An Ode 10 the jug Of Mhiskey.

Within these earthen wall confined
There turks the ruin of all human kind
More mischiefs here united dwell.
Than may be found except in he'll.
Within these prison walls repoSe.
The seeds of many a bloody nose;
The chattering tongue. the horrid oath.
The fist for fighting. nothing loath.
The nose with diamonds glowing red.
The bloodshot eye. the broken head;
Forever fastened be this door.
Confined within a thousand more
Destructive fiends of hateful shape,
Fen now are planning escape.
Here only by a cork controlled.
And slender walls of earthen mold;
In all their pomp of death reside;
Revenge that ne'er satisfied;
The tree that bears the deadly fruit.
OF manning murder and dispute
Assault that innocence assails.
The immage of most gloomy jails;
The giddy thought on mischief bent.
The evening hour in folly spent.
All these within this jug appear.
With Jack. the hangman. in the rear.
Thrice happy he. who. early taught.
By nature ne'er this poison sought;
He with the pearly stream content.
The beverage quan's that nature meant
In reasons scale his actions weighed.
His spirit wants no foreign aid.
Long life is his in vigor passed.
Existence welcome to the last;
spring tnat never yet grew stale
Such virtue lies in Adams ale.

DAYS FOR
SAYING "IT'S
VERY SNOWY"
Aade Observation to Woman
Who Didn't Know Him.
Said Other Things.

Otto Won Nuinnberger. or Won Eben-
hauser, of 224 Walnut street, arrested
in the Third Precinct this morning,
charged with insulting Mrs. Mary zeh.
of 1853 Adams street, was sentenced to
thirty days in the penitentiary by
Judge Howell. He was arrested by
Patrolman Gray at Prospect and Con-
gress streets when the incident &C.
cured.
Mrs. Zeh told the judge how she had
been going to h store with her little
boy when she passed Otto. who re
marked hat 1t was very snowy" She
agreed it was that, and went on, but
the man followed her and twice made
insulting remarks, she said. The second
time she became so enraged that she
attempted to get a snow-shovel away
from a standing near, but saw
the policeman and summoned him.
In the station-house the man refused
to give his name, age or n inforna-
ton about himself, but when he was
taken to the court Judge Howell con
WINGED him that it would be better for
him to comply with his request. While
Otto was waiting to be taken away he
pounded the walls and shook the door
until exhausted.
1t is thought that he is the same man
who has ~accosted several women and
young girls in the same manner and
place recently.

LOSING
FIGHT WITH
DOUMA
Councils Chief
Declares Navy Borders
on Anarchy.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 24.-The
conflict between the Emperor and the
Douma over the naval program, which
entails an expenditure of $500, 000, 900,
is steadily developing in a direction UNI
favorable to the realization of the EN-
peror's ambitions.
The scheme which M. Kokovsoff, the
minister of finance, privately declared
spelled ruin to Russian finances, has
met opposition in unexpected quarters.
At a meeting of the Council of Imperial
Defense, under the presidency of Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, repre-
sentatives of the army opened a regular
campaign against the program.
The grand duke himself declared
that the navy was in an a~narchical
state and a hotbed of mutinies, UNI
worthy to be entrusted with such enor
NOUS sums for new construction.
The cabinet, which almost unani-
mously opposes the naval program, has
privately passed the hint among the
Conservatives in the Douma, encourag-
ing the, fullest discussion against the
program in order to influence the EN-
peror, whose, mind has hitherto ap-
peared to be set on its fulfilment.
The Emperor is preparing a discourse
in favor of the program, which he
will deliver before an audience of Oc-
toberists early in February.

NO DROP IN ANTHRACITE
COAL PRICES FOR APRIL?
Operators Are Considering Plan to
Maintain Rate Unchanged-Min-
ing 1t More Expensive.

NEW YORK. Jan. 24-Anthracite coal
interests are considering the maintenance
of anthracite coal at present prices, in
stead of following the custom OF recent
years and reducing the rates by fifty cents
a ton on April L.
An official Of one OF the anthracite coal
roads is quoted as saying that while the
rlan OF reducing the price OF coal on April
l and advancing 1t ten cents. IA ton per
month for five months following was in
tended to distribute the production and
marketing OF coal ms nearly as possible
over the entire year. II has not had that
effect. Buyers, II. was said. hold back
their orders after the first of the year aud
then enter the market with a rush on
April l.
Moreover" the official is quoted as say
lug, quite apart from, this consideration,
It Is true that the mining Of coal IS be-
coming more expensive from year to year,
nnd has reached Il point where perhaps the
coal roads wonld he justihed in abandon
ing the reduction in price which has Gus
tomarily been made on April /, and in
maintainins coal at one price throughout
the YEAR,

JAIL RATHER
THAN HELP
His WIFE
M'Tassney's Choice When
Given Alternative 81 Hid
in Mothers Home.

Rather than pay his wife So a week,
as ordered by Judge Howell in the
First Criminal Court today. Leonard
McTassney, arrested at the home of
his mother, 70 Bergen street, last night,
went to Jail this morning. McTassney
was ordered to furnish a bond of $500
to insure the payment of the money
to his wife and child, but said he'd
go to Jail rather than pay his wife any
thing. He was taken to jail.
A warrant was issued for McTass-
ney's arrest in 1904, but he fled to New
York. Shortly afterwards a son was
born to his wife. Efforts to locate
McTassney since that time met with
little result. The warrant was renewed
in September, and has been in the
hands of Court officer Eckerlein. Last
night he received word that McTassney
was visiting his mothers house.
Accompanied by Mrs. McTassney, he
went there. Eckerlein went inside and
began a search for the a He found
him in a closet bundled up in rags.
Eckerlein succeeded in getting him out
by the hair of the head. The family
interfered when the officer attempted
to take McTassney out of the house.
Two of the prisoners sisters tainted,
and a brother locked the door on h
policeman and hid the key. McTass-
ney was, finally arrested. He pleaded
guilty today to a charge of non-sup-
port. His wife is now supporting her
self by working in a photograph gal

OUT OF WORK.:
TRIES TO END
His LIFE
Schuld Turns on Gas in
Boarding House, but
Policeman ReScueS Him

But for the good judgment exercised
by Policeman Thelan, of the First Pre-
cinct station, last night, George Schuld,
2S years old, down and out and suffer-
ing from a slight attack of pneumonia,
might have succeeded in taking his
W life by asphyxiation in a furnished
room at the boarding house of Mrs.
James Clark, at 167 Washington street.
Schuld is now lying i'll at the City Hos
pital suffering from the effects of gas
taken with suicidal intent. Had not
Policeman Thelan worked over the
young man when he found him I'M
conscious in his room the physicians
think hat death would have resulted.
Thelan was sent to the house last
night, following a telephone message
notifying the police that there was a
sick man in his, room at the mentioned
address. When Thelan got there he
found tina the family was afraid to go
into Schuld's room. He quickly broke
in the door, and, detecting the odor of
gas, threw open the window. He or
dered one of the family to telephone at
once for the police ambulance, while he
took Schuld, who was unconscious, and
put his head out of the window in an
effort to revive him. AS the police am
bulance came up the street Thelan had
succeeded in restoring the young man.
Sohuld was. taken to the City Hos
pital in the ambulance. He declared
that he was out of work, with no
money, and, feeling i'll, decided that he
did not care to live. Captain Ryan, of
the First Precinct. will make n conn
plant against Schuld as soon as he
is ready to leave the hospital, charging
him with attempting to commit suicide.

PAPER CONCERN WANTS
RESTRAINT ENDED.
Delawanna Bleachery Had Worthen &
Aldrioh Co. Fined for Contempt.
Seeks Relief in Chancery.

Judge William /. Lewis, of Paterson,
and Assemblyman Henry C. White
head, of the law firm of Whitehead &
Moore, of Passaic, appeared for Wor-
hen & Aldrich in the final hearing
against the White Spring Paper Com
pany before e-Chancellor Howell to-
day in Vice-Chancellor Stevens's
chambers.
The case has been in Chancery since
February, 1906, and in the meantime
the defendant company has been adj
judged guilty of contempt and fined
$50. A second application was made by
the complainant for another Judgment
of contempt, but his. was denied by
Wice-Chancellor Stevens, before whom
the application was made, for what the
vice-chancellor termed ".Iack Of proofs
The Worthen & Aldrich Company is
engaged in bleaching cotton goods, and
Is known as the,D elawanna Bleachery.
When the compliments decided to
locate at Delawanna they purchased
seventy-one~ acres of land. In conduct
ing the bleachery it is necessary to
have a supply of clean water, and IT.
was to. secure this that the seventy-one
acres of land was purchased.
A stream known as the '"Third
River a large canal and a pond
known as "Yantacaw Pond" were
located on the property.
The b~leachery vas located on this
land in 1896, and the water from these
three supplies me all the expectations
of the Worthen & Aldrich people.
In 1906 the defendants, the White
Spring Paper Company, leased the
building known as the ''old Kingsland
paper MILL" and located 1000 feet
southwesterly- of the c~omplainants'
bleachery. Some time after the defend
ants started cooperate their plant the
compliments discovered that their
canal, the "Third River" and the
"Yantacaw Pond" were being polluted
by leaks from the paper mill.
This pollution, 1t is claimed, de-
stroyed the usefulness of the water,
and the mill machinery, as we'll.
In February, 1906, Worthen & AL
drich, through their counsel, secured an
order of restraint against the defend
ants from Vice-C Chancellor Stevens.
This order was disobeyed, and an APP
plication was made asking the defend
ants to show cause why they should
be. adjudged guilty of contempt of
court. At the hearing of this point
the defendants were found guilty and
fined $50.
According to the complainants' bill
the pollution was reviewed again and a
application was made to place
the defendants in contempt, but this
failed, and the defendants asked that
the restraining order be discharged.
and the. hearing was set down for to-
day.

wood, who came to Newark this morning.
The woman for whom Lockwood gave
;his life was saved, but Lockwood was not
heard of again.
