can be stored each winter.
Over $1,000 acres of land are
now either decided lands in the

THEY DIDN'T GET HOME TILL
MORN; OH! WHAT A TIME.
Mystic Shriners Return from
Their Philadelphia Celebration.

The members of Salaam Temple,
Mystic Shrine, who went to Philadel-
phia last night to attend the celebra-
ton of the feast of AL Kalam, the
Oriental Thanksgiving, returned to this
city about 4 o'clock this morning, sat-
isfied that they had attended probably
the most impressive ceremony in the
history of the Shrine in this country.
When the Newark Shriners reached
Philadelphia they were met by the
members Of the famous Lu Lu Temple.
of that city, and. together with the
delegations from other cities, marched
to the Academy of Music, where the
feast was observed with betting cere-
monies and the occasion celebrated as
tradition demands. The parade was,
incidentally. one of the largest that the
Shriners have ever held. and, despite
the inclement weather, the paraders
made a brave showing.
A large class of novices were led
across the hot sands and instilled with
the spirit of true Shriners. These eere-
monies, together with the program ar
ranged for the proper observance OF the
feast, made the occasion one of the
most impressive in the history of the
Shrine in the United States.
Delegations from all parts of the
country participated in the celebration.

BY MRS. MAE MARTYR.

A. D g.: You ask for a recipe for a
greaseless face cream that can be made

dozen formulas. but this is far the best
of all. and it positively does not encour-
age a growth of hair: Get one ounce
of almozoin from your druggist, put II
in a fruit jar, add half a pint of cold
water and two teaspoonfuls of glycerine;
aimozoin is dissolved: let stand over
night: in the morning 1t is ready for use.
Use this almozoin cream as you would
any cold cream. You soon find it beauti-
fies the complexion and keeps the skin
moist, smooth and pliable. 1t is cleansing,
healing and soothing, and there Is moth
freckles. If troubled with blackheads.
gallow skin or muddy complexion, use for
massaging. II k out all pore-dirt and
makes the skin finer in texture, prevent
ing return of blackheads, because large
pores are reduced in lie.
Mrs. T. B.: Your clothes will not seem
TO fit properly nor will you be able to look
your best as long as you are so stout.
You can readily get rid of that "too-fat
condition by dissolving 4 ounces of par
notis in III pints hot water. This remedy
is perfectly safe and harmless. but has
worked wonders in reducing the weight
spite Of their attempts to retain a stylish
figure by exercising and dieting. Try this
and You will find 1t an excellent remedy.
yours Truly" You confess to only rs
years of age, and yet bewail apparent loss
of your youthful complexion. 1t is your
own fault If You do not look as well as
you did five or six years ago. Your skin
will respond readily to proper treatment.
You can make an inexpensive complexion
beautifier at home that clears and whitens
the kin without use of powder or cos
metic. Get from your druggist four ounces

water and add two t~easpoonfuls of glycer-
ine. Apply to hands. forearms and face
with the palm Of the hand. gently rub
hing until dry. 1t Will make a dark and
oily skin fresh and rosy, restoring and
preserving glrlish charm. It's use cannot
be detected and it does not rub off the
whole day long.
Winnie: Your eyes need a strengthening
tonic to overcome redness and inflamma-
ton. They would not tire so easily from
the glare of the sun If strong and healthy.
Get from your druggist one ounce of crys-
tos and dissolve it in one pint Of cold

eve, and it Will relieve tired, dull, watery

EXPERT TESTIMONY is
CONTINUED in ZINC SUIT.
Congressman Parker's Case Will
Be a Long One.

More expert testimony was taken be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Howell today in
the suit brought by Congressman Rich
ard Wayne Parker against the New
Jersey Zinc Company to enforce the
terms of his lease in a mine owned by
him in Sussex county. Questions in
yolving the payment of royalties, ore
weights and the removal of certain pill
lars forming part of the mine ave the
experts plenty of opportunity to dis
play their technical knowledge before
an array of eminent counsel.
1t is likely that the taking of the tes-
%timony, which only the lawyers, the
mining men and the bench appear to
understand, will go on well into next
week. A dozen days were spent on
the proceedings before the last sumner
vacation, and yesterday they opened UP

WEALTHY WIDOW
MADE DEFENDANT
IN REALTY ACTION
Woman Claims That She Signed
Agreement Without Under
standing Its Terms.

Because Mrs. Mary z. Wilde. a
wealthy widow. of IS South Fullerton
avenue, Montclair, had refused to carry
out the terms of her agreement for the
sale of a lot in Union street made with
Horatio Craig, also of Montclair, she
figured as the defendant in proceedings
before Vice-Chancellor Stevens in
Chancery chambers today to compel
her to give up the Iced to the property.
Her defense is that she signed the
agreement without reading or under
standing it fully n thought-she was
selling lane in Union street 125 feet
deep, but afterward learned that the
deed covered $50 feet.
Refuses TO Give Deed.
Before the signing of the agreement
Craig paid to Mrs. Wilde $500 as a
deposit and part payment of the pur-
chase price of $3.50. Mrs. Wilde. it
was not denied. agreed to make the
conveyance on or before July 10, 1869.
but when the time rolled around re-
fused to give up the deed, on the advice
of William r. Howe. her counsel, as, it
is claimed. there was an error in the
description of the property detrimental
to his clients interests. She rendered
the return of the $500, together with in
terest, but Mr.. Craig insisted upon the
carrying out of the agreement.
It was part of Mrs. Wilde's story
that she relied wholly when the agree
ment was made upon the representa-
tons of Robert NJ. Hening, a Mont
clair real estate a who was acting
for Craig, and hat he tool the paper
away with him Immediately after it's
execution.
Harry N. Reeves, counse for Craig,
cross-eXamined the witnesses.
