Sarah n Chambers and her husband resided in " a home of their own distant from the- u residence of the defendant and aaw the 1' latter but occasionally. The attorney fl who prepared tbe deed was in no sense h( the attorney of Emma Chambers or ri e her husband, and prepared the deed B e and had it executed solely at the re- S1 nnmtinH nnA» tha _ a o L ,, quest and direction of

If undue influence existed or was exer0 cised it is not apparent from the evidence. 8 "As to tbe mental capacity of Mrs. r Sarah Chambers, it iB manifest that at times her mind was far from normal. She was undoubtedly subject to acute attacks which temporarily incapacitated her for intelligent mental action. But tbe evidence fully satisfies me ' th»t at other times, her mind was not 1 impaired to an extent to deprive her of her power to fully understand and appreciate the force of tne transaction J which is here challenged. "It was her privilege to present the property to her I son. if she desired to • dojio. providing there was a voluntary und.intelligent act,".

' _ A (• (• f" Despite the fact that the recent & nt. lubl we recent

fight at the primaries for supremacy in the Republican party, throughout the state, was bitter and stubbornlycontested, it would seem, to quote tbe late Congressman Randall, "theftwo wings will flap together" and work in harmony for the success of the Republican ticket at the general election. The news comes from ^renton that ' the Republican leaders of the state , have been making a careful canvass of all the counties during the past few days with the result that they now feel . confident that the party will be victor- , ious at the November election, when 8 senators, assemblymen and county officers are to be elected. These preh dictions of Republican success at the g polls are based largely upon the fact j that the party is being harmonized in r all parts of the state, and that even in I North Jersey, where the "new idea'" g or so-called reform faction has been c strongest, there is every reason to bej 'ieve that the regular organization tickets will be well supported at the polls. In fact, it is confidently predicted by the "new idea" leaders in ( North Jersey that their followers will f stand loyally oy the Republican ticket ' ; and that tbe result will be an unusually heavy poll for the regular Republican ticket in November. The same condition of affairs exists in South Jer- 1 1 In all the counties tbe defeated 1 candidate take their defeat philosophi- 1 cally and have declared their intention 1 of loyally supporting the regular Reui lujuny supporting we regular Ke-

Y' publican ticket This being the case it would seem to leave no question nd about the complexion of the legislature when a successor to United States i a Senator John Kean is to be elceted. ty The state senators elected this year ] will have a vote in .that election and] on that account every effort will be . made to send Republicans to tbe senate i and pave tbe way for the election of ' as many Republicans as possible to the t- nsxt house of assembly. —Five Mile) ie Beach Sun. r (• <"• S l8 Atlantic City resents the appointjr ment of a Newark man as Prosecutor's te detective, an office that pay a $1500 a { A year.

THE NEW JERSEY SYNOD The New Jereey Synod of the Presbyterian Church cflhvened in Atlantic I City on Monday evening with an attendance of about two hundred ministers and elders from all parts of the State. Rev) Rudolph O. Kuebler, D. D., of Hackensack, was elected moderator. All its sessions were marked by unusual interest The leading issue of its proceedings were on the presentation for adoption the General Assembly's plan "of a commission ot twelve of its membsra to formulate c iweive OI ICS members to formulate IPDCPv

Id M<1 Ute ®Pecial charge of the principal ( business of the Synod. The most lively and able discussion for inanv years for ^ its adoption or rejection was continued [e through nearly all the sessions, and , was finely rejected by r majoriy of ~ thirty votes. „ The range of discussion was wide, the majority contending that it tended j to centralization of power which the g Presbyterian Church has always here- ^ tofore opposed in spirit' and practice. And (another contention was that puttin* the business and power in the , hands of a few would take 'away the n interest and attendance of the great r majority of the members of Synod. It t was fairly conceded that if we must j have bossism in politics, it should he s kept out of the church, which is diffi- ^ cult enough proposition as things now are trending, without giving their seal , and sanction to the creation of a commission of a dozen men with such ' carte blanche plenary powers of authority of supervision .and complete ' control. The representatives of Cape J May, Revs. McLeod and Landis, and ' Elder Mecray, as we should expect 1 of them voted in the true democratic spirit against the plan. Later permission was given to reconsider the paper and it was recommitted to the committee to be taken up next year. The Synod passed strong- resolutions of sympathy with and any proffered aid possible to the clergymen of Atniu possiuie io me clergymen of At-
