Court Affairs.

There was not much doing in court
Thurs day in the criminal line, but
there we're several orphans court mat
tiers settled.
Yesterday Judge Lippincott had
Ellen M. Bailey before him on the
charge of embezzlement. Ellen is a
colored damsel from Burlington and
she pleaded guilty to the crime pre-
ferred against her. In talking over
the situation Ellen got very impudent
and Judge Lippincott showed excellent
self-control when he allowed the wo-
man to say things that were contemp-
tible and which entitled her to severe
punishment. In one instance the
Judge reminded the woman he could
send her to the state prison for her Of
fence, to which the defendant replied:
"Well, you're the Judge" Notwith-
standing all the contempt displayed
the court was very lenient and laid the
case over for a few days with the hope
OF being able to get the woman into a
reformat DRY rather than send her to
the state prison.

Woods Memorial School

! The annual exhibition and enter
tainment of the Woods Memorial Do
nestle Sciences School, Florence, was
held in Library Hall last week. Par
ents and relatives of the students,
members of the Board of Education
and all the public school teachers were
in attendance. For the past 40 years
these closing exercises have always
created considerable interest as the

great rivalry among the little folks.

iron foundries, started the school and
built Library Hall to benefit the child
rem of the earliest residents OF Florence.
The benevolent woman upon her death

the work of her mother. She has al
ways been faithful attendant at the
annual exhibition with the exception
of this year, when she was detained at
her Philadelphia home by illness.
Without one cent of maintenance
from the township, the children of this
place have received all the benefits of
a domestic sciences course The Board
of Education and the school teachers
have co-operated in this work, and
allowed the pupils to leave their classes
early in order to learn the rudiments
of sewing and cooking taught by Miss
Marion Parks, of Amherst, Mass.
During the afternoon of the exer-
cises the pupils of the sixth and sew
enth grades prepared the banquet
which is served annually to the judges
and Miss Julia Wood, who is always
the guest of honor. Mrs. d. E. Max
field, Mrs. 7. Percy Baker and Mrs. C.
Edgar Bisbing were judges.
The entertainment was given in the
evening and consisted of talks and
demonstrations given by the pupils.
A talk on sewing was given by Elsie
Culton; Clara Holmes gave a discus
sion on food values; Lille :Emmons
demonstrated bread-making; table
etiquette was the title of talk given
by Miss Gladys Weiland; Reta Ham,
ilton and Eva Ford gave demonstra-
tions Of beverage making and baking
powder, respectively.

Base Rail.

1t is hardly safe to predict the sort of
game of base ball that will be PLAYED
at Mount Holly. The contest with
Shamrock, Of Burlington, was expected
to be close and exciting one, but it
proved to be one-sided affair in which
the visiting team was successful in
escaping a shutout because Mount
Holly became careless. Emerson. of
Camden, was announced as strong ag-
gregation, but before our bows got
through with their opponents there
was nothing left to crow over. Emer-
son, last year, was very strong team.
1t was either weak on Wednesday or
Mount Holly is playing fast ball. The
general opinion is that the latter is the
case. Emerson got but one run in the
entire game Then the first baseman
of the visiting team sent beauty out
to right field and it got lost in the rye
and before the ball could be recovered
the runner had gone the entire route.
Mount Holly made ten runs. The
score:

were slight, but his mother and wife
tainted at the spectacle.

of putting out the plants. They forced
him into their vehicle. While passing
the cooperative store the cries Of theil
prisoner brought group of fellow

Mount Holly's nine is working nice.
ly together and some fast plays have
been made. The boys seem to have
better batting eyes than they had last
year.
Eddie Williams has put team in
the field under the name of Riverton.
Palmyra or the other way about, but it
does not make much difference. The
big league season has not yet been
closed SO Eddie is not able to draft the
professionals into service. His team
has played 4 games thus far, losing all.
Mount Holly did great team work on
Saturday. Personal averages were for.
gotten and each man played to win
the game.
The squeeze play" was worked tc
perfection Saturday. Forbes was on
third base and started for home before
the ball left the pitchers hand. Nc
Cue dropped bunt and Forbes reached
home before the ball could be flelded.
Shemelia got his eye straight. He
had two hits and accepted six good
chances without an error.
Dick Leonard was on second base
for Riverside. Dick was one of Mount
Holly's stars in 1897.
Mount Holly will go to Florence on
Saturday and there must not be any
surprise if defeat is recorded.
The Tigers, will play game of base
ball on the High street ground, Satur.
day, with the Burlington F. G.

An Ounce of Prevention

With the opening Of the camp in the
neighborhood of Wrightstown there
will undoubtedly be new enterprises and
business projects as there will be de-
mand for more supplies than can be
furnished at the present time. Prose-
cutor Kelsey is taking steps to see that
law and order shall be maintained in
this county. He has appointments
with Governor Edge and the Adiutant-
General in order that he may ascer-
tain just how far he will be expected to
go to aid in the movement for
maintaining order.
OF one thing he is certain and that is
that he can keep an eye on all places
that may conducs to the injury Of the
community. He advises every prop
erty owner to carefully examine into
the character of the person who applies
for lease or who wants to buy, and
discover what the character of the APP
plicant is and what his record has been
in the neighborhoods where he has re-
sided. Be sure and not allow any
clause in lease that will permit SUBJ
letting property. In making a lease
have 1t drawn SO that there will not be
the slightest chance for the property
being used for any purpose other than
that which it is represented to be want
ed for.
In case of disorder of any kind,
where there are violations of the law,
great or small communicate with Pros
ecutor Kelsey at once. He will act.
There has been much discussion
about the regulations with reference to
the sale Of liquor within certain dis
lance of the camp. The only thing
that seems to be absolutely certain is
that liquor cannot be sold to man in
the uniform Of the United States. The
liquor dealers in the vicinity of the
camp are going to have conference
this week and 60 over the situation.
The majority of them have already
agreed that the safe thing to do is to
sell over the bar only and by the single |
drink. The dispensing by bottles to
be taken from the premises or even to |
be consumed in the hotel will probably |
be abolished entirely.

Memorial TO John w. Bodine

N1ClllOl idl " JOun W. DOQluC
At the Manual Training and High
School, Camden, on Tuesday, the Me-
mortal Day program was rendered at
the opening Of the school in the morn
ing, in the auditorium, and was of a
very impressive character, being dedi-
Gated to the memory of Veteran John
w. Bodine, the first number being a
tribute paid to the departed comrade
by Philip Souder, of the class of 10, in
which he said:
1.-THE program this mornings offered
as a memorial to the soldiers who
fought and died in the Civil War.
For a great number of years we
have had among our distinguished
veteran guests Mr.. Bodine. This year,
shortly after his visit to us on Lincoln
Birthday, he died, and his soldierly
figure and kindly face is missed today
from its accustomed place.
'Mr. Bodins entered the Civil War
at the age of II, with the Third New
Jersey Volunteers. He fought through
the entire war, though he was seriously
wounded three times. He took part
in many OF the most important en-
gagements, fighting at Chancellors-
vile, Antietam, Gettysburg, Bull Run
and in the battle of the Wilderness.
He came out of the war With the rank
of first sergeant and since that time
rose to the rank of colonel of the Vet.
eran Association.
1t seems fitting, therefore, this morn
ing, that in honor of his distinguished
service this program should be particu
larlV dedicated as an affectionate me
mort al to the memory Of Mr.. Johr
Wesley Bodine."
