A VALOUROUS MAN.

Rev. Father Joachim, of Pittsburg,
in a recent address, declares with all
the fervor at his command, that 1.-The
sloppiness of women is responsible
for most of the divorce cases." The
indictment of the priest carries the
further allegation that before marriage
too much heed is paid to outward ap-
pearances, neatness and tidiness be-
ing the attributes extant. But after
the ceremony, declares the priest,
whose observation truly Is remarka-
BILE, and whose valor is none the less
noticeable, the women are careful
about their looks only when upon the
street. The priest does not openly
avow that the creation we see upon
the street Is make-believe, but it
does not take strong Imagination to
draw such an inference.
Father Joachim, in other words, be-
lieves the married man possessed of
two subsidiaries, but in which an
anomaly is really expressed, for the
interests he subserves. One subsidi-
airy is the slouchy, untidy woman of
the home, and the other the powdered
creation of brush, padding and mirror
of the boudoir.-Natchez News.

there are small cheats and swindlers,
who stand aghast at Morgan's trans
actions, who would not do half the
good he does il they had the oppor-
tunity. Not that Morgan deserves
much credit for his philanthropy He
is surfeited with money, and he
would rid himself of the incubus of
his surplus millions because first, of
the odium they have attached to his
name; second, because he is
tired of the money-grabbing game
he would now do something
to glorify his name in his
tory; third. and If this is true it is
noble ambition, he may be a re-
formed man; he may have come to
see the injustice he has done to 9TH
ers and now seeks to make such rep.
aration as he can. God moves in
mysterious ways, His wonders to per-
form" He may put Pierpont Nor
gan and his millions to some good
account, after all.

SOUTH AMERICAN PORTS.

Gulfport, by virtue of her location,
can reasonably expect great things
from the territory lying to the south
of the American Gulf coast A tena-
tive plan has already been suggested
for booming the importation to this
country of foodstuffs from South
America, furthered by interests in
both continents. e,
Gulfport should be the logical gate
way for the importation of much of
South Americas foodstuffs, provided
such importation on large scales be
undertaken, and this seems a posi-
bility at the present time, If we may
Judge by the announcement that this
week South American diplomats are
at Washington to hold a conference
on the subject. 1t is understood to
be their intention to place such facts
as will enable commission merchants
in Southern seaports to buy foodstuffs
at a between one-third and one-half
the American market prices" II is
further stated that in order to meet
the tariff. South American producers
are ready to deduct the import tax
from the price and make this a condi-
ton of sale for at least six months,
but not to exceed one year.
The growing productiveness Of
South America is one of the marvels
of the decade. Argentine is said to
offer great quantities of meat and cat
tie; Brazil offers dairy products; 1t is
claimed that Argentine beef can be
delivered to this region at about
eleven cents a pound, and other COM
modities at proportionately low rates.

Forrest county is to have a Com
missioner of Agriculture. That is one
good thing accomplished, and that
will lead to the accomplishment OF
other good things. This agriculture
will need freight rates to compete
with other shipping points. If
this county could be settled with
few more farmers, and these farmers
induced to raise thousand car loads
Of agricultural stuff for shipment,
these producers would be at a consid-
cradle disadvantage if the freight
rates remain as they are. Home
seekers will inquire into all this be-
fore they invest; and if they find they
can get about as good land near Me-
ridian, Jackson and Natchez, at nearly
as low a price, and secure very
much better freight rates, it stands 10
reason, without any argument, that
they will not locate in Forrest coun-
ty. 1t behooves the people of Hat
tiesburg, therefore, to secure these
cheap freight rates while now the op.
portunity is open to them. One great
reason why large cities grow larger
and small towns do not grow at all,
is because of unfair discrim-
mating freight rates in favor
of the cities. When Hatties-
burg once gets the freight rate she is
entitled to, it ought to take on new
life and hope, and grow rapidly.

RUN MOTORCAR
OUT AMBOY AVE.
TO WOODBRIDGE

Since the opening of the new motor
car service between this city and
Chrome and Carteret two weeks ago,
Woodbridge and residents along Amboy
avenue have been asking for a similar
service over that route
In order to determine its practicable
ity, special invitations were sent to
fifty seven of the merchants and bust
ness men of Woodbridge to go over the
route in special car
Two trips were made from Wood
bridge to Perth Amboy and return
via Amboy and New Brunswick ave
nues.
The exhibition service was given at a
time when most of the business men
could not accept the invitation, but the
following gentlemen acting as com
mittee, were among the principal partic-
ipants: Messrs. James Praul, John
Thompson, Barron Schoder, James
Welch, Albert and Robert Hirner, w. G..
Ashley, Barron Brewster, Gustav Blum,
Albert Aeker, Peter Christianson, Frank
Elias, Louis Isenberg, Joseph 0strawich
and Arthur G. Brown.
Most of the men held their watches,
noting the running time of the car, and
it was found that all four trips were
made in just fifteen minutes each,
showing that the running time between
Woodbridge and Perth Amboy is fifteen
minutes while it takes from thirty to
forty-fve minutes to go from Wood
bridge to Perth Amboy by the old troll
ley line the delay being caused by
switches, crossings and turnouts.
Samuel Garretson, as one of the prin-
cipals of the Alpine cemetery, was one
Of the invited guests and was greatly
pleased with the service
Supt Mellen has promised that owing
to the closing Of factories along the
river front SOME of the present cars
running to Carteret may be diverted
over the Amboy avenue route on Dec
grafton Day to carry the people to and
from the cemetaries.

New Brunswick, May 19:-The
state finished KS side of the Whit
field libel case in court here at /
O'clock this morning and Lawyer
Strong opened for the defense at IL
o'clock noon.- He presented a strong
argument in favor of acquittal Of
the accused men on the ground that
the indictments failed to cover the
whole Groves circular This motion
the court denied.
= The court struck out few SEN
tences Of the Groves circular that
were of minor Importance, and the
Jury was asked not to consider them
or the evidence given relative to
them
Lawyer Strong opened for the de-
Tense with complete denial that
any or all of the defendants had
anything to do with writing or mail
ing the Groves circulars in question.
He held that the defendants had
changed the word city to New
Brunswick" on a number of en-
velopes because they were mailed
from Newark. The envelopes, how
ever, he held, contained pastors that
We're mailed from Newark to a num-
Der of voters of this county.
James Growney, of Perth Amboy,
the twelfth juryman, asked why the
envelopes had been taken to Newark
to be mailed. This Justice BERGEN
told the lawyer not to answer as
lawyers arguments often cover more
than the evidence and at times do
not come up to the volume of evi-
dence given. Later Mr.. Strong
brought out the statement that the
envelopes had been mailed from
Newark because the senders wanted
the recipients to believe that they
came from brewery interests He
said most of them were sent to sa-
loonkeepers.
Relative to the No Underwood
typewriter, on which the envelopes
We're addressed, Mr.. Strong said the
machine had been In the republican
headquarters since last September
and had been used both at the pri-
maries and during the regular cam
paign. He said the republican head
quarters were open to all and many
people had access to the typewriter.
Mr. Strong expressed himself as be-
ing glad that the defense had reach
ed this time, when they could pre-
sent their side Of the matter and
thus clear the stain on the defend
ants.
David M Carvalho, famous
handwriting expert, will be called
this afternoon for the defense. He
arrived this morning and at II
O'Clock began to compare the hand
writing on the envelopes introduced
as evidence with that of the defend
ants and others.
Albert s. Osborn, of Rochester, N. Y.
famed as an expert of typewriter pro-
duets, went on the stand yesterday af-
ternoon and introduced a new kind Of
expert testimony to Middlesex county.
While most people readily accept as a
fact that there is an individuality in
penmanship which can readily be dis.
tinguished the idea Of a typewriter hav-
ing individuality is not such a common
proposition, and consequently hia testi
mony attracted considerable attention.
