so well described by Mr. Surette in his

The interest and value of Mr. Sur-el'e's
lectures on the great composers

be forgotten by those who were so for-tunate
as to attend his course. Doubt-less
nothing more enjoyable has ever
been presented In our town. It Is the

still further illustrate and emphasize
by this concert the works of the com-poser
of whom his lectures treated. No
doubt a large audience will lie present

Dr. Benjamin I<ee, secretary of the
Slate Board of Health. Dr. George
Woodward, of Philadelphia Common
Council, and Dr. A. C. Abbott, Phila-delphia
city bacteriologist, addressed
Norrlstown Town Council on Tuesday
night in accordance with instructions
from Mayor Ashbrldge, in reference
to the pollution of the Schuylkill rlv
er, and asked that Norrlstown take
nction by establishing a sewage dls
poBal plant.
Frank L. Smith, of Norrlstown
Council, replied that Mr. Woodward
should go to his council and Inform
them that when they take care of the
pollution of the river by from 100 to
300 cesspools between Shawmont and
Queen I.ane Reservoir, within the
confines of Philadelphia, then Norrls-town
and doubtless all other towns
and settlements along the river would
take action in purifying the stream.
Dr. Woodward In reply stated thai
the pollution Is to be abated by con-nection
with the Manayunk intercept-ing
sewer.
Dr. Abbott made a scientific address
on sewerage disposal, and Dr. Lee
rend a lengthy paper pleading thai
Norrlstown should act from a human-itarian
standpoint.
The matter was referred to the San-itary
Commltte, where it will rest for
some time, as that committee receives
but |840 annual appropriation.
"One Hundred Veins Ago," a drama

of character acting. He was re-warded
with a handsome bunch of car-nations.
Mr. John Quinn as Ephriam, his son.
who Is consumed with patriotic- ardor

dramatic.
Mr. Corrigan Impersonated [Qlmei
Granger, a young patriot from Con
cord, and as the hero, sets ablaze the
lires of patriotism In the Quaker house-hold,
carries by storm the heart of the
Quaker's daughter, and had much to
do foiling the villainous mai hina
lions. As Uriel Boswortli, Mr. I)c-laney
gave a most praiseworthy per-formance,
being fully up to the stand-ard
of the conventional stage villain.
The climaxes between Elmer and Bos-worth
were highly dramatic.
Mr. John Meyers, whose talents for
comedy Is well known, was irresistibli
as Ginger, a Negro. Mr. John Kelly,
as Pretzel, a Dutchman, was most
laughable. In the hands of these twi

that this borrower will pay back

Lde past as well as upon grounds of po-litical
expediency. His leading oppo-nent,
Mr. J. F. Vorhees, of Lowei
Providence, was, to put the case truth-fully
ami plulnly, master of the situa-tion
because it had been understood
all along that the new Director. Mr.
Meier, woulu support him as would

Stewardship at the- Almshouse. li
was quite clear, therefore, with Mr.
Vorhees persistently in the field to
fight to a finish, a change in the afoot
of Steward would necessarily ensue.
But the Lower Providence candidate
and a few of his close friends listened
to all the arguments pro and con that
could be brought to bear upon the
question—change or no change! And
Ihe result? Why Mr. Vorhees rightly
as well as magnanimously decided ti
withdraw his name in behalf of Mr.
Alderfer an/! In behalf of the paity
harmony;with the understanding, full
and distinct, of course, that lie was a
very much alive candidate for the po-sition
of Steward next January. His
decision, under the circumstances,
stands out in bold relief In evidence
that he was capable of sacrificing his
own interests for the time being for
what he believed to be the best Inter-ests
of his party. Such procedure is
unusual in the realm of politics—as
■vrll as in most all avenues where the
everlasting "struggle for existence'
holds sway. And such action must In
due time bring its own reward in the
line of political preferment. Mr. Vor-hees
proved himself capable of doing
the right thing under very pronouncexl
difficulties and he deserves much cred-it
for so doing.

Ainher Woman'. Husband
What was certainly the most inter-esting
scene at the Opera House in
Norrlstown on Monday night came
unannounced between the acts.
While everybody was chatting, wait-ing
for the curtain to rise, a striking
looking woman walked down the 0OD
tre aisle, with a detective closely fol-lowing.
The detective seemed consid-erably
abashed, but the woman was
too intent on her errand to notice that
the eyes of the house were upon her.
She turned with her back to the cur-tain,
facing the audience, and point-ed,
with excellent drumatlc effect,
straight at a young man sitting with
a girl In the fifth orchestra row.
"There he Is," the Indignant woman
said to the detective, while the now
silenced audience listened; "that man
with the girl is my husband. Take
them both out with us."
It was curious to observe the affec
on the persons pointed out. The man
turned white and threatened to col-lapse.
The young woman with iiin.
got very red In the face. They both
rose, however, and hurried out be
hind the detective and the wife.
Mrs. Lizzie McConnell, of Philadel-phia,
was the woman who found her
husband. Norman McConnell. He bad
been missing from home several weeks
The girl who by going to the theatre

plight says she was deceived by him.

Joseph 1 .amour, a drover, having in

Railroad, a short distance below
