THE SMALL BOARD STANDS.

The Supreme Court. by Justice CARR
son. yesterday rendered decision in the
Quo Warranto proceedings to GUST the new
Board of Freeholders. The court held
that the circumstances In this case were
entirely different from those in Mercer and
other counties where the law had been de-
clared void. Messrs. Bleakly and Stock
well, who represented the new Board did
touch upon this point but argued entirely
upon the conditions. In other counties
the old Boards had organized according
to law and claimed to be the prope
authorities, but in Burlington county the
members simply gave up, did not attempt
to organize, and consequently did not
have any legal standing.
The opinion rendered by Justice Garri-
son leaves the matter open for trial by
jury to determine the standing of the two
boards and the matter will be presented at
the October term of court.
In the meantime the new Board is in
possession of the county affairs and is
legally qualified to transact all business
that may be presented and to protect the
interests of the county.
The Legislature last evening passed
the Hennessy Freebooter bill which al
lows the acceptance or rejection of small
Boards of Freeholders by vote at
special election.

Following their usual custom of attend
ing divine service the Sunday before
Memorial Day, the Grand Army, Company
E, Sons of Veterans and patriotic orders
OF town attended service at the Mount
Holly M. E. church on Sunday evening.
The pastor, Rev. Thomas j ]. Wright.
preached very interesting and appro-
pirate sermon, which was thoroughly en-
joyed by large congregation.
Memorial Day was established In 1858
by Gen. John A. Logan, then Commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. He designated the "30th day of
May, 1868, for the purpose of strewiBg
flowers or otherwise decorating the grave,
of comrades who died in defense of their
country during the late rebellion, and
whose bodies now lie in almost every citys
village, hamlet and churchyard in the
land" In closing this general order for
the observance of a National Memorial
Day, Gen. Logan said: 1T is the purpose
of the Commander-in-chief to inaugurate
this observance with the hope that it will
be kept up from year to year while sur.
vivor of the war remains to honor the
memory of his departed comrades.
For As years Memorial day has beer

important 10 Coal Dealers.

Under the laws of New Jersey relating
to weights and measures there Is one that
is of great Importance to dealers in grain,
coal, coke or charcoal. 1t says:
"All grain, coal, coke or charcoal, re-
CARELESS of quantity, shall be sold by
weight. No person, firm or corporation
shall deliver or cause to be delivered any
grain or coal In amounts exceeding 100
pounds without each sale of delivery be-
ing accompanied by a delivery ticket and
duplicate thereof delivered with each load
of grain or coal sold and delivered. On
both tickets there shall be distinctly ex
pressed indelibly in ink or otherwise, the
quantity or quantities in pounds of grain
or coal, coke or charcoal contained in the
cart, wagon or other vehicle used in such de
livery, the name of the purchaser thereof,
and the name of the dealer from whom
purchased. One of such tickets shall b.
delivered to the person receiving sucf
coal, and the other ticket shall be retained
by the seller of the grain or coal" This
law does not include coal sold by the car
load and provides that grain, coke, Goa
or charcoal In quantities less than ont
hundred pounds may be sold by the stand
ard dry measure.
Edward T. Haines, superintendent o
weights and measures for Burlington
county, has received instructions to SCI
that this part of the law is rigidly en-
forced. When a wagon leaves the Goa
yard the driver must carry with him tn
two tickets referred to and they canno
designate "a ton" or half ton, /" but tn
number Of pounds must be specified. TIL,
inspector of weights and measures ma.
be on the lookout In any place and h.
has the right to see the tickets, ascertain
If they are both alike, and if he is still no
entirely satisfied may direct the driver 0
the wagon to go to scale and have tn
| load weighed.

The promise of hours full of fun at the
Junior Chautauqua is saving bushels OF
pennies from the gum man and the candy
man this summer.
One ''half fare'' season ticket admits a
boy or girl under fifteen to every enter
tainment of the whole seven days under
the Chautauqua tent. Besides this it adj
mits the holder to classes in folk-games
folk-songs, and in story telling. The two
Junior Chautauqua leaders in each town
conduct an organized picnic and coach a
children's play. The boys will be given
chance to show the athletic and the hik.
ing stuff they are made of. On picnic day
there will be few 'peeks'' at the stars,
just for fun, the leaders say. Simple nature
lessons will come in, too.
The best news yet about the Junior
Chautauqua that will come to the town is
that it is going TO last right through the
year. The plan of Prof Pearson for Miss
Oppenlander, the Junior Chautauqua
leader, is that she gives up her entire
time to keep things stirring among the
children of the one hundred and two
Chautauqua towns.
In Collingswood, New Jersey, the little
folks are depositing their pennies with
the chairman of the Junior Literary Com
mittee. The first week after the announ-
cement was made, twenty mine of them
opened accounts, ranging from three cents
to Seventy-two.

Anonymous Letter.

Leon Patterson is the gentleman who
has leased the lot corner of Paxson and
Murrell streets, and will exhibit moving
pictures there. This move does not APP
pear to be satisfactory to some one and
the result has been the following letter
which was sent to Mr.. Patterson. It reads
as follows:
Mt Holly

see you are putting up your picture
show much to the annoyance of the neigh
bourhood hope you wont haYe 'enY luck
with it. you cant run Ed. hulse out of

The handwriting was evidently intended
to be disguised, but there are enough
characters In the letter to give clue to
the writer. The matter has been turned
over to a Government detective and it is
possible arrests may follow. DIR. Carter
received similar letter but he destroyed
it. Regardless of the threats conveyed in
the letter Mr.. Patterson expects to go
right on with his show and will try to
open tomorrow evening. If any damage
Is done to his property 1t will not be hard
to discover the offender.
