Must Paw Arrearages.

That water rent paid for the current
year does not make continuance of the
supply of water If the payer be delinquen
in payments for former years, is the de-
cision rendered In the Court of Chancery
by Chancellor Walker in the suit of Job
s. Barkalow against the City of Belmar.
The result of the decision is that unless Bar
kalow pays his water rent to the city for
the past eight years, the city may turn of
his water supply.
Barkalow brought the suit to compel
the city to serve him with water because
he held receipt for $3.50 for his water
rent for 1918. 1t was shown In the testi.
mony before the Vice Chancellor that the
complainant was in arrears for eight years
previous to this year, and when the col
lector received the $3.50. he gave Barka.
low receipt for the current rent without
ascertaining whether or not Barkalow was
delinquent.
Claiming that the receipt represented 6
contract for this years service, Barkalow
brought the action, but the Chancellor
held that the collector was not the agent
of the city. and the money received should
have been applied to the arrearages AT
ter deciding against the complainant, he
was given certain time to pay up the
back bills for water rent. If not settled
then, his water supply for his home and
livery stable will be discontinued.

Down In Virginia, last week, United
States Senator MARITIME gave an exhibition
that was neither creditable to himself nor
to the state Of New Jersey, which he is
supposed to represent. In an investiga-
tian Of mining affairs witness asked the
Senator, did you not take three drinks
with me In thirty minutes 2'' There was
nothing In the question to indicate the
nature of the drinks, but from the news
paper reports of the affair the query
seemed to indicate that the Senator s'blew
up and was escorted to the rear of the
room by some friends" The Incident has
attracted attention In all parts of the
country, and the Philadelphia Ledger thus
comments on the affair:

Aquatic Notes.

1t is now possible for canoes to cut
through Shinn's cove, the gate having
been removed at the south entrance.
Two rollers have been placed on the
wharf at Hacks boat house, which canoe
owners find convenient in handling their
boats.
A number of anglers were on the up
per creek on Sunday. 1t was an ideal
day for fishing. In the afternoon one
party was able to show eighteen bass.
Some young men who are camping on
the upper creek have nearly removed the
large tree which fell into the water last
winter opposite Charley's island. Their
action is much appreciated.
Edward Hack has decided to enlarge
the new addition which he recently made
to his boat house. By actual count there
are 10S canoes In the building and more
room is needed. The two dressing rooms
are to be separated and made larger and
they will occupy new locations. This
move will necessitate other changes over
present conditions.
Two gentlemen employed in the Land
Title Building, Philadelphia, one of them
being related to Harry Hester, OF Mount
Holly, came here with lady friends on
Sunday and took their first trip up the
creek. They were SO pleased with their
outing that they ordered canoes for July
Fourth and said they would come up fire.

The party of Camden school teachers
who narrowly escaped drowning when
their canoe upset about a month ago,

another experience, In which they were
successful, as they again went into the
water when their canoe turned over. De.
tails are lacking. but the young ladies
ought to be accustomed to such events by
this time.

continued their journey to Smithville
On returning to the wharf 1t was noticed
that they were sitting In several inches Of
water.
The only lively incident on the upper
creek last week occurred on Friday even
ing, when a gentleman and two ladies
from Philadelphia secured a canoe and
started out In face of the threatening
storm, which broke In all its fury when
they reached the dam. They got out at
that point, ran down the raceway path
and around to Hacks boat house wet to
the skin. Securing a rubber coat the man
went back after the canoe. Those en-
gagged putting 1t back into the building,
say they were almost blinded by the heavy
fall of water that prevailed.

THREE WEEKS"


This weeks offering by the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre
will be the famous drama of "Three
Weeks" made by Elynor G1yn from her
famous novel of the same name. This is
a romantic story of the love affair of the
queen of one of the smaller European
countries, who is i'll treated and beaten
by the dissolute king. She goes to Swift
erland to recover her health, travelling
incognito. AT Lucerne, the queen, who
is known simply as a mysterious Russian
lady, meets a handsome young English
man, Paul. Before either realizes the
tremendous influence this meeting will
have upon their lives, they fall madly in
love with each other. Paul wishes to
marry "the lady" but she refuses They
go to Venice together and there the spies
from her own country bring warming that
Paul will be killed by orders of the King,
unless the queen leaves him and returns
home. In great scene of self sacrifice.
ard to save the life of her lover, the
queen leaves him under conditions which
make him believe that her love was only
a passing fancy. The epilogue of year
later shows the queen in her own country,
and the situation that arises when Paul
visits her brings about a catastrophe.
Although the queen has slnned, 1t was
not for her sake, but for the sake of her
country, which needed a crown prince, in
order that the succession of the throne
might be maintained.
There was a storm of protest when
"Three Weeks" was first published as a
book, and Elynor Glyn, who is a member
of one of the oldest and best families in
was harshly criticised for daring
to write such a story. However, over five
million copies of the book were sold in
year, and 'Three Weeks became the
sensation of the civilized world. In play
form, the drama has been quite as sue
cessful.
"Three weeks" will be produced at the
the Chestnut Street Theatre this week
with Gertrude Dallas in the role of the
queen. The prologue shows the queen
in her palace i'll treated by the drunken
Did king. The second act shows 1.-THE
lady, and Paul at a hotel in Lucerne.
The third act shows palace in Venice,
and the fourth act shows the queen back
n her own country as the idol of the
oopulace pursued by the releptless fate
which makes her expiate her sin
