CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE


COMMENCING with the usual Mon
~ day matinee, at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, next week the Orpheum Players
will step from the society parlor of farcical
romance and enter into the absorbing life
of the underworld, " in H. B. Warmers
recent phenomenal triumph, ''Alias
Jimmy Valentine
''A1ias Jimmy Valentine" is the most
widely discussed play in America at the
present day, the theme being on phase
of life, acknowledged an open book, told
many times and many ways, but never
twice in the identical manner, nor has it
ever been treated in such an interesting
and honest stage-picture. 1t makes vivid
the possibility of the redemption of the
criminal and the possibility that the
crook can make good" given strong
motive and favorable circumstances.
"Alias Jimmy Valentine Is founded on
short story written by the late o. Henry
ga Retrieved Reformation"O
The plot concerns the efforts of a re-
formed ''yeggman' or safe-breaker, to
cad an honest life, through the inspira-
ion of young girl, whose Ii fe he had
once saved in a spontaneous manifestation
of chivalric impulse. He is tracked
through the play by wildly drawn
modern detective, who is convinced he
has trapped his game when he detects
him trying to open a safe in the bank in
which he is employed From the stand
point of the sleuth the denoument is
unexpected, for Valentine is simply using
his old art to rescue little child who has
been accidentally imprisoned in the vault.
To tell more might take from the enjoy
ment you will surely find in seeing the
play, but most of us like to know the
elimination of romance, so we promise
it is deliciously satisfactory.
As last claim and promise it can be
assured 'Alias Jimmy Valentine" while
melodramatic is frank, unAshamed and
instructive. It is an assay in this legiti
mate field of the playhouse refined by
touches of appealing sentiment, lightened
by flashes of enforced humor and human
lied by a delicate and unerring perfor
nance upon the chord of heart interest
!, and for the past three years it has moved
enthralled, excited and deeply touched
audiences the country over.

The item in THE News last week on the
condition of the water and the shutting
off of the supply without notifying the
consumers, brought forth the following
letter:
Joseph G. Kingdom,
Mount Holly, N. ].
Dear Strive much regret, of course,
the necessity for shutting of part of the
system and thereby stirring up the sedi-
ment In the pipes, but 1t was necessary
for certain work that was required to be
done, and was under the impression that
few minutes after the faucets were open
the water became clear again. l am ad-
vised by DR.. Henry Lehman, Of Philadel-
phia, the well known analytical chemist,
that the cleaner the water the stronger Is
It's action upon metals and that waters
carrying much sediment coat the pipes
with 1t and to some extent prevent rusting.
We have taken up the question of more
thoroughly flushing the mains with MIR.
Fowler. our consulting engineer, and a
new plan will be put into operation with
In q few days, probably the latter part of
this week.
In this connection might say that we
are taking up the entire question of
present and future supply with Arthur G.
Fowler, of Newark, who was for several
years with the State Board of Health of
N. j., inspecting and advising water
plants for them and who was very strongly
recommended to as by his former chief.
We have engaged Mr.. Fowler at q monthly
salary and he will supervise the operation
of the plant and all construction work.
Yours very truly,
July 2, 1912. President.
At the meeting of the Board of Free
holders Wednesday report was given out
that the State Board of Health had dis
covered that the water furnished the
county institutions at New Lisbon is con-
taminated and contains sewage, SO that
something will have to be done to improve
it. The same stream which supplies the
county buildings gives Mount Holly its
water supply. yet the reports of the
analysts say the water here is pure and fit
to drink. This may be so but 1t Is hard to
believe. II 1t is impure at New Lisbon
why Is 1t clear at Mount Hollyf The re-
port on the raw water shows remarkably
good state of affairs.
The four months limit In which you
are to pay your water bill or have your
supply shut of is rapidly approaching.
What are you going to do about it Per-
haps you will pay up without murmur.
The water company needs the money to
pay dividends. Meantime continue to
boil the water. Typhoid fever has not
been stamped out.

Court.


day, Judge Horner disposed of criminal
matters.
All Of the prisoners had signed waivers
of indictment and trial by jury, excepting
those who came from jail for sentence on
previous admission Of guilt. The
youngest of these were Louis L. Gray and
Philip Kramer, of Burlington, boys OF
very tender. years, who pleaded guilty to
stealing bicycles at Riverside.
| You two rabbits come up here, COM
manded Judge Horner. In telling their
story to the court, Kramer tried to shift
the responsibility to Gray. The latter said
he took the wheel because he wanted to
get away from home.
Prosecutor Atkinson told the story as he
received 1t from Justice Ziegler, before
whom the defendants were given hear
ing. The defendants said they were going
to sell the wheels and with the money had
intended to purchase pistols and commit
holdups. The boys had wild west notions
In their heads.
Mr.. Kramer was present. He told the
court that his SON was not accustomed to
stealing, but that the boy was not as good
as he might be. The mothers were to
have appeared In court, but when they
did not, the case was laid over until the
Il
Paul Randall pleaded guilty to utteri n &
forged check for $3.50 on Fred A..
Messey, q Moorestown hardware dealer,
who became suspicious OF the transaction
and had the stranger arrested. The bogus
check was drawn on the Columbia Avenue
Trust Co., OF Philadelphia, to p. Schill-
ings, signed by Randall q Co., per X.
Schuster, and endorsed by r. Schillings.
The prisoner only recently escaped from
officers in Philadelphia while being ar
| rested for similar crime. AS the case
had just come to the notice of the prose-
cutor, 1t was laid over for investigation.
Norman Gaskill, OF Mount Holly, was
the next to stand up, and he pleaded
guilty to stealing $lll from his sister, OF
which amount he returned $50. Judge
Horner suspended sentence, placed the
young man on probation and ordered him
to report at the December term OF court.
Another condition was that Gaskill was to
furnish bond In the sum Of $500 to sup
port his family and pay costs. Gaskill
had nothing to say as to the reason why
he committed this crime other than that
he did not get along well with his wife.
He denied that there was another woman
in the case.
Howard NJ Braddock, OF Burlington
township, who has attained the age OF 10
years since he was recently before the
court and pleaded guilty to the misuse of
young girl, was sentenced to the state
reformatorY.
The last matter on the criminal list was
the case of Benjamin Fenton, of Mount
Holly. recently found guilty of miscon-
duct with boys.
Judge Horner said this case needed no
public comment. ben, your trouble

States received n revenues from opera
ton $2,418, ,677, 538, and as clear income
from investments $73, 286, 1927, total of
So, 492, 264, 365. In 1900 the total reve-
nues Of the United States railways
amounted to 81, 519, $40, $50. In that
year there were 16, 1877. 794 families in
this country, and total population of
76, 085, 794. The railroads collected toll
in that year to the average amount Of
$93. .87 per family. or approximately $40
for each man, woman and child in the
nation. Based on the total population
for 1910, 92.Os5. 794, the revenues of
the railroads had increased in 1909 to
$27.O6 for each person, or approximate
ly $127 per family. as stated by Mr..
Byrne in debate Wednesday evening.
These figures are from the Statistical
Abstract of the United States for the
year 1910.

THE SUFFRAGETTE MILITANT

II 1kOBAbLY every one OF the million
~ and three-quartes readers smiled,
or laughed outright. at the New Year
cover design of the Saturday Evening
Post. That sturdy little figure, clothed
in hair ribbon and look Of determine
ton, bearing aloft heavy banner inscribed
..Votes for Women," was quite ridiculous
enough to please those to whom the cause
is ridiculous; it was also serious enough to
please those to whom the cause is serious.
Of course one has to look twice to see
the serious side. None the less it is there.
The very fact that such picture is printed
is recognition that the subject is one OF
the vital ones of the new year, as the ac-
complishment of 1911 gives promise of
greater achievement for 1919.
But aside from this the picture is SYM
bolic. Quite possibly the artist builded
better than he knew, in making it. From
the defiant tilt of the head to the jaunty
uplift of the foot, there is symbolism run
riot. This is the sort Of thing Chesterton
must be sorry to think he didn't do.
Why the absence Of draPery! Not
only because Truth, too, is naked and
unashamed; and not only because she is
appareled-or non-appareled-for conflict.
Most of all it is because she has cast aside
the vanities of adornment, because she is
to be victorious not through feminine wiles,
but through the power of effort and the
force Of naked truth. To be sure there
is hair-ribbon, but it serves the purpose
of getting her hair out of the way. so that
she may do battle the more valiantly.
Why the extreme weight of the banner!
Because this victory, like any other worth
the having, is not to be won without labor.
Why the upraised foot? Because she is
keeping time to the music of an unseen
band; because she is marching in step with
a vast procession Of her fellow workers;
because, first and last, in union there is
strength.
But why the huge purse upon that bare
right arm? Most symbolical of all is this
purse, the mightiest weapon woman may
have in waging her warfare. Without the
economic independence it symbolizes there
is scant hope of political independence.
The motto on the banner is only one little
rallying cry in the war for liberty; one
tiny outpost of the citadel to be taken.
Social independence. political indepen-
dence, economic independence. courage,
determination, union in progress-all this
in one funny little picture. It's whole
sermon. Hunt up the Post Of December
80 (they're not paying us for this adver-
tising) and read that cover-sermon. And
if it makes you laugh-why. it's all the
better sermon for that.
