OBITUARY.
HENRY S. TALMAN

Passed away at his home No. AZ New
ton avenue about 1 p m. last Monday
after brief Illness of pleuro- pm eumonia.
The news of the death of this respected citi-
zen Of our city came like bolt Of lightning
from clear sky. Only those closely allied
TO him knew Of his serious illness, because
he bad been so recently among us; intimate
friends, however, knew for be past few days
that he was making heroic fight for life,
attended by skillful physicians and train ed
nurse and his DEVOTED wife.
For year or more Mr.. Talman has been
au examiner under the State Department of
Banking and Insurance. His duties took
him much from home, and it is learned
that he returned on Friday, September
25, with cold that developed pleurisy /;
pleuro pneumonia developed later, and his
naturally frail constitution yielded to the
rayages of the disease
Henry s. was the youngest son Of the late
E. c. Talman, widely known merchant of
Swedesboro. As young man he entered
the First National bank, Philadelphia, and
when the Farmers and Mechanics bank was
established here in 1897, his services were
secured as cashier. Under his guidance
this institution at once gained the conf
dence OF the people, and its progress to a
place of first rank among those of its class
was rapid. Four years ago his health be-
came impaired, and be resigned that position
and with his wife spent much time in travel
away from she rigors of northern winters
Two years ago DO. Watkins appointed him
one Of the Examiners under the State Bank
ing Departments, and he has given valuable
service until the last week in September.
For five years-from 1890 30 1S95-he
was County Collector-aEd for number Of
years was member Of the Board OF Direc-
tors Of the Woodbury. Real Estate Mutual
Loan Association Mr.. Talman was pre-
eminently fuancier, and accuracy to the
penny in all his official relations made him
an invaluable member of any public finan-
cial institution.
He was a member of the Presbyterian
Church, and for many years its treasurer.
He is survived by his wife, and one
brother, ex-Judge Albert R. Talman, of
Swedesboro.
The funeral service was held at his late
home at 80 to-day, the interment being
private at Woodland Cemetery, Phila.
The pallbearers were: Messrs. J. F.
Graham, Joseph R. Newton, Joseph J..
sunmerill, Joseph w. Merritt, Clarence
H. Batten, Leon v GaTrop.

TO BREED BETTER HORSES.

Newark Evening Neacs: There was time,
some IA or Is years ago, when the phrase,
ITO improve the breed of horses, = was a
by-word and reproach in this State.
Every racetrack association incorporated in
New jersey announced this as its purpose,
when as a matter of fact the main and al
most whole object was to promote racetrack
gambling. And this, too, not as straight
sport, but under the most crooked prac-
tlses that the track proprietors and race
horse owners could concoct to rob the very
public that patronized them.
Times have so changed since 1898 4, that
the State itself is now party to a plan 30
improve the breed Of horses. Last spring
she Legislature passed an act, fathered by
Senator Frelinghuysen, Of Somerset, pro-
viding for State Live Stock Commission
TO consist of the director Of the State ex-

JACK LONDON SAFE

ANN ~
The special correspondent OF
the Woman Home Companion
in San Francisco has telegraphed
thcfollowing message in regard to
Jack London:
San Francisco, Jan. 81, 1908.
Jack London and wife arrived
on the Mariposa, safe and we'll.
Shark laid up for repairs.
London's bankers in Oakland,
|dcspairing Of his safety, recently
recorded the mortgage against his
home at Glen Ellen, which was
drawn last April in order that the
adventurous writer could obtain
funds with which 10 fit out the
Shark. 1t was understood that
the mortgage was to he held with
out being recorded as long as
Londons safety seemed assured.
The action of the bank was taken
as an indication that its officers
feared he had met disaster.
Jack London left Hilo. Hawaii.
on October 9th for Tahiti of the
Society Islands on his voyage
around the world for the Woman's
Home Companion in his little
lsetch-rigged boat the Shark. He
should have reached Tahiti by the
first of December. and it was fear
ed that some serious accident had
befallen him. With London In
the Shark were his wife, James l..
WARREN, who is captain, Martin
johnson. the engineer. one sailor
and two Japanese servants.
London intends to spend seven
years on his voyage around the
world, describing for the Woman's
Home Companion the life and
customs and countries of the
strange people he meets. From
the Society Islands he expects to
touch at Somoa, Tasmania, New
Zealand, Australia, New Guinea.
then up through the Philippines
to Japan, Korea and China, and
so on to India. After this is to
Europe. the Atlantic Coast of
America, and San francisco
again. vis the Horn.
The Shark is forty-five feet on
the water line, weighs thirty tons.
and has an auxiliary gas engine,
which. getting out of repair,
caused the delay that has OCCASION
ed SO much worry. The engines
are now being ovcrhauled ut
Papeiti. The boat, as originally
planned, was to cost $1,000. She
actually cost about S25, 900 before
she left San Francisco, six months
late, the terrible increase in cost
being due to the earthquake and
fire and to the subsequent scarcity
of labor.
