AS the third topic in his series
Of traveIogues now being given in
this city, Mr.. Burton Holmes pro
poses to give his audiences not
only a most delightful pictorial
treat, but also to open their eyes
to the beauties Of country and
the personal charm of a most In
teresting people about whom
Americans know practically moth
ing. Hungary has been, for cen.
turtles, land Of romance, possess
ing national history and tradi-
tions Of athe most marvellous
achievements; while Americans in
variably associate the word
Hungary" most prominently
with gypsy orchestras, goulash
and paprika. Hungary and the
Hungarians, as a nation and as a
people, share the honors of the
highest type of civilization with
their larger sister nations of Eu-
rope. Nowhere in the world is
there finer city than Budapest;
nowhere are the people more
highly educated, well dressed and
well housed: nowhere in the world
Is there a finer parliament build

nowhere is there a race of people
more genial, hospitable and low
able, both at work and at play.
Burton Holmes will give 1.-THE

Theater Sunday afternoon at $3.50
and again In the evening at $50.

MATAWAN, Sept. 21-IndicationsI
at this time are that very little in
terest will be taken in the primary

this is the fact that there are but

more than a passing interest as far
as the voters here are concerned.
What contests there are lie between
candidates for the nomination of
county Offices and as far as the Dor
ough election itself is concerned
there are no contests to stir local in
terest.
On the official primary ballot of
the Democratic party there are con-
tests for the nomination of state sem
ator and f%reeholders and on the Re
publican ballots there are contests
for the nomination of assemblymen,
sheriff and f~reeholders. The ballots
for the primary contests read as fol-
lows:
