second, in a popular song. The award
was made upon the length and volume

the audience. These young people
showed splendid talent and added
greatly to the interest Of last nights

usual pleasing appearance and kept
the house in an uproar of laughter
with their farcial performances. Aft

Eventful Offerings at the
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE

After succession of notable works in
play-writing, which have won favor at
the hands of the public, the management
of the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadel-
phia, as has characterized the present
season, continues in the diversified pro-
gram of extraordinary interest. "The
Talker," last week, was heartily received,
and in the production of "The Man on
the Case" for this week, will bring to the
footlights, one of the best farcical come
dies that has yet been seen. This work
is the latest success of Grace Livingston

among the very best of humorous writer's

Monkeys, - ''The Man on the Box" ETC.,
ETC., and lastly "The Man on the Case, -
which relates to a robbery in the resi-
dence of mission, at East Hampton,
Long Island. The inability of detective
who has been put on the case, the I'M
scrupulous doings of the head of the
house, Courtenay Longacre, together with
the generosity of multi-millionaire and
his connivance with the detective in
order to win the affection of Longacre's
daughter, is productive of impressive
scenes, humorous complications and gem
uine laugh-producing quality, rarely if
ever, equalled or excelled. The story
ends as you will have it, and will doubt
less prove a memorable event in the
seasons amusement. On Monday, April
2Sth, the big production which has been
undergoing preparations the past months,
called THE Shaughraun' by the great
actor author, Dion Doucicault, will be
offered. To give an idea of the magni-
tude of the work. there are three acts,
sixteen scenes, among them Snilaberg.

At the special election held on Tuesday
Bordentown city decided to adopt the
commission form of government. The
vote was 1856 votes In favor, and 1877
against.
Governor Fielder vetoed the bill de-
signed to give the Auditorium hotel in
Burlington a license. His reasons were
as follows "This bill seeks to amend
section eleven of the bishops law, being
the section which prohibits the granting
of license to sell spurious or malt liquors
at any place within two hundred feet of
the grounds occupied by church, school
house or armory. At the time the original
act was adopted, this section received
very careful consideration on the part OF
those who drafted the act by the legisla-
ture, and do not think its very safe pro.
visions should be amended in any way to
impair its efficiency"

"BUr there 10 Acting Governor Fielder

lie In the great degree of confidence In
which he is held by the people OF the

county there 10 strong sentiment In favor

added such lustre to the history of New

the character and ability of the man, dis
played In his eleven years of service in

has had OF deserved higher place in the
esteem of his Neutrality-suspicious.. There
meyer was any question as to where he
stood upon any large issue or any measure
In the interest of the people of the state.
I'm all the struggle for the adoption of
the program of the new kind of Governor
and the new kind of party leader, Sena-
tor Fielder was at the front, and because
of the high position he held In the Senate,
then Republican, was instrumental In
having passed the measures the Governor
desired. As minority member of the
Election Committee which had to do with
the Geran election law he gave valuable
aid In shaping that extremely crude and
unsatisfactory bit of legislation as 1t came
from the House. He was among those
who lent instant and valuable aid to the
task of putting through the Public Utili-
ties bill and other important measures of
progress in the two years N which under
the leadership of Governor Wilson the
people of New jersey began to get back
TO their own"
The above is from the Philadelphia
Record, and some of 1t will cause smile
In this county. There may be "a strong
sentiment In every county" for Fielder.
but the feeling is stronger is some places
than In others. In Burlington county, for
instance, there is an idea that Fielder is
not as strong in the backbone as a Cover
nor ought to be. His action in the ap-
pointment of a member of the Burlington
county Board of Taxation showed him to
be q man who could be easily Influenced
With the positive knowledge that oppo-
sition would come from a certain source
he named one man from this county,
acknowledging that the Senator was the
man who should be recognized. And
then when the opposition mentioned did
come he backed water" and the recog-
milton of the Senator faded from sight.
In answer to request that the appoint
ment be not withdrawn Fielder wrote q
letter In which he said his action was at
the request of Tom Birch and Dick
Hughes, because the appointee was ''of
fensively partisan, SO much as to refuse to
print paid advertisements of Democratic
meetings" This latter statement was
shown 20 the satisfaction of the acting
Governor to be untrue, but no change
was made. Birch and Hughes were In
command. viii they be able to hand the
county over to Fielder in the primary
election next fall7 Possibly, yet there is
