that the law above mentioned had been
pn. sed without the knowledge Of any
body except the very few persons who
had engineered It. Tie legal fraternity
was much concerned because II threat
ened to fnvalidafe or endan yes all legal
proceedings requiring newspaper puoli-
cation. and much doubt existed IS to
the proper course to be pursued. The
old law required the publication IN two
newspapers, one at the coanty-seat and
the other IN one printed nearest TO the
location OF the property, aud the pre-
sumption WAS that the parties to the
proceedings would select sucn news
papers as woul give the greatest pub
licity to the matter The question tnen
arose whether this mandatory publica-
tion in a German newspaper was to be
extra 70 the two already required thus
entaiiin1 addifionai expense to the
partles--or whetner tbs German news
paper-generally Of small circulation aud
communicating with only particulsr
class OF the pub,ic-was to be lscted, to
the exclusion OF a newspaper Of larger
circul. .tion printed IN the Engls lan-
iurther. whether the publication Ia the
German newspaper should be made in the
German or English language. la the
case above referred to. u Jersey City Mas
ter IN Chancery advertised a sale of pro-
perty in several newspapers, one OF
the advertisement of which was In
the German languages. Chancellor
McGili's decisi0u Is that all
legal publications must be made in
the English language and that the pub
lication in the German newspaper In the
German language was void The de-
cision not only throws valuable light upon
the contingency created by the new law,
but gives valuable reinforcement to the
theory that we are the American people
and not combination Of different ma
tions with different languages. Practi-
cally, In view of modern tides of immi-
grafton. there is no reason which favors
the publication of legal notices in German
newspapers which does not apply with
equal force, IL not volume, to the necessi-
ties of Italian and Hungarian journals
and their patrons. People who come here
to live and make home and become
part of the State. ought to have enough
interest In 1t aud its institutions to at
least learn to read enough of the Ian
guage to understand lexal advertise
ment in which they are Interested.
The peculiar force of Chancellor Nc
Gill's decision is tlat it makes the new
law ridiculous by requiring legal adver-
tisements to be published in the English
language In newspapers, the reason for
whose existence Is that their readers are
unable TO understand the English Ian
guage.
The law ought not TO exist lon ger than
is required TO repeal 1t.

to give; they are a detriment to
the few real Germans who
read them; and they are a swindle
upon the communities whose moneys
they receive for printing 10 English
legal matter that the few subscribers
they have cannot read at all.
That Chancellor McGilrs decision
was anticipated there is good reason
to believe. because for some time the
so-called German newspaper OF this
city has printed all its legal notices in
English.

Stupid and Brutal Police Work.
When the young girl. Hannah Rob
ertson. who was murdered at Glen
dale. l.. l., was identified, it came to
light that some two years ago she had
as a sweetheart, one Martin Phillips, a
respectable young man. The stupid
and brutal police, who are apparently
useless so far as the detection of the
murderer is concerned, promptly ar
rested Phillips, dragged him from
place to place, subjected him to in
quisitorial and wholly Illegal examin-
ations, held him nearly two days, and
finaily-released him. Now, what
remedy has he for the insult and out
rage to which he has been subjected 7
There was never any real reason to
suspect him. The fact that he was
once engaged to the girl, OF course,
made it the duty of the police to in
stitute inquiries as to his wherea-
bouts at the time of the murder. II
these had established any suspicious
circumstances, his arrest might then
have followed, But, as a matter OF
fact, the most elementary investiga-
tion would have completely cleared
him of all suspicion. He spent all the
time from period when the girl was
certainly alive until after her body
was found, at the Navesink Highlands.
Every hour of his time is accounted
for, and his guilt is reduced to mat
ter of absolute impossibility.
As soon as he was approached re-
garding the girl, he gave the fullest
and frankest explanations. He fully
described his relations with her. and
accounted for his own time. His
manner and attitude were such as to
carry conviction of his innocence.
But what was that to the police2
They had laid their hands on a man.
They had chance to lock somebody
up. Could they forego such
chance?
Now it is Phillips turn. If he is
smart, he will sue the police, the Dis
trict Attorney and every one else con-
cerned in depriving him of his liberty.
II he hires spirited and skillful law

MORE DRESS REFORM.
But the Wise Girl Who Wants to
Look Womanly Won't
Adopt 1t.

Mrs. -Ri-Jon, who has figured
more or less conspicuously before the
public during the past few years on
account of her advanced ideas" and
practical adaptation of masculine at
tire, is about to join the woman's
dress reform movement. She is to
publish an illustrated quarterly
periodical called the Coming HIaUe on
Fashion Reform. In her prospectus
she tells women how utterly miserable
they ought to be, that in spite of their
own knowledge to the contrary they
really are very uncomfortably dressed,
and She hints that she is the Coming
Woman to remedy all this alleged
evil.
In her prospectus she says:-"l
have for some ten years been but
little before the public. not having
any publication of my own and only
occasionally flashing before the public
gaze in the daily papers, misrepre-
sented always by some neddlesome
newspaper writer or interviewer"
who never saw me. But have not
been idle, for during this time | have
been testing my theories, practising
my discoveries and ideas, and waiting
to see IL | really am the Coming
Woman.
Il we'll knew that there were thou
sands with greater ability, more
means at their disposal, and possess
ing abundant leisure for such an un-
dertaking, but have looked in vain
for the work to begin. Now, there
fore, l know it is my work; it is so
recognized by the public at large,
and have gradually settled into this
conviction. Henceforth nothing will
shake my determination nor move me
from my purpose.
This work has seemed necessary
from various reasons, among which |
will enumerate the following:-T
want of intelligent thought among
women on the subject of more ra-
tional dress for all purposes. For their
indoor or house clothes in which to 90
their work more easily. For outing
what to wear and how to have it made
up. For other occasions, as the church,
the party, the theatre. picnies, etc.
etc. 1t is needless to say that all
other instructions in regard to these
matters have been entirely errone-
Gus. originating in a misconeeption
of the uses and purposes of apparel.
"Under the guidance of lnisinform
ed or prejudiced leaders in the world
of fashion our women have steadily
grown weaker and more helpless and
silly in proportion to the amount of
advice they have taken from the adj
vocates of draped habilments. The
degrading effects of clothes that per-
init no freedom to the wearer and also
render her an object OF pity land some
times OF conteinpt) of the opposite
sex, must be borne in mind. The
wants of intelligent motherhood. de-
serve to be particularly mentioned in
this connection.
Few things have so great an in
fluence on woman's life for good or
evil as her style of dress. The great
amount of time which they consume
in consulting so-called fashion plates,
and the enormous sums expended in
the vain endeavor TO be fashionable
makes such inroads on their time and
means that when we add to that the
wasted strength occasioned by
faulty conception of dress and the
diseases which it entails, the wonder
is that woman is as strong as we find
her, but that only shows what vast
endurance she has.

THE way Mr. County Collector Du-
gan keeps his grip on the public office
which he seems to regard as a sort of
private affair is a beautiful proof OF
the astuteness of that cunning old
politician. He has shrewdly placed
the Office practically beyond the reach
Of competition. Year after year he
has had the bond raised until now
the County Collector is required to
furnish guarantees to the absurd
amount of 100000. AS the official
never, by any chance, has more money
in his hands at any one time than
800, 900, or at the extreme $3.50, ,00O,
the preposterous character OF the bond
may readily be judged
But you see it is very hard to get
bonds for 100000. Mr.. Dugan can
do it readily enough. He could just
as easily get bonds for half a million.
But the number of Others in this
county who could get such bonds. and
who at the same time might be candi-
dates for Mr.. Dugan's private snap is
not large.
The scheme is beautiful one. 1t
seldom occurs to any one to think
there is a sharp trick in making the
bond OF public financial officer very
large.

How EngIish Women Live.

/ greatly admire the English woman
for her utter refusal to worry or be
worried, and the consequence is that
she looks young at fifty, writes Ed
ward w. Box in The Ladies' Home
Journal for August She undertakes
no more than she can comfortably
carry out, and thoroughly believes in
the coming of another day. By this |
do not mean that she procrastinates;
she simply will not let the domestic
machinery grind her down to ill
health and early old age. She
is frequent sbather, and regards
health as the prime factor of life, to
be looked after before everything else,
though the breakfast might be an
hour late. She sleeps nine hours,
and takes a nap during the day at
that. She arranges her days work in
the most systematic manner, and her
little memorandum slip always shows
two vacant hours; they are for rest.
She eats heartily, but the most diges-
tible food. In the most modest home,
no matter how little there may be on
the table, there is nothing but the
best. She would rather have a mouth
full of good food and go partly hun
CRY. than eat a whole meal of cheaper
things. She is true economist;
regulates her expenses carefully, and
is a true believer in the allowance
system. There are some things about
the English woman which her Ameri-
can sister dislikes, just as it is vice
versa; at the same time, there are
others which would make our Ameri-
can women happier and healthier If
they initiated.
