A CASE OF DISGUST.

A newly elected member of Congress
sat alone in the lunch room at the cap
isol few days ago, looking the picture
of loneliness and desperation. He is a
man of almost unlimited means, but he
has not cut much of figure in the
House. He is modest, unassuming,
and is not likely to become an impor-
tant factor in national legislation, even
if he should be reelected half dozen
terms A friend joined him and, not
ing his dispairing look, said
"Why, what is the matter, old chap;
you as though you had lost all of
your money and friends?"
81 was just sitting here thinking, :"
said the lonesome one, "what big fool
made of myself when I allowed my
friends to elect me to Congress. have
been here over two months, and [ do
not know a dozen men IN the House by
name, and not a half dozen know me-
There is nothing for me to do here but
sit around and go home when some
body moves to adjourn A few fellows
like Payne, Cannon and a few other
chosen ones, run the machine to suit
their own pleasure, and the rest of us
have to smile and tryIto look satisfied.
In addition to this stupid business of
playing statesman I rented q big
house for my wife and myself-my
children are all married and live far
from here. My wife is sick most of the
time; | cannot eat anything, because I
am sufferer from chronic indiges-
ton, and the result is I am simply
staying here spending a pile Of money
running a boarding house and supply
depot for a lot ofnegro servants"

Decision in Mulley Estate.

In an opinion filed in the Lackawan-
ma orphans court by Judge Freas, of
Luzerne, specially presiding, the de-
murrer of the heirs of the late Ambrose
NIulley to the petition of the executor,
George NIulley, TO sell the store business
is sustained, and the executor must
continue to conduct it for the benefit of
the estate.
The will provides that the business
shall be closed up and the proceeds di-
vided among the children. The latter
could not agree on the details of the
matter of converting the business into
cash, and the executor went into or
phans' court with petition for per-
mission to sell it outright. The heirs
would not all agree to this and a de-
murrer was the consequence.
Judge Freas was called upon to pre-
side in the case because OF Judge Nos-
burg having been interested as an at
tofney at the time of his elevation to
the bench.

NINETY-TWO YEARS OLD.
Mrs. Hannah Hallock, Who Saw
Soldiers Leaving for the War of
1919, Died Wednesday.

Mrs. Hannah Hallocll, who was
probably the oldest woman in this city
at the time of her death, passed away
Wednesday at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Emma <inback, of 520 Olive
street, aged % years and 6 months
Mrs. Hallock was born in Strouds-
burg in 1909 and lived there for over
eighty years, moving to this city some
eight years ago, to live With her daugh-
ter. Stroudsburg, in Mrs. Hallocks
early days, was but a cleared spot in
the midst of a forest primeval." 1t
was settled by band of sturdy Quak-
ers, who came from Philadelphia to
live their simple lives close to nature.
Among the sturdiest and best known
of these was Mrs. Hallocli's fatherin-
law, who was a Quaker preacher and
who had charge of the little band of
pioneers.
Her husband, Captain William Hal
lock, was a devOut Quaker all his life
and was for years the warden of the
Madison county Jail. He died some
twenty years ago, at the age of 20.
Mrs 1allock, While not q Quaker by
BIRTH nevertheless imbued a sort of
Quaker sentiment from her long asso-
ciation with Captain Hallock and will
be buried today in the quaint and pic
turesQue little Quaker burial ground
in Stroudsburg.
Up to within six months of her death
she was surprisingly active for a Wo-
man of her years, her only really ap-
parent physical impairment being q
slight deafness. Her eyesight was eX-
cellent and she was able to read and
do the very finest kind of fancy needle
work without glasses. Her memory
was remarkably clear-clearer. in fact,
than the memories of Il great percent
age of people half her age. She could
distinctly recall seeing soldiers leave
Stroudsburg for the war of 1872, and
remembered especially that the women
We're clustered in the street near her
parents house, crying bitterly.
Mrs. Tiallocll was the mother of
twelve children. only four of whom
survive her. They are as follows:
Mrs. j. +. Kinbnck of this city; Sam
uel d., of Pittsburg; Theodore f.. Of
indianapolis, and James W., of New
York.
