GIVES AFFINITY" UP
OTTO F. FENTZLAFF GOES
BACK TO HIS WIFE.
Contractor, Whose Conduct Excited
NeighbOrs and Led to His Arrest,
Patches Up Trouble

Otto F.. Fentzlaff, the Montclair contract
or, who, several months ago. was threat
ened with a coat of tar and feathers. he
cause OF his alleged relations with his
h-ousekeeper, while living apart from his
wife, has finally settled his marital woes,
It is reported He is home again with his
wife. and his affinity Mrs. Mary Phillips
the housekeeper in q~uestion-is said to
have sailed for Hungary.
Fentzlsff. nearly a year ago, was arrested
and driven to the Montclair police station
one night, with Mrs. Phillips, while the
fire bells were tolled In the town. He de-
clared then tina he would never leave her,
and even when angry citizens of Montclair
tried to blow UP the home he had pro-
vided for her with dynamite, he stood his
ground.
Fentzlaff now says 'afinities'' are,a fail
ure, and he proposes to remain at home
and endeavor to regain the respect of his
fellow citizens. AS an evidence that he is
doing so, the fire company that tolled the
bell of the engine house when he was ar
rested, has restored him to membership.
Fentzlaff, who is middle-aged and has
three grown daughters and a son, lived
with his family Mt 1863 Harrison street,
Montelair. He was a model husband. He
took an interest in church affairs and
dabbled in politics. He owned considerable
real estate.
Little more than a year ago he met Mrs
Phillips, a pretty, da~rk-eyed. dark-haired
Hungarian actress. whose home was In
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Ten months ago he fur
nished a home for her at - Charles street,
Montclair, only a hundred yards from his
own home, and coldly made the
ment that he proposed to live in the
Charles street house, with the woman as
btO boucaIaapar Ho drauf ao n anptrarf
agreeing to pay his wife $40 a week for
household expenses, and. against the pro-
testations of his family. he moved his
trunk to the home he had furnished.
Immediately things began TO happen In
that part of Montclair. An indignation
meeting was held, and in February last
Chief of Police Gallagher was asked to
put an end TO the scandal. Occasionally
the crowd beat tin pans, and when, after
several weeks of this, tho ~nelghbors
gathered for a tar and feather party, the
police arrested the pair. Fentzlaff hitched
up a sleigh and was driven to the police
station. a great crowd following. He was
driven past his home while his wife sat
at the window.
The couple were released on a $1,000 bail,
which Fentzlaff furnished. At his trial
he was threatened with Imprisonment and
promised not to offend the decency OF
Montclair again, but he went back to the
Charles street house.
Finding force would not compel hei
father to return, his youngest girl, Louise
kept up a campaign of letter-writing
urging him to see the situation In its true
light. She wrote to Mrs. Phillips and
made personal appeals to her. A few
weeks ago Mrs. Phillips left on a trip tc
Wilkesbarre. Seeing her opportunity, tbs
girl renewed her appeals to her father
She Is reported to have succeeded.

JAGS FOR EVERY
DAY IN THE WEEK.
II You Want a New One, Attend the
Exposition at the Coliseum in
Chicago Christmas Week.

CHICAGO. Sept. SO.-Statisticians
have figured out that there are 6,397
different kinds of intoxicating drinks
made and used in the world, and 81, TAB
drinks of all kinds. including both
hard and soft varieties. OF the vast
number beer takes the lead as the most
consumed, and in the figures presented
in the United States ranks high as a
consumer, yet leads the list for tenn
perance and for low percentage of
drunkenness.
1t has also been discovered that prac-
tically every kind of food consumed
contains a percentage of alcohol, and
that an alarming number of so-called
soft drinks contain deadly poison in
greater quantities than is found in or
binary alcoholic beverages. These fig
ures present al interesting study, and
In order to present to the public in
the most logical and easily understood
manner, the various kinds and quanti-
ties of beverages consumed in the
United States, and to let them see how
they are produced and what precau-
lions the government takes to protect
it's people against injury from beyer-
ages, the most extensive exposition
ever held will take place in the Chicago
Coliseum December 20 to 81.
Here will be gathered together as
many of the 81, 743 varieties as 1t is
possible to get under one roof, and in
addition to exposing all the various
kinds, the government viii conduct a
testing station and give analysis of
everything that Is presented. One pur-
pose of this show will be to teach the
American public the folly of intemper-
ance and show by example and actual
test the harm that is worked by i'm
bibing too freely of the various o n
coctions on the market today sold as
thirst quenchers. Everything that has
to do with beverages and their produc-
tons viii be shown, and in addition to
the actual wet goods, all sorts of APP
planes and machinery used in their
production will also be exhibited.

COUNTY FAIR WILL
COME TO.CLOSE TONIGHT.
Managers Think They Will Not Be in
Debt, Despite the Bad Weather
Against Them.

Another big crowd visited the Essex
County Fair at Olympic Park yesterday
afternoon and last night, despite the rain.
Although the weather has been against
the promoters of the fair they believe they
will finish on the right side Of the ledger
tonight.
Today it Getaway Day. and the park
tomorrow will be stripped. OF the various
exhibits. booths and tents which have held
the fort for the past ten days. This after
noon a good card Of %trottlng and running
races will be run off In addition to the
various other events on the program.
Tonight an elaborate display of fireworks
will be set off, and the championship game
of basketball will be decided. There will
be roller skating and dancing for those
who desire such pastimes. and the usual
midway features and sideshows may be
enjoyed for the last time.
The feature of yesterday at the fair
was an exhibition given on the race track
by the 101 Ranch, a Coney Island attrac-
ton corralled for a temporary stay in New
ark. A young man in the audience helped
out their number immensely by making
futile but amusing efforts, which, 1t might
be said. came very near resulting trag-
ically. to master the bucking bronco. on
whose back no person has ever chung for
more than a few minutes. This youth vol
unteered from the audience to earn the
800 offered for breaking the horse to the
saddle. He had hardly gained the back %
the steed before he received a balloon as
cension andt for a moment mingled with
what appeared to him as stars. He landed
outside of the ring. bringing I'D several
feet beyond the inner fencing. The bronco
stampeded toward the audience. his fore
feet grazing the calf of a boys leg, who
escaped injury, but received the scare of
his life.
Herman Fl. A. Schmidt, jr, Who has been
looking vainly for some one to contest his
claim to the amateur skating champion
ship OF the State, gave a mile exhibition
race last night, the floor being cleared
for the spectacular run on rollers.

MORRIS PROHIBITl0NlSTS.
They Will Have Their own Candidates
on Election Day.

MORRISTOWN. Sept. 30.-With the in
dorsement by the A~ntl-Saloon League OF
the Democratic candidates for Assembly
to represent Morris County the local Pro
hibitionists are much put out. The league
has been wasing war against Assembly,
man Henry W. Buxton for what Is as
serted &c be his hostile attitude toward
the principles the league represents. Mr.,
Buxton, despite the %endeavors Of the
league agents. was nominated by Morris
County Republicans for Assembly.
1t had been planned by the Prohibition
lists to throw their strength to candidates
TO be nominated independently by the
Anti-Saloon League. The action OF the
league has forced them to put up a ticket
of their own. They lave named James c.
Van Glider and e. c. Woodruff for As
sembly, Ephraim Miller for Senator and
Andrew Dlsterway for Surrogate. The
Anti-Saloon League secured the promises
Of the Democratic candidates to vote for
their pet hobby and therefore gave them
their Endorsement.

teetive, and they found Green and
Nolan's wife of twenty-five years &C.
cupying the same room in the Ameri-
can Hotel.
Green was given a severe sentence in
court the next day, and Mrs. Nolan was
sent back to her twenty c~hildren-nin
boys and eleven girls-as her husband
was disposed to forgive her. But when
Nolan found she was visiting Green in
jail and carrying him delicacies he sued
for and obtained a divorce. Then Mrs.
Nolan and Green were married.
Mrs. Nolan-Green told Judge Claim
h a her husband beat and choked her
and threatened to kill her almost daily,
