STOLE HIS MOTHERS BRANDY.
Thirteen Year OLD Adolph Hrdgebere
Gets HNpalaHsfY Drunk.

Adolph Hedge, Is years old, of No. 1873
York street, was arraigned before Justice
of the Peace Mccormick, in the First
rimina Court, Christmas morning, for
being drunk. He was arrested the night
previous by Captain Farrier who found
him lying in Cooper place in a helpless
condition. Justice Mccormick asked the
boy where he got the liquor which made
him drunk. He would not tell. The
Justice sent him back to the pen and told
him he would keep him there until he
told where he got the drink. The boys
father was in court and was heart broken
at the fall of his son. He was anxious
as was the Justice to know who had sold
drink to a minor. After Adolph had been
in the pen nearly two hours he decided to
tell.
II got it in the house." he said. In
the meantime his mother had brought to
the court room a bottle one quarter full
of brandy. She suspected that Adolph
drank what was missing, the bottle hav-
ing been half full the night previous.
She had it in the house to use in making
the sauce for the Christmas plum pud-
ding. The prisoner admitted that he had
taken the brandy from the pantry. JUS
tice Mccormick gave him a sound talking
to about the evil of drinking intoxicating
liquor and let him go in the custody Of
his father.

Judg. van syckel on the Constitution

Judge Van Syckel's dissenting opinion
on the Race Track Amendment question
is a curious example of logic gone astray.
The main point appears to be that the
court has no right to review the action
of q body chosen by the people to declare
the result of the popular vote. 1t is inn
possible to think of any doctrine more
dangerous. If the Judge were right. we
might as well have no constitution and no
law.
The courts have no right to interfere
with the constitutionally proper action OF
any other branch or arm of the State
government. 1t is their p~rerogative and
their duty, however, to examine as to
whether any given act is constitutionally
undertaken and c~onstitutionally done. If
the courts nave not this power, why then
we live under a despotism, merely tenn
pered for the time being by the regard of
our rulers for public opinion.
Judge Van Syckel, perhaps, regards the
ndm of the Constitution as being
different from other acts of government.
He seems to dwell on the fact that the
people lave created a special machinery
for the purpose. Nothing can be more
erroneous. The Constitution must be
protected from violent alteration as well
as from misinterpretation, and there is
saha1u fp Tho Gtota ovoant tho a0I1rf
which has the safety and integrity of
the Constitution confided to it. This is,
above all things, the duty of the courts
to safeguard the Constitution, and, no
matter from what direction the attack
may come, the powers of the court always
reach far enough for the performance of
this supreme duty.
AS for the notion that a body tempo
rarily created by the people to perform
the ministerial act of counting votes and
declaring the apparent result is a para
mount tribunal, it is too ridiculous for
serious consideration. 1t must be remem-
bered that the people are not above the
them. 1t is the supreme law binding
them. 1t may be s~elf-imposed. Submis-
sion to it may have been voluntary in
the first instance. But, once assumed, it
cannot be thrown off without revolution;
the people themselves are powerless to
nullify any part of it, to abandon any
part of it or to add anything to it, save
and except in the manner which it pro-
vides and under the safeguards with
which it is at all times and under all cir
cumstances surrounded.

II is a matter of fact. great men have

There have been other reformers like

the rest Of their lives after their terms
were over explaining how 1t happened
forms they charged themselves with.
George Powell, who is Essex's candidate
for Bill Clerk, was originally slated to be
Sergeant-at-Arms. and he was turned
down simply because he has two cork
legs. and his opponents argued that a
Sergeant-at-Arms must be an expeditions
and quiet man-one who can slip round
the Assembly Chamber every minute and
not make any noise doing it.
They pictured the august body of law
makers being disturbed by the squeak Of
PowelPs two cork legs as he shuffled up
and down the aisles. Rather than take
chances with such a mean argument he
has been Withdrawn as a candidate for
Bill Clerk. which is easier for him.
Mr.. Powell did not lose his legs in the
war, SO he could not enlist sympathy as a
veteran. He was a travelling salesman.
and one day in the South while trying to
board a moving train he was tripped by
his valise and thrown on the track.
There will be plenty of entertainment of

William Riker. Jr., Clerk of the Supreme
Court, will give a dinner to the members

The evening reception at the State
House in honor of Governor Griggs and

early date, probably the second Tues lay
in January at the State House. No spec-

KINDERGARTEN APPEAL.
The Committee Asks for Funds
to Inaugurate the
Movement.

Mrs. Henry V. Condict, secretary of the
Jersey City Kindergarten Association, has
sent the following appeal to those who
subscribed to the funds of the association
at the organization meeting and to Others
who would be likely to take an interest in
the work.
At a largely ttended meeting, held
in Hasbrouck Hail., on December 2, the
establishment of a kindergarten AS
ISOLATION was favored by a unanimous
vote. AT that meeting, ninety-seven
of those present became annual mem
bers. An organization was formed and
officers elected at that time. Commit
tees have been appointed and are pre-
pared to proceed with the work. In
order to do this. it Will be necessary TO
raise a considerable UNI during the
first year for the organization OF the
schools. The only way to provlde for
this work is to obtain from k~ind-heart-
ed people, interested in the work, an
nual dues, regular donations and Spe-
cial subscriptions. The association
has no employees, and, therefore, ap-
peals to those who will assist IN TINS
movement to make liberal suDscrlp-
tions, and to send remittances to the
treasurer of the association, George r.
Hough, City Hall, Jersey CITY.
There are many hundreds of little
children on our streets, unpfovldeu
with school accommodations OF any
kind. No one could engage in a better
work han to assist in this enterprise.
The cost OF supporting one kinder,
garten will amount to several hundred
dollars annually. With the large popu-
lation of Jersey City, it certainly
should be easy to obtain a sufficient
amount in subscriptions to support
three or four of these schools in differ
ent parts of our city.
Every cent received will be used in
giving the little children, who are be-
low the legal school G and who are
unprovided with school accommodate
tions, the benefits of kindergarten in
struction, which, it is universally con-
ceded gives the little folks proper
habits of ~neatness, cleanliness, order
and obedience, and laps the proper
n foundation for their future education.
The need is pressing. We urge you
to subscribe literally, and to forward
the amount of your subscriptions

Leaving a Girl in Sorry Plight.

The officers of the Hamburg-American
steamship, Palatia, which arrived at
Hoboken on Saturday, reported the sui
eide of Theodore Greenwald, a young
German, who was among the Storage
passengers.
Greenwald boarded the steamer at Ham
burg in company with aulina Gengel. "a
years old, of Koenigsberg, Germany.
Greenwald gave his residence as Heidel-
berg. Each engaged a separate berth in
the Storage, but they seemed intensely
interested in each other. The girl ex-
pected to become a mother and she told
the other passengers that Greenwald had
promised to marry her as soon as the
ship reached port.
On December Is, when the steamer was
a few days out from Hamburg, Green
valid, however, shot himself with a re-
volver. The bullet entered his head over
the right ear and killed him Instantly.
His remains were buried at sea. In his
pockets were 600 marks, which Miss Gen
gel said belonged to her. The money
was taken in charge by the Captain of
the ship and will be held until the au-
thorities in Germany can be notified. Miss
