The avidity with which Korean young
men turn to the Y. NJ. c. A. would ndi
cate, even to a superficial observer that
conditions here are extraordinary. The fact
is the young Korean, who has been sitting
on his heels for centuries in self-satsfied
idleness and an Ignorance inconceivable to
a westerner, is being rudely awakened He
is beginning to realize that his head and
his hands must be trained, and that he
must learn how to hustle So the educa-
tional classes of the Y. NJ. c. A. which are
chiefly industrial and commercial, are over
crowded, the enrolment being 56S, with the
present inadequate equipment. An illus
tration of the practical bent of the asso-
cations methods is found in the fact that
it is teaching plumbing to prepare young
Koreans for places as soon as the new city
water system is established. Twice a week
lectures, which might be styled general
information are given to audiences of
more than thousand men, hundreds be-
ing commonly turned away. This Y. NJ. c.
A. really stands for civilization to the be-
indebtedness youth. 1t is even teaching
them how to use their bodies in physical
exercise and sport.

Thaw during the session asked,
through his counsel, for five minute

THAW LISTENS TO TESTIMONY.
Then he solemnly walked back to his
chair in court without a word of 'ex-
PLANTATION to anybody.
When a keeper brought the news of
this to District Attorney Jerome the
prosecutor grinned significantly and
made few notes for future reference
After fencing for two days with DR..
Evans, the New Jersey alieiiist Dis

mission from the witness that may
serve as an opening wedge to the an
ticipated inquiry into Harry Thaw,s
sanity. Dr. Evans under I'll fire of
questions said that he believed Harry
Thaw was suffering from adolescent
insanity on the night of June 25, 1906,
when he shot Stanford White
This admission appeared to please
District Attorney Jerome and Assist
ant District Attorney Garvan. They
hold that adolescent insanity is pro-
gressive and that IL Thaw was insane
on June %, 1906 he is insane at the
present time.
Dr. Evans qualified his statement
with the information that adolescent
insanity is a passing infiction; that he
has had patients who suffered from it
at night and betrayed no trace of it
the next morning But the district at
torney and his alienists rubbed their
hands and nodded TO each other as
though DIR. Evans opinion of the mem
tai condition of Harry Inaw was in
line with their own theories.
During the greater part of the ex-
animation he seemed desirous to have
DR.. Evans unqualifiedly admit that
Thaw suffered from paranoia. which
is practically incurabie. Again he
brought from the witness the opinion

knew that revolver was an instru-

into human body would produce
death. Finally the prosecutor wanted

like Nimat, of sHerDert street, was
Id under $500 bail by Recorder
'ickersgill this morning to await the
action of the grand jury on charge
of threatening to kill and also for
breaking the plate glass window In
Gabriel Balassas saloon at 33S Smith
street, last night. Balassa appeared
against Nimat this morning and said
that the man and two or three com
panions were in his place drinking
at 11:45 O'Clock last night. Balassa
said he told them to leave as 1t was
nearly midnight. They refused and
the saloon keeper used force. In tell
ing his story this morning baiassa
said that they had no sooner got out
side when large stone came through
the plate glass window and shattered

The saloonkeeper telephoned the
police and Patrolmen Andrew Jensen
and Hanson went to the place. The
men were gone, but Balassa said he
knew where one of them lived. The
trio proceeded to the brick house on
Herbert street, where Nimat was
placed under arrest. He was covered
with blood and gave the police con-
siderable trouble in placing the hand
cuffs on his wrist. The other men
could not be found so Nimat was taxi

where the cut in his head was dress
ed. Nimat, this morning, did not know
how he received the cut. He was
taken to New Brunswick on the $40

is a total wreck and it is estimated
that the damage is about $75. The
identity of the other men is not
known, but they may also be arrested
if their names can be learned.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 2:--Jo-
seph Lengel, an amateur detective,
who acquired fame by capturing a
murderer, died at the Wells Memoir
ial Hospital here yesterday of self
inflicted wounds. The man cut his
throat Tuesday while being detained
at police headquarters on charge Of
defrauding local Hungarians.
Lengel was an employee in local
factory until he got the detectives
ambition. When Frederick Lang
shot and killed Katie Gordon, the
young woman who rejected his love.
and then fled, the county offered $500
for his capture. Lengel learned from
some of Lang's friends that the youth
had gone west and he followed him.
Sheriff Church supplied him with the
necessary funds.
Lang, however, got away from him.
Lengel came back to this city, and
one night last summer ran across
Lang in Hungarian saloon. Lang
invited him to have drink and Len
gel slipped the handcuffs on the man
dramatically and marched him of to
Jail. He was a big man among the
Hungarians from that night.
Lengel went crazy Thursday night
in his ward and became very violent.
His strength haA returned and he got
out of bed. He was forced back and
strapped down.
With the strength of maniac he
broke his bonds and got up again. It
was all the attendants could do to
keep him from getting away
Word was sent to the police sta-
tion and Officer Robinson was sent up
to guard the detective. Yesterday af-
ternoon Officer Delaney took up the
task. Lengel seemed to be crazed
because he had apparently failed to
accomplish self-destruction. A close
watch was put on him and he had
been put in a straitjacket

History of the Company.

The company was organized March

over twenty-five charter members.
At that time the city purchased a
truck for them and hose jumper,
which is now kept as a treasure by
the Exempt Flremens Association.
The company prospered from the be-
ginning and was the leading organi-

WHERE THERE is SO MUCH
SMOKE THERE is ALWAYS
SOME FIRE.

When people talk about one thing
the discovery that created so much
newspaper comment in Richmond and
other cities during the past summer,
even though many reports may be ex-
aggerated there must be some merit
in the discovery and when people
spend their money for a thing and
then buy more of it, proof of merit
is so convincing that it becomes the
duty of every person in need of Root
Juice. to go to Luken's drug store and
get a bottle of this much talked of
remedy. Root Juice cures rheumatism
and catarrh because it puts the filter
ing machines of the body to work and
causes them to filter the impurities of
the blood. Root Juice cures stomach
and bowel troubles because it removes
irritated and liberated conditions from
the mucous Innings and causes a nat
ural flow of digestive fluids. Root
Juice is so good for female weakness
because it tones and heals the organs
that make and filter blood.
Good. rich blood will nourish and
strengthen every weak part OF the
body Root Juice at Luken's drug
