Maidens Ward Off Tritlers.
Cape May Girls Organize for Matrimonial
Prote ct.on.

A new and altogether unique organ
ization has been formed by number
of attractive and manageable young
women, of Cape May who find time
hanging heavy on their hands during
the winter months. The title of the
new organization is the Bachelor
Maids Club, ana its avowed objects
are the cultivation of the social ameni-
ties OF the season and mutual protec-
ton OF interests along matrimonial
lines. Just how this latter feature is
to be looked after is one of the secrets.
but it is understood that a sharp es-
plonage is to be kept upon the records
OF the young men, SO that ample warn
ing may be given the members as to
the movements of young men.
The club has adopted a constitu.
ton and bylaws, with attached penal
ties for violations. One oft funda-
mental rules, adopted by majority of
one after long and heated argument,
is that no member may accept an
offer of marriage without the unani.
nous consent of the club membership.
1t is probable that this rule will be
broken before the winter is half over,
but the young women declare that
they are very much in earnest in band
ing themselves to ether. A social tea
will be given once each month at the
home OF some member. The club
will attend to all the arrangements for
these functions and NEE, all the neces-
sary expenses. The sterner sex will
be represented, but the most careful
discrimination as to invitations will be
exercised.

The first demonstration of the kind
occurred when DR.. McGlynn rounded
out one of his eloquent sentences with
the name of Henry George. 1t startled
the sedate citizens who were seated on
the platform. And the demonstration

had never before been seen at a funer-

Starved Rather than Beg,
Mother Porished and Children Nearly
Shared Her Awful Fate.

Povertystricken to the last degree,
and too proud to beg, Mrs. Joseph
Goshak, the wife of Mt. Carmel
miner, died Friday from starvation,
after untold suffering. Hunger has
long been known in the family. Fri
day morning Goshak, though weak
from want of food, left his wife in bed
and went out to hunt for work. On
his return at noon he found her life
less body. Two of her children, who
were in critical condition for lack OF
something to eat, were afterward fed
by neighbors.
Some time ago Goshak sent to
Austria for his family. He had few
hundred dollals, and upon their arrival
his wife became i'll. Then he grew
sick, and their savings were finally
exhausted. The family kept then
poverty a secret.

Counties not Liable.
A Decision Affecting Magistrates and Con
stables.

Judge Stewart, at Chambersburg,
recently filed an opinion that affects
all the magistrates and constables in
the state, and will materially reduce
their incomes. Recently Magistrate
John A. Seiders, ofthat place, brought
suit against the county commissioners
to recover fees in summary case
where the defendant had gone to Jail
for the costs. The commissioners,
upon the advice of the county solcl-
tor, refused to pay the bills, and case
stated was prepared for an appeal to
the court.
Judge Stewart, in his decision dis
posing OF the case, says it falls within
the ruling of the supreme court in the
case of Crawford county VS.. Barr, o2
Pennsylvania State Reports, $50. Ac-
cording to the Interpretation of the
law as made by this court, in all cases
OF drunkenness, disorderly conduct,
violation of the game laws, tresspass
and similar offences, where the parties
are found guilty and sent to jail for
non-payment Of fines and costs, the
county is not liable for the costs, and
the magistrates and constables get
nothing for their work.
For many years the fees and ex-
penses in such cases have always been
paid in most counties of the state.
Lawyers hold that the effect of Judge
Stewards decision is to make inopera-
tive nearly all attempts to enforce the
law in the class of cases mentioned,
as the constables will refuse to venture
the loss of time and expense in making
such arrests.

Ever since France paid the indem-
nifty levied by Germany at the close
of the last war, thirty millions of dol
lars in gold coin have been kept in the
fortress of Spandau, Germany, as an
emergency fund to be used only in case
OF war. The money is packed in one
thousand chests, which contain thir-
ty thousad dollars each. A committee
visits the great treasure-vaults period
ically, examines the chests, counts
some of their contents, inspects the
safeguards, and makes its formal re-
port in writing. The sum is not as
important as 1t once was, for it would
be used up in the first few days Of
mobolization, and the boarding of the
coin entails loss of four millions OF
marks year in interest to the state

Its Policies Invalid.
Philadelphia Underwriters Associations S
Business Not Legal.

Attorney General Mccormick. in
an opinion requested of him by Insur-
ance Commissioner Lambert as to
whether the business conducted by
the organization known as the Phila-
delphia Underwriters is legal, says
there is no warrant whatever for issu-
ing a joint policy, and the entire trans.
action of this association issuing poll
cies is illegal and void The associa
ton IS composed of the Insurance
Company of North America and the
Fire Association OF Philadelphia, both
incorporated under different charters.
The Attorney General says corpora
tons cannot form a copartnership un-
less expressly authorized, and agree
ments between companies which
create partnership between the
parties thereto are void. Policies OF
insurance issued by such an associa-
ton are in contravention of the Act
OF Assembly of February 4, 1870,
which also provides a penalty for its
violation. For these reasons and for
the further reason that the State has
no jurisdiction over the association
known as the Philadelphia Under.
writers the Insurance Commissioner is
advised that its business is illegal.
1t is understood that a number OF
policies have already been issued by
this association.
