considers the awards. Over $4,000
is involved in the contracts.
Writ Read BY Clerk.
Following the reading of the min
utes last night, the writ was men
toned by Clerk j. Edward Harmed,
and Mr.. Martin asked to give his
opinion, At the request of Commit
teeman Anton Huffman, who sec
onded the motion awarding the con-
tracts to Juan, the writ was read by
the clerk, to the manifest Joy of the
audience. Although no action was
taken, other than the attorney in
structing the clerk to enter upon the
minutes that the writ had been read,
it was the II Of the meeting that
the clerk prepare the data desired,
In case no adjustment of the ques-
ton is made before June 5. The
ter the writ had been read. The
committee holds a regular meeting
June /.
George H. Brown were highly IN
censed because the committee re
fused to discuss the writ publicly
last night, and severely scored the
men for sitting in easy chairs for
three minutes and thus spend SIS Of
the townships good money. Each
member of the board, and the clerk,
is paid three dollars a meeting. The
attorney receives a stated salary.
Mr.. DoOley Speaks.
In defense of the short, snappy
session." John s. Dooley, who evi-
IDENTIFY rules the committee, stated
the committee intended to discuss
the matter thoroughly but the writ
caused a decided change in plans. 1t
is said the meeting was for the pur-
pose of reconsidering the original
resolution, but finally award the con-
tracts to Juan again. Committee
men Dooley, Kuhlman and Lee orig
inaIly favored Juan, while Brown
strongly opposed such high handed
methods. Chairman Cranston pass
ed his vote at the time, although 1t
IS now generally known he also IA
vors Juan.
Committee Meets Today.
There will be q special meeting
Of the committee at 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon, on Middlesex avenue,
where they are to confer with Penn
sylvania railroad officials regarding
the extension of the company's
tracks In that locality. AS known,
the P. R. R. wish to increase their
main sy1tem, between Philadelphia
and New York, from four to six
tracks, and are negotiating with
Woodbridge township for a tract of
land or Middlesex avenue.
Many claimed last night that the
committee would take some action
this afternoon on the road bids, but
that is very unlikely. In the opin-
ior Of Attorney Martin, the commit
tee cal only stand by and wait for
June 5 or make everture5 to the tax
payers.
New things are cropping up every
day now and serve to increase the
interest in WoOdbridge's latest po-
litical agitation. 1t was thought, at
the time, that the writ would cause
the excitement to ebb-but nothing
like that in Woodbridge town.

SOLDIERS HOME IN
STATE ARE CROWDED
News Correspondent

Trenton, May 20.-In spite Of the
fact that the ranks of the veterans
of the civil war are being gradually
thinned out, reports that were made
to the encampment Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic in this city,
show that all Of the soldiers homes
in this state are now overcrowded.
The number Of deaths of the veter-
ans has increased materially every
year, of late, and yet every soldiers
home In the state has more inmates
than it can accommodate comfort
ably.
II this is due to a policy Of econ
omy on the part Of the state, 1t Is
about time, the veterans and their
friends think, that q more liberal
policy should be adopted.

THE two ORPHANS"
AT BIJOU NEXT WEEK

The new managers of the BtJou
theater announce for mex week,
commencing Monday, May %, an
elaborate production of the ever IA
nous, never-dying, beautiful story
of ''The Two Orphans" In making
this selection the management have
In mind that, a theatrical Offering,
to be successful, must appeal to the
eye as we'll as to the ear.
'The Two Orphans gives ample
scope for this, as the stage settings
are elaborate, and the costumes mag
nifcent.
There are a few dramatic plays
that will olive forever" and "The
Two orphans" Is one of them, be-
cause those few have all the elements
that tend to please the theater-goer
strong heart interest, a good story,
pathos and comedy, tears and laugh
ter, and all produced by handsomely
costumed characters in the environ
ment of beautiful stage setting.
1.-THE Two Orphans also offers
that wonderful variety of "stage
characters" that are so pleasing to
the public, for it gives to then the
hero-the chevalier, Deyaudry,-the
champion of modest virtue, found in
the much abused, defenseless or
phan," Heriette.
The sweet, pitiful trustfulness of
the sister "Orphan'-the blind
Louise. The sad story of the moth
erIy, childless Countess. The strong
in heart, though feeble In effort pro-
t~ectiveness of the cripple, Pierre.
| The ~overbearing bragadocia of the
| william, Jacques. The cringing hy-
p~ocrisy of Mother" Frochard. The
Wanting arrogance of the mental,
Picard. The sweet, holy influence of
the sister, Genevieve. The wild,
agonizing despair of the hayward
| Marianne-in truth, nearly every
| phase of "stage character" is shown
in that wonderful masterpiece of
dramatic construction, 1.-The Two
Orphans"
This remarkable play will be CIV
en- every evening-the entire five
act version, same as played~by Kate
Claxton In all the country. Matinees
will be given Monday, Wednesday
and Saturday. At the popular Sat
urday matinee every boy and girl
under fifteen years Of age, will re-
| cieve an attractive present-a nov
city that will interest all. And as
an extra" feature a large practical
monoplane or airship will be pre-
scented to the lucky boy. 1t is worth
| coming after-it Is an ~up-to-date
practical airship.
