WOULD KILL THE SUFFERING
And DefOrmed or IdlOtIo ChIidreu-DnI
In Iowa Legislature.

DIES MONIES, Ia, March 10.-A bill was
introduced by Representative Gregory in
the lower house Of the Legislature to-day
requiring physicians TO take human life
in cases in which there is great suffering
and death is certain to result and also to
prevent tho rearing Of children who are
hideousIy deformed or hopelessly idiotio.
Representative Gregory is a physician
himself and introduced the bill in all serious.
ness. MY measure Is a humane one he
said. 1T may be that it is too revolution
airy to rass this Legislature, but the time will
surely come-and that, too, within the next
twenty years-when some such law will be
on our statute books.
What I propose for the relief Of human
beings is no more than you ara now prac-
Using in the exercise of humanity on dumb
animals. Besides, l would simply make
lawful that which is already practised to a
great extent by the greatest physicians
and surgeons in the land. At the risk Of
being convicted Of murder they often take
human life simply because they know
it is a kindness to the patient and his rela-
tives. Every large hospital in Chicago,
New York and other big cities is the scene
of such murders almost daily. 1t is a pity
that the practice cannot be more extensive.
If you will sorutinize my bill you will
find that it contains every reasonable safe
guard. At least three physicians and the
County Coroner must unanimously agree
and participate in the act, and then it must
be with the consent of the nearest relative
and, if practicable, of the patient himself.
Any deviation from this requirement con-
stitutes murder and subjects the offender
to the penalty Of murder"
The bill provides a heavy fine for any
physician who shirks his duty under this
law and also prescribes the usual penalty
for first degree murder should they abuse
the law.

DEFENDS MURDER OF SISTER.
Mrs. Standifer Declares in Court She Did
Right-Husband Held for Inndelity.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1o.-Mrs. Willie
Standifer, who killed her seventeen-year-
old sister because of her relations with
Standifer, was held for murder this after
noon. Her husband was held on the charge
Of adultery.
On the stand Mrs. Standifer said she killed
her sister mot only because she destroyed
my home, but to save her and my husband
from further sin. l did right. She is bet
ter dead"
Miss Whisenant, the dead girl, was a
Sunday school scholar Of the Central Pres
byterian Church, and letters from her to
Standifer which we're read in court showed
that her religious training made her struggle
long before yielding to her brother-in-law,
Public feeling is bitter against Standiter.

OMAHA, March 10.-E. H. Hartman and
James j. Hill will race for the mail contract
to the Pacific Northwest. Already Harri-
man has arranged to clip a whole day from
the present mail schedule between New York
and Portland and Seattle.
The experiment Of running a fast mail to
San Francisco has proven 80 popular that
this train is now overloaded with mails,
and cannot carry the Pacific Northwest
mails. The Government has asked for a
fast exclusive mail train to the Puget Sound
territory and Hill and Hartman will com-
pete for this train.

RICHMOND, Va, March lo.-Michael Dur
mont, an Austrian, has been restrained by
a court injunction from paying court to
Mrs. Annie Shumaker, a young widow, for
a term Of twelve months.

the ground that she did not care to wed
again until she had fully recovered from
her recent bereavement. Durmont was
overinsistent in his attentions. He fairly
haunted her house. Once he called at
A. M. The early calls got on her nerves
and she reported the matter to the county
authorities.

A MECHANICS INSTITUTE.

Those men who are back of the
movement to organize a Mechanics
Institute In this city should receive
every encouragement. The Mechan-
les Institute and the industrial
school go hand in hand, what is true
of one being itruesof the other.
A technical education can be used
to a great advantage in this city.
Nearly all u industries require men
who are skilled in that line more than
any other. To obtain the knowledge.
however, it is now necessary for the
young man to go to New York or
elsewhere. There is no doubt but
that there are many who are watch
ing with interest the progress being
made toward establishing an insti-
tuition in this city where such know
ledge can be obtained right here and
there is hardly any question but that
should the institute be started, there
would be a sufficient number of stu
dents to fill all the classes. 1t is to
be hoped that the project now under
discussion will become an actual fact.

THO Fine Offerings
In TAFFETA SILKS

First is a very unusual offering Of 1900 yards Of fine, new i'm
ported Black Chiffon Dress Taffetas from c. j. Bonnet, the ia
nous French snk-maker. Every yard is absolutely perfect, fin
isht in the matchless style for which this maker is famous. The
blocks are in his inimitably rich and lustrous shades. They are
the regular 81 quality, and our price is 75c a yard.
The only reason for the reduction is a strictly technical one.
The standard grades are woven 20 and 20H inches wide; these
are a quarter inch narrower-19% and 20M inches, the narrower
width being slightly heavier, and contains the same amount Of
75c a yard. fsa M4
The other offering isa continuation of last weeks good news:
36-inch Colored Taffeta Silks, in the regular $1.50 quality, at
8c a yard. This radical reduction was secured, because the
color line was not complete. The silks are in strong, excellent
quality; absolutely perfect; in brilliant shades of pink, gray,
lilac, Delft and cadet blue, reseda, old rose, wine and myrtle.
They are guaranteed to give satisfactory wear. About 1850
yards, at 85c a yard, worth 81. so.

where there are to be parades. Al
though we are to have no parade here
this fall, our lad6ies are to take part

The first of these parades takes
place tomorrow at Railway when

comes the great event at Elizabeth
Thursday which will be attended by
Lincoln Engine Company, Eagle Hose

There will always be a question as
to the victory of the republican ina
chine" at the recent primaries. Com
menting upon the result in Essex
county the Newark Evening News
said Saturday night:
THE fact that more than 5000
votes cast at the recent primaries
were not returned as counted by the
election boards throughout Essex
county has not yet been satisfactorily
explained, but in addition, reports
continue to grow in number of crook
edness at the polls on September 25.
There are tales of violations of the
law by election officers and others, as
well as the actual stuffing of ballot
boxes in some of the districts. There
is reason to believe that frauds were
perpetrated than can be traced to
their source, If there is a determina-
ton on the part of the authorities to
push the investigation.
THE grand jury for the present
term of court has a large amount of
business to transact, but it is a body
that can be depended upon to do it's
full duty. There is nothing more i'm
p%ortant to the people of Essex coun-
ty than the preservation of the purity
of the ballot, and that can only be
brought about by the prompt and
adequate punishment of those re-
sponsible for ballot box frauds. The
task of making a thorough investiga-
ton of the primary frauds is a hard
one, necessftating much labor, but it
will pay in the end. Sheriff Sommer
is reported to be already at work on
a preliminary inquiry into the char
ges that have been made, and is en-
deavoring to secure an accounting
of the ballots that were missing in
tie returns made to the municipal
clerks. This inquiry may furnish the
basis for presenting the matter to
the grand jury, and it is to be ex-
pected that the public will be fully
informed as to the conditions found
before that body is discharged by
the court"

A SUMMER OF PROGRESS.

Perth Amboy has made rapid
strides during the past year This
is particularly true in regard to her
streets: There is nothing that adds
more to the appearance of a place
than well paved, well kept streets.
All summer long this sort of improve
ment has been going on and it is still
in progress, Market street having
bust been started.
1t is with a sense of pride that
residents of this city can stand at
Market and State streets and look up
toward the Central railroad. What
was formerly hills, hollows and mud
holes is now a beautifully paved
thoFoughfare in as fine condition as
any street in the country, no mat
ter In what city it may be. This one
pavement alone has added wonder
fully to the metropolitan appearance
of Herth Amboy. Business is bound
TO Increase here and the cost of the
Improvement will be more than made
mp.
To q stranger coming into the city
for the first time, the sight of Smith
street well paved with wood block
gives him a favorable impression at
once. He is touched with the progress
shown and at once sizes up the city
as growing and prosperous.
But Smith street is not alone in
her improvements. There is Gordon
street, which is now as handsome a
residential thoroughfare Sas one
would want 10 see; there is tNle block
State street from State to(Gordoni
Gets; there Is Madison aveeue. a
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-10-08

beautiful broad approach to the river
front, direct from New Brunswick
avenue, where it joins another brick
pavement.
Not the least important of all these
improvements is the completion of
the brick pavement on State street
north of the Lehigh Valley bridges.
This is one of the most used sections
in the city and the pavement is thor
oughly appreciated.
With Market and Maple streets
yet to be paved before cold weather
sets in, Perth Amboy will have cause
to long remember the season of 1906
as one of the busiest in her history.
Seldom has SO much been accomplish
ed in so short a time. 1T has been
done under the efficient management
of Chairman Stacey, of the street
committee, and he is deserving of
no little credit.
That the people of this city wanted
cry side; especially was this true in
regard to street paving. This was
emphasized by the unusual interest
shown by the citizens in the various
paving petitions circulated and at the
hearings given to discuss the kinds
of pavement. The people wanted
pavements and they have had a sum-
mer of it. Not a day has passed but
what one or the other of the streets
has been torn up, and the contract
ors are still at it.
AS we have remarked before,
Perth Amboy is undergoing a trans
formation. A sleepy colonial town
is being made into a thriving port
city of the twentieth century. Street
paving is playing an important part
in this work and the residents will
have to put up with a great deal dur
ing the next few years while all this
is going on, but it all mean a city
beautiful in the future.
Along with all the rest, conduits
are being laid and the day is ap-
preaching when all the unsightly
wires will have to be put under
ground, and so the work goes on. It.
is the duty of all to be patient now
and lend every assistance to the ac
complishment of this great work.
fault is easy, but If nothi lg
was being done at all there would be
a great deal more reason for COM
planning. We cannot all think alike,
therefore let us give what assistance
we can as long as progress Is beios
made. Keep the ball rolling steadily
forward and talk Perth Amboy.
