in the assembly when the bill to re-
peal the inquest law of 1906 was up
for engrossment. Mr.. Jackson
wanted to know why the repeating
measure was favored, as he thought
the law of 1905, requiring the ap-
prevail of the district attorney before
the coroner could hold an inquest,
was a good law and the change pro
posed was in his opinion letting
down of the bars against any justice
of the peace holding an inquest and
causing the county large and unneces-
sary expense. Mr.. Mckenzie vigor-
ously opposed the bill, declaring that
the coroner of his home county.
Waukesha, was one of the coroners
who pressed the measure, and that
they wanted to have power to call and
hold inquests indiscriminateiy so as
to increase their fees. He declared
that the bill, which proposed a return
to the ola system, was an invitation to
grafters to mulct the county. The
judiciary committee had reported the
bill favorably and Chairman Ingram
desired to have it re-referred for
futher consideration, but the as
sembly refused to do SO. and also
killed slight amendment that was
offered. Then it seemed certain that
the bill would be killed su.nmarily
in the absence of its author. Mr. Ban
croft, but finally it was sent back
to the judiciary committee.
No Limit to Damages.
The Bancroft bill eliminating the
restriction that not more than $4,000
may be recovered for damages in case
of death by accident was advanced.
This bill would make railroads liable
to damages of fair amount as deter
mined by trial regardless OF whether
the injury caused death or not. AS
the law now is it infrequently is not
to the disadvantage of the railroad
companies to kill instead of simply
to MAIN.
Another Socialist Resolution Killed.
The Thompson resolution for leg
islative investigation of the liquor
traffic, involving the definition of the
saloon as the poor mans club" was
killed, after the author had explained
that he thought that insufficient in
formation was available at present to
enable intelligent dealing with this
great problem.

but desire to correct an item we in
advertantly published last week,
which might get some one into trou-
bic We stated that the law for
catching oysters went out of force
at the end of this month. This we
believe is a mistake; as the laws
were made uniform, and that the

the last session of the legislature.
In New Jersey the law opens in Sep

ONE thing can be truthfully said
of the teachers in our schools at the
present time, and those employed
for the ensuing year, that their daily
walk and conversation, and their
moral lives are such as to form a
good example for their pupils. Our
pupils can safely follow the exam
pie of the teacher. "When the roll
is called up yonder" the teachers of
our schools can llanswer" present.
Good morals and good manners are
taughtin our schools and the worthy
example set by our present corps of
teachers has a great influence in
moulding the character Of the youth
of our city.

a promoter Of friendship and good

different sects that they realize their

A VISIT to Willow Grove last Sat
urday night in Philadelphia, i'm
pressed us with the fact, that the
whole success of that beautiful
amusement resort, is in the fact,
that there is not drop of intoxicat-
ing liquor sold at that place. OF
the great crowd of more than twenty
five thousand present, there was not
one act or word, to offend lady, and
the beautiful scene was pleasure to
the people of that city, to be enjoyed
by the whole family without the
unpleasant brawls which follow in
places where even beer is sold.
That one resort forever refutes the
assertion that itrequires the stimulus
of liquor, to make public AMUSEMENT
places a success. In no other city
we know of is there such another
place as Willow Grove there, the
people hear the finest music, partake
of all the amusements seen else
where, and witness some of the
grandest display of scenery found
anywhere. If liquor were sold at
Willow Grove, its success would
not be possible.

THAT was enough to set in motion
the friendly entertaining spirit of
Heart Throbs, and the music was for
