Exclusive Agent Upheld by Court.

That a manufacturing concern cannot
engage a local resident as an exclusive
agent for the sale of its product in his
territory and then send sales people here
to make sales over his head without no.
tifying him of revocation of the original
contract, was demonstrated in the Dist
rict Court last week. Judge Robert H.
lngersoll in suit brought by Herman
H. Goldstein, typewriter agent, and pro-
prietor of the Typewriter Exchange, At
lantic City, whose ad. appears in The
Press, against the Royal Typewriter
Company, for $500 as commissions,
awarded verdict for $3.50 to the plain
tiff
Mr.. Goldstein in April, 1910, secured
the agency in Atlantic City for the Royal
Company and under an agreement sold
Royal Standard Typewriters on commits
sion. He was obliged to furnish bond to
the amount of $3.50.
Subsequently an agent, Jacob Nagley,
was sent to the shore by Manager Walter
johnson, of the Philadelphia office of the
typewriter firm. He made number of
sales, but did not notify Mr.. Goldstein
that he had invaded the latters terrific
~. LII Idct lHe pldlHtlH ulu uOJ KNOW OF
Nagley's presence here until November,
when he received letter from the COM
pany informing him that they reserved
the right of exclusive agency for this
territory. He at once stopped business
with them, and sued for the amount of
the commissions on the sales made by
Mr.. Nagley. The court allowed him for
commissions on sales made prior to the
notification he received in November.
Sydney P. de la Rue was Mr.. Goldstein's S
lawyer.

NOTHING BUT LEAVES

Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieve:
Over wasted life;
Ger sins committed while conscience
slept;
Promises made, but never kept;
Folly, and shame, and strife;
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves! No gathered
sheaveS
Of life's fair ripening grain;
We sow our seeds, 10! tares and weeds
Words, idle words, for earnest deeds
We reap with toll and pain,
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves! Sad memory
weaves
No veil to hide the past;
And as we trace our weary way,
Counting each lost and misspent day.
Sadly We find at last
Nothing but leaves.
Ali who shall thus the Master meet,
Bearing but withered leaves!
All! who shall at the Saviour's feet,
Before the awful judgment seat,
Lay down for golden sheaves
Nothing but leaves?"

county curing the year 1910, according
to the annual report of the County Clerk

JOHN DREW IN SMITH.

John Drew comes to Nixon's Apollo
Friday evening and Saturday matinee
and evening, Jan. p and IS, in Smith,
a comedy in which he appeared with re-
markable success for three months ut
the Empire Theatre, New York. The
piece is by w. Somerst Vaughan, author
of Lady Frederick, Jack Straw" and
other comedies that have won popularity.
1t hits bitterly at certain social follies
and at frivolous, idle, childless women of
the fashionable world, striking deeper
note and having more serious meaning
than any play in which Mr.. Drew has
been seen during recent years, and it
affords the distinguished actor opportu-
mites for the display of certain phases
of his art which his admirers have late
ly observed all too infrequently. An ex-
cellent company in the support Of Mr..
Drew will comprise the complete origi-
nal Empire Theatre cast.

MOSQUITOES KILLED BY GAS
Hawaii's Modern Way of Crushing the
Lowland Pest.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Out in Hawaii they have discovered a
new way of getting rid of mosquitoes,
according to Ernest Mott Smith, Secre-
tary of the Territorial Government and
President of the Territorial Board of
Health, who is making his first visit to
New York in five years, and who is at
the Belmont.
They administer gas. This is done not
with any idea of removing the bills OF
the mosquitoes by a sort OF painless dem
tistry process, but to exterminate the
insects themselves. Mr.. Smith says the
plan has proved so satisfactory that you
no longer have to put wire screens in
your windows in honolulu to prevent
being carried oil in the night.
Il he mosquito elimination campaign is
under the supervision OF the sanitation
board, but generous subscription to the
work, amounting to $1,000 month, is
being made by public-spirited citizens,
Mr.. Smith said yesterday. The sani
tary inspectors are obliged TO turn in re-
ports every night, and they have to in
sist upon the removal of old tin cans,
bottles, anything that will collect mois-
ture and form breeding place for the
pests. Besides, We drain all low places.
I'VE started using oil, but there was
complaint that this gummed up the bas-
ins of the sewage drains, and then our
chief sanitary officer hit upon the use of
calcium carbide as an exterminator. He
discovered its efficacy by accident. This
officer runs an automobile, and one day
in cleaning out the acetylene generators
of his lamps he threw some of the cal
cium carbide into an old bucket in which
were lot of wigglers of embryonic mos
quitoes. The next morning he discovered
that soapy film had formed on the
surface of the water and that the wig
glers were all dead.
He made some experiments and found
that calcium carbide was almost as in
expensive as oil and more effective; SO
since then we have been killing mos
quitoes by gas.
Then we employ mosquito fish. don't
know where the chief sanitary oflic er
gets these, but they are little creatures
from an inch and a half to two inches
long. You can take a jar so black with
wigglers that you cannot see through
the water and put some of these fish
into it, and in half an hour there will
not be a single wiggler outside the fish.
The fish are transparent and their little
bellies will be perfectly black with the
wigglers they have swallowed"

Pleasantville to Have Brass Band.

the Junior Mechanics Band. They will
have about l6 members with all brass in
struments and will soon be ready to en-
iven the town with choice music 1t is
hoped that the number of members will
gradually increase until finally we have
a band equal in size and ability to any
i'll this section. Pleasantville at one
time had two brass bands, and there is
no reason why a good band should not
receive liberal public patronage. The
Press believes it will, and wishes the
boys the greatest possible success.

EsTELLE ALLEN IN EAST LYNNE


The remarkable prosperity and Won

Lynne can be explained only by the
fact that the story the play unfolds is
intensely human. Although numberless
dramas have been written in imitation
of this excellent play, not one of them
reaches the depths Of feeling or sounds
the note of human appeal as truly as
does this dramatic picture of the joys
and sorrows of that beautiful unfortu-
nate Lady Isabel. To adequately por-
tray the varying emotions of this com
plex character is task, requiring not
only the charms Of youth but marked
degree Of histrionic ability as well.

Father Refused to Bury Daughter.

just prior to the shipment of Leonora
Capucci's body from Atlantic City to
Pleasantville for burial in the Potter's
Field, several Italians called at the un-
dertaking establishment where the body
had been held and pledged funds to COW
er funeral expenses for a proper burial.
The Italian girl, who was better known
as Santa Ellie, was fonnd dead at Corio's
Hotel, on North Mississippi avenue, ON
Friday night of last week. The several
Italians who will defray the expenses Of
burial are affiliated with the hotel in
which she was found, and did not inter
cede until the father refused to come
from Hammonton to bury his daughters

Lighting Contract Was For Years.

From talk upon the streets it is evi-
dent that many of our taxpayers and
citizens have the idea that the old con-
tract which the borough had for lights
was but one year in length, and the opin-
ion prevails in some quarters that the
lighting company is endeavoring to Sc
cure contract for a longer period of
time than before. Reference to the Coun-
ellis records show that the contract
which has just expired was for five
years, and that the lighting company
seeks renewal of the old contract for
the same period of time. These facts
are published simply to place the mat
ter correctly before the people.

name says the TattIer is Damola, and
there are people who say her real Chris

If so she must have adopted the more
