Literary Note.

The leading character in Constance
SINNERS novelette, In the March Smart Set
is faithful wife. Not that faithful wife
is In any way an unusual character, but
the woman in this story Is the sort of wife
a man dreams of In his most selfish
moments. The splendid wifely attributes
OF Joan Ives are expressed In the title of
the novelette,, Builder of Men" She
inspires her husband to write book that
makes him famous; she wins a reckless
boy from his infatuation for a notorious
actress; every man who meets her feels
her unique and compelling charm that is
exerted only for good. And when her
husband strays afar she refuses divorce
but waits patiently until the eventual
return to reason brings him back to her.
Many very up to date questions are dis
cussed In this story-the marriage Of
woman to man younger than herself,
the cult of the Modernists, the mental
horizon of woman, the attitude of wife
toward the moral delinquencies of a hus-
band.
Whether you are musical or tone deaf.
an unwilling victim of grand opera, or
devotee, you will chuckle over John
Kendrick Bangs "Who'sWho In Wagner. "
In the March Smart Set. Andre Castaipne
is at his best In the frontisdiece which he
contributes to the March issue of the
Smart Set This most unusual picture,
entitled Dante and Beatrice" is one of
series Of historic lovers which this
famous French artist Is painting especially
for the Smart Set.

Taking advantage. perhaps, of situa-
ton that was created by the retirement of
William W. Worrell, sheriff, and Samuel
K. Gaskill, turnkey. the allegation that
certain persons are reviving a practice
with which they are said to have been
engaged at one time-that of making so
licitations in the matter of arresting
part Of those who are now complaining,
from the fact that Andrew j. Jordan, the
new sheriff, has already had occasion to
call down one or more officers because of
the sudden increase In the population of
that undesirable class at the county jail.
Although the situation Is new one to
Sheriff Jordan, and William King, who
succeeded Gaskill, they are being kept post
ed by Joseph B. Fleetwood, deputy sheriff,
who called attention to the increase soon
after Sheriff Jordan assumed the duties
of his new office.
1t has been learned at the jail that dur
ing the present month there we're as many
as forty tramps confined In the cellar at
one time, which number represents more
hobos than were entertained at any one
time under the administration of Wor-
rell, who made 1t SO unpleasant for tramps
that there was no pleasure for them In
stopping here. He would not let them have
playing cards with which to pass away
the time and he would not permit lights
to burn In their quarters after dark. No
nj ads considered a deprivation of these
privileges hardship, and as word was
passed along the line. there was soon no.
ticeable reduction in the number of these
unwelcome boarders, followed by a saw
ing Of hundreds of dollars to the taxpsy-
ers. The straw that broke the camel's
back, however, came when Worrell began
to feed tramps on the thin end of the
soup. Not only this, but tramp who
persisted In hanging around this neighbor-
hood and having been returned to the jail
three times, was thereafter given solitary
confinement In cell among the prisoners
up stairs and deprived of the pleasure
which the jail yard usually afforded.
Sheriff Jordan, however. recognizes the
fact that he has no discretionary power
and is obliged to receive all tramps who
are properly committed, but 1t is likely
that he may put sudden check to the
ambition Of any officer who is working
overtime In this direction by adding some
thing more unpleasant to the plan that
proved so successful under the methods
adopted by his predecessor.
An acquaintance with Sheriff Jordan
carries with 1t the assurance that he will
do all In his power to prevent revival of
the tramp industry at the county jail dur.
ing his term of Office.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE,
"FOr Fair HirQtniG"

During the week commencing Feb. 10Th
with the Monday matinee, the Orpheum
PLAYERS, at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Phila will present "For Fair Virgins"
a wonderfully realistic and beautiful
romance of the South.
Wartime days in the South, during
those four years when coats of blue and
grey covered brothers estranged, father
and son on opposite sides, while in the
great shadowy background of the conflict
waited the mothers and sisters and sweet
hearts-those days with their joys and
sorrows, heartaches and tears, furnished
for Russ Wythal a setting for stage
story of such dramatic worth and so
| intensely human that it has been said
that ''For Fair Virginia" embodies in its
action more of the desperate realism OF
those features of the great struggle with
which it deals than any other drama Of
its kind ever staged.
"For Fair Virginia" is the most delight
full play Of the South, during the Civil
War period, ever written, and was the
means of bringing great fame to the
actor author, who enjoyed many seasons
of merited success as its hero. In thu
Orpheum production William Ingersol
|, and Carolyn Gates will be seen to splendit
advantage in this War romance, and tn
cast will needs be augmented because Q
the tremendous supporting cast, whicl
will provide good parts for every Orpheur
favorite.
This weeks production at the Chestnr
Street Theatre is That's" a charmin
: play that was given with great succei
e last season at the Broad Street TheatI
Q and at the Metropolitan Opera House.

Miss Lora Ritter, of Hainesport, hi

Miss Lora Ritter, of Hainesport, hai
entered the American Hospital, Philadel
phia, to become trained nurse.
The advance sale of seats for the Philo-
LOCUS Ministries, to be given in the opers
house on Tuesday next, has been very
large, and It may become necessary to re-
peat the performance.
Burlington firemen have been kept busy
for several days past. Two fires In that
city on Saturday night caused excitement.
Miss Mary Tracy discovered smoke coming
from the home of Harry Haywood, on
Pearl street. The flames gained consider
able Roadway and firemen were nearly
suffocated while waiting for water from
the frozen plugs. Finally hose was put
in the rear of the building, and the fire
extinguished after smoke and water had
damaged everything. The trouble started
by an oil stove setting fire to mattress
during the absence of the family. The
second fire started in Ross's pool room,
but was soon put out with chemical ex-
tinguisher. At one O'Clock last night q
fire of unknown origin destroyed the
large warehouse on Lawrence street, which
was filed with furniture belonging to
Charles Fl. Hitler. His stables and con-
tents were also consumed, together with
horse and several wagons. Ahouse In the
rear of Amos Creelys residence on High
street was reduced to ashes. The large
shoe factory of Senator G. W. Lewis
caught fire, but the blaze was soon extin
guished.

Asked To Complete Work.

Notice has been served ON the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company. by City Solicit
tor Bleakly. of Camden. to complete the
work of elevating its tracks in that city.
The company In its contract agreed In
1907 to complete the work by 1912.
Work on the elevated structure was
stopped long time ago. On the Amboy
division the tracks were to be elevated as
far as State street and bridge was to
span Cooper creek high enough for tug
boats to pass under. but the tracks
descend to the ground level just before
reaching the creek.
The contract calls for steel bridges
throughout, but most of those built are
wooden, and it is alleged are unsightly.
At the last meeting of city councils Mr..
Vanhart introduced resolution instruct.
ing the city solicitor to take the action
he has.

Earl Everline, of full age, being duly
sworn according to law, on his oath saws
that he has been engineer In charge of the
pumping plant Of the Mount Holly Water
Company for about six months. that since
he has been such engineer he has never
pumped water into the pipes and reser-
voirs excepting through the filters, that
the pumps which supply the filters have
no connection with the reservoirs or pipe
lines, that the old direct connection be-
tween the old steam condensipg pumps
and the creek has not been opened, to the
best of his knowledge and belief, since
the filters were installed about sixteen
years ago, and that 1t Is now In lsuch bad
condition that 1t could not be used; that
the regular dose of alum has always been
used except once, for a few hours soon
after he assumed charge OF the plant,
when the alum pipe was broken: that he
was then ordered by the president never
to pump again without using alum, and
that he has strictly obeyed the order.
