Dickens and His Wife.

Commenting on the unhappy rela-
tons between Dickens and his wife.
Holdwin Smith wrote in one of his last
papers; sit was a common case. Dick
ems had married at low level, and his
wife had not risen with him; otherwise
there was no fault on her side. The
matrimonial history of writers of
works of imagination has often been
unhappy. Their imagination turns the
woman into an angel, and then they
find that she is a woman"

PAELE RETAINS
GRIP ON JOB,
No Change Contemplated
In KoOlaupOkO 4
District

Road Supervisor Paele. Democrat,
fervent in politics and incidentally
serving the county in the capacity OF
road overseer in Koolaupoko district,
is declared by those who profess to
know, will continue, his grip on the
municipal life line for an indefinite
period.
Paele has been drawing his princely
and monthly stipend from the county
Golfers during the life of the present
administration. AS Democrat he
has passed through the fiery furnace
of criticism and from his party stand
ards. has not been found wanting.
From the stronghold of Republican
fsm, Paele has been assailed by the
fiery darts of envy and enmlty.
The story that Mayor Joseph j. Fern
was contemplating the cutting out of
Paele from the county bread line and
substituting a relative in the person
of Kula Alapai. is pronounced as a
deliriots and dopeful dream. Mayor
Fern has been one of the political
sponsors for Paele. The road super
visor has the unanimous backing OF
the "Unterrifed" wing of the Board
of Supervisors. About the only time
that the Paele head rests uneasily up
on his pillow Is at time OF the reg
ular but rather unexpected visits OF
Supervisor James Quinn TO that por-
ton of fair Oahu isle which. Is sltu-
ate TO the windward II Is then that
Paele, If appraised of the supervisorial
visitation. begins TO sit up and take
notice of pending changes In the land
scapo. Quinn Is of the Republican
faith and OF late the road committee
has been RECALLED with reports con
corning the alleged incompetence OF
Paele.
AT the city hall this morning. Paele
stock was still quoted at above par.
Engineer Guy -Gere declared that he
had left Paele In charge OF road work
OF the district and when the Super
visor was last seen he was standing
guard over flock of steam rollers
and quantity of county road para
phernalia and to all ihtents and pur-
poses was the "boss man"
The statement that Kula Alapai.
who is said to have been slated for
the Paele job, is Republican Is
looked upon IN citN hall circles as a
very entertaining joke. k1apai Is de-,
clared as dyed In the wool Demo-
crat of the most pronounced type. The
Alapai position on the city and county
TOLLS IA one fixed by municipal appro-
baton and II il said that that Official
has no desire to make a change.
There Is little or no prospect OF n
shaking up in KoolauDoko circles at
the present or at any time before the
expiration Of the term of the existing
members Of the boaril.

Matters in the Bankruptcy Court.
Like pack of cards the business inter.
ests of three Burlington men have toppled
and In each instance there is such an inter.
relation between them that it was practi-
callv one venture. Referee in Bankruptcy
s. Conrad OFT has received orders of the
references in the cases and there will be a
first meeting of creditors tomorrow for
two of the bankrupts, Joseph P. Fem and
Samuel G. Stafford. The third, William
T. Gilpin, will not have his financial
troubles inquired into for a month or so
owing to the fact that his petition was not
filed until later than the other two.
Fem, Stafford and Gilpin had a number
of ventures. The first two were interested
In livery stable, the sale of horses and
the like, while Fem and Gilpin had a
general store. In addition each had an
individual business. According to Fenn's
schedule his liabilities are $25, 431. 81 and
his assets $50, IT'S, but the latter includes
much that was involved in the ''pack of
cards" The same condition exists with
respect to Stafford, whose assets are
scheduled at $18, TT. As and liabilities at
$15, 522.2O.

Under the state law it is the duty of the
county superintendent to hold this annual
meeting of the township boards of educa-
ton and the townships are required to
pay the expenses of those who attend.
The meetings have always been of great
interest and the programme mapped out
this year gives evidence that there is not
to be any backward movement. The
members of the township boards should
show their appreciation of the efforts tc
provide an interesting and profitable
meeting, at the same time keeping uE
their interest in very laudable object by
attending this session.

Death of DIR. Sharp.

DR.. Lewis L. Sharp died in Medford, on
Friday. He had not been in good health
for long time, but the immediate cause
of death was apoplexy, with which he
was stricken about a week ago.
DR.. Sharp was born near Medford, Nov
ember II, 1S41, growing up on his fathers
farm, where he remained until he was II
years of age, when he commenced the
study of medicine, graduating in the
medical department of the University of
Pennsylvania in March, 1864. He settled
In Medford, where he practiced all of his
life. Several years ago DR.. Sharp was
elected member of the Medford town
ship committee, and he was repeatedly
reelected without opposition and held
the Office at the time of his death.
DIR. Sharp was a member of the New
Jersey Legislature in the years 1890 and
1891. The representatives from this
county were then elected by districts,
the doctor being the member from the
third district, which was composed of
the townships of Bass River, Chester,
Evesham, Little Egg Harbor, Lumberton,
Medford, Mount Laurel, Northampton,
Randolph, Shamong, Southampton,
Washington and. Westampton. His ma
jority in the latter year was 6S6. That
year there was a redistricting of the
county, and two districts were formed,
being so divided that the Democrats were
able to gain control of the representatives
from this county. A. Harry White was
DR.. Sharp's opponent, and won by the
majority of 300. This was the year in
which ex-Sheritf Hays was the Republi
can candidate for Senator, and was de-
feated through treacherY In his OWL
party, which also contributed to DR.
Sharp's defeat.
The funeral of DR.. Sharp will take
place today. Services were held in Med
ford on Sunday, and the remains were
taken to the city, services being helt
there yesterday. Deceased is survived
by widow. He was a member of Noun
Holly Lodge, No IA, F. and A. M.

Divorce Granted.

Through her counsel, Assemblyman
Blanchard q. White, of Mount Holly, a
divorce has been granted to Mrs. Rose
Anna Earnest, of Collingswood. A sensa-
ton was sprung last summer when it was
announced that Mrs. Earnest had institut-
ed divorce proceedings against her hus-
band, Harold Blanchard Earnest, formerly
of Pemberton. After marriage he settled
down in the undertaking business. AS
soon as Earnest learned of the action
taken against him, ne left this section and
papers could not be served.
Miss Ida Pierce, pretty 1S-year-old
''hello girl" of Collingswood, was named
in the bill of complaint as the co-respon-
dent. The young lady stoutly denied any
misconduct with Earnest, stating that she
had met him on two or three occasions
outside of Collingswood. Miss Pierce,
who met the accusations against her with
nonchalance, said that Mrs. Earnest was
SO jealous that she would not let her hus-
band look out of the window at girl.
At the time he left for parts unknown,
Mr.. Earnest was secretary of the Board OF
Trade at Collingswood. Creditors threw
him into bankruptcy, but it is said that
all his debts were paid dollar for dollar.
The undertaking business is now being
carried on by Mrs. Earnest, who is said
to be one of the few women In the state
engaged In that business.

FORREST THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
"Ben-Hur' at the Forrest Theatre
Philadelphia, is even breaking its own
records OF phenomenal success. Unpre-
cedent throngs attended all the perfornian-
ces tor this play last week and on the
opening of the sale of seats on Thursday
for this week the line of seat purchasers
stretched for an entire block down Broad
street from the Forrest entrance besides
filling up all the available space in the
Forests spacious lobby and the incline.
In order to accommodate the thousands
who have been unable to secure seats
and pursuant to the immense popular
demand for more performances beyond
the brief two weeks engagement origin
ally scheduled, Messrs. Nixon and Tim
norman have been able to arrange with
Messrs. Klaw and Er1anger for an extra
two weeks for "Ben-Hur' which will
make the final performance to occur on
Saturday evening, February 18th. "Ben-
Hur" with its lustrious Star of Bethlehem,
its camels, Arabian steeds, Oriental trap
pings and mimic sp1endor of the ''gor-
geous East is beyond dispute the most
elaborate spectacle ever staged in the
history of the world.
The current production at the Forrest
is the most elaborate and beautiful ever
presented of General Lew Wallace's i'm
pressive drama. With everything Jew
in rich and gorgeous raiment, costly
scenery and elaborate effects, prepared
primarily for the tenth anniversary cele-
bration at the great Chicago Auditorium
and then brought to Philadelphia, the
pictorial side of "Ben-Hur" excites adj
miration and wonderment anew.
Last evening started the two final
added weeks of the 'Ben-Hur" engage
ment. Such is the unprecedented demand
for seats that early application is absolute
ly necessary to avoid disappointment.
Orders for seats, accompanied by remit
lance, will receive prompt attention. Mat
inees are on Wednesdays and Saturdays,
the Wednesday matinees being at popular
prices, with no seat over one dollar

Counterfeit Scare.

In one of the daily papers, last week
there was story of the circulation in the
neighborhoodIof Merchantville of number
of counterfeit nickels. The difference be-
tween the good and the bad money was
that the latter was somewhat thinner
than the good and the edges of the sup
posed bogus pieces had the appearance of
being filed. OF course It was not long
before the suspicious coins reached Mount
Holly and there was a general lookout
for them. They appeared in all quarters
and caused considerable comment. One
person who had one of the supposed
counterfeits shown him took 1t and COM
pared 1t with some he had in his pocket,
and he found that In two instances the
counterfeit weighed heavier than the
genuine piece. Close examination also
showed that In "a worth of new nickels
received from bank In one day, nearly
every one had the filed edges that were
the designation of the alleged spurious
coins.
The matter has been entirely explained
and set at rest by the authorities at the
mint in Philadelphia. The statement
published by them is as follows:
"The coins are all right. They are
perfectly genuine. In the manufacture
of the 1908 nickels the mould did not
quite fill out the edges of che coins, leav-
ing them slightly smaller than the regular
nickel and making the edges just little
bit rough.
1--WE have examined every coin sub
mitted by suspicious persons and find it
to be genuine. The fresh appearance of
the nickels bearing the 1908 stamp has
probably helped the suspicion. But many
of the coins, while made two years ago,
were only recently released, which &C
counts for their appearance of newness.
