Mrs. Amanda Clark made a short visit last Sunday to her mother and sister, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. J. D. Rose, returning to her home at New Gretna on Monday. What a delight a good wholesale slander is to the impure, unregenerated soul.

The mind, ever on the alert for the filth that oozes from the depraved, immoral soul, whose only thoughts run in chan-

nels created for sewers to drain the morally healthy portion of the community, and when caught, select the brightest and best in society to throw it at, should be, to say the least, utterly tabbooed in decent society, til he is brought to see himself as others see him.

Such people, to set themselves up for better people to pattern after! Such people to walk upon the other side, cross themselves, and think, "I am holier than thou." Out upon such hypocrites!

About the Custody of a Child.

An unusual state of facts was divulged in the argument Thursday in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania of the case of the Commonwealth ex-relatione Charles H. Sage against Hattie Sage, appellant, an appeal from the Court of Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia. The parties were husband and wife, and they formerly lived in Atlantic City. Mrs. Sage alleged that her husband treated her cruelly, endangering her life and that of their nine-year-old daughter, Joyce Sage. She also averred that her husband neglected them both, and that she was forced to abandon her home and seek protection with her relatives in New Jersey and in Pennsylvania. She further averred that the husband pursued her and endeavored to force her to come back and live with him, and failing in that instituted habeas corpus proceedings in the Quarter Sessions Court of Philadelphia to obtain possession of the child.

On the other hand the husband made sundry claims against the wife, and averred that he had instituted proceed-

ings to recover possession of the child in New Jersey, and that in order to es-

cape service of the write, etc., the wife had fled to Pennsylvania; that the hus-

band had followed her there, and as soon as he ascertained her whereabouts instituted proceedings to recover the child, supposing that to be the proper course to pursue. Judge Reed ordered that the child be removed to the State of New Jersey, where the other proceedings were pend-

ing, but upon the failure of the wife and her uncle to take the child into the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Court,

issued attachment proceedings against the two, and held them both under bail to carry out the order of the Court.

The proceedings finally terminated in awarding the possession of the child to the father.

The present appeal was taken by the wife. She averred that the proceedings in the lower court were irregular and

illegal; that Judge Reed had allowed the writ of habeas corpus, but had withheld a full hearing of the case; that he had subjected the mother and her uncle to the pains of imprisonment;

that his order for the removal of the child to the State of New Jersey was illegal; that the action was taken without consulting the wishes of the child, who wished to remain with the mother, and that the petition for the habeas corpus was filed by a non-resident of that State, unsupported by proper jurat.

On the other hand, counsel for the husband raised the question that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction in treating such cases as the present, and that the proceedings were regular, and

were proper as ancillary to the proceed-

ings pending in the court of this State.

The Court reserved its decision.

It will be remembered that Sage, who was then a resident of Atlantic City, at-

tacked his wife last April with a razor and in the melee the woman received a number of ugly cuts about the face.

Ladies' Aid Sociable.

The sociable given by the Ladies' Aid Society at the residence of Ira S. Champion on Thursday evening last was well attended and the programme one of un-

usual excellence. The exercises were opened with congregational singing and

prayer, Rev. W. A. Massey invoking the blessing. Miss Ella Jeffries acquitted herself with credit as a vocalist, appearing in a solo. Victor Fisher gave an excellent recitation. A new feature in the instrumental portion of the programme was a banjo duet by W. E.

Massey and Harvey Lake, which was well received as the hearty applause

attested. Benjamin Champion followed with a recitation, and his delivery spoke of careful preparation. Miss Jennie Massey rendered a delightful vocal solo. Hunter Thomas recited in his usual en-

tertaining style. Frank E. Champion, who has gained quite a reputation as a violinist, rendered a solo on that instru-

ment. Miss Bella Hand closed the musical and literary portion of the entertainment with a recitation. Refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening spent in a social way.

Chosen Freeholders Meet. The regular bi-monthly meeting of the County Board of Freeholders took place at Cape May Court House Thursday, Director William Lake in the chair. Hon. L. M. Rice, of the committee on repairs to pipe bridge at West Creek, reported the work completed at a total cost of $2042.52, one-half to be paid by Cumberland county. The Board went into secret session for the election of an alms house steward. There were eight applicants, and Ellis A. Mixner, the present steward, was reelected on the third ballot, at a salary of $450 per annum. William T. Bate, chairman of the special committee on new jail, presented the following:

"We would recommend a building 24x64 feet, of stone and brick, with concrete floors, and steel cells of the latest improved pattern, in which to confine prisoners, the structure to be as near fire-proof as possible and heated with steam, the same plant to heat all county buildings. "The cost of this we estimated at $10,000. "We would recommend a keeper's building of brick and stone, 16x40 feet, with front 16x24, as shown on accompanying plans, to cost about $3500. "We believe that it would be to the interest of the county to utilize material from old jail in the construction of the new one, and to dispose of present dwelling to best possible advantage. "We recomend that the whole structure be fitted up with the best system of ventilation and drainage that can be found; the sewer pipes to drain into Crooked Creek above the residence of Freeholder Garretson. "We believe, after getting the opinion of several contractors, that the whole plan could be carried out and completed for the sum of $14,500. "WM. T. BATE, "SAM'L E. EWING, "T. W. GARRETSON."

The report was accepted and the committee continued.

On resolution of Mr. Rice, the committee on election bills was abolished and the committee on general bills di-

rected hereafter to meet the day before the Board meets; all bills not presented to them on that day to lie over until next meeting. A resolution expressing the congratulations of the Board to its solicitor,

Morgan Hand, Esq., upon the event of his recent marriage, was unanimously adopted, and the Board adjourned.

A Child's Bitter Grief. A sad case which brought tears to the eyes of the spectators was presented in

the Supreme Court at Camden Satur-

day. It was a habeas corpus case in which Mamie Wilson brought suit to recover possession of her 5-year-old

daughter who was held by Mr. and Mrs. William Feeston of Atlantic City.

The complainant alleged that when the child was a wee tot Mrs. Feeston was given control of it and now that she is able to support it the family refused to surrender her daughter.

The child is five years old and has been with the Feeston family since it was five months old. The woman al-

leged it was withheld from her because she could not pay its back board.

Mr. Feeston said that his family was greatly attached to the little girl and it

would break the heart of his wife to part with her. He knew he had no le-

gal right to retain possession of her, but he did not think the mother could give her as good a home as she had. He said that the amount of money due was not considered.

The little girl cried "Mamma, oh mama, don't let them take me from you." She then clung about the neck of Mrs. Feeston, who hugged her closely as the scalding tears trickled down her cheeks.

Judge Garrison was powerless and could do nothing but decide in favor of the mother. Mr. Feeston unloosed the child from the embrace of his wife and

as the tears rolled down his cheeks he led the little one over to its mother.

She grasped the little hand and left the room with the little girl screaming for her foster mother, while Mrs. Feeston hid her face in her hands and wept.

Judge Garrison was overcome and left the court room remarking, "I don't want to see that poor woman weep-

ing."

Building Association Officers. The annual election of officers for the Ocean City Building and Loan Associa-

tion, which was held on Saturday evening last, resulted in the choice of the following gentlemen: Secretary, Wil-

liam Lake; treasurer, R. Howard Thorn; directors, S. B. Sampson, S. B. Miller,

John Brower, Godfrey Ang, George O. Adams and E. A. Bourgeois.

As the contest for president of the as-

sociation resulted in a tie between G. P. Moore, the present incumbent, and G. O. Adams, the election for this office was made a special order for the Febru-

ary meeting. The secretary's report shows the association to be in a sound financial condi-

tion.

All the members were present at last Friday night's meeting.
