The Value of A Child.

A child was killed by a trolley car in
Newark and IA jury awarded the parents
5000 damages. 1t was Justice Gum
mere who declared the nominal vaIne
Of a child's life was 81. In the third
decision Of the court against the So 900
verdict, Chief Justice Magic says that
the damages properly to be awarded in
the case were such as would compen
safe the father for the reasonable ex
pectation of %pecuniaIy benefit from the
deceased during the period OF his min
ority, when lie owed service TO his faith
er, and thereafter, when lie would be-
come e~mancipated by being of full age.
To fix the precise amount that would
thus compensate the father may be
difficult, the Chief Justice says, perhaps
impossible, but it is not impossible to
determine that 5000 far exceeds any
%pecuniary benefit from the continued
reasonable probability of the life of the
deceased.
"Looking at the liability of the faith
er for the support, maintenance and
education of the child during minority
and considering what pecuniary benefit
the father would receive from the sons
earnings during or after maturity in
the most favorable aspect, it is plain
that the award far exceeds any possible
amount of such pecuniary benefits.

Is the Newell prestige to continue
through coming generations in Man
nington? 1t looks so.-li0Hjt0r- Regis
ten. Why shouldn't it? They are a
family of inbred democrats-not arts
tocrats-of the common people, and no
family has served the people more
faithfully, nor more %hOn0rably than
the Newells in the past hundred years
in Salem county. They have always
been the back bone of Salem county
democracy while others have been only
time servers for their self interest and
deserted the party in its darkest days,
but a Newell never did,
Why should not the Newell heritage
continue as well as The Miller heritage?
In 1859, just forty years ago Samuel
w. Miller, father of Richard Z. Miller,
was elected Sheriff. AT the same cleo
tion Robert Newell, grand father of
Robert n. VannemaD, was elected
County Clerk by 26 majority over John
G.. BeIden, being the only Democrat
elected, excepting two Democratic cor
oDers.
In speaking of political heritages, it
appears that the McDOnnols and Tor
tons have the call on the coroner office,
In 1866 John Mcdonnell and William
D. Torton were elected coroners. In
1872 Augustus Cam, who married a
Torton, was elected Coroner. John
Mcdonnell and James d. ToItOn were
elected coroner in 1884, 1898 and 1899.
Thomas j. Torton was elected in 1896.

DAILY A Kicker.

Congressman William ID. DAILY, has
been firing off since election and laying
the sweeping Republican victory in
New Jersey TO the ineiliciency to the
Democratic State Committee. He SAYS
ut all comes from having IA boy at
tempting TO doing a mans work" in
referring to the Chairman William Is.
Gourley. If Mr.. DAILY is mistaken be-
cause he does not know that Mr.. Gour-
ley did work and give valuable -assis
lance in more than one county in the
late campaign, then the remedy for the
committee to apply is, instead of call
ing him an ass, because he kicks, is to
let Mr.. DAILY know what is going on.
instead Of running the committee as a
closed corporation against L. I'D all
others who believe that Mr.. DAILY is the
leader of true democratic sentiment in
the state because he led three years ago
when Others sulked and were not heard
of.
Mr.. Gourley has treated DAILY meanly,
AT the last State convention it was Mr.,
DAILY who proposed in the committee on
permanent organization that Mr.. GOur-
ley be retained as permanent chairman
OF the convention, which position made
him State chairman and gave him the
privilege of naming committeeman at
large. Mr.. DAILY was "A member of the
State committee at that time which
made Mr.. Gourley temporary chairman
OF that convention and he expected that
MIR. Gourley would reappoint him on
the committee.
MI. Gourley's failing to do so, and
even denying admission to him and 9TH
or Bryanites at the committee meeting
last summer at Asbury Park, even af-
ter inviting them to be present, leaves
the $4,000 Democrats who followed
Days lead in the last Presidential
election, while others sulked, to feel
suspicious that the present Democratic
committee is afraid to let their doings
be known by other prominent Demo-
Gratis and that they are ready to sell
the party out TO the gold and trust
forces when an occasion comes. Ii the
committee are genuine Bryan followers,
as they privately proclaim, and public
ly are mum, then why keep Mr.. DAILY
ont. The best thing to do, now that a
presidential election is coming on, is for
a committeeman at large to resign and
put Mr.. DAILY in.
Mr.. DAILY expects to attend the meet
ing OF the Democratic National com
mittee In Chicago next week to get Mr..
Bryan to make some speeches in New
Jersey This coming winter.

A VEGETABLE EXPLOSIVE.
Curious Fruit That Has Been Discoy-
cred In batavia.

FROM the Montreal Weekly Witness
A very curious fruit has been discovered
growing wild in Batavia. and a sample has
been sent to French professor of botany
at Paris 1t appears to be a species of
bean. resembling cigar both in form
and color, though only about an inch in
length But it has a peculiar characteristic
which renders 1t a very unique and inter-
esting object, and this is the exceedingly
energetic manner in which it scatters its
seeds If one of these little fruits be
thrown into basin of water it will rest
quietly on the surface for from two to five
minutes, then 1t will explode with violence
hurting most of its contents into the air
with a noise and splash for all the world
like small torpedo. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that this phenomenon is caused by
the pressure of the elastic substance of its
interior overcoming the resistance of its
hard outer she'll
The fruit usually splits open lengthwise
II plucked before maturity and allowed to
ripen in warm spot. it opens gradually
from apex to base, making, a il were a
pair of diverging horns starting from the
same point. If left to ripen on the plant
since the process is quicker and the inter-
nal moisture greater, the opening is sud
den and accompanied with slight noise
though this is much less than that which
takes place when it has been placed in
water. In this case the dry but porous
tissue of the surface of the fruit quickly
absorbs the liquid, especially at the grooves
caused by the junction of the two valves or
outer shells of the fruit. The internal It's
sue being very elastic. exerts upon the
latter tension which soon results in the
violent bursting already described. The
curious property of explosion is given the
little plant for the dissemination of It's
seeds, which would otherwise stand a poor
chance of propagating its species.

FLORIDA OWLS,
Young Birds of Different Ages Found
in One Nest.


in One Nest.
From Forest and Stream
Early in April of last year the captain of
the steamer Roseada, plying on the Kissim-
NEE river, reported the discovery of
leaning dead cabbage palm, overhangIng
the river. Twice a week on his trip up and
down he watched the growth of the birds,
until he considered them old enough to
move. He then transferred them from the
nest to box. under serious protests from
the parent birds. The birds proved TO be
specimens of the barn owl, and great was
the surprise to see the thrae owls of three
dl1erent sizes and evidently considerable
aii1erence in their ages. From inquiry it is
learned that these BIRDS after Matching The
iiIst egg lay another, whose Matching is

Watson of Atlanta, Ga, land like every

ficiency of General Woods administration.
The general, by the by, is quite well known
at my home, from the fact that he was
stationed as camp surgeon for a couple of
years at Fort Mcpherson, on the outskirts
of the city. He was plain Doc Wood then,
and his fondness for foot ball and other
out-of-door sports brought him into close
contact with a large circle of amateur ath-
letes, with whom he became so tremen-
dously popular that when the news of his
nleteorfc advancement reached Atlanta
these old chums vert nearly crazy with
joy. They all firmly believe that he Is go

States, and l mention the matter to make
clear very significant little incident that
occurred during my brief stay at Santiago
Zone of my travelling companions on the
boat was a former townsman who had
known Wood in the Fort Mcpherson days
and who dweh with great eagerness on
meeting him again. Just you watt he
said over and over again. the old doc and
me were ehums, and when he lays eyes on
Newell, just you wait! We waited Inn
patiently, and when the boat reached San

up to the palace. He wrote. .Howdy, old

The lady rode in her coach of state
As the air grew chill and the day grew late
But she felt no longing to turn and go
To her own hearths tone, with its royal glow
For though it was warm, and rich and fair
There never child to greet her there
What treasures had she in that princeIy home,
There We're silks from Persia and busts from Rome
Pictures from Paris and London town.
Books and books, up stairs and down
Strange, quaint things from the curious East
But never IA child to share the feast
In the 1adys mind was gocdly store
OF wit. and karHing and culture more
She had sailed to the East, and sailed TO the West
She had all the things that are rarest and best
And many wondrous tale she knew -
But she had no child to tell them to-
And deep In the lady's heart there Iay
Such power of loving and giving, they saw
Such fancy for feeling her warm arms close
Round slim little form. with cheeks of rose.
Such wealth Of love had this lady true
But never child to give it to.
Oh. women who fret at the ills of life
The round of duty, the small, small strife
OF daily living with children's needs
Drawing you back from pYouder deeds
Think of yourselves bereft and lone
For love, ambition; for bread, stone.
