Madeleine turned them over, as If
looking for some particular ones. She
took three: which she put in her pock-
ct, pushing the others aside. She was
evidently preparing to take her de-
parture, for she said few words to
Raoul, who took up the lamp as If to
light the way. There was nothing
more for NJ. Verduret to see. He care
fully descended the ladder, muttering to
himself: "Pawnbrokers' tickets! What
infamous mystery lies at the bottom
Of all thisy' The first thing he did was
to remove the ladder. Raoul, escort
ing Madeleine. might take it into his
head to look around the garden, and If
he did so the ladder might attract his
attention. Nj. Verduret and Prosper
hastily laid it On the ground, then
concealed themselves among the trees.
whence they could watch at once the
front door and the outer gate.
At the same time Madeleine and
Raoul appeared in the doorway. Raoul
set the lamp on the bottom step and
offered his hand to the girl, but she
refused it with naughty contempt.
This did not seem to move or surprise
Raoul. He simply answered by an
ironical gesture which implied, GAS
you please" He followed her to the
gate, which he opened and closed after
her; then he hurried back to the house,
while Medicines carriage drove rap
idly away.
"Now, monsieur" said Prosper, "you
must tell me what you saw. Remem-
Der, you promised me the truth no
matter what it might be. Speak: can
bear it,
"You will only have Joy to bear, my
friend. Within month you will Bit
terly regret your suspicious Of tonight.
You will blush to think that you ever
imagined Mile. Madeleine to be init
mate with Il man like Layers"
The drive back was silent and SEEM
ed inlerminably long. Prosper tried
to draw his strange companion into
conversation, but as he received moth
ing but monosyllables in reply he held
his peace for the rest Of the journey.
He was again beginning to feel irri-
tated at the absolute empire exercised
over him by this man.

duret said:
"You will see me at your room about

shall discover what I am seeking at
the Jandidiers' ball."
Prosper was dumb with astonish-

think Of appearing at a ball given by
the wealthiest and most fashionable
bankers at tile capital? This account

'"Then you are invited?" he asked.
The expressive eyes of NJ. Verduret
danced with amusement.

Oh, the Inconsistency of the human
mind! Prosper was tormented by the
most serious preoccupat tons. He look
ed sadly around his chamber and as
he thought of NJ. Verduret's projected
pleasure at the ball exclaimed:
"Ah, how fortunate be is: Tomorrow
he will have the privilege of seeing
Madeleine in her costume Of maid Of
honor"

Bruta11y Assaulted.

A negro broke into the home of Adam
S. Wagner, at Mt. Laurel, Saturday night,
and after gathering up some valuables,
reached the room occupied by Wagner,
whom he knocked on the head with a
blunt instrument rendering him insensi-
BILE The fellow then proceeded to Mrs
Wagner's room and attempting to assault
her, but she fought him off until her
strength was well-nigh exhausted.
Wagner regained consciousness in the
nick of time and attacked the negro, who
broke away and made break for liberty.
Wagner went to Moorestown and mott
fed the police of the outrage. Working
on the description furnished they captured
William Jackson on the farm of Charles
Jones Sunday afternoon. After being
identified by both Wagner and his wife as
their assailant, the prisoner was taken be-
fore Justic PETIT t, who committed him to
jail for trial. Jackson is a short but very
stout negro, Of about 30 years of age. and
as black as night
Jones came to Mount Holly yesterday
morning and offered bail for the release of
the prisoner, whom he said was in bed at
the time the crime was committed, and
that it is case of mistaken identify.

Teachers Association.

The Burlington County Teachers Asso.
citation held its regular meeting in the
Firemen's hall. Riverside, on Saturday.
Rev. M. F. Oerter, of the Moravian
Church, offered prayer A male quar-
tette, consisting of F. II. Story, George
Story. John II. Briggs and Joseph Briggs,
Of Delanco, sang "The Jolly Blacksmith. .
The address of welcome was delivered by
John Fl. Wilson, principal of Riverside
public school. In evidence of the genu-
ineness of the welcome Mr.. Wilson said
that the use of the hall was given free as
well as the use of the l. 0. NJ hall, where
free lunch would be furnished
Miss Ray G. Murtha sang a soprano solo
and Prof. H. 9. Krebs, principal of the
Somerville public school, delivered an adj
dress, 'The True Aim" The teacher
should not aim for scholarship but for
lifework.
Joseph Briggs sang humorous song
which was very well received. Miss Mae
Young. of Philadelphia, gave recita-
ton
Mrs. Georgia B. Crater gave an inter
esting talk on the Teachers Retirement
Fund. Speaking of its origin Mrs Crater
said: about twelve years ago three Ho-
boken teachers met on street corner.
They spoke of teacher, once young,
beautiful, gifted, and the sole support Of
an aged mother. She had taught long
and successfully, but was then dying in a
poorhouse. Such an end to such career
eemed to these three teachers a reproach
to the profession of teaching.

said one, why not teachers ? Then and
there they constituted themselves a COM
mittee of three on teachers pensions

reason or another, until finally the desired
legislation was secured.
Sometimes we hear of teacher dis
turbed at the idea that the fund is a char
ity This is utterly incorrect. The fund
is plan of mutual old age and invalid
insurance established by law and admin
istered by the State, the money being
furnished by members A mutual life or
fire insurance company might as well be
called charity. So might fraternal So
cieties. Our generals, admirals, judges,
college presidents and professors. who are
retired on half pay, do not consider that
they are receiving charity, nor do the
American people think so.
Of Burlington county's 246 teachers, 70
are members of the fund and contribute
to it annually about $3.50. One Burling-
ton county teacher has been retired on an
annuity of $3.50, and, doubtless, you will
soon make further applications. y
Mrs Crater's talk was very interesting
and we regret we have not sufficient space
to give all of it.
The male quartette sang ''The Sweetest
Story" after which the teachers and
friends proceeded to the l. o. M hall, to
enjoy the luncheon mentioned by Mr.
Wilson In the midst of the eating
County Superintendent Stees proposed
vote of thanks to the citizens of Riverside
for furnishing so excellent a spread. The

Bordentown.

Robert Peak. a carpenter, had the thumb
of his left hand badly lacerated by chisel
slipping, while he was working on house
on Park street, on Tuesday, compelling
him to quit work.
Last Tuesday, Leander Assays 6-year-
old grandson, caused loss of $50 worth
of furniture at the family residence in
Prince street. The boy got box of rail
road matches, and striking one set off all
in the box Before the blaze that fol
lowed was put out, a sofa, carpet and
chairs were destroyed.
A colored man who is known by the
name of Billy Banks, a few days ago
hired as a cook at the Bordentown House
At an early hour Thursday morning he
went to the room occupied by Edward E.
Smith, also colored, and forcing the door
open, broke into his trunk and stole $15 75
He took a trolley car on the Camden and
Trenton road, and rode as far as White
Hill, where he boarded a Pennsylvania
Railroad train and rode into Camden. He
was captured at Burlington.
Thomas Alibone, shad fisherman on
the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware
river, opposite Bordentown, had a narrow
escape from drowning by falling into the
Delaware from his boat on Thursday. JO-
seph and William Kessler of Bordentown,
were on the river fishing, and hearing cries
of distress from Alibone, at once went in
search of the drowning man, and it was
some few minutes before they could locate
him, but finally found him, he having
hold of an oar from the boat. 1t was a
timely arrival on the part of the.two bro
theirs who saved Alibone's life as he was
nearly gone. He was placed in their boat
and was rolled for sometime and it was
with difficulty he was resuscitated.

Our Misfortune.

"The Philadelphia Watch Case Com
pany has decided to again enlarge its
plant here.
Twenty eight dwelling houses are in
course of construction here at the present
time, many of them brick"
The above items were taken from an ex-
change and refer to the town of Riverside.
That thriving town has industries that
employ many hands and circulate large
sums of money weekly. The watch case
factory is unable to turn out the orders ii
receives and is compelled to enlarge its
works. And Mount Holly might have
had this industry but for the narrow spirit
of one of its corporations. Mr.. Zurbrugg
came to Mount Holly prospecting for a
site and was inclined to take the building
on King street. He uses considerable gas
in his business and he approached the
managers of the gas company to see what
terms he could make for the use of that
commodity. No special concession was
was made, however, and he went away,
finally settling at Riverside. Perhaps no
special advantage is gained in this post
norton reflection, but it will serve to
show that sometimes II pays to be little
liberal,

Bob Blacks Camden team opened its
new grounds on Saturday, before an audi
ence of over 800 people. The grounds
are within ten minutes walk of Haddon

people went down to see the game, which
was with Clinton A. A. Camden won by
the score of Z to 5. Berry, Perkins and
Fischman, of the old Mount Holly team,

Perkins played second base and covered
considerable ground. He made two hits
and star catch. Leary, formerly with
the University of Pa, pitched, and Allen,
Bristol's left-handed twirler, was on the
bench. Black will give Camden good
games and should be well supported.

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made.

The health department of New York
has seized quantity Of so called cheap
baking powder, which it found in that
city. Attention was attracted to it by the
low price at which it was being sold in the
department stores Samples were taken
and the chemist of the Health Depart
ment reported the stuff to be AN alum
powder" which analysis showed to be
composed chiefly of alum and pulverized
rock
The powder was declared to be danger
Gus to health, and several thousand
pounds were carted to the offal dock and
destroyed

The Meire Trial

The trial of Mrs. Tilton against John
Meirs, the young lawyer, of Cream Ridge,
for loss of her daughters services, took
place in Camden last week. The testi-
mony did not place the young attorney in
favorable light.
After being out twenty hours, the jury
informed the court that they were unable
to agree, and they were discharged.
A juror, when seen after being dis
charged, said that they stood ten to two
for the plaintiff. He further said that
while celebrating during the night two
OF the jurors became engaged in heated
argument over the case, and had it not
been for the interference of the constable
in charge blows would have been ex-
changed
Lawyers Scovel and Boyle, who were
counsel for Mrs. Tilton, state that the case
will be tried at the September term of
court.
Several members of the Bar Association
stated that ex Judge Pancoast, President
of State Bar Association, had written a
letter to Benjamin D. Shreve, the Presi-
dent of the Camden Bar Association, in
in which he asks him to demand the re
signation of Attorney Meirs as Secretary
of the Association.
