DENIES WRIT TO PREVENT
SUIT TO COLLECT RENT
Tenant VainIy Urges That
Landlord Accepted Key.

Yice-C Chancellor Stevens today de-
MED the motion of Harry r. Hayes
for an order restraining Alice w.
Hayes and others from prosecuting
a suit in the Montclair District Court
to collect on a lease The levy, how
ever. should they secure one, will be
subject to the final ruling in the
Chancery action.
On May l, 1907. Harry f. Hayes
leased from Alice w. Hayes and Mary
Vanderpool Pennington, individually
and as administrators of the will of
Howard W. Hayes and Louis Pen
nington, a stable and shed in Rose
street At the time, it is now alleged,
there was an oral agreement that
Hayes could vacate the property upon
giving notice to the owners. He says
he surrendered the key to the prem
ises on June last. and claims that
the owners accepted the same from
his son.
Recently the owners started suit to
collect the rent from June until today
and to compel the fulfillment of the
lease, which has about five years
more to run. The rent is 5000 year.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
NOT TO BE SCOFFED AT
Pastor of South Orange Church
Sends Out VindicatiOn
of Practice.

The why's and wherefors of New
Years resolutions are set forth in a
letter compiled by the Rev. David
DeForest Burren. pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church. South Orange.
The clergyman is a firm believer IN
copies of the letter to every member
of his congregation. These are the
opinions of the cleric:
New Years resolutions.
You laugh at them? Why
of course. there is that fine old
proverb to be quoted in defense of
your laughter; Hell is paved with
good resolutions 1t may be a true
proverbs: quite probably it is; but
what of it? AS an argument against
making good resolutions on New
Years Day, or on any other day,
it is altogether worthless. Most of
the people who quote it so lightly
do 50 with a vague consciousness
that they are afraid to make fresh
resolutions because of their record in
breaking old ones.
AS a matter of fact. a good reso-
luton at any time is one of the
noblest things anyone of us can ua-
dertake. For resolution implies not
mere sentiment, nor mere impulse,
but a determination of the will. To
will to do right is your supreme
glory, your highest faculty. your
l., rs-fz #
which you come nearer to God, and
are more like God, than at any other
time in your life.
And good resolution on New
Years Day may be magnificent
thing The trouble with so many
New Years resolutions is that they
are merely sentimental, and not in
the least are they deliberate decisions
of the will; so that they are not true
resolutions after all. But a genuine
New Years resolution, deliberate,
thorough, is by no means to be des-
pissed.
"on one hand, it involves the
hearts honest confession that the
old year was not all it should have
been. The bells that at midnight

such things make us all. willy nilly.
think back over the year that i5
gone, and he who is willing to look
back, who can thoughtfully weigh
the mistakes and failures of the past,
who can do this honestly, with no
or slurring over of
anything, he is on the way to make
1913 better than 1912. Honest confess
sion is good for the SOUL
"On the other hand he who, with
this conscious confession of failure,
with this knowledge of his own Oft
revealed weaknesses, dares to deter
mine that he will do better in the
New Year, has done a fine thing.
For it is, as I said moment ago, a
God-like thing in a man, that he re-
solves to do right. This is the second
great step toward making 1918 bet
ter than 1912. It is to echo the

PRUDENTIAL'S BUSINESS
LARGELY INCREASED
Past Year Gratifying to Presi-
dent Dryden.

In Insurance circles it is generally
stated that 1912 has been very sue
cessful in the State of New Jersey,
marked by large increases in busi-
ness.
President Forrest F. Dryden, of the
Prudential, has stated that as far as
that company is concerned the year
has been one of signal success, the
company showing larger increases in
both industrial and ordinary depart
ments and greater individual results
per agent than in 1911. The efforts
of the companies today are devoted
to a continual reduction of the ex-
pense rate, and in this respect the
Prudential reports the lowest indus
trial expense rate and the lowest
agency expense cost per $1,000 of paid
business than ever before shown in
the history of the company.
The broad general principle of pro-
gressive conservation which clarac-
terized the company under the lead
ership of the late Senator John +.
Dryden is being maintained, and in
every essential respect the high
standards of the company have been
advanced.
During 1912 the Prudential COM
pany put into practise the pension
plan. or service retirement system"
for the benefit of the Industrial field
staff and the home office employees,
excluding officers. This plan provides
for the retirement of employees who
have attained the age of So, after
twenty-five continuous service with
the Prudential It is now working
out the details of a service disability
allowance system for the field force,
although the company has always
made provision for the care of agents
who had served faithfully and hon
orably for many years. The new sys-
tenn will be much more comprehen-
sive
During 1912 the Prudential raised
the minimum weekly wage of its fe-
male employees.
Since it's organization in 1875 the
Prudential has paid over $24, 900, 900 in
compensation to its Newark en-
ployees. 1t is probable that 10000
people depend upon the employees
of its home offices for their liveli-
hood.
1t is an interesting thing to know
that in the city of Newark the num-
Der of Prudential policies in force
average two to every three residents
of the city. and yet, in spite of. or
perhaps because of that fact, the
company continues to show a normal
increase in It's business in this city
year after year.
Some indication Of the immense
amount of detail work transacted in
the home offices of the company may
be CLEANED from the fact that every
week over 10000 applications for new
insurance and revivals are received
from the field staff in the United
States and Canada.
The company pays over 400 claims
per day, a large percentage of which
are paid within twenty-four hours of
the time of death, it being the rule of
the company that claims should be
paid Immediately upon receipt of due
proofs of death. The immense i'm
portance of this feature of the COM
pany's work, in pursuance of which
thousands of claims amounting to
over $27 100000 were promptly paid
during last year, can best be appre-

FRED BRADY FOR GOVERNOR

The Democracy of Delaware
can do no wiser act than set one
of Middletown's highly esteemed
first citizens, Frederick Brady,
at the head of their State ticket.
His candidacy for Governor
would confer an honor upon his
party. Mr.. Brady is more than
one of Middletown's first citi-
zens, he is preeminently one of
Delaware's foremost citizens,
warmly interested in, and active
ly promoting, all good causes
looking to the uplift and better
ment of the whole state.
But quite apart from the high
regard in which Mr.. Brady is
held by all persons regardless OF
political views, in the community
in which he lives, no finer tri-
butte could be paid any man so
widely engaged in business at
fairs, than the enthusiastic devo-
ton to him and his interests
shown by the large number OF
employees occupied in his various
enterprises. They who know
him best esteem him most.

On Sunday during the Hamtown Camp
meeting, large amount OF whiskey was
sold in various places away from the
grounds by a big lot Of professional
"boo,-leggers" who came down from

fault of the camp meeting authorities, a
great number of men, we're more or less
under the influence of drink, though only
few were so completely go as to warrant
their arrest by the officers. Good order
prevailed and but few arrests were
made, thanks to the camp meeting authori-
ties and the officers on duty there. Officer
Lee Cochran arrested Joseph Harris for
carrying a concealed deadly weapon, g
pistol and lodged him in Jail, and on
Monday morning, Squire Cox held him
in 5000 bail to answer TO the court above.
Mr.. Charles Strayhorn, of Newark,
where the man is employed by him, went

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Just before the hurricane broke on
Sunday afternoon, Mrs. George W. Hurd,
the wife OF a farmer living in Vance's
Neck near MCDonough, went ont into
the barnyard with her little boy Charles
eight years old, to look after the chickens.
After she had attended to them and gone
back to the house, she discovered that
Charles was missing.
Thinking he had better turn his colt
out of the barn for greater safety, the
boy had just led the animal out OF the
stable, when the storm burst upon him, in
full fury, a perfect hurricane of wind
and deluge of water. The frightent d
horse ran back into the stable, and the
boy sought temporary shelter under an
open wagon shed, where the rain and
muo pelted him go severely that he too
at last rushed into the stable. Hardly
had he gotten under its roof before a
gust of wind totally demolished the
wagon shsd he had inst left, and blew its
fragments far and wide! A huge frae-
ment roof Is feet square fell close to the
barn door.
Mr.. Hur1 accompanied by an older son
hastened to the barn in search of the
missing boy. The wind was so strong
that they had to support themselves with
sticks to prevent being blown to the
ground. Reaching the stable Mr.. Hurd
called for Charlie, and an object all
spatteTed and plsstered over with mud
till it looked more like huge mud turtle
than an eight year old boy, responded. 1t
was charlie badly scared and crying some
az he crouched in the dark corner of the
rocking, storm swept stable.
When asked what he did, the little
fellow replied, Il just called on the Lord
to protect me-and H. did!' So with all
his bad luck of wheat stacks burned,
buildings destroy ed, wind mill down
and all that-Mr. and Mrs Hnrd ought to
be, and no dnnbt are, grateful for thti,
larger mercies of their own lives, and
especially for that vi Charlie.
