sentsd to the court. We have both of
these systems working in Mount Holly.
Samuel K. Gaskill is doing his part in
rounding up the trusnts and their pa
rents, and when they get before Judge
Llppincott he gives all concerned good
advice and q chance to do what is
right. If his leniency is abused he
tries something more to the point.
Word has been received Of the mar
riage of Miss Helen Ridgly Morris,
daughter of the late Anthony Morris,
and Captain Henry Lyndon. Mcmillan,
son Of Professor Charles Mcmillan, of
the Princeton University faculty. The
marriage took place December at the
Church of the Ascension, in Philadel-
phia, and the ceremony was performed
by the Rev. DR.. Ct. Woolssy Hodge.
Captain Mcmillan is attached to the
Engineer Corps, U. s. R., and is STA
TONED at Camp Dix, Wrightstown.
He was graduated from Princeton Uni
versity in 1894, and for several years
previous to his entrance into the mill
tary service was a consulting engineer
in Philadelphia.
Different persons have different
views; it would not be well for all to
think alike. In recent trial in our
courts testimony was offered to prove
some measurements and counsel for
defendant objected on the ground that
the person who made the measure
ments got his clue from another party.
The testimony was ruled out. In the
murder trial last week there was a
map in evidence and it was testified
that the man who did the surveying
and measuring not only got his infor.
nation from an outside party but
from person who had been arrested
for connection with the murder. The
map was allowed TO be shown to the
Jury and was used for describing the
different points Of interest.

The family Of Charles E. Rogers, of
Washington street, were accidentally
poisoned in peculiar manner one
day last week, and serious results were
averted only by the work of a physi
clan. A belladonna plaster had been
placed in the warming oven of the
kitchen range, and it became dislodged
in some manner and dropped unseen
into pot of tea. Soon after drinking
several cups of the beverage Mr..
Rogers was taken Ill and investigation
showed the remains of the plaster in
the bottom Of the tea pot. Mrs.
Rogers and her daughter had drunk
but little Of the tea, and the effect of
the poison was not so severe in their
cases.
