None Has Microscopy in Prayer.

There is such a thing as a gift
in prayer" Some great souls, dwell
ing on the high places of Zion, have,
from the time of Elijah on, seemed to
be able to reach out and sweep the
skies with. the search1ights of their
penetrating faith. But If prayer is, a
gift. it is not the monopoly OF the
favored few, for it is that kind of a
gift which may itself be had for the
asking. ASK. and Ii shall be given
you." is a precept which applies not
only to the fruits of prayer. but also
to the power of prayer itself.

Sues for Widows Share
of First Husbands Estate
fsuecIaI to the Newark star.l

TRENTON, Nov. 14.-In an anpltca-
lion to Chancellor Walker by Mrs.
Allen o. Meyer, formerly of Emgle-
wdad, for rule to show cause why
q. final decree of divorce should not
be set aside is revealed an attempt 10
secure a widows dover in an estate
valued at 100000 after a final decree
Of divorce has been signed. The d.
vorce in question was granted 10
Henry p. Durham, of EngleWood,
from his wife, Bertha Florence Dun
ham. Mrs. Durham after her hus-
bands death married Meyer and Went
to Atlantic City. She Is now the Pc
tit,oner in these proceedings.
The decree nisi was granted TO
Durham October 3. 1912, and the day
following he died. Without knowledge
of his death, the Chancery Court Six
months later under the law, on April
1, 1918, granted Durham the final de-
cree of divorce. The deceased left an
estate valued at 100000. Mrs. Dun
hams marriage took place before the
date of the final decree OF divorce.
The union was entirely legal, as MIS-
Durham was widow.
Mrs Durham sets up in her appli-
cation that Durham was dead when
the final decree was signed, and II
could have no legal effect. Ii the
court holds to this view Mrs. Meyer
will receive her dover right, or one
third of the $500 900. Chancellor Walk
er has reserved decision.

TUBE TRAINS TO
TRANSPORT MAILS
New Postal Service Between
Here and New York Becomes
Effective Monday.

The Hudson and Manhattan Short
Line railroad will be used for the
transportation of mail between New
York and this city, beginning Mon
day, according to information re-
ceived today by Postmaster Frank j.
Book. This decision Is the result of
numerous complaints by the local
postmaster of inferior service be-
tween this city and the metropolis.
Following Mr.. Books complaints to
the department he held several con-
situations with E. M. Norris, super
intendent of the railway mail division,
and the latter reported to Post
MASTER General Burleson that the
Manhattan tubes could be used to
good advantage as mail-carriers.
Postmaster e. NJ. Morgan, OF New
York, and Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Stewart were commits
stoned by Postmaster General Burle-
son to investigate the practicability
of using the tubes for mail, and fol.
lowing their favorable report arrange
ments for the establishment of the
service on Monday were completed.
Much time is lost under the present
system by the transfer at Philadel
phia of mails coming from the West
and South This mail will now b,
transferred at the Manhattan Trans
fer. 1t will ALSO permit of the clos
ing of mails for New York city on,
to three hours later than by the OLE
schedule. 1t will also improve tn,
mail service between Newark and
points in the New England. States.
Specific instructions regarding thu
use of the tube trains as mail carriers
