WOMEN ROUT WORKMEN
COME TO PLANT POLES.
Pat Bench Over Place They Dig

WEST COLLINGSWOOD May %
For two days the women of this village
have waged a successful war on a con-
struction gang of the Bell Telephone
Company, which has been unsuccess-
fully endeavoring to plant line of un-
slightly poles in front of the most attrac-
tive residences.
Mrs John Peterson waited until the
workmen had finished digging the first
hole. Then she took "a rubber plant
from her house and calmly deposited it
in the hole.
A second hole was dug. Mrs. Peterson
placed a big fern in it. When a third
hole was started Mrs. Peterson called to
her neighbors. A lawn bench was placed
over the hole, and several of the neigh
bors' wives seated themselves upon it.
Mrs. Peterson then proceeded to dig a
trench the entire length of her prop
erty, planting a line of Gala and dahlia
bulbs. The workmen started to dig
holes Just in front of her new bed of
bulbs. But as fast as the workmen dug
the women shoveled the earth back into
the holes.

MANDAMUS SUIT
TOCOMPEL COUNTY
TO PAY SMALL SUM

Mandamus proceedings to compel the
Board of Chosen Freeholders to pay
judgment of S4S874 were allowed by
Chief Justice Gummsre, in the Supreme
Court Circuit today, upon application
of Thomas Oakes, of Bloomfield, and
the rule made returnable at Trenton
June 2, the opening day of the next
term.
Mr. Oakes appeared on behalf of the
estate of William Bromley, which has
long standing claim against the coun-
ty, growing out of the widening of
Bloomfield avenue. When the taXpay-
ers on that avenue in Bloomfield were
assessed years ago, they appealed and
the upper courts upheld their appeal
The executors of the Bromley estate
never asked for the return of the money
that had been paid out by the estate,
but allowed the natter to rest until
recently, when suit VAS brought to
recover the amount together with in
terest. and judgment was procured.

Her PRETTY LAWN
Mansion and PurIieus Otherwise
Abused, Woman Charges
AL in Suit.

When Mrs. Sarah D. Stubbert rented
her handsome home, at 6S Douglas road,
Glen Ridge, to f. H. Sawyer, a wealthy
New Yorker, of 671 Greenwich street,
the broad, green lawn was one of the
prettiest in Essex County A week ago,
when Mrs. Stubbert went back to her
home, the grass was not so green. nor
the lawn so beautiful, she says.
She charges that Mr.. Sawyer's fox
terrier Gyp converted the lawn into a
burying ground for bones with disas-
trous effect to its general appearance.
So she has brought suit against the
New Yorker in the First District Court
for $500 damages,
''Your family played croquet on the
lawn during the dry SPELL" she told Mr..
Sawyer, through her lawyer A. H. Haz-
Teton. "They wore down the grass until
the lawn looked scandalous."
She also charges the hard wood floors
were damaged.
John J. Hoppin. Mr.. Sawyer's lawyer,
said: "Mr. Sawyer took good care OF
Mrs Stubbert's property Gyp may
have buried a bone here and there on
the lawn. And Mr.. Sawyer's family
probably played croquet during the
summer, but they had a right to. As
to the hard wood floors, Mr.. Sawyer
took good care of them"
The case comes up for trial Tuesday.

Sisters Conduct with Prince Is

NEW YORK. May 23.-George J.
Gould, though he has as much con-
tempt for the Prince de Sagan as he
had a month ago, may give his con-
sent to his sister, Nine. Anna Could,
supporting the prince and assuring him
an abode and income by marrying him.
The reason for this rumored weak
ening, it is said, is to put a stop to
Nine. Gould's conduct with De Sagan.
She has been travelling with him since
they left New York together. If she
conducts herself in Paris with De
Sagan as she did in Italy, it is feared
Castellane will apply to the French
courts for the sole possession of the
children, thus assuring himself good
income.
Nine Gould has sent a cablegram to
an intimate friend here, and 1t is said
to hint that Mr.. Gould will withdraw
his opposition.
Mrs. George Gould and her children
are in Paris and have visited Nine.

PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY SCHOOL.

The farmers Of Magnolia town.

have erected a $4,000 school
house for the use of their CONSOLE
dated country schools, taking the
place of several old fashioned dis
trict schools. -Four teachers are EN-
plo"ci, two in the high school
branches, which include argicul-
ture aud domestic science. L.abo.
ratories are provided for scientific
research, and the lowest paid teach
er gets $50 per month. Two
wagons afford transporta ion for
the more distant pupils at a cost
of 8 cents per day per pupil One
of the school houses has been re-
modelled into a house for the use
of the teachers, thus doing away
with the often veXing question of a
suitable boarding place for country
school teachers. The pupils of this
consolidated country school lack
none of the advantages offered by
the excellent public schools of any
progressive city. The cost is
somewhat greater than under the
old system, but is notably less

Postal SAVINGS BANKS.

That the coming session OF con
gress will see enacted a bill provid
ing for government postal saving
banks. is the opinion of Postmaster
General Meyer, who strongly ia.
yors such a measure. As evidence
that such a law will be enacted. he
points out that the platforms of
both the great parties favor such
a measure. and that a postal saw
ings bank bill was favorably re-
ported in the senate al the last
session of congress. Some of his
arguments in favor of the bill are
that the proposed governmet bank
would pay but 2 per cent interest
on deposits, there would be small
inducements for the depositors in
reliable private savings banks to
withdraw their deposits as the pri.
vate institution usually pay from 3
to 4 per cent. The postal system
would furnish facilities for saw
ing. as well as a small inducement
for many now outside the scope OF
savings bank, as every post Office
would become an office for the gov
crnUent bank. II is the plan OF
the postal bank TO keep all depos-
its in circulation by means of the
national banks. There would be,
in times of panic. less Il for
boarding; depositors might with
draw from private banks, as is al
ways the case, but, instead of re-
sorting TO tin a and stocking
banks, they would naturally take
advantage of the postal bank,
where the money would be perfect
" safe, aud where it would also
earn interest. In turn, the postal
bank would put the deposits i'll
circulation, thus helping to relieve
any stringeucy which might ex-
isi. With the postal bank practi-
cIllv assured for the neal future,
and with states enacting guaranty
banking laws, IT seems there is go
ing to be less cause for worry for
bank depositors in the future and
than there has been heretofor, c as
we'll as less loss andinconvenience
That the postal bank is an in
