Day Of the independent Man
BY JUDGE PETER S. GROSSCUP.
OF the United States Circuit Court.

We can never go back to the days of our boy
hood, but can go back to the days when the man
with 500 did not have to hoard it or ntrust it to his
neighbor for safe keeping, but could put into in
dusties, that it would return with earnings
What should be done? Change the laws SO that
no set of men organize corporation except on
strict legal business Then put it under such super
vision as the national banks are subject TO- and be-
lieve that little by little, this immense boarding in the
savings banks of $1,000 ooo 900 will be trickng into
ownership AGAIN.

De12niHons Of W1u and Humor

Litterateurs have long sought an accurate def

exact definitions and determinations impossible

these enthusiastic seekers after the unattainabe.
Yet their efforts have not been wholly frutess. Sc
varied and important is the exercise of these
functions that their study properly enliss the aten-

MISS VALENTINES QUEST
Receiver for the spinster Who
Failed to Get a Husband.

Vice-C Chancellor Pitney heard further
particulars this morning of the disastrous
attempt of Libbie Valentine, fifty-two-
year-old spinster, of Paterson, to secure
thirty-fve year old husband. Some
time ago Miss Valentine, through VIII
liam Rysdyk, her counsel, asked the Vice
Chancellor to appoint a receiver for the
saloon and liquor business at No. 8 Rail-
road avenue, Paterson. She alleged that
at the request of George Ross, she pur-
chased the saloon from William Lave
rick for $40, and put Ross in charge as
manager. Ross had promised to marry
her and she fully expected he would keep
his word When he had been incharge
of the saloon a short time he claimed to
be part owner, put her out of the place
and told her that he would not marry
her because he had wife living who
would make trouble for her if she did
not get out
Senator Wood Mckee. as counsel for
Ross, presented an affidavit by Ross,
which Stated that he had borrowed money
from his brother and purchased with it
half interest in the saloon. He denied
that he ever promised to marry Libbie
and the other allegations Of her bill.
This morning Mr. Rysdyk presented
further affidavits in which Miss Valentine
denied that Ross had contributed any
thing toward the purchase of the saloon
and how she borrowed the money from
her mother and ]. William Dec. She
also said that Ross had been arrested
for selling liquor on Sunday on complaint
of the Rev. Dean McNulty, and filied,
which circumstance had greatly injured
the reputation of the saloon
Margaret Valentine. her mother, and
Mr. Deo corroborated this.
In reply Senator Mckee read an affi-
davit by Ross reiterating his former affi-
davit and saying that the day Miss Val
entine went to New York to draw from
savings bank the money her mother
had lent her. he went with her, and they
spent the day and night up TO eleven
o'clock drinking wine together. On thai
occasion Miss yaleptine spent between
$50 and 500.

RECEIVER FOR
ELBER0N HOTEL
Vice Chancellor Stevenson
Appoints Frank Conover
Of Asbury Park.
BLoDGETT TURNED DOWN
Owner Of the Property Want-
ed the Ex-United States
Senator to Take
Charge.
BLODGETT TURNED DOWN

Vice-Chancellor Stevenson this morn
ing appointed Frank Conover, proprietor
OF the Coleman Hause, Asbury Park, ra
ceiver Of the Elberon Hotel and Cottage
Company, and ordered that he give bonds
in the sum of $1,000.
When the hearing on the application
for the receiver was resumed this morn
ing Lindley Garrison, one of the counsel
for the creditors. said that all the ne
gotiations for settlement of the matter
without the appointment of receiver
had amounted to nothing and the case
was in the same position it was in when
adjourned last. week.
The Chancellor said that nothing
then remained for him to do but name
the receiver There was an abundance
of material for that purpose and the
only embarrassment the Court had was
in that abundance. 1t was of great mn
portance, he said, to conform to the
wishes of the creditors who had recon-
mended Mr.. Conover. Mr.. Conover was
satisfactory to the Court.
At this point, Ex-Governor Werts, coun-
sci for Joseph 5. Jordan, who is the Ell
beron Hotel and Cottage Company, said
that he understood that the parties to the
suit had agreed that former United
States Senaor Rufus Blodgett should be
appointed.
5. Mr.. Garrison said he knew Of no such
understanding.
Governor Werts appealed to John Lam.
ming, receiver of the Monmouth Trust
Company, which holds some of the Ell
beron Company's notes, but Mr.. LannfEg
said that he recommended Mr.. Conover
and wanted him appointed.
Governor Werts said that Mr.. Blodgett
had been prevailed upon to accept the re-
ceivership and had made arrangements
for carrying on the business of the COM
pany. Mr.. Lanning was about to speak
when the Vice-C Chancellor somewhat tes-
tily interrupted him TO say that both Mr..
Conover and Mr.. Blodgett were good
men, but in this case it was expe1ient to
have practical hotel man for receiver
and one desired by a majority of the
creditors as far as possible. He then
named Mr.. Conover, and added: 'Un-
less there is reorganization of this com
pany soon the property will be sold.
The Court of Chancery cannot go into
the business Of keeping hotel at the
seashore."
"Everything was ready. to go ON with
the business under Mr.. Blodgett,' re-
marked Governor Werts, as he gathered
up his papers and left the room.

The following resolutions were unani-
mOuSly 1uODteu.-
s'Whereas, The citizens of Jersey City
have hear with intense sorrow and in
dignation the news of the recent out
break against the Jews of Kishineff, Rus
sia and the shocking atrocities committed
by the ignorant, brutal and misguided
populace, resulting in the massacre of
many men, women and children, and the
wounding and maltreatment of hundreds
of victims, therefore be it
Resolved, That as citizens of Repub-
lie friendly to Russia, we earnestly urge
the claims of the Jews resident in the
Empire to just and impartial treatment
ind to protection against such outbreaks
as the Kishineff massacre. We protest
against the spirit of mediaval persecu-
tien which has been revived in parts of
Russia. In this country the recognition of
the equality of all men before the law,
whatever their race or creed, is a prin-
ciple which in practice assures them de-
votion tothe land of their birth or adop-
ton. This eminently true of the Jewish
immigrants from Russia who have set
tied in the United States in large num-
bers, and who as body have become in
dustrious, thrifty, faithful and law abid-
ing citizens. And be it further
Resolved, That we sympathize with
our fellow citizens of the Hebrew faith in
their grief and anxiety because Of the
affiction of co-religionists in Russia and
in their energetic efforts for the relief
of the people of Kishinef. And be it fur
ther
Resolved, That the people of the I'm
tied States should exercise such infu-
ence with the Government of Russia as
the ancient and unbroken friendship be-
tween the two nations may justify to
stay the spirit of persecution, to redress
the injuries inflicted upon the Jews of
kishineff and to prevent the reeccurence
of outbreaks such as have amazed the
civilized world
