LIST. The reason teachers examin-
alton is more frequent than a law
yers, is that the teacher usually min
giles with pupils who are his interiors
as to mental growth hence the adj
vantage of frequent examinations.
While on the part of the lawyer he is
brought face to face with his peers and
superiOrs, where he is compelled to
buckle on the armor, and rise above
surrounding circumstances or drag out
a miserable existence on mere pit
lance as the poor teacher does.
I'd. AS to the teachers examination
being more difficult than that of the
lawyers, we think is all tafty.

knocked down, trodden upon and severely

Railroad Items.

Railroad Items.
Thomas Weir, eighty-one years of age,
who has been for forty-ive years in the
employ ofthe Pennsylvania Railroad and
the old United Companies, which former
ly had the road, has been given pension
of $45 month by the company.
The Pennsylvania Company are now
building all their passenger coaches one
foot narrower than the ordinary pattern,
reducing the width by making the alley
more narrow. The object is to make
the car lighter, and to lessen the resis-
lance. The pattern adopted reduces the
weight 5 per cent. and the resistance fully
10 per cent. yet the coach is just as con-
venient and rides easier than the ordin-
AIRY wide coach.
1t is conceded by all that the passenger
department of the Pennsylvania Railroad
is the most successfully managed of any
road in this or any other country, no
other company studying the wishes of
the travelling public more closely than
do the officials of the passenger depart
ment of this road, and as a result the
passenger earnings Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for June will show an
increase of $4,000 over those of May,
which showed an increase of 100000
over the earnings of the previous month,
while elegance in equipments, and COM
forts for passengers, fast time, ETC., are
made prominent Great economy is
practiced in operating this department
and the business has been managed tc

Base Ball.

While our national game of base ball is
not objected to by residents in the neigh
borhood of the ball grounds in this place,
the language used by the players generally
is 80 revolving and profane that unleas 1t
is stopped and displaced by something
more refined, an effort will be made to
have the game prohibited at that partic-
ular point. Tenants who live within
hearing of the grounds have notified their
landlords that unless the nuisance is
abated they will remove from the neigh.
borhood. If no other remedy can be
found police interference will be resorted
to.
On Saturday every person interested
in base ball should not fail to see the
game between the Typos and the nine Of
the Baptist Publication Society of Phila-
delphia. 1t will be played on the Fair

The Jennen's Heirs.

The Jennens Heirs.
The pleasant and spacious hall al the
southeast corner of Fourth and Market
streets, Camden, was we'll filled on Thurs
day with the descendants of Isaac Jen-
mems, who had assembled to hold their
fifth annual meeting. A large proper
ton of the gathering were women, some
young and handsome aud some old and
venerable. There were but few young
men present, nearly all being old and
substantial looking farmers.
The President being absent the meet
ing was called to order by Vice President
William A. Clark. The report of the
Finance Committee was read. 1t detailed
Counsellor Samuel s. Cooks visit to Eng
land in search of evidence TO establish
the genuineness of the American heirs
claim to the estate and personal property
of William Jennens. While there, Mr..
Cook believes that he has found much
valuable evidence, and, with the assist
ance of two well-known genealogista, he
was almost ready to file his bill of
claim. Having mapped out the policy to
be pursued, he returned to America and
laid his plans before the Finance Com
mittee. He proposed to find an Amer
lean, the nearest male descendant of one
of the Jennens family, and in his name
file the bill.
As soon as the necessary documents
are ready they will be submitted to the
English Minister at Washington for his
attestation, and then be forwarded to
england. The report showed that there
are $50 members of the association. Dur
ing the five years the association has been
in existence Sc, 800 has been collected and
expended.
| The Jennens organization is one which
has for its object the recovery of the real
and personal estate of William Jennens,
deceased, of Acton, England, and its dis
tribution among the descendants and
heirs Of Isaac, Henry, Humphreys, Jr.,
Mary and William Jennens, The great
Jennens was deemed the richest commoner
ever in England, and his death took
place June 10, 1898. He was son OF
Robert Jennens, aid-de-camp to the Duke
of Marlborough, and he died intestate.
The membership in this association is
confined to those who sign the constitu-
ton, bylaws and agreement and who are
the lineal descendants and heirs-at-law OF
Isaac Jennens, of Birmingham, England,
who came to America in 1877, in the ship
Kent, proceeded to Salem, New Jersey

How a Drunken Man was Saved.

How Drunken MAN was saved
William Meighan, drunken man,
threw himself on the down track of the
Pennsylvania railrord'on Monday night
four miles below Burlington. The engi-
neer ofthe halfpsst 7 o'clock train, which
was going at full speed, happening to
catch glimpse of him, stopped at the
next station below Burlington and tele-
graphed news of the fact up the line.
The men in charge of the express leaving
Burlington at a quarter TO s were notified
just as they we're moving out Of the depot.
They cautiously steamed down towards
the spot, and the engineer seeing black
object in front of him on the track put
down the brakes. The train was brought
to stop within foot ofthe object, which
proved to be William Meighan. He was
thrown into baggage car and put out at
the next station. Only for the freight
engineer telegraphing up the road, Meig-
han would have undoubtedly been killed,
as If the train had been going at its usual
speed it would have been impossible to
have stopped in time.

He Meant Well.


A young and energetic farmer living
near Mount Holly, whom we shall call
Isaac for short, planted some watermelon
seed for himself in the early spring, and
his wife learning of the fact, made him
put some cantaloupe seed in the ground
for her benefit as she did not care for
watermelon. Always obedient he com
piled with her request and few days
ago his younger brother went into the

were cucumbers. Isaac will purchase his

While canvassing this city in the
spring of 1852 he met and was impressed
with the appearance of Miss Lima Wolff,

him on Saturday. Miss Wolff became
Mrs. Lippineott in April, 1862, the cere-

Manship, well-known Methodist minis.
ter of this city. Lippincott and his wife
lived together seven years, when he coolly
told her he was weary of her society and
intended to leave her. He went away a
few days later, but before doing so he told
his wife that she had his consent to mar
ry again, at the same time informing her
that he intended to do something of the
kind himself. In January, 1881, he and
Miss Amanda Fowler were married by a
German Reformed minister, who is now
dead. He lived with Miss Fowler very
pleasantly until the fall Of 1881, when he
net another girl, whose personal charms
threw Miss Fowler completely in the
shade. He went away from his second
wife during the winter of 1881, and on
January "a, 1882, was married to Miss
Rebecca S. Thompson.
The Rev. Mr.. Manship, who had mar
ried the festive Lippincott to Miss Wolff
in 1851, performed the ceremony in
his house on Broad street in January,
1881. Lippincott informed the minister
that his first wife had died several years
before. Lippincotfs first and third mar
risges are recorded at the Registers
Office, but the second marriage is not.
He denies that he was married to Miss
Fowler, but she exhibits marriage GER
tifieate bearing the signature of once
well-known minister. From the time
he left his first wife until he was arrested
with the third on Stevens street, Lippin-
colt has not been out of the city, and al
though two of his wives lived in the
Twenty-ninth ward, the second one did
not ascertain his whereabouts until few
days ago, when she had him arrested.
The brother of his first wife and the
second and third women the prisoner de-
ceived we're in the station house on Sat-
urday when Lippincott was examined,
but their presence did not abash him in
the least. He said he did not like his
first wife and thought he was treating her
very fairly when he told her he had no
objection to her marrying again. He
also declared that he had offered to assist
in supporting her, but she declined to
accept aid from him. This last state
ment the friends of the wife deny most
emphatically. He smilingly declared
that he did not know that it was crime
for a man to marry second time while
his first wife is living without divorce.
