The statement in last weeks News thai
the Burlington County Hospital might b
compelled to close, was gloomy news tc
residents of all parts of the county, fol
there are few sections that have not, al
some time, had practical demonstration Of
the value of the institution. Mount Holly
people have already taken action in the
matter, and euchres and teas have been
planned for the benefit of the hospital.
This is all well as far as it goes, and is
very commendable, but the necessity is
for permanent fund, or a certainty for
current expenses each year. There are
many ways in which this might be assured.
At present there are many willing con-
tributors who pay such sums as they
elect, but if there was system by which
a number of persons would guarantee a
small amount each year, it would be quite
beneficial. Suppose, for instance, there
were those who would agree to give an
amount from one dollar to five dollars on
certain day each year. That would re-
suit benefcially As stated last week,
there are about Sc, 900 inhabitants of this
county. This includes men, women and
children, rich and poor. Now, suppose
of this number 5, 900 would agree to pay
one dollar per year. 1t is easy to figure
the result. In order to get this matter
started THE NEWS prints coupon which
explains itself. We have not got 5000

Decision in viii Contest.

A decision has been given by Register
of Wills Hackett, Philadelphia, in the
matter of a newly discovered codicil to the
will of William r. Fling, who died in 1873,
by the provisions of which Martha w. Cam
pom, living at Mount Holly, sister-in-law,
receives $40, 600, the presentation of which
was opposed by the heirs, in which he di-
reefs that testimony be offered to prove
the validity of the document that is pre-
scented. At the hearing in the case it was
contended by the counsel for the heirs
under the will that the statute of lJmi-
tation debars the probate of the writing,
it not having been offered to the Register
within five years after the probate of the
will proper. In his decision the Register
announces that he will hear evidence in
support of the paper at issue, and the
question of lack of testamenlary capacity
on the part of the testator, when the al
legged writing was executed, can be in
quired into later. The next hearing in
the case will take place on the 10th inst.
Under the provisions of the will of Mr..
Fling, Mrs. Campion received a bequest
of $1,000. This was a surprise to her
relatives and friends at tie time, for she
had, upon the death of Mrs. Fling, which
occurred namber of years prior to that
of her husband, taken charge of the lat
ter's home and remained in charge until
the decease of Mr.. Fling. A short time
thereafter, however, a codicil that had
been executed by the testator increased
the bequest to IS COO was received through
the mails by Mrs. Campion, but where it
came from she never knew. This was
probated without any opposition mani
Testing itself among the heirs. The sec
ond or last codicil, which is causing the
present contention, was discovered quite
recently among some old papers belong
ing to the decedent. The papers were
deemed worthless and were about being
destroyed.
By this decision the codicil is admitted
to probate. The legacy now amounts to
over $4,000. Henry 1. Budd, Jr., who is
counsel for Mrs. Campion, will receive a
handsome fee, said to be $4,000.

At the close of the prayer meeting on

very handsome chair was presented by
the pastor, Rev. G. S. Meseroll, showing
the appreciation of the Sunday school
board for his long and faithful service, to
which he very ably responded.

This is not as many think, purely
local institution, but it is a matter in
which the entire county is interested. The
doors Of the hospital are open to patients
from all parts of Burlington county. It
does work that the almshouse cannot do.
There is no provision for other than ordi-
nary sickness at the prison. Only week
ago, Judge Gaskill signed an order trans
ferring from the prison to the hospital, a
man whose term of Imprisonment had but
fairly begun, but who was suffering to such
an extent that he required careful treat
ment In many ways the hospital has aided
the county. 1t is therefore no more than
fair that the ..Freeholders should do their
share.
They will be perfectly justified in in
Guiding in their annual estimates a good
sum for this worthy cause. This should
be done regardless of any pledges or con-
tributions from other sources. The work
this institution has done in the past at its
own expense, struggling hard for exist
ence for the purpose of aiding suffering
humanity, entities it to the most generous
consideration now

HOW is Yn1,r Gas 2

Clifton Parker has been engaged the
past week in going from house to house
and making the above inquiry. The an
swers he has received are all to one point,
few have much good to say of the stuff
being sold as an illuminant. Of course
young Parker is not responsible for the
condition of affairs, but as this is about
the first time the consumers have been ap-
preached for an expression on the sub
ject, they are glad to send their ideas to
the company. There seems to be but one
sentiment and that is there will be no i'm
provement until better gas is delivered
from the works. At present there is too
much wind and heat and too little light.
In one house in Mount Holly the I'M
steady, forked flame, has caused much
damage to globes, cracking two pieces of
nice, thick, plate glass, that had previous,
ly remained intact for period of nearly
twenty years. What the visits of the
special inquiry bureau" will amount to
remains to be seen. There is no doubt he
will turn in answers that will give the
gas magnates something to think about
If they are in earnest improvement may
follow. 1t will not pay them to bluff.

state Council secedes.

Past State Councillor Maurice A. Rogers,
of the New Jersey Junior Order of United
American Mechanics, in Camden Wednes-
day, declared that the New Jersey State
Council had formally seeded from the
National Council Junior Order United
American Mechanics. A new ritual, de.
cided upon at a meeting held in Trenton,
in December, he said, had been published
and mailed to all the minor councils in
the state.
The order in New Jersey has $50 coun-
ellis, with 49, 600 members, and according
to Mr. Rogers, the conclusion to secede is
the outcome of long standing quarrel
with the National Council in reference to
a radical readjustment in the basis of rep
resentation in the National Council.
According to the obnoxious rule the
State of New Jersey, with its 81, 600 mem
bers, would not have any larger represent
alton in the national body than State
having the minimum. Hence the New
Jersey State Council ignored the annual
convention at Minneapolis last summer by
not sending any delegates to represent
them. In consequence the National Ju-
dietary of the National Council met in
Trenton in December to try the officers of
the State Council for INSTRUMENTATION.
The State officers ignored the summons
AS result the State Council was suspend
ed and demand was made upon them to
surrender all moneys and other property
at once to the National Council.
This the State Council refused to do and
after agreeing upon new ritual and
secret work formally declared themselves
separate body. The State order repud-
iates the assertion that it is amenable to
the national body, on the ground that it
was incorporated by an act of the Legis-
lature of New Jersey and is the only body
authorized to use the title of Junior Order
United American Mechanics.
The National Council obtained their
charter from the Common Pleas Court OF
Philadelphia, in 1898, the Jerseymen as
sert, and are a distinct body.
