The value of a neighborhood's opinion of a man depends, after all, on what sort of neighborhood it is and what kind of neighbors he has. Mrs. Ida M.

A Friendly Visit.

A large number of friends and ac-

quaintances paid a friendly call upon Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bennett, corner Eighth street and Asbury avenue, on Wednesday. Mrs. Bennett, who has been an invalid for a long time, has en-

deared herself to all with whom she came in contact by her many neighborly acts of kindness, and it was to show that although the hand of affliction had

been laid heavily upon her yet she was not forgotten by her neighbors. As the noon hour approached the ladies of the company assisted in preparing a most enjoyable dinner, which was partaken of by all present. This act of thought-

fulness will become a cherished memory and help to lighten the sufferings and deprivations of the aged sufferer.

The Cape May County Murder. At the hearing Wednesday of last week at Cape May Court House, Richard Pierce, who stands charged with having murdered his wife, near Goshen, on the 19th ult., Prosecutor Jonas Miller brought out considerable testimony, in additional to that adduced at the inquest, some of which was very damaging to the defendant. One witness testified to seeing Pierce slash his wife's dress with a razor a few days previous to the murder, and that Pierce subsequently told him he tried to cut her intestines out. P. T. Hildreth has been appointed to defend the accused.

mates given. B. R. Smith & Sons, 1046 Asbury avenue.

This makes the fourth ticket in the field to be voted on March 13th. The Democrats of this city are in a quandary over the breaks in the city ticket headed by William Riddle for Mayor. For some unexplained cause several of the candidates have positively declined to run. Stewart R.

Determined to Die.

John Harker left his home at 105 North Georgia avenue, Atlantic City, Sunday with the declaration that he meant to kill himself. He is now either wandering through the lonely pine woods of Atlantic county or a suicide.

Harker had a dispute with his wife and son Raymond in the morning, and started away in a towering rage. He was last seen at the cemetery on the outskirts of Pleasantville by an Atlantic City acquaintance named John Giberson, to whom he reiterated his deter-

mination of ending his life. Giberson endeavored to bring him home, but failed.

When Harker reached Brigantine Junction, ten miles from Atlantic City, he telegraphed his son that "it will soon be over" and to say "good-bye" to his mother. Nothing has been heard from him since. Harker is of medium height, weighs 170 pounds, dresses well and is about 47 years of age. He is industrious and is generally respected. It is said he has been suffering from an incurable disease for the past two years and that he became melancholy and eccentric in consequence.

Later reports state that Harker was found in the woods in a half starved condition near Egg Harbor City by Marshal Senft, of that town. He had walked the entire distance, about twenty miles.
