MANY SECTIONS INTERESTED
IN NEW NORMAL SCHOOL

The Assembly Chamber was filled
to capacity last Tuesday morning by
citizens of every section of South Jer-
sey who were present to urge the Ap-
preparations Committee to include
100000 in the appropriation bill for
the erection of a State Normal School
IN some county south of Mercer. At
lantic County was largely represented
and Pleasantville furnished a goodly
quota. Each county was allowed
three speakers, and Assemblyman
Whitman called upon Mr.. John A.
Burgan, of Hammonton, Mr.. John S.
Weaver, of Pleasantville, and Prof. H.
M. Gresham, County Superintendent
of Schools. They advanced many
strong reasons as to why the appro-
prlation should be granted, and there
is no doubt that the impression they
made upon the committee was a fav-
orable one. In the Pleasantville dele
cation were Mayor Crawford, Council
men James, Derr, Blackman and
Adams, Freebooter Clark Adams,
Messrs. John S. Weaver, w. G. PEN
hollow and T. B. Wootton.

CITY COUNCIL GOES
IN BODY TO TRENTON
INTERESTED IN SECURING THE
NEW SOUTH JERSEY NORMAL
SCHOOL FOR PLEASANTVILLE.

Common Council met in regular
session Monday night with Pres
ident James, Councilmen Adams, An
derson, Blackman, Derr and Lutz
present.
A petition was received from resi-
dents and taxpayers of that section
requesting that Adams avenue West
of New Road and Oneida avenue West
of Mill Road be graded by the City
and put in good condition. Referred
to Street Committee.
A resolution was passed authoriz-
ing City Council, the Mayor and City
Clerk to appear before the Appro-
priation Committee of the Legisla-
ture on Tuesday in the interest of
the appropriation of 100000 for the
new South Jersey Normal School and
exert whatever influence thew could
to have the institution located at
Pleasantville.
A resolution was passed appointing
David D. Martz Police Justice of the
City of Pleasantville for a term of
two years.
A communication was received from
City Superintendent of Schools Whit
ney requesting that Council give $3.50
toward the expenses of the School
Home Making Contest this year; said
amount was ordered paid.
A resolution was offered by Coun-
Gilman Lutz that the Atlantic City
Gazette-Review be given a contract
for inserting a page advertisement of
the city in their Easter edition for the
sum of $50, and was passed.
Councilman Blackman urged that
Council give Sewer Engineers Vos-
bury and Remington authority to sub
NIT their latest plans for the sewer
age system for the city to the State
Board of Health. Engineer Vosbury
was present and explained that the
matter had been delayed by Council
for a year or more and that the State
Board had exhibited considerable i'm
patience that nothing definite had
been done by the city. He said that
the acceptance of his plans by the city
did not necessarily mean that they
were compelled to use them exclu-
sively, but that in view of the fact
that they had been employed to make
drawings of the city and plans for
the system, the State Board naturally
looked to them for some progress in
the matter. Council decided to sub
NIT it to the City Solicitor and take
definite action at an early date.
Immediately following the adjourn
ment of Council a citizens meeting
was held when the action of Council
in sending a representative body to
Trenton to appear before the Appro-
priation Committee of the Legislature
in regard to the South Jersey Normal
School was unanimously endorsed.
Frank Hubin was present and ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased at
the action of Council in making a
determined effort to secure the Nor
NAL School for Pleasantville. He de-
clared that nothing was too good for
Pleasantville and that no effort should
be spared to have this great State
institution located here. He said ne
would endeavor to get endorsements
from leading business men of Allan
tic City in its favor and seemed con-
ident that he would meet with sue
cess. Pleasantville has no greater
nor more sincere booster than Hubin
and his efforts toward getting big
things for our city should be thor
oughly appreciated by our citizens.

"EILEEN" THE ATTRACTION
AT APOLLO ALL NEXT WEEK

One of the notable events of the
theatrical season will be the presenta-
ton at the Apollo Theatre all next
week, with Wednesday and Saturday
matinees, of the new romantic comic
opera, eileen" upon which Victor
Herbert and Henry Blossom collabo-
rated so successfully.
The new opera reverts to a histori-
cal period in Ireland's history, those
thrilling days of 1898, when a young
Irishman, Barry O'Day. filled with pa
triotism for the land that gave him
birth, is at the head of a band of
faithful patriots in their fight for
freedom. How he outwitted the Brit
ish Redcoats who are hunting him
down to hang him, and when his own
wits fail him how he is helped by the
efforts of the many pretty colleens
who admire him, forms the basis of
an interesting plot full of romance
and history.
Anyone who knows Victor Herbert's
past achievements-and who does
not ?-will easily ,surmise what this
brilliant Irish composer has done with
his score.
For many years Victor Herbert has
cherished an ambition to write an
Irish opera. In Eileen" he has done
more than that. He has not adapted,
and arranged and su~per-arranged the
familiar Irish music, the music that
we know by strains, but he has caught
the spirit of Irish music and arranged
it to suit himself.
To very few men is this privilege
given, to sound the heart of a nation
and to make of that sound a harmo-
ny-Victor Herbert, though, has fully
accomplished it in eileen" with re-
markable and true fidelity.
Joe Weber has provided for the
rightful presentation of this new op-
era three elaborate scenes, all of Irish
locale. He has also assembled a very
large company, which numbers over
100 persons, and of great individual
merit. Walter Scanlon is the Barry
O'Day and makes of it a living char
acter. He possesses a magnificent
tenor voice of wonderful range and is
a joyful contribution to the ranks of
light opera. Miss Olga Roller not
only sings, but looks the part of the
English lady of title as she befriends
the Irish hero because she loves him,
in her Irish castle. Miss Grace Breen,
lately recruited from the concert
stage, is at once a joy and delight as
Eileen Mulvaney. Others in the cast
are Algernon Grieg, Greek Evans,
Scott Welsh. Edward Martindel, Lou
Use Allen, and a large and rretty cho-
rus who sing and dance as well as
they look.
