.

Shno1NOI 0IKEhT L HEATRE,
Salvation Nell' is a strong play in
three acts, and one that will doubtless be
appreciated by all classes 1t will be at
the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadel-
phia, this week. 1t contains beautiful
story with splendid moral, picturing the
certain unnecessarily poor conditions in
the tenement districts, and how through
the teachings of the Gospel the fallen or
the likely are made to conceive the
higher standard of living, and how the
existence of the unfortunate is brought
into happier state.
In the first act we find Nell Sanders as
a scrub-girl in Stun bar-room. about as
horrible job as one can imagine. We
also find "Jim Platt, loafer, given to
drink, the kind of young man who be-
longs to gang on the East Side. Nell
loves him with logged, pathetic affec-
ton, the more as she is soon to become
mother. 1t is Christmas Eve and the bar
is crowded with motley array of wrecks.
A woman appears, "Halle1ujah Maggie. y
Of the Salvation Army. Soon in their
disorder Jim knocks out man in fight
over Nell. The police come and close
things up. The bar-room is Infatuated at
Nell and orders her out She has nowhere
to go. Hallelujah Maggie takes Nell in
her care and finds protection for her.
The second act shows Nel1s fiat eight
years later. There is a little boy Tim
now. Nell is now an officer in the Saliva
ton Army, and is also loved by Major
Williams, of the Salvationists. But her
boys father, who has been in Sing Sing
for eight years, comes back. He is the
same brute. He tells of a robbery he is
planning that evening to get money to
take them to Denver, Nell tries every
method to dissuade him from the crime.
but seems to fail. She finally promises
her body, her form lying in his arms TO
go with him. Then she realizes that she
made the promise more out of passion for
him than to save his soul and tears her
self away again. He goes forth, apparent
ly to the robbery, and she falls on her
knees praying for him The act is real
poignant.
The last act shows one of the best street
sets ever seen on the stage. The time is
week later than act two The Salvation
Army holds meeting and Nell addresses
it, Jim hanging on the outskirts of the
crowd. Nell is moved to strange elo-
quence 1t thrills you in your orchestra
chair. 1t even thrills Jim. As Nell passes
the tambourine he drops in coin, and
with word intimates that he will try to
climb up to her. She utters one little cry
of piercing Joy, and the curtain descends
on the blare of the Salvation band playing
hymn.

Pension system.

pension system together with life
insurance and sick or disability benefits
was put into effect by Public Service Cor
poration of New Jersey and allied COM
panies, January /. The benefits will cover
the permanent employees Of all the street
railway, gas and electric companies, In
Guiding those acquired. by Public Service
during the last year. In no case will the
men be asked to contribute any portion of
| their wages, and the expenses are to be
borne lwholly by the employing COM
panies.
About 10000 men will be affected by
the company's action and the cost of the
general scheme will, for the first few
years, be at least $50, GOO year. Later II
will be more. Provisions are made for
pensions based on percentages of wages OF
salary, with the minimum fixed at $240 9
year. As sick or accident benefits one
dollar day will be paid during disability
not exceeding ninety days in any one year
and the insurance payable on the death OF
an employee will be $780,
Voluntary retirement at sixty-fve years
of age and after twenty-five years of con
tinuous service and compulsory retire.
ment at seventy after twenty years service
are provided for. The pension will amount
salary paid the person retired for ten years
previous to retirement. multiplied by the
number of years of service. Thus man
who had received $1,000 year and had
worked thirty years would get one pei
cent. of $1,000 multiplied by thirty or $3.50
year. All present employees will receive
the insurance if they continue In the COM
pany's employ until death but new en-
ployes will have to serve one year before
they acquire insurance rights and then
such rights will be dependent upon con-
tinuous service thereafter. Pensioners
will not be paid sick benefits too, but re-
tirement on pension will not deprive an
employee of the insurance benefits. Public
Service is said to be the first utility com
pany in the country to put into effect a
complete pension, death and sick benefits
scheme for its men without expense to the
employees.
The pension and benefit funds will be
administered by Welfare Committee of
which the Second Vice President of Pub
lie Service will be the Chairman. The
other members of the committee will be
the President, Treasurer and General
Claim Agent Of the company.
