fOndly known by her friends had reach
ed ripe old age, being in her Seth year,
and had outlived all of numerous
and highly connected family. She had
long been a member of the Presbyte.

church loses the example of one OF the
sweetest of Christian characters; an
unselfish, pure existence, as gentle as
it was strong and affectiOnate-a bene
diction to those with who she came In
contact. She was closely related to
the Pattesons at Augusta Springs, the
Bells of Staunton and the Wardens OF

Ginning years Sunday afternoon at 4

Bell, Jr., and was generally attended
by near relatives and friends. Rev.

TRENTON, March 81, 19O6.-Gover-
nor Stokes has expressed much concern
over the charges that Senators Shinn and
Martens had agreed to accept briibe of
$400 from Philip Kremke, President Of
the New Jersey Pawnbroker's Associa-
tion, to hold up two bills in committee,
as Mr.. Kremke in an afidavit charged.
The Governor has held several inter
views with Senators, whose names are
not involved in the scandal, and to all he
conveyed the impression that unless a
thorough investigation was assured with
out his intervention he might feel impel-
led to convey his views to the Senate in
an official form.
1t is probable that the Governor will
be consulted as to the scope of the inves-
tigation which many of the Senators be-
lieve should be broad enough to cover not
only this instance but many others where
intimations Of corrupt methods in the
consideration of bills are the subject of

NEWARK, March 81, 1sO6-In dis
cussing the Senate committees substitute
of the Bishops high iicenee bill, Rt- Rev.
Bishop John j. O'ConnOr. of the Newark
diocese. said
''If the bill as presented will do away
with the existing evils complained OF by
the clergy, we win be satisfied. But the
question is, viii it eliminate those evils?
If those evils stil continue after the law
goes into effect the agitation for reforIa
as originally planned in the bills before
they were modified by the committee viii
be kept up.
.The age of eighteen years instead Of
twenty-one, as reported in the modified
minor clause, is satisfactory, because 1
believe it would be hard to distinguish
between the two ages.
The modified bill in general, viii give
some improvement over present condit-
ions and that is what we are seeking"
he concluded.
Bishop Lines, of the Episcopal Diocese
of Newark, said this morning that he had
read the amendments and understood
them, but had no comment to make at
the present time.
Rev. Father John F. Ryan. Of St.
Bridget's Roman Catholic Club. Jersey
City, gave out the following statement
yesterday:-
''The Avis substitute for the Bishops
bill should be called the brewers biIl'
The church people had some confidence
in Senator Avis's professed sincerity to
secure legislation that would eliminate
some of the existing abuses in connection
with the liquor traffic, but any man with
a spark of shame or independence left in
him would refuse to father the thing that
he has presented to the Legislature.
''The brewers have made good their
boast that they would kill the Bishops
bill. The clause restricting the saloons
to one for every 200 people gives Jersey
City chance to get few more saloons,
and as we need them we ought to pro-
ceed at once to secure them. Adding
$50 to the minimum license fee is only a
joke. That is one of those drastic fea-
lures that the brewers will no doubt be
able to have removed at the proper time.
.sThere is one well-deined purpose In
the Avis brewers BILL That is to take
from Mayor Pagan the right to appoint
the excise commissioners. The machine
could not resist the temptation to use
any means, fair or foul, to take from the
reformers the results and rights that ac-
cure to the yietors in political fight"
