April Session OF Cumberland
Court.

0oulV.
Judge Trenchard held the usual Or
phan's Court and Appeal Court Mon
day.
A commission composed of Hampton
Fithian, VIM. B. Trenchard and DIR.
Fogg had been appointed to inquire
into the sanity OF Mary Harmon. Ros-
roe @. Ward was the attorney in the
t4se and the hearing took place in
the Grand Jury room.
The matter OF the exceptions to the
account of John P. Gage was con-
tinued until the Sch of June.
W. HI. Logue, Esq, who has so sue
cessfully conducted the cases Of Thos.
E. French, Receiver of the defunct
Millville Marine Insurance Co., which
are being rapidly settled, asked for
the continuance Of the cases until the
appeal day in May, pending their set
tlement. The motion was granted.
Only one appeal case was moved for
trial. This was the case OF Isaac H.
PerIine against James Cemino, for the
loss of some berry crates. Judgment
had been given by the court below,
but the case was appealed on the
ground that the Fruit Growers Asso-
citation was the party responsible for
the crates, and not the present defend
ant.
The case is from YineIand.

..!Poor Outlook for Glass Now.

Clayton, March 31.-The prospects
for the glass trade next year are con-
sidered poor. Ever since the fires
were started last September there has
been hardly factory in South Jersey
that has employed its full force OF
men. and alreadyssmany of them have
shut down part of their plants. The
season here has been worse than for
many years and many factories have
thousands of dollars worth of ware
for which they have no orders stored
in the packing sheds.
A prominent glassblower in speak
ing of the situation to-day said !:
i"There will only be one of two things
to do next Fail: work for less money
or strike. Hundreds of blowers have
had such little work this year that
when next Fall comes they will be
willing to work for almost anything
they can GET

PITMAN CAMP
MAY BE ABANDONED.

Pitman Grove, N. j., April 4.-Will
the great Pitman Grove Camp Meeting
Association seek new field for it's
summer services, now that this place
has become a borough? There is
rufnor afioat to this effect, which can
not be verified at this time.
II the new borough law annuls the
Camp Meeting Associations charter.
that heretofore strong organization has
lost control OF the great camp grounds,
and, with this lost, it is said. the
meetings cannot be the same as have
prevailed for more than quarter OF
century.
1t has been limited that the associa-
tion might cast it's lot with the Ma
tional Park Camp Meeting Associa-
tion. and. with the experience and
money of the former, the latter could
be made into one of the greatest camp
grounds in the State. But National
Park is borough also.
Many of the Pitman Grove camp
stockholders are Interested in the Nal
aga camp grounds, where meetings al
ways follow the closing of the PItman
series, and it is not improbable that
the joining Of hands, money and ex-
perience might follow.
A season under borough'government.
however, might not prove such a
drawback as is asserted it will. One
thing is sure, and that is, Pitman will
never lose it's popularity as summer
resort. The many homes here built
expressly for summer outings, easy of
access for commuters and the many at
fractions stamp Pitman as resort
that will live even without the meet
ings. which are the incentive for
thousands who come down each sum-
mer.

Recently Parisian shopllfter
was arrested and searched. To the
amazcmcnt Of the officials her plum
der was not articles OF feminine

When her apartments were
searched 1900 pipes were found,
some of which were handsomely col

Although for awhile She stoutly
protested her innocence. she AT last
broke down and confe. scd that she
was addicted 10 the use Of tobacco
and suffered from a form Of klep-
tomania which led her 20 steal every
handsome pipe which she could
make away with without discovery.
She made no attempt 10 dispose
of her pipes for prost, but kept
them in cabinets in her home. Not

Many Englishmen are wont to
pride themselves that England il
the home and parent of the mutual
benefit friendly society. The claim
could scarcely be substantiated. In
old Montpelier there still fourishes
a mutual benefit friendly society
under the title Of st. Faith which
has an unbroken history dating back
to about 1920. Statute books dat
ing to 1902 are still preserved, and
they are believed to be but reproduc-
tions of statutes in force century
nr two earlier, which were burned
during the civil war Of the sixtecnih
century. During all these centu-
ries the society has never failed its
members in case Of sickness, injury
or infrmitv.

BESSEMER'S DEVICE.
His Reward For It Came When He TO
Longer Wanted Nj oney.

n an Autobiography Of Sir Henry
Bessemer Is told how, IN 1888. when
he was a youth Of twenty. he learned
that the British Cove mcnt was
losing about $jOc.oUJ a year
through the use Of forged stamps.
lie set about finding q remedy In
nine months hc i-,oNered how 10
forge government stamps with the
greatest ease. This was risky bit
Of knowledge for struggling Young
man who wanted money wherewilh
10 get ma cried 10 the girl of his
choice. But Young Bessemer, hay-
ing invented forthwith the perforat-
ed stamp that i now known every
where. went gaylN to the govern
ment officials with the forgeries in
his pocket 10 ask if they we're gen
uine. When Sir Charles Presley
passed therl a. genuine Bessemer re-
marked that he knew they were
forgeries- simply because | forged
them myself" Then he suggested
a remedy. 1t was accepted. Besse-
mer was offered the post of superin-
tcndent of stamps-for plant and
staff must be rcorganized-at
81. 900 to 1900 wear.
Young Bc--cm went away hap
pily To tell his good luck TO the girl
Of his choice. lie explained 10 her
tie situation. how old stamps had
been picked of documents and used
again and how he had invented an
elaborate plan to remedy this But
surely" said the Young lady, IF all
the stamp rad date put on them
they could not at future time be
used without detection" This
rather startled Young Bessemer.
But he devised a simple method Of
marking the date. The British gov
ernment was delighted. The device
va, accepted. And. "a no change OF
machinery or staff was needed, Bes-
scmcr was informed that no superin-
tendcnt Of stamps would be appoint
ed. Thus he had deprived himself
Of job.
Fortv-ive wears later, after he
had invented the "Bessemer proc
e~s Of preparing iron and had made
\ great fortune, Bcsscmer wrote to
Lord Bcaconsiicld. then prime min

the country millions without the re-

wanted money, but the government
acknowledged the debt and paid it
with 4 knighthood.
