DR.. William II. Dobbins Dead.

DR.. William II. Dobbins, who had prac-
tised dentistry in Newark for many years,
died at the City Hospital in that city Sat
urday morning of cancer in the right
cheek. He first noticed the affection last
March, and from that time until his death
the growth defied the efforts of physicians.
DR.. Dobbins was removed to the City
Hospital from his home, December 10, In
order that he might receive more careful
and regular attention. Acting upon the
advice of several specialists, he refused to
be operated upon, believing that an oper-
alton would only prolong his life short
time, and could never bring about a per-
manent cure.
The doctor was born in Mount Holly
August /, 1855, the son of Samuel A.
Dobbins, former member of Congress.
He was next to the youngest In family
of eleven children, six sons and FIVE
daughters, and this is the first death to &C.
cur among them. After studying dentis-
try with his brother, DR.. Thomas w. Dob
bins, in Mount Holly, DR.. Dobbins entered
the Pennsylvania College of Dental Sur
gerry, at Philadelphia. graduating from
there in 1877. He went directly to Newark
and began the practise of his profession
DR.. Dobbins was active in politics and
In Masonic circles. He was elected school
commissioner by the Republicans of the
Ninth Ward in 1890 and again in 1892. He
belonged to Kane Lodge and was an active
member of Corinthian Council, Royal Ar
canum, which he had served as represen-
tative to the grand council.
A widow. who was Miss Florence E.
Hewes, and two daughters, survive him.
The funeral services were held at the
South Baptist Church, Newark, last even
ing, and the remains will be inferred in
Mount Holly cemetery today.

The Newark Neps says: There will
be nipping political frost for somebody
in Burlington County if Assemblyman
Shedaker succeeds in blasting the ambi.
tions of Henry l. Budd to succeed himself
as State Road Commissioner.
When the Legislature opens to-day the
appointed officers In the House from this
county will be: Assistant to Clerk. Regi.
maid Branch. Burlington; doorkeeper,
John Seeds, Sr., Riverside; gallery keep.

understood that appointed officers will
hereafter serve but one year.
Apropos of the appointments in the
Legislature 1t might not be out of the way
to recall the fact that there are 46 Repub-
lican members of the House, among whom
there are SO offices to be distributed
From the list which has been shown us II
looks as if Burlington county has done Al
well as can be expected, and, as a close
examination will show, more than its Pre-
rata share. Fault FINDING criticism is mo-
calculated to aid the Governor in his de
sire to curtail expenses.
The announcement In local paper tina
'Assemblyman Benjamin D. Shedaker il
said to be candidate for State Commits
sioner of Roads" was the first intimatior
the general public had that there was tt

This may be so, but it is hardly likely
that Assemblyman Shedaker would go 81
far as to seek this position while still /
member of the Assembly. That would
be using his Office in a manner which Il
not generally accepted as prepe

About thirty people from Mount Holly
attended the theatre in Burlington, on
Saturday night, to witness a production
of George Klimt's realistic scenic comedy
drama. "On the Bridge at Midnight, and
its rendition brought merited applause
from large audience. There were hui
morous features and pathetic situations of
a most entertaining character, each per.
former being an artist of ability. Red
dy," the outcast, by Miss Alma Hearn,
and Germany" the character assumed
by Mr.. Klimt, deserve special mention.
Seldom has such scenery been put on the
Auditorium stage. The separation of the
knife bridge, through which a large
ship passed while putting out smoke and
steam, and the illuminated trolley cars
passing up and down the streets full oil
passengers, proved to be stage setting
lof unusual grandeur.
