THE FEBRUARY SMART SET.
Anyone who ever spent weekend at
great fashionable country estate will
appreciate the delicious humor of Freder-
lex Arnold RUNNERS novel s'Mr. Buttles,
published complete in the February Smart
Set MIR. Buttles, himself, is the butler of
Everdun Towers, and conceives and
carries out scheme for organizing the
upper servants into corporation and
getting the perquisite business down to
fine points. Lord Eyerdun's magnificent
home becomes thus merely a splendid
hotel. Guests come and go, enjoy them
selves and are politely feeced, and uncon-
scious of the corporate arrangement of
which they are the victims. OF cource
complications arise, and there the naive
roguerY of Buttles stands out as a SPLEEN
did character study. The story is far
above the average of periodical literature
The delineation of Buttle's character may
almost be said to suggest the best work of
Dickens. The popular conception of
Bohemia" gets rude thrust from James
L. Ford, In an article Concerning
Bohemia and Bohemians," Mr. Ford de-
scribes the real charm and tincerity of the
little Bohemian circles of generation ago,
and contrasts that simple, care free,
artistic life with the yulrataties and Excess
SEES of the sham advertised Bohemian of
the present day. Morgan Robertson, who
made his name through the wonderful
power of his sea stories, has turned to
lighter themes 1.-The Nom de Plume"
one of his first romances, appears in the
February Smart Set. The story is vivid
and real, and shows the writer's strength

ern Baptist Convention met Thursday
afternoon and evening In the First Bap-
fist church, at Mount Holly. DR.. East
wood, pastor of the First Baptist church,
Burlington, presided at the afternoon
meeting, which opened at half-past two
with devotional service.
An interesting address was made by

men Wants and What the Layman Can

talk on church finance, his subject
being, Methods That Win" Rev.

at six o'clock mems Banquet" was
served in the dining room of the church,
and at this time round table conference
was held. Rev. T. M. Eastwood presided,
and spoke few words on the work being
done in his church. The principal theme
of this round table talk was Missions, "
as the object of the Budget is to unity all
mission work. bringing all branches of
missions under one head, thereby simplify
ing the distribution of the funds subscrib-
ed to mission work. Other guests at the
round table gave short, interesting talks
on the work being done in the home
churches, of the amounts expended in
missions, and of the good of the cause.
The evening service opened at 7.45
o'clock with song service, followed by
an address by Rev. ]. Heinrichs, of India,
who spoke at length on the mission work
being done and the need for more workers
in this far off land. India is broad field
for mission work and although there are
many workers there, still there is always |
room for more earnest Christian teachers.
L. G. Barnes made the closing address of |
the evening, taking as his subject mis-
sion Work"
Both afternoon and evening sessions |
were most interesting, but not as well at
tended as might have been desired, owing |

s'The $50, 900 suit begun by William M
Maths against the editor of this paper fol
publishing a communication by A. M.
Ellsworth, has been withdrawn, the latter
having made a small cash settlement
rather than have the bother with the trial
in court" That is the way the Palmyra
Nesos puts it, but the probabilities are
that the defendant made ''small' cash
settlement rather than go into court and
be compelled to pay large settlement.
That he felt he would lose his case is GER
tain from the fact that he would not go to
court and attempt to substantiate his
statements.
The Palmyra Neaos is owned and edited
by G. F. Sleeper, a resident of Palmyra.
He does net own a plant. He gets his
copy ready at his home and then has the
paper printed elsewhere. At one time it
was printed outside Of the county. At
that time the editor was particularly down
on the County Board of Taxation, and
showed his feeling by editorials as well as
by allowing communications on the sub
ject to be printed At the time he was
doing this and was having his paper
printed In Camden county he was drawing
several hundreds of dollars per year from
the county treasury in payment for public
printing, an item which, in the terms Of
the day, was velvet" For some reason
he saw fit to change his printing office,
and now the paper is printed In this
county. As there is no amount of pro-
perty on which to collect tax and as the
sum returned to the county treasury by
the editor in the way of taxation is very
small, it has been hard to understand
where he had any particular kick on I'M
equal or high taxation.
Those who wanted to vent their feel
ings on subjects which it seemed to be
necessary to call down were allowed the
use of the columns, and the files will
show that at one time there were many

Court.

Court.
On Tuesday in the criminal court John
Moung was tried for selling liquor with
out license. He keeps boarding house
at Florence and supplied his boarders with
liquor. 1t was shown that the man did
not derive any profit out OF his sales. The
jury rendered verdict of guilty with a
recommendation for mercy. A fine of ten
dollars was imposed. The defendant had
no money 30 he was sent to Jail. His
wife, who had been in attendance at court
with him, was quite respondent over the
result and said she did not know what to
do as she had no money to live on.
Curvan Bramall, of Riverside, was the
defendant in a suit for damages in which
Thomas L. Wilkinson claimed that the
young man had shot his boat full of holes.
He fixed the loss at $50. and the jury gave
a verdict for $50.
William H. Harris VS.. 8. Budd Perkins
was the next case, suit to recover the
price of some fertilizers. There was no
denial that the goods were delivered but
it was claimed the quality was not up to
standard The verdict was for the plain
tiff for 1910.
B. G Kendall was the defendant in
suit brought by the G. Q Hammell Co
to recover $500 for lumber and mill work
furnished for house on High street, Bur-
lington. The trouble seemed to be on the
charge for extras, the defendant claiming
they were all included in the original
order. The court ordered the jury to
render verdict for the plaintiff.
On Wednesday the suit of Harry G.
Allen against Walter ]. Braddock, for
81, 800, was begun. This action was to
recover balance due the plaintiff for
~uilding house for defendant in Medford.
The defence was that the work was de-
fective. After hearing portion of the
evidence a compromise was effected
whereby the plaintiff received 81. 100.
On Thursday Judge Horner heard the
case of Charles Fl. Mcgowan against
James Haines. The latter owns the
poultry farm at Deacon's station and he
seems to have been selected by lot of
fellows as an easy mark. In this case the
evidence was that Mcgowan was engaged
as manager of the farm with the under
standing that he was to get $50 per month,
with bonus of $3.50 at the end of the
year if the farm was successfully managed.
Haines showed that he lost So, 500 the first
year, but he lived up to his share of the
contract until he discovered that Mcgowan
was selling the products of the place and
pocketing the proceeds. Haines then dis
charged Mcgowan. The jury rendered a
verdict in favor of Haines.
Ethel May Carr, of Browns Mills,
pleaded guilty to the larceny of fur cape.
She was under is years of age so Judge
Horner sent her to the State Home for
Girls.
Sentence upon Benjamin and William
Clark, convicted of outraging a girl at
Masonville, was laid over until Thursday
of this week. The Judge said he did not
care to send the men to the state prison
until he had learned more about the
character of the principal witnesses In the
case, as he had heard that their reputation
was not gilt edged.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.


The popularity of the Orpheum Players
at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadel-
phia. was plainly evidenced last week,
when "A Gilded Foop was presented.
Crowded houses at nearly every perfor-
nance were the rule The stock company
al the Chestnut has certainly obtained a
place In the hearts of the amusement-lov-
ing public which it will not be willing to
give up. The tribute to the Orpheum
Company is certainly deserved as the
members of the organization work hard to
please. To sit in the audience and wit
ness the apparent ease with which each
part is rendered is all right, but few think
of the hours that are consumed in reach
ing the perfection that Is shown on the
stage. All the time one play is being
given in public there Is daily rehearsal
of the play for the next week And while
the PLAYERS are entitled to credit there is
part of the theatre that should not be
overlooked. The management of the
stage is a very important feature and
much responsibility rests upon the man
who has il in charge. Percy Winters is
equal to the task, however; the success OF
every production proves this. Morris
Schreck is the press representative, and
every detail in this line is looked after
carefully and with great courtesy Inc
Chestnut Street Theatre is complete In all
respects and the putting on of stock
company is no longer an experiment. 1t
has outgrown that condition.

Orpheum Players will have the distinction
of being the first resident company to pro-
duce the play, and will also be privileg-

From Investigations which have been
made 1t is learned that some one bent on
robbery has visited many rear yards to
inspect premises to be entered If con-
ditions were found satisfactory. In each
case the foot prints of horse shoe were
| left behind, the intention being to mis-
lead people in the belief that an animal
had been present. The theory prevails
that the person engaged in this work
placed horse shoes ON pieces OF boards
and made them fast to his feet. Tracks
of this kind have been found In various
parts of Mount Holly since the last snow
storm, but it is quite apparent to those
who have examined them that they were
made by a two-legged animal. This is
the theory of some at least. Whether the
visitor was a bird from Mars or pre-
historic animal is not known at the pres
ent time. Some frightened persons In
Mount Holly will be relieved to know
that business men and others on jersey
avenue, Gloucester. are looking for
strange two-legged animal. with feet like
