Divorce Granted.

Vice Chancellor Reed, on Tuesday,
granted to Clara j. Lester a divorce from
her husband, John Franklin Lester, Civ
ing her the custody of her three daughters
and allowing her So per week alimony
Lester left the state shortly after he was
released from the county jail here, and is
now thought to be in Philadelphia. As
matters now stand, his bondsmen, who
are residents of Burlington, will have to
stand good for the amount of the bond
$500-at least
The case has attracted great deal of
attention, owing to the striking allegations
made by Mrs. Lester.
The compliments counsel was Harry
G. Valentine, of Trenton, and Lester was
represented by Thomas E. Bantle, of Bor-
dentown.
There were no sensational features de-
veloped on Tuesday, but the testimony
submitted was very emphatic in its char
acterization of Testers inhumanity.
The first witness called was Mrs. Clara
J. Lester, the complainant, who told her
story in a straightforward manner, but in
subdued tone of voice.
Laura Lester, the twelve-year- old daugh-
ter of the complainant, corroborated her
mothers statements, and told the story
with wonderful accuracy for child of
her age She understood the nature of an
oath, she said. and it was administered to
her.
Matte Viola Lester, the eldest child,
told about the same story as her mother
and sister, and was quite certain in her
recital of dates and places.
Mrs. Lester told of the treatment ac-
corded her by her husband, repeating the
declarations made in her charge, the sub
stance of which was extreme cruelty.
She gave a brief outline of their mar
ried life, nearly all of which seemed to
have been marred by her husbands curses
and abuses.
The Testers were married on February
IL, 1880, and lived together until Janu-
ary, 1900, residing in Pemberton, Jobs
town and Bordentown. Mrs Lester now
lives in Trenton.
There are four children living-Mattie
Viola, aged 10; Joseph, 10; Laura, ~, and
Pearl, Sand three dead. The three girls
live with their mother, the elder being
practically her sole support at the present
time.
Mrs. Lester, both in the bill of COM
plant and in her testimony, charges her
husband with striking her brutally with
knotted rope in 1886. While she was
cOnnneQ TO ner Deu suffering lrOm MS
blows and attendant ailments superin-
duced by the same, he repeatedly told her
that he hoped she would die, and on one
occasion she claims that he said, with an
oath, II hope when return tonight I'll
find your body stretched out on cooling
board.
At later period he compared the drip
pings of hydrant to the melting of ice
when she should be laid out as corpse,
and is alleged to have said that the sound
was most cheerful one to him.
Mrs Lester says that her sufferings and
the cruel treatment by her husband
caused her to lose her mind, which she
fully realized.
Her husband is said to have chained
her to the floor in the attic, and nearly
starved her. Later she was taken to the
asylum, from which she was soon dis
charged as cured, and returned to her
husband.
During the years that followed Mrs.
Lester alleges the most inhuman treat
ment imaginable.

CHRISTIAN SoIENoR is bobbing up in all
parts of the country and instances of deaths
of victims of this fallacy are reported with
frequency that is not pleasant There
are few in Burlington county who pro-
TESS to believe in this theory, but it will
not be at all healthy tor them if there are
any deaths that can be traced to their nom
sensical ideas. Not great many years
ago there was death in the lower part of
the county of child whose parents were
deluded by the Christian Science theory.
The woman who attended the innocent
victim, giving it prayer instead of proper
medical attention, was indicted by the
grand jury, but was never brought to trial
because she thought it more prudent to
absent herself beyond the reach of the Off
GERS of the law. The mistake made in that
case was that the father was not also in
dicted, but he, too, concluded there were
more pleasant places than Jersey, and
crossed the river to find an abiding place.
People who put the lives of limo cent
children in jeopardy because their own
minds are not properly balanced should be
made to answer for the act

Something New Under
The sum-


All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use of powders, acid gases,
inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years made
close study and a speciality of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
Treatment which when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanently
cures CATARRH, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reached the
afflicted parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "SNUFFLES the GUARAN-
TEED CATARRH CURE" and is sold at
the extremely low price of One Dollar,
each package containing internal and ex-
ternal medicine sufficient for full month s
treatment and everything necessary to its
perfect use.
"SNUFFLES" is the only perfect CA
TARRH CURE ever made and is now rec
oginized as the only safe and positive cure
for that annoying and disgusting disease.
1t cures all Inflammation quickly and per-
manently and is also wonderfully quick
to relieve HAY FEVER or COLD in the

Our Asylum.
, THE Edition. of The .Neso,

To the EdSt0r Of The NeaoS:
On Decoration day myself, wife and
two friends paid visit to the Burlington
County Poor House and the Insane Asy-
lum attached thereto.
On our arrival we were cordially re-
ceived by Steward Harbert and his wife.
Mrs. Harbert took us in charge and pilot
ed us through the building, both for the
unfortunate poor and the part allotted to
those whose mental faculties are impaired.
The place was as clean as wax, and gen
eral appearance of happiness could be
seen among those unfortunates as fully
as their abilities allowed.
Mrs. Harbert's appearance among all
the inmates of both departments proved
she was the right woman in the right
place. Her cheerful greeting was evil
dence that those under her care were sure
they had a friend, her smile and cheering
words seeming to WOO and win all she came
in contact with Success to Steward Har-
bert and his wife in the position to which
they have been assigned We all came
away with far different opinions of the
County House than we ever had before.
We then visited the new Insane Asy-
lum, which is under the care of our ge-
NAL townsman, Charles H. Deacon, and
MS WlI6. 66r6 MT. D6dCOu GOOk charge
of us, and we visited all parts of the es-
tablishment. The day before we visited
the place SO of the poor demented crea-
lures, both male and female, were receiv-
ed from Trenton. We recognized four of
our former citizens who were there on ac
count of sad mental Affections. This
house is new, and everything showed the
utmost care from those having it in
charge 1t is heated by steam, with ele-
CANT bath rooms. wash stands, dining
rooms and culinary arrangements in per-
lection, assembly rooms, chapel and bed
rooms looking so clean and cosy as to woo
the 'drowsy god" to any body
The patients seem contented and all
very clean. We should never again find
fault with these institutions which are
conducted under that sweetest of all
words charity"
Success also to Mr.. Deacon and his wife
in their good work. We would advise all
who have opposed these institutions to
visit them, and come away as your writer
and his friends did, with our thoughts
purified by beholding the care and kind
ness of the people in charge of those who
have fallen by the wayside.

Five Hundred Thousand Life In
surance Claims Paid.

The Prudential Insurance Company of
America has recently paid its five hundred
thousandth claim. The Prudential is the
only life insurance company combining its
operations exclusively to the United States
that can point to such wonderful record,
and it shows what a vast amount of good
is being done by that Company, particu-
larly through its system of Industrial, or
weekly payment, life insurance.
These 500, 900 claim payments show a
total amount of over $45, 900, 900 paid by
The Prudential on Industrial claims alone,
the daily number of payments now aver
aging over 200 The large amount of
want and distress prevented and relieved
through the just distribution of this vast
sum of money explains why Industrial in
surance is so popular in America.
On policies issued by The Prudential on
the Industrial plan, the premiums are
collected weekly at the homes of the
policy holders, in sums of five, ten or
fifteen cents, and upwards, per week.
The Prudential has liberalized its policies
very materially since the organization of
the Company twenty five years ago, and
in addition has established for itself a
very enviable position in the world of
life insurance by arranging for the pay
ulCub VI al JuoO CldiLlo ltAuuCuldOClJ QPOH
receipt of proofs of death. Not only is
this true, but it has even arranged to pay
certain claims by telegraph and others
directly through its field representative;
so that, while every precaution is taken
by the Company to protect the interests
of existing policy holders, the money is
placed in the hands of the beneficiary at
the earliest possible moment. This prac-
tically doubles the value of life insurance,
particularly among those holding Indus
trial policies, where there is frequently
no other ready money at hand.
Another feature showing the Company's
liberal treatment of its policy holders is
that of additional benefits, by which an
Industrial policy, after it has been five
years in force, is credited with an addi-
tional amount of insurance, without any
additional expense whatever to the in
sured.
Considering both Ordinary and Indus
trial, The Prudential has paid over $780,
600, 900 to its policy holders since its or
ganization
