Conversation in a restaurant be-

MOLE WORKS DURING WINTER
Little Animal Keeps Busy Where

His Strength Is Marvellous.
(By T. H. sCHEFFER.)

IBy T. Fl. SCHEFFEK.)
The mole, like the pocket gopher,
is more or less active at all seasons
of the year, but it is during the rainy
period, when the soil is moist, that
his work is pushed most vigorously.
Shallow runways are then rapidly ex-
tended in all directions and old run
ways repaired.
When mole makes up its mind
to go in certain direction, nothing
but concrete or stone will stop him.

SUED FOR BREACH
OF PROMISE, WINS
Arlington Woman Non-Suited
in Case Against Wealthy
Man.

Because Leonard McCloud, well-to-
do, of sos Devon street, Kearny, Of
fered to become the husband of Mrs.
Emma Courduan, of $50 Kearny ave-
nue., Arlington, when the latter's suit
for $4,000 for breach Of promise was
being heard before Supreme Court
Justice Vail in Jersey City yesterday,
the case was non-suited.
1t developed that McCloud became
intimately acquainted with Mrs. Cour-
duan about six years ago. a year fol-
lowing the death of his wife. A quar-
rel six months ago is said to have re-
suited in the couple becoming I'M
friendly.
Bringing suit for $4,000 for breach
of promise, Mrs. Courduan alleged
that one night several weeks ago Nc
Cloud proposed marriage. She is said
to have been opposed to the hour but
not the idea, and asked that another
day be chosen and an earlier hour.
To this McCloud is said to have
agreed, but, according to Mrs. Cour-
duan, the agreement was not full
filled.
After Mrs. Courduan had related
this story in court, McCloud Is said to
have announced his willingness to be
married and Justice Vail ordered a

body could not be produced no COM

Mrs. Saracino, the mother of the
complainant, said that she had sold
the goats carcass in several parts
to her neighbors for the grand sum
of $1.61. 1t seems that on Saturday
the goat in question strolled from the
cellar of the Saracino home, at 2S5
Adams street, and walked beneath
the wheels of a wagon owned by De
Lacio.
After much argument on the
cease" Judge Hahn handed down a
verdict of guilty" and decided that
De Lascio should pay 81 a week for
twelve weeks, under the goat own
ers' liability act.'
Mrs. Saracino thought that because
the goat gave milk it was worth $40,
but Judge Hahn thought otherwise,
in view of the testimony of Goat
Expert Brex, that the goat, for
some time past had shown loss
of appetite and had refused to eat
anything but "boiled front shirts

DEATH SUMMONS
TO PATRICK FORD
Noted Editor Fought Land
lordism Forty-three Years
In Irish World.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Patrick A.
Ford died yesterday of pneumonia at
his home, $50 Clermont avenue, Brook
| lyn, after an Illness of four days.
He was the founder and for forty
three years the editor of the Irish
| World.
Mr.. Ford was known on both sides
of the Atlantic as one of the foremost
champions of the Irish cause. His
name is a household word wherever
there are representatives of the Irish
race. In England he has been regard
ed for a generation and more as the
personiflcation of Irish opposition to
English rule.
In the United States he enacted no
unimportant part in American poll
tics. Under his leadership thousands
of voters in 1884 broke away from
| the Democratic party and cast their
ballots for Blaine, his personal friend.
How Burchards Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion saved the day for the
Democratic party is a matter OF his
| tory.
His influence exerted through the
medium of the Irish World continued
to be felt in subsequent presidential
elections.
Fought Landlordism. .
While doing this work on this side
| of the Atlantic he was inspiring his
countrymen in Ireland with his own
irreconcilable hostility to Irish land
lordism. Gladstone In a speech deliv-
cred in the House of Commons on
April IS, 1882, declared But for the
work of the Irish World is doing
with the money it is sending across
tho ocean there would be no agitation
In Ireland"
Equally emphatic was the testimony
of famous Irish patriots.
Born in Galway, Ireland, April IL,
| 1887, he emigrated to America with
his parents in 1916. Boston was the
field of his early activities. As boy
he obtained employment in the print
ing office of William Lloyd Garrison,
who at the time was editing and
publishing the Liberator. In 1855 he
began his journalistic career by writ
ing for the Boston newspapers.
Veteran of Civil War.
In 1860 he was the editor and pub
Usher of the Boston Sunday Times.
When the war came Mr.. Ford enlisted
in the Ninth Massachusetts,. He took
part in the desperate charge of Fred
ericksburg.
After the Civil War he removed to
Charleston. S. c., where he founded
the Charleston Gazette. Four years
| later he issued in New York the first
! copy of the Irish World, with which
his name was to be identified for the
next forty-three years.
When the Land League came into
existence in 1879 he founded $500
branches of it in the United States.
Through the Irish World he collected
and forwarded to the treasurer of the
Land League in ireland almost half
million dollars.
He is survived by these children:
Robert q. Ford, Austen ]. Ford, Pat
rick J. Ford, Edward J. Ford, Ellen J.
Ford, Mrs. Mary Mooney, Thomas j.
Ford, James B. Ford, Paul Ford,
Francis S. Ford and Mrs. Leo r.
O'Brien. Mrs. Ford died eighteen
years ago.

Bankrupt's Trustee Brings
Action to Get Jewelry Business

An order returnable tomorrow and
signed by Bankruptcy Referee G.
Adams yesterday requiring the Essex
County Jewelry Company, of 292 Mar
ket street, to show cause why the
business should not be turned over
to the trustee for Israel Piken,
bankrupt, living at 2S9 Market street.
George Furst, representing Clarence
w. Blatt, the trustee, served an
order on the company yesterday re-
straining it from selling any of the
stock in the store until he has made
an inventory. A report will have to
be made to Attorney Furst for
everything sold pending a decision
by eferee Adams in the turn over
proceedings.
The jewelry store was formerly
conducted by Piken. When his credi-
tors pressed him for payment, his
wife says he turned the store over
to the jewelry company formed for
the purpose by his wife, her brother
and a cousin. No consideration was
paid for the business, according to
the past testimony, but it was under
stood that the company would assume
and meet the obligations OF Plken.
The companys alleged failure to
carry out this agreement was foi.
lowed by Piken's bankruptcy.

MRS. PANKHURST'S
WELCOME DOUBTED

There is considerable doubt in the
local suffrage circles as to how Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, the noted Eng
fish militant, would be received If
she sets foot on Jersey soil. So far
she has not included this State in
her itinerary, and for this reason no
official recognition of her presence in
this country has yet been taken by
the local or the State organizations
Mrs. Pankhurst Is travelling indie
pendently this year, and has her
own manager, who makes all her ar
engagements. If she decided to visit
this State the various organizations
will hold meetings to decide If she
is to be officially recognized. 1t is
known that individual sympathy is
divided in this city.
Both the Pennsylvania and the
Wisconsin ballot seekers have de-
clared that they are not in accord
with Mrs. Pankhurst's methods and
will make no attempt to welcome her.
