Many of These Much Travelled Little

1t is surprising that there are birds
which come to US only to spend the
winter, leaving us again at the begin
ming of spring for northern lands and
snow banked hillsides, where the long
day and pale twilight nights of tbs
arctic reign Birds that raise their
broods in the far, treeless northland,

alders grow on shallow, soaking soil
underlaid by a great depth of eternal
ice, at the approach of winter gather

Many of these much Travelled little
fellows are wonderfully tame and seem
not to experience fear of man SO uni
yersal with animals that rear their
young in his neighborhood. Pine gros-
beaks and crossbills, whose real homes
are in the silent, moss filed spruce for
ests of the great north, will almost al
low themselves to be caught in your
hand With the field rowing birds,
like the snow buntings, horned larks
and longspurs, this fearlessness is not
found, probably from the constant look
out they are forced to keep against the
cunning and hungry white foxes and
the daring, trap jawed little ermine
that persistently hunt them in their
northland home. But the rosy little
red polls, the creepers. kinglets, ''little

WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK is the date
for the meeting of the Board of Free
holders, at which the question of recon
structing the Jail will be discussed.
The committee to whom was referred this
matter has had a session and plans have
been considered. The estimated cost for
the proposed Improvements is SEC, 900.
Taking former movements of like char
acter into consideration and the figures
may as well be doubled right on the start,
as the increase will undoubtedly be reached
before the job is completed. The ques-
ton naturally arises whether there is any
real necessity for the expenditure of either
of these sums The agitation of this sub
ject arose from the reported crowded con-
dition of the Jail. This report seems to
have resulted from published reports by
the county collector, in which the fees
paid justices and officers and the bills paid
the sheriff for board of prisoners made it
appear as if there were a greater aver |
age of inmates than really is the case. |
Taking the number of days for which |
board is charged and the presumption /
would seem to be correct, but the charge |
of Judge Hendrickson and the real state
OF affairs show that the average is not |
near so great as at first appears. Instead |
of an average of SO tramps there is not
over 80. The main contention for making
changes in the Jail is the crowded tramp
quarters. where it is claimed they are
huddled like cattle and are not treated as
human beings. On this point we NAV say
that tramp who was committed to our
Jail about month ago, and who had been
there before, said he had been in jails
in all parts of this State and in New
York and Pennsylvania, and he preferred
Mount Holly to any he had inhabited.
So there does not seem to be any need to
enlarge our prison or make it any more
SO far as tramps are concerned
Nobody has ventured the assertion that
the upper portion of the jail is not
comfortable or insecure. The percentage
of escapes is very small, and the prisoners
held for court-a small number-are well
cared for. So the upper part of the Jail
needs little Why spend $50, 900 for tramp
quarters If that is the class of people to
be looked after will not building in
the jail yard be ample for the purpose
1t can be built exclusively for tramps,
and can be made comfortable for them,
and if there is any contagion or anything
Of an Objectionable nature it can be con
tined to their midst. This is a subject that
will bear the most careful consideration,

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

odd Incident of the Reign of Terror
In Paris.
During the reign of terror in Paris
one of the most remarkable escapes
was that Of NJ. de Chateaubrun. He
was sent to execution with twenty 9th
er prisoners, but, after the fifteenth
head had fallen, the guillotine got out
Of order and a workman was sent for
to repair it. The six remaining victims
were left standing In front of the ma
chimes with their hands tied behind
them. A French crowd is very curious,
and the people kept pressing forward
to see the man arranging the guillotine
By degrees NJ de Chateaubrun, who
was to the rear of his companions,
found himself in the front line of the
spectators, then in the second, and
finally well behind those who had come
to see his head cut off. Before the men
could get the guillotine in working or
der night began to fall and NJ. de
Chateaubrun slipped away. When in
the Champs Elysees he told man
that a wag had tied his hands and
robbed him of his hat, and this simple
individual set him free. A few days
later NJ. de Chateaubrun escaped from
France

THE CAMPANERO,

Sweet and BeIl-Iike Is the Toll OF
This Pretty White Bird.
This bird, called dara by the South
American Indians and bellbird by the
English. is about the size Of jay. His
plumage is white as snow. On his fore
head rises a spiral tube nearly three
inches long. 1t is jet black, dotted all
over with small white feathers. 1t has
a communication with the palate and
when filed with air looks like spire.
When empty it becomes pendulous. His
note is loud and clear like the sound of
a bell and may be heard at the distance
of three miles. In the midst of these
extensive wilds, generally on the dry
top of an aged mora almost out of
gun reach, you will see the campanero.
NO sound or song from any of the
winged inhabitants of the forest, not
even the clearly pronounced whip

such establishment as the toll of cam

eight minutes, and then another toll.

Arrow Throwing.

An old English sport that still sur
wives from the days when the bow and
arrow were in use is that of arrow
throwing, and in parts Of Yorkshire it
is still made one of the features of ath-
letic meets. The arrows are straight
shafts three feet long, without either
barb or feather, and are thrown by the
aid Of bit of string wrapped about
the thrower's hand and about the butt
of the arrow. A skillful man can send
the arrow $50 yards. though it requires
some experience to cause the arrow to
leave the string without tangling. Once
the knack is acquired the sport is said
to be more fascinating than putting the
shot Or throwing the hammer.

Vidocq, the great French detective.
had so excellent memory for names
and faces that after having seen
criminal once and learned his name he
never forgot him, but would often iden-
tify him under the most subtle dis
guises. A French forger once escaped
from custody, went abroad and remain
ed for eleven years. In the meantime
he became quite bald and lost an eye
and part of his nose in a drunken
brawl. Fancying that no one could
detect him, he returned to Paris and
went boldly about the streets; but, be-
ing arrested on suspicion, he was
brought before Vidocq. who at once
recognized him and sent him back to
work out his term.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1906.

In MAGAZINE of recent edition there
was story which contained charges
against prominent people, one of them a
high official of this State. This story de-
mands investigation. If not true, the man
who gave it publicity should suffer pun
ishment for his act if correct the pun
ishment should be on the other side
In the article referred to it is claimed that
the brother of the Attorney General re-
marked that certain case could not be
discussed without the consent of that
official, and finished his assertion with
the statement land he is my brother.
To this the Attorney General and his
brother put in prompt denial, and in a
lengthy newspaper article discuss the case
in question. In the magazine charge, how
ever, the writer says there will not be any
trouble to prove his assertion. 1t looks as
if this is very proper case for legislative
investigation.

JUDGE HENDRIoKsoN's charge to the
grand jury on the subject of abuses in the
matter of arrest of tramps created quite
sensation in the court room and also has
set people throughout the county to think
ing In the deliberations by the grand
inquest the question was carefully con-
sidered and lively debate followed on
the proper action to.pursue. 1t was final
ly decided to present resolutions covering
the subject and they will be found else
where in this paper. Subpenas had been
issued for officials having knowledge of
the manner in which tramps have been
sent to Jail, but it was thought if the
warning given by the resolutions present
ed be needed the desired end would be
reached. Certain it is that if the matter
had been fully investigated indictments
would have been returned. 1t is not too
late yet for this-result to be obtained. and
those who have been making the arrest of
tramps profitable business will do well
to heed the handwriting on the wall.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Is now enlistiDg at
tention, and there is no doubt bill will
be introduced looking toward that end
OF course there will be long discussion on
the point, for there is not preponderance
of opinion in favor of change. Among
the many newspaper articles on the sub
ject is the following from the Newark i'd
Uertiser,
1T is choice in this State between CAPT.
tai punishment in homicide cases and
lynching. Abolish the death penalty and
it will not be long before the State will be
disgraced by lynching. There is only
one reason for lynching, and that is the
failure of the law to make the punishment
fit the crime. The Indictment for the
lyncher is the apprehended miscarriage
of justice. Deeply planted in the human
mind is the Mosaic principle of an eye for
an eye and tooth for tooth, and all the
sentimentality in the world cannot eradi-
cate it. 1t is part of human nature.
When horrible crime has been COM
mitted and the perpetrator is appre-
hended, public feeling is strongly aroused.
1t is impatient for the penalty to be in
fiicted and an example made. 1t chafes at
the laws delays. But it is forbearing be-
cause the law provides for an adequate
penalty, capital punishment. Imprison-
ment of the wretch for any length of time
is not adequate. The clemency of the
Pardons Court in committing death SEN
fences of red handed murderers has never
been popular and has always been dis
appointing. Abolish capital punishment
and the lynching spirit will be in evidence
with the first dastardly murder that shall
be perpetrated. What the law refuses to
do will be done in anticipation of the
law by the fury of a mob. 1t was with
difficulty that the lynching of negroes for
assaulting aswhite woman in quiet Bur
lington county was prevented not long
ago. 1t will not do to invoke that spirit
in New Jersey.'
