we are going into this thing purely
from patriotic motives Mr.. Bishop
said. 1--WE do not want the Herring

PENNINGTON FIRE MYSTERY
MAY NEVER BE SOLVED.
New Theory Is Advanced for
BlazeS at Seminary.

TRENTON, March ALL of the 200
students of Pennington Seminary, are
still suspects" in the eyes of county
detectives, Pinkerton men and amateuN
Investigators who are working night
and day to solve the mystery of two in
cendiary fires which threatened the in
stitution with destruction last week.
The detectives hold to the theory that
envy, aroused by the jaunty dressing
of Miss Helen Jackson Inc Miss Ethel
Stokes, furnished the motive. A Sec
ond is that several recent applicants
for admission to the Callelogian. Pen
nington's foremost society, in which the
two girls are ruling spirits, were re-
jected, and considerable bitterness re-
sulted~
At the seminary the feeling is that
the mystery will never be solved. Every
girl in the seminary has given al ac-
curate account of her whereabouts al
the time of the first fire. The second
blaze was discovered while every stu
lent save one was at luncheon, under
| the watchful eyes of teachers. The sole
absentee was a girl, seriously i'll in hei
| room and attended by a nurse.

BEWILDERED BY BRIDES
SEEING ATLANTIC CITY.
SOjourners Fail to Get Train to
the Inauguration.

ATLANTIC CITY, March Alt is
hard work for the ome staying at the
Royal Palace Hotel to keep track of the
appearance, manner and costumes of all
the brides who are arriving there. The
hum of the excitement Overcome bride
has scarcely time to subside before an
other dainty one appears upon the
scene. There were six bridal couples at
the Royal Palace today.
Several wealthy men had to remain in
Atlantic City today against their
wishes. None of them had made ar
rangements to go to Washington until
the last moment, and then 1t was sug-
gested that, although it would be i'm
possible to obtain hotel accommoda-
lions in the capital, it probably would
be easy for a large party to hire a
Pullman sleeper n a buffet car and to
go from here to Washington in the
forenoon, leave the cars on the track
and return at night, so as to arrive here
early tomorrow morning. The idea ap-
pealed strongly to several persons to
whom it was preached. and a party
large enough to fill two cars. was
quickly arranged. Then two of the men
set out in quest of the cars. After
much telegraphing they were notified
tina every available Pullman a in the
East had already been engaged for the
inauguration. Consequently it was
abandoned.
Levi j. Morton, former vice-president
of the United States n former Cover
nor of New York, appeared on the
Boardwalk yesterday for the first tims
this season. He arrived with Mrs. Nor
ton and Mrs. w. A. Street and took
apartments at the Marlborough -Blen-
helm.

parents denying themselves to give
their children an education and fail
ing to teach them to work and save
as the parents had done, resulting
often in men and women deficient in
