two strikes have already been called.
This rule 10 aimed to do away with
intentional foniing.
The pitcher cannot toss the ball TO
anyone except the catcher and only
when he is behind the bat" alwayG
This will do away with much tedious
delay and expedite the games.
The pitcher cannot toss the ball to
any other player than the catcher.

Warming up and trying to catch rum
ners mapping off the bases will be cut;
out. The umpire must call a ball for
every violation of this rule, which
will also help to shorten the game.
A batsman may not henceforth take
his base if hit by pitched ball, but
the ball will count as a ball against
the pitcher.
A rule was passed empowering the
umpire to remove from the game, and
if need be from the grounds, any
player guilty of using improper Ian
guage to another player, captain

Jewish Missions.

The talk given Wednesday evening
in the parlors of the South Street
Presbyterian Church by Rev. Leopold
Cohn brought to his hearers a clear
idea of the work that has been done
and that which yet remains to be done
among the Jews.
Mr.. Cohn has been in the mission
work for seven years, and taking as his
text Paul's efforts for the Jews, he
said three things we're necessary, first,
sympathy for them, then desire for
their conversion, and thirdly. our best
work toward converting them, net by
teaching them sects, isms, or doctrines,
but by showing them crucified
Messiah. The active, sincere con-
verted Jew, he said, was great
power for good among his own people.
He thanked all who had assisted
him and showed an interest in this
work and said that as Christ shed
tears over Jerusalem, so did such in
terest show the mind of Christ in
them.

Smith, late of this city, by which
Abraham e. Adams, proprietor of the
Evening Express, was made sole ex-
ecutor without bond and also sole
legatee, has been.contested by Newark

stroke Of apoplexy and died at the
home..of Mr.. Adams.

sister and Mrs. Howard Edgar and
Mrs. Duryea, nieces Of Rev. DIR. Smith,
and all residents of Newark.
The value of the contested property
is not known. The relatives place il
at a very high figure. but others say
that owing to Mrs. Smiths liberality
and on account of her many gifts to
public and private charities, she was
possessed of but little property at the
time Of her death; probably 5000,
or So, 600 would cover it all. Former
ly she had about $780, 900.
It is claimed by the caveators that
she was unsound Of mind, and in
making her will was subjected to Jun
due influence.
A hearing in the case will take

mitted in this vicinity for years THAN
that which occurred in Short Hills
Monday morning, when the store be-
longing to William Smart, of Morris
town, in which was also the Short
Hills post Office, was entered and
robbed. Entrance was gained by TAX
ing out the sash and forcing the door
of the grocery. A powerful explosive
was used in trying to open the safe and
the entire front of both the safe and
building were blown out.

mated at from $4O0 to 81, 900. POST

Office of stamps, cash and two regis
tered letters will exceed $780,

held last night, decided to offer re-
ward of $75 for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of the

Good Roads Train.

A distinctly novel plan for mission
airy work by the League of American
Wheelmen in the interest of good
roads will be put into operation this
year, beginning on June 10Th, when
a "good roads" special railway train
will start ON tour of the United
States with the purpose of demon
strating to the farmers of the country
the ends the L. A. w. has in view
The plan has been approved by the
l.. A. w. and the necessary money
for carrying it out is assured, though
the promoters of the enterprise start
in with the knowledge that the form
of education for the farmers that they
propose will be costly.
The arrangements made by Presi-
dent Earle provide for a special train
consisting of sufficient number of
cars to carry the latest improved road
making machinery of all kinds. At
tached to it will be a car for the road
experts who will make the trip. By
arrangements made in advance road
congress will be held in two places in
each state, and after a meeting at
which the subject of highway i'm
provement will be discussed there
will be demonstration of practical
road building.
The machines will be utilized in
this work and sample roads will be
built to demonstrate the value of i'm
proved highways and the economy in
using the machines.
