A man disagreed with the opinion
of the Herald and stopped his paper
And some people thought this was
sign on the wall-the paper was losing
prestige. Why bless your soul, the
Herald loses subscribers every day,
and every day it gets subscribers. In
fact the starts and stops in the sub
scription department of any news
paper are as regular as the coming and
going of the ocean tide. The man.
agement of the paper never know why
man stops the paper or why he
starts it. 1t is in the regular order of
business, and is thing that happens
every day in the week We never
worry about it, but expect it to go on
as long as papers are published.
When man orders his paper stopped
it stops as far as he is concerned and
he is deprived of it, but the paper
goes right on coming out with per-
sistent regularity And the Herald cir
culation is always gaining steadily
The circulation is larger now than it
was two weeks ago, and it will be
larger next week than it is this, not
withstanding some people will stop

is worse crime than first degree
murder, and the man or woman who
wilfully assails the good name of a
neighbor should be sent to jail-at

MOtOrman Weeps When Little
Victim Is Removed to a

Samuel Siegman, 9 years old, of 27l
Bank street. attempted to run across
the street in front of his home yester-
day afternoon as an Orange a came
along. The child got frightened and
stood still on the tracks. He was picked
up by the fender. The motorman put
on the emergency brakes, but before
the car stopped the boy rolled off the
fender and went under the front truck.
The lad began screaming Justify. The
car was crowded, and when the pas
sengers heard the cries under their
feet they rushed out. After much diff
Guilty the boy was taken out through
the floor of the car and sent to the City
Hospital.
At the hospital it was found that one
arm was broken and that the victim
was badly bruised about the face and
body. While his wounds are consid-
cred serious, it is believed that he
will recover unless some of his inter-
/ mai organs have been injured.
According to those who saw the ac-
cident no blame is attached to the
motorman, as they say he did every
thing thai he could to prevent it. Wher
the boy was taken away the motormar

Harry L. Borden. shot herself in the
heart last night as the result of grief.
Death was instantaneous. Three causes

her mother was dying of consumption
and disappointment over the placing of
her two sisters with an uncle in Allan
