MORE LANAIS FOR
THE MOANA HOTEL

Important plans for the enlargement
of the dining hall at the Moana Hotel
are being considered. These entail the
extension of the hall sea-ward by the
addition of large circular lanai which
will take it far over the water. This
will also be carried out on the Dia-
mond Head side of the hall, along its
entire length, connecting the present
approach to the dining room with the
extension. The windows will be cut
down to the floor so that each would
become a doorway.
The long lanai is contemplated for
use as a promenade and the extension
over the water can be utilized as an
out of doors dining place.

crowd hurled themselves through the
and the hum and buzz of humanity
took the place of the pounding ham,
mer and grinding drill in underground
New York. 1t was like entering an
other world. And when the train was
finally started and gradually gained
headway, all eyes were turned toward
the windows to catch feettng glimpses
of the road along the route as cars
shot through the hole in the ground to
the unexplored regions beyond. We
travel in the air, on the ground and
under the ground. When Manhattan
is so bored and burrowed that it threat
ems to collapse, the air ship will be
commercial reality and we will have a
boundless range of possibilities. 1t
seemed to be omened thus that on th 70
eve of the operation of the subway
most successful airship test was made
at st. Louis. The opening of the sub
way emphasizes two things-the en0r-
nous growth of New York and the
ceaselsss endeavor of man to attain an d
go surprising each achievement. New

festation of the forces that are trans

ATTACKED AND INJURED BY A MAD BULL.
MiddletOwn Boy Has Narrow Escape From
Being GOred To Death

Albert Pierce. who lives with his
father on the Frederick Brady farm. a
short distance from Middletown, mar
rowly escaped being gored to death by
a vicious bull late Wednesday after
noon. He was able to escape only af-
ter receiving possibly fatal injuries by
the fierce lunges of the enraged brute.
The attack took place in the field. The
animal made dash for young Pierce
and knocked him down before he had
chance to run. After getting him on
the ground the bull attempted to gor G
him and in doing so broke the unfor-
tunate young mans breast bone and
Tour or five ribs. Michael Cammile. a
colored man rushed to young Pierce's
rescue with a shovel, and the enraged
bull turned on the colored man. get.
ting him down also and both we're SO
badly gored and trampled upon that
recovery is doubtful, the injuries of
both men being very severe, the ami
NAL stepping all over them. The two
injured men were brought to Middle
town and DIR. Ritchie rendered all the
assistance possible. We are glad to
learn that they are improving and
seem to be so much better. with slight
hopes of their recovery.

MIOLLETOwN GIRL FATALLY BURNED.
Ventured too Near a Bon Fire and Her Dress
Became Ignited by the Flames.

Helen Virginia Spicer, the four year
old daughter of Mr.. Edgar Spicer, who
resides about one-half mile east of
MiddletOwn was horribly burned on
Friday afternoon of last week and died
at eight o'clock the same night. While
the father was at work in a field at
some distance from the house, the lit
tie girl and her brother raked together
a pile of leaves and unaware to the
housekeeper, secured some matches
and set them on fire. 1t is supposed
she ventured too near the fire, her
dress ignited and her entire body
burned to a crisp before assistance
could reach her. Her father hearing
her screams rushed to the house, but
was too late, as the fire had done its
work. 1t was sad blow to the father,
he having buried his wife in February
last, and much sympathy is heard in
his behalf The little one was bright
child; pupil of the Primary Depart
ment of Bethesda NJ. E. Sabbath
School, and her little companions
were deeply affected at the sad funeral
on Sunday afternoon, the entire
school marching to the cemetery in a
body, singing one of their little hymns

SUPERIOR COURT SETS MRS. HOLLIS FREE
Application Was Made at the Recent Session
10 Dover and Was Finally Granted.

Application Was Made at the Recent Session
10 Dover and Was Finally Granted,
In the Court of General Sessions at
Dover last week application was made
by DR., John B. Hutton, counsel for
DR.. Luther S. Conwell, trustee for
Mrs. Edith j. Hollis, an inmate of the
State Hospital at Farnhurst, for the
release of Mrs. Hollis from the State
institution. In Kent County Court
last April Mrs. Hollis was tried for
numbering her husband, Delaware T
Hollis, at Camden, November II, 1903.
She was found mot guilty" by rea-
son of insanity at the time the murder
was committed and placed in the State
Hospital. At the hearing DR. Davies,
first assistant to DR.. Hancker, super
intendent of the hospital, testified
that in his judgement Mrs. Hollis was
perfectly sane and safe to be at large.
Mr.. Davies was closely examined bv
Attorney General Ward as to the prob
able recurrence of her insanity, and,
while the dooter testified that uuch a
thing was not improbable, he hardly
thought she would again become in
sane. Miss Downes, the attendant
OF Mrs. Hollis at the hospital, also tes-
titled that she believed her capable of
being set at large. The Court after
comforting with the Attorney General
counsel for Mrs. Hollis ordered her re-
lease. Mrs. Hollis. at once, in com
pany with her brother-in-law, DR.. l..
5. Conwell, went to her former home,
Camden.

As Told By A Barber. New York Press.

Earbering may not be a lortlly oc- cupation. but the barber has his trou- bles. One of the rich men of New York. for example, may be seen daily In a downtown shop. patronized by bankers principally. sitting erect in the chair of the boss. vigorously read ing a newspaper through eyeglasses and strenously puffirg a black cigar. The barber means and groans, but cannot decline to shave this iadivid- ual, who gives a ten-cent tip. But 1t is something frightful to shave that that man." he says. ''Theslightest touch knocks of his glasses, and he swears. Then I must watch that cigar, lest I burn my hand. And I must not
 interfere with his paper, for he de- clares he has no time for reading ex-
 cept when in the chair. He refuses to take og his collar, but must be shaved
 low on the neck. I wish he would stay away"
 This same barber used 10 go to a
 residence in Fifth avenue. near Fifty | seventh street, to shave three times a
 week a millionaire paretic who had to
 be lifted out of bed and placed in a | chair for the operation. The charge for this attention was fifty cents. The
 man never knew when he, was being
 shaved. The greve finally got kim after five years of pitiless insanity. He | had not sense enough to commit | suicide
