CLUB WOMEN HEAR
MRS. G. ADAMS-FISHER

The lecture given by Mrs. Gertrude
Adams-Fisher of Los Angeles, Cal, before
the members of the local women's clubs
and their friends, in the Church of the Re-
deemer, last night, was heartily enjoyei-
in Il most entertaining way she talked Of
QUAINT Nuremberg, the Ancient" In
which old city she made a protracted stay
a few years ago, visiting its old abbeys anu
marts, and inspecting the wonderful speci-
mems OF medieval architecture which stand
today as firm as when the castles were
first erected.
or course the speaker related much that
is well known to readers of history but her
remarks we're none the less interesting on
that account. They were so interspersed
with her " memories of the city and her
views as regards Its people that a sign
went up as she concluded, testifying TO the
enjoyment she had given.
Mrs. Fisher told Of when Nuremberg was
first written on the slate of history, in
ssying that with it's natural adj
- res Of wood. streams and the twelve
higb hills on which it was built, Its prog
ress as the centre of the Old World was
III s,rnrising. She told of Its early In
,nstries. of how it started the making OF
compa sses. invented watches, made the
best church organs, and, fffy years beiore
printing was invented, it ran the hrst
paper mill. She gave lengthy descriptions
of It's castles. turrets, gables, roof pictures
aud heraldic carvings, and talked inter
cetjnsly of the old inn, famous for It's
gingerbread and sausages, giving accounts
of the medieval kitchen. Here every uten-
sill IS q work of art, being made OF nam
mered bronze and copper and wrought
iron.
In relating the history of Nuremberg
Mrs. Fisher said that grating was unlaw-
full: that a baker once lost both of his
ears for selling short-weight bread, and
that those who offered goods at abnormal
prices were severely punished.
Mrs. Fisher is a graduate Of the New
ark High School and of Wellesley College.
Her interest in Nuremberg was first in
spIred by Longfellow's poem on the place.
The lecture, which was illustrated with
about se~venty-ive calcium light views,
many of which were reproduced from
photographs taken by Mrs. Fisher, was
to raise money to pay the expenses of a
librarian, to take the travelling libraries
into the towns and homes in the sparsely
settled parts of the State.
The committee in charge included Mrs.
William III. Brown, president of the Ray
Palmer Club, chairman; Miss Annie l.
Tichenor, president OF the Philitscipoma
Club; Mrs. Henry A. Haussling, president
of the Sesame Club; Mrs. Frederick A.
Dudley, president of the Travellers Club,
Of Roseville; Mrs. Henry N. Sayr, presi-
dent of the Humane Society Auxiliary;
Mrs. Joseph r. Bradner, president of the
Saturday Club; Mrs. William II. King
president of the Half-Hour Reading Club;
Mrs. William L. Ross, president of the
Philomatheon Club. and Mrs. William IL.
Warner, president Of the S-alamagundi
Club.

FIGHT
Rogers, of Locomotive Fame,
She Salds Had Made
Verbal Bequest.
Especial to the evening start

TRENTON. Dec. 13.-In an opinion filed
in the Court of Chancery today Vice
Chancellor Emery orders that the suit
brought against the estate of the late
millionaire locomotive builder, Jacob S.
Rogers. by Mrs. Virginia Heinisch should
be dismissed. The suit was brought
against the estate for the purpose of estsb-
fishing a claim OF $100 900 which the COM
plainant and other heirs insisted that they
were entitled to receive. At his death, IL
was found that Rogers had devised to the
Metronolitan Museum of Art of New York
the greater part of his fortune, which
amounted to over 81, 900, 900.
The suit was brought to establish as part
Of the will, a conversation or promise that
was made by Jacob S. Rogers to his father,
Thomas Rogers. on the day preceding his
death, in which it was alleged that he de-
sired to change his will so that Mrs. Helm
isch would receive 500. 900, in addition to
the legacy then contained in the will. 1t
was claimed that Jacob Rogers had told his
father not to let the changing of the will
effect him, and promised that he would
provide for Mrs. Heinisch, who was his
half-sster. and would leave her well cared
for.
