The Misjudged Class.

In the gay costumes of the stage we
do not get very good idea OF what
manner of men and women those be-
longing to the opera chorus are. At
rehearsal we see 1t all at glance.
They are foreign TO their finger-tips.
Dagoes, we should call them in the
disrespectful language of our every
day life. But they are undoubtedly
very respectable, and certainly very
Woodworking. They appear at every
performance, at every rehearsal.
really believe that there is no class of
people outside the sweat-shops of New
York that works harder or more In
cessantly. 1t is study, rehearse, per.

night. There is no let-up on them, yet
they seem TO enjoy their work and
their life. Indeed. am sure they en-

Paterson, Jan. 19.-Walter G. Meal
lister, Andrew j. Campbell and VIM
Death, three of the four persons in
dicted for the murder of Jennie
Bosschieter, the mill girl who was
murdered on the night of Oct. IS, last,
were last night adjudged guilty of
murder in the second degree. Accord.
ing to the New Jersey law the maxi
mum penalty for the prisoners is
thirty years Imprisonment. The jury
took IA ballots aud, after summoning
Judge Dixon and the prisoners, filed
into the court room. McAlister
seemed more excited than any of the
others. He sat biting his lips while
waiting. Campbell thrust his hands
into his trousers pockets and clinched
his fists in them. Death looked anx-
iously about the court room for mo-
ment and then assumed the same at
titude as Campbell. When the YER
dict was announced the prisoners
evinced neither citation nor relief.
Judge Dixon thanked the jury and
said he believed the verdict was a Just
one
Ex-Judge Hoffman, in making the
closing argument for the defense, de-
clared that the point not sufficiently
brought out by his associates was that
defendant is not called upon to
prove his innocence but that the state
must prove his guilt. Hoffman dis
credited the testimony of Prof. Wit
thaus as to the quantity of choral
found in the stomach of the girl.
Public Prosecutor Finley in his clos
ing address for the state, attacked the
testimony of the defendants, given on
the witness stand. Their meeting
with Jennie Bosschieter, he said, at
SaaPs saloon had for its purpose, as
Campbell put it, having a good
time" with the girl now dead.
Judge Dixon began his charge by
saying:
1.-THE testimony has been skillfully
presented to you, it is only of the
court to apply the law. l call your at
tention to the occurrence on the
Goftie road where the girl was taken
from the hack. The state contends
she was insensible, that while in this
condition she was lifted from the car
riage and placed on a blanket Be
cause of what was done there, a finger
ring was torn from her cut finger and
pins fell from her dress. These oc-
currences may throw some light on
the degree of force that may have
been used. 1t is to be considered
whether these men had any motive To
swear falsely. Had the hackman or
the police any motive to swear
falsely?"

For the first time during the investi-
cation it was shown yesterday that
there were cadets in the first class,
who from the time they came here as
"plebs" have been opposed to hazing
and fighting. Cadet Francis w.
Clarke of Illinois, testified to this and
said these practices should be abol-
ished. He was complimented by Mr..
briggs. Cadet Louis c. Brinton, Jr.,
of Pennsylvania was asked:
did you ever know a man to go
through this academy without being
hazed."

Acknowledgements For Queens
Visit TO South France, However,
Going On-Physician's Statement.

London, Jan. 19.-Although it is
fully understood that there is no
cause for alarm beyond what would
naturally be felt at the indisposition
of any one of the queens age, the
official announcement issued last eve
ming has caused shD ck to the
country, the effect of which ii win be
difficult to exaggerate. Her majesty's
absolute freedom from illness during
the longest reign in English history
has led her people to regard her al.
most as more than mortal; and the
mere novelty of having to face a pos
sibility of regency aloEc suifices to
create unnecessary apprehension. 1t
is necessary to go back to date prior
to 1920 for similar situation. Since
that time there has never been an in
terruption of the smooth working Of
the constitutional machine. No one,
not even the prince of Wales, can act
for the queen without the authority of
parliament, and as no steps have been
taken 70 summon parliament it may
be taken for granted that her males
tvs physicians have only adopted
measures of precaution and that she
is still able to sign any absolutely
imperative documents, though re-
Iieved of worries of routine affairs.
The illness of the dowager empress
Frederick of Germany and the sudden
death of her majesty's old friend,
Lady Churchill, together with the
death of the duke of SAKE Coburg last
summer and Prince Christian, Victor
subsequently, and the incidents of the
war in south Africa have been great
trials to the queen, but, even within a
week, she has received Lord Roberts
and sent a message of coincidence to
the widow OF Dr. Creighton, late
lord bishop of London. It is under
stood arrangements for the queens
visit to the south of France are pro-
ceeding on the lines originally laid
| down and it is quite likely rest and
abstention from work will enable hel
to undertake the journey earlier than
originally intended. All the morning
papers comment upon the unlocked
for possibilities of the situation but
do not regard it as alarming.

OUR SWEAT SYSTEM.
Miles of Sweat Glands on the Human
Body.

Miles of Sweat Glands on the Human
Body.
ut may be interesting to know that
one perspires more on the right side
of the body than on the left, and that
the skin of the palm of the hand ex-
cretes four and half times as much
proportionately to the surface as the
skin of the back. The pores in the
ridges of the palm number as many as
5000 to the square inch. They are
scarcest on the back, where there are
only 400 to the square inch. These
pores are not simple holes or per-
forations in the hide, as some i'm
agine, but are little pockets lined with
the same epithelium of pavement stuff
that covers the external of the body.
They run straight down into the deep
est structure of the skin, and there
they kink up and coil around till they
look like fishing line that has been
thrown down wet. Enclosed in this
knot are little veins that leak the
Precipitation through the walls of the
tube, and it wells up to the surface of
the skin. 1t is estimated that the av-
erage-sized man has 10000 of these
sweat glands, aggregating twenty
eight miles of tubing. Think of it.
Twenty-eight miles of all those tiny
tubes could be Strengthened out and
put end to end! These figures, won
derful though they may seem, are on
the very best medical authority.
They are the figures of men who have
given their lives to the study of this
subject. But still, if they seem too
large to you, there is just as good
medical Authority for the statement
that there are 100000 sweat glands
on the human body, each one-fifteenth
OF an inch long, and that their ag-
gregate length is two miles and a
half! Think of it! Two miles and
half! If you object to that, too,
have the very best authority for the
statement that they are one-quarter of
an inch long and aggregate more than
nine miles, or can figure it for you at
seven miles or twelve miles. Take
your pick. Our motto is: We aim to
please IL one figure suits you more
than another, it's yours. We can sub
stantiate it by the very best medical
authority.
II find only one figure, however, for
the amount of liquid secreted by the
skin of an average person in a year,
though it is evident that the quantity
must vary greatly according as the
person works in an icehouse or rides
a bicycle uphill. From the average
person in a years time there oozes
through the pores of the skin 500
pounds of water. Let us see: "A

An Imperative Duty of Motherhood.

Every fairly educated woman should
be able to train her children in the
correct use of the mother-tongue. It
Is merely a question of inclination ON
her part. The miserable excuse for
not making the effort is usually that
the children will learn all that after
awhile In school" | wish to make It
clear that they will never learn gram
mar so well in school and after six
years as they can learn it at homo
before six. We need not make the
little childs life burden by descend
ing hawk-like upon all his birding
ventures In speech. 1t Is a natural
tendency in early childhood to make
all the verbs regular, and to invent
adJectives. The three-year-old little
one instinctively says "rolly" for Slip
perry, "fally" for unsafe, etc. These
inventions ought to be treated indul-
gently, for they will speedily be out
grown. II is more important to ex-
tend their vocabulary by often using
new terms in their presence than to
clip their original variations. Not
only should we use good English be-
fore our children, small and large, but
we should inspire in them an ambi-
ton to achieve excellence by dropping
now and then some general rule so
simple that they can themselves ap-
ply it. Grammar may in this way
take root in their understanding with.

Why One Man Was Not Hazed at
West Point-Committee Probably
Finishes Today.

West Point. Jan. 19.-The congress
sional committee will probably finish
its investigation at the military acad-
envy today. Congressman have probed
deeply into the hazing which has been
maintained at cadet barracks and
camp for several years past and have
obtained a mass of evidence addition
al to that adduced at the military
court of inquiry Fighting traditions
were gone into again yesterday and
some additional information was
CLEANED in that respect. Cadet A. J.
Lynch of New York was thoroughly
examined by the congressman as he
was looked upon as an authority on
fighting at the academy. When Gen.
Dick began to question him he became
argumentative and shook mis- finger al
the chairman several times when par
rying some of the generals mild re-
proofs. At times ne leaned across the
table which separated him from the
chairman's table, while he spoke in
an insolent manner to the general. He
upheld the West Point fighting code
and declared he would fight any man
of his size or weight and that any man
who would not do likewise was not fit
TO ioin the army. Gen. Dick exhibited
a good deal Of forbeayance. but finally
gave up his questioning in uncon-
cealed disgust after he had given the
''fstic expert a sound piece Of advice.

HELD UP BY THE GYPSIEs.
A Virginia school Girl Robbed Near

While on her way to school about s
clock yesterday morning Miss Blanche
! Ferguson, of Langley. Va. was held up
by a band of gypsies at a point about
three-quarters of n mile from the south
end of the Chain Bridge and robbed of
her pocketbook containing 81 in cash and
six car tickets. She was alone at the time
and although she made an outcry no one
was in the vicinity to come to her as

her usual hour, and had reached point
at the top of the hill overlooking the

wished her fortune told. Miss Ferguson
declined to have her fortune told and at
tempted to walk on. The woman tried to
detain her. The girl succeeded in break
