The New Jersey SenatOrship.
MR.. M'ADoO THINKS GOV. ALBEIT WILL SUCCEED MF

Representative McAGOo Of New Jersey. in con-
yerSation with STAR reporter to-day, said he
had no doubt that the democrats have a majority
in the legislature and will elect the Senator.
'The difficulty with the democrats he continued,
''is that the state is shamefully gerrymandered
in favor OF the republicans. The state senate is
an outrage under the constitution. The old idea
of territorial representation prevails. A county
with 100, 600 population has the same representa-
ton as one with two millions. Each sends senator.
The sand-hill counties are republican and are
controlled by the railroads entirely. When was
member OF the assembly got through bill to
submit a constitutional amendment to change the
representation to accord with modern ideas, but
the senate would not pass it, AS the republicans
continue in control Of the senate they will not
vote to destroy their power Oh, the system Is
shamefu! and If the democrats could get control
OF both houses OF the legislature they could tear
it up"
Mr.. McAdOO thinks that Gen. Albeit will be sent
to the senate as Gen. SeMeli'S SucceSSOr

SOME MISCREANT TURNS OFF THE WATER FROM A
BOILER-DIsCOvERED JUST IN TINE.
telegram from Lowell, Mass, December 2,
says: What was undoubtedly most dastardly at
tempt on the part OF some unknown person to re-
venge himself for petty spite by endangering
the lives OF innocent school children was dis
covered to-day. John COchrane, the janitOr
OF the Weed street primary school building, found
that there was not drop OF water in the boilers
connected with The steam heating apparatus. He
at once turned on the water and none too sOOn for
the fire under The boiler had been left burning
throughout The night. Investigation showed that
some person or persons had effected an entrance
to the building during the night by breaking a
window leading TO the basement, and had then
opened the faucet OF the exhaust pipe of the
boiler, so that all the water ran out into the
sewer.
Had not the janitOr chanced to look at his steam
gauge just when he did it would have only been
the question OF a lew moments before the school,
house and its occupants would have been blown to
atoms 1t was near the hour for opening the
school, the scholars were beginning to arrive and
the catastrophe would undoubtedly have been at
tended by terrible list OF fatalities, there being
over one hundred young children Of both sexes in
attendance. IL Is thought that 1t was the work OF
some one who felt aggrleved because Mf. COchrane
had been given the authorship OF the school,
house, which was made ready for occupancy only
about fortnight ago.

To Kill the Cooling Moth.
HOW APPLE RAIsERs CAN GREATLY INCREASE THE

VALUE OF THEIR CROP.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-A Ne,cs special from Spring.
field ILL.,, says: The state entOmologist, Prof s. A
Forbes says i'm bulletin just issued. that elabOr-
ate experiments made in the apple orchards with
arSenical poSOns show that an average OF at least
20 per cent OF the apples now destroyed or injured
by the codling moth may be saved to rfpening by
one or two sprayings with Paris green made IN
early spring, while the fruit is not larger than a
haZelnut. Taking one year with another the
codling moth Is found to fnfeSt about one-half OF
the apples which set on the trees and making all
reasonable allowance 1t is estimated that the gen.
eral use OF the spraying method must effect saw
ing to the state In the Increased value OF the apple
crop OF at least 81, 800 900 annually The cost Of
the application would be practically nothing, as
the benefit to the trees and the crop resulting
from the destruction OF curculos, canker worms
and other miner leaf and fruit insects, must more
than return the small expense OF spraying. Obser-
vationS and analysis have shown that there is not
the slightest danger to the consumer OF the fruit
from poisoning the trees thus early in the season
when the apples are very small and before they
have turned downward on their stems. The ex-
pertments show, however, that late poisoning Is
dangerous, and, furthermore, is without eject
upon the cOdling moth.

Trouble for n school Board.
A FATHER REFUSES TO HAVE HIS CHILDREN VAC


CINATED.
At New Brunswick, Nj, Isaac Bartle has ere
ated a furor by obtaining writ OF mandamus to
compel the board OF education to allow his boys
to attend the public schools. The board made a
rule that all pupils in the school must be refused
admittance unless vaccinated. Bartle is opposed
to vaccination and refused to have the operations
performed on his children. He issues the writ to
test the legality OF the rule The meeting OF the
board at which 1t was served with this writ was
particularly lively one, since Bartle has another
quarrel over a son who was suspended from school
for bad conduct. The law forbids teachers to fog
scholars, and their only resource when the chill
dren are ''bad" is to suspend them. Bartle pro-
tested that the suspension OF his boy was Illegal,
and an examination showed that the youth had
posted himself on the spanking question and knew
that If he was naughty the only effect would be
vacation. AS he detests study and did not wish to
attend school, he misbehayed himself in order to
get suspended. Besides this, the board is engag-
ing In personal quarrel between two members,
one Of whom charges the other with making sales
to the board through one OF his relatives by which
he makes a neat little profit.
