of this hermit woman this afternoon. The
howell which this eccentric character called

woods, and hundreds of people have
driven close to it without knowledge that
such place was in existence.
Samuel F. Brick and Albert Sharp,
the appraisers, together with the admins
traitor, in their search of the hut during
the past week. found about $25 in money.
nearly all of which was hidden away in
tin cans or boxes and tied up in bits of
paper. The largest amount found at one
place was a 81 bill, the balance being in
small coins. 1t was common thing to
find penny or two, or nickel, wrapped
in paper with apple or other seeds in the

She Had a Good I.anah

Eight hours of hearty laughter, from {
to 10 o'clock, without scarcely minutes
rest, was the discomfort endured bv Miss
Barbara Barr, popular girl of Florence
and member of the Baptist Church choir.
Miss Barr was visiting at the home of
some friends, Tuesday afternoon, and
during the conversation some one made a
witty remark, which was enjoyed with
laughter by those present. After a few
minutes Miss Barr found 1t impossible to
stop laughing, and each minute the laugh.
ter grew more hearty until fatal result
was feared
Her laughing could be heard for quite
distance. All kinds of household remed.
les were tried. such as throwing water in
her face, and endeavoring to make her
angry, but without success. Drs. Thacher
and Baird were summoned and convened
the exhausted and semi-conscious girl to
her home.
Until 10 o'clock she continued The
physicians seemed unable to cope with the
unique case, and the girl grew weaker
every minute. Finally, still laughing, she
sank into slumber and the spell grad
ually passed away.
When she awoke the effects for some
time rendered her almost helpless. The
peculiar thing about the case is that she
does not remember the joke and was not
cognizant of her spell of laughter.
The physicians have forbidden any one
to pass witty remarks in her presence un.
til she has regained her health.

E1ectrocution Law

| There promises to be great deal of con.
fusion resulting from the electrocution
law, which went into effect in New Jersey
| on Friday. 1t is believed that a great
deal of time will be required to make the
change in substituting the electric chair
for the gallows for condemned murderers.
Lawmakers forgot to include the death
penalty bill in the annual appropriation
bills last year, and another could be done
toward carrying out its provisions. The
trainers of the bill made it effective March
l, 1907, in order to give time enough for
the erection of a death house and the
equipment of the place with the necessary
electrical apparatus. but they were
thwarted by the negligence of the Appro-
priations Committees.
Early this session bill was introduced
appropriating $1,000 for the building of
the chamber of DEATH 1t has passed the
Senate. but it is still hanging fire 10 the
House. Even in the event of it passing
both branches and being signed by the
Governor the appropriation will not be-
come available until November /, next, un-
less some special provision is made for
the immediate payment of the amount.
And even If this provision is made it is
generally conceded that the amount is
entirely too small for the purpose.
DR.. George B. Wright, State Commits
sioner of Charities and Corrections, who
has charge of all the building operations
OF the Commonwealth, declares that the
building and equipment required for the
electrocution Of criminals cannot be erect
ed and completed for less than $50, 1000
All of this places the State authorities
in quandary, for the electrocution bill
provides that there shall be no more hang
ings after March /.
1t was the original intention to have
the electrocutions at the State Prison.
but Trenton people made such a protest
that last winters bill was amended to
have the executions at some isolated place.
This adds to the cost. Doctor Wright
urges that sentiment be cast aside and the
death chamber be constructed at the
prison, where executions can be con-
Quoted with greater economy for the State
and with less horror and publicity.

New England Colony.

On Friday the regular monthly meeting
of the Burlington County Colony of New
England Women, was held at the home Of
one of its members, Mrs. Richard P.
Holeman, Garden street, Mount Holly. Il
certainly was an event of unusual enjoy
ment, as. with the well-known hospitality
of the hostess, she had provided unique
luncheon consisting of all the so-called
New England dishes. which were served
in the spacious dining room, where all
could be comfortably seated around the
table and really enjoy the generous repast.
Each guest was expected not only to
help herself but to see that her neighbor
was supplied as well with all she desired
of the many good things presented.
Each of the New England states was
represented, and In the absence of guests
other than of New England origin, as
we'll as the absence of servants, enabled
the members to divulge many of the early
New England traditions and membranes
that had been handed down from gener-
alton to generation until, by repetition.
they had been accepted as facts.
1t certainly was merry company of
women that at last was called to order by
the Vice President, Mrs. Harriet NJ. Pan
coast. and business was taken up.
1t is the custom of the colony to have
some story of old New England read and
commented upon at each meeting, but as
one and all had contributed so much In
that line at the table. the time left was
taken up with routine business and the
greeting of two new members.
The next meeting will take place after
the return of the President, Mrs. E. B.
Shovel, who, with her husband, is now in
Florida. 1t will be an occasion of inter
est, as the charter will then be presented
by Mrs Frelinghuysen Seward, President
of the National Society of New England
women.
