If lynching negro rapists had a ten
dency to check this specie of crime in
the south those engagcdin it might find
some ground for such drastic methods,
but evidently it has not that tendency,
Judging from the growing frequency
of assaults upon women. Justice dealt
out through properly constituted court,
will prove Il greater deterrent. One
brutal act does not Justify another and
some OF the states Of the south are
awake to the injury that lynching and
burning at the stake are doing that
region.

Use of n Long Breath.

When chilled by exposure to cold,
take a long breath, with the mouth
firmly shut. Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return.
Ing. 1t requires only a very short time
to do this. The long breath ~quickens
the pulse, and this causes the blood to
circulate faster. The blood flows Into
all parts Of the veins and arteries and
gives out n great deal OF heat. 1t Is
stated that q long. deep breath. held as
long as possible, will close the pores Of
n heated skin. and the danger of taking
cold, OH stepping outdoors, may be thus
guarded against.

Acid on Fire.

There was scare in the Lake Ho-
patcong region Saturday when the
news spread that the large nitric acid
plant of the American Forcite Pow
der works at Landing was on fire.
The forcite plant is scattered over an
area of 400 acres, and no buildings
containing explosives are near the
nitric acid houses.
A strong wind was blowing and it
was feared that burning embers
would be carried to other parts of the
plant and cause disaster. The fumes
of the acid set people coughing for
miles around. The flames were con-
fined to the acid house and one small
ler building. Both were destroyed.
The fire was started by a blaze which
burst through the cover of one of the
nitric acid stills as the still was being
started up.

conflicting The case was first tried
before Justice and verdict secured
for the plaintiffs, and sustained on the
appeal, after which new trial was
ordered. DR.. Carpenter, who treated
the boy, testified that he treated him
for an abscess on the leg, and heard
nothing of dog bite. There was
evidence that the dog was very vi
cious and this was negatived by that
of minister who testified that he
had visited the Himelmans several
times, and on one or more occasions had
kicked the dog off the stoop without
molestation. The jury gave verdict
for the boy of $500 and $39. so for

PRICE FIVE CENTS
BATTLES ON
THE GRIDIRON
The MOrristOwn School Scored
against Ist Time this Season. .

High School as Usual Defeated
LeaI School of PIainfleId Buried
Port Dram Forced to Take a
Back Seat.
The Newark Academy, one of the
best school elevens in that vicinity, went
down to defeat Wednesday in the best
game played on the Morristown School
gridiron this season by the score of 35-5.
1t was struggle in which team work
told the story. The first half was re-
splendent with long end runs in which
McKensie excelled, making two dashes,
one Of forty yards and another of fifty,
while Behr hurdled the center for long
gains. The half closed with the score
1870 in Morristown favor, In the second
half the Newark boys started in to rush
things carrying the ball to Morristown's
forty-ive yard line. 1t was at this
point that quarter back Ridgeway sig
nailed for drop kick. Tooker, the
right tackle, fell back and waited with
out stretched arms for the ball. Hens
ler's pass was superb and the next in
slant the pigskin was seen flying high
in the air squarely between the two
posts and Morristown was second
against for the first time this season. 1t
was great kick; one that any college
player might feel proud of. On the
next lineup the Newark players again
rushed the ball to Morristown's one
yard line, where the locals made a fine
stand, holding the visitors for downs.
Then came Morristowns turn to rush
matters, which they did, carrying the
ball to Newark's 5 yard line. At this
point Behr hurdled center for the re-
manning distance. Kobbe also scored
in this half by splendid line bucking and
the game closed with the ball in the
center of field. With the exception of
fumbling which was very conspicuous,
the Morristown team played excellent
| football.
