SEHMONETTE.
"she had neither father nor
mother" A sad childhood, In
deed. II Is not known how young
she was when death robbed her
Of both parents and broke up
the home. She was probably
quite young, for the word used
TO tell Of Mordecai's kindness
carries the thought of "nour-
ished." Robbed o, mother love
and fstAer strength and protec-
tlo.., II would have seemed that
her life was bllghted and all
hope Of the future gone. But
the breaking up Of the home and
the kindly offer Of her older cou-
sin afforded her just the oppor-
tunity she needed Of prepara-
ton for the exalted place which
she came to MI. He was con-
neeted with the royal establish
ment and could thus bring his
young charge into the atmos-
phere and life for which she was
destined.
II is a most inspiring thought
that OUT Of the misfortunes Of
life there often unfold the lar
ger purpose and opportunity for
a human, struggling soul. In fact
IL is the very trials themselves
which prove the school Of prep
aratIon for the places Of trust
and influence.
Think of the anguish Of that
mother as she looked upon her
little girl and realized she must
leave her. Think Of the father
whose heart was torn within
him as he lay dying because no
longer would his arm be strong
to protect the tender little life
which was unfolding 50 beauti-
fully. But the tragedy Of that
home gave birth not to : blasted
life, but rather to a larger, fuller
life.
There is every justification in
the belief that the parents Of
Esther when called upon TO
leave her committed her to the
mercifuI wateheare Of God and
that IL brought comfort to their
dying moments to realize that in
his hands she was safe.
How marvelously the provi-
dences of God stand out in this
beautiful story. Every step is
marked by the overruIinn hand
Of God, and yet the name of God
is nowhere mentioned in the
book.
True piety Is expressed in the
life rather than by the lips,
whose words may be but hypo-
critic veneer for the goddess life.
Perhaps It was at = great per-
sonaI sacrifice Of time and
money that Mordeeai took upon
himself the burden Of caring for
his uncle's child. But unselfish
devotion on his part was like
bread cast upon the waters. Il

SAYS FRIEND TORE UP WILL =.
GIVING PROPERTY TO HIM.
Lawyer Who Prepared Docu-
ment Now in ASYLUM.

The name of Ernest Belfatto the
lawyer, now in an insane asylum. was
brought into a suit before Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell today, in which DOM
inico Vitolo, of II Monroe street, is try
ing TO establish a will made by his
wife, who died in 1901.
In December, 1889, the Vitolos pur-
chased the property named, which il
now considered to De worth $4,000.
Later each made a will deciding one-
half interest in the property to the
other during the lifetime of the SUR
vivor, and then to go to the heirs OF
the deceased. Belfatto drew the wills.
Some time after his wife's death,
Vitolo spoke of his wife's will to An
tonic PAMELA, an attache of the local
health department, who asked to see
it. Vitolo brought the paper from his
a and turned it over to his friend.
The latter, after an examination, de-
clared it to be unnecessary, n before
Vitolo could interfere, he says, tore
it into pieces.
1t is this will tina Vitolo is trying to
establish and opposed to him are the
sister and brother-in-law of his wife,
who live in Italy. They are represented
by Edward |. Croll.

Police Seek Other Victims to
Warn Them of Peril.

Another victim of the mad dog which
ran amuck on Broad and Market streets
last Thursday WAS found today, when
it was learned thai a small boy from
Nutley had been taken to the City Dis
pensary on that day and received treat
ment. His wound was cauterized and
he went home. As it was an emergency
case no record was taken of the boys
name and address.
This makes The total of known vic
time seven, but it is thought that many
more were bitten. and the police are
trying to get in touch with all those
who encountered the dog. Following

SLATED TO

LEAIz IS REPORT
Say Governor Fort Will Offer
Appointment to City Tax
Commissioner.
lspeeial % tae Newark star.l

lGp6cldi " tAc 1NtNaAh oeaAH1 H
TRENTON, Dec. 20 Coupled with
the report that Governor Fort has
practically decided to give the place
how held on the State Board of As
SCISSORS by David Baird, of Camden, &c
George Everett Halsey. Of East Or
ange. is the information that John
Howe, Tax Commissioner, will be
named probably to succeed M ajor Carl
Lent as president, of the State Board
of Taxation. While it was understood
Chandler w. Riker was urged TO ac-
cept the latter appointment. it is said
there is small likelihood of him do
ing SO.
1t Is O. well-known fact that the Gov
errors friendship for Mr.. Howe caused
him to want the latter as chairman OF
the Essex County Republican Commit
tee. That the county tax commissioner
ship is within Mr.. Howe's grasp is
understood, but, as Governor Fort is
seeking the repeal of the County TaS
Board law, the position might not be
n to be eagerly sought. The Gov
ernor demanded the repeal of the law
in 1907 and 1908, and it is believed he
will continue his fight upon it this year.
Mr.. Halsey's refusal last week to
accept the treasurership of the Essex
County Republican Committee for the
sixth term is responsible for the fact
that the report he is to u a place
in the State Board of Assessors gained
such ready credence.
State Assessor Baird long ago said
in so many words that he wouldn't
accept reappointment if the Governor
asked him to. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Baird was IN the slate for
II appointment last winter. and that
in the closing hours of the session of
tie Legislature. following the swinging
of South Jersey votes against certain
Fort measures, his name vas stricken
from the Senate message of nomina
tions. Since that time Mr.. Baird has
held over, the law providing that he
shall hold Office until his successor Is
named.
Essex County. with its vast railroad
property. has no representative On the
Board of Assessors. Obadiah c. Be-
gardus is a Monmouth County man,

wick. Middlesex County. and Charles
E. Hendrickson, jr., from Jersey City.

it leaves Camden and South Jersey
without representation. Governor Fort
has frequently said that he picks his
men for fitness and not because of their
place of residence.
Several prominent lawyers have been
considered by the Governor for Major
Lentz's place. While it was stated fiat
ly today hat the office had actually
been offered to Chandler w. Riker, and
that so far he had shown reluctance to
accept it,. it seems to be pretty well
established Mr.. Howe will be named
for the place.
The members of the State Board OF
T~axation-or State Board of Equaliza-
ion of Taxes to use it's full title-are

Major Lentz halted the case for a
oment to say that he himself held a
policy in the company. He wished to
know if Mr.. Boggs objected to him as
an interested party. The counsel. for
the Prudential explained that the re-

said, was necessary under an agree
ment with the policy-holders.
Mr.. Fackler. the first witness called.
testified that he had prepared the state
ment of the company to the State COM
missioner of banking and insurance.
He said that in designating the $780,
13s, oil which he said constituted the
liabilities of the company he did not
take into consideration any dividends
accruing on policies. In response to a
question by Mr.. Boggs he admitted
that he had taken into consideration
Eall policies of every character.
The testimony given by Mr.. Gore
dealt principally with the number and
kind of policies issued now and before

policies in the company. In 1908, he
said, the number. Of these policies

from Sunday night until late yester-

said today that Mr.. Harahan a the
car removed from Montclair because of
the annoyance caused by photograph

the family. That the car was to have
remained at Montc1air permanently
was shown by the fact that a rail or

taken up; the car was connected by
telephone and arrangements had been
made to have the town scavanger take
away the garbage and ashes on
Wednesdays and Saturdays of each
week.
