Court Proceedings.

The Court at Mays Landing ia still in
session and making fair headway with
the docket. A good share of last week
was taken up with aland case involving
the title to nearly one thousand acres of
land which is now part of Longport.
The case is brought in the Supreme
Court by Mary Dunn against the Oberon
Land Company, to determine the title
of the plaintiffs to an Undivided interest
in the land claimed by the company,
The case involves land titles running
back for one hundred and fifty years, or
more, and is one mostly of legal techni-
calities. 1t occupied all of Wednesday
and Thursday of last week, and was
continued on Monday.
The case went to the jury at 30p.
and later on the foreman reported that
the jury were unable to agree, thus ne
cessitating another trial.
The nextcase was also aland Involving
claim for ownership of a 14-inch strip
of land in Atlantic City, between Mrs.
Mary c. Jarmon and Mrs. Mary A. Will
son. The suit was for trespass in
building fence. Verdict of SIS, for
Mrs. Jarmon.

tier sex, who live in fine houses as you
can find daughters of the poorer classes.
Blood, heredity, environment and home
training are all potent factors in deter
mining the Social status. Something
more than the ringing OF bell, to mark
a certain arbitrary division of time, ie, in
my opinion, needed to work a genuine
reform wheIe e reform is needed.
don't blame many young people for
wanting to keep out of their own homes
as long as possible, either by day, or by
night. There is nothing g to tie them there.
They caunot have their young friends
come in, for fear of dirtying the carpet.
They cannot play games because that is
wicked. They must not learn music, be-
cause that is the work of Devil, and
so it goes, continual fault-finding, nagg-
ing, aud hypocritical lecturiDg, until the
poor creatures are fairly driven upon the
street for recreation and amusement.
Do you undertake. to tell me that
"Curfew" law will cure such case as I
have outlined ? Not bit of it But if
it must be tried, | should like to see some
of the old prowlers of forty to sixty years
snappsd up and run into the house soon
after dark, and kept there. 1t wouldn't
do any harm if they were run in and
locked up between twilights. / don't
see any good reason why boy or girl of
sixteen should be made a victim of the
''Curfew". and all the hardened old sin
ners, male and female, allowed to tramp
when and where they please at all hours.
Fancy what rumpus there would be
if some of our leading citizens were
"shadowed" by the police, and nabbed
just as they were getting beyond their
moral jurisdictionl 1t may be heresy,
but am ready to declare that the bulk
of our young boys are just abont as
straight as their old daddies, and as a
whole, don't stand anymore in need of a
"Curfew" law, and | am almost tempted
to say the same of the other sex. While
it is wholly true, that we have some
pretty tough nuts in both sexes, it is
| equally true that their age isn't limited
to sixteen years. and don't believe that
all the sCurfew" laws in creation would
help the matter much whether they are
old or young. Teachers have enough to
do without being obliged to supervise
the behavior of their pupils after dark,
and they ought not to be burdened with
the additional duties without big ad-
vauce in their salaries, and besides the
law don't require it of them. While all
of US must feel sad to see some of our
young people going wrong, under a full
head Of steam, sometimes, yet | am con-
vinced that the remedy is nota "Curfew"
law. Precept example, better home
training, personal appeal, and reason,
| may be trusted to do greater and more
lasting work, although all put together
may not wholly remove the evil COM
planned of.

INTERESTING SERMON.

For several months past Rev. A. E.
Douglass, Pastor Of the Baptist
Church, has been preparing a series
OF sermons upon the subject OF ''The
Creation" the first of which was de-
livered on Sunday before last. As
everything relating to the fundamen- :
tai Christian belief is of widespread in
terest, we take pleasure in giving a
summary Of Mr.. Douglas Scholarly
address He saidin substance TAX
ing for his text.
Genesis l. 1 :-"In the beginning
God created the heaven and the
eal th." 1t will be of advantage to
consider the origin and nature of
the record we are to study. We shall
be better able to understand our sub
ject.
The question of the authorship and
the age of these writings present them :
selves at the outset.
The Biblical record is not the only &C.
count given of creation. Traditions OF
other nations contain an assertion of
creation, chaotic state, an original pair,
a garden and serpent, an expulsion,
from the garden, food and a family
saved, dispersion of the inhabitants OF
the world. These are so mixed with
heather poetry, myth and fancy as to
a tonce preclude the possibility of the
Hebrew Scriptures being drawn from
them. A mere comparison ought to sat-
isfy any rational being of the indepen-
dence of the biblical account.
That Moses is the author can not rea-
sonably be questioned. Every effort to
show another and later authorship has
arisen among those anxious to support
O preconceived and anti-christian theory,
The Mosaic authorship does not necces-
arily imply that this record is the pro-
duct of his unaided efforts. There is
nothing in the ideas of his own people
that would suggest any such record.
His Egyptian training and learning
could have been of no assistance. The
crude and grotesque ideas prevalent at
that time would preclude the idea of his
being able to rise 80 far above his age as
to produce that which has not been out
grown by the all learning Of successive
centuries.
Tire facts would seem to indicate that
this record is much more ancient than

NEW STEAMSHIP LINE DR.
ECT TO HAVANA.

Semi-Weelkly Service Was Inau-
gurated December Fourth. The
Trip From Philadelphia to Ha-
vana Will Consume Only SO
Hours.
A rumor that new line of Steamers
to Havana would be established this
winter between some port on the coast
of Florida nearer to Cuba than Tampa,
has been current for some time. That
there will be such line is now an es-
tablished fact, as the announcement of
it's certain Inauguration has just been
made by John N. Bsall, district passen-
ger agent of the Southern Railwa
MIR. Beall was seen at his office under
the Continental Hotel yesterday and dsta-
ted that all arrangements were now
complete even to fl king the dates on
which the steamers would sail.
cit has been positively determined"
said be, to inaugurate a new steam
ship line from Miami on December 4,
with ships sailing on Sundays and We'd
nesdays from that port to Havana.
The steamers to be assigned to that SER
vice will be the Miami and the Lincoln.
Both OF these steamers have been recent
ly built for the Florida East Coast
Steamship Company, and, although
smaller, are equal in every other res pect
to our best transatlantic liners.
1.-The Inauguration of this inc from
Miami will bring Havana to the very
threshold of the United States, and, al
though separated from US by wide ex-
panse of water, it will really be nearer
Philadelphia than most of the large
cities west OF the Mississippi.
1.-The steamers will be oper ated in con-
nection with the Southern Rail way
Company's fast mail train, and passen-
gers taking that train at Broad Street
Station at 20 a. m. on Saturday, for
Instance, will reach Miami Sunday even
ing board the steamer which will sail
Immediately after the arrival of the fast
mail, and reach Havana Monday after
noon at three O'Clock, making daylight
landing, which is, of course, very desir-
able"
"Do you think the line will pay?" he
was asked.
Yes, sir from it's inception" was the
reply. s'We anticipate very heavy
and steady travel to Cuba after it's oc-
cupation by American troops, and the
fact of this line being SO much shorter
than the Key West and all wster
routes will naturally make it popular.
| We expect to do particularly heavy
business, both freight and passenger,
between Philadelphia and Havana, as
the establishment of this line will give
Philadelphia merchants an advantage
that they will not be slow to see and
avail themselves of."-Philadelphia
