unhappy nun.
But who could it be? The Abbott
Leonard Was inclined to think prob
ably a certain sister Agostina, who
had died a month or two previous and
who had possibly been sent to purga-
tory to temper her disposition, which
had not been most gentle during her
earth-life. During these nine days.
the apparition did not return, and
Sister Maria slept soundly, but on the
tenth night she was awakened by a
mysterious light and found the spec
tre standing by her bed.
"Fear nothing," is said, ''it is on
ly r.
"But who are you?'
"I am Mother Angela Thank the
community in my name for their
prayers. Ny condition has been
greatly ameliorated, though the Or
aisons of some eof the sisters have been
useless because they were offered
with ineredulity. Tell the Abbott
Leonard not to reproach himself. 1t

DAYS of torment, after which | will
be admitted to heaven. But listen,
would you like to save your own soul
and at the same time ease my PAIN by
Isuffering in my stead?'
Sister Maria accepted the penance,
and for nine days remained fasting in
her cell. daily inficting upon herself
severe bodily pains. When a midnight
of the last day came, the devoted
girl lay prostrated on the floor of her
cell, half unconscious, so weak
ened by her fasting and SELF
inflicted tortures that she was
unable to drag herself to bed.
Suddenly the little chamber was I'LL
ed with lurid, unearthly glare, and
she felt a burning hand laid on her
shoulder, and heard a voice which
said:
"Tonight is my last hour in purea-
tory. Thanks to your willingness to
share my suffering, I can already see
afar the opening gates Of Paradise. -
Here Father Jouet closed his story,
while I bent to examine with breath
less interest Sister Maria's scorched
sleeve. There, indeed, in blackened
outlines, was the unmistakeable I'M

TRENTON, March 15.-Miss Agnes
Barton, a pretty girl of Jacksonville,
Fla. is dying in st. Francis's Hospital

ing from septicemia. and the hospital
physicians say that in a few hours the
proposed operation would be too late.
Miss Barton came from the South
about sly weeks ago to visit relatives
in Pennington. While dressing a month
ago she stepped on a tack. She paid
no attention to the matter until a
week later, when she experienced a se-
we're pain in the limb. A physician
found an infected wound. Septicaemia
developed, n last week Miss Barton
was told that she must either submit
to an operation or die. Then let it be
DEATH was her answer.
The patient still persists in abiding
by her first decision, and says that if
any attempt is made to operate on

relatives are here, and have used all
means possible to dissuade her from

mystery. This item includes bonds issued
for new school buildings, many of which
viii be years in the building and VIII Last
fof decades.
Obviously, no such item should be in-
GUIDED in the annual cost Of the schools.
Largely because of the low price of brick,
twice as many buildings were started this
year as in 1906. Interest and sinking fund
charges on the bonds issued to pay FOR the
schools are included In a prior item-that
providing for the district school tax, raised
locally for curfen expenses. Dumping the
bonds themselves into the table is u dupli-
cate entry, as anyone may see, As a matter
of fact, the real cost Of the schools was as
follows:

500, 600; railroad tax, 50. 100000; mills tax,

SO that in 1909 the total expenses Of the
schools will be $7.275,000 less than the Gov
ernor states them to be, II the Legislature

WOULDN'T ALLOW
CHILDREN UNDER IS
To WORK At NIGHT
Only Three OF Seyenty-six Ex-
perts Are in Favor
of 1t.
JERSEY COMMITTEE
CONDUCTED INVESTIGATION
Present Law Placing Age Limit
at Fourteen Is
Opposed.

The results of an Investigation by
The New Jersey Child Labor Commit
ice into conditions of child labor in
the state, with a view to urging the
passage of a bill raising the age for
night work in factories from IA to 16
years, have just been made public by
the committee.
sS~eyenty-three experts OF the teach
ing and care of children, according to
the committee, oppose child labor at
night under the age of 16, while only
three favor it. The eanvass was made
chiefly among educators, but oyerseers
of the poor. probation officers, clergy
men, physicians and a few laymen also
made known their views.
The report says, in part.
THE chief suggestions are as follows: That
discretionary powers be lodged with magis-
tfates and supefintcndents to apply 10
special cases-as families whose poverty
necessitates the employment of the older
children. That vocational or industrial
schools be provided for those who have no
natural facility toward scholarship. Indeed,
many Of the opponents OF the law frankly
state that they would remove all objections
II this measure were taken. That the ge
limit be made 10 years tone suggests l6),
rather than II. even if 1t be increased later.
That the child labor law aye init be raised
10 10 to meet this law, rather than that the
compulsory education law lower its stand
ara 10 conform with tile older and less adj
NKnced statute.
Many solutions. also. are presented for
obvlating hardship 10 families whose
poverty makes the law seem too drastic.
The preponlerance Of opinion seems TO be
to give the magistrats or superintendent
discretionary power. 1t is stated that IN
small towns Individual organized assistance
might rescue the family from the need Of
children's labor.
Therefore. The opinion Of members of the
State child labor COMMITTEE is that the
I1ice law should not he set aside until 1t Is
proved that 1t cannot he adjusted to con-
hitions.
