COURT HAD NO
JURISDICTION
souRI RmbOy Case Had to
be Dismissed.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


South Amboy, July ia suit
ein the small aus court came up for
trial yesterday, Justice Birmingham
presiding, in which Charles Erich,
the harness maker of. Broadway,
was plaintiff and William Rehfuss,
who keeps the hotel formerly run by
Flynn & Kane, of Broadway, was
defendant. The action was brought
in tort to o a certain watch
alleged to have been taken by the
plaintiffs son and disposed of to the
defendant. The defendant was rep
resented by Counsellor Brown, of
Perth Amboy; the complainant act
ing as his own counsel.
Tie Case being duly opened, coun-
sci for the defense asked for a dis
missal of the suit as the justice had
not qualified under the existing law
governing the small cause court
which took effect July A., 1911, re-
quiring all justices of the peace to
have a seal on which should be en-
graved, the small cause court, the
Justices name, the ward or township
and New Jersey, and that the sum-
mons must bear the imprint of this
seal. AS the summons did not bear
the imprint of the justice Mr.. Brown
claimed he had no jurisdiction and
the CASE was dismissed.
While ignorance of the law is no
Gus even for this court, yet 1t
seems hardly Just that our legisla-
ture should make a law effective be-
fore there was an opportunity for
the justices to know that changes in
the law had been made and were
effective. The NEWS correspondent,
who is also a Justice of the peace,
had stumbled, as it were, pom this
amendment to the small u act,
and has secured his seal and has
been using it since the law became
effective, yet while putting forth his
best efforts he was unable to secure
q copy of the law and was not
familiar with all its requirements
until the present time, therefore by
making a law effective before the
opportunity is presented to know its
requirements, especially where a
courts jurisdiction comes in ques-
tino, not only places the court in a
ridiculous position, but also works
harm to litigants who are compelled
to resort to court for the settlement
of their difficulties. The law should
not, in our opinion, be effective until
they are printed, and are for sale or
distribution.

NEW DESIGNS IN CUT GLASS
Topics of Interest to Feminine Readers.

The new cut-glass centerpieces for the
table show a variation from the deep
allover style of cutting in a nearer the
surface cut, which leaves more plain
spaces, thus bringing out more distinctly
flowers, leaves, vines, &c.
But after all it is the shape and mount
ing of the newer pieces which are their
greatest attractions. Speaking gener-
ally, there are two leading styles of
these centerpieces-the fiat, and those of
branching effect. The most stylish of
the latter are not more than twelve
inches high, ami have slender, vinelike
silver or gold support. Half a dozen or
more small horn-shaped or Cup-shaped
projections radiate from the support at
different angles, each designed to hold
flowers. The variations of this style are
many. In some designs there is
larger center bowl from which branch
cut smaller receptacles, shaped like
elongated tulips, orchids. or wide-open
water lilies. with in some cases cut
glass leaves to match. Filled with flow
ers, the effect of this holder is charming

BE READY FOR THE
UNEXPECTED GUEST

At some time or other every housewife
has experienced the inconvenience and
embarrassment Of an empty Iarder, and
as a general rule this emergency occurs
at the most inopportune time-just when
unexpected company comes or the wealth
er is bad or the stores are closed. A lit
tie wise forethought in regard to stock
ing the family larder will not only eliui-
nate every possibility Of such an emer-
gency, but will afford the housewife the
means of quickly serving n tempting and
fuss or bother, and suitable for any oc-
casion.
In order to be prepared for such occa-
sions the housewife should constantly
keep on hand several cans Of prepared
soup. Nothing is SO easily served as
these delicious soups and they make a
thoroughly satisfying repast either as a
luncheon or as the basis Of a more pre-
tentious meal
AS tomato soup can be utilized in so
many different ways, it would be well
to head the list with several cans,
and augment it with such other kinds as
suit best the personal taste of the family
end the season, such as cham bouiIlon,
beef, mutton. OK tail, mock turtle, celery,
vegetable, pea, or any of the other kinds.
With very little trouble these SOUPS can
be transformed into the most delightful
dishes, and with generous supply of
cans in the larder the most particular
housewife need not worry ever the vista
ttion Of unexpected guests or an empty
larder
