Rise nf n blacksmith.

The president of the German Mili- tary Court, General Linde, was, in his youth, a locksmith's apprentice. Presi- dent Linde intended to become, anN en- gineer, and entered the workshop of a locksmith to receive some practical training. But the mechanial work was little to the young mans taste. and he returned to school. In 1866 he took service in an artillery regiment at Rindsberg, and advanced rapidly. Until 1904 he was division commander at Bromberg, and has since been corps commander at CaSsel.

Speaking of the proposition to pay Congressmen larger salaries than they now receive. The Chicago News gives as one argument in it's favor that such course would tend to elevate the standard of service in Congress-" That is to say that the best men will not go to Congress unless they are paid more for it. Perhaps that is true. but it Is a sordid way of looking at it.

PATERSON, Feb. S:-Judge Scott,
in the Court of Common Pleas in

law passed in 1904 made it obligat-
DRY on children to support their par

Half a dozen aged men and women

why they should not be imprisoned
for failure or refusal TO support their
parents when they were well able to
do so.
George Edge was ordered to pay
his mother 50 a week. Stephen and
Michael McGlone were directed to
support their blind and aged father.
John C. Demarest was ordered to
provide for his father and mother,
both of whom are destitute.
James Verhulst, who earns a sal
airy of IS a day, was told he must

TAX ASSESSORS HIT.
Property in Newark Scheduled at
so Per Cent of Legal Rate.

NEWARK, Feb. S.-TaX assessors
in Essex county were raked over the
Goals by the State Board of Equaliza-
ton Of Taxes yesterday at a meeting
in the Newark city hall, at which
Mayor Carl Lentz presided. Evil
dence was brought to light by an in
QUESTION led by Lentz that in few
instances. if any, was property in
the county assessed at its real value.
Conditions in Newark, according to
Philip Lowy, president of the tax
board, make it unnecessary, if the
provisions of the states constitution
with regard to tax assessments were
enforced, for much amendment to the
Hillery maximum tax rate measure.
He said hat the enactment of the
Hillery act would compel a strict en-
forcement of the law taxing property
at its full value. 1t was revealed in
the examination that in places out
side of Newark property was assess
ed at 80 per cent. of the rate that
should ge eXacted and in some S
less. It was noticeable that %re?:o3en-
tatives from outlying districts, which
it was said were the more important
TO be heard from, were absent.
Major Lent asked that Sheriff
Sommer subpoena these representa-
tiyes for a meeting to be held by the
state board at the town hall in South
Orange February 10.

ish King.

COPENHAGEN, Feb. S.-The body

COLBY AFTER NORRIS.
The Young Essex Reformer Makes
impression in that County.

YOUNGSTOWN, Feb. S:-Senator
Everett Colby, of Essex county, was
in MOrristown Tuesday night as the
guest of Edward A. Day. The sena-
tor met many men active in politics
and business, and explained his the
cries of equal taxation and the limit
ing of franchises. His visit was to
see if he could create Il more vigor-
Gus public sentiment in Morris county
along these lines.
Those present were favorably i'm
pressed by his remarks. and it was
thought that an organization such as
he suggested would be started in the
county, 1t would not. however, be
started TO conflict with the regular
republican organizations, but. if DOS
sible, TO work along with il. E
Mr.. Colby's experiences in other
cities, as he told them, We're listened
to closely, and the expectation is that
steps will be taken TO have the move
ment in working order in time or
the election next fail.

COLD SNAP AvERTED
CERTAIN ICE FAMINE.
Dealers Got Busy Harvesting Pro-
duct and Skaters Took Advant-
age of Few Days of Sport.

The present cold snap is welcomed
by the ice barons, who are making
arrangements for the harvesting OF
the annual ice crop from the streams
in this vicinity. The ice in the Della
ware and Raritan canal is being cut
and housed to be sold for refrigerator
purposes.
Over in Pennsylvania many local
dealers cut from that side of the NV
err and the Pennsylvania canal. SeV-
eral of the leading ice dealers say
there will be no danger of an ice fam
inc next summer, as there is any
quantity of it being cut in northern
New York, Maine and New Hamp-
shire.
AS the result of the cold weather
the skating has not been better for a
long time than il was during the past
two or three days. Nearly every troll
ley car running in the direction of
Raritan lake has been filled, not only
with boys and girls, but also with
men and women.
The ice was as hard as flint until
yesterday. Then it softcned a bit, but
that did moi detract from the enthu-
siasm of those who had bought new
skates.
The weather sharps have promised
warmer weather and the skaters and
ice barons are making plans to get
the fun benefit of the opportunity at
hHnd.

from Attorney Generals

day. Senator Hillery was the intro
Queer in the senate, and Assembly
mar Perkins in the house. The bill
was referred in each body to the jul
dietary committee. The bill was
drafted in the attorney generals Of
flee and presumably by Mr.. Duffield,
the assistant. So far as can be as
certained, all parties, including the
Colby element, are reasonably salts
fed, and the measure is likely to pass
without much discussion. Governor
Stokes and Senator Colby are under
stood to have read the draft of the
bill in advance and to have given
their approval. The act is:

Senator Jacksoh's bill %tsenate NO.
so to authorize boards of freehold
ers to condemn land required for the
construction or completion of bridges
or approaches thereto and to a for
such lands from the appropriations
for such bridges, was passed on sec
ond reading in the state senate yes
terday. This bill is the result of G.
Pardee's action in serving notice of
resDas uDon the county of Middle
sex thus preventing the contractors
from continuing the work upon the
, bridge approach, as he owns a small
triangular strip of land needed for
the purpose.
The county has been unable to ne
gotiate a purchase of the land, so
condemnation proceedings will have
TO be ~resorted to and this act will
give TO the county the necessary legal
authorization.
Other Bills.
Among the bills introduced in the
lower house We're:
H. No. 175, by Mr.. Burke, prohib-
iting second class cities from chang
ing ward lines oftener than once in

ate bill No. 10, raising the limit of

tary to $4,000.
Among the bills passed on second
reading in the senate was S. No. SO,

Quoted lively sessions for a short
time yesterday and then adjourned

This came in a resolution by Mr.. Mar

commission had been TOO slow in its
work, and requesting it TO report,

airy 10. After some debate the res
olution was adopted. The commits
