| ty stricken persons the police unavoid-
ably gather in.
saThe station house is not furnished
with the means of doing for these peo-
pie what they need to have done foI
them, nor was it intended for any
such purpose, and when the attempt
is made to put it to such use the
result is, to say the least, unsatis-
factory.
1T has struck me that way of
relief to the present undesirable sit
uation might be found by the estab-
lishment of a detention ward in con-
nection with the insane asylum at Ka-
lihi. At this place the suspects might
be held during such time as they were
under examination, and it might per-
haps serve as a retreat where DRINKS
and victims of delirium tremens, when
it was thought best, might be kept
until they had come to themselves. /"
On which the president makes the
following comments:
"Our hospitals are at times embar-
raised with persons, friendless, power
ty stricken and permanently incapa-
citated, who do not require treatment
but whom it is impossible to discharge.
Occasionally cases are met so physi-
cally ipcapacitated and INDECENT COM
mon humanity indicates provision
should be made for them.
Neither the Territory nor the coun-
ties are in a financial position to es-
institutions with costly plants and or
CARNATIONS, but I believe are bound
and justified in adding to the useful
ness Of existing institutions.
Outside, but adjacent to and maui
ka Of the asylum enclosure our able
bodied inmates are grading quite an
area of ground on which, might be
built the inf1rmary separate from the
asylum proper. but under the asylum
administration and supplied from the
directly adjacent culinary department
Of that institution.
Admissions to the infirmary should
be under the sole control of the Board
OF Health and those to the Insane
Asylum according to the laws govern
ing commitments.
Those institutions are and would
be open to all counties.
Should this proposal meet the ap-
prevail of the board / would suggest
the Legislature and Governor be re-
quested to consider changing the titles
OF the specific appropriations and
amounts to read as follows:
Salaries and Payrolls-Insane
Asylum and Infirmary, pay
rolls 20, 46O
Current Expenses-Insane Asy-
lum and Infirmary, mainte-
nance Asylum and Infirmary.$ As, 0O0
Thus the stigma, with all it's en-
barrassing consequences, of commit
| ment as insane, now imposed on those
| suffering. under temporary alteration
could be avoided and the feeble-mind-
| ed and other classes of physically and
mentally helpless and INDECENT be cared
for under proper conditions

HOW WILL THE
MONEY BE RAISED?

The Philadelphia Bulletin Friday
nighf said:
A letter was received by J.,,W.
Sell, County Collector of Camden
county, to-day, from State Comptroller
j. Willard Morgan, enclosing an opin-
ion from the Attorney General of the
State to the effect that the fiscal year
of the County Board of Freehoiders
should end on December 81 Hereto
fore the fiscal year in Camden county
has been fixed for May, and the an,
nual budget this year amounted to
$500, 900.
lit Will be necessary to raise $500,
600 ny bond issue or loan to tide the
county over until December 1 next in
order TO comply with the Attorney
Generals decision.
Just how this money can be raised
without increasing the burden of the
taxpayers is a question that is at pres.
ent puzzling the EreenoiGers.
County Collector Edward Bacon has
received the same notice from the
State Comptroller, and has submitted
the matter to the Finance Committee
of the Board. In this county the fiscal
year has always begun on the first of
MAY. Apprc priations have been made
at the annual meeting in May What
will be the effect of the new order
Gan the Board in May make appropri-
arions covering longer Period than
the year which will n, gin Jan. ],
1908, and end Dec. 81, 1908. II appro-
priations cannot be made for longer
period than 10 months, how will the
county provide for the time interven.
Ing between the first of May next and
the January following? The whole
matter will have TO be worked by the
Solicitor and Finance Committee be
ore the annual meeting in May.

WILL HAVE OFFICE
IN RESIDENCE,

Supreme Court Justice Thomas W.
Trenohard who has purchased the
mansion property of the estate of the
late Horace B. Shoemaker. will take
charge of the place shortly. and ar
range to move his residence there in
the spring. The Supreme Court JUS
tlce intends to make considerable i'm
provement to the house. It will be
repainted, and there will be consider
able other work necessary upon the in
terror. The entire interior of the
house is fitted up in hard wood and ia
In splendid shape.
one OF the particular reasons that
prompted Justice Trenchard to pur-
chase the large mansion was to pro-
vide for himself an office in his house,
Since he has been on the Supreme
bench Justice Trenchard has. of
course, abandoned entirely his prac-
tloe of law An Office down town is
not only wholly unnecessary, but is. as
matter of fact, inconvenient, He
intends to give up the office which he
has SO long occupied in the building of
the Cumberland Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company. He will move to his
home his very complete library and
office furniture, fitting up a large
apartment in the mansion for his pri-
vate library. On the circuit and at
Trenton as he is much of the time, the
Justice is obliged to give much of his
time at nights to the study of the
cases which come before him, and il
will prove much more convenient and
comfortable for him to be able to have
his entire library and office equipment
at home.
1t will seem strange not to find
Judge Trencharu's office down town,
In all the years he has been practicing
law, since he left the office of the late
Potter & Nixon, he has been located
in the rooms in the Mutual Fire In,
surance building. There he has al
ways been readily accessible, and his
callers warmly welcomed.

JORDAN AGAIN
IN THE TOLLS.

Some time nee John Jordan was
In jail. He was committed from
Millville. 1t seems that he and a
Mrs. Smith became enamored and the
latter gave up her home. husband and
children to enjoy the society of Mr..
Jordan. The latter was arrested for
some threats against the woman's
husband,
It was thought by the MilIville
authorities that Mrs. Smith would
give up Jordan, but when the fellow
got out of Jail Mrs. Smiths attach
ment for him was unchanged, and
they we're soon much in each others
company. They came to Bridgeton
together, and for day or two were
stopping on Chestnut avenue.
Warrants were sworn out against
each of them. and Friday afternoon
they were arrested. Officer Smith ar
rested Jordan, while Mrs. Smith Wis.
tied the Sheritf's office and was enter
tanned by that official until an officer
came along and picked her up Both
were taken back to Millville on a
trolley car, and Mayor Payne will
dispose of their cases.

The shortage, it is understood, was of
but small amount.
On Saturday morning he took his
gun and went out ostensibly to shoot
ducks, He came home at noon, but
the afternoon he went out again in
the woods with his gun. At night he
did not return, and yesterday morning

were searching in dense swamp of
briars and underbrush when they
came upon the dead body of the man.

pressed the trigger of his gun, afser
placing the muzzle under his chin
When lie left his home he had two
shells in his gun and one she'll in his
pocket. Only one shell was empty
when found,
Coroner J. Hitchner and County
Physician Diament were telephoned
TO and they left here on the 1 O'Clock
trolley and went to the scene of the
tragedy.
That it was plain case of self de-
struction was the decision of the cor
oner and the physician
Besides his watch and some other
things found upon his person there
were two letters, one addressed to his
wife and the other to @. Edward
Lacey. To Mr. Lacey, the letter read:
Dear Sir:-I have deceived you and
everybody else in life. have taken
life in my own hand and committed
suicide, Hush this matter up about
shortage, as my wife will pay all bills
as soon as insurance and lodges pay
up. @. Mason.'
To his wife he wrote:
Dear ife:-I have killed myself,
as l am short and will not have the
disgrace to come to you. so do this.
You will get some money from the
K. of T. and the Mystic Chain. Pay
my bills, and you will have enough to
start somew here in business. Good
by, love, and hope you much happi-
ness in life, as mine has been a blank,
love, 70 you. Give my love to my
parents. Goodbye, my darling wife.
Your loving husband.
The 1oung man WAS we'll liked in
the place and always bore an excel
lent rsFptalion, and his friends were
greatly slrprised at the step he took,
as be could have had all the money
he needed fer the asking.
The remains were turned over to an

SHAW SALE WAS BIG ONE.

As was predicted Harry Shaw's
.olo Of livery stockiThursday was a
,Ia one. There were people there,
orovds OF them, and the buyers had
tbs cash with them. They were an
ticipating bargains.

* from the opening of the sale until the
dav closed and the people stayed with
them. The two auctioneers relieved
q each other, first one crying the sale
nntil out Of wind, and then the other.
The sale was managed by the vet
eran of horse sales, Florence L. Fral-
niger, and while their was much noise
and iollity among the crowd, and such
multitude of bidders it was remark
ahle that there was so little confusion
! in the sales.
AS usual with such sales it began
with selling off odds and ends of things,
usually called "old trash,' followed
by the sales of wagons, harness,
sleighs, blankets, robes, whips, office
furniture, etc.
For the harness, blankets, robes,
etc. fair prices were realized-some
said these things brought all they
were worth while others said they
went off at bargain prices. With
wagons, the prices were said to be
from cheap to middling fair, as for
instance, two funeral cabs, worth fully
$3.50 each went off for $75 each.
Horses showed the upward tendency
\ in the price of horse flesh. for it had
N been considered that the horses to be
n sold were not up to very high stand
ard, some of them actually said to be
! in the "oid skate" class yet some OF
them we're knocked down at $1321a
$136 and $40. Work horses brought
from 500 to over hundred dollars.
Florence Fralinger. when asked,
remarked enthusiastically, "The sale
was a cracker jack 1t must have
been. The clerks, John B Hummill
and Harry B Bamford, were kept
busy taking down and settling the
bills as the sales were bid off.

owing to the darkness coming on. will
