similar to the Smith Estate.

The long pending dispute over the will
of Thaddeus Stevens has been settled by
the Supreme Court, and in favor of sus-
tanning that provision of the document
STIMULATING that in case the residue of his
estate should amount to $50, 600 it be APP
piled to the erection of an industrial home
for boys. The requirement was that the
home should be free to boys regardless Of
race, color, or nationality; that they
should eat at the same table and should
have proper education IN whatever trade
they might desire to follow. The execu-
tors claimed that the estate could not pay
the $50 600, unless certain interest could
he obtained The heirs claimed that this
interest must not go for the home. The
estate has been in litigation for 26 years.
1t was from Thaddeus Stevens that H.
B. Smith claimed to have gained his idea
of founding the school mentioned in his
will The Smith will has been in the
courts since 1887, and a decision is now
pending on the construction of the will.

Hahn the Band.

Mount Holly never had a frst-class
band, and for several years past has had
none at all. A few months ago an organ
ization was formed under the leadership
of Eugene q. Gibbs, that gives promise OF
being the best band in South Jersey. Al
ready it is rendering class of music that
similar organizations in the county do not
undertake to play, and the rendition is
first-class, too.
Feeling that the efforts of the members
should be encouraged and financial assis-
tauce given to defray expenses until the
band can be made self-sustaining, an out
side organization has been formed, with
the following officers: President, Joseph
G. Kingdom; vice president Edward ID.
Stokes; treasurer, Joseph c. Cowgirl; sec
rotary, Harry L. Walters; advisory board,
DR.. w. P. Melcher, Charles K. Chambers,
Edward F. Burns, Joseph G. Bower, Elton
]. Buckley and Frank A. Foy.
During this week paper will be pre-
scented to citizens asking them to con-
tribute for one year the sum of five cents
per week, to be collected monthly. This
oil an has been adopted because it is
thought the people of the town desire to
have a good band in their midst, and be-
cause without some such backing the or
ganization cannot flourish.
During the winter the band will give a
concert In the opera house. to which each
of the weekly contributors will be gwen
a free reserved seat ticket. Any other
courtesies that the band can give will he
shown to the contributors. Next summer
open air concerts will be given regularly.

Court Notes.

The grand jury took a recess from
Thursday until yesterday.
The petit jurors were excused last week
until tomorrow, when the trial of indict
ments will begin.
The grand jury found an indictment
against William Massey for the murder Of
Lizzie Holloway, of Bordentown, anc
then reconsidered and reversed the action
The new set of rules adopted by the
court give general satisfaction, except to 6
few lawyers who have had an idea thai
they owned the entire premises, court In
Guided
No indictment was found against Viii
liam Moles, who cut Walter Meeks, o.
Bridgeboro, to such an extent that the
latter died of his injuries. The grand
jury held that Moles was justified in hi
action, as Meeks was the aggressor.
Charles Burnick, witness in the con
tested license case from Riverside, OF
Friday, failed to answer when called, anC
the court was about to issue a benct
warrant for him, when the young man APP
peared, and explained that be missed thu

manner, their licenses would be revoked
and once having reached that state there
would not be any reinstatement.
No new licenses will be granted, as
there are enough drinking places already,
and there is no disposition to increase
the number merely to make tipping
places. Where new license is applied
for, the Court, knowing the lack of neces-
sity for an increase, will settle the ques-
ton without a long trial, as heretofore,
taking up time and involving expense.
There is a difference between old and
new places. When a man has been keep
ing house for several years and there is
objection to his license being granted,
then it would be no more than fair to
hear bis side of the case.
Another custom of liquor dealers was
referred to-that of giving beer and other
drinks away on Sunday. The Werts law
says plainly that no liquor dealer has a
right to even give his wares away on
Sunday. This violation of the law will be
looked into hereafter, and after again
warning saloon keepers not to sell any
thing except what is mentioned in their
license, the court proceeded to pronounce
its decision.
The applications of Jesse Wells to keep
hotel in Mount Holly, and Richard T.
Pearson, to keep hotel in Bridgeboro,
were withdrawn.
The applications for saloon license of
Frank P. Howell, Mount Holly and
Matthew Clyde, Florence, were rejected.
Mrs Daniel Harrington applied for a
wholesale license for the place on Water
street, Mount Holly formerly kept by her
husband, Daniel Harrington. Judge Gas
kill remarked that this was place that
had borne a bad reputation, and it was
better to keep it closed.
Patrick Fitzpatrick applied for trans
fer to himself of Charles Seaman's license
to sell malt liquor on Washington street.
The court decided that this was another
saloon that was not needed and Patrick
was allowed to withdraw his application.
Charles E. Berry, of Mount Holly, was
given until next Saturday to prove that
he had the legal number of signatures to
his petition. Judge Gaskill said that he

The newspaper invitation to
the "FSrst VieaO of Paris
Dresses and Wrabs'' was a
genuine surprise to this com
munity.
The high character of the col
lection as whole, was a still
greater surprise.
We had already shown many
rich Costumes. Some others
had also been seen here and
in New York. The Autumn
Openings we're supposed to
be over, when, Presto Sud-
denly, without notice, an "Oc-
casion" in Costumes, more COM
plete, elegant, novel and COM
prehensive than all others COM
bined, bursts upon you. Ev-
cry woman to whom this store
is accessible should visit this
exhibition.
This collection is a
Stock to Sell
and not merely a lot OF
Models TO Copy.
The great quantity OF fine
Wraps and Costumes sold by us
to New York and Washington
is a recognition that our stock
of Women's Paris Garments is
the best in America.
The critics were here, and es-
pecially prominent among them
we're trade representatives.
Some of their sayings were
overheard. Here are speci-
mems:
Think of the nerve required in these hard
times to bring such collection to
Philadelphia.
Congratulate you upon your gems of art.
Each Costume is a study.
Just like Wanamaker's. No half way.
Simple but exquisite.
The Dresses look as if made for American
women.
Worth your while TO come. Always some
thing new here.
Perhaps it is little cheap to
quote these compliments-but
there is a proper Wilderness in
The collection IS great-but
you don't see half OF it. The
birds, flowers and plants occu-
Ply some of the room. They
are so sweet and beautiful that
we do not grudge them the
space. Do you ?

Gambling at Fairs,

Judge Albeit deemed it his duty to cal
the attention of the Mercer county granc
jury to the gambling devices that were al
lowed to exist at the Interstate Fair
He said
"The attention of the court has beer
called to the complaint that at the last
fair gambling and cheating devices, in de
fance of the law, were carried on con
tinuously during the continuation of the
fair. You should investigate this com
plant and. if you find 1t true, indict
every one. You should go beyond this
and. if you find it has been carried on
with the consent, connivance or permits
sion of those in care of the grounds o,
the police who were paid and put there
to maintain law and order, indict them
also.
"The fair is one of pride to the commu
nifty, but all the good that comes from il
would be of no use if the grounds are al
lowed to be scenes of habitual violation
of law The time has come to make the
fact known in some way that it must
cease. If you find that any person car.
ried on such gambling, they should be
indicted without question and immedi
ately The peace officers who walked
around and saw the violations, should be
indicted. as should any one in charge, il
responsible"
