OF Error.

inal operation upon Mrs. Peter A.
Merchand, was sentenced to one year
in the p~enitentlary by Judge Davis in
the Court OF Quarter Sessions this aft
ernoon and directed TO pay a fine Of
$3.50. Frank Il. Bradner. his counsel,
at once took out a writ of error, which
acts as a stay until the case has been
finally disposed of in the upper courts.
The physician, over whose head there
handgs d like indictment, was released
on renewal of his bail of $500.
Former Policeman John r. Golden
of 4S Hunterdon street, who shot and
severely wounded his friend, Patrick
j.. O'Byrne, at the latter's saloon in
Bank street last December, was sent
to the penitentiary for a year by the
court. who told the prisoner that his
offense merited a severe punishment,
but that clemency was exercised be-
cause of his previous good record.
Three months in the ~penitentiary
was the sentence received by John Len
non. a trolley conductor, found guilty
of knocking down fares. In his case
the court remarked that the DISPOSE
ton of the case may have considerable
influence as to whether or not the
knocking down practise should con-
tinue. Max Lefkowitz, who had adj
mitted that he was guilty Of a con-
spiraey to defraud the Balbach Smelt-
ing Company, was sent to the peniten-
tiary for six months and fined $500.

Summer Vacation.

When the hot weather comes many
persons in towns and cities think
they must drop their work and go TO
home other locality for vacation. In
some cases. such a change is ne
cessity: in others, it is merely a ques-
ton CT personal inclination: and in
still others. it is really harmful 10
leave home.
In any case. the summer visitor
should be very careful in the way he
spends IL.
As a general rule. a person should
seek a change Of altitude in taking
his summer vacation. The man from
Tjdewater will often be more beHe-
flied by a trip to the mountains than
BIZ 2 visit 20 the seashore, and vice
versa.
Much mere important, however. Is
the choice OF a place. Many people
hurry to a resort Of some sort, WITH
cut inquiring about conditions at che
place TO which they are going. This
frequently results in long stay at a
place where there are ncne OF the
conveniences to which city people arr
accustomed. and some Of the securtti-
ties OF the city for health.
When vou are thinking OF visiting
any summer resort. never make any
arrangements until you are satisfied
that the water and milk are good.
that there Is no typhoid fever in the
immediate neighborhood and thar the
sewage at the resort Is disposed or
in unsatisfactory manner. II you can
