FILTRATION WITH
MOTORMAN LEADS
To DIVORCE COURT
Charles Fruehling Blames For
mer Newark Man for
Wife's DereIictiOn.

That Mrs. Emile Fruehllng, OF 1871
South Markoe street, Philadelphia, has
been deralict in her duty as the wife of
Charles ~Fruehling, o prosperous baker
OF 491 Bergen street, is the gist of the
allegation he makes in the papers in
the suit for divorce filed in the Court
of Chancery today by louis j. Beers,
his counsel.
In his story h injured husband inn
p~lIcates Henry Chapman, who formerly
worked on Newark's, trolley lines, and,
it is said, in that way got acquainted
with the woman as the car he ran
passed her house. on schedule. 1t was
when he came to her house, then on
Ferry street, that he would look Up
from his work at the m%otorboX and the
series Of firtations began that will end
in the divorce courts.
Finally Lost His Job.
He finally lost his job on the local
trolley line and went to the City of
B%rotherly Love, where a strike made
room for another job at the motorbox.
On January "a, 1910, 50 the husband
says, she, having heard of his where

years his junior. Carl has since re-
turned home, but the latter is still with

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.
Who Train the Young, or Those Skilled
In the "Artn of War;

The st. Adams Messenger using for
its text an editorial from The Phoenix
advocating a pension for Mrs. Stella S..
Elmer under the new Vermont law,
said:
1T is not at all likely that there are
many school teachers in Vermont that
have such a long public service to their
credit as this estimable Brattleboro
woman, but there are many whose terms
of service are approaching the length of
hers and who are even now fairly en-
titled to some assurance that at the
proper time they, too, may confidently
expect a grateful community to make
some fair and reasonable compensation
for their later years.
IF it is sound public policy to retire on
living pay after long service soldiers that
have devoted their lives to preparation in
the art of war, that have directed their en-
erges and activities to the science of
killing mankind, crippling the resources
of alien peoples, and humbling the pride
of nations, how much more is it sound
public policy to provide for the declin-
ing years of men and women that have
given the best of their lives and activ-
tiles and energies to laying the founda-
tons of an exalted social order in a
country by teaching its youth the pre-
eminent advantages to the iniviual and
the world that higher life and living
that some day we may hope will serve
to prevent war and all its horrors?
IF pensions are to be paid to men that
are expected to make war successful
why not to men and women that are
expected some day to make it impossi-
BILE?
THE life and services of such devoted
spirits as this Brattleboro woman are
of inestimable value to any community
to any state, to any nation. 1t is an
transformations service, something of a
humdrum service, that is inconspicuous
largely because it is commonplace and
because it is the everyday expected
But nobody can calculate the tremen-
dous power for good in the aggregate
they may have helped to inspire through
their uplifting influence upon thousands
of young people in their most impress
sionable years
"The time will come when Vermont
and all the world, for that matter, will
regard the idea of pensions for schoo
teachers as not even a debatable propo'
sition, but will cheerfully accord ant
prefer to accord to these useful public
servants something more than tithe %
the monstrous sums now wasted upor
the hideous error of war"

Railroad Disaster Narrowly Averted.

A disastrous wreck was narrowly
averted on the Central Vermont railway
just north of Windsor Monday when "A
train, speeding down the Connecticut
valley at 80 miles an hour, struck and
rammed a big pile of rocks, which had
slid upon the tracks. A precipice of
shelving rock around which the railroad
had been built, rises 100 feet over the
track, while on the other side the river
rolls about 200 feet below,
AS the express shot around the sharp
curve the engineer says the great pile of
slab rocks covering the track was not
more than 100 feet away. The emergency
brakes We're applied with a suddenness
that brought the passengers up standing
but such was the momentum that the
train ploughed safely through the OBJ
struction, scattering the rocks in all di-
rections, the train coming to a stop a
little over its own length. The escape OF
the train from a frightful plunge down
the 2OO-foot precipice was nothing less
than miracle for had a wheel broken oil
left the track the train would have made
the frightful plunge
The only damage done was to the bis
grass hopper" type of locomotive, the
| cow-catcher and other parts of the from
of the big engine being smashed. Aftel
half hour delay the train crawled intC
| Windsor where a new engine was secured
and the train proceeded on its way with
a lot of scared but thankful passengers.

Saving Yourself Poor.

The United States department of ag-
riculture recently completed an inVesti-
cation of the cost and profit of producing
grain throughout the United States. 1t
shows that to grow and harvest an acre
of wheat in Vermont costs 800, which is
three times the average cost in Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa. the Dakotas Ne
braska and Kansas. But Vermont gets
fortytwo dollars worth of wheat on her
acre, leaving a profit of S22 an acre, and
this is more than double the average
profit for an acre in the Western states
named.
In growing wheat Vermont spends over
six dollars an acre for fertilizer, and the
average expenditure for fertilizer in the
other states named is about ten cents an
acre. Hence Vermonts high cost for an
acre; hence also her high profit. To
grow and harvest an acre of oats in
Vermont costs $l6 and this is over two
and one-haf times the average cost in
the other states but the net profit on the
acre of oats is decidedly higher than in
the other states, in some of which the
average expenditure for fertilizlng GA Is
land is only five cents or less an acre.
English land that has been under cul-
tivation for centuries yields 80 bushels or
over of wheat to the acre-about double
the average yield in the United States
as a result Of proper fertilization. What
will some OF our best farmlands be yield
ing hundred years hence under the
present SYSTEM One English experiment
upon two plots of similar groun3 covered
81 years. At the end Of that period the
fertilized plot was yieldirg SS bushels OF
wheat to the acre; the unfertilized plot
was yielding 12A bushels to the acre.
Fertilizers are somewhat expensive a
man can save something by not using
any Also he can save something for a
| little while by not feeding his livestock
| but he doesn't gain in the end.-[ThC

The Sparks Circus In Rockand, Maine.

The Rockland, Maine Courier Gazette,
after telling about the big business which
the John II. Sparks railroad show did in
that city on its recent appearance there,
spoke in the following highly compliment
tary terms of the exhibition itself:
1T was by far the best show seen here
in years and gave clean, up-to-date cir
GUS well balanced and sufficiently diver
shed to please everyone. The parade
was a good one, of considerable length
and was an attractive feature OF the day.
There were three bands, dozen open
cages of animals all in splendid condi-
ton, a long line of mounted ladies and
gentlemen, handsome floats and chariots
and the usual steam caliope. The horses
were the best seen here in a long time.
The circus performance contained many
acts that would be hard to duplicate in
any circus in the country The elephants
did some wonderful work. They bowled,
danced, played musical instruments, and
laid down on the trainer and finally car
ried him out OF the ring with their
trunks. The Cahill Sisters gave a start
ling tooth suspension act. riding bicycles,
playing on bells and executing butterfly
dance while being suspended in midair
by their teeth. The Mezuo troupe OF
japanese furnished several interesting
acts, and the Petit family OF acrobats
were way above the average. Their fin
ish, the human merry ground, was a
| novelty. The aerial acts were all good
and the riding first-class All in all II
was a show well worth seeing and gave
perfect satisfaction. The managers were
gentlemen and exceedingly courteous in
their dealings with everyone. 1t appear
ed to be a clean. orderly, well managed
concern and there was nothing of an OBJ
| jectionable nature either in the conduct
of the employees or its dealings with the
| public"
