If John F. Borne. a former mem Der of the Produce Exchange and the Consolidated Exchange of this city. had died six hours later than he did his widow would have been made poorer by $10.190. Borne died July II. 1910. at 11:30 a. m.. at the Garden City Hotel in Garden City, l.. l. About six hours later Governor Hughes signed a bill which material ly changed the inheritance tax laws. As Borne died before the new law became effective. the courts decided that his estate which is estimated at about $55o,00O, was subject only to a tax of one per cent. as fixed by the old law Under the old law the tax is s5479. while under the new law the tax would have been s15,669.

The other day a man was arraigned in the special sessions court at Jam aica, l.. l., upon the charge of having stolen three loaves of bread. The prisoner admitted the theft but stated that at the time he was out of work and had no money to buy food for his hungry wife and children. It ap- peared from the testimony in the case that a police inspector, passing in his automobile had witnessed the theft and had sent a policeman to arrest the thief. When the police man learned that the mans family was starving and utterly destitute, he immediately started a subscription for money, food and clothing for the family of the man, before he arrested the latter and took him to the police
 station. Sentence in the, case was suspended by the justices.
 Rather unusual were the arguments with which Horace Fisch of Cam den, N J., opposed the demand for alimony made by his wife who is suing him for divorce. Mir. Fisch said he had been compelled to leave his wife because she had such long and sharp toenails and scratched his legs so that he found it impossible to live with her Strange to say Mrs. Fisch did not deny the allegation made by

The agitation against the white slave traffic has received a powerful stimulus recently and it is hoped that something will be done in the near future to put stop to this disgraceful and nefarious practice. An expert having devoted nearly two years to the study of the white slave traffic in this city, collecting material, as certained that there were about 26.000 white slaves in New York city, who were owned" by about 6,100 men. The same Investigator testified before the Curran Investigating committee that he knew of 105 disorderly houses harboring white slaves which were al lowed by the police to exist without interference, because they paid black mail to the police.

When Judge Rosalsky in general sessions the other day sentenced Pas uuale Poliarti to one year in the peni- tentiary and a fine of $500 after the prisoner had pleaded guilty to 6 brutal assault upon his stepchild a boy about one year old, he expressed regret that the law did not deal more severely with such brutes as the prisoner. He emphatically voiced the sentiments of everyone present in the court room. Testimony showed that the prisoner had been in the habit of beating the baby with the buckle end of a heavy belt whenever the little fellow cried and that on one occa = sion he had even bitten the cheek of the little fellow.

For a long time it has been felt that there was something radically wrong with the school system of New York city, but nobody seemed to be able to locate the seat and the cause of the trouble. Finally the board of estimate took the bull by the horns and appointed an investigating com mittee which employed experts to study the matter with a view of as certaining the defects of the present system. The first of the reports of the experts submitted to the com mittee was that of Dr. Edward C. El- liott, director of the school of educa- tiOn of the University of Wisconsin. The report is undoubtedly interest ing and contains some valuable point CTS Dr. Elliott recommends the abO- lition of the board of superintendents and number of changes in the ad- ministrative system of the schools. It remains to be seen however what the other experts have to say upon the subjects. It would be decidedly novel experience if the experts should agree in their opinions in this case. It is more likely however that each will find different causes of the ex- isting defects and will make differ ent suggestions so that, in the end the Investigating committee will be prac- ticaily in the same position as now. It will know what it does now, that there is something wrong with the school system. without having come q single step nearer to the solution of the problem.

gfaclng and dishonoring himself for the sake of woman-not even his Wife. It is difficult to understand the causes of deterioration which have marred the life of the general Students of human nature are won dering whether there had always been a yellow streak in the generals char acter or whether it developed only when senility began to weaken his power of resistance However that may have been. General Sickles sue ceeded in making horrible mess of 1t. No amount of charitable dispo- sition toward the old man could ever obliterate the fact that he was guilty of fragrant dishonesty when he inappropriate a large sum of money which had been entrusted to him. What makes his sin even blacker is the fact that by commit tng it he betrayed the trust placed in him by those who had believed in him and had honored him for the faithful services which he had ren- dered to. his country
 Those who are charitably inclined may try to find excuses for the gen erals misdeed and may put the blame upon his weakness or what ever they please but the fact remains that his act was one of dishonesty not alone according to the interpretation of the law but in the judgment of all fair-minded persons. The violation of a trust is heinous offense and those guilty of it i'll deserve the hys- terical sympathy which has been so wantonly wasted upon General Sickles.

about to say something and stopped.

repeated, peasants circulated It; many

Then ominous grumblings escaped
them; some shook their fists at the
black wall; others scoffed at distant
sounds of priestly hallelujahs. Had

would have ensued. For the time
