suit to RECOVER Properly.

In October last, Mrs. Florence F. Lamb,
of Providence, instituted a suit against
her husband, DIR. William R. Lamb, of
Mount Holly, and his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Benjamin R. Lamb. She asks the
Supreme court to declare certain deeds
and mortgages for his property null and
void. The property is-a- tt 81 Herkimer
street, near Nostrand avenue, aud land in
Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Mrs. Lamb, in her complaint, said she
transferred certain property to her hus-
band, who, she claims, was acting as her
agent and trustee, so that he might trade
it for the Herkimer street fat When the
exchange was made, DR. Lamb took title
in his own name and then transferred the
property to his father, taking mortgage
for SIC, 900 on it.
The fiat is worth about $25,o 900, and
came into Mr.. Lambs possession legiti-
mately through his trading sixteen Flat
bush lots, the absolute gift from his wife
by paying off part of a $4,000 mortgage,
and his assuming the balance.
In 1898, Miss Florence Fisher and DIR.
Lamb were married at Providence, R. l.
They at once went to the Worlds fair,
and upon their return domestic infelicity
made itself manifest.
Miss Fisher, who was quite wealthy, de-
sired an early marriage, but the doctor
expressed a wish to wait year or so in
order that he might attain possession OF
property somewhat in proportion to her
own. She thought it was best to marry
at once, and upon his agreeing to this
proposition, she decided to him the land
| in Flatbush, which has value of about
SO, ooo These Flatbush lots consisted OF
an undivided portion of her fathers es-
tate. She bought her brofl1ers interest in
them, and then secured her mothers
dover right for $4,000, giving note in
payment Although these lots were given
to DR.. Lamb, she shortly afterward asked
her husband to assume the payment OF
the note, which he generously consented
to do When a further effort was made to
get the doctor to endorse another note fol-
S., ooo-the two notes equaling the value
of the lots-the doctors eyes were opened
and forbearance ceased to be a virtue. Mr.
Lamb objected, and her attorney destroy
ed the note and threw it away.
l. Mr.. Lambs title to the property is said
to be unassailable. At the trial of the
case the plaintiff made very poor show
ing. and prominent lawyers say there i:
no question as to the result A decision
is looked for at any time When the case
is settled, divorce proceedings will proba
| bly, be instituted to annul the marriage.

Lastor of the Baptist Caurch.
Prof. Hall answered some questions
that had been propounded to him on the
subject of grammar. He then spoke on
school-room training Morality is taught
with this subject A child differs from a
tree or other like objects because the
child has a will which is the mind letting
out energy. And there is just as much
art in studying how to restrain energy as
to invent methods of expanding it. Two
children are in school, one is undecided
vascillating. his will needs strengthening :
the other jumps suddenly at a conclusion,
his will needs restraint. Has q teacher
any chance to train the will power of
child for right and wrong? Not day
passes without such an opportunity.
Many men have committed acts which
they have acknowledged they were pow
erless to resist. There was some impulse
which overpowered them. Were they
responsible? yes, for they had been al
lowing their brains to brood over a certain
line of thought which had gained con-
troll of them. Hence the Importance of
early moral training. Just so sure as the
sun will rise, just so sure will every good
seed implanted in the youthful mind
bear good fruit in later life.
Endeavor to discover all that is good in
your scholars, the bad will soon leave.
Develop the law of appeal, inspire the
spirit of right God has implanted in every
human soul.
County Superintendent Stees said there
was no doubt that much of the success of
this Institute was due to the pleasant and
instructive remarks of Prof Hall. Mr..
Stees did not believe in extending thanks
too freely, but he thought it would be
well to extend rising vote of thanks to
Prof. Hall.
This was done and Prof. Hall respond
ed that he felt touched at this mark of es-
TEEN, something that never happened be-
fore in his Institute experience. IF /
have done you any good" he said, "pass
it on"
DR.. M. G. Brumbaugh, of Philadelphia,
was the next speaker. He said he hardly
knew what to say under the heading of
address" on the programme. Suppose
we take the subject of language" he
said. AS Prof Hall had spoken on that
point quite a laugh arose. "Have you
had that ?" said DIR. Brumbaugh, "All
right; let's have it again for know OF no
reason why a boy should not get as
thorough knowledge of his mother
tongue as profound love of his fathers
land"
What does it mean to have a mastery
of ones language No person can have
that without being able to talk it and do
it intelligently. The speaker gave several
amusing incidents of results from inabil-
ity to talk properly. Every child has
right to have developed those talents
which have been born in him. Give
every boy and girl chance to talk their
mother tongue, to talk it intelligently, to
read and write it as well.
At the close of DR.. Brumbaugh's talk,
Prof White. of Trenton, addressed the
Institute on the subject of the State Teach
ers' retirement fund.
The Institute then adjourned.

The license question seems to bother
this city more than any other subject that
is considered The Excise Commission
that was recently appointed has not given
complete satisfaction, and at the meeting
of Council on Tuesday night the ordi-

nance was passed providing for the ap-

Mail Contracts Awarded.

Once in every four years the post office
department awards the contracts for
carrying the mail routes in all the states.
The awards for the routes IN New Jersey
were made on Tuesday and the contracts
will run from July l, 1897, to June 80,
1901. This year there is a marked re-
duction in the figures, this reduction
varying from to 80 per cent below the
contract price of four years ago. Nearly
all the routes in New Jersey have been
bid in by regular mail contractors who
live in other states, but who hope to sub
let the routes to persons living in the
towns where the mail is served. Thus it
becomes of some importance for the
would be subcontractor to know Just what
the contractor is getting from the govern
ment, and for this reason the accompany
ing figures are of value.
The contractors who have secured the
largest proportion of the New Jersey
routes are ]. NJ: Barring, London, KY.
