GRAND JuRY'S FINAL REPORT
The Inquest Is Expected TO Complete
It's Work This Afternoon.

The Grand Jury will make a report to
Justice Collins sitting in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer at 8 o'clock this af-
ternoon. 1t was expected that final re-
port from that body would be made at that
time, as Prosecutor Erwin refused to pre-
sent to it any more cases. What the
meeting of Justice Collins and the Gram!
Jury will bring forth is probematical. but
# the Grand Jury is summarily discharg-
ed as was the preceding Grand Jury be-
cause it refused to indict Scene Sulli-
van, the expected will happen. The ex-
pected will also happen if with the pre-
sentiments made Foreman Furst adds for
his colleagues an address of strong CEN
sure on Prosecutor Erwin for his con-
temptous conduct toward the Grand
Jury when he took from it last week all
the papers III the cases they have under
consideration because they would not go
on with the Gene" Sullivan case. Those
on>the inside say that Foreman Furst has
such an address prepared.

HIS PROSPEROUS DAY
Jew Vendor Got IS for Doll and
Then Was Arrested

Issie Bender Jew pushcart vender,
who found business in New York City too
poor to support him, came to this city
yesterday with a stock of toys on his
pushcart. In his wanderings he passed
through Morris street and finally stopped
in front of the house at No. 102. A crowd
of children gathered about the cart and
shouted with glee. The shouts were
heard by three-year-old Annie Puschka,
who was with her mother in their apart
ments on the top floor. Annie ran to the
window and looked out. There in the
street stood Bender and his cart. loaded
with everything that little Annie wished
for.
Mamma, give me penny?" begged
Annie.
81 have no change. See, that is all
the money I have. said Mrs Puschka.
She held up s5 bill and dropped it on
the table. Then she left the front room.
Annie took the IS bill and ran to the
street. While the crowd of small boys
and girls looked on with envious eyes
Annie said to Bender:-
Give me DOLL.
Bender gave the child doll, took the
IS bill, pulled up stakes and fairly ran
for it. Two men saw the transaction and
followed Bender He entered a saloon,
changed the bill and was on his way
when one of the men hailed an officer
and told what he had seen.
Bender was arrested. He spent the
night in the First precinct police station
and he was this morning arraigned before
Police Justice Hoos in the First Criminal
Court He was held for examination until
tomorrow morning. He said be lived in
Rivington street, New York City.

PRINCETON AGAINST TROLLEY
Ex-President Cleveland and Presi-
dent Patton in the Opposition.

Especial to .sThe Jersey City News
PRINCETON. Dec 8. l901.-The town is
astir today over the fight that is being
waged by the Trenton, Lawrenceville and
Princeton Extension Company, controlled
by the johnson Syndicate, to extend its
lines through Witherspoon street, one OF
the main thoroughfares of Princeton.
Until it became evident that the eom-
pany intended to push its line through
Witherspoon to Nassau street, directly
opposite the front campus OF the UNI
versity, no strong opposition was made,
but now la.,.- this is. seen to be clearly
the case, the university authorities and
many prominent business men are up IN
arms against the project, and although
the company has already secured the
consent of a large number of the properly
holders on Witherspoon street to use TINS
thoroughfare they are by no means sure
of winning out.
A petition which calls on the people TO
refuse entrance to this street has been
going the rounds among the citizens for
several days, and has already long list
of names upon it. This will be presente-
ed to the Borough Council tomorrow
night, and representatives of both the
town ana the University WILL aPPSepa -
the Council not to grant the company the
right of way through this street As
ther is a side street through which the
company could get within block OF Mas
sau street, it is thought that the Council
will heed the appeal.
If action is deferred in the matter q
mass meeting of the citizens, including
the students, will be held and vote TAX
en- on the question. AS ex-President Cleve-
land, President Patton, M. Taylor Pyne,
Bayard Stockton and other prominent
men are back of the petition there seems
to be but little doubt as to the outcome OF
the fight
The university authorities argue that
should the trolley be allowed 20 come up
directly opposite the front campus,
Princeton's seasons of festivities would
be badly married by the influx of an unde
sirable element from the State capital
city and that in many other ways it would
injure the university.

Chinese Women L-arn'ns to walk

According TO a San Francisco special
in the New York Herald Madame WI
Ting Fang, wife of the Chinese Minister
who returned few days ago from a
visit to her native land, says small feet
are no longer the fashion there.
.The very first penetrating influence OF
exterior civilization on the customs OF my
country has touched the conditions of
women" said Madam Wu. "The emanci-
nation of women in China means, first of
an. the liberation of her feet. and this is
coming. Indeed. it has already come in a
measure for the style in feet has
changed.
..Wee bits of feet, those no longer than
an infants, are no longer the fashion
when I went back home found that
the rigid binding and forcing back of the
growth of the feet was largely thing
~ the past. China, with other nations,
has come to regard that practice as bar
harous. but the small feet, those that
enable a woman to walk little and do
not inconvenience her in getting about
the house. are still favored by the
Chinese ladies'.

FUNNY DIVORCE SUIT
Wife Says Her Husband Was
the Correspondent Named
: in Her Husbands Bill.

The highly novel situation of husband
being a correspondent in divorce suit
he has brought against his wife falls to
the lot of Charles l.. Schoenfeld, mem-
Der of the Hoboken Quartette Club. This
odd state of affairs cropped UP this morn
ing when his wife. Mrs. Caroline Schoen-
field, asked Vice Chancellor Stevenson for
alim'ony and counsel fees pending her hus-
bad's suit. The Vice Chancellor gave her
Sc a week alimony.
Schoenfelds bill sets out that because
of the improper intimacy of his wife
with Julius Groenwald of Honoken. Paul
Baumgarten of New York. and ian un-
known man. he is entitled to freedom
from the bonds of matrimony. Mrs.
Schoenfeld Indignantly denies any mscon-
duct with the two men named and de-
clares that the unknown man. is her
husband himself.
It appeared that after a quarrel the
Schoenfelds separated. the husband wrote
to his wife, in which letters he made APP
pointments to mset Der at a fat at No "a
Hudson street, Hoboken. Mrs. Schenfeld
swears that her husband told her to have
the lights turned low at the stated times
he would call and requested her to tell
nobody about her visits
She swears that her husband would
sneak into the flat and remain the night
there. This he did several times and on
each occasion would talk so loudly that
the neighbors might hear there was a
man in the fiat. He. she insists, was the
unknown correspondent"
Schoenfeld was a widower with three
children when on June 4, 1896, he married
his present wife and they disagreed be
cause of the step-children. She rented
the fiat at No. 225 Hudson street and
taught German and french. Articles OF
separation were drawn up and he paid
her $6 a week. Julius Greenwood rented a
room from her so the wife says, and
Paul Baumgarten, New York spice
merchant, wanted governess and he en-
gagged her. In looking up her references.
Paul says when he discovered she was
separated from her husband he refused to
engage her. That was all he knows about
the case Mrs Schoenfeld says further
that when Baumgarten called on her to
engage her as a governess her husband
walked in and she introduced them to
each other. At no time, she denies, was
there any improper relations with Baum
garten.
Shortly after this visit the husband
stopped paying the IS and he began the
present suit

THE TRUST PROBLEM
Mr.. McDermott Hopes to Solve It
with Constitutional Amendment

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3, 1901-A joint
resolution proposing a Constitutional
Amendment to abolish State charters for
corporations doing an interstate business
except in banking and insurance and Civ
ing Congress exclusive control over the
interstate corporations was introduced by
Representative McDermott of New Jer-
sey.
IT provides for National incorporation
law. Mr. McDermott said that he had
drawn most of the laws under which New
Jersey has chartered corporations and
had had much to do with the chartering
of a number of them and was satisfied
the problem of trusts could be satisfac-
torily solved only by amending. the Con-
stitution to give Congress exclusive con-
troll of interstate corporations.

Great Field for Inventors

Automobilism and the increasing
necessity for some form of traction for
goods and passengers better suited 10
cities than that furnished by horses
has given another impetus 10 the
search for a storage battery that COM
bines lightress with high output and
enough mechanical and electrical
strength to insure long life. Nothing
is more urgently needed, and at pres
ent nothing seems further from attain
ment. There is no doubt that an cleo
trio storage battery affords the ideal
motor force for an automobile, as it
does for street car, but those already
devised weigh at least 1000 pounds, and
the carriage that can carry such
weight is necessarily large and cum
brous. which interferes with its adop-
ton. Here is a chance for inventors to
make a colossal fortune by giving the
public what it wants.

HYGIENE OF CYCLING.
Facts Which Are Mainly Founded on
the Personal Experience of
Thoughtful Physician.

In concluding this series of articles
writes DR.. f. B. Turner, in the Cyclists
Touring Club Gazette, l should like just.
shortly to recapitulate those facts with
regard to the hygiene of cycling
which l have brought forward, the
great majority of which are founded on
my own personal experience:
1. Cycling is beneficial as an exercise
to any healthy person.
2. a child may commence to ride at
about seven years of age; an ole man
as late as he is able.
3. 1t is excellent for both sexes.
4. The diet of the rider should be that
to which he is accustomed; his cloth
ing should be wool next to skin, should
be loose, and adapted to the weather.
5. Moderation in speed, distance,
and hill climbing is essential to the
novice; skill, speed and endurance will
come by practice.
6. The great virtue of cycling as an
exercise depends upon the fact that
the weight of the body is sustained
by the machine, and has not to be
carried by the riders own eXertions.
Z, In organic diseases its use both
as means of palliation and cure is
limited; in functional or inorganic
disturbances it is a great power for
good in the hands of the physician.
s. And, lastly, no unframed person
should ever race, and no unsound
person should ever be allowed to
train
