HE NEVER HAD SMALLPOX.

John Schultz, a Union Hill grocer, is about to
commence a suit against Hudson county for
$50, 600. His complaint is that on June 7 last,
enjoying excellent health. he was seized.
nd after being subjected to d earned discourse
from DR.. Saltonstahl, a Health Inspector, was
lu. ged off to Snake Hill on the assumption that
he nad smallpox. His business suffered and his
children were vaccinated by the health officers
so unskillfully, he says, that sickness ensued.
Schultz adds that he never had smallpox and
therefore the action of the health officers was
arbitrary aud unjustifiable.
Mr.. Alexander Simpson is Schultz's counsel.

On some of the double decked
Pennsylvania Railway ferryboats
there is a danger which is both very
serious and very easily remedied. Il
is in the old converted side-wheelers.
There is just by the lowest landing of
the stairway, in one o. both of these, a
large window which is wholly unpro-
tected by ratings or hand rails of any
kind. 1t might easily happen that II
the boat gave a lurch as some one was
coming down or ascending the stairs,
he might be pitched headlong out
through this window. A jar against
the piling as the boat entered her
slip would do it. 1t would be the
end of the victim of the accident.
Five dollars worth of material and
half a days work by a carpenter
would make the occurrence impossi-
BILE.

THE Hoboken Observer is pleased to
think we are barking up the wrong
tree when we advocate Mayor
Stanton's election as Sheriff. That
remains to be seen. Mr.. Stanton may
not get the nomination. That depends
on the Nominating Convention which
is still a long way off. If he does not
get it, we believe he will come ex-
tremely near it; but, whether he does
or not, he is an ~eminently fit and
proper man for the place.

-ished Oh Saturday morning the State
Gazette makes a most extraordinary
mistake
Less than five hundred out of the three hun
dred and odd thousand voters registered in
New Jersey failed to vote at the last election.
The number OF names on the poll books was
$40, 7S3. The number of ballots voted, including
1903 rejected for various reasons, was $40. 240.
Such a close polling Of the vote was probably
never before known.
In this city alone, the vote was s, 1850
less than the registration. the differ
ence being about twenty per cent.
We should say the difference between
the vote and the registration for the
whole State was about so, 900. Per-

really meant. 1t might be interest

BAR8AROUS SPORT.
Electric TorturinS Machines Used In snide
Horse Races.

Horse Races.
The judges at an Indiana race track
have caught jockey using electric
spups on his mount. The little miscre-
ant had a belt of cells strapped under
his Jacket and from these wires ran
down his legs, connecting with the
spurs. When he touched the TANKS of
his horse the unhappy beast experienced
thrill Of agony which sent it into the
air.
There was no rule at the track cover
ing such barbarism, but the judges at
once did themselves proud by passing
the following:
mo Jockey shall Use anything on his mount
but whip and spurs, and anyone found using
an electric battery or similar Continuance shall
be promptly ruled OF the track. TINS rule shall
apply 10 owners or Others lnstgattng or ASSIST
ing Jockeys 10 use such ccHtrivarces'
The last clause of this rule is the
best. 1t is not the jockey who is prf
narily responsible. but the inhumar
owners aud alleged sports. They car
be punished and they should be. say
the Chicago Post. There IS enough Z
discredit the sport already without
electric torturing machines
