all, in the final estimate of things we
will be judged by what we really are,
not by what we feel. And again, char
acter is not reputation; our reputation is
what we appear to be, character is what
we really are, and the greatest of the
ages was He who made himself of no
reputation and was despised and reject
ed of men. And it is not our habit.
Habit is the rule of. character; habit is
the garment. and character the soul.
Slovenly dress marks slovenly charac-
ter; and Indifferent habits are the marks
of Indifferent character Neither is
character inclination; strong likes and
disIikes may denote weak character.
Nor opinion; opinion says Il think, :"
character saws Il know Conviction is
the one mark of character. And per-
haps the fact that conviction is not held
so highly as it once was gives reason for
the too common lowering of character.
Strong character must be the utterance
of deep conviction, and youth is the seed
time of conviction. Character is the re-
suit of patient toll, built up gradually,
here little and there a little, until the
deathless image within the soul is COM

words to members of the class of '9S.
In presenting the diplomas, the Rev.

TRENTON, June "a, 1SSS.-One of the
most interesting announcements in the de-
cisions Of the Supreme Court at this term
was that IN the case of the Gloucester
and Salem Turnpike Company against
John H. Beppee. The opinion prepared
by Justice Gummere was filed yesterday.
The case was an action to recover a PEN
atty incurred by Beppee in refusing to pay
a toll OF i've mills per mile for riding a
bicycle along the turnpike road of the
plaintiff in Gloucester county. Justice
Gnmmere decides that while a bicycle is
a carriage, yet it Is not subject to toll
from turnpike companies having charters
similar to that of the Gloucester and Sa-
lem Turnpike Company.
The case has aroused considerable IN
terest throughout the State and has be-
come celebrated.
After reviewing the act under which
the turnpike company was Incorporated.
for passage through their gates, the JUS
an act, which provides that IL any person
shall forcibly pass such gates without
having paid the legal toll, such person is
iidbic 10 q penalty OIL azU.
Justice Gummere said that the sole ques-
ton presented in the case was whether
the company was entitled under its char
ter provisions to collect toll from the de-
PENDANT for riding his bicycle upon the
turnpike.
The turnpike insisted that a
bicycle is a carriage by legislative enact
ment, and hat it is "a carriage of pleas
ure," and that under their charter they
had the right ito stop persons drawing
carriages of burden or pleasure until they
had paid the toll. Beppee made his way
forcibly through the gates of the company
without paying his toll.
Justice Gummere says: 1T is true that
in this State bicycles are carriages, and
that persons riding or propelling them
upon turnpikes or public roads are to
serve the law of the reading when passing
or being passed by another veichle; but
this does not necessarily make them toll
able. The company is not entitled to col
lect toll from every person travelling upon
its turnpike. Its right to do so is depend
ent entirely upon the authority conferred
by its charter, and its toll gatherers are
empowered to stop persons passing
through It's gates only in those cases in
which the has a right to exact
a toll by the specific provisions of that
instrument. A glance in the schedule con-
tained therein diseloses that carriages
per Sc are not subject to toll, and that
they only become so when drawn by one
or more beasts
"A bicycle ridden by a human being no
more comes within his description han
a wheelbarrow drawn by a man, or a
p~erambulator pushed by a nursemaid.
Bearing in mind the fundamental rule
grants by the State to corporations
of franchises of this character are to be
strictly construed, and that nothing pass
es thereby except what is plainly granted.
it is manifest thai the company's charter
did not authorize it to collect the toll de-
handed from the defendant"
