these inventions have been the work
of any Newark man, and the city has
therefore lost somewhat this season
her place in the world of accomplish

The summer has not completely
waned, however, until two Newark
men, intent upon the upholding OF the
dignity of their fair city, put upon
the market an original device for the

by a huge arrangement of screening,
circular in shape and completely
covered by fine screen wire, with
the exception of one end. This is
fitted with a cone extending halfway
into the circle. The top of the cone
Is cut off and the flies are tempted to
crawl up the cone and are trapped
when once they walk over its edge.
A bait Is placed as an inducement for
Mr.. Fly to frisk himself into the

hut among them AL, however, few
comprise a larger number than the
victims who are killed of injured
while walking upon railroad tracks.
1t is asserted that about fifty
thousand persons have been killed
and about ffty-five thousand injured
in this way during the last eleven
years. Supporting this statement Is
the report of the interstate com
merce commission that 4,614 per-
sons exclusive Of passengers and
railroad employees were killed dur
ing 1909 by being struck by loco
motives or cars, and this is not re-
garded as an exceptional year in
that regard
Although many people know it is
dangerous and senseless TO walk
upon railroads tracks the statistics
lead one to believe that even some
of them derive no benefit from the
knowledge and that there Is de-
plorable amount OF ignorance in
regard to the practice. People OF
average intelligence in spite Of all
warnings and a full knowledge of
their danger, will now and then
take a chance in walking along the
railroad tracks. These tracks are
not public thoroughfaTes and dan

FIND WATCH IN ALLIGATOR
Is Believed to Solve Mystery of Miss
ina TweIve-Y ear-Oid Girl.

ing Twelve-Y Girl.
Forsyth, Ga, July 26.-The finding
of valuable gold watch and chain in
the stomach of a large alligator that
died in a pond near here is believed
to solve the mystery of the disappear
ance of twelve-year-old Janet Thorn
son from the home of her parents at
Island Grove, Fla, two years ago.
The alligator was captured near
Island Grove some weeks after the
girl disappeared and was brought to
Forsyth by J. M. Jackson.
The little girl has never been heard
from since she disappeared. When last
seen she was standing on the banks of
the lake where jackson captured the
alligator, and she was wearing at the
time a gold watch of the Waltham
make, with her initials engraved on
the back of the watch. The same ini-
tials are on the back of the watch dis
covered on the inside of the dead alli-
gator.
1t is believed by Jackson and 9TH
ers that while the girl was playing on
the bank of the lake the alligator came
upon the bank and devoured her.

THE AUTOMOBILE.

One of the causes, perhaps the
greatest cause, of the automobile evil
is the fact that a tremendous proper
ton of the users OF cars have no real
realization of what an automobile is.
They regard ii as toy or a conven-
ience or a trifing instrument OF sport,
when, in truth, it is an engine of de-
saruction, dangerous weapon, a loco
motive without tracks. We do not
permit children to handle Loaded fire
arms or drive locomotives. And when
grown men touch these things they do
it carefully and gingerly and with a
realization always that the slightest
recklessness or lack of caution may
produce the most serious consequent
ces. But the automobile is regarded
as something no more to be feared and
handled with no more care, certainly,
then a docile driving horse.
Until this very erroneous impress
sion is corrected there will continue
TO be automobile tragedies. And il
should be the business of the law.
makers and the law-enforcers to aid
in correcting the impression.

ATLANTIC CITY MAYOR HELD
George w. CarmarY Accused of So
Letting Bride.


Atlantic City, Jdly On a war
rant sworn out by Simon Faber, head
of a reform movement in this city,
George w. Germany, acting mayor OF
Atlantic City, was arrested upon
charge of soliciting a bride in con-
nection with the granting of liquor
license to a hotel on New York ave-
nue.. 4
Germany, who is president Of the
city council, became acting mayor on
the death of Mayor Stoy last Satur-
day.
The action against Germany is the
outgrowth of hearing given to Henry
Bolte, Jr., a councilman and chairman
of the councils license committee,
who is accused of having accepted the
bribe.
AT the hearing J. T. Fitzpatrick,
owner of the building in which the no.
tel is conducted. testified that he had
met Germany on a train from Phila-
delphia and had told the councilman
the difficulty he had in obtaining a
license for the hotel. Fitzpatrick further
testified that Germany then said to
him:
Il know you are not in the clock
business, but Bolte is, and think that
if you were to buy a clock at $500 or
5000 at Bolte's store there might not
be any further trouble about getting
your license"
On the strength of this testimony
Faber had Germany arrested. Car
many went before Squire Weeks at
Pleasantville and entered bail for a
hearing later
