' 2125-2t-12-16 STAND UP FOR CAPE MAY COUNTY , The employment of three Camden ' detectives at the cost of several hundreds of dollars per month is' a burden on the county to which the Board of Freeholders object. The protectorate of 1 Camden County, over that of Cape May, 1 which we thought had ended sometime * ago, is galling enough without an army ' of detectives who do not seem to be ' doing much detecting. It is high time ' that Cape May County was asserting ' itself and demanding proper recognition in all departments, from the State. It climber in taxable values from the | foot of the list of twenty-one counties 1 to number 11 and has as many men of ability and brains as any other county. We have not a single State institution . in this county, and every time it is sugi gested that one should be placed here ' the representatives of counties which are running down grade rather than up are immediate in their opposition. We could name counties readily enough , which are not paying as much tax, by a considerable majority as Oape May county, which nevertheless have their hands out for everything the State has. to give and ofter lands the gifts, while the tendency ia to pass Cape May county with a shrug. It is up to our people c to stand up sturdily for the rights of the county and to resent vigorously this insolent domination and neglect. Senator Stevens is leading well in this di8 rect;on 1 HERE'S A TIP ABOUT . HOTEL GUESTS j In the January American Magazine a "Here's a funny thing, by the way, that I've noticed about hotel guests: rg You leave a soiled towel in a room, and the guest will probably complain. But you can lea ve a bucket of paint and a paper-hanger's scaffold in the hallway, ^ and compel the guest to crawl under a stepladder to get to his room, and he ^ will put up" with it cheerfully — -beeauep he knowns you are punting or papering by way of making an improvement, and be is in sympathy with that. It does if not cost much to make over a carpej, so js that a bare spot in front of the dresser ■e will be eliminated, but such little ded tails are aj vast help in making a hotel i- prosper." j o Mr. Joseph Grant, of Windsor avenue, who has been here for some time, ret turned to his home in Elizabeth, N.

Street Theatre,' Philadelphia, wffl be Mrs. Fiske and her splendid supporting company in .Marian de Forests comedy, "Erstwhile Susan," which is a dramatization of Helen R. Martin's novel of Pennsylvania Dutch life entitled "Barnabetta." The engagement of Mr*. Fiske and her coumany will begin with a matinee perf^rnVnce on Christmas Day and there will be an extra matinee on New Year1? Day, besides the usual matinees on Wednesday* and Saturdays. Mm. Fiske, now under the directioq of the new managerial firm of Madison Corey and Joseph Riter, returns, in her present play, to the high comedy style : of acting in which she has been- seen at intervals, with brilliant success', during notable career. It is. safe to saV that never before has she delighted her admirers more thoroughly than by he? of -Juliet Miller, an elo- ' cutionist from Iowa, who comes to upand to bring gaiety and kindliness to the little Pennsylvania Dutch town ' of Reinharts Station. Technically the role is one of the most difficult that Mrs. Fiske has ever essayed, since its successful interpretation necessitates a sustained emotional purpose through scenes of the most whimsical comedy. The love story of the play concerns Barnsbetta, a pretty and wistful Cinderella of the Pennsylvania Dutch — played by Miss Madeline Delmar — transformed from a household drudge into a hsppy, fascinating and thoroughly emancipated young woman through the agency of the elocutionist, who marries father, hard-fisted old Barby Dreary, for the sole purpose of about the release from drudcry of the girl. The play is said to he very acurate picture of life in certain of the smaller Pennsylvania Dutch communities and it is written in such a spirit of genial good humor that even the originals of the characters might well enjoy the performance. "Erstwhile Susan' was staged under the personal direction of Harrison Grey who produced all of Mrs. Flake's earlier successes. Among the more important members of the large supportcompany are Walter Wilson, Henry Robert 6 to we Gill, John Daly Murphy, Hugh Cbilvera, Rikel Kent, Sol Aiken, Madeline Delmar, Wylda Millison, Anita Clarendon, Anne Reader, Stirling Clarke, Virginia Chauvenet and Eleanor McMurtrie.
