Five million dollars is the loss fixed
by Vies President Loomis of the Dela- j
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road company by the fire Sunday night.
The company carries its own insurance,
and the loss great as it is, will not prob
ably be fully covered.
The fiames destroyed five great steam
ahip wharves, thousands of tons of val
uable merchandise and at least sixty
canal boats and barges.
A fireboat patrol to protect the large
shipping interests of the Jersey side of
the Hudson has become an urgent nec
essity. _
According to the United States Bur
eau of Education the college man has
just two hundred times the chance of
success over the man without a college
education. This verdict is based upon
10,000 names from “Who’s Who in
America.”
It might be said at the start says the
“State Gazette.” that the success of the
gentlemen figuring in “Who’s Who” is
the success, that is, after all. gauged by
the fortunate 10,000 themselves.
If “Who's Who” were the compilation
of an absolutely unbiased board of crit
ics the story of the success might read
somewhat otherwise. But success is rel
ative. Conceding that out of 10.000 in
the niche of fame of “Who’s Who” more
than 70 per cent, sustain the contention
of the Bureau of Education, the other
«
fact that there are in the United States
more than 14.000.000 males over 30
years of age—as the bureau staff esti
mates—it follows reasonably that the
success of the fortunate 10,000 of “Who’s
Who” must be success in special lines.
Of the more than 14,000.000 males over
30 years of age the census shows 1,757.
023 to be wholly without education.while
years of age the census shows 1.757,023
to be wholly without education, while
12,054.335 went no further than the el
ementary departments of the public or
parochial schools.
Yet if the logic of the Bureau of Edu
cation is to be accepted, out of the 14,
GOO,000 males over 30 years only 325,613
are to be considered as in the line of suc
cess. for only what number can lay
claim to collegiate education, as “Who’s
Who” defines in its story of the 10,000.

Men who have baffled the Attempt of

Foundation for securing to ourselves, our
Posterity, and our Neighbours. That, to
which Nature and the Laws of our
Country have given us a Right,—The
Liberty—both of exposing and opposing

These are the concluding words of the
stirring plea in defence of John Peter
Zenger in his famous trial for publishing
libellous articles in the “New York
Weekly Journal.” in 1733—the trial
that, in its acquittal of Zenger, establish
ed in this country the liberty of the press
and the right of the jury in suits for
libel to determine both the law and the
fact.
Zenger was the second printer of New
York and the account of his life, his
press, and trial are given in a recently
published volume, entitled “John Peter
Zenger,” by Livingston Rutherford.
The volume also contains a biography
of the issues of the Zenger Press, a list
of the issues of “The New York Weekly
Journal,” and a literal reprint of the

“The Villa Claudia.”
The mystery which is the foundation
of Mr. Mitchell’s new romance is halted
at early in its pages and at once arouses
the reader’s interest. Notwithstanding
a generous use of the author’s delicious
way of dealing with sentimental rela
tions between young persons of owiosite
sexes, the mystery is the dominant note.
It would be unfair to the reader to give
any hint of just what it is or to reveal
its solution: it is enough to say that Mr.
Mitchell has embodied in “The Villa
Claudia” a thoroughly new idea and1 has
handled it in a way to hold the reader’*
close attention to the very end. The
scene of the story is laid at a villa in
modern Tivoli, the town which in the
time of Horace was Tibur and was the
favorite dwelling place of the jolly Latin
poet. His Sabine farm was neaiby, and
in many of his verses he celebrates this
delightful locality. The classic spirit is
preserved by frequent quotations from
the allusions to the poet, and still more
classic favor is given to the book by
numerous engravings of scenes and ob
jects connected with Trbur. The charac
ters, however, are all modern and mostly
American.
All in all. “The Villa Claudia” is a
delightful medley of antiquity and mod
ernity. sentiment and humor, with a de
cided dash of good sense and philosophy.
The Town of Bath.
Dodd, Mead & Company announce
for early publication “The World of
'Fashion and of Letters at Bath Under
Queen Anne and the Georges,” by A.
Barbean.
In this study of a famous watering
place, an accomplished writer has paint
ed a lively picture of a curious and al
together vanished phase of nEglish so
ciety. Bath under the Georges was
recognized as an almost obligatory meet
ing place for society. Smollett and
Sheridan, Jane Austen and Dickens, are
only a few of the great writers who
have given us pictures of its bygone
glories. Tbe book treats very fully and
very entertainingly of the last days of
the Seventeenth Century; of the King
at Bath, and the relation of royalty to
fashionable life; the amusements of the
place; the men of letters connected with
it; and the arts and sciences fostered
and practiced there.
Max Beerbohm Again.
Dodd, Mead and Company announce
for early publication "The Poet’s Cor

This is another of Beei*ohm’s portfol

of certain modern poets. The portfolio
is purposely made to appear like a child’s

Betty M’Coy's Strange Story
Resembles the “Weptof
Wishton Wish.”
HER GRAVE IN LAMINGTON
She Escaped From Her Cap
tors and Lived Long in
Somerset County,
Ferhaps only a few of the older resi
dents of Lamington, Somerset County,
today remember a singular and eccen
tric woman, known as Betty McCoy,
who arrived there at the time Rev.
William Boyd was pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, and became a mem
ber of that congregation, says the North
Branch coorrespondent of the Newark
“Sunday News.” She became known
far and near, not only. because of her
eccentricities, but for her great piety.
A recent visit to her burying place re
calls the story of her early life, before
she went to Lamington, as often told
by herself.
It seems that when she was a very
small child she was stolen by the In
dians, and after she had grown into
years she could never recall or give
any clue to where she was born oi
where her parents lived. When still a
child she often alluded to Minisink, and
may have been first taken there and
later carried down into Virginia. There
she concocted a plan to escape to the
Revolutionary army. She made the
made the effort and was pursued. Dur
ing her flight she saw a number of huge
brush heaps and secreted herself in one
of them. The savages set fire to the
piles around her, intending to burn her
out, but the heap in which she was con
cealed escaped the blaze and she was
unharmed. By her not coming out the
Indians thought they were off of the
trail and gave up the pursuit. Her
miraculous escape she always consid
ered the interposition of Providence, and
from that time on she was a devoted
Christian.
Reaching the army in safety, she fol
lowed the fortunes of the soldiers, min
istering to th» sick and the wounded
during the Southern campaign. Though
her voice was harsh, her speech unlet
tered. she never having learned to read
or write, and her face homely, the men
in the army considered her a gem as
a nurse. When peace was declared she
came North and found her way to Lam
ington, at the age of sixteen years, and
began her mission, going from house to
bouse, scattering the seeds of the gos
pel in her rough but earnest way.
On Betty's arrival at Lamington the
good people there became deeply inter
ested in the tale of her difficulties and

“ A tumor came on my neck and in a

tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
Insist on nsing .the knife, I would not
consent to go. Instead, I got Cutlcnra

took the former according to direc

Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing it I would bathe my neck in very
warm water and Cnticnra Soap. In a
few days the Cnticnra Ointment had
drawn the swelling to a head, when it
broke. Every morning It was opened
with a large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment pnt
on. Pus and blood, and a yellow,
cheesy, tumorous matter came oat. In
about three or four weeks' time this
treatment completely eliminated the

free if the other residents would build
her a dwelling. Accordingly, a small
building was erected on a lot set aside
for the purpose. Betty put a brush
fence around it and lived there to a
good old age.
Near where the little house was is
perhaps the oldest cemetery in the
neighborhood. It was deeded to the
Presbyterian Church of Lafcington in
1743, by James Alexander and Daniel
D. Dunstar, who were the original pur
chasers of a large tract of land where
I.amington now stands. The name was
derived from the river passing through
the place, which was called by the In
dians the Allametunk, but, sharing the
fate of many majestic savage appella
tions. has been flattened down to “Lam
ington.’’
The church was erected before the
cemetery was deeded and burials had
been made o nthe grounds. The first of
which there was any record was that of
Hephzibah, wife of William Jones, who
died in 1740. Elizabeth, wife of Isaac
Ross, died June 2, 1741, aged twenty
nine. The following names and dates

fice in No. 62 Montgomery street and tel
ephone number 110, sold the following

Perlmrr m a Fine Alt.
In India, according to an English
man who lived there many years, the
more educated class reduce perjury to
a fine art. If a case Is to come before
the court they are not content with
coaching their witnesses beforehand,
but they take them to the very spot
where the deed was committed and go
through all the incidents of the assuult
or tragedy to be sworn to, so that the
various subpoenaed witnesses are Ut
ile likely to be caught by any cross ex
amination, no matter how severe It
may be. He cites an instance of the
methods of the ordinary Hindoo law
yer. A British officer bad made a num
ber of purchases of a Parsee merchant,
who charged him such unreasonable
prices that he refused to pay the bill.
The merchant brought suit, and the
officer consulted a lawyer, who agreed
to take the case and win It if be were
not interfered with. This was prom
ised. When the trial came off, the de
fense promptly acknowledged the pur
chase of the articles at the prices
named, but produced half a dozen wit
nesses who swore that they had seen
the bill paid.
A Remarkable Sahoolroom.
One of the most remarkable school
rooms in the world is surely that of
La Petite Roquette, the Paris prison
for juvenile offenders. The system of
this prison is that of solitary confine
ment, the whole building being so con
structed that each of the detached cells
Is overlooked by a warder stationed on
a small observation tower. The school
room consists of 200 cells in the form j
of an amphitheater, from each of
which the teacher, and the teacher
only, can be seen. Each of the youth
ful offenders takes bis place In silence,
the first in the farthermost cell and the
others In rotation. The closing of one
of these cell doors opens that of the
next cell. The voice of the teacher is
the only sound to be beard In the buUd
ing. Religious services are conducted
In the same way, each of the inmates
being able to see the officiating clergy
man, and him alone.
Th* Wild Boar of India.
General Sir Montague Gerard of the
British army in his book of reminis
cences has much to say about hunting.
During his twenty years’ residence in
India he killed nearly 200 tigers, some
of them dreaded man eaters, while his
bags of other wild animals would be
difficult to number. Terrible as is the
tiger, the wild boar is even more sav
age and dangerous to , attack. His
tusks frequently grow to nine or ten
inches in length and are as sharp as a
razor. Tigers have a special dread of
him, and in their encounters, which
sometimes happen, he nearly always
comes out victor. In pig sticking,
which is always done with a spear on
horseback, there is constant danger of
his disemboweling horses, in which
case the rider often suffers also. Gen
eral Gerard had many narrow escapes.
Tl>e Orange Tree.
The orange tree is regarded as a
prince among trees and the emblem of
genius. A peculiarity of this tree ia
that It bears fruit and flower at the
same time. Its leaves are evergreen,
and as it grows older it grows in beau
ty and fruitfulness, its blossom filling
the air with its fragrance. It is indeed
a fit emblem of marriage promise and
hopes. The orange tree is considered
typical of love because, though its fruit
is golden and its flavor and scent deli
cious, its rind is bitter, and. as every
one knows who has experienced it, Cu
pid’s dart causes pain. The orange Is
emblematic of gratitude as well as of
genius and love.
Voting In tne Common*.
In the British house of commons, as
soon as the question to be decided is
put from the chair, a clerk at the table
sets in motion a huge sand glass, famil
iarly known to members as the “egg
boiler,” probably because it takes three
minutes to run out. As the last sand
runs through the glass the sergeant-at
arms Instantly locks the massive oqk
doors of the chamber and only those
members who have succeeded in get
ting through the doorway can vote.
