Indianapolis on January 10. Mr..
Ryan says that the operators are re-
ceiving larger price for coal than
ever before, and they cannot make
the excuse that the mines are not
paying expenses. Mr.. Ryan says that
the convention will produce figures
to show the total cost of mining a
ton of coal and give the public an
idea of the profit being reaped by the
operators. Mr.. Ryan will attend the
convention, and no doubt lead the
fight for higher wages.

had & more eventful life. A daughter
of the famous Senator Tn omas II. Ben
tor, of Missouri, she early became an
ornament of society at Washington,
which was almost as much her home
as St. Louis, where she was born.
When only Is years old she made a
love match with the then Lieut.. John
G. Fremont, afterward famous as the
pathfinder" Although she did not
leave the paternal home until eight
years afterward her life from that
time was bound up in the career Of
the young engineer, hero of the Next

the first presidential candidate Of the
republican party. During his later
western journeys she braved the hard
ships of frontier life to remain by his
side. For many years since the gen
erals death she had lived at Los An
geles, her daughter, Miss Fremont, be-
ing her constant companion. Ten
years ago she became in straitened
circumstances, and number of Cali
fornla women started movement
which eliminated in the purchase for
her of comfortable home in this city
and the granting by congress of pen

Of Agriculture, opened on Wednesday morn
ing iii Guests Hall, with good attend
ance Of the farmers Of Gloucester county,
and their families.
The program as arranged by the COM

the dairman, and fruit grower
The speakers, some of them old favorites,
others new to us, were at their best. and
handled their subjects in practical and
helpful .uanner.
President of the County Board of Agri-
culture, John Tonkip, in his greeting to

To Test the Game Laws

Last Friday, DR.. J. H. o'conner, Of
Philadelphia, was arrested at the Camden
ferry having in his possession seven rabbits.
He was taken before Justice Barr who i'm
posed fine of S143, which the doctor paid.
Since, he has retained ex-Judge Carrow to
bring suit to test the consti utionality Of
the game laws. DR.. o'Connor had not
taken the game out Of the State, and the
question will be raised whether the game
wardens had right to arrest merely on the
belief that the game was to be taken away.
Should the game wardens not be per-
mitted to make arrests until the State line
is passed they would have to secure a
requisition for the return Of each alleged
offender.

BANKS AFTER MONEY ORDERS.


Plan Favored by the New Jersey Bankers.
Mr. William ). Field, treasurer of the
Commercial Trust Company, has been ap-
pointed by the New Jersey State Bankers
Association, Of which be is secretary, a
member of the committee on bank money
orders and the committee will at once begin
its deliberations on that proposed innova-
tion in banking business.
This subject is soon to absorb a great
deal of discussion at bankers associations,
because they claim that the transfer OF
money by means Of money orders is strictly
feature Of their business and has been
usurped by the Post Office Department and
express companies
Everybody is familiar with post office
orders. If an Individual wishes to pay a
bill out of town or send money to distant
point, he simply goes to the express Office
or the post Office and purchases draft.
The express company's draft states on its
face that so much money has been received
to be forwarded, but no place of payment
is indicated and the companies generally
depend upon the banks and bankers to
cash these drafts for their customers. The
express companies and the post office re-
eeiYes fixed sum for all drafts sold, ac-
cording to the amount, and the banks fur
nish the funds to cash them and act as
agents for their collection. In fact, banks
do all the work and the companies receive
all the profits. Some idea Of the profits in
the business may be CLEANED from the re-
port Of the Post Office Department for the
present year ending June, 1902. when ii
exceeded 81, ,OO0,O0 and all this without
one cent Of capital invested.
Now the banks propose, since they put
up the cash, some profit belongs to them,
and they mean to secure some of the bnsi-
ness in this way as described by. Mr.. Field:
The Bankers Associations of several Of
the States have adopted a form Of draft to
be used by their members, and have fur
nished these drafts of special design and all
necessary advertising matter to all the
banks, free Of charge, and are making
every effort to supercede the express aud
post Office order by the bankers money
order
The New Jersey Association will take
up the matter AMI no doubt adopt special
form to be used by its members. Necessary
arrangements will be made for the eashing
Of all drafts at any bank in the United
States A regular fee will be charged
according to the amount Of the draft, but
always under the fee charged BY the Gov
ernment and the express companies,
