Larae Club Tor Boys.

The boy in the city must avoid many
side tracks if he desires to lead an
upright and useful life, says the Bos-
ton Globe. Constantly he is beset
with distractions which may lead him
astray into the rangs of the incompe-
tent, idle or even vicious. He is an
inquisitive, MISUNDERSTANDING crea-
ture, full of the great possibilities of
youth. His latent powers are pre-
cious; yet they are wasted with a prod
igality akin almost to that of nature.
Hence the establishment of the large
boys club in Roxbury, handsomely
housed and well equipped, lean that
many boys will be given the opportu-
nifty to keep on the main line leading
to a useful life.
A boys enthusiasm is more often
aroused when he thinks he-is playing
than VIXEN he is working at school.
The boys club can catch him when
he is enthusiastic and start that en-
thusiasm toward manly accomplish
ment. We wish the club every sue

STATE RECEIVES BIG TAX.
GETS Check for $685. 4s as Its Due
From Collateral Inheritance
Beuuests.

A check for 1886, 149.45 was receiv-
ed by the State from the estate of the
late Dewitt G. Blair, representing the
collateral inheritance tax on the en-
tire estate of $40, 1874, 1924 left by
Blair, who was a New York banker
and made his home at Belvidere. The
total tax assessed was 1901, 209.9 5, but
the estate took advantage of the 5 per
cent discount allowed if tax be paid
within six months after death. Re-
naming taxes of $9S3.41 and $701.9S
are to be paid the State upon the
deaths, respectively, of Mrs. Anna B.
Goodrich and Sarah B. Stevens, nieces
of Mrs. Blair and beneiciaries under
the will.
Under the will executed October 25,
1906, the residuary legatees were
Blair's sons, Clinton Ledyard Blair
and John Insley Blair, who were nam
ed as executors and trustees. The will
provided that c.. Ledyard Blair, in
view of his services in assisting to adj
minister the estate of his grandfather,
John 1. Blair, should receive one-sixth
of his fathers total estate.
In lieu Of dover and all one-third
rights, the will bequeathed $4,000
to Blair's widow. In addition a trust
fund of 81, 500, 900 was set aside dur
ing the lifetime of Mrs. Blair, from
which she was to receive the income.
The executors we're directed to set
aside sufficient funds from the residue
of the estate to pay all insurance pre-
miums and keep in proper repair the
real estate left to Mrs. Blair.
Three trust funds of $4,000 each
were set aside for nieces of Mrs. Blair,
Mrs. Catherine Hagan, Mrs. Anna B.
Goodrich and SaraM B. Stevens. The
nieces were to receive the income
from these funds during their life
time and in the case of Mrs. Goodrich
provision was made that upon her
death the principal should go to her
children, if any survive.
The Legislative Committee on
T~reasurer's Accounts made the annual
audit of State Treasurer Grosscup's
books. The audit showed that the
State has a cash balance of $3,747,-
796, 89 and securities of $6,434,130.19.

Drug Dealer Acquitted of Fraud.

John H. MacLennon, a patent medl-
cine dealer, of Gloucester City, was
acquitted by a jury in the Camden
District Court of the charge of violat-
ing the State pharmacy law. The
specific charge was that he sold para
goric and tincture of iodine without
being a registered pharmacist.
In his charge to the jury, Judge
French took a position similar to that
of the Court of Errors and Appeals
in the case of the Atlantic City Coun-
cilmen who were led into the con
crete Boardwalk" graft trap by Burns
detectives. In this case the Court held
that the object of the law was to pre-
vent crime rather than cause it; that
officers of the State had no right to
assist in the commission of a crime
in order to obtain a money fine.
The State produced as witnesses two
operatives of the Cosgrove Detective
Agency, of Newark, who were employ
ed by the State Board of Pharmacy.
One of the detectives testified to pur-
chasing from the defendant a bottle
of ~paregoric and a bottle of tincture
of iodine. MacLennon admitted the
| sale of the drugs as a humane act, de-
claring the men called on him and
represented that they were in great
distress and pain.
Lawyers for the defense commended
that the sale was made by MacLennon
as a person anxious to assist a fellow
man. and that the act which provides
a punishment for the sale of drugs
by one not properly authorized was
not intended to apply to cases where
a person is endeavoring to relieve dis
tress.
Judge French told the jury that con
viction meant a penalty OF 800
which would go to the State Board oil
Pharmacy. The. jury reached a yer
dict for the defendant.
