THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1896.

This paper is Democratic in principles and is independent in its views on all local

questions.

The Cmt »t Mr·. Cattle.

Together with some considerate utter- L ances, there have been printed an aston-

L lshij/ number of foolish and narrow

F comments upon the case of Mrs. Ella Β Castle, the rich American woman who

was imprisoned for shop-lifting in Lon- don. Perhaps the most painful feature of these is the snobbishness which they exhibit.

The favorite theory of the present day Is that all crime is a product of patho- logical conditions, inherited or acquired; In other words, the advanced criminolo-

gist holds that crime is a disease, and the

method of treatment most scientifically advocated is curative in character instead of punitive. It must be admitted that this theory, of which Lombroso is the high priest, finds less favor In England than anywhere else; but even English law and English opinion consent to the proposition that much crime Is due to mental disease. In America, however, where the comments on the Castle case

are more severe and more foolish, as a

rule, than those of the British press, the

pathological theory has many advocates, none more strenuous as a rule than the editors themselves, and our treatment of criminals in the more advanced States Is gradually shaping Itself to accord with the idea.

Under these conditions, it Is peculiarly provoking to see the American news-

papers, one after another, go off on the contrary tack in the case of Mrs. Castle, praise the evenhandedness of English "justice" and speak of the leniency shown

to the unhappy woman as a concession to her wealth and social position. This appears to us to be not only Illogical humbug but snobbery of the grossest kind.

The pathological aspects of Mrs. Cas- tle's ease appear to be beyond all doubt- ing. The expert medical evidence is am- ple to settle the matter; but even reject- ing It on the vulgar claim of suborna- tion, which some lamentable people make, the facts on their very face establish mental Irresponsibility on the part of Mrs. Castle.

Mr. Labouchere, in his usual sensa-

tional way, Institutes a contrast between her case and that of a poor governess who was caught stealing a fur boa, and who was sentenced to several months at hard labor for it. Now, we know noth-

ing about the case of the governess. It ue one οι narasmp; Dut the distinc-

tion between It and Mrs. Castle's case

Is obvious even on the crudest statement of the facts. The theft of an ornamental article of dress by a poor governess Is, ten chances to one, a mere ordinary yielding to temptation to steal for the sake of the enjoyment of the products of the theft. It may be a case of klepto- mania, of course, but there is nothing In the facts as Mr. Labouchere states them to suggest It, even remotely.

But when a rich woman, who can buy anything she pleases and Is, therefore, subjected to no temptation whatever of the ordinary kind, steals a more or less miscellaneous collection of articles, many of them useless and all of them superflu- ous as respects her needs, when she then, instead of mingling them with her general effects and using them, hides them all together in one trunk, as a

magpie hides the articles It steals, as- suredly the proceeding Is not a rational one, not a sane one, not the act of a

responsible person, and all the editorials that ever were written or all the rulings or judgments of all the courts In Great

~ "Britain cannot make It look rational or sane or essentially criminal In the eyes of an impartial commonsensical observer.

But If the act is not one of sanity, if it la thft 1

product of ascertained conditions of un-

sound health, why should the unfortu- nate woman who commits It be punished; Why should the sad calamity with which Providence has visited her be exagger- ated through the stupidity and cold- blooded cruelty of mankind? We do no4. know what degree of sympathy the gov- erness may or may not deserve, but as-

curedly there Is room In the ease of the rich woman, whose wealth and social position are now her special curse, for all the pity that one Is capable of.

Mt. Labouchere seems to think it a

hardship not only that Mrs. Castle was released but also that she was not sen-

tenced to hard labor. This is also a jaundiced and snobbish view of .the case. The fact of the matter is, Mrs. Castle, in the mere fact of her arrest, incurred a

penalty of unspeakable severity, and even if she had been guilty in the fullest sense, the imposition of hard labor would simply have been an unprofitable cruelty akin to the exposure In the pillory and whip- ping which used to go with nearly every penitentiary sentence in Germany and same other countries as recently as forty

or fifty years ago. Punishment should have some reference to the capacity ol

the victim for suffering, and It Is plain that what might be only a reasonable

severity for one culprit might be grossly excessive In the case of another.

We have been told some odd things about British tribunals In connection with

this case. We learn that rich and In-

fluential persons may have their misdeeds

suppressed Id the courts, If only pub- licity can be avoided. If a case Is kept

out of the newspapers so that there Is no

scandal. It will not be pursued unless ft

be uncommonly heinous. But the mo-

ment a case attains publicity, there Is

no longer even Justice to be had. There

Is not one law for the rich and another

for the poor, on the contrary the rich

are given no kind of toleration. Prose-

cutors and Judges both pursue them with

the utmost virulence for fear of being

suspected of partiality. Amazing as It is, this is the sort of

'even handed Justice" that American

papers are willing to praise. We And,

for instance, this preposterous remark hi

the Newark "Evening News" of Tues-

day:— The c*jse of Mrs. Castle is a sad one.

But It serves again to illustrate with what steady and even hand Justice proceeds in the courts of Engla-nd, and to Indicate anew that kleptomania has come to be regarded as a polite term for common, every-day larceny. It would rather seem that the course of

the British courts Indicated the most ab-

ject moral cowardice, the most shocking

contempt for true Justice and the gross- est and most vulgar snobbery. That the

very official, who will bootlick a gentle- man or lady so long as his or her posi- tion is unassailed, will take the oppor- tunity of wiping his feet on their rights and feelings If he gets them in his power, Is characteristically British, which Is to

say brutal, coarse and irrational.

AMUSEMENTS. "Sliar· Acres*9 at the Academy of

Mûrie· " Shore Acre» " is doing a mag-

nificent business at the Academy of Music. Last evening every seat ira the house, including the boxes, were sold, and people were turned away. It may be truly said that out of the sim-

plest ingredient® Mr. Heme has evolved a play that will probably live longer than

any American work yet produced. Nathaniel and Martin Berry were brothers living together on a farm in Maine. "Shore Acres," as the farm is called, was

on the seoooast, and the Berrys spent part of their time tending the lighthouse on a neighboring headland. Nathaniel was the elder, and from the time it'heir father was drowned at sea, he had been wont to watch over Martin, give in to him and make things as easy as he could for him. In short, Nathaniel was one of those men whose very strength of character seemed like weakness. He sac- rifices himself for every one. A simple, courageous soul, a man with a heart as

big as all New England, was Nathaniel Berry. This is the man James A. Herne has chosen for the hero of his play, "Shore Acres," and in the modern drama no more beautiful If homely character is to be found. There is a beautiful love story unfolded in this play. It is a new

type. The lovers do not wear their hoirts upon their sleeves, nor do they show much outward affection, yet one knows they are reaj lovers, and if need be, they would sacrifice their lives for each other. Their parting in the first act is a wonderful bit of native realism that is sure to move the sympathetic mind to tears. The Amer- ican stage cannot have too many plays like "Shore Acres."

"Little Trlxle" at the Lyric Theatre Dainty May Smith Robbins, who ap-

pears at the Lyric Theatre three days commencing this evening in the musical comedy "Little Trlxie," Is fast gaining recognition as one of the most versatile soubrettes now before the .public. She is aaid to be one of the greatest little danc- ers in America and her comedy Work is far above the average In Its quaint humor end charming artleseness being particu- larly attractive to lady audiences. The play is bright, breezy and funny, but at the same time refined, interesting and oleasine.

An Excellent Bill at tbe Ben Ton The excellent show at the Bon Ton con-

tinues to please the numerous patrons of that popular play house. All the per- formers this week are clever and leaders in their respective lines. It is a difficult matter to make comparisons, as all are so

good. Such artists as Lester and Will- iams, the Dunbars, Harry Edwards and Daisy Kernell, Ward and Lynch, Cad Hunter, Fritz Leslie, the Carions and Dick Sands are all guarantees of an excellent performance. Mr. Mori ζ Bonenthal'e Next Concert

The date of Mr. Morlz Rosenthal's next concert In Carnegie Hall was. through an

error, incorrectly announced in last night's "News" as to take place on November 7. The concert will -be given on Novem- ber 17.

T. T.OTnS, Nov. 12, 1896.—Miss Frances Willard has arrived here to preside

over the approaching sessions of the an- nual convention of the National Women's Christian Temperance Union. Aided by Louise C. Purrington, M.D., of Dorches- ter, Mass., she has prepared a survey of the progrès» of woman in all parts of the world, chiefly in 1896, but partly during protracted periods in different religious denominations and in various religious societies.

The compilation of facts includes re- ligious and philanthropic, educational, political, medical, legal, literary and ar- tistic circles. It shows that the women in the Methodist Episcopal Church have in the past four years collected for for- eign missions $1,153,797, for home missions $786,265. They have 51 deaconess' homes, 15 of which are in foreign lands. These dea- conesses work without salary, and have held 1,000 meetings and have cared for 6,000 sick people.

Mrs. Maggie N. Van Cott is the most noted evangelbt Sn the Methodist de- nomination today. For 30 years she has been preaching the Gospel, and it is esti- mated that more than 70,000 people have been converted through her.

No woman has rendered more distin- guished service the past year than Clara Barton, who, at TO years of age. dared an unfriendly climate and ventured to a most inhospitable capital. It Is the poetic Justice of history that in the na- tion where man's tyranny has crushed woman into the very earth two tender- hearted Christian women, who never had homes of their own, have carried the hallowed home Influence of the gos- pel to heal the wounded and to feed the starving.

Dr. Grace Kimball, Van, Turkey, has done an eminent work In the Industrial bureau for the relief of the Armenians; 1,150 persons have been employed, sup- porting 3.300 persons. The approximate number helped at the central bureau is 15,230.

One-fourth of the fellowships of the University of Chicago are held by women. Eleven State and fourteen col- leges or universities are represented. Three women fellows have given instruc- tion in the university this year. Of 400,000 •teachers in the United States, forty-three per cent, are women; in England the pro- portion is even greater.

OQM QBEQ ATIOHALIBTS MEET- Delegates From tbc Northern New

Jersey Conference In Sesslen. Spécial to the Jertcv Citv Ktw*.

MONTCLAIR. Nov. 12, 181».—One hun- dred delegates representing the Congre- gational churches in the Northern New Jersey Conference, assembled yesterday morning in the First Congregational Church at the annual fall session. The exercises were opened with a twenty- minute devotional service, led by Rev. C. T. Miller, of Woodbridge. Then fol- lowed the roll call of the churches, nearly all within the conference bejng present.

Rev. James M. Whiton, of Brooklyn, N. T., one of the editors of the "Outlook," was chosem moderator, and Rev. Dr. Brown, assistant moderator. The reports of committiees were then taken up, the most important being that of Applied Christianity, of which Rev. William F. Cooley, of Chatham, Is chairman.

He reported thai his commiutee had not sought anything from the Legislature as yet, but thought it would be well for the conference to pass a resoltttion calling for a law like that in New York State,which fixes the distances from churches within which saloons may be licensed.

"We did not," said Mr. Cooley, "see our way for further agitation as to direct leg- islation at present. The Populists having adopted this as one of their reforme would quite certainly prejudice It for the time being to the minds of the public, but we recommend that each church should have some society for the systematic study of this and other reform movements that come under the head of "Applied Chris- tianity.' " The report was acted upon in the afternoon.

A nominating committee of three was appointed to select officers for the ensuing year, and to report before the close of the conference. Rev. H. K. Dewlinger.of Caldwell; Miss Anna Bradshaw, of Orange Valley, a returned missionary from Japan; Rev. Edwin Fairley, of Roseland: Rev. F. G. Taylor, of Passaic; Rev. W. W. Clark and others were elected corresponding members.

FLEMINGTON, Nov. 12, 1896.—While gunning on Sourland Mountain yesterday for rabbite, George Mayhuff, of New York city, was accidentally shot by his bosom friend, Herman Fagan, also of New York city. Mayhuff and Fagan had come to Hunterdon County to enjoy thé first day of the hunting season.

With a party of ilocal sportsmen, May- huff and Pagan left for Sourland Moun- tain. They started a woodcock. Fagan fired at the bird, and did not see Mayhuff who stood about twenty yards away. When Fagan fired Mayhuff fell to the ground. Fagan saw his friend fall and thought he had killed him. He wae al- most overcome with grief.

The injured man jumped to his feet quickly. His wounds were bleeding pro- fuaely and his body was covered with blood. Two shot had passed through May- huff's upper lip, knocking two of his teeth out. Another grain passed through the side of his neck and two through hia wrist. He was otherwise badly injured, the greater part of the load having struck him.

FLEMINGTON, Nov. 12, 1896.—Frank Craig, an Easton bartender, who was

serving a six months' sentence on a

charge of having attempted to shoot Mrs. Bertha Harrison, proprietor of an

Anandale ihotel, has escaped from the Hunterdon county authorities. Craig was

It was learned that he walked to Rin- goes, where he boarded a traita from Fleming'ton. Word was telegraphed to Lambertville to arrest Craig, but he was not on the train, and it is thought he became frightened and left the train a't Alexauken. The authorities are on his track and his recapture is only a matter of a few hours. Craig's sentence with the exception of a small fine, would have expired yesterday morning.

A GIGANTIC CANAL Professor Enke's Marvel-

lous Scheme on Which He Has Worked

Thirty Years.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT BY WATER

Boards of Trade and Labor Or-

ganizations Endorse the Plans — Jersey Ship Canal

Urged.

A Trenton correspondent of the Newark "Evening News'* writes as follows: When Prof. J. R. Enke's great scheme for build- ing a gigantic canal across this continent by aid of the Government shall have been adopted by Congress, to whom It will be submitted in the near future, and the canal shall have been completed, the wonder they now call the Suez Canal will be but a mere inland waterway of trifling Importance;

After thirty years of ceaseless labor, the professor now has his plans completed, and they contemplate the meet wonderful Inland ocean canal ever dreamt of. With- in the past few months the professor has had the gratification of seeing, hi» plans approved and adopted by the Board of Trade of the city of Philadelphia, and also by several State engineering associations and the Machinists' Union as well. The Central Labor Union of New York dis- cussed and adopted the plans Sunday, and they were submitted to the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor in con- vention at Rochester, Ν. Y., today, and will also be exhibited at the convention of the American Federation of Labor to be in session in Cincinnati next month.

While the professor's echeme contem- plates a gigantic ship canal from ocean to ocean, and his plans of construction are upon this idea, his immediate Inten- tion embraces only a ship canal across New Jersey from Sandy Hook to Tren- ton and thence down the Delaware River to Delaware Bay and out into the Atlan- tic Ocean. The professor's scheme in- cludes the making of the Delaware River from Trenton down navigable for ships of whatever tonnage and for the largest man-o'-war afloat.

*1. ίο yiwjfubtu ιν uuua me canal nicy feet in depth, with a width of 330 at the surface and 300 feet at the bottom, which will give a slope of fifteen feet to either wall," said the professor to a reporter when seen at his residence, No. 238 Mer- cer street, Trenton, yesterday morning·. "I propose a bottom of concrete of suffi- cient thickness to withstand any leakage by reason of quicksands, of which there Is a great deal in New Jersey, and the banks to be absolutely solid.

"The Intention is that on one side of the canal there should be ample room

for an eight-track railroad, and on the other there should be sufficient ground for hundreds of manufacturing concerns.

The coping of the top of the wall will be ten feet in width." the professor went on. "The route will be between fifty-five and sixty miles across the State, and my projected canal, of course, if adopted, will take the place of that proposed by the Board of Trade canal that lias been discussed. This pian I proposed years

ago, at the time when Slidell and Mason ran the blockade, during the late war.

There should be a means of inter-naviga- tion to avoid both storms in peace and blockades In war. The plan I propose and its construction will be as good 10,000 years from now as when first built. I propose that the Government shall con-

struct the canal. My only interest in the

scheme would be as the designer, and the credit its success would give me. I

have already brought the project, to the attention of the chairman of the Inter-

state Canals of Congress, Thomas Mc-

Ewan, and got the endorsement of the

several organizations interested, and in-

tend, if possible, to get recognition from

Congress. Under the present construction of can-

als, the best speed that eau safely bs moHc. ία fiuo a.r\A λ hnlf fir κΐ* mfïp« an

hour. By my plain vessels can safely travel as fast as ocean steamers and es-

cape the dangers of the ocean. If Con- gress allows rivers to be used to feed the upper levels It would be a curse and not a

blessing. Speed Is everything in our age. AU navigable waterways should be under the control of the Government. There should be double locks, impervious to muskrats, of 1,700,000.000 gallons capacity.

"My proposition is to take a canal from any point where we can get a reservoir to fill it—the Allegheneys, for instance. I have not figured on the cost—there is no

doubt it will be great—but the benelit to commerce in peace and the country in case of war will more than pay it. The object is to border on the Atlantic coast and construct to and connect with the Great Lakes, and from New York to Trenton and the Chesapeake; in fact, to improve our military defences. The same

plan Is feasible in inland canals to cross

the continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We require speed, and the con- struction should be such to permit the highest speed. The banks must be con- structed to recoil the water. The Suez Canal cost Î60,000,000.and tixiay they could build a new canal cheaper than to repair it. The profit on the Sue® Canal has been already J9.000.000,000, and it cost only (60,000,000 to construct It."

Dr. Enke exhibited a large number of irawings. He said they had been exam- ined by see. captains and sea engineers. He had never submitted his plans to the jovernment, and only made a mere refer- ence to it to a committee of Congress. The work, of couree, would be a meet ex-

tensive one, and would require a large amount of money and a strong force of engineers, laborers and other auxiliaries to complete it. The time that would be .irvjuiiru IV «IV ut vvuisv,

would depend entirely upon the force that would be employed. In his Judgment It would take for the completion of the New Jersey division of the work, perhaps from three to five years.

In closing the doctor said:—"I have studied the construction of several works, canals especially, the coat per mile for both excavation and conetructlon, build- ing of looks, concrete work, banks, etc. For instance, the Suez Canal coat, in dif- ferent sections of its route, from *200,000 to $600,000 per mile, and it averaged for its whole length not less than ΐοΰΟ,ΟΟΟ a mile. In that country labor ie ν try much cheaper than in the United States, where the workingman gets better wages than in almost any other country on the globe. Laibor is cheaper now than it has been for years, and the laborer is seeking em-

ployment, and needs it. Work done now will benefit both labor and capital."

JUDGE GREEN'S MEMORY United States Court Offieers

Adopt Suitable Resolu-

tions.

Special to the Jersey City Ifnm.

TRENTON, Nov. 12, 1896,-Distrlct At- torney J. Kearney Rice has drawn up a

set of resolutions, eulogistic of the late Judge Edward T. Green. The resolution» •have been spread upon the minutes of the U. S. Circuit and District Courts and signed by the officers and attaches of the courts.

Deputy Clerk Frank R. Brandt Is en-

gaged in engrossing a copy of the testi- monial, which will be presented to the

family of the deceased judge. A co.py of the resolutions follow:— We who are connected with the United

States Courts in New Jersey enter this minute as an expression of our feelings caused by the death of our friend and associate, Edward T. Green, late the pre- siding Judge of the United States District Court in New Jersey.

Our relations with him were not merely official relations, but warm, personal ones, which grew closer and closer as the years rolled on.

Very many of us have been more or less Intimate with him long previous to his

with the Federal Courts, and as we were thrown more frequently together in late years, by reason of our official relations, the ties between us became so close that, as has been well said, "we were all as it were of one family," and his death came amongst us with the same crushing effect death has when it enters upon the family circle.

Judge Green in his official career was a model man and jurist, careful, pains- taking. courteous and true. New Jersey never has had, either In the Federal or State Judiciary, a more faithful public servant. His absolute fairness won for ; him the admiration of all suitors having ί litigation here.

He listened as attentively to the young | practitioner as he d d to those of mature experience, giving frequently to the young and inexperienced lawyer in federal pro- cedure the advantages of suggestions made which would perhaps clear up legal obstacles which might arise in his path. In this respect Judge Green's course was

very sim.iar to that of the late Chan- cellor Runyon, a man who was beloved by all the younger members of the bar from one end of New Jersey to the other.

Judge Green's great learning and close application in discharging the duties of the office, both in the District and in the Circuit Courts, was the cause of much litigation be ng brought into those courts by gentlemen of the profession who wish- ed for speedy determinations of matters in which they were interested; and to meet the great pressure of business pend- ing in the courts here, he worked, we fear and believe, more than he should have done, and weakened that strong physical system which he once possessed, so that it was unable to resist the ravages of sickness and disease. Had he spared himself he would, we believe, humanly speaking, have been alive today. But that was not his nature* He had work to do. He felt that he must accommo- date the suitors in the courts, and he did accommodate them. He worked day and night, and also in the summer season and during the period when most judges were

enjoying their vacations he was at work. In social and personal life, Judge Green

was a man of men. He had a personal magnetism about him which drew people unto him. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word and he was a Christian in its fullest meaning. If ever a man

obeyed the golden rule, 4T>o unto others as you would that others should do unto you," he was the one.

Judge Green was full of practical charity—reliable Information tells us of many instances of it. and in cases where nnne but those who were the reciDients of that charity, and he, Knew ot it. He never told what he did. Blest with means, he considered it his duty to help those In need and who were not able to help themselves, but he took good care to do It in that private, quiet manner in which it was his custom to act, not let- tine any one know what was being done.

The resolutions, after referring to the sacred relations of the late judge to Ms family, feelingly close in these beautiful words:—"He Is sleeping, but he shall awake again on the morning of the resur- rection. when he will be united with those who were near and dear to him here, never more to be separated. This Is the consolation we would offer to the be- reaved family. It is all that man can do or say. The separation will only be temporary. Judge Green's life work Is done; it was well done and he is at rest."

The signatures to the resolution are;— J. Kearny Rice, t". S. Attorney; Thomas

J. O'Brien, Assistant U. S. Attorney; S. D. Oliphant, Clerk U. S. Circuit Court: H. D. Oliphant. Deputy Clerk; Lewis W. Scott, Charles L. Chevrter, Assistant CVerks.
