MADE PICTURE
OF HIS DEATH
Victim Was TO Have Rescued
Girl for a Film.

Z New York, July 12.-Instead Of pho
~tographing the rescue of q young wo-
man In the waters Of a lake IN the
Fox hills section of Staten Island, a
moving picture machine recorded the
actual drowning of the actor rescuer.
The ACTOR who was drowned was Al
bert Brighton of 80 West T~hirty-ntnth
street. He was t~hlrty-fve years old.
The play which ended in tragic real
fly took place at Brady's pond, Grass
mere, which has an area of about six
acres.
A boat was hired and In it Mary
Murray, IN actress, rowed out twenty
i've feet or so from the shore. At the
point selected for the picture taking
there are many water lilies. The young
woman, In a fluffy white dress and all
alone IN the boat, was to pick these
water lilies and in reac ching too far for
n Of the flowers was TO upset the
boat, after which was to come the res
cue.
The picture machine was started,
and Miss Murray picked several of the
flowers. Then at a signal from the
operator she leaned far over the gun
vale and stretched her hand toward
another of the lilies. AS she put her
weight on the side of the boat It tip
ped and then went down, throwing
her into the water.
The girl screamed for help, according
to the story Of the play, and threw up
her hands to attract the attention Of
Brighton, who was stroliing along the
shore of the pond in immaculate sum
mer iannels. At this signal Brighton
threw off his straw hat and coat and
Owed into the pond.
The depth Of the lake varies from
four to twenty feet. At the point
where Brighton plunged into the wa
ter it is nearly Its maximum depth.
The young woman in the water con-
tinued her acting Of the helpless
drowning girl, and the man at the
moving picture machine continued
sending the film past the lens. But
the actor who had jumped in to save
the oma In play distress did not
appear.
A good swimmer had been selected
for the part, as also Il good swimmer
had been chosen to play the role Of
the helpless young woman. So for a
few seconds the other half dozen az
tors in the real drama, supposing that
Brighton was merely a little everyday
ing his part with a long swim under
water, continued the roles In the play
drama.
Then the mar at the machine and
the stage director of the picture play
became alarmed and, shouting to the
young woman, who was stin treadlng
water waiting for her rescuer, that
something was wrong, got out boats.
Miss Murray swan to shore. Other
swimmers among the actors dove for
the actor, but did notA him. FL

OBJECT TO TRESTLE FOR
THE NEW TROLLEY LINE

Long Branch, July 12:-Objection
to trestling in Broadway by the pro-
posed new Red Bank-Long Branch
trolley line resulted in a resolution
being passed by the Board of Trade
Monday night against such a move
ment.
An overhead t~restle, it was de-
clared, would not only injure proper
ty in the vicinity of the tracks Of
the New York and Long Branch rail-
road, but would be dangerous. The
property owners living near the
tracks would sign for a grade cross
ing or a crossing by Dudley street
and Seventh avenue. .,.
The sentiment is strong for a
Broadway line before tho asphalt is
resurfaced. 1t is beIleYed thai the
proposed new line\ Will be built,
which will be an extension of the
Jersey Central Tra5tion Company,
now running from Perth Amboy to
Red Bank.

Speaking for myself, since joining

Agency is 4 success. I have collected
from what I considered hopeless claims

Gentlemen: 1t has been an estab-

class of people who might properly be
called dead beats, who employ a physi-
clan so long as he will do their work
without asking for pay, and when "for-
bearance ceases to be a virtue" he
meekly asks for some money; they at
once drop him and seek another victim,
who, not being acquainted with the
facts, proceeds to assist his new pa
tient, only to learn that he is the vic
tim of misplaced confidence. This
thing has been going on to my actual
knowledge and financial loss for the

The Smallpox Situation.

Jasper at present is without a
case OF smallpox. so far as is known
to the authorities. The quaran-
tine in the two cases first reported
has been removed. The third
case was that of Mr.. Brown, whose
death, which occurred Tuesday
morning and which was due prin-
tipally 10 old age rather than
smallpox, removed the last known
case of the disease either in or
near the city. The Bright store
will open soon for business as
usual. In justice to Mr.. Bright,
who is naturally the principal
sufferer, in a business way. from
the after effects OF the scare, we
are glad 10 state that his store has
been thoroughly fumigated and
every precaution taken against the
survival Of single germ to trans.
NIT the disease, and the physi
clans state no place could be nam
ed where there is less liability of
taking the smallpox than at this
store. Here, as at every other
store in Jasper, customers are as
free from danger of contamination
as if the disease had never existed.
1t is to be hoped that this ends
the smallpox scare, which has
lasted nearly a month, and which
il continued mightprove disastrous
in many ways. The outlook at
present, we are glad to note. indi-
Gates that it is over for good.

Isn't Worried About Wheat.

Charley Hayzlett is one man
who is an optimst on the wheat
crop outlook, and being in posi-
tion to know few things about it
his opinion is considerably more
valuable than that Of the ordinary
person. Charley says that when
wheat will come up at this time
OF year the ground can't be in very
bad condition for a crop, and he
has an instance ready to support
his argument. Some wheat spilled
some time ago near the elevator,
which is on as high and dry a spot
as can be found. is coming up in
hnc shape, notwithstanding a Slight
coat OF cinders over it. If it will
come up now it will thrive later;
at least that is the elevator mans
belief.
For some reason the prolonged
drouth has failed to do any actual
damage, and this suggests a phe-
nomenon that is being remarked
upon by many people. The
streams and wells all over this part
of the country have more water in
them than they had a month ago,
at which time it was thought they
would certainly dry up in a short
time unless rain came. No rain
came-at least none to speak
of-but the water has risen
Just the same. Where this
water came from is a question
for better posted men than the
writer to decide. Some say it's
the warm weather thawing the
frost out of the ground; some give
other reasons. Whatever the rea
son, the water is there. The small
rain last Sunday had little or no.
thing to do with it. 1t was there
before that shower came along.
Mr., Hayzlett thinks this phe.
nomenon will be the salvation ot
the wheat crop. In fact, he sees
no reason why the crop shouldn't
be fully equal to that Of 1910, Civ
en- equally favorable conditions
from now up to harvest.

KEEP AT IT, SAYS CHALMERS
Business Success Depend on
Consistency and Thoroughness
and Eye to Future.

Hugh Chalmers Of Detroit, the
man who quit S77,oo a year
Job to enter the automobile man
ufacturing business and made
good, told the Omaha Adj club at
a banquet in that city the other
evening of The Principles of
Business Suc, ,ess.
1T is easier to make goods than
than to sell them, said Mr.. Chal-
mers, SO the principles of business
success, as far ds his mind was
concerned, are involved in success
ful craftsmanship. Advertising
and the personality of the sales
man ere the two points empha-
sized.
Advertising and publicity arc
the two greatest builders of conf
dence known to the business man, "
he said. A salesman can talk to
only one or two people at the
same time, 50 it might properly be
said that salesmanship applies
only 10 The individual, while ad-
vertising reaches the public as
well, because by advertising you
can reach hundreds and thousands
and millions Of people, while the
salesman can reach only one or
two at time.
Keep cverlastingly at it, If |
were dead sure that we had al
our 1910 output sold and clear up
to 1919, would not spend a dol
lar less in advertising. My being
in business is not confined only to
the time up to 1912, and am a
firm believer in keeping oversold.
You have to deal with human
nature, and it has always wanted
and always will want those things
which are hardest TO get.
You shut off the source OF
supply when you stop advertising.
You must send the best possible
appeal to a million minds and
you must keep on appealing"
As for the salesman, Mr. Chalm-
ers said the first essential was
health, and the others, honesty,
initiative, thorough knowledge OF
his business, tact, industry, sin
Cerity, mind receptive to sugges-
tion and enthusiasm.
One thing has always helped
me in my business, Mr.. Chalmers
said in closing. Il make it a
point to keep before NE the ten
most important things | have to

FASHIONS HANDICAP.

The high-heel boot and the hobble skirt are charged with having caused an undue number of accidents.
 The Pennsylvania railroad after an investigation covering three months, in which 73 cases were considered, has come to the conclusion that the hobble skirt and high heel shoes are responsible for most of the trouble.
 For the most part the reports ran in this fashion: Heel caught on step of coach and tore off. High heel caught while descending stairs; wore hobble skirt"
 The hobble skirt is really the lesser evil of the two, for the high-heel boot is simply spelling the feet of the wo- men who wear them and producing a crippled, bunion-footed class. The high heel makes the day of the broad footed, wheeled shoe sure.
 The two are regarded as devices of torture and dangerous and it's surpris- ing that sensible women through de- votion to style will needless1y imperil their health and their lives.
 It is time the hobble skirt and the French heeled boot were fare-welled
