NEW ENGLAND LURES

The Society Matrons are Yearly
Making Themselves Worthy of
Roosevelt's Regard

MONTPELIER. VT, Sept 10
The statement recently published
that there is a noticeable increase in
births among old Nv England fam
lies and atributing this in crease to
President Roosevelt's race-sui-
eide appeal, seems to be borne out by
facts in this part Of New England. Of
course, on such delicate subject
names and specific instances cannot
be given, but glance over Washing
ton county, which includes the citiss
Of Montpelier and Barre, indicates
that the descen iauss Of Old New
England fan4ilie, in this section.
many OF whom have been c'i'idIess
:or years, have again gone int5 the
business of faisls children.
THIS impression was strengthened
this evening by a conversation with
a New York World reporter with
two physicians. They both declare
the past one has been great one for
babies, and especially so among the
.'old stock" families These physi-
sicians would not hazard an opinion
whether or not President Roosevelt's
appeal had anything to do with this
increase in the birth rate, but the
increase is apparent. This does not
apply to families of foreign birth. In
this part of Vermont there are many
hundreds of Italian stonecutters.

A recent census of this city. taken
in view of the celebration Of the one

crease since the census of 1000 was
taken of $40. A great part of this
increase in children less than two

STATE SUPREME COURT
JUDGMENT AGAINST l.. AND N.
 RAILROAD AFFIRMED.
T. G. smitha of fontsomery Awarded e1,430 for Killing of Mules. Baldwin County Courthouse
 Controversy Argued.

The Alabama Supreme Court yester- day. in an opinion by Mr. Justice Har- alson, affirmed the Judgment of T. C. Smitha, of Montgomery. secured in the Montgomery City Court, for $1.43O against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. for the killing of three 0f his mules and the injury of a score or more others on February 23, 1903.
 The animals were the victims of an accident on the road. or carelessness in handling them, while being shipped from St. Louis to Montgomery. The amount sued for by MT. smitha was $3,000.
 The Supreme Court handed down three other decisions yesterday one of which was the dismissal, in an opinion by MT. Justice Denson. of the appeal of the Yellow Pine Lumber Company of Washington County. of Its case against w. H. Randall. This was a suit for a sum of moderate size and the judgment of the Washington Coun- ty Court which tried the case was de- ciared void because the trial took sJace under the regulation Of the de- funct "Lusk bill," or the act purporting to redistrict the judicial circuits of the State.
 The trial was on the first Monday after the second Monday in March last year, which was the assignment of the date as made by the redistricting act. As this act was> declared null over year ago by the Supreme Court the judgment secured by its provisions was rendered also void. The trial, to have been valid, should have been held on the first Monday tn March last year. That was the beginning of the term as provided for by the only law in force after the expiration of the 'Tusk bill," being a special act of the Legislature of 1899 applying to the Washington County Circuit Court.
 The other opinions handed down yes- terday were as follows:
 Dowdell, J.--Freddie Ball by next friend, vs. Mobile Light and Railroad Company; appeal from Mobile Circuit Court; reversed and remanded.

Former showman Convicted of Picking e Pocket at EufauIa Win Locate as a Barber fin Mont

The happiest man in Montgomery today is Ed Fox, the ex-convict. It ts hard for Fox to tell whether he has made the most money in convict stripes or by high diving for Fox is an old snowman. The last time Fox was in the Capital City of Alabama he was a free man. This was four years ago. Today he is free and it is his second trip here.
 But travail and tribulations have chiseled more than two of these four years out of his existence. Four years ago Fox was diving twice daily in Ed Robinson's circus entourage for $125 a dive. He was dHbpping eighty feet then into deep water.
 This was what I was doing on the square," said Fox yesterday. of course, it was understood by the public that I was diving hundred feet and into shallow water. But what matters it? Didn't the people open their eyes just the same and didn't I turn black in the body as if I dropped the century limit? It's all in the game

 None of Fox's family has heard of his period in the penitentiary. So busy has he been in the exercise of his several crafts while in the walls and other prisons of the State that the sacred charge of supporting his daugh- ter In school, made before his convic- ton, has been carried out faithfully, And now he has seven days all to him self.
 If could send my little daughter to school by working in prison on Sun day and nights" said Fox yesterday, T will have no fears of the future when the whole week is mine and fifty-two of them in the year."
 Fox was shaking the familiar hands of Dan Robinson, the show celebrity, in town yesterday. Mir. Robinson offered Fox barber's concession in his car nival on the streets. The ex-conVict politely declined the offer.

All well enough, for I had $1,s00 at the time, but the straw that broke the dromeda- rvs. spine was when T was given punishment that I could not dispose of by going down in the hip pocket of a highly respectable gentleman"

not high-dive any more and he pledges he will not dive low again. He will try to locate in Montgomery to follow | the barber's trade. But he will not do
 the motley, itinerant work that he used
 to do while chasing the shows. He is
 also a tailor. but will not follow this vocation as he can only make clothes
 to satisfy himself. He was compIt-
 mented yesterday by Judge J. M. Car
 michael. the former President of the State Convict Board, for the neat suit ! ne had cut out and made for himself | while in the walls.
 If 1t Is perilous for the average high diver to take his daily plunges 1t ia uouoiy wondrous how Fox, the ex-diver, passed through his aerial expeditions to come out alive. In his right side he has worn for many years sln abdominal support. It protests his intestines against violence, an operation for appendicitis having left an orifice in his side that will not heal. This was one Of the things that appealed to the State Board Of Pardons in recommending clemency to the Governor Monday.
 Fox declares he Can produce the cer- tihcate to show he has the worlds record for high-diving. He dropped 2lO feet into tank of water at Euclid Park, in Cleveland, and won the prize Of $50 cash over twenty competitors. He Is man pretty we'll preserved for his varied experiences. has auburn hair and sharp features. When he was freed from the penitentiary he had been serving several months as a "trusty,'' The clothes he is now wearing he made himself.
 This fellow of all trades was an in- terested spectator yesterday of the high-diving act of Colonel Nick Carter on Blob Street and the equally thrill- Ing performances of one Mr. StrahI on Dexter Avenue.
 "Humph!" he calculated last night These young fellows put on all of the frills and have the same nerve I used to have, but it's back to the simple life for me"
 Some of these days Fox may write a book narrating his varied experinces as prisoner of Alabama. He carefully set down in a diary the events of each day he was in prison.
