THREW OUT ASYLUM BILL
Middlesex Freeho1der Refuse to Pay
State Institutions Charges.
Especial to '.The Jersey city News"l

Especial to ''Ihe Jersey city news i
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 5, 1901.-By
unanimous vote the Board of Freehold
ers of Middlesex County held UP the
quarterly bill, amounting to about $500,
of the Insane Asylum this afternoon de-
Gliding to pay no money for wormy prunes
and mouldy pudding.
An effort was made last month to do
the same thing, but then the Board was
divided
Since the investigation at Trenton the
members didn't hesitate a moment to
throw out the bill.
Freeholder James De Hart was the lone
member who stood up for the asylum.
He was not present when the bill was
held up.
When he learned of it he demanded that
the bill be paid. saying that he and other
members of the Lunacy Committee had
investigated the asylum and had found
the patients were treated properly.
Other members had also visited the
asylum, and while they didn't tell their
experiences they refused to follow De
Harts advice.
The Middlesex Freeholders have con-
tended all along that the charges at the
asylum for clothing are exorbitant.
Today's action means that the Board
will heartily cooperate in any movement
to lower the cost of maintaining patients
at the asylum.

Keller in the Pulpit.

The present situation in the Barker
Keller case is sufficient answer to those
yho hold that Barker was unjustified in
taking the law in his own hands.
Here Is Keller accused of outraging a
woxan. whose house he entered as a pas
tor christs Church. He does not even
deign to answer the charge, let alone at
tempt to disprove it. Yet he is allowed
to enter the pulpit. to minister at the al
tar. Some scores of people go and sit un-
der him; shis brother clergymen tolerate
him; his bishop protects him. With a
cynical effrontery. which would disgrace
an atheist, he calmly breaches the Cos
Del of purity and shuts his ears to the
press Of the country and thousands of his
fellow Christians asking him to at least
make an effort to show that he is not
yiIer than any negro who was ever lynch
ed in the Black Belt.
Ii this man can act as he does with the
mark of an enraged husbands sure belief
upon his brow, how triumphant would he
be If he were only smirched with writ
in a suit for damages. How would he be
deified and into what depths of shame
would his accusers be hurled as black
mailers. sTss 1aaEnsz-9 ~ sess
In fact, there was only one alternative
for Barker-endure his wife's wrong IN
silence or shoot the man whom she ac-
cused
Keller may not be guilty. But in refus-
ing to attempt vindication of his own
character and the Christian priesthood
he is scandaious. Bishop sharkey should
silence him

GEORGE ENcEL RELIEF FUND
Il Doss Not Grow Very Rapidly
Bsnsfaoiary Still in Hospital

The committee of Greenville citizens ap-
pointed to collect a fund for the relief of
George Engel and his family, whose home
was demolished by the recent tornado, is
making every effort to increase the
amount. So far Chairman Joseph Heiber,
of the committee. has s43. This sum is
considered insufficient to reimburse Engel
for his loss as his home and everything
in it were wrecked. Engel himself is still
in the City Hospital suffering from in
juries which he sustained when HIS house
fell and it is said that his condition re-
mains somewhat serious.
Mrs. Engel. who left the hospital after
having recovered from her injuries, was
taken back to the institution a few days
ago. She has now another child, making
four in all. The other children are being
cared for by friends of the family. The
relief fund committee desires all contri-
buttons to be sent in as soon as possible
as the family is in need Of immediate as

Biioy, Theatre.

Ever since the advent of ''Shore- Acres
and 1.-THE Old Homestead" the success
of the bucolic drama has been very mark
ed. Plays with rustic settings and with
the good old fashioned country folk for
the leading characters have caught on"
until now their name is legion.
1t must not be said that they are all
good, for no statement could be farther
from the truth, but of "A Homespun
Heart" which comes to the Bijou Thea
tre next week, it must be said that it
possesses merit and is pleasing.
There are no "great saw mill scenes"
in "A Homespun Heart" and no bridge
jumping or a boiler explosion. The long
family rifle figures. however, and comes
in just in time to thwart some well
planned villainy. Next to this is a cock
fight which furnishes the chief excite
ment, and elicits round after round of
applause from the balcony.
There, are some pretty scenes in "a
Homespun Heart but the one which ap-
peals with the greatest force to the audi
ence is the snow scene on Christmas Eve,
where the stage wind whistles ominously
about the old farm house, and the pair
of plotting villains shiver in furs on the
outside.
The story is simple one. 1t deals with
a mortgage, which starts trouble; the
heartless neighbor who forecloses; the
daughter who is astray; the villain and
the villainess who flourish for the time
being. and then, presto! the Ultimate and
inevitable turn of fortunes wheel leav-
ing the good triumphant and the wicked
in sore defeat.
Lillian Horns as Marion Mark is very
good in the role of the unfortunate hero
ine, and Ann Singleton as Sega Severald,
the adventuress is thoroughly in keeping
with her part. Fred Manley as Richard
Markoe gives most creditable interpre-
tation of the honest old farmer who is
called upon to endure much at the hands
of the evildoers, who in unaccountable
ways creep into the most isolated haunts
of rustic environment.

The editor Of the Newark ''Daily Adver-

smprudent degree yesterday to show that
the German Emperor, in demanding that
Prince Chun, the brother of the Chinese
Emperor, who went to Germany to apoi-

teller, kow tow or bow down to him. was
trying to make a god of himself. The
reasoning in which the advertiser
finds warrant for this accusation is that

Baxgage Inspection Blaekeuardism

This mornings New York papers give
us a new example of the blackguardism
of our baggage inspection system
Mrs. Herman A. Kress. a bride return
sns from Europe. had a few pieces OF sill
yer plated ware in her trunk, which We're
presented to her abroad. She did not de-
clare them as she had received them as
gifts and had no intention of selling them
and as she was totally ignorant Oh the
ahomination of the customs laws of her
country.
One William F. DAILY. an inspector OF
the Custom House, in ransacking her bag
rage found these articles. He thereupon
browbeat and bulldozed the woman into
terror and tears. threatening to send her
to jail for smuggling. Finally, the enorm-
ons d,,tv of s. was assessed on the arti-
cles. and Uncle Sam was that much
richer at the expense of outraging the
sensibilities of an innocent and respecta-
BILE lady.
Colonel Storey, Deputy Surveyor OF the
Port of New York, was told of the in
cident. He said ''the inspector had ex-
ceeded his powers in threatening the lazy
with arrest" The fellow himself denied
having made the threat. But what is the
use of baking over the individual black
guardism of a public spy, when Uncle
Sam makes himself the prince of black

FLEMINGTON, Sept. 5, 1901.-Miliions of
caterpillars made life miserable for the
residents of Flemington yesterday. For
the past two weeks the ugly worms have
been stripping the trees of their foliage
and this morning they began dropping
from the trees. Pedestrians were kept
busy brushing them off and the sidewalks
in some of the more thickly infested parts
of the town was covered with the cater
pillars. AS soon as they alighted upon the
ground they started for the stores and
houses and the women were kept busy
fighting them.
The oldest residents fail to recall such
a vieit of the worms. The whole county
alike is fighting the pest.
The people of the vicinity of Deiamo
are complaining of the caterpillar plague,
which is the worst ever known, the
worms even getting into the houses. Maple
trees are being stripped of their foliage
and are threatened with destruction.

Since that time he has made four other
rapids trips in his barrel. One of these
was made on July 13 last, when he
landed at the whirlpool
One of the results of Graham's last
barrel trip was to arouse the ambition
of Miss Maud Willard to make SINH
lar trip, the result being that Graham
and Miss Willard agreed to navigate
the gorge Oh Saturday, Sept. 7. Ghe
plan was to have Miss Willard make
the rapids voyage in Graham's barrel,
while Graham, protected by life pre-
server, was to swim from the whirl-
pool to Lewiston. feat never success
fully performed up to that time.
On the afternoon referred to Miss
Willard and the barrel were cast adrift
above the lower bridges at 3.5S o'clock.
Two minutes later she passed under
the bridges, and at 404 p. N. the bar
rel entered the whirlpool. 1t had been
the experience that barrels and boats
were captured and withdrawn from
the pool within an hour after en-
tering there, but in Miss Wizards case
the barrel was not caught until after
9 p. m, and she had been floating in

enough for a 40foot boat The inte-

for the purpose of keeping the boat
afloat in case of springing leak and
that they serve their purpose is proven
by recent test, when it was found
that the boat would not sink ever

THROUGH THE WHIRLPOOL
RAPIDS or NIAGARA e
e


So far as known, the first craft to
pass through the whirlpool rapids of
Niagara with human beings aboard
was the small steamer Maid of the
Mist" on June 6, 1861. There were three
men on board this boat, the principal
one being Joel Robinson, who won
renown By the daring feat From that
time until 1883 no person nraved the
billows of the wonderful gorge. In
1883, however, Capt. Matthew Webb
an English swimmer of note, crossed
the ocean ard journeyed to Niagara
bent on swimming through the rap
ids. He attempted the feat on July "a
1883, and lost his life
The death of Webb had a stimulating
effect on people who love notoriety
and at once a number Of schemes for
navigating the rapids presented them
selves, or were presented by people
who sought fame and dollars. One
such was Carlisle D. Graham. a Phila
delphia cooper. who announced that he
would build u barrel in which he could
navigate the rapids and Whirlpool
There was some little laughter at the
thought of "a human being rushing

the pool over five hours. When she
entered the barrel she took her pet
dog for company's sake. When the
barrel was landed the dog was alive,
but Miss Willard was dead. The day
before Miss Wizards trip, Martha Wa
gentiuhrer made the trip and was
taken from the pool alive On Nov
2S, 1886, Sadie Allen made the trip in a
barrel of different construction, with
George Hazlett
Later a Michigan woman went to
her death in the attempt.
The latest venture of this kind is
that of Peter Nissen of Chicago, who
on Oct II successfully navigated the
whirlpool rapids in 21-foot cigar
shaped boat called the "Fool-killer."
This was his second trip, the first hav-
ing been made on July 8, 1900, when
In boat Of his own construction. On
his return home after his first exploit
he conceived the idea of rebuilding his
boat in order that he might take Sc
Ties of sonndings close to the falls and
also in the whirlpool. On this new
craft he expended much time and labor
and it was in it that he made his next
trip. The boat is 81 feet in length,
has an outside beam of four feet and
height of six feet six inches, and
draws nearly four feet of water. 1t is
claimed to be the smallest full-decked
steamer in the world. In shape it
somewhat resembles whaeback. The
wood used in the construction of the
boat Is oak, elm and pine. The deck
is Of oak and pine. The total weight
of the boat is between four and five
tons. The wooden keel has an iron
weight or additional keel attached
which weighs about 2,10O pounds. At
the port of Chicago the boat Is regis
tered as the "Foolkiller," a pleasure
launch. and Nissen by the papers is al
lowed to carry two people, which in
cludes the crew.
Two headlights, or windows, are set
