HILARY" MADE
EN- DO STUNTS
Hypnotist Amused and Interested
New Hope Audience With Six
Local Subjects Working.
HE WILL APPEAR HERE AGAIN

Hilary" the hypnotist, did a
whole lot of stunts with half a dozen
local subjects last Saturday evening
in Rockers hall, New Hope, and
amused and interested the audience
for two hours.
There was plenty of skepticism in
the early part of the evening, but it
vanished before the entertainment
was closed, and even the doubling
Thomases' couldn't explain how he
did the things.
In the beginning he had his SUBJ
jects falling in different ways, under
hypnotic suggestion. and then he
brought in a big climax by placing
two OF them separately, with heads
resting on chairs and feet on a table.
and their stiffened bodies supported
three full-grown men without bend
ing. When they came out of the
sleep" they knew nothing of what
they had done.
He had them laughing until they
couldn't stop; he wouldn't let one
fellow talk at all; he had them chas-
ing imaginary bees out of their hair,
and dancing because their chairs got
too hot to sit upon; he had their fin
gers fastened to articles of furniture
and the walls; they could not cross a
rope because he told them not to,
and after 'Fmany more interesting
stunts" they finally returned to
their seats in the hall creeping on
all fours."
Hilary" who in private life is j.
A. Henderson, has been visiting his
brother-in-law, Joseph Herman, of
Solebury. That his work is clever
goes without saying. He will ap-
pear at Carversville Saturday even
ming, and at Rockers Hall again on
next Wednesday evening.

Suffrage Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Lam

at the home of Mrs. Clark ,Pierson,
was especially interesting as some
of the members of the association
have been making canvass of the
city to ascertain the opinion of the
voters for and against suffrage.
This work will continue, and the re-
suit sent into the headquarters of the

themselves and others, and it is
said that some have taken as many
as a dozen bottles back with them.
Two of them had so many bottles in
their clothes one day that two fell
out and broke in the local railroad
station, but before an officer could
be summoned the culprits had board
ed the Pennington train and de-
parted flor that place.
Judge Queen. of the Hunterdon

habit, and it is expected that some

meeting at which the possibilities OF
starting get acquainted" move
ment will be considered. 1t is the
aim of the chamber to have the mer-
chants and business men tour the
country within six or seven miles 8
this city and let people know who
they are.
Just what effect the probable
closing of the Delaware and Raritan
Canal feeder as a transportation
line will have upon this city was
discussed at some length by the
trustees.
Several local manufacturing plants
will be affected so far as getting
coal by boat is concerned, but it
seemed to be the opinion that they
would stand a better chance of
getting railroad sidings, which they
do not now have, and this might
more than make up for the other
loss.
The shipping of coal by boat has
not been profitable for some years,
as the rates are practically those of
the railroad, with more difficulties,
and the past few years the larger
boats had to be lightened before
they could be ferried across from
New Hope after they came down
the Pennsylvania Canal from Mauch
Chunk. thus adding to the cost,
bringing it above the railroad
charges.

HEAD CRUSHED

Team He Was Driving.
HIS HOME WAS In MARYLAND

Elmer Thomas, a 26-year old
colored man employed by Deputy
Recorder of Deeds Bernard Nc
Donnell. at his home on the York
road, New Hope, was run over by a
farm wagon and his head so badly
crushed that he died Friday evening
within an hour of the accident.
Thomas had been hauling some
stuff from the mill, and on his way
stopped in a local hotel, where he
spent some time. The accident
occurred near the Mcdonnell home,
the unfortunate man falling from
the wagon directly under the wheels,
which passed entirely over his head.
The team ran into New Hope,
where it was stopped. and DR.. R. C.
Magill was called, but he could do
nothing for the man, who bled pro-
fusely from internal hemorrhages.
Undertaken Worthington took the
body in charge, and the young mans
relatives, at Union Bridge, Md,

80 DAYS FOR
BUYING BOOZE
Joseph Laubert Sentenced by Lam
bertyille's Recorder for VIC
lating Jag List Law.


City Recorder Frank w. Larson,
sentenced Joseph Laubert to ninety
days in the county jail, Friday, for
purchasing Fliquor for Benjamin
Martin, whose name holds promin-
nent position upon Lambertville's
official flag list"
This sentence, which almost took
Laubert's breath away. and establish
ed an official record for sobriety al
most by night time, among others
either members of or candidates
for the jag. list" is but a fore
runner of others that may be
handed out almost any time, accord
ing to the Recorder.
Martin started for the meeting of
the Board of Protectors last week
to ask the removal of his name,
but on his way there he accumulated
such beautiful jag" that Police
man Huselton had to assist him to
the city cooler on George street.
Arraigned before Recorder Lari-
son, that official wanted to know
how it was that tagged" man
could obtain liquor, and finally Mar
tin admitted that Lambert obtained
it for him. He said that he met
the latter upon Bridge street Tues
day morning and gave him 81 with
which to make the purchase, and
met him upon Franklin street gave
him the liquor, which cost fifty cents,
and thirty cents change, keeping
twenty cents for the trouble.
About 5 o'clock Tuesday after
noon he again met Lambert, this
time upon Church street, and the
latter gave him a drink from his
bottle of liquor, and it was shortly
after this that the policeman took
him in tow.
Martin was let off with repri-
mand, and a warrant issued for
Laubert, charging him with pro-
curing liquor for man whom he
knew to be on the jag list"
Policeman Huselton landed him and
he admitted all the allegations.
When Recorder Larson told him
that he committed serious crime,
and that ninety days in Jail was the
sentence he was dumfounded. 1t
was only a short time ago that his
name was removed from the flag
ist," upon the promise that he
would keep away from liquor.
Recorder Larson isn't waiting
for any detective assistance, but is
doing his own investigating, and
promises some lively happenings be-
fore many more moons have passed.
He says that men of supposedly
good standing have been purchasing
liquor for some of the "jaggers,
and that he purposes making an
example of some of them pretty
soon, and they may get six months
sentence to mediate upon the error
of their ways.
The Pennington Branch railroad
has been doing an extra passenger
business lately, resulting from the
travel of several men whose names
grace the Jag list of the county seat
town. They have been coming down

MEMORIAL SCHOOL
NOT LOCATED
But Halifax's Chances Still Good.
Matter Will be settled in June

The Daughters of the Ameri-

session held in Washington have
decided to defer decision regard
ing the proposed location of the
Patriots Memorial School at Hall
fax until June. Halifax s chances
for securing the location of
his school near the site of Grove
douse' in Halifax, the
historic residence of Willie Jones,
md home of John Paul Jones, the
amous sea fighter, are still good,
she members of the Board mere
y taking the stand that the mat
er should not be settled hastily.
dallfax people and many other
citizens of this State have work
ed and are working hard to Sc
cure the location of this school at
Halifax. Mrs. E. c. Gregory, of
Salisbury, and Miss Ursula Dan
.el, of Halifax, lead the fight for
Halifax in the Washington ses-
sion. Their efforts have been
ably supported by Senator Stead
nan, who secured an appropria-
ton from the State General AS
;embly, and by the entire Board
Of County Commissioners who
nave made liberal contingent ap-
preparations towards the school.

In 1923 a copy of Shakespeare
sold for $500. In 1886 Oliver
Wendell Holmes was offered this
same book for ..$4,00 But had

interest at 4 per cent in 1923, it
would have amounted in 1886 to
$160, 600. There is a moral in
these figures. Small regular de-
poslts in good strong bank will
amount, together with the inter
