Rev. Il. Marceau Appointed to st.
Francis Church, Winooski.

church heard with general regret
on Sunday morning letter from the
bishop of the diocese announcing that
Rev. Ludger Marceau, who for %
years has been connected with the

tireless worker. His home was in
St. Henry of Lewis, P. O., and he
belonged to the arch diocese of Que
bee until he came here. At first his
missions were scattered all over east
ern Vermont but later his work was
narrowed to this section. He has
during these years attended 81 sta
lions and built three small churches.
He was besides, a faithful curate to
Father Boissonnault and since his
death has had charge of the church
and parish.
On Thursday evening a farewell
reception will be given him by the
parish at St. Agnes Hall, at $50. The
address will be made by Alphonse
Grenier and the presentation by
Joseph Bison. On Wednesday after
non the convent pupils will give him
a reception at the school and the

terrain at st. Agnes Hail.

L Il
The December meeting of the
St. Johnsbury Woman club was in
charge of the education committee,
and many of the public school teach
ers were in attendance. The bust
ness of the afternoon included the
secretary's report, a request from the
investigation committee made by
Mrs. Rebecca Fairbanks (who is to
take the place of DR.. Wakefield, re-
signed) that their report be delayed,
was granted; announcement of the
Federation stamps for sale, and the
name of Mrs. D. A. Noel as new
member of the club. Miss Alice
Kicker, accompanied by Mrs. Luz
ella Fairbanks, sang two delightful
songs. Notice was given that on ac-
count of several school teachers
wishing to join the club, which they
could not attend on Monday, change
of day from Monday to Saturday
would be considered at the next club
meeting.
Mrs. Cross then spoke of those
who are in sorrow: Mrs. Parkhurst

Mrs. Laura Puffer, chairman of the
education committee, presented w.
E. Russell, president ofthe normal
school of Gorham, Maine, who gave
a most instructive and helpful talk
on Industrial Education" He said
that if there were such a thing as an
educational trust it would be man
aged by the women. For the schools
of town were as a rule what the av-
erage active interest of the women
demanded of them. He compared
most delightfully."- the opportunities
for service of the boy of genera
ton ago with those of the present
time, enumerating the duties of the
former, bringing in the wood, help
ing with the spinning, making of
soap, making of candles, watching
the shoemaker make a complete pair
of shoes in the kitchen, and the num-
berless outdoor chores. He defined
industrial education as that reQuir-

Senior Reception-F'rancis McCanna
Breaks Leg by Falling from
Window.

The senior class held it's annual
reception Friday evening. The chap
ell hall was attractively decorated to
give a colonial effect, with Sug-
gestions of the approaching Christ
mas season. A novel feature
of the occasion was the cos
tuning of the receiving line, which
carried out the colonial idea.
After the second promenade, Presi-
dent Nelson welcomed the guests of
the class and announced the play en-
titled "a Good Dinner the scene of
which, in keeping with the decora-
lions, was laid in the Washington
period. The cast was as follows:l

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1910-05-31

WHY State Charities Commissioner, the
Rev. George B. Wight, should rudely re-
pei the widow of the late George T.
Werts when she reported to him for duty
as an assistant on the ground that there
was nothing for Mrs. Werts to do, is for
Governor Fort, who appointed Mr.. Wight
from motives of philanthropy, to inquire.
Mr.. Wight is nearly seventy years OF age.
and was retired from the ministry some
years ago as no longer useful. When the
commissionership was created with a
salary of $4,000 year. Governor Stokes
was induced to give him the job. When
his term was about to end Governor Fort
decided to make a younger and more COM
petent appointment, but after delegation
of Mr.. Nights ministerial friends had
waited on him, the Governor reappointed
Mr.. Wight, although well satisfied that
the appointee was not the man for the
place. Since the department was made a
refuge for man needing an income it was
no more than fair that a woman
who had some claims upon the state should
receive consideration in the same way, and
the position of assistant was created for
the benefit of Mrs. Werts. The aged
commissioner did not relish this change,
for he opposed the bill in the legislature,
and. it is charged, lobbied against it.
When the widowed beneficiary of the bill
appears to report for duty the jealous
commissioner sends her packing, forget
ting that misapplied charity put him in
a $4,000 job for which he is untitled. Per-
haps the Governor will be enabled to instil
little of the feeling of charity into the
commissioner and procure fair treatment
for the widow of former Governor Werts.

Ocean County.

r. F. Engle has bought motor bus for
the Engleside, Beach Haven, to transfer
guests to and from the depot.
An extensive electric switch system is
being installed at Writings, for use of the
three railroads which meet at that point
There will be ssother track changes, also,
several long sidings added, and the Tuck
erton tracks will join the Pennsylvania
main line north of the station instead of
south as at present.
When the regular visitors return to
Beach Haven this summer they will be
amazed at the improvements and building
operations that have been going on In the
winter and spring months. Every avenue
has been made beautiful by newly laid
concrete sidewalks and well paved streets
The Beach Haven Land Company has also
extended these same improvements into
the Sherborne property, which they are
offering for sale this summer. Seventeen
new cottages have already been built on
the land company's operation, and as
many more are now In the course of con.
struction. Extensions of the excellent
lighting service and the water, for which
Beach Haven is so famous, are being
made into the Sherborne tract. which will
add greatly to the desirability Of these
lots.
Parental objection of james Mathis, a
druggist of Trenton, to the marriage of
his daughter, Mary, to Captain Joel F.
Vansant. of Tuckerton, skipper of the
auxiliary yacht Edith Anna, met with a
complete failure, as the young couple were
quietly married at Tuckerton, on the Goth,
by Rev. E. G. Hulse, pastor of the M. E.
church, after the bride had made hasty
departure from her home. Pretending to
her parents that she was going toa nearby
gymnasium for some clothes, the bride
made her way to the train and left for
Atlantic City, at which place she was met
by cousin of the bridegroom. Together
they travelled by taxicab to Tuckerton,
where they met the bridegroom, and where
the ceremony was performed without any
loss of time. The father, becoming sus-
picious of the continued absence Of his
daughter, kept the wires hot, but was un-
able to get the trail of his daughter until
after the couple were made man and wife.
Mrs. Vansant has been in the habit of
spending her time at Tuckerton, owing to

HAVING succeeded in securing a new
trial for Walter G. Penhollow, counsel for
the defendant, V. Claude Palmer did
not rest content, but insisted that the state
must, If 1t went on with the case, confne its
efforts to single count In the Indictment,
that of indecent assault. the verdict
rendered at the trial, and which was set
aside because the evidence showed the
jury had been tempered with. Mr.. Pal
mer prepared an elaborate brief In which
he quoted numerous decisions In support
of his claim that only one count of the
indictment could be used aud the brief
was one of the most complete papers ever
presented to this court. Prosecutor At
kinson replied but he was not able to over
come the very strong argument put up by
the opposing counsel and Mr.. Palmer's
motion was allowed The Penhollow case
has aroused much interest all over the
county and opinion has been very much
divided on the question of the guilt of the
accused. Bringing the trial down to the
one point narrows the subject very much
and 1t Is grave question whether the
state will be justified in pressing the trial,
when the cost and the possible result are
considered. 1t would appear to be in order
to look into the matter of tampering with
the jury and melting punishment to those
who were guilty of that misdemeanor.
