A PLAY WORTH SEEING.

"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy"
at the Bijou theatre this week Is
without doubt the best western play
ever witnessed In this ely. 1t con
tains just enough comedy to keep you
in good humor and has situations
that make you grip the arms of your
chair. Through the efficient work
of Director George L. Graves the play
has been staged to perfection and
not the smallest detail has been for
gotten. The scenery is unusually
natural this week as H. L~andishman,
the Bijou scenic artist, over exerted
himself. The third act is especially
well set, the chief decoration being
American flags. The Gene is the
interior of the barracks and the eff
feet was so striking when the cur
tain rose that the large audience at
the opening performance last night
cheered and applauded for several
minutes.
John Lester as Bud Larrabee, the
perfection. Since he came to Perth
Amboy he has never played a part
that suited him so well as this one.
He is very realistic and deserved all
the applause he received. Mr..
Graves, as Lieutenant Leonard
Faulkner, the other title role. He
makes a stunning soldier despite that
in the play is the william" Miss
Elizabeth Delmore is charming this
week as Edith Faulkner, the Colo
nel's daughter, and Is won by bud"
for a bride in the fourth act. Alan
.Stanchfeld Is deserving Of special
mention for the way he handles two
roles this week. He Is one OF the
most popular members Of the COM
pany.
Mrs. George l.. Graves on the pro-
gram as Camille Lewis. does we'll as
Ouray Hacket, a breezy western girl.
The part does not suit her, however.
as well as that OF Mrs. Stowe, which
she played last week. The re-
mainder OF the cast scored in their
respective parts last night. This
play has a very strong plot and any
one who does not see the production
will miss something good. There will
be a matinee tomorrow and Satur-
day. Friday night is amateur night.

PROCTOR'S BILL GOOD.

No n will regret going to Proc

eral very clever and entertaining
acts Pawell's Pantomime Company
in "a Quiet Room to Let" give a
novel performance with nine charac-
tiers. Special scenery and new eff
fects are used in thep resentation.
The Gillian William Company pre-
sent a very clever act In dancing,
singing and cross-fire talk. The
Ethiopian humor in this %presenta-
ton has the audience in a roar Of
laughter from the start.
Another brilliant novelty is intro
duced by Dyso and Duffy. Excellent
motion pictures are given between
the acts and are enjoyed by many
as much as the vaudeville.

SOPHOMOREs MOURNING.

The S~ophomores of the high school
are mourning the loss of their hand
some class p%ennant which has been
hanging in Miss Hufford's room since
the opening of school. The sopho-
mores are incensed owe it and mean
to take revenge. They believe that
a few of the seniors are the guilty
ones, but of course they cannot
prove it. The sophomores have a
few secret service men on the case
and hope soon to throw some light
upon the matter. The pennant stolen
is a classy one. 1t Is made of black
felt and the class numerals, 1915,
are set upon it in red, making the
class colors show up attractively.
The pennant was purchased last year
by the pupils of Miss Holm's class
and ever since it has been looked
upon with jealousy among the upper
classmen. In some mysterious way
the pennant was stolen once before
but the sophomores recovered it
again, however.

Clergymen's Salaries.
From the Chicago Journal.

Z rom the Chicago Journal
A bishop is on record as saying that
a clergyman's salary ought never to be
less than 81 600 per year. If the clergy
man is married. the minimum should be
81, 200.
1t seems a modest ideal
One thousand dollars a year is little
less than $40 per week
Milk drivers in Chicago get 500 per
week, with a bonus on sales.
Drivers of wagons get from $50 to S25
week.
AT the time the pressmen struck on the
Chicago papers. they We're getting wages
ranging from $25 to $45 per week: and
there has been no attempt to reduce
that scale.
But to the clergyman. a minimum
salary of $1,000 per year seems almost
too good to ever be true. 1t is not SO
long ago that a responsible church au-
thority declared the average salary of
the clergymen of Wisconsin was only
500 per year.
This was the average. mark You. not
the minimum: and to get that average.
good many 5000 salaries We're included
in the total.
