One of Mr.. Norton's Red Foxes.

to keep the foxes in and to keep other
animals out. Six Enclosures thus
formed cover about one and a half
acres of ground. and in each of them
is kennel built of wood and set deep
into the earth serving as a nursery
and as a den for the foxes in winter.
AT first few of the foxes escaped by
burrowing down under the fence, but
Norton stopped this by carrying the
wire down from four to eight feet to
the solid ledge. The whole farm has
been allowed to grow up with rank
grass and weeds, so that it resembles
the native haunts of the fox in the
wildwood. and Norton's stock Goes not
seem to realize that it is Ewing in
captivity
On the farm are common red foxes
from the woods of Maine, blue foxes
from Alaska; silver grays from Prince
Edward island, and blacks from Ohio
The reds are the commonest and least
valued of foxes; blues are worth
more, but the silver grays and the
blacks are the aristocrats. AS a mat
ter of fact, the black and the silver
gray are the same breed, silver gray
being a black with a sprinkling of
gray hairs. The black fox pelt is
among the most valuable of furs. fine
specimens frequently bringing $500 to
$780, while in several instances as
high as $1,000 to $1,000 has been paid.
Norton had not been long in the
business when he made the impor-
!ant discovery that it is possible to
Reproduce black and silver gray foxes.
Naturalists say that these rare speci-
mems are simply freaks of nature, be-
ing liable to appear among the com
nond reds at any time, while their
progeny is more than likely to wear
he plebeian red coat. Norton has
discovered, however, that by inbreed-
ing it is possible, in the course of
time, to eliminate the red and pro-
luce the genuine black variety He
bought an Ohio black fox, paying $500
Tor it, and this he bred with a com
mon Maine red, then bred their
progeny together. and so on. Thus
tar he has met with f1attering success,
y and he feels confident that his sue
cess will continue. Last year he sold
q pair of black foxes bred on his farm
for $500. and now has a family of
four, which he values at $1,000
The foxes are fed with scraps of
meat, bread. milk and the like, and
are all in good health In summer
time they need to be watered, but in
winter they quench their thirst with
snow.
When Norton wants to capture one
of his foxes he simply pokes his hand
down into burrow, to which shelter
they fee when any one approaches.

SUFFRAGETTES USE ACID;
ELECTION OFFICERS HURT

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Mrs. Chaplin, a
s~uffragette, furnished an early morn
ing thrill at the Bermondsey by-elec-
ton today when she smashed a bottle
containing corrosive acid upon a bollot-
box. Her intention evidently was to
destroy the ballots as q protest against
the exclusion of women from voting
What she accomplished was the pain
full burning of some of the election
officers and the assurance of her own
arrest.
Slipping into one of the booths, where
perhaps a thousand ballots had pee
deposited, Mrs. Chaplin hurled the bot
tie of acid upon the box. 1t broke into
many pieces and the flying acid
splashed upon the election officers. A
number of these were Sc severely in
jured as to require medical attention.
About the same time a similar outrage
was attempted at another booth by u
young girl who wore the suffragette
%colors, but little damage was done.

"DROP DEAD" ANSWER TO
MONEY PLEA, SAYS WIFE.
Court Hears OF Mrs. AslOwsky's
Fight for AlimOny,

Hearing on The return Of a rule order
ing Samuel Aslowsky to show cause
why be could not pay his wife S. a
week alimony ordered by the court, was
held before Vice-Chancellor Howell to-
day. When put on the stand, Aslowsky
told the court that although he was a
carpenter by trade he was out Of work
at present and could make only enough
money to support himself. He denied
that he owned any property, or Ia
any was beikg held for him by
one else.
For several jobs that he had done
in the past few months. the witness
claimed, he had received nc money. In
the petition in bankruptcy which he,
filed recently the witness admitted he
had not included a claim for 800 owed
him for work, but had listed $500 which
he owed this employer.
When called upon to testify, Mrs.
Rslowsky stated that her husband had
worked every day but that he had re-
fused absolutely to give lei any money.
To one Of her requests for overdue ali
mony the witness alleged that her hus-
band had replied:
Drop dead, I wouldn't pay Q q
cent"
The court remarked that he did not
think that the petitioner had proved the
mans ability to pay the alimony
ordered, but said he would give them
every opportunity so to do. The Ease
now will probably be referred to a spe-
cial master.

POL AND, IN TALK,
UPHOLOS HIGH
SCHOOL EXPENSE
Says Cost of Education, AL
though Enormous, Is justified
by Great Results.

Declaring that the cost of education
is enormous, but that the expense is
thoroughly justified In the results at
tanned, City superintendent of Schools
Addison B. Poland. of Newark, at the
laying Of the cornerstone of a new
high school In Paterson today, said
that In 1900 the annual cost of main
tanning the public schools in Newark
was 5000. 900; that now 1t is approxi-
mately $4,000, 900. He said that the
same, or nearly the am ratio, of In
creased cost will be found In New
York city and other cities of the East
that have tried to keep their school
systems abreast of the times.
Mr.. Poland formerly was superin-
tendent of schools In Paterson, and to-
day he made the principal address at
the cornerstone laying in Paterson.
Mr., Poland saind in part:
Never before in the worlds history
has public education played SO import
ant a part in shaping the destiny of ma
tons. From the northerInost limits of
scandinavian to the furthest extreml-
ties of Spain and the italian peninsula;
from Alaska to Argentina; from Occi-
lent to Orient, all civilized peoples
have developed within the past few
years an unprecedented self-conscious-
ness concerning the Importance of pub
lie education to individual and to ma
tional welfare.
THE reasons for his world interest
In education are not hard to find. They
are chiefly three-first. the political
motive; second. the social and economic
motive, and third, the Industrial
motive.
1.-THE political motive is shown by the
three great nations that have suffered
defeat in recent wars-China, Russia
and Spain. Each OF these nations is
bending every energy to establish bet
ter systems of public education. him
is sending. in large numbers, the flower
of her youth, as Japan did a quarter of
a century ago and is still doing, to this
country and to Europe to be educated
In the schools.
"Such In brief is the world situation
today; but despite this universal BELIEF
in the value and necessity of educa
ton. complaint is frequently heard of
its enormous cost. 1t is true that the
present cost of education is enormous.
Nor is this increased cost wholly, or
chiefly, due to improved buildings and
better material environment; but
rather to the proper and necessary
maintenance of the schools. Ten years
ago, as I now recall. the annual cost
of maintaining schools in the city OF
Paterson was about $780, 900. I have no
exact knowledge Of the present cost,
but feel sure that 1t must rave nearly
doubled.
I'm Newark the annual cost Of main
tanning the public schools in the year
1900 was about 5000. 900; last year 1t
was approximately 10000, 900. You will
find the same, or nearly the same. ratio
OF increased cost in New York city and
other cities In the East that have tried
to keep their schooI systems abreast
of the times"
