Ask. Remuneration.

Miss Addie Combs brought suit against
Michael Woolston, in Justice Clevenger's
court, to secure compensation for services
rendered to Mr.. Woolston and his wife.
Miss Woolston claimed 800 for acting as
housekeeper in the Woolston family for
20 weeks.
The plaintiff is dressmaker and lived
with Mr.. and Mrs. Woolston for 90 years.
During that time she paid small sum
for board, the amount being paid weekly
whether Miss Combs was at home or was
away at her work. When Mrs. Woolston
became ill, Miss Combs was summoned
by telegram to ''come home" She was
at work at dressmaking in Merchantville,
but in response to the telegram she at
once came to Mount Holly and went to
the Woolston home and took charge of
affairs. She did housework and nursed
Mrs. Woolston. After the death of the
latter the plaintiff remained and cared for
Mr.. Woolston, who was in feeble health,
aiding him in the store and continuing in
charge of the house. For this work she
was never paid, and she thought her ser
vices were worth at least So per week.
At the time she took charge of the Wools-
ton affairs she was doing considerable
work, but was compelled to part with
many customers as they could not wait
for her. and she was unable to do house
work and dressmaking, too.
The defence was that there had not
been any contract in the case. For a
number of years the plaintiff had been as
one of the family, regarded by Mr.. Wools-
ton and his wife as daughter. After
the death of the wife arrangements were
made to sell the store and business of Mr..
Woolston, and to rent the house Miss
Combs continued at the place until sew
eral chances to rent had been allowed to
slip. When she decided to leave she had a
settlement with Mr.. Woolston on the ac-
counts of the house and no demand was
made for wages The contention was
that everything done by Miss Combs was
her own voluntary act.
In giving her testimony the plaintiff
said she had not asked for money, but
had requested that some household fur
niture belonging to Mrs. Woolston, be
given to her This request was refused.
In reply to questions by defendants coun-
sci she said she took three shawls with
her when she left the house, but it was
proved that they were given her by the
deceased woman. She denied that she
had remained in the house for such q
length of time as to interfere with its
being rented, and also denied that she
had done work for herself in the time fol
which she claimed pay.
Witnesses were called to show that Miss
Combs position was that of housekeeper
that Mr.. Woolston and his wife depended
upon her to take entire charge.
Micajah E. Matlack represented the
plaintiff; George NJ. Hillman appearing
for the defendant
Judgment for the full amount was rem
dered on Saturday.

There Was a Hot Time.

The Democratic Central Committee had
meeting on Saturday, and before the
time came for adjournment there were
warm words nearly reaching blows. The
meeting was held in the Office of lawyer
up town. The members of the committee
sat around patiently awaiting for contrib
utions to the campaign fund. But, like
the famous letter, they never came. Then
the secretary of the committee, Sammy
Chafey by name. who, by his own state
ment under oath at court is politician, "
but who, by his actions, is thought to
come under the heading of "boodler," got
uneasy and wanted to know the wherefor
OF this slowness to get the 'stuf" out. If
1t was not forthcoming in a short time
there would be trouble. The challengers
would not go on duty unless their pay was
assured.
Something must be done and that pretty
quick, he suggested, as the executive com
mittemen were all in town awaiting dis
tribution of the fund. Whatever the cen
trail committee did, there was one thing
certain and that was that they should at
least raise enough to pay Chafey 81 to re-
imburse him for expenditures for postage,
&c.
This statement aroused one of the mem
bers of the committee from the lethargy
into which he had fallen, and he remarked
that Chafey should be ashamed to ask the
return of this small amount, as he had
been on the township election board ever
since the law went into effect and could
afford to contribute the amount from his
salary.
This was more than the politician"
could stand, and he promptly informed
the member that he was liar.
You have, persisted the other.
Then, it is said, the politician" got mad
and used wicked words, so bad in fact
that even Democrats could not stand them,
and member of the party who was in the
room took hand in the affair, and was
about to wipe the floor up with the man
of bad language, but contented himself
with opening the door of the office, and
the politician" who is also secretary of
the committee, hurriedly sought the side
walk, without waiting for his notes of the
or notes with which he ex-
pected to beguile the challengers.
This was horrible enough and the van
pushed secretary should have been al
lowed to depart without more ado, but he
was followed by the proprietor of the Of
nee who told him never to again enter the
place, and 1t looked for awhile as if he
might have felt the weight of cane if he
had not subsidized. But still more was he
to be narrowed in his ruffled feelings as
he was compelled to notify the gang that
was anxiously awaiting that although the
party was united and in harmony there
was nothing substantial about the situa-
ton and they might as well go home.

The State Fish and Game Commission
ers met at the State House on Saturday
with the Game Wardens of the South Jer-
sey districts.
Commissioner Howard P rockingham
presided, and in opening said that the
Commissioners were DESTROYS of knowing
how the wardens spent their time, whether
in the pursuit of their business or of their
private interests. He continued that lately
the wardens' reports had not been entirely
satisfactory. 1t is their duty, he said,
to frequently inspect the hotels and mar
kets to ascertain if game is being sold
out of season.
Commissioner Morris advised the war
dens to post themselves ON the forms of pro-
cedure as well as the state law and rules
of the Commission Mr.. Morris said the
Commission had decided to ask the Legis-
lature to make several changes in the
present game law, and for this reason they
were DESTROYS of learning the views of the
wardens. A general discussion of the
present law followed.
