SAYS M ARE IN SUIT
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Peculiar Allegations Made in Motion in
Case Involving Sale of Tract
of Land

A peculiar case was discussed before Vice.
Chancellor Howell in Chancery Court to-
day. when William H. Osborne, on behalf
of his client, Edward S. Savage. of Rah-
way. offered a motion to have the names
of several complainants stricken from d
suit in which Edward S. Savage is the dc
PENDANT. The Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad also figures in the litigation.
Some time ago Mrs. Valena Cocherone,
of RossvIlle, Staten Island, owned two-
thirds interest In n small tract of land In
the salt meadow bordering on the Phlladei-
phia and Reading Railroad, near the Port
Reading coal docks. Seven other heirs, all
residents of the South, had interests. When
she sold the property to Mr.. Savage she
divided the money proportionately among
the Southern heirs.
The railroad company had been occupy
ing the land with several distractions. and
Mr.. Savage notified the railroad company
to vacate. The railroad company disputed
Mr.. Savage's ownership, and Mr.. Savage
began suit to compel the company to do 50.
Immediately the railroad company al
legged that Mrs. Crocherone had no right IN
sell the land, and the Southern heirs were
made parties to the suit. Mr.. Savage and
his lawyer went South and eceived aft
davits from them that they knew nothing
of being connected with any litigation,
and further alleged that they were in no
way interested.
Mr.. Osborne asked the Vice-Chancellor
to strike their names from the papers. bit
Frank McDermit, counsel, objected to
this OF the ground that these affidavits
had been taken before a solicitor interested
In the suit and the Vice-Chancellor was
inclined to look with favor on this aspect
Of the case. However, he laid the matter
over until January 20, when the case will
be resumed. Mr.. McDermit claims that
he will be prepared with counter affidavi.s
from these same Southern heirs.

MANHOLES BLOW UP
AND PEDESTRIANS FLEE.
Early Morning Walkers Thought that
Strange Hostilities Had Begun
in the Hill Section.

Policeman Fischer and several pedes-
TRANS who happened to be in the vicinity
of Springfield and Belmont avenues and
Charlton street at 2:15 this morning were
startled by two loud reports which made
them feel that they were in the midst
OF a roaring battle.
Dynamite, %dynamite!" shouted one of
the men, and the excited ones ran in sew
eral directions. Fischer remained calm,
and on Investigating found that the cover
of a manhole in which the underground
cable Of the telephone wires was con-
nected at Springfield avenue and Charl-
ton street had been sent high into the
air as a result of an explosion of one of
the batteries, and hat a second one also
exploded at Springfield and Belmont ave-
nues.
No one was injured, and no damage was
done. as the explosion was in the middle
of the street. Fischer notified Sergeant
McGovern, who in turn notified the wire
chief of the company, and the latter saw
that the batteries were repaired ana
everything put In proper shape.

so glad to see her that she had to take
a few drinks to prove her friendship.

be better off in Jail than out she replied
that he was right, and she went there

Makes Ironing Easy.

A novel little outfit that will add
to the comfort of the woman who has
ironing to do may be purchased for
a very small sum-.
On one end of a short, smooth,
white board is tackled a piece of soft,
coarse muslin, neatly laid in several
folds; on the other end a sheet of the
finest emery paper is fastened;
screwed securely between these is "A
small iron stand, and near by is a
cake of wax inclosed in a linen cover.
Thus every accessory of ironing is
right at hand and the busy house
wife, removing the iron from the
stand, takes off all stray starch by
means of the emery, polishes the sur.
face on the a and gives the fin
fishing touch by rubbing the hot iron
over the thick folds of the cloth.

Home SOLDERING.

Many housewives think when a tin
pan has a hole in it that it is time
to throw it away. But holes in
tin pans and kettles may be very cas-
lily mended at home by any woman
with the aid of a candle and a spe-
cial solder that comes in the form
of a hollow wire filled with powdered
rosin. Hold the utensils so that the
candle flame is directly underneath
the holes, and after a few seconds
touch the solder lightly to the spot
and a drop will Immediately melt off,
filling the aperture.
When ordinary solder is used it be-
comes necessary to make a lux. This
is done by putting some bits of zinc
in a small bottle of muriatic acid.
Use a small glass pipette to put a
drop on the tin.

Horses still In Demand.

Happily the horse has a faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he is fated to be put out Of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
of the fact that the automobile indus
try has been engaged in similar un-
dertaking. The demand for horses is
still great. The suprAy Of some
classes of them is inadequate. The
prices are high. The automobile may
scare the horse into the ditch, but
1t isn't likely to crowd him to the wall.
There will always be a field for the
horse. as there will always be a field
for the automobile.-Hartford Times.

JAP YOUTH ON scHooLsHlP.
VIII Get Thorough Training on an
American Boat.

The first Japanese youth to be ad-
mitted to the crew of the %schoolship
st. Mary's is Katzern Artyoshi. Art
yoshi, who is II years old, has been
in the revenue cutter service on the
Pacific for the last three years.
As 1t is necessary for all foreigners
who wish to become members of the

Artyoshi was forced to get n before
he could be admitted to the crew. He
succeeded In getting Capt. Osborn to
act in that capacity. Capt. Osborn
will coach the boy along and help him
over the hard points in his lessons.
Artyoshi has not made up his mind
yet whether he will remain in this
country or go home to Japan after he
has been graduated from the school
ship. A term on the schoolship fits
a boy for service in the merchant ma
rine. Artyoshi says he likes the

Peru Claims kurokI.

Gen. Kuroki, the famous Japanese
soldier, has been v%ariously described
as of Polish, Russian and German ex-
traction. Another interesting chap
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium by an official publication
in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru,
which makes the claim, and submits
a plausible statement of facts to prove
it, that Kuroki's father was a Peruvian
patriot whose name was Transito
C%harroqui. It is also declared that
the generals father was a descendant
of the Incas, who themselves are be-
lieved to have been descendants Of an
Asiatic race, so Kuroki is an atavism
and has come into his own in the land
of his fathers.

Game Off of Finger-Cuticura REM
edies Brought Prompt Relief.

II had eczema on my hands for
about eleven years. The hands crack
ed open in many places and bled. One
OF my fingers was SO bad that the
nail came off. / had often heard of
cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but
had no confidence in them as / had
tried so many remedies, and they all
had failed to cure me. / had seen
three doctors, but got NO relief. Final
ly my husband said that we would
try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of
Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles
Of Cuticura R~esolvent Pills. OF course
keep C%uticura Soap all the time for
my hands, but the one cake of Soap
and half a box of Cuticura Ointment
cured them. 1t is surely a blessing
for me to have my hands well, and l
am very proud of having tried Cuti-
cura Remedies, and recommend them
to all suffering with eczema. Mrs.
