In order to enforce it's rule against
employees patronizing saloons and
other drinking places at any time the
Pennsylvania Railroad is pursuing
here and elsewhere the same tactics
as the Lackawanna employs in en-
forcing its famous Rule G. Private de-
tectives in the employ of the road are
ordered to watch the various drinking
places in the cities along the line and
report Immediately all cases of dis
obedience of the rule. In order that
the proof against the accused may be
conclusive, the detectives are fur

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-That the Princeton farm,
established last spring by a number of
students who are paying their W ex
penses through college, has proven an
unqualified success and will undoubt-
eddy become a permanent fixture was
made known through the annual re
port of the Bureau of Student Self
Help. From this report the proceeds
of the farm did little more than coun-
t%erbalance the expenses but this has
been attributed to the fact that the
work was not done on an extensive
basis and that the farm was not push
ed to the limit as regarded its pro-
ductive capacity. The farm was run
on as small an outlay of money as
possible, most of the work which un-
der ordinary conditions would be done
by machinery being accomplished by
hand. This was done for the reason
that the authorities were unwilling to
invest in any expensive equipment
while the project was still in the ex-
p6TlIQ6nUdl stage.
Averaged SIP a Week.
Fifteen undergraduates were given
employment on the farm from June 1
until the middle of September, and
working at the rate of 25 cents an
hour, averaged about $12 a week sal
airy. Three acres of potatoes, five
acres of beans, 1000 tomato plants
and 10000 punches of celery were
grown. These were disposed of in
the local markets, and the late crops
are being bought by the college eating
clubs and the University dining halls
at regular market rates. 1t is ex-
pected that next year an area of
almost 100 acres, all of which is I'M
used land owned by the University,
will be titled and that over twice the
number of students employed this
year will be given work. Another in
~teresting feature of the experiment
is the excellent physical condition of
all the young farmers, who seem to
be much benefited by the outdoor
work.

Toward the Better pay.

The new that God has in store is
better than the old. It is richer, deep
er and more effective. The Christi
anity to come is better than that of
the past. The Christianity of today
Is better than that of our fathers, for
although their Sabbath-keeping and
family prayers and Bible-reading were
beautiful features which are now lack
Ing yet there is gospel preaching to-
day and Bible study and mission work
at home and abroad and social service
which had no parallel in their day.
Times have changed, but the new as

of Christian service are on a greater
scale and of a higher type than ever.

Montenegrin troops crossed the

One million men are facing each

1t is predicted that the first great

of Mukden.
King Nicholas of Montenegro and
Prince Mirko left Cettinje for the
front as guns roared and bells pealed.
European diplomats are bending
every effort to prevent the spreading
of the war flames to the great pow
ers.
Greek vessels recently seized by the
Turks are being loaded with troops at
Constantinople.
A dispatch to the Neues Wiener
Tageblatt from Oltenitza, Roumania,
reports a massacre of Turks by Bull
garians at Turturkala, Bulgaria. Ac-
cording to the despatch, agitators
from Hustchutt infamed local Bull
gars and these, in the dead of night,
attacked the Turkish residents of the
town, Staying all but a few who es-
capped across the border to Oltenitza.
Eye witnesses are quoted as saying
that the police shared in the slaughter
and pillage.
On the next morning, the despatch
states, the streets of the Turkish quar-
ter were lined with piles of corpses,
among them the bodies of women and
children.
Should the unexpected come about
and Greece, Servia and Bulgaria de-
cline to join Montenegro in a declara-
ton of war, the hostilities would not
be likely to be serious to Turkey ex-
vept as she assumed the offensive and
invaded the mountain State. The
M~ontenegrins have a fighting reputa-
ton when they can do battle in their
own mountain and a guerilla warfare
there would cost Turkey dear. Out
side of their WI country the Monte
negrins, it is thought here, are too few
in numbers to be dangerous to a power
of the size of Turkey, unless the little
State can get the help of her neigh
bors. That such a thing can happen
as hat she will be IeIt to fight alone
seems very doubtful, however.
M~ontenegro's declaration of hostil-
serious because, as most diplomats be-
.Ieve, it will now be impossible for
the powers to prevent Bulgaria, Ser
via and Greece from following the
little kingdoms example. Montenegro
alone would hardly be more than an
annoyance to Turkey. Its population
is about 100000.
Turkish funds fell sharply on the
Bourse. The despatch states martial
law was declared and the strictest cen
sorship was established. Under the
regulations of the censor all papers
were forbidden to print news regard
ing the movements of troops. Street
demonstrations, the carrying of fire.
arms and political criticism by the
newspapers was also prohibited.

SCHOOL FARM OUT OF RUT.
Deplorable Conditions at State lnstitu'
ton chanoed by New Committee.

ton Changed by New Committee.
Colonel D. Stewart Craven related
to his fellow-mem5ers of the State
Board of Education how the chickens
on the farm of the School for ndus-
trial Youth, at Bordentown, had been
there since the school was establish
cd, and had long since lost their lay
ing abilities. He said that a year ago,
when the present committee took owe
the school the herd of cattle contained
as many bulls as cows, and all of them
were tubercular. The report on the
school was called for by Edmund b.
Osborne, who wanted to know if it was
really worth the States time to bother
with the industrial education OF col
ored childen. Colonel Craven is the
chairman of the committee which took
up the work a year ago. At that time
the school was not allowed to sell any
of the products. and a horse was allow
ed to die before it was exchanged or
sold. The chickens were allowed to
grow old and tough, beyond their egg
laying period, and they did nothing
but eat. All this has been changed by
the committee, and at the present time
the school has a model farm.
Farm Work Prosperous.
Colonel Craven reported that not
only is the farm producing enough for
the inmates of the school, but it was
also able to sell much of the product
to the State School for the Deaf, in
this city. While the State Board is
not authorized to sell the farm pro-
duce, it can transfer it from n insti-
tuition to another. The State Board
was gratifed with the report of Col
onel Craven, and the Bordentown
School is now looked upon as n of
the States posperous institutions. DR..
Calvin N. Kendall, State Commission
er of Education, submitted a report
showing the need of additional normal
schools in the State He sought to
show how many new teachers are re-
quired in the State during a given
school year, and one of the interest
ing facts disclosed was that in the
rural schools of the State zoe teachers
are without other education than that
represented by a high school diploma,
or less, and without any normal train
ing.

Men Exhibit Fancy Work.

Men Exhibit Fancy Work.
There are two men in this city who
apparently believe that the time when
woman shall rule the country and the
men be relegated to the realms Of wo-
mans activities is inevitable. In prep
aration for this great change in our
affairs they have taken up fancy work
and seem to have mastered the intri-
cacies of that art very well. Samples
of their work were on exhibition at
the fair. Humbert Rossi had on ex-
hibition a sofa pillow which he had
made himself. 1t was a white silk
one with dark red roses and foliage
painted on it. The other masculine
exhibitor of a feminine art was Frank
J. caches, who showed an embroider-
ed pillow of his own manufacture. l.
was of linen and the roses and foil
age were embroidered in silk. AL
though both these exhibits apparently
pleased the masculine observer, they
were not good enough to carry off any
of the prizes, in the estimation of the
women judges.

New Election Called.

New Election Called.
Governor Wilson has issued his
proclamation calling for the election
of a member of Congress to fill the
vacancy created by the resignation of
William Hughes. The election is to
be for the old Sixth District, which
was, and is, composed of the counties
of Passaic, Sussex and Bergen. At
the same time a member will be chos.
en- for the new Sixth District, which
is made up of Warren, Bergen and
Sussex and a portion of Passaic Coun-
ty. Some confusion may result, but
the Governor is undoubtedly correct
in assuming that since the vacancy
exists in the old district, it must filled
by the voters within the territory that
elected Mr.. Hughes. In all probability
the new member will be elected for a
full term in the new Sixth District.
and will have about three months in
which to learn something of his du-
ties; otherwise there is no particular
reason why the vacancy should be
supplied.
