OFF WITH STAR BOARER
William MARI Asks Chancery
for His Daughters His
Wife Took Away.


Through his counsel, former Prosecutor
Peter Stagg, of Bergen County, William
II. MARI, prominent commission mer-
chant of New York, applied to Vice
Chancellor Pitney this morning for the
custody of his two daughters, Edith, thir-
teen years old, and Florence, eleven years
old, now in the custody of their mother.
In his petition, MARI says that he was
married to his wife in New York ,Janu-
airy %, 1889. In 1901 they moved to
Englewood, where they lived happily to-
gether until one Frederick Barrett came
to board with them. Barrett was young
er, and in the opinion of Mrs. MARI, much
better looking than MARI, and the wife
began to show him marked attention. Ac-
cording to the petition on one occasion
MARI went into his kitchen and found
his wife sewing buttons on Barrett's un-
derclothing while it was on him. The
complainant objected to this, but his
wife said that Barrett was boarder and
she was merely showing him an ordinary
kindness in sewing on his buttons.
He seems to be boarder with priv
ileges,' remarked MARI.
"Yes, and he pays well for the priv
ileges," retorted Barrett.
Some time after this MARI declared one
night his wife slipped from her room and
he followed her into the room occupied
by Barrett. When he burst open the
door, Barrett was lyong on the bed part
ly dressed and Mrs. MARI was in the act
of pulling off his trousers. MARI says
that since then he has had nothing to do
with his wife.
Soon after that Mrs MARI left home,
taking her two children with her, and
went to live in house in Fort Lee pro-
vided by Barrett Barrett lives in the
house with them.
MARI claims that his wife is not a fit
person to have the custody of the two
firls.
The vice-Chancellor issued an order
requiring Mrs. MARI to show cause why
the children should not be turned over to
their father. She is also restrained from
taking them out of the State.
MARI has begun a suit in the Bergen
Circuit against Barrett for $4,000 for
aliniating his wife's affections. Barrett
was arrested under : capias issued in the
suit and is now out of jail under $4,000
bail.

CEMETERY MOVED.
Dedad Give Place to the Living
in the Construction of the
Boonton Dam.

A cemetery containing in the neighbor-
hood Of FIVE thousand bodies was re-
moved on Saturday to make way for
one of the big dams in course of con-
struction for the new water works at
Boonton.
The burying ground was used in con-
nection with poorhouse, the graves be-
ing principally those of paupers. Il
was located directly in the way of the
second dam, known as the "back dam. .
When the Metropolitan Construction
Company, which has the contract fol
building this dam, began the work il
was decided that the cemetery would
have to be removed.
A large force of men were put to the
task and the gruesome work of removing
the skeletons was continued from Thurs
day until Saturday last week. New
wooden boxes were provided to replace
cofiins that had rotted away and each
skeleton was deposited in new ground,
some distance from the dam.
While the work Of digging up the
bodies was in progress the men were
permitted to partake Of stimulants to
keep up tehir spirits.

This old remedy furnishes the nu-

out weakening; it forces the poisonous
matter ont of the system through the
proper channels-the only way disease

increase in vitality each organ of the

work nature intended it should do-each
day the kidneys get little more help,
until finally they are strong enough to
tiorw off all the waste matter and poison

danger with patent medicines is that
they either produce temporary stimu-
lation by the use of alcohol, at the ex-
pense Of weakening the system or by
the use of of injurious drugs deaden and
stupefy the nerves so that they have less
power and vitality, and consequently
san increased quantity of poisonous waste
matter remains in the system, and you
grow worse all the time. That is an
other reason why we have warned you

DIsoBEYED. HIS ORDER

"Unless the Court of Chancery pun
ishes those who contemn its orders. it had
better go out of business at once" said
Vice Chancellor Pitney this morning, in
ordering Adolf Efenbein and his wife
AIollie. of Hibernia, confined in the Nor
ris County Jail for contempt of court.
Some time ago the Efenbeins sold a gem
eraI store, which they kept in Hibernia,
to Henry Appel, and entered into an
agreement with him that they would not
engage in business within eight miles of
the store they sold him. Nevertheless
Appel was hardly in possession of their
old store When the Efenbeins opened
another establishment close to the old
place aud began lively competition with
Appel for their old customers.
Through B-~W. Ellicot. of Dover, Ap-
pei obtained from Vice-Chancellor Pitney
an order restraining the Efenbeins from
doing any business whatever within eight
miles of their former store, according
to their contract with him. The order
was duly served upon the Efenbeins, but
they paid no attention to it, and went
right on doing business at the new stand,
TO Appers great damage, as he charged
in his petition. He then applied to the
ViceChancellor for an order to punish
the Effenbeins for contempt of court.
The Viee-Chancellor did not wish to be
too severe on the defendants and said
that would defer the matter of punish
ment for two weeks upon condition that
they made some satisfactory arrange.
ment with the complainant. The two
weeks were up today and Mr.. Ellicott
appeared before the yice-Chancellor this
morning with afidavits to show that the
Efenbeins had made no arrangement with
the complainant and still continued to
do business at the new establishment.
This aroused the indignation of the
Vice-Chancellor and be said sharply:
This is as gross a case of contempt of
court as has ever appeared before nae.
These two parties were adjudged in
contempt but allowed to settle with the
complainant. They have done nothing

Official Reply to the Attacks
Made On the Trustees
Of the Retirement
Fund. u
PRINCIPALS KELLY's RETIREMENT
1t Was At His Own Request
and Against the Advice
Of Miss Allen
PRINCIPALS KELLYS RETIREMENT


The Board of Trustees of the Teach
ers' Retirement Fund of the State of
New Jersey has issued a circular letter
replying to the recent attacks on the ofic-
ial conduct of the teacher members of the
Board.
The letter says in part:-
"On April IA, 1903, and later, there ap-
peared in the newspapers of New Jersey,
New York and Philadelphia, under prom
inent headlines. articles alleging the resig-.
nation in a body of the State Superin~
tendent and the three State Board of Ed
ucation members from the Retirement
Fund Board of Trustees because of diff
ferences' with the teacher members, and
the appointment by the State Board of
committee to ssift,' investigate exam
ine' and probe the Fund.
''All of these reports are false in every
essential particular. Mr.. Kelly was
among the first to join the Fund when it
started in 1896. His dues were paid each
month till he was retired He was sew
enty years of age, and had taught in New
Jersey thirty-two years. Last fall he
lost his wife, and this shattered his
health. Shortly after, his daughter, a
teacher in Hoboken, told Miss Allen,
Secretary of the Fund, that her father
wished to apply for retirement on an
nuity, and asked how he should proceed.
Miss Allen, in the presence of another
person, advised Miss Kelly to urge her
father to wait, remarking: Your father
may recuperate, and be able to resume
his duties She replied that her father
would never return to work, and Mr..
Kelly executed formal application for
retirement, making affidavit that he was,
because of chronic disease, incapacitated
for further service; two reputable phys-
clans made similar affidavits, and these

tion, and the City Superintendent

8, 1902, (Mr.. Grouse and Mr.. Surdam

sented, but, upon Mr.. Morse's suggestion,

Mr.. Morse asked to be recorded as op-
posed to Mr.. Kelly's retirement, and left
the meeting. The President of the Board,
Mr.. Baxter, did not vote; and we have
yet to hear a syllable of dissent from Mr..
Surdam.
Referring to the alleged differences
between the State Board and teacher
