E. 7. BABBITT IS THANKFUL

Menk's Pharmacy, LOG Market street,
where Lieutenant r. T. Ballard is
introducing the new tissue builder,
Vim Hepatiea in liquid form, has pre-
sented a scene of unusual activity for
the past few days. Many people are
calling to talk to the young man, whose
pleasant smile and happy, sociable a
ture have gained him many friends
since he came to Newark. Others call
out of gratitude to thank him for the
good they have derived from using
the Cassamiro formula. Among the
latter, was Edward T. Rabbit. II
Columbia street, who for twenty years
has been connected with the Pruden-
tial Life Insurance Company. Mr..
Rabbit said:

appeal will mean a reversal. followed
by a new trial and probable ac-

The work of drawing up the papers
In the motion for a new trial will
begin at once and the documents will
be placed before the Court of Appeals
within a few days. Lloyd p. Stryker,
of Becker's counsel, said today that
the appeal would probably take a
years time.
Becker will be arraigned in court
on Wednesday next and at that time
sentence of death will be pronounced.
1t was declared this morning that
the jury arrived at its verdict of first
degree murder after only three for
NAL ballots.
District Attorney Whitman will
now turn his attention to the cases Of
the gunner of the Rosenthal murder,
who must be tried before the same
special term of court as Becker. They
have all asked for special trials. but
ii Is believed that Becker's convic-
ton will make their trials something
not much more han legal formali-
ties.
The cost of the trial will reach q
total far less than that of most big
criminal cases, it is said. The largest
single item of expense was for bring
ing a witness from England. This
item was about $1,000. The cost of
running the court is figured at about
$T00 u day. while the expense Of pay
ing and caring for the jury was about
5000 a day.

Driven from pillar to post for

t%ectionists long ago abandoned
the theory that the foreigner
pays the tariff and now stand on
the assurance to the people that
a protective tariff is for the "prC4
lection" Of "American' work
ingmen.

a heavy tax on every article of
wooden clothing worn by every
man, woman and child in the
nation, was up for discussion, Al

principal motive in levying a
tax on these articles was to

ingmen in the WOODEN industry.
Schedule X became a law, the
prices Of all kinds of clothing
made wholly or in part Of wool
have advanced, and the combin-
nation Of manufacturers who con
tributed heavily to Republican
campaign funds to have Schedule
X framed and passed, have made
millions. But how have the
American" workingmen been
protected?
The strike of 10000 textile
workers at Lawrence, Mass, one
Of many similar illustrations
which could be given, throws
some light on the subject. 1t
puts the lie to the statement that
Schedule X protects the "Amer-
lean workingman, because the
information shows there are
scarcely any American" work
ers left in the wooden manufac-
turing industry to protect. The
mill owners have protected
the American" workingmen by
driving them from their employ
ment with low wages and unbear-
able working conditions, and by
filling their places with contract
laborers from southern Europe.

The Absolute Zero.

What is the absolute zero of temper
ature? The zero of thermometers Is
purely conventional The inventor of
the centigrade simply took for zero
the coldest temperature known in his
day, while Fahrenheit had even less
ground for his selection. Absolute
zero is a point fixed by nature and
may be arrived at in a variety Of
ways. All gases expand or contract
equal amounts for every degree of
heat The amount of 1878 of their
volume for each degree centigrade.
If, then, a gas is cooled down contin-
uously it must reach a point at which
further contraction is impossible. If
a gas loses 1918 of its volume at each
downward degree of centigrade then
IN 273 degrees it would exhaust this
power and become a solid; hence
tminus) 273 G. is the absolute zero of
temperature. This answers to 461 f.

still active, quite as much so as 1t was

are in constant dread of ghosts. and
much of their time Is taken up with
devising ways and means Of safeguard

of America is the ancient superstition

the old idea.-New York American.
