Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Aug. 8:-Mutterings are
beginning to be heard in the Jersey
political camp as to what will be the
effect on the election in November
Of the state excise probe, which has
the backing of Governor Fort. Sew
eral prominent republicans who have
been here this week take the view
that the result of the investigation
thus far. even II there are no worse
disclosures, will cut a considerable
figure In the ampaign and their gem
eral belief is that 1t will aid the
cause Of local option. 1t will have
to be admitted that the probing thus
far has given neither party any po-
litical advantage, for republican At
lantic City has shown up worse than
any of the several democratic cities
which have been uncovered.

The republicans are in the posi-

state, or appear in the light of re-

governor. The governors attitude
on the matters being uncovered by
his excise probers is we'll known. In
his last message to the Legislature

held meeting yesterday afternoon
in room 16 in the Scheuer building
at which plans were discussed fol-
organizing the stockholders in order
to take advantage of the mortgage

She is home and she says she Will
not have anything to do with them
and don't care what is done; with
them" He also added that it was
the fault of the manager Of the store
for leaving the CRATE open, which
brought a rebuke from the recorder.
The recorder was very much In
censed over the fact that the mother
had not appeared to defend her two
sons and told the brother that he had
a small opinion of her and that IL she
came down to court he would tell
her so.
The brother replied that he did
not think 1t was fair for the record
er and the police to ride over his
family all the time. The recorder
said that he had known Mrs. Kacz-
marek for the past seventeen years
and that while he had never thought
much of her, he thought less now.
And I'm going to keep riding over
your family as long as they do
wrong he added.
Grace Church Entered.
Rev. Robert L. Schlotter, pastor
Of Grace English Lutheran church,
reported to the police yesterday that
the place was entered Thursday
night by thieves who broke open a
collection box and closet where the
pastors vestments were kept. The
burglars got nothing, as they missed

Law SUIT FOLLOWS JOKE.
Lawyer Turns Tables and Sues the
Joker for Bill,

Mrs. Margaret Gatty, one of the
wittiest society women Of Brattle-
boro. VT, planned and executed a
joke; now she Is the defendant in
an action at law, while society Is
awaiting with glee the outcome Of
the affair.
1t all emanated from bright
idea" conceived by Mrs. Gatty and a
few of her society friends, who had
become firmly convinced that James
II. Hooker, attorney and wealthy
club member, was working altogether
too hard, and needed little diver
son to distract him from the ardu-
BUSINESS OF so busy summer.
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk. with papers
piled high on either side and an
amount OF work before him that
promised to keep him in his otfire
into the wee small hours Of the night,
the telephone at his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver, Mr.. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice OF Mrs. Gatty, one D: his ac-
quaintances. Mrs. Gatty appeared to
be greatly overwrought, and ex..
planned that n dreadful attempt mad
Just been made to swindle her out of
a sum OF money; that the alleged
swindler had left a handbag behinG,
and would Mr.. Hooker come I'D i'm
mediately and open the bag and dis
cover, If possible, the identity OF the
guilty person.
The young lawyer clapped on his
hat and fastened up to Mrs. Gatty's
fashionable residence. He was ush-
cred into the drawing-room and the
bag was shown him. Without fur
ther parley the lawyer opened the
bag and extracted nice yellow
lemon. Then the light broke upon
the attorney, and, amid the titterings
which emanated from different re-
cesses of the drawing room, he bowed
and withdrew, after declaring grave
ly that he felt that the case was set
tied and trusted that his client would
be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received a
bill for services made out in the
usual form. Under the conviction
that his bill was merely the humor-
GUS revenge by Mr.. Hooker for the
joke played upon him, the bill was
pigeonholed. Much to her consterna-
tion sheriff appeared recently and
served the papers in suit for fees
due for professional. advice.
The whole city is interested in
Lawyer Hooker's plan for revenge,
and factions have already been
formed.

RABBIT GOES TO UNCLE RENUs'.
Took Up His Abode there Two Days
After Mr.. Harris's Death.

A remarkable incident following
the recent death of Joel Chandler
Harris is vouched for by no less au-
thority than members of his own
family.
The Sunday following Uncle Re-
mus's" death a rabbit made it's ap-
pearance at the Harris home and
took up its domicile in the coal shed
seeming to prefer sleeping upon the
coal than anywhere else. The negro
butler was one OF the first to see him
and picked up stone to throw at
him, when he was stopped by Mrs
Harris.
Since his arrival the rabbit has
exhibited a remarkable tameness,
permitting the children to play with
him (theSe are Mr.. Harris's grand
children) )-and even playing with the
