Because his desire for drink was SO
great that he got intoxicated the day after
his wedding, while on his honeymoon,
Lewis Marter, of Edgewater Park, was
sued for divorce by his wife, Mrs Ollie
Marter, and Special Master in Chancery

divorce for Mrs. Marter.
The Matters were married in Trenton

Marter. declaring he could not support
his wife, sent her to her parents in
Georgetown, and went himself to Paterson
where he secured employment as a steam
filter. He remained there several months,
steadily refusing to allow his wife to join
him.
Special Master Gnichtel in his report
says it is evident that Marter's desertion
was due to his drinking habits. Mrs.

for women and drink and was extremely
lazy. ''If my husband had worked stead

After his return from Paterson the wife

of whom are dead.

Those who are opposed to the project
are opposed simply to the plan for expend-

Education will now ask the aid of the
Attorney General in compelling the Coun-

ing game by the score of to 3. the first
defeat in eight games.
Five innings were all that Riverside and
Bordentown could play on Saturday,
owing to rain, but in that time Borden
town was victorious-2 to 0.
Twenty five cents is not too much for a
good game of ball, but for such an exhibi
ton as was given last Saturday, nickel
was entirely too much to give up.
Beverly Y. III. G. A. and Fidelity from
Riverside, had good contest on Satur-
day. The game was exciting to the end,
the score being 8 to A in favor of Fidelity.
Owing to a Misunderstanding of dates,
the Keystone team went to Beverly on
Saturday to play the Y. M. c. A. of that
place, only to find that the game had been

have been shutout, but Hermon got one
in the last inning. The score was to l.
Rain stopped the game between Bur.
lington and Bloomsdale on Saturday in
the eighth inning, and it was probably 6
good thing, as the visitors were knocking
the ball all over the field and had run the
score up to nine, Burlington not being
able to score.
Germantown and Delanco had fine
game of base ball on Saturday, which re
suited in a victory for Delanco by the
score of one to nothing. One of the
features of the game was the fast fielding
of "Jakey" Ellis, who played shortstop

This mornings daily papers contain the
announcement of the arrest of Ogden H.
Maths, to answer an indictment found by
the United States Grand Jury at Trenton
The arrest was made by Marshal Alcott
yesterday. Maths was taken to Trenton
and gave bail. The event was not unex-
pected to many as it was known that com
plants had been made against the post
master and had been the subject of inves
tigation by post office inspectors.
Some time ago Maths made change in
the clerical force in his Office and those
who were deposed used information in
their possession to.get even.
The Indictment charges Maths with sell
ing thousands Of dollars worth of stamps
to Dreer & Co., Philadelphia seedsmen,
whose nurseries are located at RiYerton,
and then not accounting for the stamps
during the quarter in which they were
sold, but turning in the money during the
last quarter in the year, when his compen-
sation for the next year would be fixed.
Maths is charged with selling In the
quarter ending March II, 1904, $2S9O
worth of stamps to Dreer & Co. and of &C
counting for $500 that quarter. He is also
charged with doing the same thing in the
quarter ending March 81, 1905, when it is
alleged, he held back nearly $4,000 until |
the last quarter on sale of $2275. In the
quarter in 1905, it is
charged, he held back $1,000 in $175S
sale to the Dreers.
Under the regulations everything must |
be settled for at the end of each quarter. |
1t is alleged, therefore, that the postmas-
ter has been defrauding the Government
in thus increasing his pay.
The practice ofseliing stamps for the pur-
pose of increasing the postmaster's salary is |
one which the Government objects to in |
the most severe terms. yet it is carried on
in many post Offices Riverton is not the |
only office which is guilty, and there are
others in this County said to be under
with fair chance OF sensa. |

TEST SKILL AND SIREN 9Th
Are You Sure You Can Twist a
Five Dollar Bill in Two?

The paper that is used by the gov
eminent IN It's currency is ms nufactur-
ed by secret process and has charac-
teristics Wi which the average man is
not familiar, said Arnold Schorer. of
Minneapolis, Mimi.
Recently | was in a small Mime
sofa town and witnessed an incident
that demonstrates this. A well-to-do
farmer living in the vicinity came into
the bank to transact some business.
In the course of the conversation the
cashier began twisting a FIVE dollar
bill. The farmer watched him with
interest and finally asked the man back
of the counter if he wasn't afraid of
tearing the bill.
Here is an easy way for you to earn
money, said the cashier. Here is a
81, 600 bill and l will give it to you if
you will twist the bill in two. You
are simply to twist it and not tear it.
The farmer seemed dumfoundered
at first. He seemed over awed at the
thought Of mutilating a $1,000 bill.
Upon further assurance by the officer
of the bank, he tint, l. took the money
and started twisting ic in the middle
He tugged away for some time without
being able to twist the bill in two.
Finally he gave it up and ne was GER
tainly a surprised farmer. It is impos-
sible to twist bill in two, so firm and
elastic is the PAPER used.
