NEW JERSEYS TRUST MILL.
Two Thousand Corporations Char
tered Inst Year.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-New Jerseys great
ing out its grist during the fiscal year that
has just ended. Never in the history of
any country has there been an annual pro-
duction of legalized monopolies to equal
this years crop in the little State across
the North River. Two thousand corpora
ions chartered and authorized to issue
capital stock to the amount of three and
half billion dollars is the record of the
Corporation Department of the State for
the fiscal year which ended last week. The
State has received in filing fees alone up
ward of three-quarters of a million dollars,
as against s125,000 for the previous fiscal
year. That the receipts are not larger Is
due to the fact that New Jersey charges a
very modest fee for launching a corpora
ton- The fee for filing a certificate of in
corporation is less than in any other State
of the Union, outside OF Delaware, which
is just now making a vigorous effort to in
duce corporations to go there, and West
Virginia, another competitor which, how
ever, limits the authorized capitalization
of any single corporation to $4,000, 900.
On the other hand, New Jersey, by it's
laws, encourages corporations to overcapi-
talize by making the filing fees small and
the State tax extremely reasonable for any
concern going up into the millions. In adj
dition, 1t places no limit whatever upon
the powers that its creatures shall exer-
else A New Jersey corporation organized
as its title may indicate, to deal In cigars
and tobacco, may also stipulate in its char
ter that 1t will also deal in real estate or
do a general contracting business, or any
thing else under the sun.
The franchise tax charged by the State
is one-tenth of l per cent on the issued
capital stock up to and including So ,000-
600; twentieth per cent between
$4,000. 900 and $4,000 COO, and $50 per mil

Garden Denfzen Ended.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Keeper McNally, of
the Bronx Geological Gardens, is eIated
over his capture of a grey wolf which had
terrorized the children of the district since
its escape from the menagerie on last
Tuesday.
On a sparsely wooded knoll in st. Mary's
Park at o'clock yesterday afternoon Park
Policeman Murray saw an animal which
he supposed to be a grey dog, running
through the brush. Bearing in mind the
general alarm which had been sent out
Tuesday for the lost wolf, he followed to a
cleared spot, where he got glimpse of the
escaped animal Here's the wolff" he
shouted. Look out for the wolff"
His first cry was directed to a gang of
laborers workig in the park, and the next
to the nurses and children in the neighbor-
hood Fright seized the nurses They
picked up their charges and fed. Alarmed
by the shouting and the excitement, the
wolf set out across the park, with the la
borers and Policeman Murray scurrying
as best they could after it. They finally
corailed the frightened animal in the cell
lar of the old James homestead. Other
policemen and laborers had joined In the
chase, until at the finish there were q score
of breathless hunters. Keeper McNaily
rushed from his routine duty when he
heard the news by telephone that his pet
charge had been found. He, with three
companions. secured a wagon, and placing
upon it a small iron cage and tackle for
securing master wolf, set off on their tllref
mile ride for st. Mary's Park. They drove
the animal into the cage with little dIffi-
Guilty and brought him safely home.

SURPRISING A ROAD HOUSE.
Victory of Young Woman in Long
Island Village.

htaSt
GREAT NECK, L. l., Oct, s.-The trouble
between Miss Mary King, daughter of
former United States Senator John A.
King, and Frederick Wittmeyer, over the
location of road house in this village,
has come to an end, and Miss King has
won a signal victory after long struggle.
Wittmeyer bought lot of land close to
All Saints Episcopal Church three years
ago and announced that he was going to
build and open a road house. Miss King,
who is an active member of All Saints
Church, resolved to suppress the project.
She went to the owners of the property on
both sides of Wittmeyer and obtained
their signatures to a petition against the
road house. Wittmeyer went to the ten
ants and induced them to sign petition
in his favor In this he was assisted by
several Brooklyn brewers, and a lawyer
advised him to go ahead and build.
After Wittmeyer had erected his place
and had it we'll stocked he went before the
excise board and applied for a license.
which was refused. Wittmeyer was max
ing preparations for a grand opening He
not only sold no liquor, but was watched
day and night to see that not a barrel was
opened The fight grew warmer. The in
terests of the brewing companies came in
at this point but their efforts were una
vailing, and after two months of rather un
comfortable life in the road house Witt
meyer abandoned the place to the brew
ers.
The brewers then planned either to open
a road house or force the Kings to buy
the property They offered the building for
a low rental to a crowd OF Italians. These,
numbering about $50, when Sunday came
made things much more riotous than a
dozen road houses. The Kings offered TO
buy. but the brewers doubled the price
Little by little concessions were made on
both sides, and finally, a short time ago,
the road house was sold to Miss King for
SO, 500. and, with the deed in her posses
sion. the victorious philanthropist went on
her way rejoicing
