Little Fellow as Bankrupt

PLACED AT SEVENTY
CENTS AND DEBTS AT $93.93
Twelve-year-old Stanislaw Me-
maszak Was Jailed in Order
to Collect Cash.

Brunislaw Niemaszak, a small boy
with but a dozen years experience,
has established a precedent, brought
about a change in the laws of the State
of New Jersey today and was dis
charged as an insolvent by Judge Ten
Eyck. His assets are declared to be 70
cents, while his liabilities are 1888.
The former consist of shoes, stockings,
hat and other clothing in which he
stands, while his liabilities are made
up of a bill of damages n costs for
which judgment was obtained against
him for the %stabbing of Edmund Will
mansky, another boy living at 81 Prince
street.
When Judgment was rendered the
parents of Niemaszak. who live at 1874
West Kinney street, claimed hat they
were unable to pay the amount, but
William A. Lord, of East Orange, coun-
sci for William Willmansky, believed
that the amount could be collected.
and on February 10 obtained a writ of
body execution, seized the boy and had
him committed to jail. The law was
strictly followed in the case and Judge
BENJAMIN F. Jones, or East Orange,
thong he did not agree with the law
which left him no alternative, had no
except to commit the boy to
jail, which was done.
Assemblyman Duane f. Minard took
UP the defense of the boy and later
in the State Assembly was instru-
mental in having a bill passed which

tory handling of passenger and freight

tory handling OF passenger and freight
traffic for a long time to come.
In order to facilitate the work in view
the roads lawyers nave sent the draft
of an ordinance to the Board of Works
to be presented to the Common Council,
empowering the road to make the i'm
provements planned, and it is quite
likely that the ordinance will be pre-
sented in nearly the exac form in
which 1t was outlined by the railroad
company.
While General Manager Frank Il
Sheppard did not say that the proposed
plans involved e~quipping local trains
with electric engines 1t is believed that
the company intends to adopt this
method of handling trains between here
and New York.
The Board Of Works intends to do
all II can to facilitate the early COM
pletion of the plans outlined by the rail-
road company, which would mean h a
the changes would be effected by the
latter part of the year. The matter
will be brought before the Common
Council at its next meeting.

i. \ Wealthy Soldiers Idea.

Australians still tell stories of the colonial volunteers. although the war Is far memory. One, a member of the Stock Exchange, was left one wet and miserable night to guard a wagon load of goods. He shivered in the un- sheltered place for some hours ponder Ing many things, and then bright thought struck him just as the colonel >ame around on his tour of inspection.
 Colonel" he asked, "how much Is this wagon worth? ?"
 "I don't know" was the answer "Much or little, we can't afford to lose it.
 "Well. but. colonel" persisted the amateur soldier, you might give me q rough idea of the value"
 About f2O0." said the colonel testily.
 "Very well," was the answer; 'I will come down to the camp and give you a check for the amount. Then I'll turn In. I wouldn't catch my death of cold for twice that much"
 What the colonel said is not record. sd.- Melbourne Times.

Fourtee nth Century Doctors.

Synge's Social Life in England" quotes number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there .s an obstruction ef the liver, Perhaps the patient will say. Nay. master. Ii Is my head or legs that trouble me" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver and especially use the word 'obstruc. tion.' for patients do not understand it. which Is important.
 Never dine with a patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded. for they may faint and cause a disturbance, but some times a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the lika than from the principal patient.

RESOLUTIONS BY
 SCHOOL FACULTY

Inasmuch as we have been deprived of our fellow teacher and principal l Robert Talbot Benton, we, the super intendent of the public schools and i the faculty of the Pine Bluff High School do hereby adopt the following resolutions as token of our deep grief at the loss of our departed friend and to pay honor to the memory of one who was truly type of worthy Christian manhood
 First, we, as his cow orkers, have witnessed his unselfishness and de- sire to get the best from those under his influence! In him we have ever found a loyal noble friend ready to i to aid, encourage and inspire us, and . by his example teaching us a broad and deep sympathy and love for hu- manity Not only has he been bril- liant instructor, but a kind, genial, unselfish companion.
 Second, our city and state have suf- fered the loss of one of their bright est, intellectual lights. He stood for all that is best and noblest in educa- tion, and wielded mighty influence for good on every life he touched. Notwithstanding his widespread pop ularity and vast personal influence, he had the spirit of humility, and was always ready to yield his place if there was anyone who could do bet ter than himself.
 Third, to those who knew him, he was man easy to love-frank, open, kindly, with malice toward none, with charity for all." To those who did not know him thus, we have only to point to the fruits of his labors. Only great and a good man-a, man great in his goodness and good in his greatness-could have yielded to the world so great harvest. We suffer with his bereaved family and extend , to them our deepest and heartfelt sympathy.
 Fourth, that copy of these resolu- tions be presented to his family, and that a copy be sent to each of our daily papers for publication. JUNIUS JORDAN. H. F. SRYGLEY. A. B. MOORE.

In the more retired viii lages. although greatly discouraged by the British authorities, 1t is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel. atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on a rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot. where 1t is left unburied by tue bearers. who nev- CT revisit the place again.
