ed it would react on the Republican par
ty. He asked if similar amendments had
not been defeated by the Senate earlier
in the evening, but Mr. Reed, trying to
eyade direct reply, stated that lie was
not expected TO know.
Assemblyman Miller also took crack
at the Reed amendments. He said that
if Republican Legislature attempted to
pass such an obnoxious bill with its
amendments it would practically sign the
party's death warrant. as it could never
hope to retain the peoples goodwill with
such heavy load on its shoulder.
DR.. Reed maintained that the amend
ments were only intended to give Fran
els right to appeal and fight for his
rights in court He said that Francis
had been declared elected by the County
Board Of Elections and had received a
commission from the Governor. BY an
unjust and unfair decision of Supreme
Court Justice it was now intended to I'M
seat him, and the amendments which he
(ReeD proposed only gave Francis a
right to retain his office until a higher
court reviewed such Justices decision
When a roll cali was taken the vote
showed % fayoring the amendment and
% against. Many members who did not
like the amendments and feared to go
on record refused to vote. Speaker Rob
bins declared them adopted.
Thus the House is placed in the atti-
tude of adopting amendments which the
Senate defeated by a vote Of nearly three
to one.
The outcome of the fight is awaited
with interest throughout the State.
Many do not believe that Francis will
succeed IN securing the legislation he
seeks.

TRENTON, April 10, l906-It now
looks as if the Bishops high license bill
will be killed in the Assembly owing to
the fact that there will, not be sufficient
time to consider it before sine die adj
journment, which has been fixed for
Thursday. 1t was expected that the bill
would reach the House last night, but at
at late hour it was announced that it
was not in Shape to leaye the Senate un-
til today. President Bradley, it was
stated, had ottsigned it.
Delay is what the brewers are seeking
in hopes of defeating the bill in the As
sembly and are placing all sorts Of OBJ
structions in its path to prevent its in
PRODUCTION there until too late for any
action to be taken upon it before sine die
adjournment. This is their last resort
to defeat the measure
Ex-senator Hinchcliffe, of Paterson,
representing the brewers aud a large
delegation of Hudson County saloon
keepers, We're in attendance at the State
House last night, in expectation that the
bill would. be sent to the Assembly. They
had received a report that the Assembly
leaders had agreed to pass the bill as re
ceived from the Senate withiut reference
to any committee
Leader Perkins quickly put a quietus
on these reports by stating that the bill
would never be passed by the House un-
til it had been carefully considered By. a
committee as it was in the Senate with
view of making certain whether or not
it should be amended. This satisfied the
liquor men and they departed for home
at midnight rejoicing and with the belief
that they still have a chance to defeat
the bill in the House if it should ever be
taken up.
Senator Hillery last night offered an
amendment to Senator Hutchinson's bill
No. 1877, companion to the Bishops
bill, which provides that the bill shall
not apply to towns less than 5000 in
habitants, according to either the last
State or Federal census. The Hillery
amendment was adopted.

twas an animated discussion in the
House last night when Senator McKee's
bill prohibiting the use of automatic shot

1t can be truthfully said, however, that
of all the accused officials who appeared
before Judge Blair for the purpose of
answering the charges against them, not
one seemed to be in IS least worried.
Some of them. as matter of fact, re-
garded the proceeding in anything but a
serious manner. They all went away
happy when Judge Blair directed that
they put their signature to bond guar
anteeing their appearance in Court when
wanted.

George M. Mccarthy has followed the
example of DR.. Dickinson and resigned
from the Health Board. Like DR.. Dick
irson. Mr.. Mccarthy finds that there is
altogether too much politics in this
branch of the municipal government. In
his letter TO the Mayor, Mr.. Mccarthy,
raps the political members of the Health
Board. He declares THAT needed reforms
are impossible under the present condi-
ton of affairs. Rather than sacrifice his
manhood he gave back to the Mayor the
job the latter gave him.

The Diplomatic Dru-GIst.

A certain druggist who does not like
to answer night calls, especially as he
has found by experience that ne of
tends people who call him up at night
by his displeased abrupt manner, has
devised a scheme by which he does not
have to get up and at the same time
does not lose customers. In his own
words he works it this way:
Il disconnect my bell so that it can
not ring. After waiting some time the
person who wants to get in gives it up
as a bad job and goes down the street
to the next store. This man opens for
him, but is naturally very much dis
pleased, and, as usually do, he shows
that he is disgruntled and offends the
customer. Early the next morning the
customer calls at my store to inform
me that my bell is out of order and tells
me what a low opinion he has of the
other druggist, whom be considers a
very impolite man."-New York Times.

Posthumous Libel.

A correspondent of the London Times
raises the point that, while libel upon
a dead man may form the subject of a
criminal prosecution, yet there is no
redress whatever for libel by the dead
upon the living. Thus testator may
so phrase his will as to libel a legatee
and injure him to an extent far in ex-
cess Of his legacy. The writer cites as
an illustration the following beQuest
from an ardent teetotaler to a moderate
drinker: Il give and bequeath to A B.
the sum Of ESQ upon condition that she
signs the pledge" Such condition in
serted in a will, he believes, might do
the lady legatee an amount Of damage
for which ESQ would be but poor COM
pensation, and he submits that in cases
of posthumous libel the executors
should be answerable in damages to the
extent Of the testator's estate.-Law
Notes.

Before people studied nature to learn
the truth and when they delighted in
all sorts of fancies it was claimed that
rings Of fungous growths were caused
by the dancing of fairies, by thun-
derbolt entering the ground or by the
work of moles. Various other equally
absurd explanations have been given.
Now we know that the first fungous
plant growing from spore takes from
the soil under and near it all or most
Of the special food that the plant re-
quires. Only the spores from this plant
that fall just outside the exhausted soil
will find good fungous food, and so the
circle of successive growths widens
because only the spores outside Of the
ring can find food.-St. Nicholas.

Wild Run of an Engine and Thirty

runaway Duluth and Iron Range
freight train, carrying thirty loaded
ore cars, dashed down a hill from
Waldo. Mimi. to Two Harbors, with
out an engine crew, conductor or
brakeman. excepting one brakeman
who feared to jump in the darkness.
He sustained a broken leg and other
injuries Three tramps and possibly
more are dead as a result of their own
carelessness. or ignorance of the work
ing of the air brakes. Twenty five
loaded ore cars are piled up, being a
complete loss.
After the tramps had boarded the
train, at a block station, the air failed
to work at the top of long hill. 1t
is supposed that the tramps in some
manner turned an angle cock. The
engineer and fireman were first to
jump, then the crew began dropping
off. No tramps were seen to leap from
the fast moving train.

Firm Stand of the Lower House of

ST. Petersburg, May 29.-The gov
eminent is in a panic as a result Of
the deliberate defiance of the lower
house of parliament in demanding the
retirement of the ministry At no time
has the danger of a general revolution
been so acute. The action of the lower
house has brought matters to a crisis
and from it's stand there can now be
no retreat. BY declaring it proposes
to exercise full parliamentary rights
with a responsible ministry it has be-
come in the eyes of the law a revolu-
tionary body.
Constant conferences have been held
at Peterhoff, but no definite plan of
action has been determined upon
While recognizing the gravity of the
situation. the car is vacillating as
usual. The bureaucracy is for drastic
action, but there is a strong faction
that still hopes for compromise. The
sentiment of the constitutional demo-
Gratis is voiced by NJ. Kokoshine, who
declares the car must choose between
real constitutional government and
the loss not only of his crown, but his
head as WELL
