Lolita Armour Not Cured.

The return of the little daughter of }.
Ogden Armour, Lolita, for the second time
to the Vienna hospital of Prof. Lorenz
gives color to the report that the famous
operation performed in this country in
1903, which made so much talk about
bloodless surgery, has not turned out sue
cessfully. DR.. Shaffer of the Cornell med
ical school, who was with Lorenz in this
country, now admits as much. Neverthe-
less, he says, this is no criterion OF the
Lorenz method for. to his personal knowl-
edge, three operations performed hat

lief. Statistics indicate that the cures
have been about 20 per cent.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY Is,
A GOOD NIGHTS WORK.

The school board did Il good
nights work in securing land for
more school room. Nothing speaks
louder of the progress of Perth AM
boy than the constant demand for
more schools. The children, which
the now crowding these buildings,
are our future citizens. They will
have to solve the knotty problems
which now confront the city fathers
of today. Therefore it is the duty of
the city to educate and train them
that they might be the better pre-
pared.
In connection with the purchase of
a site at Fairview, a district west of
the hospital, it is interesting to note
that thirty-five years ago, when land

lie school site, where No. l now
stands, some citizens opposed it Bit
terly, claiming the location was 100
far out in the country. If any n
in that day had ventured the sug-
gestion that some then living would
see the day when a school house
would be built far out the New
Brunswick turnpike, he would have
been pronounced out of his mind.
Realizing this wonderful change,
pause a moment and consider what
may happen within the next thirty
five years.

The Cause of Our
Present Prosperity
BY Ex-consres,man JEFFERSON NJ. LEVY of New York

\Y HE financial situation at the present time is due to the ex-
traordinary prosperity of ourcountry. Everything for the
last ten years has tended toward the present IA of advanc-
ing prices, which is nothing more or less than an UP
HEAVAI. Our enormous crops, the production OF our
mines and the continued demand upon us from all sections of the
world for our products constitute the basis for this great prosperity.
We have been continually increasing our per. capita 9f money, but not
to the extent that the BUSINESS COMMUNITY requires. The
recent lack of supply of loanable funds was due to some extent, I re-
greet to say, to the lack of confidence in the south and west in the good
faith of the management of our great financial institutions.
The extraordinary demand for securities O the New York Stock
Exchange as well as the general advance in the prices obtained for
real estate ALMOST EVERYWHERE can be traced to the fact
that for many years IL railroads have been expanding vast sums of
money upon improvements and paying moderate dividends. The
roads are now approaching a point where a larger distribution can be
paid to their STOCKHOLDERS; therefore ii It's safe to say that many
securities which may look high at the present time will realize a larger
return in the near future. The whole world is now turning toward
us for investments, as they consider this the safest field to invest in.
The next ten years bid fair to be a golden III and one of prosperity
to the whole world, as we arc surely nearing the time when the differ
ent nations of the world will be PERMANENTLY AT PEACE
with one another and the great armies that now exist will be supplanted
by armies of mechanics, farmers and traders competing with each
other for the business of the world.
Our problem as to the currency at the present timeought to be
seriously taken up by congress, which should give us a currency that
will work with more elasticity for the benefit of the financial and bust
ness community. A system somewhat on the plan Of Canada would be
better than our present system. Congress ought also to adopt a liberal
policy in aid of our shipping interests, for it is disgraceful that a great
nation like ours should fail to have its flag flying in every port of the
world. Our products should be carried in OUR OWN bottoms.

The new borough of Roosevelt in

THE BRIDGE HEARING.

That was an interesting hearing
before Col. Livermore, of the war de-
partment, in New York yesterday.
Many arguments were brought out,
but it remained for Director Pownall,
of the Board of Freeholders, to bring
the people back to their senses with
the statement that the river had been
closed by the ice before the bridge
was built and that the past two win
tiers should not be taken as a sample
of what it would always be.
There has been so much discussion
on the subject and it has always
been in reference to the bridge inter-
fering with navigation on account OF
the ice hat some people have come
to believe that ice eve made rou
Bile in the Raritan river before the
county bridge was built. There has
hardly been a winter, however, when
navigation has been kept open all the
time and it is safe to say that there
would not have been any more traf-
fc on the Raritan during the past two
winters, when the weather was so Sc
we're, with the bridge away than there
was with it built.
1t looks as if there was some per-
sonal motive back of all this agitation
and it is high time to uncover the
woodpiIe and find the niger"
The war department cannot insist
upon the rebuilding of the bridge up
on entirely different plans without
stamping its own officials as incompe-
tent to judge the proper kind of a
bridge for a stream. The department
officials approved the present plans
and now to declare them unfit is to
admit that the engineers of the gov
crnment do not know their business
and are entirely out of their class in
the responsible positions which they
hold. To condemn a new bridge af-
ter the people have spent about
$3.50, 900 on it and after having told
them to proceed, is a serious matter
and should not be treated lightly.
The request of the freeholders that
two years be allowed to give the
structure a fair test is reasonable and
should be granted. Everybody real

holders intend to correct the evil as
soon as possible, but they should be
given a chance. Let the bridge be
open for traffic and then plan the
remedies necessary to make it a thor
oughly %up-to-date structure, There
has been so much talk and so much
money spent that the people would
like to get some use out Of the struc-
ture. Once open they will not be
satisfied with it and the alterations
will follow in the natural course of
events.

WOman's Proper
Place In the Home

@VERY normal young man anticipates marrying a wife, rear
ing a family and ESTABLISHING A HOME. And we
have arrived at such an age of enlightenment that not only
may a young man have the absolute choosing of his own
wife, but the Young woman herself has some little to say regarding her
choice of a husband, though even in the United States she has not yet
attained to that DEGREE of freedom in the matter that will be hers
as the world progresses. The word "obey" in the marriage service and
the giving away of the daughter by the parents are relics of the bar
barous. time when a young woman had nothing to do with her marriage
but to acquiesce i'll the arrangements MADE FOR HER BY
OTHERS.
A young man who chooses a wife who does not understand the
duties Of domestic life is making a mistake, and that a wQman is not al
ways versed in these matters is often because domestic service is not
regarded as honorable as other service, and until it is taught in the
schools as a vocation, until it is confined to regular hours and those
following it are REGARDED AS HUMAN BEINGS, with rights
as imperative as the rights of the followers of any other VOCATION ~
takes will continue to be made. A young woman should ~
band to succeed in life and should have the good sense
how to accomplish this and not to feel called upon to write TDoR
the house should be kept in order and home duties discharged. -
SHE SHOULD HAVE A CORRECT COMPREHENSION OF THE
PROBLEMS OF LIFE AND THE ETERNAL FITNESS OF THINGS.

The Universe Is Made Up
OF a Series of Vibrations
By MARTHA CRAIG. Explorer ana Hlectrici.n

Z E are all full of vibrations. The entire world, the universe,
is made up of these vibrations, and when we can by con-
~ slant study attain the thought THAT WILL CON
TROL THESE VIBRATIONS, then we will be able to
dissolve ourselves at will, and there will be no such thing as DEATH.
Everything is evoluting.
After going through several colleges and studying science for ff-
teen wears, | have arrived at the conclusion that Newton's theory of
gravitation is entirely wrong. 1t is not attraction that pulls things
down to the earth; t is propulsion that PUSHES THEM DOWN..
That is one thing which I have proved and which l told several Italian
scientists who are now working upon my theory. 1t was while making
this discovery that I found out that death was a mistake.
We ought to draw in sufficient electric flame to DISSOLVE our
bodies. / believe in reincarnation. I've lived in this world before,
and I'm going to come back again. When I go I'll go surrounded by
a fame of fire. That's our destiny. We can begin to get ready any
time we make up our minds to.
We all know that if we put a dead body into a cylinder in the
crematory it disappears ENTIRELY. That is done by heat.
Heat is only a fourth rate power, and when we know that the i'm
mortal, everlasting power of the soul is 4 greater than heat we ought to
know that when we learn to control this power WE CAN DO
AWAY WITH DEATH.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

No II can help from blushing
with shame to think that Robert H.
McCarter holds the honored Office of
attorney-generaI of New Jersey when
he reads the speech made by that Of
fetal before the East Orange Repub-
lican club on Monday night. Here is
a sample Of his remarks: AS for
reformers, / have no use for them.
For me the Republican party, which
has withstood the shock and calumny
and the attacks Of the demagogue,
and through it all has stood like a
rock, is good enough for me. Re
formers are iConoClasts. They hear
their voices crying in the wilderness
and thing it is the defamation OF

party has no place or no use" With

there any need of questioning the
need Of more Colbys.-Plaintield

lily connections of Mr.. MCCarter. We
