Divine Manifestations

This is a great law Of all history:
No alteration in human conditions
need affect Divine manifestations. It
Is not the will Of God that any
changes, effected by death or disable
ment of men, shall paralyze activity
or arrest progress. In a grand sense,
we are to think of all history as a
drama, where every actor comes on
and goes off the stage as God wills.
where act succeeds act, and scene fol-
lows scene, in q prearranged order,
and the whole action moves toward
one final result. God never dies.
His power, wisdom, love, are always
behind the mutations of mans expert
ence; and every servant of God is i'm
mortal till his work is done, and then
another is ready. in Gods eternal plan.

and carry it on toward completion

Perhaps the wide streets and spa

thing to do with the freedom of

FARM EXHIBIT
ON LARGE SCALE
State Board Of Agriculture Pre-
pairing to Show Product
WILL BE BEST EVER GIVEN
Livestock and Husbandry Fair to
surpass Any Ever Held In the
observation-disclosures Lectures
for the Farmer.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-For the first time in the
history of the organization the State
Board of Agriculture is preparing, and
its scope will be soon determined, an
exhibition of the farm products, farm
work farm hygiene and kindred SUBJ
jects, for its annual meeting which
will be held in the Second Regiment
Armory, January 8, 8 and 10, with the
first meeting of the board January Z,
held in the State House, and will out
do any agricultural exhibit ever seen
In this State. The space being avail
able the board means-that is, the ex-
ecutive committee of the board means
to make this exhibition the finest of
its kind ever seen in the East. The
present plans contemplate such a plan
as has been customary annually in
the far Western States, as we'll as in
the middle West, of giving the people
a real exhibit of farm husbandry. Sec
rotary Franklin Dye would not dis
close the plans this week, but said
they were the finest ever drawn for
an agricultural exhibit in this State.
1t is known that the tuberculosis ex-
hibit of the State will be set up there
and that there will be lectures on the
life of the farmer, his wife and her
great share in his uccess There
will be an exhibit of the commission
of the tuberculosis in animals, and
live subjects will likely be on view.
Secretary McNabb has that in charge.
Garden Truck and Livestock.
Heretofore the meeting of the State
Board has had little or no exhibits,
but this year, with the armory to hold
such exhibits in, and with Senator
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen as president
of the board clamoring for a chance
to show everything from garden truck
to blooded stock, it is likely that the
coming exhibit will be a county fair
with blooded stock on exhibition and
the meetings of the State board given
such an impetus that they will become
something which the general public
will willingly pay to see if the board
should decide to charge a fee for see
ing. The great mystery observed con-
nected with the board, from Senator
Frelinghuysen down, indicates that
this coming exhibit will be an epoch
maker in the calm, dignified discus
sions of the board on farm subjects
and make the general public anxious
to run to, instead Of from, the annual
meetings.

papers, but even still a Munchener
artist can tell a story in one line, fol-
which an Englishman must use ten.
The Munich academy is the second
best In the world and has sent forth
such men as William Chase, Frank
Duveneck and Martin Scissor. If you
ask a Munchener who was the most
important man in the world, the an.
swer is either the prince regent, and
Frame Won Stuck of Frame Stuck
and the prince regent.
They love the kindly old prince, but
their awe of Stuck is marvellous. His
word Is considered final in art, and
his appreciation is shown not only
sentimentally, but substantially as
well, for he was presented with a
beautiful home by the government
and a nice pension besides. He is a
tall, dark, handsome man. His wife
is an American, and although very
fond Of his wife, he does not like to
see too much American independence
cropping out in his children. His lit
tie girl is a true little German frau
lein, while his boy takes all his traits
from his mothers ancestors, and is
said to be no ~favorite with his father.
Stuck is one of the teachers of the
academy, but the best life class here
is headed by an American from Mil
waukee, Carl Mari. The Zugel animal
class is one Of the famous art classes
of the world.

Claims of Employees.

The decision of the Arbitration
Board in regard to the pay of railroad
engineers is favorable, on the whole,
to the claims of the employees. 1t has
the merit, too, of being acceptable to
the several interests, to a larger ex-
tent than is common in such disputes.
1t that the railroads shall pay
somewhat better wages to the ordi-
nary engineers, about the same to the
best men, and considerably more to
those who have only moderate ability
to recommend them. The companies
have heretofore paid less than was
honestly due for much of their engi-
neering service. But II they are to
pay more for the work, they are also
entitled to expect better work. That
is something that is occasionally for
gotten in the joy of a favorable settle

money, and also have a voice in the

HEALTH BOARD AFTER DIARIES,
Products Approved by Newark In.
spectors Found Faulty by State.

Recent information is that the in
spections of diaries and creameries
made by the inspectors Of the New
ark Board Of Health have favored
many such places. An examination Of
the same places as examined by the
State Board of Health shows that in
many places the scores as passed by
the Newark authorities are marked
down to so per cent. and below, and
the State has started suit for violation
of the statutes against places as
passed by the Newark inspectors.
This brings up the suggestion, as
made by many scientific investigators,
that such work should be done wholly
by the State authorities, who are re-
mote from political influence and are
in a position to do the work with the
rigid exactness required in the cam
paign for the health of the whole peo-
pie. Frequently the scores between
those of the local and the State au-
thorities vary, with the State inspect
ors scoring much lower than the local
authorities. This indicates some
thing, and many hint that the work
of the local men shows favoritism, if
it does not indicate that lack Of sys-
TEN and exactness required. in all
complete Investigations for the public
good.
For Good of People.
1t is limited that the scoring be-
tween the State Board of Health and
the local Newark lei shows a more
rigid exactness by the State, with bet
ter resultant good to the people. The
State can cover the whole territory,
while the local inspectors only get at
the diaries and creameries supplying
the milk to Newark. The remote
diaries and those not known to the
local men because of their supplying
the creameries are not examined, and
the disease dreaded by all milk au-
thorities-typhoid fever-is likely to
be in the diaries not thus inspected.
The State gets at all of the diaries, or
could if given the full of
money needed for this exact work,
and in this way the problem becomes
a broad State one, which no amount
Of good work upon the part of local
inspectors car do. Those who have
studied the problem are unanimous in
the belief that the money for complete
inspection by the State of all dairies
and creameries lat least four times a
year, should be given to the State
Board of Health. In this way the
typhoid rate could be cut down to the
smallest minimum, the mortality rate
materially reduced and the whole
people benefited. Assemblymen in
terested in health problems are look
ing carefully into the matter, with the
end in view of getting this work done
by the State instead of half touched
by the local authorities.

Message to LEGISLATURE.

Governor Wilson is said to be pre-
pairing his annual message to the
Legislature. On one subject the peo-
pie would be especially pleased to
have him write with vigor and direct
ness; it is the coal combination. It
is a matter over which the State has
control, despite all denials. The law
has been settled in this State. But
aside from the direct authority there
are abundant means of getting at the
offenders. The coal roads pass through
New Jersey and are chartered in this
State. They are amenable to our
laws, past and future, and an execu-
tive with a Legislature behind him
could bring them to terms in short
order. They could not be made to
change their rates in New York, but
If New Jersey shakes them properly
they will collapse all along the line.
The price of coal this winter is an
outrage upon humanity.
