typical Paris roundup. The company
supporting Mile. Amato is recruited
from the best Partisan pantomimists
and the act has been a big hit every
where. The special feature of the bill
will be Ed Blondell and company in
''The Lost Boy and Ed Blondell is
the last word in comedy boy imper-
senators and he has succeeded in
making a low comedy role one of the
most artistic bits on the vaudeville
stage. The act is riot of fun from
start to finish and is worthy of head
line honors on any bill. The added
feature will be the Australian Wood
cutters presenting one of the most
novel acts on the vaudeville stage.
Messrs. Jackson and McLaron who
compose the team have medals en-
blematic of their winning the cham
pionship and they give on the stage
unique exhibition of tree telling and
other Australian bush novelties Great
hulks of tree stumps are sawed and
split by them in an incredibly short
space of time and what adds to the
novelty of the act is motion picture

timber cutting The act is big hit

week. Cunningham and Marion will
present their acrobatic talkfest in
which is introduced some wonderful
tumbling and some sensational high
kicking and the Van Brothers in har-
mony and comedy will surely prove
to be the most enjoyable act seen
here in a long time. Goodwin and
Elliott in novel stage setting and
an original sketch idea t'The Music

singing and piano playing and Kath-
crime Kaye one of the best of singing

A FINE CIRCUS
Frank A. Robbins Coming September
16

Frank Robbins circus was one OF
the best that has ever visited Elem
ington. The afternoon performance
was quite well attended and in the
evening the large tent was crowded
to its utmost capacity.
This circus carries many of the very
finest attractions that can be found in
any circus on the road. Indeed, many
acts are simply marvellous. 1t is not
pony and dog show, which makes its
great feature the billboards and adj
vertising, but shows all it claims in
its advertisements, and many of these
features are far beyond any descrip-
tion that can be written or Illus
trated on paper.
The circus that Frank A. Robbins
has this year is first-elass in every
way. 1t is larger and better than
ever and the public will get square
deal for their money when to go to
see it. Ard that was the comment
heard everywhere after the perfor-
nance on Thursday last. -Hunterdon

PESTERED WITH PROPOSALS
The Girl In The Taxi Received l16
In Less Than A Year

Here is young lady who has re-
ceived 116 proposals in less than a
year She is an actress, but offers of
marriage have been the AL, blown
in-the-bottle brand, not the stage va
riety.
Miss Clara Joel is the lady's name
and she will be seen here Saturday
in the leading role with 1.-THE Girl in
The Taxi" at the Colonial Theatre.
In speaking of her proposals she says !:
81 wish / could turn over to girls
looking for husbands the majority of
proposals for marriage which ! have
received during the present season.
BY actual count | have so far been
honored with 116. / haven't escaped
in a single city of my itinerary.
Bankers, brokers, politicians, college
men, merchants, cowboys and even an
Indian are in the collection. But so
far / have lodged the moose.
1.-THE most unique proposal came
from a man in Kansas City. He sent
me the impression of his palm, at the
same time importuning me to have it
read by palmist and if there were
aught in his life or character that
would blush at the spotlight of inves-
tigation, to reject this proffered
hand Life is too short and the dis
tanee to the palmist is too long, but
it makes an interesting page in my
scrapbook.

INSTANTLY KILLED BY AUTO
Former Secretary Of Navy Strikes Child
Killing Her Instantly

Truman III. Newberry, of Detroit.
Mich, ex-Secretary of the Navy,
while driving his runabout at Nara
gansett Pier last night struck and
killed Helen Ellis, the seven-year-old
daughter of George w. Ellis, of Mil
ford, Mass. The accident occurred
in front of the Hotel Mathewson,
Providence, r. L.. at O'Clock.
Mr.. Newberry gave himself up to
the police and was arraigned before
Justice of the Peace Edgar Watts on
a charge of manslaughter, made by
Chief of Police James d. Caswell, of
the Pier. He pleaded not guilty and
was released in SIS, surety to APP
pear beore Judge Nathan B. Lewis at
next Mondays session of the Second
District Court at Wakefield.
1t is probable that had the child not
turned about when her mother called
to warn her from the other side the
fatality would not have occurred.
Mr.. Newberry stopped the car within
few feet and both he and the chauf-
feur, as well as the men on the hotel
veranda, ran to the spot where the lit
tie one lay. One glance was enough
to tell Mr.. Newberry that the girl
was at least dangerously injured and,
jumping into his car again, he drove
to the centre of the town where he
found DR.. Clarence E. Gardiner.
DR.. Gardiner returned with Mr..
Newberry. He found that the child
was dead and that death had been
practically instantaneous. Besides
the crushing of the skull there were
multiple Commissions and bruises of the
limbs and body. Justice of the Peace
Watts, who is empowered to hold ar
raignments, was sent for and MIR.
Newberry reached close friend, Will
liam C. Marrow, who secured John C..
Joyce, proprietor of Elm Cottage 70
act as bondsman.
Chief of Police Caswell made for
NAL complaint charging manslaughter,
to which Mr.. Newberry pie AIDED not
guilty. Justice Watts fixed the bond
at $4,000. Mr.. Newberry has a sum-
mer cottage at Watch Hill, and fol-
lowing the arraignment, went with his
car, allowing the chauffeur to drive it
to Watch Hill.

A NUISANCE IMPROVED UPON
Objectionable Features Of Road Made
Better

One of the former Objectionable
features of the Short Line travel
was passing the great piles of ma
nure at intervals, along the road.
This manure is used as fertilizer, and
was stacked at certain places near the
track waiting for shipment.
A passing car, the first would stir
it up and the car following would re-
ceive all the bad effects. To obviate
this the Short Line officials have en-
deavored to improve matters by hav-
ing the manure piles moved farther
back from the tracks, and to this end
have placed sidings at intervals along
the road for this purpose.
The officials Of the Maryland EIec-
trio Railways Company annapolis

comfort of their patrons, and contin-
ually strive to accomplish this end.
