Apples as omsns.

In parts of England many quaint su-
perstitions still center round the apple.
Apples hung on strings and twirled be-
fore the fire are said to fall off In the
order that the marriages Of the vari-
GUS owners will proceed. An apple
eaten before looking glass is sup
posed to give a view of the inquirer's
future husband, who will be seen peep
ing over milady's shoulder. Peel safe
ly taken from an apple, tossed three
times round the head and thrown to
the ground unbroken forms the first
letter of a future lovers name. A
more recent. though hardly more seri-
GUS. custom necessitates bowl Of wa
ter in which are floating number Of
apples. Mothers must drop forks into
the bowl from a distance Of about four
feet. If the fork pierces an apple the
feat is believed to protect the perform
ers children from catching cold.-Lon-
don Scraps.

On THURSDAY there will be brought be-
fore Judge Horner the members of the
Board of Election in Bordentown town
ship, who will be required to show why
they did not obey an order of the court,
and to establish the fact that they are not
guilty of contempt of court. 1t is not
within the province of anyone at this time
to express an opinion on this case or its
possible result. 1t may be said, however,
that the occurrence of the past month in
the township of Bordentown shows the
great necessity for carefulness In selecting
election officers. This Is not the first time
that this point has been taken but it has
not been needed and it seems as If the
time is ripe for general reformation along
this line. Too much attention has been
paid la the past to putting on the election
boards men who would act from partisan
motives rather than for the good of the
community. There is no hesitancy in say
ing that this has been more noticeable in
the Democrat party Ethan in the Republi-
can. The County Board wants to get a
move on. Just at present the motive
power Of that organization appears to rest
in young man who has much to learn.
Last year man was appointed as mem
Der of local board, and despite the fact
that 1t was shown that he had no legal
residence In the ward in which he was to
act he was allowed to keep his seat. This
year the same thing happened in another
township, and all objections were swept to
the winds. And now comes the election
board in Bordentown township who de
liberately refused to honor the order OF
the court, and who, If all reports are true,
toek counsel that was given more to aid
partisan effect than If 1t was to show In
telIigence on the part of the one who
gave it.

The Label LANGUAGE,

There's a language in hotel labels,

said a courier. "All over Europe the
hotel porters paste the hotel labels on

what sort Of Upper you are.
Sup at the top of the trunk the label

A couple advanced in years got mar

The husband had room in the house
securely locked, the inside of which
his wife had never seen, and, being

ON THE ground that no malice had been

On THE ground that no malice had been
proven, Judge Lloyd, on Wednesday,
granted nonsuit in the case of James A.
johnson VS.. the jag Committee of
Glassboro. The law under which this
committee was appointed allows the pre-
sentation to liquor dealer Of the name Of
a man who il an habitual drunkard or who
is liable to become one, and to warn the
dealer not to furnish liquor to the man.
Under this law the committee sent to
hotel keeper the name of man, and when
the dealer got the letter he read the name
with Others, to those who were in the
place. The news soon spread and the
man who had been "posted"i became the
object of unpleasant attentions and sour
rilous remarks, some OF which he received
on postal cards from different points,
some of them coming from the state of
Maine. Feeling aggrieved. johnson
brought suit against the commit
tee, claiming his name and character had
been damaged. At the trial 1t was brought
out that the man was respectable citizen
of Glassboro, q church member, of alb
stemious habits, and was In charge of
large number of workmen, with whom his
influence had been lessened owing to his
being posted. The only thing that could
be mentioned against him In connection
with liquor was the fact that at a recent trial
of a remonstrance against hotel license
he testified that he had been In the place
several times and never saw any disorder.
His presence in the hotel was accounted
for by his employer, who said he had sent
him there to endeavor to get some of the
hotel keepers trade. AS soon as the flag
committee" discovered they had posted
his name they tried to undo the act by
recalling the order, but 1t was too late.
The court ruled against the defendant on
the ground that the committee was acting
under the law in the performance of their
duty and had no malice in the matter.
But the good name of the man suffered
just the same and he was subjected TO tn
Insult and indignity of being posted as ian
habitusl drunkard or one who might be-
come So" The decision lof Judge Lloyd
is accepted by the legal fraternity as sound
law and proper under the circumstances,
but the case will be carried to the higher
courts and there may be different opin
ion expressed. The results in this case
are what are to be feared wherever COM
mittee of like character may be appointed.
In nine cases out of ten the members of
such body will be those who are over
jealous in their desire to do what they
think right, and judgment win not be
used to the extent 1t ought to be.

The election. on Tuesday. has not only
kept New Jersey In the Republican column,
but has more firmly placed in there. The
party gains two Senators, but loses four
Assemblymen. The Senate will stand 10
Republicans and six Democrats; the House
will be Al Republicans, 10 Democrats.
The usual surprises were sprung, and
where Democratic success was expected
defeat came. In Middlesex county they
reelected their Senator and captured the
entire county offices. and in Passaic Sena'

Trouble For Creditors.

Even the simplest law transactions
seem to be beyond the comprehension
of some people. An old farmer went
into grocer's shop a short time ago,
ordered a sovereign's worth of goods
and when they were ready for deliv-
cry laid down a five shilling piece in
payment thereof.
The shopkeeper called out, Here,
this isn't rightp' as the customer start
ed to leave.
"Oh, yes, that's all right" replied the
man. "I've got permission from the
Judge to pay shillings in the pound. :"
A heated discussion revealed that
the man had lately settled an insol-
vency upon this basis and expected to
continue that method indefinitely.
When he was shown his mistake he
was very indignant and evidently con-
sidered himself a much abused man.
