HIGH LICENSE,
It Will Go Into Effect in New Jersey
 On May 1.

The new law will go into effect on the 1st of May. After that date the lowest fee for which license can be granted in a town of not more than 3, 900 inhabitants will be $1GO year; in town of from {, ,000 to 10, 900 inhabitants, $15O, and in towns of more than 900 inhabitants, $250 There is no change in the manner of granting licenses, nor any maximum limit of the fee which may be charged.
 The second and most serious section of the new law provides that if a holder of license sells on Sunday, or to minor or harbors drunken persons, thieves, gamblers or prosti- tutes. or allows gambling or unlawful games of chance on his premises, or violates any State Excise law his license shall become void, and upon sworn complaint of three residents of the town being presented at any time to any Judge of the county Court of Common Pleas, or to the Circuit Judge, thero shall be endorsed up- on the complaint by the Judge all order to the alleged offender to show cause at the next sit- ting of the court but in not less than five days, why his license should not be declared forfeited and revoked. Court may be convened at any time to hear such complaints and the hearing shall be in summary way. If the Court finds the defendant guilty the Judgment shall be the revoking of the license, and the person whose license is revoked shall be disqualified for ono year from receiving any license in the State. If person shall be found guilty 8 second time he shall forever be disqualified from receiving license. The costs of the hearing are to be paid by the defendant if he is found guilty, or by the complainant if the complaint is not sustained.

 be license in the county, the Judge shall order
 such an election, the result of which shall be
 binding in the county until changed by sim
 liar election, which cannot be had in less than three years after the first.
 | The provisions of the law as to notice of ap- plioation and election, and separation of h- | cense election from any other, arc such that it will probably be practically impossible to have an election under it in any county before | some time next winter.
 | There is no way, lawyers say, in which the | operation of the license sections of the law can
 be suspended or avoided after May 1. Appeals
 may be taken to higher courts, on constitu- | tonal or other grounds, but while they are pending the law will be in full force, and deal
 CTS must obey it or lose their licenses.

Babies for Crocodile Bait.

"Babies wanted for crocodile bait. Will be returned alive"
 If newspapers abounded in Ceylon as much as crocodiles do, advertisements worded like the foregoing would be com mon in their want columns. AS 1t is, the English crocodile hunter has to secure his baby by personal solicitation. He is often successful, for Ceylon parents, as a rule, have unbounded confidence in the hunters, and will rent their babies out to be used as crocodile bait for a small consideration.
 Ceylon crocodile's suffer greatly from ennui. They prefer to lie quite still, soothed by the sums glittering rays, and while away their lazy lives in medita- tion. But when a dark brown infant with curling toes sits on bank and blinks it's eyes at them, they throw off their cloak of laziness and make their preparations for delicate morsel of Ceylonese baby humanity. When the crocodile gets about half way up the bank, the hunter, concealed behind some reeds, opens up fire, and the hun gry crocodile has his appetite and his life taken away at the same time. The sportsman secures the skin and head of the crocodile and the rest Of the car cass the natives make use of.
 This way of securing 'crocodiles might be objected to by American mothers. The American infant imagination might be shattered by the devouring gaze of healthy saurian who hasn't had his dinner; but we are creditably informed by certain English crocodile hunters that the average Ceylon infant displays passive indifference to his advances, and that the only thing that frightens him is the report of the gun.-PaU Maz l Gazette.
