THE WORLD AKIN.

Up in the northwestern corner Of
New York state deliver into the lore
Of the past the other day opened
some graves. They were the graves of
Seneca Indians, made soon after that
fine tribe had its first contract with
white men.
One of these long forgotten tombs
was especially rich in human interest.
The deliver, in digging. first came to
an inverted kettle of copper, about
the size Of a tea kettle. Evidently this
kettle had been inverted to keep the
'seepage of the rains and melted SHOWS
from descending upon and destroying
the remains beneath.
The size of the grave indicated that
il had been made for baby. Time, in
spite of the inverted kettle, had. how
ever, eaten away all traces of the lit
tie form. But in a tiny caslIet OF
baked clay. securely wrapped in bark,
some OF whose fibers still remained,
were proofs that the grave had been
that of a baby. For there. carefully
preserved, we're two small dolls carved
of bone and necklace OF beads
strung on copper wire.
Some sorrowing parent had wrap
ped the still form of the loved papOOse
in bandages OF finery, laid it gently
in the followed earth. placed over it
the protecting kettle and alongside
had put the little ones pet toys TO
keep it company on the journey to the
happy hunting grounds.
After all these years it still seems
almost a sacrilege to disturb spot
once hallowed by mothers tears.
Across the centuries the touch Of
nature reaches TO make the world

the raise should be granted by the
present administration.
Ia a little over another month the
present administration will have fin
ished its work. and likewise all the
boards under it. The salary increases
requested cannot go into effect until
the first Of the year, or at least there
would not be more than one month Is
pay under il until another administra-
ton takes hold. To increase those
salaries now, to put it mildly, might
look like an attempt Of the present
administration to bequeath TO its sue
eessor an increased burden OF expense.
To be frank about it, we are of the
opinion that the department officials
and firemen should have their in
crease. Statistics submitted from
Gary Hammond. 1T Wayne and
Evansville. show that they are re-
ceiving less than the firemeR OF those
cities, and the increase asked meas
ures up TO a comparative equality.
However. the men on the depart
ment next year. either by reappoint-
ment or suffrance, will hold their jobs
under the next administration and
that administration should be privil-
eyed TO fix the compensation. 1t
is not an unfinished job, like the
lighting contract before the board OF
public works. that is before the board
of public safety.
The total amount Of increase asked
Il lieutenants. and 40 firemen. would
be only $9.14O a. year, not much, but
the principle still holds
The men deserve it, no doubt,
whether the present men, or their sue
cessors. but the question is, who
should bestOw It?

ASSESS SENAGf
BY ITS VOLUME
This Will Facilitate Its Care,
Expert Tells Orange
Mems Club.

Nicholas s. Hill, jr., one OF the en-
perts retained by the government to
handle the harbor pollution problem,
gave an interesting talk on sewage
disposal problems before the First
Unitarian Church Mems Club in Or
ange last night. The speaker support
ed the attitude that when municipali-
ties get together to settle upon a plan
of sewage care and treatment that
the proper method of assessment is
according to the volume of sewage
used by the various municipalities.
This method of apportionment, the
speaker declared, makes for efficiency,
as when the cost is measured by the
amount of sewage sent from each
community the residents and officials,
seeking to keep down the expense.'
generally are conservative in the
situation.
He analysed the water problem OF
meters and said the measuring OF
water resulted in economy. and he
gave his Judgment that fixing the cost
by the measurement of sewage would
work for economy. The speaker also
spoke for a plan of separating solids
from liquids and for the treatment OF,
the effluent along scientific lines. The
speaker illustrated his talk with lam
tern slides.
The prevalence of the grip and colds
among the members of the club kept
down the attendance somewhat, but
there was a fair-sized audience to
hear the interesting address. Owing
to the local sewerage situation, con-
siderable attention was given the
talk, and as the speaker supported
the argument used by the indepen-
dent communities, which refuse to en-
ter the Passaic valley scheme because
of the method of apportioning ex-
.pense and maintenance eharges. his
views were vigorously applauded

AGED WOMAN SUES
DAUGHTER-|N-LAW
Seeks Accounting of Fortune
Which, 1t Is Said, Has
Been Swept Away.

BY suing her widowed daughter-in-
law for $50 q month income, Mrs.
Elizabeth H. Coe, "a years old, of "A
Fourth avenue, East Orange, dis
covered that her sons entire estate of
100000 had melted into nothing.
Ill and penniless the aged woman
is not likely to receive further pay
ments, although her son. John Phyfe,
vino died in 1901, provided a trust
fund to secure her $500 a year. At
the same time he left his wife, Mrs.
Anna Amelia Phyfe, $95, 933.27 and
made her executor and trustee.
Mrs Phyfe, as she admits in a
pathetic petition filed with Surro-
gate Cohalan, in New York. knew
nothing of business. She says she
trusted a certain New York real es-
tate broker to manage her own prop
erty and make payments to Mrs. Coe.
Property Heavily Mortgaged.
1t was not til April, 1910, Mrs
Phyfe says, that she first learned thai
the money paid her by her business
man was not taken from the income
but from the principal of her estate
She learned then, too, that this mar
had caused properties owned by hel
to be heavily mortgaged, all unbe
known to her and without her con-
sent.
Attorney Henry A. Marks investi-
gated, and told her her affairs We're il
a bad way and that 1t was impossible
to tell from the books how her money
had been spent.

She throws herself upon the mercy

little POSSIBILITY
OF RAISE FOR COPS
Orange Commissioners Fail to
Act on Petition of City
Finest.

While the petition for an increase
in pay, signed by all patrolmen OF
the Orange police, was not denied
by the Orange Police Commission last
night, little hope of having 1t granted
was held out The commissioners de-
clared that they did not believe the
Common Council would appropriate
enough money to meet the demand.
In the budget arranged by the po-
lice board the Common Council is
asked to appropriate 500, 1880. This
amount is much larger than that
granted last year. For this reason,
the commissioners stated. they did
not believe the finance committee OF
the council would grant all the ap-
preparations asked,
A number of Improvements are
planned for the police department in
the event of the council appropri-
ating the sum asked for. The COM
missioners would add another desk
sergeant to the force, to relieve the
two sergeants now in charge, and
who are compelled to work twelve
hours at time.
To catch up with the speed fends
who auto through Orange the COM
missioners may add a number of
motorcycles to the department. Chief
of Police Drabell, in his annual re-
port, laid stress on this nuisance,
which endangers lives at all inter-
secting streets and crossings.
