BASKET BALL. After mucb -persnasian and a promise of good police protection the "old" men's -eiaas of the Presbyterian Sunday $cbool, has decided to appear in public la a game of basket hall as the oppo- , rj ncnta of the young men's class of the same school: "The bunch which thicks I otherwise, but is nevertheless taking this awful chance, consists of "Gllleto" Hughes, playing manager; ex-Couneil-i man Mecray, Senator Stevens, Frank B. i Mecray, king of Stockton Avenue in ( winter; Ihoe. S. Stevens, who Is en- | gaged in a shady business but treats you white; Jay "Ford" Mecray; Oscar "Sauoe" Bailey/and Harry Brown, who is alway^glad to feat you. Of course they think they are "hot stuff" and expect to "clean house" with : the young men, and incidentally demonstrate the game according to their own interpretation, which ' necessitates the , aforesaid police protection. Now what , > they know about the game is notfoimd ] . in the rule books. Besides they use a unique method of training for the con- j test. Instead of nging all their wind ] in practice they save it 'np for the game. , That is good logic. Reminds one of the « man who on seeing a stove advertised to < . save half the coal, bought two and saved it all. In selecting flowers to j place beside the remains, Italian for- < get -me -note (the breath of a nation) arc j appropriate. | This -attraction will be -staged in the « Washington Street -Hall, Thursday, Maruh 30th, at 8 AO p. m. One price of • 15 cents will be levied <|* each observer | of the battle. "Hie proceeds, including the royalty on the motion pictures, for f the benefit of the Presbyterian Church." ( * 3 THE PLAN IS VICIOUS. ] — Iwu- ■ Democratic politicians and newspspi% ' ■ are still making a great ado over the ■ refusal of the Senate to confirm the ap1 pointment of a Camden lawyer as i Prosecutor of Cape May County. The l charge that the Republican Senators i • are "playing politics" hi holdfng up the 1 appointment of the Camden Democrats, : named by Governor Fielder, is ratber 1 > amusing, inasmuch as the latter, ignor- • ing a number of competent Republicran ! . lawyers of Cape May, went all jhe way 1 • to Camden to find a Democratic lawyer i to send into the county to act as Prosi ecutor. 1 ! While not without precedent the plan 1 i of going outside of a county to appoint ■ a lawyer to serve ss Prosecutor of the 1 I Pleas for such county, because no law- iI yer of the same political persuasion as . the Governor ' to be found resident I ' i therein, is vicious. i It was followed in the case of the | i late Prosecutor -of Cape May whose | 1 ; I prison sentence on graft charges has I , just been affirmed by the Courts of Er- j ' j rors and Appeals, and it has been fol- . ! , | lowed in a few other instances. The j • principle is inherently bad. however, i \ and the citizens of Cape May County ; ' I are fully justified in tficir openly ex- j , | pressed opposition. So far as "playing , • ! politics" is concerned. Governor Fielder I j started it when, ignoring qualified Republican lawyers, members of the Cape 1 | May bar. he went to a far-off county to i I • find a Democrat who measured up to . 1 his narrow partisan requirements. — Mt.
