The general public of today, however, is
not particularly artistic. The feminine
part of it likes to feel itself well strapped
in and comfortably boiler plated, while the
masculine part approves the custom as

waist found favor as soon as it appeared,
and it seem3 to intend to remain as the only
alternative of the long coat, which is a
rather more formal style, suited especially
for middle aged and elderly women, al
though not confined to them. There is a
juvenile air about the belted bodice. and
nobody whesis no longer young does well to
wear it. Nearly all the separate silk waists
are made in this fashion, although In trim

The round gathered bodice is of course
made over q fitted lining in all cases, as it
otherwise becomes baggy and shapeless.

The law must be applied to children
of tender years, where they are home
less or friendless, or where they are
found amid criminal surroundings, or
where their own relatives give them
up as innately and hopelessly vicious.
But it is a disgrace to u system OF
administering justice that any magis-
rtrate should give ~countenanee to the
prosecution OF q girl of almost infan-
tile age, who has parents able and
willing to care for her and train her
properly-and all for an offence more
of ignorance than anything else. for
which a smart application of the ma
ternal slipper would be the approprl-
ate penalty.
We hope Justics Kimmerly will re-
treat from his very mistaken position,
will cancel that warrant, and Will re-
mand Lulu to the custody OF her
parents for the proper administration
of justice at their hands.

STORY OF A MISSIONARY.
Her observations while at Work in
Rurrm an.

EurKm an
Mrs. Sutherland, a missionary of Sagaing,
in Upper Burmah, gave a pleasant lecture
under the auspices of the Ladies' Missionary
Society at the Bergen Baptist Church, last
night. Mrs. Sutherland said that Burmah,
until it was seized by the English eight years
ago, was a very hotbed of heathenism, and
until that time it was almost sure death for
a missionary to try and work there. She
said that Burmah was a very rich country,
that the largest ruby mines in the world
were there, and that the English Of
fcials drew very large salaries.
When Mrs. Sutherland first went to Bur
nah, Ava was the capital. Ava is now in
ruins, and Mandalay, the new capital, issa
city of about half a million Inhabitants.
Missionary work in Mandalay is f1ourishing.
The children are English subjects and are
taught to speak it. There are a number of
native preachers in Burmah who have been
converted by the missionaries, and each
missionary takes one or two Of these natives
when going on his travels. The women in
do all the hard work and at
tend to all the business. They
are not allowed to eat at the table until their
husband and the male children have finished.
Mrs. Sutherland said that she had no admira-
ton for Buddhism as it was practiced in Bur-
nah. She told a story of a young girl who
the people supposed was possessed by an evil
spirit. Her brother tried to drive it out by
beating her, and his religious zeal was such
that she died from the effect of the beating.
The Civil Surgeon found that the girl had
had hysteria. The brother was arrested n
given the full penalty, two years in prison.

MIR. Egan,s Maiden Speech For the
Measure.
Special to the Jersey City Netrs.
TRENTON, May 8, 1694-The extreme heat
of yesterday was felt here and had a depres-
sing influence upon the law makers. The
Senate adjourned early for the day, but the
House undertook a night session, which.
however, was given up before niue o'clock.
At the evening session Mr.. Storrs had a hard
time with his new Naturalization bill which
gives the Supreme Courts exclusive jurisdic-
ton Of applications for citizenship. Mr..
Flynn wanted the bill laid over and said
that it was undemocratic. Mr.. Storrs in
sisted upon its being acted upon then and
there. He declared that it was a good bill
and was intended to prevent the issuing of
naturalization papers within thirty days of
an election.
Mr.. Egan made his maiden speech at last
nights session of the House. 1t was in ad-
vocacy of his bill for constructing a sewer
along the bed of Mill Creek and filing up the
noxious stream. Mr.. Egan spoke eloquently
about his measure and told what a pestilent
creek it was and how the Board of Health
had condemned it. The bill passed without
a dissenting vote. Among the other bills
passed were: Senate %, amends act concern
Ing juries, by modifying the practice con-
corning struck juries; Senate los, provides
for the licensing of bill posters, advertising
agents.. etc. in cities.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

from Hudson County without a protest. He
admitted that there was considerable apathy
upon the subject both in Hudson and<Essex,
but Hudson had cared for the towns for
years and was entitled to their support.
Mr.. Starin wanted to know why such q
large slice of one county was to 6e added 20
another, and Mr.. Ketcham replied that it
was simply for convenience, and repeated
what he said about the proximity of New
ark.
Mr.. DAILY continued his speech against the
bill, and asked that it be referred back to
second reading for the purpose of having it
amended.
Mr.. Ketcham said that he had examined
the amendments and found them perfectly
proper, He had no objection to having the
bill recomnitted, and it took that course.
L. Kerr, who introduced the measure,
and those who support it, are in a state OF
mind, and blame Senator Ketcham for let
ting DAILY amend the bill.
One amendment makes a new section. No.
8, and provides that the Governor shall APP
point one citizen and freebooter OF jersey
City, one of Harrison and one of Kearny,
who shall choose two citizens of Hudson
County who are not residents of either DER
sey City or Harrison and Kearny, whose
duty it shall be to make q just and equitable
settlement between Jersey City, Harrison
and Kearny SO far as relates to the contracts
Wy which ooio03 eSAvJ "~
two towns.
Section 4 of the bill provided that the
Governor of this State be and is hereby au-
,thorized to appoint one citizen and free
holder from each of said counties OF Hudson
and Essex, commissioners, with full power
to choose a third person, who shall also be a
commissioner when SO chosen, SO that said
board shall consist of three members, whose
duty it shall be to make a just and equitable
settlement between the counties of Essex
and Hudson, SO far as relates to the bonded
indebtedness of said county of Hudson, and
also of any and all taxes which have been
assessed previous to the passage of this act
on the town OF Harrison and the township of
Kearny.
Another amendment directs that the COM
m~issioners appointed under this section shall
file their report with the County Collector of
Hudson; the treasurer of Harrison and the
clerk of Kearny and that the commissioner
appointed under the new section No, 5 shall
file their report with the Comptroller of Jer-
sey City and the Harrison treasurer n the
clerk Of Kearny.
The other amendment provides that the
annexation must be submitted to the voters
of Hudson at the next Assembly election.
These amendments, Mr.. Kerr declares,
will kill the scheme.

KEARNY AND HARRISON.
The Annexation scheme Given q
Black Eye.


Special to the Jersey CITY Neacs.
TRENTON, May 8, 1s94.-The project to
annex Harrison and Kearny to Essex
county received a serious set back in the
Senate yesterday afternoon. The bill came
up on third reading in accordance with a
motion made by Mr.. DAILY the day before.
Mr.. Ketcham advocated the passage of the
bill. He said that the annexation was
wanted by the unanimous voice of the peo-
pie OF the two townships. Geographically
and commercially they were g part of New
ark md all their interests and sympathies
were with that city. They were practically
isolated from Jersey City and the rest Of
Hudson County and had nothing in common
with the people of that county.
There was no political significance in the
movement, be said, as politically the two
townships were a stand off and be could see
no reason why the request of the citizens of
the two places should not be granted.
III opposing the bill Mr.. DAILY said hat in
looking over the people who had come to
Trenton from Harrison and Kearny advo-
eating the passage of the bill, he saw none
except those whom he knew to be Office
seekers. He claimed that from center to
City as they were to Newark. Hudson
County had Constructed the bridges connect
ing Harrison and Kearny with Newark and
otherwise built up and helped to improve
the towns
He did not propose to allow 1900 popu-
lation and el0,000,o0o Of ratables to be taken

poor maRwho have worked them in small
boats for the past forty years. The owners
OF the shore front conceived the idea that
they could purchase the RIPARIAN rights,
secure these beds and cultivate the oysters.
They secnsed from the Riparian
Commissioners those rights II
proceeded to stake off the beds.
The oldgoystermen who had raked the beds
ever since they could remember resented
these proceedings and undertook to take the
oysters. The consequence was that some
sixty Of the best citizens of Fortesque were
arrested
Mr.. Austin, who represents that section
in the Assembly, secured the passage Of
bill providing for a commission Of three to
be appointed by the Governor to investigate
the matter and ascertain il the Riparian
Commissioners had the right to dispose Of
these natural beds. i "
The Governor yesterday appointed WIKI
lard c. Fisk OF Jersey City, James p. New
kirk of Camden and H.. O. Newcomb of
Millville as such commission. 1t is the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Fisk that has aroused the ire
of the oystermen. He is a member of the
Riparian Commission and they say they do
not think the Governor should have APP
pointed him to investigate his own acts.

ppn,sh Coxev by ali Means.

EuDlSA l0xCy ny 0tt NACuhSs
Some say it was a mistake to arrest
Coxey and his crew and subject them
to prosecution. 1t is making martyrs
of them, one man says-Colonel In
gersoll, we believe.
1t was not a mistake, The mistake
was in not arresting the leaders and
dispensing their vicious rabble of fol-
lowers at the very outset of the move
ment. The mistake was in allowing
d~isorderly mobs to think they could
infringe the law, and fill the country
with disorder and alarm without
punishment.
The prosecution Of the ~ringleaders
is not "making too much" OF the
affair. 1t made too much OF itself
through the supineness OF the authori-
ties. The heads of it will not become
martyrs through punishment. They
will become useful examples.
When the Chicago bomb throwers
were hanged, the same sort OF nom
sense was talked. We heard much
humbug about the blood OF martyrs"
being the seed OF something or other.
The event has proved the contrary.
The blood of martyrs" is only fertile
when it is shed for truth and right.
If Coxey and his gang are putin
stripes for six months. blatant and
dangerous demagogues will be less
conspicuous throughout the country
for some time to come.

Stealing a Slice Of Hudson.

The movement to annex Harrison
and Kearny TO Essex County is a dis
graceful piece of partisanship. 1t is
done merely for the purpose of taking
an Assemblyman from Hudson Coun-
ty and giving him to Essex.
The Republicans know that they
cannot carry Hudson County in cleo
lions for members of the Legislature.
Under the County-at-Larg plan,
which is to prevail h~enceforward.
they cannot get a single representa-
tive here.
But they have hopes of carrying
Essex right along. Therefore they
propose to give Essex Twelve Assem-
blymen and Hudson only ten.
