The Austrian wife.

What would the women's clubs of
this country have to say had they to
face such decision as was handed
down by the Austrian supreme court of
appeals not long ago? The decision in
brief was that if wife saves money
from the amount allowed her by her
husband for household expenses and
appropriates this money to her own use
she commits what is to all intents and
purposes theft. The case that brought
this decision was that of couple
named Daun. After thirty years of
married life they were divorced, and
Mrs. Daun took with her the sum of
1925, her savings of thirty years. Her
husband brought suit and recovered
the whole amount, and the judges made
the ruling that Mrs. Daun had prac-
tically committed theft.

A Good Farce Comedy.

The Blondell three-act farce comedy
'sThe Katzepjammer Kids" replete with
sparkling fun, bright dialogue, tuneful
music, ludicrous situations and striking
tableaux will be seen at Lyceum, Mon
day, Nov. 4th. Edward and Libbie
Blondell, the popular exponentsof broad
comedy will be seen in the roles of the
kids" and will undoubtedly do credit
to their respective parts. A funn'er
comedian than Edward Blondell would
be hard to find and everywhere he is re-
peating his marvellous success of last
season. Manager VIM. Fennessy who
has been identified with the Blondell's
for the past three years is again direct
ing the tour, and has surrounded these
noted stars with company of artists
who aid materially in making the farce
melange of pure fun, witty dialogue,
bright situations and side-splitting laugh
ter. The artists engaged to support the
BlondelI's include the Cosmopolitan
Trio, Alonzo Dang, Branneck Sisters,
Signor Heck, Mields and Whallen, Mas
ter Bergman, Ramsey Sisters.

The INTERESTS oFrHE FARMER

The best interests of the farmers, who
comprise a large proportion of the tax
payers of New Jersey, have been care
fully conserved under Republican adj
ministrations. Under three years of
Democratic rule only 500. 661. IS was ex-
pended by the State for the making of
permanent roads, but under the seven
years Of Republican control the enorm-
GUS sum of $946, 357. AZ has been disbursed
for this desirable object. Nearly all Of
this amount has been expended in the
rural communities and towns and not in
The cities. The consequent great i'm
provement in the public highways has
not only facilitated the comfort and con-
venience of farmers, but it has increased
the value of real estate in the counties
where such roads have been constructed,
by making such localities advantageous
for summer and permanent residence.
Various measures, brought before the
| Legislature in the interest of farm
ars, have received careful attention. Ap-
preparations have been made for the pre-
vention and cure of Tree Blight and for
the eradication of the San Jose Scale.
Constantly increasing amounts have
been expended to aid in the suppression
of Pleuro- Pneumonia and tuberculosis
in cattle. For the latter object alone,
the appropriation of 1896. 04, made by
the last Democratic Legislature (1893),
has been increased to $40, 800 in 1891, and
the still larger sum of SIS 900 is made
available for this purpose in 1902.
The table presented below shows the
appropriations made for objects of spe-
cific benefits to farmers by the Demo
cratic Legislature of 1898. and the subse-
quent increases of appropriations for the
same objects by Republican Legislatures.

1t is amusing to hear the remarks of
those who saw the car and czarina at
the camp lunches they attended while
In France. They behaved like newly
married couple at a table d'hote, with
neither eyes nor ears except for one an
other. She spoke SO much to the czaI
at the Betheny lunch that M. Loubet,
who was at her left hand, imagined an
old graybeard like himself was de trop
and chatted continuously with his other
next neighbor, Nine. Casimir- Perier.
Nicholas was aux petits soins. He
filed himself the empress glasses when
champagne or other wines were hand
ed round. Nine. Loubet sat next him,
but she showed, by conversing with her
other neighbor, that she did not wish
to bore him. When he and the empress
chatted, the latter looked animated and
as If she enjoyed herself. AS soon as he
spoke to Nine. Loubet the expression
of the imperial lady changed, and she
gazed without the slightest animation

OLD GANG BACK or EN-.

That the 'ssame old gang" are back OF
Seymour for the Governorship, Hoag-

candidates for Assembly was to many
fair minded Democrats in painful evil
dence at the Democratic State conven
ton and the same policy that dictated

day throughout the State, and in nc
county save perhaps Hudson, is its un'
scrupulous efforts more apparent than
in Morris county. The lieutenants OF
the Hudson county ''boss', yes and even
personal representatives of Billy Thomp-
son, formerly proprietor of the odious
Gloucester race track are frequently
seen in this county. Never before have
the Democrats resorted to such desperate
efforts as during the present campaign.
The edict has gone fourth that Morris
county must be carried by the Demo-
Gratis. irrespective of cost or methods.
The bargaining on the part of the local
Democratic managers for the election OF
Hoagland is of an especially shameful
character. On the other hand the Re
publicans have put up plain straight
forward campaign. The party has moth
ing to cover, its record is good one,
both as to State and National issues, and
the candidates are clean and honest.

WHY C. M. WOODRUFF is A RE-
PUBLICAN.

The Democracy of Charles M.
Woodruff, a we'll -known lawyer, of
Newton, who presided at the Repub-
lican meeting held in Newton on Fri
day afternoon last, at which Franklin
Murphy, and other we'll known party
leaders spoke, is no more to be ques-
toned than that of Andrew Jackson
He yields tremendous influence
throughout Sussex County. and in as
suming his position, as chairman of the
meeting which was one of the most
enthusiastic ever held in our sister
county said:
II have been hard-shell Democrat
all my life but the developments of
recent years have convinced me that
the best interests of New Jersey de-
manded that the officials of the state
should be in charge of the Republican
party. Since the election of Mr.. John
W. Griggs as governor in 1895, the
Republicans have proved beyond the
shadow of doubt that they can be re-
lied on to run this state in a way that
is above criticism. The state has
prospered too as never before, under
Republican rule. 1t is useless for
Democrats to attempt to find flaws.
Not single dishonorable action has
stained the Republican lrecord. This
year the Republicans are advocating
the election for governor of as honor
able and upright man as ever ran
for office. Mr.. Murphy has my hear
test support. .

Sports and Pastimes.

1t can be stated authoratively that
the Yale schedule will contain no date
with Columbia in the future. This
statement is made on the authority of a
member of the faculty.
1t is alleged brutality of one or two Of
the Columbia players that has Disguised
the New Haven men.
The story that Columbia players bit
Weymouth's finger nearly in two has
been verified today by Weymouth and
other players who say they saw the act.
Columbia, desperate at Weymouth's
continuous ground gaining, took this
m Sans to check his advance at the
Columbia ten yard line.
The same tactics were tried when Ho-
gan was gaining steadily on the tackles
back formation and Columbia man
seized his foot and tried to sprain his
ankle.

Another error which the Democratic
spell binders and press have fallen into
is that of claiming credit for the law
which made it compulsory for trolley
cars to be provided with inclosed plat
forms in winter for the protection of the
motormen. The fact is the bill was
passed in 1896 by Republican House
of Assembly and Senate and was signed
by a Republican Governor.

STATE AID FoR GOOD ROADS.

No public measure in the last decade
has done more to facilitate the work of
the farmer, to add to the pleasure of
horse owners and wheelmen, and to
make New Jersey desirable place of
residence, than the aid which the State
has given for the making of permanent
roads. The last Democratic Legislature
contributed to this improvement in a
small way, but the following list of APP
preparations shows how the Republicans
took up the work and prosecuted it
vigorously, with every increasing hber-

found to be Of normal thickness, and it
was of the unanimous agreement of the
microscopical examination that the
brain was normal or slightly above
normal. The body was placed in black
stained pine coffin and taken to the
prison cemetery. Acid was sprinkled on
the body after it had been lowered into
the grave. it's the belief of the physi-
