DIR. ECKMAN's LECTURE.
Wealth, he Intimates, is not bar to
the Evil of Intemperance.

the Evil of Intemperance.
The lecture given by the Rev.
George p Eckman, in the First Pres
byterian Church last Friday evening,
under the auspices of the Union Tenn
perance Society, was well attended
and greatly enjoyed. DR.. Eckman is
a brilliant talker, having a wonder
full gift of language, and faculty of
strongly stating his thoughts.
He described the evils of intemper-
ance, citing many instances that
came under his observation in New
York, Of men and women going to
their perdition by the use Of alcoholic
beverages. Society in general, he
said was becoming SO addicted to the
use of Intoxicating liquors that it
was the crying shame Of this country.
Women more especially were allowing
themselves to become victims of the
habit, and this was not confined to
the outcastS of society, but the doc
tor alleged that ladies living in brown
stone fronts on Fifth avenue New
York were practicing it,
He closed his remarks by appealing
to the audience to spread the work of
total abstinence and never cease de-
monstrating its benefits to victims of
the drink habit.

Americus Turner, the Mansion House
Porter Victim of Thieves
in Camden, n. j.

Americus Turner, who has been in
the employ of Mr. L. d. Guerin as
porter at the Mansion House for II
years was found almost unconscious
from several doses of Knockout
drops" last Friday in Camden, N. j.
He was taken care of by the police of
Camden who on questioning him
learned that he lived in Morristown
and was employed by Mr.. Guerin.
That was all that he could remember
concerning himself
Saturday Mr.. Guerin went to Cam
den. He found that Turner had
landed in Philadelphia Thursday
night and was seen in the company of
a notorious character named Taylor
and two other persons of the same
ilk Turner who was well dressed
and carried an extra overcoat and
three handsome umbrellas was taken
in tow by these men. He has no re-
collection as to what happened after
he accepted their invitation to take
a drink in Philadelphia until some
time after he found himself in the
custody or the police IN Camden.
He had about 1925 in cash when he
left Morristown and had but S14 left
when Mr.. Guerin found him. He had
been wandering aimlessly about Cam
den's streets in a dazed sort of way
Mr.. Guerin telegraphed to Jetfress
Virginia, Turner's home, and his
brother from that place took him in
charge.
Turner is about 30 years of age,
was good porter and was well known
to residents of this city. He now has
an account of about $500 in one of the
local banks.
One of the men who was seen with
Turner has been arrested but the
money stolen was not found on him.
The police of Camden say they know
the gang and will soon have them
placed.

WAS AMBITION HIS RUIN :
Notes Given by Democratic Candidate
for Sheriff Unpaid and Judgment
Has Been Taken on Them.

Henry p. Drake, the democratic cam
didate for sheriff defeated last fall,
apparently is in financial difficulties,
for he permitted two notes, one for
81, 500 and the other for $500, to go to
protest. Judgment on each note was
rendered against him and an attempt
has been made by the banks which dis
counted them to collect on the judg-
ment. Mr.. Drake disappeared 2last
Saturday and Sheriff Ryerson was un-
able to find him for several days.
The fifteen hundred dollar note was
made jointly in favor Of N. G. Vanat-
ta, who is brother-in-law of Mr..
Drake, and K. G. Drake, who happened
to be the chairman of the Democratic
County Committee during the cam
paign of 1902, and who is also cousin
of the maker of the note, Henry p.
Drake. Mr.. Drake was not elected to
the Office of sheriff.
The second note was made to e. c..
Drake and was endorsed by him with
an order to pay same to the National
Union Bank of Dover.
The first of these notes was given
on the 14th of October 1902. The
democratic convention which nomi-
mated Mr.. Drake was held on the 9th
of October, five days previous.
The second note is dated the third
day of November. Election day was
the fourth of November, SO that it is
only natural to infer that Mr.. Drake
was unfortunate enough to need money
on election day.
Mr.. Drake was popular resident of
Chester, N. j. He was usually well
supplied with ready cash and is sup
posed to have had considerable
amount of that article at his disposal
at the time he aspired to become Sher-
iff of the county. Mr.. brakes circum-
stances were such that he had acquired
but little experience in the world of
finance, and events have demonstrated
that he was not a great success as the
political manager of his own cam
paign.
There is no direct evidence other
than the date of the notes to show
UlldU ullc lllODCy OUudll1ctl VII Ulltlll was
used for political purposes, but there
are those who intimate that the ambi-
tion to serve ones party on the demo-
cratic ticket is not without its burden
of expense.
The judgments were obtained in the
regular course of business by the Ma
tional Iron Bank of Morristown and
by the National Union Bank of Dover,
which banks, presumably, had dis
counted them
One of the New York papers pub
lished story to the effect that a de-
sire to emulate the success of Mr.. An
drew Carnegie led Mr.. Drake to operate
in Wall street and that the persistent
decline of the stocks in which he in
vested brought on financial ruin. This
may or may not be true. At any rate
the dates of the notes suggest a Suspi-
cion that democratic politics in Morris
county is not a healthy game for dis
eased pOcketb0ok.

per. He also has title to a wife, a
mother-in-law and child. Tuesday
night he got them all mixed up in
a tangle and had to have the police
do Strengthening out stunt for him.
The miX-up was caused by an inju-

When the police took the matter in
hand the mother-in-law shocked all
tradition by standing up" for Mr..
johnson. Mrs. johnson wanted to be
turned loose from Mr.. Johnson for
awhile. The police thought that a
good idea and helped her by sending
Johnson to jail for two days. Johnson
grabbed the baby and wanted to take
the infant to the cooler with him, but
the mighty arm of the law was
stretched forth and the innocent
Youngsters incarceration was not
affected.

WAS a Model nusband.

George Stein has answered the com
plaint in divorce proceedings brought
by his wife who alleged many things
against him which he says are not
founded on fact. He has never, so he
says, been cruel to his wife, and as to
the other and perhaps equally inn
portant allegations, how could any
one suspect him? He wanted to be
reconcied and sent presents to his
boy with the idea Of working on hei
motherly feelings, but the presents
came back, and he is still suffering
from the cruel desertion ON the part
of his hard hearted wife. He thinks
that he should be given the decree
instead Of Mrs. Stein, on the ground
of desertion.

 about as soon as they get up.

THE NEW PLAN

For Putting the Lake Superior Corn- pany in Working Order Again.
 The Philadelphia Ledger says: The new plan of the Rea-Berwind ':insid- ers' for the Consolidated Lake Supe- rior company agrees with that propos- ed by the Miller Protective committee, which is now heartily in accord with the scheme. In brief 1t is as follows: .5 A new company will be formed to be known as the Lake Superior Cor poration whose capital will be $40, ,000,- 900 in shares of $100 each. The new company will have an authorized bond issue of s10,000,000, of which $2,7500O0 will be held in the treasury for future need and s7,250,000 bearing 5 per cent. Interest will be sold to an underwrit- ing syndicate, headed by Rea- -Berwind interests. It is understood this sale will be made at 70 thus yielding $5.075, GOO. The stockholders are to be as- sessed three dollars a share on: their preferred and common stock. Holders of the preferred will by paying the as- sessmert be entitled to one share of the new stock for two shares Of the old. Four shares of old common stock will obtain one share of the new af- ter assessment is paid. x
 At this rate should all the, outstand- ing shares be exchanged, about sS2,- Q00000 would be absorbed immediately An additional s2,175, 900 of the stock would, it is said, go as commission to the underwriting syndicate. The as- sessn1ent would bring in s2.99O,5so if paid in full
