There are many friends and members of
the Palma Club who think the selling of
tickets to their reception on the 9th
serious mistake. One of the recognized
society leaders, lady who contributed
very largely to The success of the fair, was
overheard to say the other evening that
Hshe would not attend two-dollar ball.
AT last Mr.. John II. Laird, of Monmouth,
the Secretary of the Democratic State Com
mittee, has found the long earned and
much yearned for acquisition. He was
Assembly as Clerk of that body. But as
the Republicans had the majority, friend
John had to content himself with the
honor.
1t was hardly fair in Mr. Winfield to de-
nounce the verdict in the Am Ende case
when opening to The jury in the case Of
Henry Wildberger, the poor German in
dicted for manslaughter for the killing of
Mrs. Lambrix. If there ever was case
of accidental killing, this was one, and it
did seem harsh that the jury should be
called upon to visit upon WiIdbergersthe
sins committed in the Am Ende verdict.
Mr.. William Utz and his partners 10 the
carting business have been awarded the

lie stores landed ia the port of New York
which includes the entire water front of
New York City, Brooklyn, Staten Island
and the Jersey shore La the bid for the
work, which will amount to over 800. 600
during the two years term of the contract,
they underbid the New York Transfer

The New York sStaats Zeitung." in an
able editorial, denounces the verdict in the
Am Ende case, and prophesies that great
evil will result therefrom. Yet the man
who wrote that article is the most intimate
personal friend of Am Ende, and reiolces
at the acquittal. 1t was he who found Mr..
Am Ende when under the Influence OF
poison, aud to him the unfortunate drug
gist confessed his foolish act. Wereit not
for his timely interference Am Ende would
undoubtedly have died. And from that
time the editor aided and comforted the
wretched man as only devoted and SYM
pathizing friend knows how. Yet, never
theless, he understood his duty to the pub
lie, and like a Conscientious journalist he
ignored his private feeliEgsand deprecated
the action of the jury, although he knew
better than anyone else that such a course
would greatly intensity the grief of bis
stricken friend.
Judge McGill fled an opinion in the
case of Howell against Father KilIeen, of
Bayonne. which is in every way a note
worthy legal document, He sets aside the
will which Mrs. Howard made on her
death bed in the presence of Father Xii
leen's curate. and in which her husband
was disinherited, and the house and lot
that was in her own name, but earned by
the husband, was given to the church. Ii
will be remembered that the curate re-
fused to testify what passed between him
self and Mrs. Howard just before the docu
ment was drawn, on the plea that he could
not divulge the secrets of the'Confessional
While Judge McGill makes no legal point
against this dogma of the Catholic Church
he nevertheless holds that under the pecu.
liar circumstances it was incumbent upoI
| the beneficiaries to show that they used M
! undue influence upon Mrs. Howard in tn,
making of the will, and having declined
10 offer that testimony. the Court felt con
strained to refuse to probate the will Tht
document in question is full of scholarl,
| research, carefully reviewing the laws o.
inheritance from the days of ancient Rome
to the present period.
1t must be apparent to all who are famil
! liar with the business of our criminal
courts that some radical punishment fo
wife heaters should be devised, and tha
our present mode of punishment for tina
cowardly and detestable crime is entirely
inadequate. Here in our own county tina
| crime has increased to such an extent tina
hardly day passes but what one or NOR,
of these miserable whelps are arraigHeC
| for trial, and there are many instance
where one and the same offender has beer
repeatedly convicted of the same offense
AS in nearly every instance these offender
| belong to the poorer classes and have
| large families dependant upon them fo
| support, the Court is soreIy perplexeC
what to do with them. The bruised and
| battered wife invariably pleads for hel
brutal husband, for once the wounds heal
cd, she remembers what fate awaits hel
and Der children if he is imprisoned. Il
is the poorhouse. Yet this crime leads to
murder, and must be stopped. Let the
Legislature divest itself of all maudlin
sentimentality and ordain the lash for the
wife heater. Such lesson he will never
forget. He will never incur its repetition.
Give US the whipping post An humanity
crime deserves unmanly punishment.
Much merriment was recently created
in Hoboken by clever trick played by
Mr.. William Hexamer, the riding master,
upon Miss Anna Sierck, the most popular
equestrienne of his class. She had been
riding old "Buckskin" for years, and posi-
lively declared that she would not mount
the old schooler again, as he was old and
stiff jointed, and his bobbed tail was fast
growing bare. Mr.. Hexamer consoled
Miss Sierck by promising her that at the
next meet of the club she should have a
fiery charger recently imported from Ken
lucky. The eventful night came and with
it fine new ''Buckskin," with a flowing
tail and white star upon his forehead,
attributes of beauty not possessed by the
old horse. Miss Sierck mounted in high
glee, and after cantering about the acad-
envy refined up before Mr. Hexamer and
expressed her delight at the action of the
new brute. and enumerated his many
superior points over the old animal. Sud
denly the hostler at The head of the horse
whipped out q sponge and in the twink
ling of an eye washed off the star. while
at the same moment Mr.. Hexamer drew
off the flowing tail and exposed old Buck
skin" in all his ugliness. The scene can
be better imagined than described.
