Gent public has melted into thin air
in the presence of the truth.
Some of the frauds were demo-
cratic, some republican Some were
ingenious, some stupid. Some were in
the ballots, some in the count, some
in the registration. There was no
plan, purpose, or consistency about
them. They were just the sort of
laundering efforts at fraud that a set
of ignorant. underpaid, INSCRIPTIONS
hoodlums might commit. under the
mistaken notion that they were cur
rying favor with their leaders.
That is all there is of the ballot
frauds. They leave the Democracy of
Hudson, as q body, just where it was
before, and prove conclusively that
the place for reform is in the appoint
ment of the men who are to guard the
polls. Good election officers make
clean elections, and stupid heelers
create corruption and crime.
The lesson is especially important
in view of the announcement made
by City Clerk Scott today that the
same rascals may perchance serve in
April.
Surely the Legislature will step in
and save us from this browning out
rage.

And Then She Was Ready TO Charge Her
Boarder With Assault.
Mrs. Caroline Heinmann, of No. 80 Ia
briskie street, caused the arrest of
Frederick Holzfuss. twenty-nine years
old, who is employed by the
Erie Railroad Company as a painter, a
few days ago. She accuses him of hay
ing indecently assaulted her on January
20. during the absence of her husband
and children from the house.
She told Judge Wanser that on the day
in question Holzfdss, who was a boarder
at the house. seized her in his arms and
carried her from the kitchen through two
rooms TO a sleeping apartment.
The only person in the house beside
themselves at the time was a sick board
er. She further alleged that on February
3 Holzfuss again assaulted her. She did
not tell her husband about it for more
than a week, because the painter owed
her u board bill of $21.22.
She said she did not want to have him
arrested until she got the money, and
that vas why she delayed so long in
making the complaint.
The accused painter admitted that he
had been intimate with the woman, but
declared she was as guilty as himself.
The examination will be ended Tuesday.

Bayonne Wants Judge Knapp to Fix the
Line.
Colonel Charles w. Fuller applied to
Justice Knapp in the Chancellor's Cham
bers this morning for the appointment of
q commission to determine the boundary
line between Jersey City and Bayonne.
The Legislature of last year passed Il
law providing for the appointment of
such a commission to consist Of three
members-one from Bayonne, one from
Jersey City and one from some other part
of the county. The Common Council of
Bayonne some time ago passed q resolu-
ton asking for the commission. and
Colonel Fuller served upon Mayor Cleve-
land the notice required by the law.
Judge Knapp did not think that was
sufficient and suggested hat the matter
should be brought before the court on
a petition setting forth the facts. The
matter then went over to next Saturday
in order that the suggestion of the judge
might be carried out.

M
The News" and the Ballot Frauds.
. And 1t is a genuine discovery for The
NEWS, which up to this time has contented itself
by ignoring or apologizIng for the villainous
condition Of affairs in Hudson county. No thick
headed aman need despair when an idea or a
fact succeeds in forcing an entrance into the
head of the editor OF The JERSEY CRY NEws.-
Trenton Times.
We had almost made up iii minds
to take no more notice of poor old
Hebetudinous, .(by request), but this
little ebullition Of his moves us to de-
fine ones again our position respect
ing the Hudson county election
abuses, lest there should be other
people as stupid as Heb. and about
whose misconceptions we should be
more disturbed.
Our position is. and has been that
of all good Democrats and intelligent
observers. We declined at all times
to assume anything. We maintained
an attitude OF impartiality until there
was evidence to go upon, and then we
formed opinions upon the ascertained
facts.
We know that this course was he
retical from the latter day newspaper
point of view. The plan of the New
ark Eoening Netos, for instance,
might be formulated thus - First
make up your mind, then select your
facts to fit your theory. 1t is the
same plan that so many papers
adopted in dealing with the Kniffn
murder.
But now we have facts to go upon,
and we have no hesitation in saying
that the Senate enquiry has revealed
not only gross abuses, but outrageous
frauds in the recent election. We
hold that these should be punished
with the utmost rigor Of the law, and
we stand ready to give our utmost
efforts to accomplish that end.
How far the fraud extends we are
not yet prepared to make up our
minds. That nearly half of all the
election officers in the city we're
tainted with it, appears a sad GER
tainty. There is also reason to fear
that some in higher places have a
lamentable responsibility for it. The
PAINS at which Mayor Cleveland and
his creatures of the city government
have been to, reward and shelter
the guilty men, makes it hard to be-
lieve that they had not a hand in the
wickedness of last November, and
that they are not plotting similar vii
lianies to be done by the same men in
April, when Mr. Cleveland has "a des-
perate hope of being a candidate for
office.
But one thing is clearly proven to
the confusion of the Trenton Times,
the Newark E0ensng News and other
similar papers. and that is that the
frauds, even though numerous, were
sporadic. The big conspiracy hum

sanely tried to thrust on an intelli-

A Chicago MAJ has invented a
bottle stopper to be used exclusively
for poisons. The superiority over the
old-fashioned article lies in the con-
struction of the stopper. The pro-
lection which enters the neck Of the
bottle is ground glass with a small
hole in one side, through which pro-
trudes u little rod or trigger. The top
of the stopper is covered with a small
bell enclosing cog wheels. which are
so arranged that when the stopper is
removed the bell will ring. When it
is laid down it rings again, and when
returned to its place in the bottle it
again sounds an alarm. The mechan-
ism is so arranged that it is absolute
ly impossible to remove IL replace the
stopper without first ringing the bell,
thus making it impossible for a drug
gist, if he is careful in the filling of his
bottles, to deal out poison in the place
OF harmless drugs without receiving a
warning as to the dangerous nature
Of the preparation.-Chicdg Neacs.

HE WAS A PRETTY GIRL.
A Nice Little Story of a Picture in
the French Salon.

There is a fine painting in the draw
ing room of Mrs. John b. Henderson,
the wife of the ex-senator from Mis-
souri,, and the present head of the
American delegation to the Interna-
tional American Conference, that has
a bit of a story connected with it. 1t
represents a small boy on his way to
school, stopping before a wall gaudy
with illustrations of a coming menag-
erie. Right under his eyes is a stern
bulletin of the provisional govern
ment of France, but he looks beyond
and sees only the painted elephant
and CRATES. His book strap hangs
loose, he has pushed back his cap
from his blond curls, and stands with
mouth open and hands stuffed in his
pockets. In n corner is the authors
name. "Achille- Fould.n Mrs. Hen
derson saw the painting at the Paris
Salon and at once negotiated for it's
purchase.
An elderly lady came to her, and
said that she was authorized by the
artist to make the preliminary con-
tract. She named the sum that would
purchase the picture. Mrs. Hender-
son readily agreed, and as the visitor
was about to leave the house, be-
thought herself that she would like to
know something of the history OF her
new purchase.
Who is M. Achille-Fould?n querie d

IAN artist of great repute, said the
other.
Young or old2n
'Of middle age.n

fore27
Yes
That was the extent OF the CONVEX
sation. Later it was found necessary
to have the artist himself sign the
contract and give a receipt, as it could
not be done by proxy. Mrs. Hender-
son sent for him and was surprised
one morning to have a pretty girl,
seemingly twenty-four, ushered into
her apartment.
81 was expecting NJ. Achille-Fould.
Can | never see him? Do you perhaps
come from him?"
81 am M. Achille-Fould,n was the
reply. II use a mans name so that /
will be paid higher for my work.
II am glad you are NJ. Achille-
Fould, instead of a middle aged artist,
as l anticipated, y said Mrs. Hender-
son, because there will be much more
time for the development of your
genius. But you made a mistake in
thinking an American would not pay
as much for good work from you as
from a man. / should have paid more

Rossi's Embarrassing Gift.

While Rossi was at Rio de Janeiro
slavery was not yet abolished, and
sometimes his enthusiastic hearers
from the back country imagined that
instead of offering bouquets or other
testimonials of their satisfaction they
could offer one of their slaves to the
tragedian. One certain night, after
the performance of "Othello," a
mulatto woman carrying a child in
her arms approached Rossi, and with
tears in her eyes she put the child in
his hands. saying:-sHe is yours. |
am his mother. They bought him
from my master in order to offer him
to you. and they told me to bring him
here.n While speaking she forced the
baby into Rossi's arms and gave him
the legal deed of sale, duly covered
with the proper stamps. Othello was
very much embarrassed, but he sud-
denly reached a solution of the prob
lem. He gave two big kisses to the
child, and. surrendering him back to
his mother, said:-"Hold onl Take
back your son. He is yours now, and
do your best 10 make of him a manly
being.n
