Physicians report great decrease in
the number of cases of influenza here.
and the Indications are that the epi-
demic Is over. Assessor Mason received
last week reports of two deaths from
influenza and five from pneumonia.
Some of these deaths had occurred the
week before. The late cases of infiu
enza are much less severe than former
ly. It is probable that the quarantine
of public places in Mount Holly will
be lifted on Thursday or Friday. The
quarantine at Camp Dix was removed
yesterday afternoon at one o'clock.
The reopening of the schools of New
Jersey will not depend upon the lift
ing of the quarantine by the State
Board of Health, but upon the con-
ditions existing in the various muni-
cipalities. This statement was made
on Thursday by State Commissioner OF
Education Kendall. The erroneous
impression had been gained that No
vember had been fixed for reopening /
of the schools. 1t is entirely matter
for the municipalities to decide, tho
commissioner said. 1t is expected that
the Mount Holly schools will reopen
next Monday.

der and Helen Roebling Tyson, both |
of Philadelphia. The will was admit
ted to probate at Trenton on Thursday.
1t is estimated that the estate is worth
about $50, 100000, but because of its
scattered nature it is impossible to
make an accurate estimate, His two
daughters and nephew, Ferdinand
w. Roebling, Jr., are named as execu-
tors and trustees. The two sons-in-
law are to receive $40, 900 each and an
other $4,000 is to be equally DIVIDED
among the servants of the Roebling
household. Provision has been made
that all stock in the John A. Roebling
Sons Company shall go to only make
lineal descendants. Female heirs will
be given equal money value.
In THE News Of recent date there
was an advertisement of the telephone
company suggesting that subscribers
use some discretion in making calls
and that they do not use the line to
discuss dressmaking proposition or to
talk unnecessarily long. This is a
good idea but it would seem to be up
to the company TO make some regula-
tions which would meet just such
points. A few days since an attempt
was made to get in on party line and
the reply came Zine busy" Just one
hour was consumed before the line was
reported ready for the caller who had
patiently waited for the cali. In re-
sponse to suggestion that a word
might be dropped that would give
somebody else chance, central's re.
