The late John Bigelow, the patriarch
Of diplomats and authors, and the nc
less distinguished physician and au
thor DR.. s. Weir Mitchell were together
several years ago at West Point. DR.
Bigelow was then ninety-two and DR.
Mitchell eighty.
The conversation turned to the sub
1ect of age. 81 attribute my many
years." said Dr. Bigelow, ito the fact
that l have been most abstemious
have eaten sparingly and have not used
tobacco and have taken little exercise
TT is just the reverse In my case,
explained DIR. Mitchell. 81 have eater
Just as much as l wished, If / could ge1

That he is imbued with desire to haye

That he Ia imbued with desire to have
matters run economically was plainly
shown by the reports and action of DR..
LeJambre, member of the Board of Free
holders whereby he compared the cost of
maintaining the almshouse and asylum
Perhaps the doctor should have made his
examinations thoroughly before making
his charges. but having made public his
views on the cost of keeping the two
institutions 1t Is very desirable that an
Investigation should follow. Whatever
may be the result the opinion prevails in
all parts OF the county that the farm at
the almshouse Is a costly holding. This
has been the idea for long time and
every year seems to prove the assertion.
The receipts from the sales of produce
from the farm are mere bagatelle and II
looks as If 1t would pay the county tc
abandon the farm entirely or at least dc
away with the majority of the land
Probably when the whole affair is care
fully looked into there will be different
aspect than that which now confronts us
and until then public opinion should BIZ
suspended. Another matter that DR.. LIE
Jambre gave much attention to was the
price paid for gasoline for supplying the
county buildings at Mount Holly will
gas. 1t was found that a Mount Holly
dealer was paying "a cents per gallon fol
gasoline and DR.. LeJambre commended
that an article which would compar,
favorably with that being furnished coult
be purchased for at least eight cents pc
gallon less. A test on this subject is tt
follow. There has been suspicion for
long time that the county was not getting
the best end of the deals in purchases O
oil and other materials and the intention
to secure all such materials by bids, will
specifications as to the quality of tn,
material may prove highly beneficial
Especially In the matter of oil for roat
purposes may there be a difference noted
40 the old system of allowing the super
visor to buy without seeking competition
will be done away with.

A Household Maneuver.

"And what" asked the caller after
he had been shown all over Mr.. Bobbs'

hanging over the pianoT
Don't you known" answered Mr..
Bobbs enthusiastically. why, that is
a handy match receiver, made by Mrs.
Bobbs. l scratch a match and use 1t.
1t must not be thrown on the floor.
There is the receiver. Holding the
burned match carefully In my fingers,
I move the piano away from the wall
to the center of the room. Then l go
down In the basement and get the step
ladder l place the stepladder against
the wall, mount it, deposit the match in
the receiver, climb down again. l then
return the stepladder to the basement
come back and move the piano into Its
former position. There's nothing like
having these things about the house
1t makes neatness and discourages
smoking. "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Free Hotel.

At Miramar, on the island of Ma
jorca, in the Mediterranean, is free
hotel, where accommodations may be
had for three days upon application to
the agents of the Archduke Luis Saliva
tor Of Austria. 1t Is a beautiful spot
and the entire neighborhood is full of
attractions to the traveller. Attendants
in charge look after the welfare of
guests, who must, however, provide for
their own food. Beds, linen and table
appointments they receive gratis, and
bread and wine can be obtained very
reasonably. 1t Is said that this provi-
sion is due to the qualification the Aus
TRAN owners felt years ago when they
first came to live at Miramar. Such
peace and such loneliness, they felt,
should be shared by all lovers Of nature
who passed that way.-Argonaut.

In an article In the American Maya
zine, Walter Prichard Eaton writes:
THE theater door man is an impor-
tant person on first nights, because as
he passes out return checks between
acts he hears the comments of the au-
dience. His ears are wide open on
such occasions, and, mingli2g with the
crowd in the lobby, are othaf attaches
Of the theater, all seeking 10 overhear
the comments, and all rushing to report
to the manager. Not long ago the last
act of a play In New York was en-
tirely changed after the opening night
solely because the women In the audi
ence, as they left the house, were near
ly all complaining of the tragic finish.
When a piece hangs In the balance be-
tween success and failure, when 'tink-
ering' can perhaps turn the scale, these
frank comments overheard In the lobby
are of great Importance to author and
manager. In other cases they are q
barometer Of success or failure, though
the ultimate test, of course, Is the
subtle attitude of the audience in the
auditorium, its spontaneous enthusiasm
or it's GOODNESS and signs of boredom"

EIoraI Death Lauanda.

BY the Mexicans marigolds are known
as death flowers from an exceedingly
appropriate legend that they sprang up
on the ground stained by the life blood
Of those who fell victims to the love of
gold and cruelty of the early Spanish
settlers. Among the virginian tribes,
too, red clover was supposed to have
sprung from and to be colored by the
blood Of the red man slain in battle
with the white invaders In a similar
manner the red peoples which followed
the blowing of the field Of Waterloo
were said to have sprung from the
blood Of the killed and wounded in that
famous battle. According to tradition,
the Danish invasion is the cause of the
daneweed, a coarse, asteraceous plant
common In England, as it sprang from
the blood Of Danes slain In battle, and

reason, Is called danewort and dane

Harold McGrath, the famous author,

Of the most intensely humorous stories

day. That Grace Livingston Furness, in
the dramatization, has furnished strik-
ing and equally impressive play for the
stage under the same title, "The Man on
the Box" is strongly apparent from the
great success whenever produced, and
that the Orpheum Players, for the week
which began last evening, at the Chestnut

themselves equal to the occasion, goes
without saying. the ability of this COM

BROAD STREET THEATRE
1.-THE GOVERNORS LADY,


''The Governors Lady," which created
a profound impression in Philadelphia,
where Mr. William Elliott and Mr.. David
Belasco made the initial production last
season, will return to the Broad Street
Theatre, the scene of its former triumph,
for limited engagement, beginning
Monday, January 27th. Since it was here
the play has been produced in New York
at the Republic Theatre, where it ran
Eve months and could have continued
throughout the season, but for other
engagements made by Mr.. Belasco for
the Theatre. The production will be in
every respect the same as on its first
visit here, both as to cast and wonderful
scenic effects.
The play itself, written by Alice Brad
ley, tells powerful, gripping story. Its
cast presents many actors of the highest
excellence. illustrating that rare perfec-
ton of which Mr. Belasco alone seems to
hold the magic secret The stage pic
lures are so unusual and elaborate, so
realistic in every detail, as to have excited
the wonder of all who have seen them

For the sense of looking at the intimate
things of life, of being present at real
crises, of knowing the thoughts and the
feelings of the principals, is amazingly
conveyed One gets it both in the superb
acting and the general method of presen.
tation, especially in its tremendous third
act. From the rising of the first curtain
to the end of the epilogue. with its per-
feet reproduction of Childs' Restaurant,
the illusion of reality is there. The play
has an innate quality of sincerity, and the
climax of one big scene piling on top of
another, makes the entire drama one of
unusual power.
1t has been long time since anything
more moving has been shown on the Few

in the third act when, in the little cottage,
where early happiness and success was
wrought, the deserted wife meets and
learns of the woman who has come be-

the now successful candidate for Governor
is discarded by the latter, only to learn
that the former has also cast him off.
This act, delivering in a charming way
the simple, homely things of life, de-
velops into scene of quickening emotion
when the wife learns the truth, and closes
with powerful dramatic note with the
wife's final assertion that she is through

their manufacture was a household H.
