WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.-So OBJ

thoughts OF war and its weapons that
the reader is prone to think of Chile
as nothing more than vast nitrate

tories its millions of tons Of non

fields Of the South American republic
have an area OF less than $50 square

THE FREEHOLDERS AWARD
CONTRACT FOR BOULEVARD
Hill Dredging Company Successful
Bidder-Bonds To Be Issued.

The Board of Freeholders at their
monthly meeting on Wednesday awar
ded the contract for the building of
the Absecon-Atlantic City boulevard
to the Hill Dredging Co. for $780,
321.25, their bid being about $4,000
below the next lowest bidder. This
does not include the bridges, of which
there are several. A resolution was
passed authorizing the issuance of
bonds for the county's portion Of the
expense.
The ordinance to grant the Della
ware & Atlantic Tel. & Tel. Co. a ff-
ty years franchise to use all county
roads passed first reading.
The Board awarded the contract for
the construction of a culvert over Ba-
ker's Mills, neal Scullville, to James
Clark for 1914.
Upon recommendation of County
Engineer Nelson, the Freeholders adj
opted a resolution which requires ten
ders of drawbridges to open the draws
at least once every day hereafter.
The Atlantic Construction and Sup
ply Company, building the Longport-
Somers Point road, was given an ex-
tension of time for the completion of
the road. 1t was to have been COM
pleted last August, but the work was
held up two months by the State and
bad weather since that time has inter
fered to such an extent that it was
necessary for the contractors to seek
an extension of time. The extension
will be subject to the approval of the
State Road Commissioner.
If the project meets with the ap-
proval of the State Road Commits
%sioner, the F~reeholders will advertise
for gravel and macadam paving with
a view to joining the Shore road with
the Somers Point-Mays Landing
Boulevard.

FISKE O'HARA IN KILKENNY"

Its society, manners and customs in
the early part of the nineteenth cen
fury, during which period the action
of Fiske O'Hara's new play takes
place, are faithfully reproduced by the
author. The popular sports and Gus
toms of any people form an interest
ing portion of their history. The
hunting fields of Kilkenny were fam
Gus. No mellower turf could be
found in all of Ireland. There were
many stiff obstacles, including good
stone walls to try the mettle of the
horses, and horsemen, who were able
to stay to the finish with the "Swift
Kilkennies." After the hunt, break
fast was served at the historical "Hole
in the WALL" Tom Clayton, its pro-
prietor, boosted of having entertained
all the notables of the age, including
the Duke of Wellington, when he Wis
tied Kilkenny.
Archery contests, bull batting and
cock fighting, also furnished amuse-
ments for visitors during the day,
and in the evening they went to the
theatre, to witness the performances
of the amateurs. Richard Wesmond,
the star part in KILKENNY" played
by Fiske O'Hara, was the leading
man of the Amateur company. In
his new play Mr.. O'Hara sings"That's
What An Irishman Means" Contrary
Mary CARY" "Ireland Is Ireland To
Me-" "Dear Mother Nine" and
"When It's Moonlight In Mayo"
specially written and composed for
Kilkenny"
This play will be : rendered this
Friday and Saturday evenings at the
Apollo Theatre, with Saturday Matt

YOUR FRECKLES
Need Attention In March Or Face
May Stay Covered.

Now is the time to take special
are of the complexion if you wish
it to look well the rest of the year.
The March winds have a strong ten
dency to bring out freckles that may
stay all Summer unless removed.
Now is the time to use othine-double
strength.
This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promin-
ent physician and is usually so sue
cessful that it is sold by druggists
under guarantee to refund the mon
ey if it fails. Get an ounce of othine
double strength, and even a few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
improvement, some of the smaller
freckles even vanishing entirely.

MISJUDGED DISTANCE;
THEN MISSED TROLLEY.
These Young Men Learned That Dis
lance is. Sometimes Deceiving.


A newly acquired resident of bur
city had a rather trying experience
last Saturday night, caused first by
misjudging distance, and secondly by
misjudging the trolley schedule. The
story as told by himself runs some
thing like this: Saturday evening a
friend from Philadelphia came down
to spend the weekend, and after the
business for the day had been con-
Guided, the two young men walked
to the edge of the city to view Lakes
Bay by moonlight. Their gaze fell
upon the alluring lights from Atlantic
City, which in their judgment was
only about a mile distant. One pro-
posed that they walk across the mea-
dows, and the trip was begun. After
walking for some time the distance
seemed not to diminish and the ped
estrians were somewhat chagrined;
but each being reluctant to be the
first to "squeal', they walked val
iantly on. AS is the Ease with all
things, their journey ended at last
and they spent a very pleasant sea-
son with a friend in the seashore city.
Upon consulting their schedule when
ready to return to Pleasantville, they
found that they had made their sec
ond blunder for the evening, and the
last trolley had sometime since de-
parted for the Shore. They bravely
grasped fate by the horns, however,
and again did the marathon" across
the meadows, arriving at their abode
at $50 Sunday morning. They were
good sports, though, and took their
medicine philosophically, realizing
that the joke had been on them.
