1.-THE Royal Mounted" thrilling, 70.
mantle drama of the Canadian Northwest,
will be given its first presentation at popu-
lar prices by the Orpheum Players at the
Chestnut Street Theatre next week.
1t is play of vigorous action in which
hardy characters, only the kind that live
and love in the open air, away up in the
forest regions of the cold Northwest, en-
act drama all by themselves. ''The
Royal Mounted" written by Cecil B. De-
Mile, was first produced with Cecil Scott
in the role of Sergeant O'Brien of the
Northwest Mounted Police, who through
his daring and courage has received the
sobriquet of Sergeant Devil M'Care.
Later the play was adapted for the use of
Andrew Mack, who starred in it success
fully for an entire season.
In the Orpheum production of "The
Royal Mounted" Charles Balsar will be
seen as Sergeant Victor O'Brien, and
Marion Barney will play the trying and
difficult role of Rosa Larabee They will
be supported by splendid cast, includ-
ing all the Orpheum favorites.
All of the scenes of the play are laid in
Alberta, Canada: the first showing the
headquarters of the Northwest Mounted
Police; the second, lumber camp on the
Great Elk; the third, the cabin of Rosa
and Sam Larabee on the Great Elk, and
the fourth, a picturesque and ragged
mountain pass.
Amid these surroundings, a beautiful
love story is unfolded.
''The Royal Mounted permits of some
very picturesque settings, and all together
a beautiful production. This will be pro-
vided by stage director Percy Winter.
In just about two weeks-August 40 to
be exact-Miss Carolyn Gates, the charm
ing young actress who scored with ire
mendeus hit as leading woman for the Or
pheum Players last season and who re-
sumes her engagement in that position on
September 9, will return from her trip
abroad.

Tax Records Filed.

Tuesday was the day fixed by law for
assessors to file their books with the
County Boards of Taxation and from
notices published we find that there was
dilatory action in many counties. In Bur-
lington county this was not the case and
the books were sent in with promptness
never before equalled. Woodland did not
respond and Burlington city was also
silent, but this was expected as the as
SCISSORS In that city did not get to work on
time.
The rest were ready and the clerks
have begun to verify the books. Nc
penalty is attached to the failure of as
SCISSORS to file their books, but the work OF
getting out the duplicates in time for the
collectors to make out their bills is very
much retarded If the books are not sent ir
on time. If Burlington city gets its worE
done quickly the Burlington County BoarC
will not be held back.
To-day the County Collector is required
to lay before the County Board Of Taxa
ton the State apportionment of schoo
tax and the amount necessary for county
expenses, and next Tuesday the various
governing bodies in the county certify Il
the respective amounts necessary to b.
raised for operating expenses, These ar
two essential elements In the making 0
the tax rate.
The various rates will be determined II
the latter part of September. After tina
the County Board will sit in the differen
taxing districts to hear appeals.

Mount Holly base ball enthusiasts
were promised contest with a strong
team Saturday, and the Crescent club,
from Philadelphia, was the aggregation
that sailed under that title. The game
started off pretty fairly and Mount Holly
scored run in the first inning The
pitcher of the visiting team was a fat,
good-natured fellow, who had slow,
lazy delivery, yet the home boys were not
able to do very much with it. Loose
playing on the part OF the visitors allow
ed Mount Holly to get runs before the
game ended, while the Crescent boys
secured but one. In the seventh inning
the visitors had fine chance to make
things lively. One man reached second
and another was on first with no one out.
The man on second went to sleep and a
quick throw by Cain caught him mapping
and that settled it for 1t seem to have taken
the vim out of the others. The visitors
played in all sorts of hard luck, some fast
double plays interfering with their scor-
ing.
The umpiring was fair. There were two
rank decisions by which the visitors suf-
fered, man being called out at third, and
ball being declared foul which was
easily fair. If the umpire would take the
trouble to get somewhere near the point
where play was being made or where he
can see a ball as it strikes it would aid
materially, but to stand directly behind
the pitcher and attempt to render deci.
sion from that point is not the thing.
Good umpiring adds as much interest to
the game as good playing does.
A Burlington paper had an announce
ment on Friday that there would be g
great game at Burlington and went so fal
as to name the lineup, In one Of which
were the names of Sweeney, Justice
Charley Peacock, and other fine players
This not only led to the impression that
Florence was not going to play on Satur
day, but deluded people into going to see
game on fake advertisement. The mer
mentioned never had any intention Of
playing at Burlington.
Mount Holly A. c. travelled to West
Collingswood on Saturday, and were de
feated by that team by the score of Is to g.
Some game you can imagine.
WaverleY, of Philadelphia, defeated
Hainesport, on Saturday, in an exciting

Florence continued its winning streak
Saturday, defeating Palmyra by the score
of 10 to 8.
Charley Peacock, of Florence. has issued
challenge to the re-organized Burlington
team to play Florence for purse of $500.
Charley is game sport and Florence IL
always willing to back him to the limit.

CANDIDATE WILSON has read his speech
Of acceptance and 1t is generally conceded
to be strong paper. showing scholarly
mind, with all due Difference to rhetoric
and grammar. He said many things that
will be considered and carefully weighed
as the campaign proceeds. and he left un-
said many things on which the people Of
the country expected him to dwell
infinitely. He has promised, however, tc
give another address soon In which he will
take up important matters as they come
to his mind, one of which will probably
be the money question, a subject hi
acknowledges he is not sufficiently &C

ALL is not well in the Moose camp In
New Jersey. Former Senator Everett
Colby, an ardent Roosevelt admirer, could
not remain in the Republican party be-
cause the nomination of his favorite had
been stolen, SO he went to the Progressives.
II he had an idea that he would be "big
frog in a small puddle" or that he would
be treated with the great consideration
that the desertion of his old party entitled
him to, he was soon disabused. Colby
wanted his friend Borden Whiting put
upon the Moose National Committee, and
he evidently rested in the belief that his
wish would be respected, but he forgot
that former Governor Fort and George L.
Record were on the lookout for all that
might come their way and Borden was
dumped, Colby was ignored, and Fort
given the plum. 1t is not plain how Colby
was caught mapping. An astute politician,
with thorough knowledge of men and
conditional is wonderful to think that he
allowed Fort and Record to pull the wool
over his eyes. The Camden Courier says:
at would not be surprising If Colby
should withdraw from active participation
in the campaign, especially since John
Fort says he is glad to get rid of Colby,
as he had no use for him anyway. Fert
had his head swelled when he was per
mitted to ride In the auto with Roosevelt
from the lstter's hotel to the Coliseum.
Report goes that the Bull Moose has been
led to believe that Fort is the best posted
man along political lines in New Jersey,
but as the Moose campaign is to be one of
q personal character 1t may develop just
what John knows of politics from his
Office holding days In the Legislature up
to his retirement from the public service. !"

AMONG the latest political stories put
out is one to the effect that former Govern
or Murphy has written very sharp letter
to former Governor Stokes, In which he
practically reads the latter ont of the
party. Murphy is away and Mr.. Stokes
declines to discuss the subject. There is
no doubt that there are a number of peo-
pie who would be glad to see former Gov
ernor Stokes knocked into cooked hat. 4"
He is too popular for the comfort of those
individuals and his chances for securing
the nomination for United States Senator
Is causing them much uneasiness. Mr..
Stokes has always been a great stickler
for upholding those In power and when
former Governor Murphy was being criti-
cised for very many things he had no
stauncher supporter and defender than
Edward Caspar Stokes. By what author
ity Franklin Murphy takes upon himself
the right to read any one out of the party
Is unknown, but when he starts on that
task with man of the worth and ability
Of Edward @, Stokes he will find he has
task on hand the size of which will be-
come more apparent as time advances.
What effect Murphy's efforts will have in
the upper part of the state cannot be told
now. but down this way they will proba-
bly, increase the good feeling already In
existence for former Governor Stokes.
