an Old Quaker, Near Paisley, N. j..
Special to the JERSEY city Ns,os.
MOUNT HOLLY. Sept. 3. l892.-There is
considerable activity at the town of Pals
ley. the village in the Jersey Pines where
so many people have been victimized in
buying lots. Some time ago seven men
came here and rented an old shanty. They
ored TO learn from the Inhabitants the lay
of the land and its history. After a time
they began to dig holes in the ground.
and the villagers could not understand
what 1t all meant; bnt one of the party a
day or WI since disclosed the fact TO an
acquaintance that they were after a hid
den treasure, the amount being $85, 900 in
British gold, which they claim to have
located at White Horse Field, the place
now known as Paisley.
An old document was found, it is al
legged, which located the spot in a vague
manner; and from what information can
be gathered the gold seekers believe they
are on the right track as several coins
lave been found during their digging
operations. During the Revolutionary War
an old Quaker named John Ball located
at this place and engaged in business.
His presence was obje ,eionable to the
soldiers and he was con- elled to leave
for other quarters, and before going he
buried his wealth; and the old document
that has been found is said to be in rela-
tion to the whereabouts of the money.
Over a hundred large holes have been
dug. but the many idle loungers who view
the scene do not expect that the ex-
ploreTs will meet with success.

Judge Werts, Letter.

We print in news colu INNS today
an important letter from Judge
George T. Werts in which he renews
his previous declarations regarding
the Gubernatorial nomination. In
writing it, Judge Werts is animated
by the double motive Of personal
honor and party loyalty. The former
in addition to his own personal
desires-would make it impossible for
him to accept the nomination. The
latter required him to explicitly de-
clare his position not only before the
convention assembled, but even be-
fore any considerable number of
Democrats had finally committed
themselves to his candidature.
In his letter to ex-senator William
D. Edwards, Judge Werts most en-
phatically renews and reafirms the
declarations of his letter to Mr.. Louis
A. Vogt, written in June. The ex-
pressions of the letter to Mr.. Vogt are
emphatic in the last degree. Here
they are:-
I am not a candidate, do not desire the Office,
and WILL NOT ACCEPT THE NOMINATION..
But there is one passage of Judge
Werts' letter to Edwards which is
eve more significant. It is that
wherein he says
lido not wish my name to be used in OPP
position to the candidacy of Mr.. Young or any
other gentleman. 1 mention Mr.. Young par
ticularly because am aware that his candidacy
was subsequent to and because of the publica-
ton of my letter to Mr.. Vogt.
In other words, Judge Werts hay
ing once expressly retired from the
race, and Mr.. Young's friends having
launched him in it on the express I'M
Outstanding that Judge Werts was out
by his W volition, the Judge feels
that it would not be honorable or just
on his part to allow his name to be
used now to compass MI. Young's de-
feat.
In this matter the Judge has shown
himself, as in all the other acts of his
career, to be a man of the highest
honor and a sterling democrat. OF
course his present stand is final. 1t
not only binds himself but cuts off
also those who were looming his can
didacy for their own ends. To at
tempt to force him into nomination
now would be simply an insult to him.

The Revival of "Patlence."

Another artistic and financial triumph
has been scored by the Henry E. Dixey
Opera Company at Palmer's Theatre.
Last Tuesday evening a crowded house of
the most critical description sat in judg-
ment upon Manager Askin's revival of
Gilbert and SulIivan's aesthetic master-
piece, ''Patience." The verdict was uni
v~ersally favorable and it now LOOKS as
though the satire on the erstwhile lily
craze, will play to business

DiXey~ ACCOMPLISHED it and with some

GllDertian idea. 1t was clean cut and
original both in makeup and intsrpre-
tation. Miss Lenore Snyder's Patience"
was as a bit of Dresden china. Miss Sny-

CIose of the Season at EIdorado.

Now that the close OF the season at Ell
dorado is at hand it will be marked
by especially brilliant perform
ances of EGYPT Through Centuries"
Much labor has been expended by Man
ager Walker to improve the running of
the play and add to its beauty. All of
the new dances in the ballets are very
pretty. The spectacle has been greatly
changed and as it is now presented it Is
by far the most elaborate and beautiful
ever ATTEMPTED on this continent.
The weather during the past week has
been all that could be asked. aud in con-
sequence the attendance has been very
large. A. very substantial reason for the
prosperity of that resort is the fact that
there is an evident effort on the part of
the management to please the public.
The pilgrim who sought the coun5fy or
the seaside early in the siring is now a
daily visitor at the place. Fashionable
throngs promenade the p ietty walks OF
the park every afternoon, dine at the res
taurant and later look in on the great
stage as Centuries of Egypt roll by with
the dazzling marches. brilliant scenes
and m~ultitudinous and artistic tablets.
The usual ope saiic concert will be given
tomorrow afternoon and evening in
which a number of prominent singers
will take part besides Theodore Hoch the
eminent cornetist aud the Eidorado
band Of nifty. There is no better place
about New York to find ar entertainment.
