WHILE the republican party predicted
that the disgruntled democrats were
going into the peoples party, last Tues
days election shows that the greater
part of them voted the republican tick
ct. This is very easy accounted for
knowing the disadvantages the peoples
party were subjected to in the lack of
organization and the necessary funds to
carry on the campaign with and fearing
the retaining of democracy in power
they i'll their dispair went to the republic
can party. Thus the light vote for the
peoples party candidates, and that too
in districts where it had been conceded
they would surely win.

The Obnoxious Cigarettes.

The cigarette smoker has upon more
than one occasion received the condem-
nation of the press. And yet nOtwith-
standing this fact, the use of cigarettes
seems to be upon the increase.
Those representing the social purity
of our nation have held up before the
world the results of the excessive use of
alcoholic Stimulents as a beverage, and
upon other occasions, mildly remon-
strated with those who were cigarette
nsers, and telling them ofthe danger
that would result from there excess
i've use. And yet to-day premature
graves, and insane asylums, hold within
their bonds the result of this abominabe
habit
There arethousands of intelligent men
who smoke cigarettes, and when admon-
ished in regard to the 'cussid' little
thing, insist with sang froid that it does
not hurt them in the least. This may be
true. But they are setting the example
for the rising generation to follow, who
not being able to dexteriOusly roll one
out OF fine rice paper with sprinkle
of Seal of North Carolina, go to the
place where they are kept for sale, and
buy package with sprinkle of arsenic
and belladOna therein.
We have seen in Plymouth, boys who
are under ten years of age, smoking
cigarettes. DO their parents know this !?
If not, they should.
The Chicago Council did good thing
when they prohibited the sale of this
Notwithstanding luxury, whether the
mayor had the courage to put it i'm force
or not. At Dwight, ILL.,, where we re-
sided for four years, the cigarette were
an unknown feature for the smoker, as
they were not sold in the city.
Good and wise council, judiciously
applied, will go long ways toward the
suppression of this growing vice.

APATHETIC THROUGH GRIEF
Moore Baker Overwhelmed by the Tragedy
in His Home.
Regardless of the Wounds Received
Scene of the Strusx gle.

FRANKLIN PARK, n. J., March O.
Moore Bakers farm house, where the shock
ing tragedy occurred at o'clock yester-
day morning, in which Bakers young wife
and sixteen months old baby Gertrude were
chopped to death by the negro, William
Thompson, accompanied by Henry Pierson.
another negro, Farmer Bakers protege, who
also tried to murder Farmer Baker, and
both of whom were killed by the farmer is
closed and silent today.
None of the traces of the quadruple kill
ing have been removed from the room where
it occurred. The raom remains in the same
disorder in which it was left yesterday
when the bodies of Mrs. Baker and ner
child We're taken away. The broken fur
niture and the blood stains are all there.
Everything will remain as Ii is until after
the funeral In the meantime tbs house
will remain closed.
The house is an object of great interest.
People drive from ali parts of tn. coun Try
TO look at ii. They stop at the front gate,
gaze at the house with morbid curiosity
ana retell the story of the tragedy that has
shocked the entire community The neigh
borhood is wrought uD it was never
before. a feeling of dstrust and suspicion
toward colored men has been generated.
1t is remembered that some of the most
horrible crimes that have been committed
in New Jersey were perpetrated by negroes.
Among the colorod people there is a feel
ing OF resentment against the two dead
negroes for the odium they have brought
upon their race.
The funeral will take place on Sunday
afternoon at O'Clock from the Dutch
Reformed Church. The dead body of Mrs.
Baker and Baby Gertrude will be buried in
the same grave.
Today the dead bodies of the young wife
and her child are lying in the best room
of j. j. Bakers house. near the house
where they were cruelty butchered
Everything that the nndprtakarS art nd
the loving hands of women friends can do
to hide the wounds of the assassins AK
has been done.
Moore Baker is a broken-down man to-
day. The reaction after the excitement
has come, and he is seemingly lost to all
sense of his surroundings. The wounds
inflicted by Thompsons ak during the
hand-to-hand struggle which he had with
the negro, while not serious, are very pain
full, but Baker seems to be unconscious OF
them.

Bold John Stevenson.

boid John stevenson.
There was an exciting time In ESSEX
court this morning, when John Stevenson,
a colored man, went home and found no
one who was willing to make his home
pleasant for him. For more than a year
he has lived there with Nancy Cole. but a
few days ago Nancy concluded that she
could live without him, and she so told
him. John had been drinking, had failed
TO support her, and complaint was made by
the landlord because Of the late hours he
had been keeping.
And so you suddenly became afraid OF
him when you became tired Of him?" quer-
led Lawyer Peyton, when she reached
court
mo, SIR" was her response. 81 never
did love him, nohow."
1t was about 5 o clock when John reached
the house this morning, after an absence
of three days, and he was Informed that
there was no room there for him. But he
slipped up the steps. and used his knife
with as much effect as Jack the Slasher."
and Nancy exhibited to the court her ruin
ed garments.
While standing in court during the hear
ing John made threats to do" and fix
Nancy when he gets out, in addition to
threats made at the house that he would
kill her with a knife.
LAWYER Peyton here claimed that his
client was too much under the influence Of
liquor to be tried. but the judge said: I'm
sober"
The prisoner denied the charge against
him. but the proof was conclusive, and
Judge Kimball held him guilty. For de-
stroying the clothes a fine of so was i'm
posed, while in the disorderly case the
usual amount of fine. 81. was charged. and
he was given one month for the threats.
He started back toward the cell room. but
before reaching there he INDUCED i'm pro-
family and repeated his threats, which
caused the court to impose an additional
fine of SO or sixty days.

The House Judiciary committee decided to-
day not to recommend the investigation
of decisions rendered by Judges Brewer,
Taft. Dundy, Pardee and others. in con-
nection with the investigation of Judge
Jenkins decision restraining railway en-
ployes.
Representative Somers of Wisconsin ap-
peared before the committee and argue
that ii was unfair to single out the Jen-
kins decision. He said there was no oppo-
sition to the Jenkins investigation, but the
inquiry should at least include the decis-
ion of Judge Dundy, which was more severe
on employees than was the Jenkins decis-
ion. The committee concluded. however.
not to complicate the Jenkins investigation
by going into other decisions, and report
to that effect will be made to the House.
