WHAT is THE Pennsylvania Railroad
Company doing with reference to plac-
ing safety gates at the Pine street cross
ing? The coroner's jury in very recent
case, demanded that safety gates be
placed at that point. Possibly they are
being built. While it is admitted that
the man who was killed at that crossing
met his death by accident, it was also
clear to the jury that safety gates might
have done much towards preventing the
accident. There is no buster spot in this
neighborhood than the Pine street cross
ing In addition to the regular trains
there are specials and freight trains run
ming over that point, and on Sunday
evenings about six o'clock the trains
follow each other in rapid succession.
On the Sunday evening following the
killing of Harry Taylor eight trains
crossed Pine street within an hour. The
rules of the company place the speed of
trains between Pine street and Medford
junction at thirty miles an hour, and a
few feet before reaching the house Of the
fiagman at Pine street there is a sign
which reads rate of speed 80 miles an
hour" But before coming to that point
the trains thunder along for over 1000
feet at the rate of SIS to so miles an hour
according to the testimony of railroad
employe and the engineer of the train
said he did not attempt to slow down
until close to the signboard. Several
trains were timed on the Sunday even
ing in question and they went over the
crossing in little less than one second.
This may be within the required 80
miles an hour, but it is certainly getting
across the road in short time. Safety
gates should be put at the Pine street
crossing in accordance with the demand
of the coroner's jury.

1t will be news to anglers to know that
an Oswego bass of large size was caught
in the upper creek on Sunday.
Navigation is blocked at the entrance
to the canal at Charles island by a
large tree that was blown down at that
point.
Bradford Herbert went over to the Sill
yer Lakes, near Burlington, ON Satur-
day, and caught six black bass and one
calico bass.
Miss Katherine Gillian, of Mount
Holly, and her cousin, Miss Perry, en-
tered the canoe races at Beverly on
August 80, and won the ladies' tandem.
Cornelius McKenna and Edward Pow
ell, who spent last week camping on the
upper creek near Browns Mills, padded
home in the rain on Sunday afternoon.
Because of the uncertainty of weather
conditions which prevailed, the muddy
water and other causes, the usual num-
Der of pleasure seekers were not to be
seen on the upper creek on Sunday.
The water in the upper creek has been
restored to its usual height. 1t was
provoking to anglers that the,gate at the
grist mill fiume should have burst just
when the fishing was good. 1t is thought
this accident allowed many fish to pass
down the stream.
During the past two weeks fishing has
been very good in the Delaware river
John Perkins, of Beverly, recently
caught 154 rock fish, some of them
weighing five and six pounds. He also
caught "a dozen perch.
A number Of anglers at Smithvillt
were fishing for carp on Sunday. Boiled
white potatoes and Indian meal mashed
together was used as bait. They had M
luck because of the east wind and mud
dy condition of the water.
Camping seems to have been NOR,
popular this year than ever, many en-
Toying this healthful and economical
mode of spending a vacation. No NOR
delightful place can be found for thi
sport than along the banks of the uppe
creek.
4 Herbert S. Killie, Eugene f. Haine
and Simon Gillian are camping for tn
week in the newly-erected log cabins a
Oakdale on the upper creek above Evan
vile. Harry Jones is a night CUES
there, committing daily from his plac
of employment in Camden. The youn
linen are having a fine time.

MURDER at grade crossings still con.
tinues and less than week ago man
and his son were killed at an unprotect-
ed grade crossing in South Jersey. There
was no gate, bell or fiagman at this
crossing, the view of the track being
obstructed so as to make it a dangero us
trap. And SO it goes on, and how long
this condition will be endured by suf-
fering public remains to be seen. The
chief of the automobile service in this
state has had prepared list of the dan
gerous railroad crossings and they deal
with those in South Jersey alone. There
are others just as bad in other parts OF
the state. When Woodrow Wilson ran
for Governor he was pledged to do all in
his power to abolish these death traps.
The Legislature passed a bill requiring
certain number of grade crossings to
be abolished every year, but Mr.. Wilson,
despite the pledges of his party, vetoed
the bill, and out of the veto message fell
a note from prominent railroad attor-
ney, speaking in behalf of the railroads.
Then along came Jim" Fielder, with
the Gubernatorial bee in his bonnet and
he made gallery play by having some
sort of law put through which up to
date does not seem to be saving many
lives.

LAST WEEK we received book by ex-
press-prepaid at the expense of the state
and on opening it were inclined to
the opinion that some one was playing
a joke, for the volume was the annual
report of the State Board of Education
and the Commissioner of Education,
not for the year just completed, but for
the year ending June 80, 1912, year
and two months old. If the work had
been promptly issued there might be
much that could be commented upon
for the benefit of educational circles, but
under the circumstances about all the
book is good for is to be thrown ON the
junk heap. Come to think of it, the
first impression-thatt the sending of the
book was joke-will probably hold
good although it is rather a costly piece
of fun to pay express on stuff that is too
old to be interesting.

AMERICA has had all sorts of Affections
the past year There have been tornadoes,
floods, fires and many other calamities
and as if our cup was not full to over
flowing weare greeted with the announce
ment that Mrs. Pankhurst, the suffra-
gette of England is about to make a visit
to this country. 1t will be well for the
authorities to make all proper arrange
ments to receive her and to deal with
her as she deserves if she carries on any
of the high-handed transactions that
have been her stock in trade in England
We are not yet ready to have the women
of this country educated in arson, bomb
throwing and other atrocities, nor do the
women of America care for such
methods. They are quietly working to
get what they desire and they will come
nearer to securing their object by the
methods they are pursuing than they
will by the lawless ideas of their Eng
lish sister. AS long as Mrs. Pankhurst
keeps herself within bounds and talks
with moderation without any attempt
to incite to criminal acts she should be
received and treated politely, but as soon
as she oversteps the mark she should be
treated just the same as any other law
breaker is and she should be given fair
chance to discover the difference between
American law and English sympathy
and tolerance of illegality. Possibly
Mrs Pankhurst will be able to show who
was responsible for the neglect to proper
ly advertise the amendment to the New
Jersey constitution, and as the Guber-
material campaign will be fairly on by
the time she gets here, she may make it
interesting for at least one of the can
didates by attempting to make him dis
close how mnch he had to do with the
fasco.

AFTER issuing, for many years, a
sheet that was too large to be handled
comfortably, the Mirror, last week,
came out in shape reduced to size
that could be held without discomfort and
which still contained its usual amount of
readable matter. New machinery in the
way OF type-setter, newspaper folder,
and other things which go to make up a
modern Office, have been added to the
Mirrors plant, all of which go to show
prosperity in the past and prospects of a
continuance of the same in the future.

| William Holcomb's famous dramatic
alton of Blackmores celebrated novel,
which will have its first presentation in
Philadelphia, next week, at the Chest
nut Street Theatre, opens with what is
practically a Prologue, founded upon
Blackmore's later story, "Slain by the
Doones the dramatic rights to which
have been obtained exclusively by Mr..
Holcomb from the sole eXecutrix of the
late novelist. This relates dramatically,
what is briefly referred to in the original
novel, the murder of farmer Ridd by the
outlaw Doones of Badgery Forest,
EXmoor, in the West of England ON the
'debatable ground" lying between the
counties of Devonshire and Exmoor.
For this reason-as well as from whole
some dread of the Doones, the authori-
/ ties of both counties excuse themselves
from prosecuting the outlaws, where
upon John Ridd swears vengeance upon
his fathers slayers His sole recruit is
one Tom Faggus, an eX-highwayman
who, to win his pardon-and also John s
sister Annie Ridd, joins in the cam
paign.
But, on Johns visit to the Doone Val
ley, to spy out the famous stronghold of
the outlaws, he meets and falls in love
with their Queen" the dainty maiden
known TO all lovers of romance as
Lorna Doone." Although he supposes
her to be a daughter of the men who
murdered his father, he reconciles his
scheme of revenge with one to rescue
Lorna, and almost succeeds in persuad-
ing the maiden, when surprised by his
rivals among the Doones, and escapes
the paternal fate only through the as
siStance of the old ''witch"-mother
Meldrum-whom readers of the book
will remember as one of the most pic
turesque and impressive characters in it.
In Mr.. Holcomb's play the part is made
still more prominent
In act III, having perfected their plan
of attack, Tom and John Ridd invade
the very stronghold of the Doones,
where John succeeds in winning Sir
Ensor's reluctant consent to his engage
ment with Lorna; but, at the very mo-
ment when it would seem that this
romance is to be consummated, it is dis
covered that the supposed robbers
daughter" is none other than the Count
ess of Dugal, who was kidnapped in
childhood by the Doones. Therefore.
although John Ridd achieves his ven
geance on the murderers of his father.
he finds himself farther than ever from
the lady of his choice.
In next weeks production, Miss Esther
Valentine will appear in the role of
Lorna, and Mitchell Harris will be seen
as John Ridd.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILA.
''THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILA
''THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
HE Importance of Being Earn
M est, Oscar Wilde's famous
comedy, will be presented by
the Orpheum Players this week
Il Readers of the Wilde plays
unite in declaring this comedy
the most brilliant specimen of expert
clever play-writing ever produced by
any dramatist The play not only
abounds in epigrams and neatly phrased
speeches, but is full of genuine comedy
of the kind that the average auditor
laughs at. The title is explained by the
fact that two men pose as a long lost
brother named Earnest, who really does
not exist at all. Each goes to a country
estate claiming to be the missing Earn
est, and when brought face to face,
neither dares to tell the truth about the
other.
1.-THE Importance of Being Earnest
was presented in Philadelphia originally
by Charles Frohman's company, headed
by Charles Richman and Margaret
Anglin. 1t was given last spring at the
Little Theatre in Philadelphia, and the
dramatic critics unanimously declared il
the real treat of the season. 1t was, OF
course, handicapped at that playhouse
by being produced under semi-amateur
auspices but it will be given at the
Chestnut Street Theatre by real actors,
and will be acted as it should be acted.
The genius of Oscar Wilde has long
been recognized and has to certain ex-
tent made people forget the terrible scan
dial which resulted in his downfall. The
lapse of nearly twenty years has made
the people more kindly disposed towards
this cratic genius, who wrote the most
beautiful English of his time, and who
was recognized as the greatest of modern
wits. His plays have recently been
published in book form and several of
them will be acted during the winter
season at the Chestnut Street Theatre.
OF all the Wilde plays, critics unani-
mously agree in declaring that 1.-THE
Importance of Being Earnest" is his
masterpiece. Unlike the more serious
dramas from his pen. ''l'he Importance
of Being Earnest is delightful comedy.
Mitchell Harris will have the leading
role, Edward f. Horton will appear as
his friend Algy, Ethel Valentine and
Marion Swayne will appear to advan-
tage. Florence Roberts will have the
delightful comedy part of Lady Brack-
nell and Julia Morton will have the
entertaining role of Prism, the COVER
ness.

ALL KISSING performances of record
were eclipsed at Salem, o., the other
night, when a pretty girl, member of a
prominent family, was kissed 1866 times
and not by one man, either. At the
same time five other girls, equally pretty
and prominent, received the same num-
Der of kisses, on an average. The girls
disposed of ten thousand kisses at one
dollar each to aid the endowment of

THE candidacy of Ex-Governor Stokes
on the Republican ticket, strikes us
favorably. First because we know him
in and out of office. He is a progressive
Republican, advocating and working
along reform lines which are safe and
conservative. He has shown excellent
judgment in official life, has been frank
and open, in fact so much so that he has
met with much less honest criticism
than most men who have been long be-
fore the public. The fact that he has
not been laundering after more guber-
material honors is to his credit, and it is
only because his many admirers have
felt that he represents all that is best in
the Republican party and have forcibly
presented their views to him, that he
has consented to become a candidate,
not fighting candidate for the nomina-
ton, but one giving promise to make
fight for election if he shall be nomi-
nated.-Egnaer Times,

TENDER IL, Charles Town or Charles
town, the Jeffersonian capitol, of Jeffer-
son county, West Virginia, and its Chau-
tauqua, will begin the greatest moment
of great career. Already the Virginia

United States.
while Mr.. Bryan has spoken twice
in the county before-at Morgan's Grove
this will be his first visit to Charles
Town, the scene of many forensic tri-
umphs of the great orators of an earlier
day.
"As the greatest of orators of his time.
Mr.. Bryan will be assured of an appre-
ciative, intelligent and discriminating
audience and one in full sympathy with
his exalted ideals"
Yes, Dollar Bill invades the Shenan-
doah Valley and sweeps away in his
swift raid the silver coins now garnered
in old stockings and teapots. Will there
be less for the faithful to eat and wear?
His words are sweeter than meat and
lighter than fine raiment. Must the
contribution box suffer for Sunday or
two? Dollar Bill is a religion and
meeting house, and he that hath mercy
on the poor, happy is he; and Dollar Bill
is struggling pauper with only 1921
a year and the income of his investments
and his official organ of the administra-
ton and his receipts and royalties of
books and syndicated lectures. In the
worst of times he doesn't save more than
$40, 900 year. Now is the time to get
your ticket; he that giveth to the poor
lendeth to the Lord.
Brother Bryan certainly has exalted
ideals: the Dollar above the Man!
