KEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Injuries to Wives Before Marriage.

49,
The Supreme Court of this State
has handed down a decision which
may be of interest to young men en-
man who marries a girl cannot set up
any claim to damages for injuries
sustained by the bride before her
marriage. William G.. Meade and
his wife, of Paterson, were the plain
tiffs. Theywere at a picnic In Baum's
Park a few months before their mar
riage and the young woman was in
jured by the falling of a balcony in
front of the dancing pavilion. After
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Meade
brought suit against Henry Baum,
proprietor of the picnic ground. A
jury in the Circuit Court awarded
Mrs. Meade $500 for injuries to her
foot and her husband was awarded
$500 for the loss of his wife's serv-
ices. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court. The Judgment in
favor of Mrs. Meade is permitted to
stand, but the court decides that the
husband is not entitled to damages.
The court in it's opinion says: 1T is
impossible to conceive of any legal
principle upon which the action of
the husband a be supported. 1t is
true that it is pleaded and proved
that at the date of the accident there
was a mutual agreement between the
plaintiffs to intermarry, but although
the female plaintiff was under con-
tract to marry the male plaintiff, no
action by him will lie against the de-
PENDANT for either preventing the ex-
ecution of that purpose or for caus-
ing the promise to be of less value
and more ~burdensome to him"

New York City.-The team of
American athletes that will repre-
sent the Stars and Stripes in the
Olympic games at London, England,
next month, was selected at a joint
eonclave of the executive and selec-
ton committees of the American
Olympic Committees. The session
took place at the Aston House and
all day long those in authority dis
:ussed the abilities at home and
chances abroad of each available AN
1idate. After a long list of perfor-
ners at three different tryouts and
two intercollegiate championships
had been sifted and culled the fine
string of 76 men was agreed upon.
It is by far the biggest team ever
mustered in America for a fixture in
foreign lands. The men represent all
walks of American life-college men
and athletic club men and hail from
all quarters, the North, South, East
and West of the United States. The
competitive grounds which the team
will cover includes events at track
and field sports, ~aquatics and wrest-
iing-making about thirty distinct
contests in all. All of these will be
held inside the huge stadium at Shep-
herds Bush,

Just Said About the Bible.

The. first book that was given me
was a Bible, and in those far off gypsy
days, as a little nomad, a little stran.
ger, when I could not tell A from 2,
1 used to open the book under a hedge
OF a tree, or in the corner of a field
and very often it was the wrong way
up. But that did not matter; t. was
all there, and l used to kneel down
beside it and pray this prayer: "Oh,
God, 1 cannot read Thy book, but
would You fill my heart with it's
spirit" And the Lord heard that
prayer long before l could read a
letter; and I should not have been
where l am to-day if l had not kept
up that sort of attitude, and l have
tried to cultivate the art of living in
an atmosphere of talking to God.
And, men and women, you will have
to get there if you are going to be OF
any service to God and humanity

Brooklyn, N. Y.

No New Trial For skilIman.

William H. Skillman, of Somerset
County, who is under conviction for
forging a paper purporting to be the
last will of William Lanehart, his
neighbor, has been refused a new
trial. Justice Minturn having filed in
the Supreme Court an opinion sus-
tanning the conviction of Skillman.
Judge Theodore B. Booraem presided
at the trial of Skillman. The admis-
sion of testimony relating to the ex-
ecution by Mr.. Lanehart in New York
of what was known as the Race
will was the point raised in two of
the exceptions. The Supreme Court
holds that the admission of this will
vas competent for the purpose of es-
tablishing the fact that Mr.. Lanehart
had executed and preserved a prior
will radically inconsistent with the
provisions of the document drawn by
Mr.. Skillman, Mr.. Skillman former
ly was president of the State Associa-
ton of Horticulturists. He is old
and feeble.
