Patersonian Held for Alleged Assault
on School Teacher.
County Detective Edward L. Bren-
nan brought William L. Taylor, of 8
Hamburg street, Paterson, to the coun-
ty jail here Thursday. Wednesday
afternoon Taylor set upon Miss EN-
ma Grapel, a school teacher of
Pompton Plains, while she was walk
ing along the road from Pompton
Plains to Butler. After striking and
kicking her into Inconsistencies, it is
alleged, he took her gold watch, some
gold rings she wore and four dollars in
her pocket book. When Miss Grapel
recovered consciousness her cries
brought assistance and she was taken
to her home in Pompton Plains.
Constable DeBow, of Pompton
Plains, set out in an automobile after
Taylor and captured him half hour
later walking along the Butler road
Taylor told the detective that he
had been drinking heavily and did
not remember what he did TO Miss
Grapel. The school teacher may re-
cover. Taylor is held for the May
grand jury.
The watch and some of the rings
were found Thursday by Constable De
Bow.

VILLA SANTA CATERINA

The Summer Home of the Students al
the American College in Rome.
On the fifteenth of July every sum
mer the men of the American college
IN Rome leave their arduous studies
for while and spend few months
out among the Alban hills. The rec
tor OF the college, Bishop Kennedy, has
placed at their disposal a large villa
Villa Santa Caterina, 2 the address
reads-at Castel Gondolfo, little Sc.
questered village, and there the boys
spend their solid months of vacation
lntermingled with reading, serious and
otherwise, long walks and American
athletics.''
The Villa Caterina is an old italian
country-house with a newly built wing,
suppling accommodations for the one
hundred and fifty students of the col
lege. 1t is no romantic, dark, shad-
owy Italian palace, but a big, light,
modern building, despite it's cold stone
floors and the evident age of the villa
itself. All around the villa stretch
beautiful gardens and fields, where
there are plenty Of tennis-courts and
baseball fields to supply any American
desire for sport.
Not far less worthy is the villa of
Cardinal Merry del Val, Papal secre-
tary of state, and the secular ad-
wiser of Plus x, who is frequent
visitor at the A American college.
Quite often in tile bright summer
mornings the 1.-THE, active figure of the
Youngest Of the cardinals can be seen
on the courts in lively game of tennis
with two or three American students.
The cardinal is crack, . as the small
boy puts it, and he is as popular here
among the men.
During the summer groups of stud
ents, or camaratta as they are
called ia their walks through Rome,
are granted leave of absence to go Oft
on long walking tours through Italy.
The length of the journey depends up
on the year of the student, and usually
there are ten or more in the group
The Journeys are mapped out-some
through the Alban hills; some up TO
Florence, and then on through the
northern part of Italy. They journey
from place to place by whatever
accommodations may chance to offer
themselves by long tramps over the
country, or on the slow italian trains
whichs step more between stations than
anywhere else perhaps an Italian
peasant will offer the "Signors" a ride
on his cart to the next town.
On the whole, the summer vacation
Of the students is as much filled with
good clean pleasure as that of any
American youth

THE new law imposing license fee
of a dollar a year on all resident
gunners is not being cordially re-
ceived in some of the counties, where
criticism is being made of the PROPOSE
tion to "make farmers pay for the
privilege of shooting game on the lands
they own Nevertheless the law is a
good one. The state has spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for fish
and game protection, and after all the
expenditure and work there is less
game now than five years ago, and
some kinds have been practically ex-
terminated. The persons for whose
benefit protection has been furnished
are the ones who should pay for it.
Other states require all gunners to
pay license fee, and in some the
receipts are sufficient to meet the cost
of propagation and protection. Those
who dance should pay the fiddler.

PROTECTORS FOR DRINKERS

Bill Creating Board of Guardians for
the Drunkards Passed Both Houses.
The bill of Senator Hillery " for the
the prevention of drunkenness" which
passed both houses is one of the num-
erous interesting measurers that got
through the Legislature in the closing

state, the governing body thereof
shall appoint three reputable citizens,

satisfactorily appears to said board
that any person residing in, or who
frequents said municipality is an
habitual drunkard or is likely to be-
come drunkard by the use of intoxi-
eating liquors, such board shall, by
notice in writing mailed to every per-
son licensed to sell Intoxicating liq-
uors in said municipality, direct all
persons, so as aforesaid licensed to sell
Intoxicating liquors in said municipal
ity, to desist from either selling or
giving Intoxicating liquors to any
such person so determined to be an
habitual drunkard or likely to become
a drunkafd.
Amy person who knowingly shall
sell or give any Intoxicating liquor to
any person, so as aforesaid determined
to be an habitual drunkard or likely
to become drunkard, after notice to
desist from the sale or gift of intoxi-
eating liquors to any such person. as
aforesaid, either directly or through
a third person., shall, for the first Of
Tense, be liable to penalty of fifty
dollars, to be recovered in an action Of
debt by said board of protectors and
for a second offense shall be liable to
penalty OF one hundred dollars, to be
recovered in like manner; and for
third offense shall be liable to penal
ty of two hun red dollars, to be re-
covered in like manner; and upon a
third violation said board of protec-
tors shall report said fact to the board,
person or body having the right to
grant license for the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquor in said municipality where
upon said board, person or body hav-
ing the right to grant such license
may revoke the license of the person
so selling or giving intoxicating liquor
in violation of the provisions of this
act perpetually or for stated period
of time"

MORRIS CoUNTY's representatives
in the Legislature Messrs. Lyon and
Smithacquitted themselves with
credit during the last session. Mr..
Lyon, as the senior member, was,
naturally, the most active, and while
laying claims to no great oratorical
ability was able to express himself
with force when necessary. He early
developed the ability to get votes by
personal influence, quality that al
ways gives influence. He was entrust-
ed with important measures and sell
dom missed carrying his points He
made valuable member for his coun-
.ty, and if sent over to the Senatorial
chamber would give as good an &C
count of himself. Mr.. Smith, with
the becoming modesty of new mem
Der, did little to make himself promi-
nent. He was alive to the situation.
however, and on the right side of
every important question. His genial
nature made him friends and when
the session closed few men were more
popular than /" Smith, O. b."

JAMES NEW YACHT.

A Bark Rugged Auxiliary, 2OI Feet
over All, Thirty-Five Feet Beam.
Arthur Curtis James has signed the
contract for a new steel auxiliary
yacht, to take the place of his auxil-
larry brigantine rugged yacht Aloha,
the flagship Of the New York Yacht
club squadron this year.
When the vessel is completed she
will be the largest Of sailing yachts
afoat, with the exception of the Brit
ish built full rugged auxiliary ship
Valhalla, recently sold by the Earl of
Crawford, and since the construction
of the steam yacht Mona in 1902, at
Port Richmond, S. l., for the late
William B. Leeds she will be the larg-
est yacht built in America.
The yacht just ordered will be bark
rugged, and will be built by the Fore
River Shipbuilding company, of Quin-
cy, Mass. She was designed by Messrs.
Tams, Lemoine & Crane, of New
York, who have been in consultation
with Messrs. Cary, Smith q Ferris
also of New York, during the work.
The general dimensions of the new
yacht are POI feet over all, 1865 feet on
the water line, thirty-five feet beam
and sixteen feet draught. She will be
finished, as required by the contract
on March /, 1910, and so next year, in
all probability, she will be flying Com
modore James broad pennant.
The new vessel will be fitted Will
triple expansion engines of 400 horse
power and steam will be supplied by
an appropriate boiler.
Since Commodore James built the
Aloha ten years ago she has crossed
the Atlantic six or eight times. The
Commodore has cruised with her ii
the Mediterranean and to the NORTH
Cape and Iceland, while the waters
about Labrador are quite as familiar
to him as those of the coast Of thu
United States. In his new vessel HI
Icontemplates making cruises in for
eign waters as the time at his dispose
may permit.

Y. NJ C. IA. TEAMS FINE RECORD WooDE
W0ODRUFFSr OF NEW JERSEY

BY Francis e. woodruff. A. b.. Yale,
1864, of Morristown, n. j..
This is revised and enlarged edi-
tion of :" A Branch of the Woodruff
Stock " published in pamphlet form
some time ago. Its most important
feature is the connecting, for the first
time, of the immigrant ancestor, John
Woodruff, with his forebears Of the
town Of Fordwich, Kent, England
Toward this a learned and courteous
English cousin has greatly aided, by
clinching the proof Of the connection
and by, through his previous re-
searches and publications, carrying
the line up to the year 1903, when
Thomas Woodrow, then a man grown.
was its representative at Fordwich.
For the general readers of the fam
lily there are five sketches, telling of
the lives of the members Of the male
line.
The sketches are followed by full
notes for genealogists. The appendix
also, is made up Of miscellaneous gene
illogical matter, such as record of de.
scendants of DIR. Fl. $. Woodruff Gen
GRAFTON Ky; more about those who
lived at Westfield and notes on the
lineage of the families of the maternal
ancestors.
There is an old-fashioned index
(names of persons, places and subjects)
that is accurate and fairly complete.
Ten half-tone illustrations flour Of
them maps) give an idea Of the life in
Fordwich, Southampton, Westfeld
and Morris county, N. J.

UNDER the Colgate law, all vehicles,
whether drawn by horse or propelled
by steam or electricity, must carry a
light now, from one hour after sunset
to one hour before sunrise. The pen
atty is $40. This is one of the laws
advocated by the automobilists, and
while it may not be popular it cannot
be denied that it is perfectly fair,
Many of the accidents that have oc-
Cured after nightfall have been due to
the neglect of drivers of horses to
provide lights for their wagons or
carriages. The new requirement will
make travel on the roads safer for all,
and as matter of fact many farm
ers who have occasion to travel at
night now carry lights.

THE Essex county Republican
league for limited franchises and
equal taxation has instructed it's
president, William Fellowes Morgan,
to write TO the governor, urging him
to reconvene the legislature to act on
the direct primary extension and Mas
sachusetts ballot bills. Inasmuch as
the governor. recommended both these
measures in his annual message, and
the legislature considered but re-
fused to pass either Of them, there is
no reason to believe that it will take
favorable action at special session.
SO what's the use of wasting more
time and money?

THE appointment Of board Of pro-
tectorS by the several municipalities
of the county would go a long way to-
ward relieving the county from board
ing a lot of drunkards at the county
jail. When a man gets so low chat he
has once spent a term in jail for drunk
enness and disorder he is beyond self
respect as a rule and entitled to no re-
spect from other. Let the board re-
quest that this action be taken and
good would very soon result.
