DROPPED DEAD.
Christian Bessi, the old Sexton, Died
Suddenly Friday Morning.
Died

Suddenly Friday Morning.
of st. Johns German Lutheran Church
died suddenly at his home, No. Is Kienz-
les Lane. Friday morning, between nine
and ten o'clock.
Mr.. Bessi was making arrangements to
prepare dinner for his sons and himself,
and was out in the yard in rear of his
residence. Mr.. Alonzo Willis, who lives
near, was sitting by a window reading,
when he noticed the old man lying upon
the ground. He went to him and found
he was dead.
Mr.. Bessi was widower, and lived
there with his three soons, ranging from
II to 25 years of age.
His wife died eight or ten years ago,
and Mr.. Bessi looked after the house
work himself, having no female help.
Two of his sons worked at Cox's foundry
and the other at East Lake Glass Works.
The boys were summoned, as was also DIR.
Thompson. The body was carried into
the back shed.
DIR. Thompson found that death had
resulted from paralysis of the heart, due
to old age; he had been treating him be-
fore for heart trouble. Only about three
weeks ago DR.. Thompson examined him
for life insurance, and he was rejected ON
account of his having heart trouble.
Mr.. Bessi came from Germany many
years ago, and was very much respected
by all who knew him.

COURT PRATTLE.
Things Heard and Seen About the Court
House.

InmSS hcaru ana seen ABOUT the Court
House.
The appearance of Justice Ludlow on
Tuesday was eagerly watched. To almost
everybody he was stranger, and the
people were desirous of contrasting him
with Judge Reed. The new Justice is a
corpulent gentleman, with smooth face,
and short, white hair. He is not as pune
tual as to time as Judge Reed, and is not
nearly so sharp and pronounced in his
rulings. In speaking he has habit of
keeping his lips close together, and it is
difficult to understand him. He has a
mild affable manner and can establish
his own way most delightfully."-. 1t was
quite disappointment for the people in
his not having any cases heard before
him, as no estimate of his judicial abili-
ties could be ascertained.
There were over one hundred and fifty
oystermen in Court Tuesday, witnesses
in Supreme Court Issue No. 3, Bateman
VS.. Polhamus. 1t was fully intended that
this case would be moved, and the trial
would have occupied nearly the entire
week. 1t was important this case could
be tried, as the final result would end the
contention that has been agitated between
the Oyster Association and the Riparian
owners. When the Court announced that
he could not hear the case this term,
there was considerable grumbling among
the oystermen, and their first impress
sions of the new Justice were not fiatter-
ing to him.
Court Crier Clevenstine took his posi-
ton in the afternoon, opening and
adjourning Court, his first time. There
is much that young man can do in the
position of Crier, and ''Oh Yea' will
make himself generally useful.
There is a lack of proper accommoda-
tons at the Court House for pretty much
everybody, and the building is entirely
inadequate.
Arthur Kelly, of Atlantic City, has
pher. He carried his ten dollars Tues
day without taking note.
For years, when a Grand Jury retired.
Constable Ayars, of this city, has been
one of the officers in charge. Tuesday
Officers Fowler and Bulloch had charge
OF the jury. This was owing to the fact
that IN the morning Constable Ayars was
aacting as Court Crier. He is now engaged,
however, as paymaster for witnesses be-
fore tie Grand Jury.

What is generally conceded in Phila-
delphia to be one of the most desirable
building sites in the city has just been
purchased by The LADIES' Home journal.
The property is located at Sixth and Wal

next, the houses thereon will be torn
down to make room for building cost
ing $250,0Co, to be solely owned and ex-
clusively occupied by the Journal. The
building will require two years in it's con-
struction.-Lodies' Home Journal, Phila-

Where Did Get This Dreadful Coughe

No matter; the great question is: How
shall get rid of it? Use THE PINEoLA
BALsAM, a soothing combination of the
remedies nature has put in the pine and
other balsamic trees. 1t cures the fnfiam-
nation and tickling in the throat and if
taken in time will prevent the spread of
the disease to the lungs. Ely's Pineola
Balsam is strongly recommended in eases
OF asthma. Twenty-Five cents is the
price. Tell the neighbors about it.

THE LIVE MAN ADVERTISES.
And He Sells Fresh and Spick and Span |
Goods.

Goods.
A great many years ago, when news
paper advertising was in it's infancy, an
old merchant was asked by newspaper
man to try advertising in his paper to
stir up trade, "Oh, no" drawled the old
man ''my goods are to good that I let
them advertise themselves; 1 think that
is the best way. I keep such good wares
and sell them so cheap that they cannot
help but speak for themselves"
This argument sounded so pleasant to
the old gentleman that he taught it to his
sons, and it has been handed down to the
present time in cobweb and dusty stores.
1t is the live business man, with spick
and span new goods who advertises daily.
