Death in the Tea Cur.

The temperance cranks should find a
new field for their fanaticism in the dead
ly perils which Turk in the tea cup. A
man has just died from over-indulgence'
and this tragedy directs attention to the
many horrible cases which escape pub
licity through not reaching an absolutely
fatal conclusion. But If one man may
he 80 weakened in moral and physical
fibre as to become an utter slave OF the
drug, and finally sacrifice his life to its
deadly fascinations, surely there must be
hundreds of others who only incur moral
deterioration and physical ~decadence
through habitual Indulgence.
It Is dreadful, too, to think of the hold
which this insidious poison has upon the
female sex. If a strong mar can be
killed by it, are we not justified in ask
4na whether a woman, who has become
anslaved by its use, is a fit subject to
assume the duties of wifehood and moth
erhood? How many happy homes have
been wrecked through the undermining
of brain and nerve, of principle and tenn
per, imported from the most degraded
realm on the earth, where it shares with
opium the favor of a people STEPPED in
superstition, ignorance and barbarous
~stagnation Of spirit.
The REV, Anna Shaw is authority
Tor the assertion that there were n,OOO
murders in this country in 1896, and 5000
suicides in 1897. Would it not be a good
idea for some statistician to investigate
the number of active agents in these
tragedies who were victims of the tea
habit. There seems to be a wide field
here for original scientific research.
The facts being ascertained, a course OF
study should be at once instituted in
the public schools. The teacher should
be compelled to give a certain time daily
20 a demonstration of the disastrous eff
fects OF tannic acid upon the membranes
OF the stomach, leading to acute and

TRIED BY HER CLASSMATES
Miss Luehs' Innocence Proven
at Mock Trial in Hoboken
School.

Miss Anna Luehs, in the graduating
class of Grammar School No. 6, Hobokea,
was recently accused of being responsible
for the breaking of a large light Of glass
in the school room. She denied the
charge, and when it was suggested that
her innocence or guilt should be estab-
lisned by a mock trial she gladly con-
sented.
The important event was held yesterday
in the assembly hall of the school. Wal
ter Stanton, a SON of Richard Stanton,
was appointed judge, and a jury of two
boys and six girls was empaneled after
much dispute.
The prosecution was conducted by Red
mond Keresey and Cleveland Julian.
Frank Butler and William Waring looked
after the interests of the fair defendant,
and Miss Lillian Harper's services We're
secured as court stenographer.
The youthful ~expounders Of Blackstone
engaged in many a lively tilt and Magis.
trate Stanton had to use his gavel vigor-
ously on several occasions. His ruling,
however, was considered just on every
point raised and when the case went to
the jury each side was confident Of a YER
dict being returned in its favor.
The jurors were closeted for twenty
minutes. when Foreman Joseph Dealy
announced that a verdict could not be
agreed upon. Magistrate Stanton said a
verdict would have to be found, and the
jury convened again. After celebrating
for five minutes more, a verdict acquitting
the defendant was rendered. When Fore
man Dealy announced the decision the pu-
pills received it with handclapping and
cheers.
Mss Elizabeth A. Allen, the teacher of
the class, was an interested witness of the
proceedings. She was surprised at the
able manner in which the trial was con-
Quoted.
The evidence in the case was not manu-
featured. but was a recital of the facts
connected with the glass breaking as wit
messed by the pupils. Witnesses were
heard on both sides.
The jury was made vi as follows:-Jo-
seph Dealy, foreman; Emil LANCE, Ida De
Wolff, Edna Francis, Katherine Living
stone, Eta Winklemann- and Eleanor

An Instance of Newark's Moral
Elevation.

WE OBSERVE, Will dIluScLlCity tiidL Liz
city in which the great snob organ, the
Sunday CALL" is published, Newark, is
having a lively time over it's Public Lii
brary. Fol several years, the project of
putting up a new building for the institu-
ton has been productive of scandals. All
sorts of unsuitable sites were selected in
the first place-with latent suggestions of
jobbery-and, in the long run, one has
been pitched upon in one of the noislest
corners of the city, upon the whole about
as unsuitable a place for a library as
human ingenuity could contrive. The
building itself is, besides, a marvel of
stunted ugliness, to judge from the pic
lures which have been published and
from the appearance of the two stories
of the facade, which are already erected.
What the interior will be, WI do not
know. 1t ought to be m~arvellously beau
tiful and commodious, for the building is
to cost $500, 600, very little of which, it is
very certain, is being spent on exterior
adornment.
But this is not the cause Of the present
excitement. The fact is the Library has
got into politics. 1t seems to be becoming
an annex of the local Republican ma
chine Chan Riker has got his claws upon
it and is fighting for dear life to add it
- ~ ~. I'LL -o,..;-i&a1 ord MA
negatives. There is a lively opposition, to
Mr.. Riker, of course, in another faction,
and the Library has been dragged into
court, and laws lave been upset and
elections in5alidated and directors kicked
in and kicked out, for all the world like
a row in a Greenville Republican club.
These occurrences might be treated as
mere ordinary happenings if they had
their theatre in any other city h New
ark. But tha the habitat of the great
mol organ, which looks upon Hudson
county as a sort of Botany Bay, should
witness such goings on is indeed a severe
visitation of Providence. 1t would indi-
cate to the ordinary cynic that the virtue
and culture of Newark were of a very
plain, everyday brand, and hat all the
Calls years of Pecksniffling have not
refined and elevated the community to a.
true Evening Post" standard of good be-
havior.
If things keep IN as they have been
going, we will expect to see a bill in the
Legislature to have the Directors elected
every two years by popular voteA and
then the nominations will be made by
Carl Lentz and Jim Smith n damned
through the conventions with the justices
of the peace and c~onstables.
