He HAS BEEN At THE FAIR
Judge Rogers Enthusiastic Over Big
Columbian Show.
PARIS EXHIBITION A SIDE SHOW.
Expense Of Seeing the Fair Is Not What
It Has Been Represented by Jealous
New York Papers-One Can spend ~
Little or as Much as He Pleasea

| Judge Horatio Rogers has returne d
from Western trip which included n
visit to the Worlds fair. The judge Is
enthusiastic in his ecomi lms upon the
success OF the big show. He went to
| Chicago with the intention of remainin @
| not more than three days in the city at
most, but the 81 Its and sounds in the
White City were too attractive to b, re-
| sisted and eight days elapsed before the
| Judge could tear himself away.
'It is the most magnificent spectacle
| that the world has ever witness ID )" said
his honor To a small group OF listeners in
the ccurt room to lay. 1T seems MS III the
nations Of The earth have tried tn surpass
themselves. No previous exposition can
compare with it in magnitude OF concsp-
ito and fidelity in execution. .
Paris Exposition n Side show.
"The great Paris exhibition is a mere
wonderful city that has grown up al
most in n night. IL is a field IL which
one may wander for weeks. and still
leave many wonderful hooks unexplored.
No city in the world but Chicago could
have accomplished this stup ,ndous re.
suit. The impregnab'e faith OF its peo-
pie in their future Is the handspring
mighty wouder OF the century. But l
think that Chicago has surpassed even
her rself.
Millions of Money Spent.
"Milions of dollars have been ex-
&c dtd to bring the show to it's present
state OF perfection. Money and labor
have been poured into the enterprise Ike
water The delays in completing the
details rendered the opening month IA
poor criterion by which to judge the sue
cess OF the fair, bu1 there is no longer
any reason why persons who can afford
the time aud expense should delay the
trip. Everyone should 20.
"Thr expense of seeing the fair is not
what il has been represented to be by
certain jealous New York papers. You
may spend little or much as you choose
Fiuy ceuts is all that Is necessary
To pay TO see the exposition
propsr Tn, rest i, mere side
show, and unless you have the
whole summer o spend In the city you
will have no time to throw ay on the
Midway Plasance. Acc cclnmodations
may be found almost anywhere TO suit
your pockctb )ok and your tastes.
You may spend 50 day, or
s25 dsy as you see fit. The cry OF high
rates has emanated for the mos part
fiom hostile critics who have "a jealous
interest , antagonizlng the enterprise.

An Important Will peci.ion.

An important decision was read in the
Prerogative branch of the Court of Chan
Gerry on Tuesday, by Vice Ordinary, Vice
Chancellor Van Fleet. Harrison Rob-
bins, of Merchantyille, made a will on
May 3lst, 1892, while suffering from an
illness of which he died on June 18th fol-
lowing. His physician, his counsel and
his son, Frederick, we're present at the
time. He had instructed his counsel on
the day before to draw his will, and on
the same day he told his physician that
he proposed to execute his will and that
be wanted him TO act as witness to its
execution. He fixed the hour of its exc
cution, but the counsel arrived first and
physician arrived Robbins signed the
will in the presence Of all three, sitting
in rocking char. and signed his name
to the will, which lay upon book resting
upon his knees, and while he wrote his
physician and counsel sat directly in front
of him watching him. The will was con-
tested on the ground of undue influence
and want of publication in the manner
required by the statute. The lawyer pos
itively swore that it was published in the
required form, but the physician declared
it was not, as he did not recollect hearing
the counsel repeat the form required by
the statute. The lower court decided
against the contestants and the upper
court sustained the decision, holding that
the publication of a will may be made by
act or sign, as we'll as by words. All that
is required is that the testator shall
make known in any way by which one
mind can communicate with another,
that the writing which he desires the sub
scribing witnesses to attest is his will.
When testator has previously told the
subscribing witnesses that he intends to
execute his will at certain time and
requests them to attend to witness its ex-
ecution, an act done or sign made by
him in their presence at the time and
place appointed may be 80 unmistakable
in it's significance as to speak to them as
plainly as any oral declaration he could
make.
A person who, from inattention or alb
straction, is unconscious and insensible of
what is being done and said when publ
cation is made, does not witness it, and
cannot of course testify that 1t was made.

Coroner. Inauest.

Coroner Hibberd investigated the death
of the infant child of Essie Pembleton,
on Wednesday. The jury sat at the Court
House.
The testimony showed that the child
was born on the 10Th of March, at the
house of Charles Butler, whose wife is the
sister of Essie Pembleton. When the
baby was month old his mother went
to the house of William Kicks, in the
same neighborhood. and there the infant
died.
Up to the week of his death, the moth
or was with the child, attending to his
wants, but on the Monday before he died,
she went out to service, leaving the baby
in charge Of Lille Colburn, a child about
10 years of age. This arrangement was
for the day time only.
That the child was neglected was evil
dent from the testimony of Mrs. Kicks,
who said Lille was on the street great
deal of the time, and did not attend to
her business. On Saturday, May Is, Mr..
Kicks went into q room to get paint
brush, when he noticed something on the
floor covered with cloth, which he re-
moved and found under it the dead body
Of the baby. This was about o'clock.
He at once went to DR.. Darlington to So
cure a certificate of death, which that
physician declined to give until he had
seen the body. He went TO Kicks house.
and what he saw led him to the belief
that the coroner should be notified.
That official arrived and ordered an au-
topsy, which revealed the fact that the
baby had died of starvation. His stomach
was empty, and the witnesses all testified
that he had not been fed since Friday, al
though there was milk in the house,
bought for his use. There we're other
ways in which the baby was neglected.
Lille Colburn, the girl in whose charge
the baby was left. told the jury her story.
She says she gave the baby milk every
day but Saturday, when Mrs. Kicks told
her she need not feed him. She had done
all she knew how to do for the baby, and
did not think his death was due TO her
neglect or inattention. Thejury rendered
the following verdict 1--WE, the jury sum-
moned to inquire into the death of Leroy
Pembleton, son Of Esaie Pembleton, who
died on Saturday. May ID, 1898. at her

The Mil Hands.

Mr.. Editor Il have read with regret
an editorial in the Dispatch of the 18th
instant, in which the editor charges the
Imported mill hands," employed at the
Burlington Carpet Works, with conduct.
which if true, would be without parallel.
The accusation is of the vilest nature and
evidently emanates from brain permeat-
ed with a deep-seated prejudice against
the mill hands generally, and is without
one iota of truth.
There are as many moral men and vir-
tuous women employed in that factory as
can be found in any mill of like size in
New Jersey people, the sanctity of whose
homes and the purity of whose conduct
will compare with the best.
If these are the lines that the embryo
editor of the Dispatch has laid down for
himself, he will ere long find himself
brought to with sudden jerk.
The Burlington Carpet Company en-
ploys between 300 and 400 hands. and
there could not be found among them FIVE
men guilty of one-half the conduct
charged to them by the Dispatch.
AS a lover of truthfulness and fair play.
| ask you to insert these few lines in your
next issue. GEO. A. WRIGHT.
