Sluice Claims Another Victim.

Caught in the swift current Of the sluice-
way which connects the Delaware river
with Lake Martha at Washington Park,
Tony Nastasia, aged II years, whose father
conducts a fruit stand on Christian street,
between Eighth and Ninth streets, Phila-
delphia, was drowned Sunday night, short
ly before O'Clock, in the sight Of three
companions, who barely escaped the same
fate in-trying to rescue him.
The boy, along with score of Others,
was in bathing in the Delaware river, not
knowing the. danger Of the swift current
which sweeps through the sluiceway.
Nastasia was caught in the suction and was
swept under the stream before be could call
for help.
Three companions, who saw him carried
in dived after him and were themselves
caught in the strong current. Although
they could find no trace of their compan-
ion they had a hard time in getting out
themselves.
They then notified the park authorities.
and an immediate search was made for the
body, which was found shortly after mid
night in Lake Martha, where it was carried
by the tide.
The body was taken 80 Budd's Morgue
this city and the parents Of the boy noti-
fed.
Coroner Wilson gave certificate Of death
in accordance with these facts.

FROM WOODBURY. 10 PITTSGROVE.

Few drives ia this section afford better
idea Of agricultural conditions in Glouces-
ter county than that from Woodbury. to
Pittsgrove. Salem county, via the Bridge
ton pike from Mullica Hill.
The wheat and grass crops are harvested,
but neither are extensively grown in this
section, yet on almost every farm more OF
less hay and wheat stubble is now seen.
The yield Of both crops has been fair
about an average yield.
On almost every farm the corn field is a
beauty spot Of agricultural effort. This
crop is perhaps not as big money maker
as the same acreage in asparagus, sweet
potatoes, or celery or strawberries, but a
farm is hardly farm without corn field.
We saw many fine fields Of corn in drive
over this route last Sunday Generally
the corn is near horse high, but especially
fine was large field on the Ashcraft farm,
near Edward Leonard's place, and George
Moods field, a mile north Of the Salem
county line.
The white potato fields are in their glory
of vines, and the yield is said to be excel
lent, but the low price has kept them in
the ground. After the Virginia and Mary
land crops are out Of the way, the jersey
potato viii have chance TO earn its keep,
we hope.
The apple and pear orchards give evil
dence of good yield, but it is not easy to
find peach. II there are any, the bearing
orchards are back from road.
We feel that the township authorities
should be complimented for the excellent
road work that has been done this Spring
on that portion of the road between the
Evan road and Chard's corner. The
farmers will appreciate the hard gravel
surface as greatly as will those who drive
for pleasure II the good work should be
continued, however, to the Salem county
line, then the road would be equal to the
average county gravel road or turnpike.
We could but note the general air OF
thrift that peryades the farms in this six
teen mile drive. All the farms are we'll
titled, the fences clear Of briafs and
growths Of small trees, the homes, almost
without exception, brightly painted, and
the farm house lawns beautifully brilliant
with blooming flowers. While th ese even
well kept lawns are a Joy to the home folks
they should also know that their labor and
good taste is none the less source of
pleasure to the passers on the highway,
and show that life on the farm does not
destroy the loYe of the beautiful, and that
there is time after the toll in the field to
give to flower culture about the home.
We note a remarkable Improvement in
this regard in the past quarter Of a cen
tury that we have traversed our county
roads The lawn mower has come into
more general use and more attention is
given to the cultivation Of attractive fea-
lures OF the farm, and 70 our mind, the
labor is not lost.

4 MISTAKE,

| The newspapers are accustomed TO being con
| fronted with denals or extensive qualifications
| of published statements by men who, on second
| thought are sorry that they spoke so freely.
| That method Of avoiding responsibility and
escaping censure is so easy and so familiar that
| il is a pleasure to find a man Of conspicuous
station disdaining TO take such an advantage
of reporters and manfully acknowledging the
accuracy of a quotation on account of which he
has been subjected to unfavorable criticism. At
the dinner Of the Phi Delta Phi Club on Monday
evening Justice Vernon NJ. Davis expressed GER
tain opinions concerning the second trial Of
Nan Patterson which excited general aStonish-
ment when they were read in the papers the
next morning They were remarkable in them
selves. and the apparently public expression Of
them by the judge who presided at the trial was
still more So The almost universal feeling was
that a serious indiscretiOn had been committed
by a man under special obligations TO be as
Greet, and Justice Davis at once found himself
the object of emphatic though not INDIGENOUS
criticism. If he had been so inclined he might
easily have created the impression that he was
a victim Of misrepresentation, but, instead OF DO
ing what many others have done under similar
circumstances, he promptly established the au-
fhenticity of the report, and his honorable ac-
acknowledgement commands respect.
We cannot say as much for the character OF
Justice DayiSS remarks at the dinner. lie eA-
plains that he supposed it was a private af-
fair and that he was speaking in confidence TO
his professional brethren. But we think he did
not give due consideration at the moment to
his judicial status. A lawyer or a laymaD might
perhaps. without improperly, have spoken as
freely in private among his friends, but judge
should not have said such things in relation TO
proceedings in his court and to a person still
under Indictment Even if there had been no
reporter present it is highly probable that his
views would have been public property.
The opinion which he indicated as to the way in
which Young was shot is doubtless shared by
many, but. for various reasons, and especially
in view Of the possibility of another trial, it
ought not TO have been expressed by Justice
Davis. As to his suppostion that the public
seemed to know the accused woman was lying,
and said, why shouldn't she lie? Let her lie
Let her get the benefit Of her lies" we do not
believe it is we'll founded We do not think
so i'll of the NewYorll public, nor do we con-
slider so low an estimate becoming to Justice
Davis.
The incident is TO be regretted for public rea-
sons. and Justice Davis has already expressed
his personal regret. But we end as we began
with the feeling that the straightforward man
ner in which he accepted a responsibility which
he might have shirked is worthy of admiration
and imitation.

MAKING WAR ON CONSUMPTION.

From the deliberations of an organization
whose first annual session opens in Washington
to-day much good may be expected. Though
State and local associations in America have
already devoted much study to the nature Of
tuberculosis and the best means Of preventing
it, never before has there been one of ma
tiOnal scope and character. Regardless Of the
personnel of such body. the mere fact that
it had been formed would naturally give prom
Use of increased unity of policy, even If no new
impetus was lent to the crusade; but when the
prominence Of the men who are taking part in
this weeks proceedings is considered an addi-
tiOnal assurance of their Importance is afforded.
Under the presidency of Dr. Z. L. Trudeau are
arrayed a number Of investigators and practi-
toners whose experience has carried their fame
beyond the limits of the country which is the
scene of their IabOrs.
Koch's discovery less than a quarter of cen
fury ago of the microbe which is probably the
cause Of tuberculosis wrought vast change
in the prospect of Kidding the world Of that
disease. Light was thereby thrown on the
mode of transmitting the latter from one per-
son to another and a variety of useful pre-
cautions were thus suggested. Further hope
was afforded when it was found that cOnSump-
ton is not, as was once supposed incurable.
Progress has been beset with erroneous beliefs
and mistaken practices, but progress has been
made. The death rate has been reduced to
such an extent in the last fifteen years as TO
show that new methods of procedure were
really effective Much is yet to be learned, but
those who are trying to solve the problems
which remain derive stimulus from the practi-
cal results already achieved.
The all important step in dealing with con
sumption to-day is TO detect its presence as
soon as possible The earlier it is recognized
the better is the prospect Of recovery. One i'm
pOrtant topic to be discussed in Washington
this week, therefore, is how best to diagnose
the malady. What has thus far proved to be
the only remedial agent Of value is fresh air.
How best to utilize it, for rich and poor, in
special sanatoria and in the home, in city and
in the country, are questions yet requiring at
tention and to them also much time will be
devoted. Finally. though KoChs attempt TO
manufacture a serum which would cure proved
q failure, other objects are being attained by
similar products. With tuberculn-at least in
cattle-it is feasible 10 obtain a hint of infec-
ton when other evidence is lacking. In some
of the experiments conducted at Saranac Lake,
\. Y and in Germany, moreover, there has
been suggestion of the possibility of securing
immunity by incubation, very much as it is
afforded by n similar operation for smallpox.
This subject, too will come up for considera-
ton, the pretext being furnished by papers
which some of DR.. Trudeau's assistants will
read Altogether this years meeting of the
National Association for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis is likely TO prove exceed
lngly fruitful
