or to its indirect benefit on all

some may rejoice in possessing,
while others must be resigned to

There are indeed some who

FOR AN S. P. C. C.
Organized Aid VIII Form One
in Connection With
Charities Aid.

1t was decided to start a society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in
joint connection with the Organized Aid
and Charities Aid Associations of this
city. The matter was talked over and
voted upon at an executive committee
meeting of the Organized Aid yesterday
afternoon at the Aid headquarters on
Grand street. Counselor Robert L.
Flemming and Mr.. Hugh Hartshorne
were appointed a committee to investi-
gate the New Jersey laws relating to
cruelty to children, and Father Foy, of
st. Joseph's R. c. Church; Miss Cornelia
Bradford, of Whittier House, and Miss
Kremm, agent for the Organized Aid,
were placed on committee to investi-
gate the needs of a S. P. G. G. in this
city.
A charter for an S. P. G. G. is now
held by the Organized Aid, but if it is
found that the Charities Aid can better
support the enterprise the charter will
be transferred to that organization. The
society is to be formed before Thanks
giving.
Miss Kremm's report for September
shows that 196 children were cared for
in the Day Nursery.

JURORS RIGHTS.
Judge Blair Decides They Can
not Be Questioned AS to
Their Occupation.

A lively legal tilt over the right of
cupation marked the trial of the suit of
Mrs. Mary Funisti. of No. 266 Sixth
street, against the North Jersey Street
Railway Company in the Court of Com
mon Pleas yesterday afternoon.
As the jurors were called to the box
Lawyer Warren Dixon, who represented
the plaintiff, asked each his occupation
Lawyer James Vredenburgh, who ap-
peared for the defendant company, in
sisted that there was no warrant in law
for such procedure.
81 have been informed that an employe
o f the defendant company has been
taken from a car and is on this panel
of Jurors said Mr.. Dixon.
1t is not proper to make that asser-
ton unless you know it to be fact re-
torted Mr.. yredenburgh
There is no statute that prohibits
such a question. being asked insisted
Mr.. Dixon.
Nor is there any statute permitting
it." said the opposing lawyer.
''In the case of DR.. Justin against the
North Hudson County Railway Com
pany, Justice Collins allowed the ques-
tions," declared Lawyer Dixon.
Mr.. Vredenburgh said that the ques-
ton was an embarrassing one for the
jurors.
1T is not embarrassing for a juror, if
he is engaged in an honest occupation"
was Mr.. Dixon's reply.
Judge Blair cut short further debate
on the subject by ruling out the ques-
tions.
Mrs. Furnesti claimed that on Nov. 4,
1900. at 11.40 A. M.,s while bringing her
brothers lunch to coal yard where
he was employed she boarded a trolley
car at Newark avenue and Coles street
The ear started suddenly and threw
her against the back of the hand rail-
She was in a delicate condition at the
time and the shock had a most injurious
effect.
The jury, after being out several hours
returned a verdict of $500 for the plain
tiff.

NOTICE SENT TO HUSBAND

Came Herself Canal
Boats to Burn.

The basin running inland as far as
Park avenue, above Fifteenth street,
Hoboken, was the scene of activity today
when the scheme devised by Poormaster
Barck and members of the Stevens
family to provide the city's poor with
firewood was put into operation.
Fifty men with axes, saws and crow
bars went to work on the old canalboats
resting on the muddy bottom of the basin
and before noon had the hulks converted
into several dozen cords of winter fuel
There is enough frewood in the basin
to last a hundred families during the
winter, and the work is expected to pro-
ceed for several weeks to come
Every assistance is being lent by the
promoters of the scheme to assist the
persons at work on the hulks Two large
RATS in charge of men in the employ of
the poormaster, are provided with tools
for the work of wrenching the heavy oak
timbers asunder and bringing them TO
shore, and the basin this morning lost
its usual aspect and took on the appear
ance of a busy wood yard.
Most of the men who applied to the
Poormaster for tools had the appearance
of being steady and industrious. There
were at least two dozen 'longshoremen
among the workers. The majority of
these said that they had come to cut
wood because they had an off day and
would be unable to take advantage of

Poormaster Barek had ono woman
among the awpplicants for work in the
basin. She was Mary Lockran, of No.
216 Grand street, whose husband died
six months ago. Shortly before his death
he was out of work and applied to the
Poormaster for relief. Mr. Barck was
not informed of his death, but remember
ing that the case was a deserving one,
directed letter to the man yesterday,
telling him about the opportunity to get
a supply of winter fuel. Bright and early
this morning Mrs. Lockran was at the
Poormaster's office.
my husband is dead" she said, "but
can handle bucksaw as good as any
man and woul like to be allowed to get
some of that free wood. One of my boys
can help me, and I'm willing to wager
that we will take home between us as
much as any two men,"
The Poormaster does not want any
women competitors in the wood-cutting
bee, and sent Mrs. Lockran home with
the assurance that she would get some
of the fuel without having to cut it her
self
The forty tons of coal which arrived
over the Erie Railroad early in the week
has already been disposed of, and the
members of the Stevens family expect to
be able to get another carload in a day
or two.

HOME RUINED BY DRINK.
Neighbors Say the Parents Neglect
Their Children.

James Garland, Mrs. Margaret Cart
land, his wife, and Annie johnson were
booked as disorderly persons in the First
Criminal Court this morning When the
case came before the judge it was learn
ed that they lived at No. 2O9 Fifth
street and had been arrested on COM
plaint of their neighbors.
The complainants testified that Mrs.
Garland had two little children, three
years old and eight years DID, who were
shamefully neglected ON account of the
drinking habits of their parents.
Garland is a painter and when sober
can secure good wages. The neighbors
said that oftentimes the parents were
on debaueh week or two at a time
and children received no care whatever.
The Poormaster was ordered to inves-
tigate the case, and the defendants were
held to await his report.
