Ernest Watts has been mentioned in
connection with the Office of city clerk
under the new administration.
Postmaster Hays is expecting visit
from Washington post office official in
response to a request from him. Post
master Hays is DESTROYS Of increasing the
number of local carriers, as on account of
the increase of business the present car
riers are not always able to cover their
route in the prescribed time. The idea is
to get one more carrier and possibly two,
so that the routes as laid out at present
can be shortened and the people get their
mail with less delay.
Col. Whitman died at his home near
here on Friday A week or ten days ago
while in New York he injured his hand
by getting it caught in a door, inficting a
slight wound to which no attention was
paid at first. After returning home cry
sipelas developed which finally resulted
fatally. Deceased was a brother of the
poet, the late Walt Whitman. He was
about 70 years of age. He was unmar-
ried, but kept house on the river road,
Mrs Stacy H. Scott acting as his house
! keeper.
A case of smallpox has developed on the
Rancocas road, Mrs Shreve having been
attacked with the disease. 1t is believed
that Mrs. Shreve contracted the ailment
while on shopping trip in Philadelphia
the day after Thanksgiving. She wanted
to make some purchases previous to going
to New York with her husband, to the
Dog Show, where they had dogs entered.
She had not been vaccinated and rather
dreaded to go to Philadelphia fearing she
might contract the disease. She did not
ride in the street cars in order to avoid
possible contamination from that source.
She visited number of stores where she
tried on numerous coats. Since the trip
she had not felt well, growing gradually
worse, the malady developing in sixteen

To be Declared Legally Dead.

Within a brief time the question o.
whether the Rev. Cortlandt Van Rensse
laer Hodge is living or dead is likely to bt
legally adjudicated He is believed be
yond doubt to have been massacred or
or about July 1, 1900, by the Boxers Al
Poa- Ting Flu, China, but his death has
never been legally proved, and the ques
ton is now involved in the sale of parce
of the old Van Rensselaer, estate.
The Rev. Cortlandt V. R. Hodge was
one of the heirs He had a one thirty sixth
interest in this property. The signatures
of his father, the Rev. Edward B. Hodge
of Philadelphia, and his brother, DR.. Ed
ward B. Hodge, are on the contracts, but
his is missing. He and his wife. who was
Miss Elsie Campbell Sinclair, of Philadel.
phia, graduate of Bryn Mawr, went to
China as missionaries on their wedding
trip, and were never again seen by their
relatives here.
1t is probable that a pro forma action
will be instituted to declare Mr. Hodge
legally deceased, and his interest in the
Van Rensselaer, properties will become
vested in his brother and sisters. They
are residents of Philadelphia, where the
young missionary studied medicine before
he took up theology.

ne" remedy for the blues" As no drugs are
administered, he has felt safe in experfruentfne,
with at least a half hundred melancholy pa

these mats among the chiefs who made Ma
taafa King. Several strenuous squabbles have
leaked out from the secrecy in which native
affairs are for the most part involved and it is
evident that this mat distribution is causing
just the sort of trouble that followed all SINH
lar affairs in the days when Samoa had King
Ever since the war King Tanumafili has been
living in Fiji and keeping observant eye
Samoan affairs 1t is likely that not a day has
passed in which he has not been homesick for
no Samoan can be happy away from Samoa.
But If there was anybody in Samoa who
wanting Tanumafili to come back he certainly
neglected to mention the fact, and the young
man has been only p small item in the list of
kings in exile
Now it is learned that Tanumafli has decided
to come back to Samoa. swear himself in a
German and be good. AS Mataafa has gov
ernment job with a small salary the gov
ernment of the colony will probably do
much for the last of the Malietoa line. 1t is
possible even, TO give to him ''Kaiserlich"'
blem as well to his rival The has the
fiyfiapper, the other might receive the staff
that accompanies the fiapper in the hands Of
the makers of speeches
What the announced return of Tanumafli
does mean is that the two factions de-
veloping a fierce rivalry over this mat dis
tribution of Mataafa and the opposition lead
ers are willing to make any sacrifice of princ-
pie in order to have a Malietoa on the spot to
serve as a rallying point for the defections
from Mataafa which sure to come
There is no possibility of such rebellion as
Samoa has known in earlier conditions one
good reason IS found in the fact that the Sa-
moans have been disarmed and there is no
longer any source from which they can obtain
rifles and ammunition. But the most exper.-
enced observers outside of the colonial Off
cials are convinced that the native troubles
will soon reach such pass as to necessitate
a complete reconstruction of the policy Of deaI-

source of trouble for two centuries only in
cluded 500 miles. Mr.. Reid's grant included
10000 acres of homestead lands occupied by
squatters without legal title but whose occu-
pancy was usually recognized in the colony.
All these would be liable to eviction at the will
of Mr.. Reid The grant also included 2If,UoO
acres of timber lands already leased and worked
by other parties. who the expiration OF their
leases would see these acres, together with
mills houses and other erections upon them,
become the absolute property OF Mr.. Reid.
Finally the Reid grant included 1000 acres
of mining lands which were similarly situated.
Mr.. Bond announced that the government had
obtained the whole 3135.oO0 acres for ssoO.OoO.
