TRENTON, Oct. 2:-Gov. Stokes
has accepted an invitation to spent
some time at the camp of the Bloom
ing Grove Club in Pike County, Pa.
This club is composed of promin.
ent Trentonians and the governor ex.

been i'll for some time, but insisted
on continuing his work. His physic
ians have told him plainly he mus
take a rest or suffer the consequence

When the governor is away there
will be no executive pro tenn, because

telephone. He will be in communica-
ton with the capitol two and three
times daily, and should his presence
be required here he will come at
once.
When a governor of New Jersey

it unnecessary to have Senator Brad

recurrence OF warship accidents such

ASSAULT CASE
is WITHDRAWN

Paul Andres, of G13 Fayette street
who, as told in the NEWS yesterday
was cut with a knife in the hands o
Mike Miller, of Stockton street, ar-
peared before Recorder PIckersgil,
last night and wanted to withdraw
: charge, if Miller would pay him
$40 and settle the doctors bill.
Sunday morning Miller was tried
and held on $500 bail for the grand
jury.
The recorder told him he could
not make Miller pay the doctors bill,
as the police court was not a collec-
ton agency. The case was finally
settled by the charge of assault being
changed to dlsorderly conduct, and
Miller, who had been in a cell all day,
was released after paying a fine Of
$25.
A case in which a foreigner from
Fords was involved, resulted in the
offender being fined $40. This he
did not have and the recorder told
Sergeant Mulligan to take him to his
cell. The fellow made a backward
move when Sergeant Mulligan APP
preached him, and thinking that he
was about to hit the sergeant, Con-
stable Brown, who was standing near
by, jumped up and grabbed him. A
tussle ensued in which the officer was
best, and the prisoner was locked up.
The constable said that he thought
the prisoner was going to strike Ser
geant Mulligan.

A story OF ID

~sShibusawa, or the Passing OF old Japan
by ]. William Adams (Putnams), Is a Jspa-
nese story with a strong American accent
and very modern sentiments. There is a
sprinkling OF Japanese terms In the text HIS
well as q generous use OF unpronounceable
names. There are some splashes Of local
color andmuch exploitation Of Japanese Gus
toms already well known and offensive to the
Western idea OF moral decency. Shibusawa,
the hero, was the well beloved son Of a lord
daimyo in the days when the shoguns ruled
with the Mikado in old Japan. He was an
adventurous lad possessed Of an up to date
espirft and ran away from home early in his
career. like any Bowery boy, TO see the world
for himself, tfirted with the gardeners
daughter in the Mikado's grounds, welded
the child Of the Mikado's fayoTite c~oncuOine
IN obedience TO his father. aud then ran
away again TO sail on board Commodore
Perry's warship.
All Of this happens in The first ten chapters
Of the book. The remaining thirty-one
chapters are filled with heroic deeds, and a
final reconciliation with his early sweet
heart, not to mention the defeat OF the
shogunA and the triumph OF The Mikado.
-~Shibusawa" IL an ambitious tale and an
ample one but IL lacks the japanese favor
and spirit.
