nd KEEp rHE STREETS IN REpAIR.

That wheel tax proposed in Chicago
is based on right principles. The
streets must be kept in repair, and he
proposition is hat the vehicles that
wear out the pavements must a the
cost of repairing them. This is in aq-
cordance with the rules of equity and
justice.
Under the act that authorizes the
tax the city ordinance provides for a
specified tax on different classes of
vehicles, in proportion to their capacity
to damage pavements, and ranges
from IS to ss5 a year, ach vehicle,
whether the horse be the motive power
or the vehicle be an automobile, to be
licensed, with suitable graded penal
ties. The estimates that these licenses
will yield a evenu of over $500, 600
a year may be rather sanguine. but
even short of hat the income ought
to be ample to keep the streets in
prime condition.
1t stands to reason that what tears
up the street should be responsible for
putting it in good condition again. If
every vehicle shall be made to do this
the problem of city street repairing
win be solved. Chicago's experiment
will be watched with interest by the
cities that have wrestled long with this
problem. That portion of the public
that never helps to wear out the street
pavement will be pleased to be re-
leased from h tax required TO keep
1t in condition.

THE ORANGE MURDER SUSPECT.

More by good luck than good man
agement the negro accused of the muir
der of Frederick r. Romer, the Orange
undertaken, has been apprehended in
the slums Of Philadelphia, and will be
returned to this county to undergo
trial. The circumstances point strong
ly to his guilt. He had been employed
in the hotel where the murder was
committed; he disappeared from Or
ange Immediately after the murder,
and he pawned in Philadelphia a valu-
able diamond ring worn by the victim.
The murder was characteristic of the
brutal criminal class, to which the sus-
pect belongs. He has done time for a
crime, and, perhaps, if his record
were known, he is guilty of other and
graver crimes. The murder done in
Orange was not the work of a novice
in crime, but of a man hardened and
brutalized by crime. If the guilt of the
prisoner shall be established in his
trial his shrift should be short indeed.

DOCTORS STUDY HER MANIA
FOR SWALLOWING NEEDLES

The penchant for swallowing needles,
which is likely to cost Mrs. Mollie
Dressler her life, is exciting the inter-
est of surgeons. not only in America,
but in Europe. Fully conscious of the
danger of the practice and apparently
careless of the pain, she persists in
taking needles, and mas to be closely
watched. One day when the doctors
of the Fordham Hospital, New York,
were giving her a %hypodermic injection
she endeavored to seerete the needle
of the syringe in order to swallow it
when no one was looking.
No reason can be given for her
mania, although at one time it VAS
thought that matrimonial troubles had
caused her to choose this method Of
suicide. When she first appeared at
the Fordham Hospital, on October "a,
last year. she said that she was unmar
ried. It has since been discovered that
she has a husband and is separated
from him, and that she used to live
at 724 Washington m
The first operation upon Mrs. Dress
Ter took place on October 80, last year,
at the Fordham Hospital. A number
of needles We're removed from her body
by DIR. Alexander Nicholl. They had
been there for some time, and were
so badly rusted that it was impossl-
BILE TO tell how many there had been
originally.
on November 90 she returned to the
hospital and complained that the pains
had not been fully removed. She was
sure, she said, that some needles had
pot hpan diqenvarQd and she asked the
surgeons to operate again. They did
SO, and found more needles.
But when Mrs. Dressler appeared a
third time. on January 10 of this year,
s~sith the same story, they began te be
suspicious. II occasionally happens
that q patient gets to fike operations,
strange as It seems. acquiring what Is
known as operation fever. Mrs.

by found that, instead of reducing the
symptoms the treatment seemed to ac-
centuate them.
He was thus forced to the conclu-
sion that. instead of the disease arising
from a lack of secretion, there was a
likelihood Of oversecretion, due to dis
eased blood vessels in the gland.
This conclusion opened up the posi-
bility of using the knife to cut away
the diseased portion of the gland and
thereby gave opportunity for new blood
vessels to form.
Selecting the worst case in the asy-
lum, DR.. Owensby last July performed
the operation. The throat was opened
and the diseased portion of the gland
removed. The case was kept under
close observation at the asylum for a
period of two months, without the
slightest indication of a return Of
symptoms.
Last october the case was dismissed,
and the latest report made by the
visiting physician of the asylum was
to the effect that the man had secured
employment and was doing intelligent
work.
-Four other cases were operated upon,
and three of these showed the same re-
turn to intelligence, without the slight
est relapse having occurred since then.
The exception was a case extremely
far advanced.

The Nagging woman.

The potentially pernicious activity of a
woman's tongue has been noted from the
beginning Of history and numberless are
the proverbs in which since the days of
Solomon it has been recorded and de-
nounced. Thousands, yes, millions Of men
live In dread of the scolding which is per-
p~etually going on with varying degrees of
intensity under the family roof tree. of
the complaining to which in their leisure
moments they are expected and required
to give a sympathetic attention. In days
when manners We're more primitive and
therefore ruder than they are now, the
husband thus tormented was empowered
by law to apply a simple but temporarily
effective remedy. He could in England
beat his exasperating spouse with a stick
not thicker than his thumb, the limitation
showing, as Blackstone in his Common
taries remarks. the tender kindness of the
English common law, or in very bad cases
the ducling stool was available.
These rough remedies nave been dis
carded. but the occasion for them remains.
and that is why it is to be hoped that
Judge Pollard's new ~anti-nagging pledge
may have as much success as the anti
drinking pledge of the same authorship.
If every wife whose conscience accuses her
We're to sign and keep the anti-nagging
pledge the average of domestic happiness
would be appreciably raised and King
alcohol would receive another staggering
Observation-Disclosures Inquirer.
