In sheep large bones are an unfavor-
able point, as they denote an abstrac-
ton Of nutriment which should other
wise go to the foundation of flesh and
the greater value of the carcass.
The absence of horns is for the same
reason desirable for sheep bred for
mutton. A soft, mellow feeling Of the
skin and the tissue underneath, with
softness of the fleece, is indicative of a
tendency toward the rapid formation
of fat
A round frame and broad loin indi-
cate the existence Of abundant flesh
where it is most desirable, apd a gem
eral squareness of the outline Of the
figure proves the existence Of large
muscular development and heavy quar-
tiers.

THE Legislature passed the bill
creating a Potable Water Supply Com
mission, but no money was appropri-
ated to enable it to begin work. When
it does start it will take charge of all
potable waters in rivers and streams,
and municipalities will be obliged to
buy from the State all in excess of the
supplies now used. The bill provid-
ing for the future building Of an i'm
mense storage reservoir in Passaic and
Morris counties, as recommended by
the Geological Survey, was also passed.
Both measures were advocated by the
Governor in his annual MESSAGE.

THE Board of Education of South
Orange doubted the wisdom of paying
a high school teacher $3.50 a year to
instruct four pupils in Greek, and pro-
posed to eliminate that study from
the course and to use the money to
better advantage. They were met
with an objection from the State
High'School Inspector that the drop
ping of Greek would impair the eff
cheney of the high school system. "
The Board of Education is right. If
there are public school pupils really
anxious to study Greek, it will be
much cheaper to pay their tuition fees
liz a Newark school, and the cost of
transporting them back and forth.
The money had better be used in CIV
ing better facilities to the lower
classes.

HISTORIC MANSION DEMOLISHED
The Williamson Property at Elizabeth
sold to the Governments.

The Williamson Property at Elizabeth
sold to the Government.
Mrs. Emily E. Williamson has sold
The Williamson homestead, corner of
North Broad street and Westfield ave-
nue., Elizabeth, to the government for
post office site, for $4,000.
1t was intended at first to remove
the mansion to another locality, but
it was found impracticable and it will
be torn down.
The house is a familiar old land
mark. Begun in 1897 by Governor
Isaac Fl. Williamson, it was not finish
ed until after 1900. 1t was very solid
ly built of wood filled in with brick,
and is to-day substantial building.
Governor Williamson was governor for
Thirteen years, during which time he
was also Chancellor.
The house is just the same to-day as
it was then, with the exception of the
removal of the wing on the north side,
which was removed by Chancellor
Benjamin Williamson when he erected
the heavy porches on the southern and
eastern fronts of the building. The
two busts on bronze pedestals thai
have stood on either side of the main
entrance to the building have long
marked the residence as one of pecu-
liar interest. The bustS represent
Caesar and his wife, Calpurnia. They
were presented TO Governor William
son by member of the staff of Gen
eral Lafayette after his secondvisit to
America, when he was royalty enter
tanned there. Two similar buSts were
sent by the same man to Bonaparte at
Bordentown. Alexander Hamilton,
who went to school with Governor
Williamson and Washington Irving
were frequent visitors to the house.
The whole front portion of the
second floor is taken up by the law
library of more than $1,000 volumes
the collection of which was begun by
Governor Williamson. 1t contains
many rare and extremely costly works.
Mrs. Williamson said chat she would
sell none of her many valuable treas
ures, but there are few friends to
whom she will be likely to give some
of the more highly priced volumes
from the library shelves

A LITTLE less than year ago the
saloon license fee in Newark was
raised from $3.50 to $500. On Wednes-

the fee to S4O0. There are 1880 Ii

To Save the EIks.

The popularity Of the organization
known as the Elks hashad disastrous
effect on the elks which formerly roam
ed the western forests. These animals
have been hunted and. slaughtered for
their teeth, which are used as watch
charms e M b ema tic of the order.
Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin of the
order has received letter from Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressing the hope
that the order will discourage the use
of elk teeth as emblems or ornaments,
and the grand ruler has issued re-
quest that the use of the teeth be dis
continued. Many lodges have already
taken action, and it is believed that
there will be sudden fall in the de-
mand and in the market prices. The
Order of Elks has membership that
would soon cause elks to disappear if
each member was to have an elk's
tooth dangling from his watch chain
or fastened to his lapel with a pin.

JERoME's PRoN1PTER.
She Is Maize Toilette Who Was Mrs.
Taaw'S Friend.

New York, Feb. 23.-Mazie Toilette,
the chum of Mrs Harry K. Thaw in
the old chorus days. is believed to
have furnished Jerome with much of
the information used in the cross ex-
animation of her old friend on the wit
ness stand.
Probably the most damaging
thing says Jerome, that Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw did as a witness, so far as
she is personally concerned, was her
attack on this former friend
When Mrs. Thaw recited the hap
penings at the midnight suppers in one
of Whites studios she told of wo-
man, who. she said. took rather an
unseemly part in those affairs
Mrs. Thaw whispered the name of
the woman to the district attorney and
the court record shows it to be Maize
Toilette.
When the latter saw the record and
heard what had transDired in court
from the assistant district attorney,
Mr.. Garvan, she gave him information
on vital matters in the case, which she
had hitherto withheld.

actress. was loyal friend of Stanford

or elsewhere. It is believed she knows
much more about Stanford White and
the inner life and secrets of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw than any other person.
1t is now a struggle to blot out the
effect of Evelyn Thaw'S direct tesu-
mony, with Maize Toilette in the back
ground furnishing the material for the
district attorney.
Although Maize Toilette is now no
friend of Evelyn Thaw, it is said she
trial began She has been escorted to
the district attorneys office daily by
county detective since Mrs. Thaw was
called as a witness and has remained
trict attorney, Mr.. Turnbull, which ad-
joins the office of Mr.. Caravan.
Miss Toilette has had frequent con-
situations with Mr.. Jerome and Mr..
in the life of Evelyn Thaw which she
would not discuss under the greatest
persuasion. Her argument was that, as
the friend of Stanford White, she would
aid the state to make answer to any
attacks which might be made upon
him, but she would never volunteer in
ton of Evelyn Thaw about incidents
in which White did not figure.
Maize Toilette is the person to whom
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw wrote the letter
describing her visit to the Dead Rat
cafe in Paris. She it was who furnish-
ed the letter to Mr.. Jerome. She had
received many other letters from Eve
lyn Nesbit, but she did not mention
these to the district attorney or volun-
teer to give them to him until Mrs.
Thaw had testified.
Now every letter received by Maize
Toilette and every letter she has been
a BILE to obtain from other girls in the
chorus has been given TO the district
Miss Toilette was the companion of
Evelyn Nesbit at luncheon and after
theater suppers at which Stanford
White was not present: and she has
supplied the district attorneys office
with names dates and places where
these affairs were held, with her own
version of all the attendant incidents
in which Evelyn Nesbit figured.

FEET FOUND IN A BOX.
They Apparently Had Been Chopped
OF With an AK.

New York, Feb. 23.-The feet and
portions Of the legs of a man or wo-
man were found in a box in a snow
bank in the back yard of tenement
house in Third avenue today. The
legs had been chopped off apparently
with an ak. From the appearance of
the feet and legs it is believed an at
tempt was made to destroy them by
fire before they were placed in the
box and thrown where they were
found. The limbs were taken to
police station and an investigation was
begun. Police Sergeant Mcguire, to
whom the find was reported, said he
is convinced the limbs were cut from
the body of a man. probably an
Italian.
81 suspect the man may have been
murdered and his body cut up in one
of the tenements in the neighborhood.
1t is possible the person who was car
rying the feet to the East river be-
came intoxicated and lost from his
possession this evidence of a crime"
There are no marks either upon the
box or the paper in which the feet
were wrapped that would lead to an
Identification.
