"RAINEs LAW" TRICK.
Dover shopkeeper Sold Matches and Gave
Away Cigars.

Dover shopkeeper Sold Matches and Gave
Away Cigars
The trial of John Moglia at Dover
Monday for violation of town ordin-
ance brought to light novel point and
although the defendant had been guilty
of selling on Sunday the jury failed to
convict.
There has always been an ordinance
in Dover prohibiting the Sunday sale of
fruit, tobacco, cigars, soda water, etc.,
but its violation was winked at until
a week ago last Sunday, when Chief
of Police Hagan undertook to enforce
the law. He warned Moglia of his in
tention.
The shopkeeper then declined to sell
soda water and cigars or cigarettes but
sold instead to the thirsty wayfarer a
small quantity of ice cream and gave
him glass of soda water, and to the
would-be smoker he sold matches and
gave him cigar or package of cigar
cites, neither ice cream nor matches be-
ing named in the ordinance.
At the trial before Police Justice Gage
Moglia asked for jury, and his counsel,
ThomasJ O'Brien of Morristown, grave
ly brought out the story of the sale of
matches and ice cream, while town at
torney Ford D. Smith sought in turn to
demolish the fabric of O'Brien's defence.
Nine of the jurymen voted for acquittal.
The case will be retired next Monday

Wall Street.-The Pace That Kills.

The recent death of the creates bull
leader on Wall street, Ex-Governor
Flower, has been followed by the death
of another, not SO prominent but quite
as resourceful leader, John G. Moore
Neither was an old man. Both sue
cumbed to the tremendous pressure upon
their vital energies which the ups and
downs of Wall street exerted. Both
were men of good habits and rugged
constitution, but in accommodating large
fortunes they lived life of intense men
tai energy and consumed the fires of
vitality. 1t is the Wall street pace that
kills, and therefore have constantly
advised my readers to avoid the whirl-
pool of speculation, to buy nothing on
margins, but to content themselves with
safe and prudent investments and mode
rate returns. That advice still repeat.
