Paid Bask Every Cent. There are a few Instances In the ca reer of Governor Fort that Illustrate the quality of the man. The first oc- curred just after he was out of law school. Ills father bad advanced mon ey for young Fort's education, but the boy did not rest until out of his first earnings be paid back every cent. The second Incident occurred when the young man was choosing a career. He Is not the first New Jersey gov ernor In the Fort family, bis uncle, George I. Fort, having held that exalt ed office back In the fifties. When ad vising with the old gentleman about the way to grab the success fruit off the political free the original Governor Fort advised his nephew to move to ' Jersey City and become a Democrat, os that was the only party through which he could hope for preferment To this the young man demurred. He did not object to Tersey City, but he was a Republican and would not change his coat for an t lb e. The third characteristic event was pulled oil many years later. In the meantime John Franklin Fort bad been doing things, bad served n long time as district Judge, was a leador at the bar and a political orator recog nized by Lis party. In was In SS-;, and his friends wanted him to be a delegate at large to the natural con- Fort's way. While going to the con vention.

Edward Addlcks-'Oas" Addloks of ' pol.iw arebe tired out of the couvon- ti -n and out of the vir;y. That was th.e MeKtnley year, and It was also i .To.dco Fort's privilege to make the nominating speech for Garret A. Ho hart for vice president. I do not know whether It was the speech that got Ilobart the plum or not. but I have my suspicions At any rate, the skin- ring of Add!' ks and the naming of Ilobart brought Fort a national repu tation as an orator. Judge Fort Is the author of the pro bation system In New Jersey, and the story of the manner lu which hi brought It about 'again reveals his courage. When he tlrst proposed such a law he had trouble lu finding a lo Islator who would stand for It. His own senator from Essex virtually re- fused to Introduce the bill, but Anally consented to put it In "by request.' Judge Fort requested a hearing before the legislature and presented the case so cogently that the bill passed both houses by practically a unanimous vote. So popular was the measure that whenever the senator from Essex thought of that "by request" he went mto a gecluded spot -and kicked him self. The probation systwtn puts men sentenced to prison on their honor and allows them to remain at large during good behavior. It sounds well In theo ry and has worked In practice. Eid Long Branch of Gamblers. Driving the gamblers out of Long Branch Is another case In point. Everybody suld It could not be done. The gamblers had large amount In vested, ran some of the most notorious Joints around New York, were In- trenched In power and controlled poll- tics. Justice Fort had nothing on bis side but the law and the fact He held the grand jury In continuous ses sion, indicted the light fingered gen tlemen, convinced them that he meant business, then told them to leave the state and if they ever came back he would fend them to state prison. They nent end did not return. Fort was stiil on the supreme bench vl;'-n he was nominated for governor. The politi'lans wanted him to con tinue holding the oflice after his nomi nation, offering many precedents for such a course. Rut that was not place on Sunday and flection dap. The liquor Interests, of count, op posed It, and the politician advised Fort to oldest ep tho Issue or go light on It Indorsement, hut that again w not his way. lie came out flatfootedly for the law and made It on of the chief Issues of his cniiilgn. And ho mount It. He proved that after he was elected governor. Atlan tic City found It out In a rather Jar ring manner. There Sunday closing la a Joke, or was till Fort told them that If they did not obey the law he would call au extra session of the legislature and see what could be done about It. Then Atlantic City awakened to the quality of the man. s Long Pranoh bad done before, and for the first time In her history actually cl.vsod her sa loons on Sunday. The natives have not got over the wonder of the thlug tv) this day. More Than a Party Man. That Fort has a real spinal column In place of the cartilage that too. often does service for that Important organ Is revealed bv other tin Ideius of his earoor-for example, his fight against the bosses of his own party to bring ..1. ... ..

Courage and con vletlon are higher than politics. Gov ernor Fort Is a party man, but he Is more. He Is loyal to the organisation, but docs not consider that the organ! ration consists alone of a few bosses, lie Is regular ami yet, after his own Ideals. Is a reformer. The tlrst article I "1N r"'ita, ''" ' ' "." , 01 tue law , l no uot is uu--i to in." fellow man. 1 think 1 will have gen eral assent In saying that John Frank lin Fort Is tho Koosovelt and Taft loader In his state, and I have my own assent In adding that the nation w ill know him better before he quits politics. It was one of the slushiest days of winter when I wont to Trenton to Inter view Governor Fort. To heighten the Interest of the occasion, the street car conductor, after the manner of his kind, carried mo several J.looks beyond my destination. When I got off to take a car back the street was full of run ning water and melting snow, and as I picked my way to the curb I tried to Imagine I was U. Washington crossing the Ice flecked IVtaware to fight the battle of Trenton. Ever since that day I have had a more lively appreciation of Washington's feat. I wonder what the Father of Ills Country would do if he ran np against the legislative Hes sians at Trenton now. And that re calls me from this digressive side rath to Governor Fort, for that Is Just what Fort has to do. Tall and Handsome. I found the governor about the hand somest man I have run up against since the days when I used to play chess with Charlie Magoon out In Lin coln. XIagoon wore a silk hat even In those days, as though he had a prophet ic hunch that he would be his excel lency of Panama and Cuba some day. I think Fort has It even over Magoon In the matter of looks. Indeed. In a Job lot of governors he would have all the rest looking like cheap Imitations.. He Is tall, but not too tall: fleshy, but not too fleshy youthful looking for bis years and yet redeemed from a too adolescent npionranoe by an Iron gray close cropped mustache. His photo graphs are like him and yet fall to re veal the fine lines of his face. If I were ordering a governor to till the Ideal specifications at every point I do not see how I could much Improve ou Fort. True, he has not the exuberant whiskers of Hughes, but for that I can forgive blm with my whole heart. My talk with Governor Fort was mt an Interview, but a chat. I wanted to know the man. not to pump him or put words Into bis mouth. Us said one thing, however, that caught me. It expressed his Jubilant faith In Americanism and fundamental de mocracy. A Republican legislature had Just elected Chamberlain, a Dem ocrat, senator from Oregon in olx-dl- ence to a mandate from me people To Fort this seemed n triumph of hu man honesty and popular government, He favored election of senators by the people. He believed, with De Tooquo vlile, that the cure Tor the evils of de mocracy Is more democracy. Put men on their honor. The masses have shown their capacity for orderly gov ernment. Trust them. These are but Indications of what he really did say, but he got my goat right there. In deed, he got It from bis first frank look and hearty word. My heart Is not a partisan, and It always did like leal men. Public Speaker Early In Life. John Franklin Fort was born In !So2, when his uncle was governor. ne comes from an old stock, there be' lng In the family an old oak trunk, dated "Roger Fort, lWfl." It Is plain that trunk was never subjected to the mercies of the modern baggage smash er. lotitig 1'ort graduated rrom rcn nington seminary and Intended to en ter college, but financial reverses pre vented. He taught Instead and then went to Albany Law school, where he was a roommate of Judge Alton H, Parker. Returning to Jersey, he made speeches for Grant before he was of age. As a result, he was made assistant Journal clerk In the legisla ture. Later he was admitted to the bar, stumped the state for George A. Ilalsey for governor, was appointed district Judge by Governor George R. M'-CIellan, a Democrat, presided over the convention that nominated Gen eral E. P.urd Grubb for governor and over that which named John w. Griggs for the same office, was made a Judge of common pleas In 1SD" and abont four years later was elevated to the supreme bench Lame Shoulder. This Is a common form of muscular rheumatism. No Internal treatment Is needed. Apply Chamberlain s lini ment freely three times a day and a quick cure Is certain. This liniment has proven esp:lally valuable for muscular and chronic rheumatism.

New Discovery Brings Dispatcher In Direct Touch With Engineer. PREVENTIVE OF ACCIDENTS. Union Pacifio Railroad Installing on Locomotivtt Davie Expctd to Ob viat Dngr of Nondtlivry of Or dtrt to Englnon on tlio Road. The actual control of running trains by w ireless telegraphy took il step for want when the I'nlon pncltlc railroad recently ispilpped one of Its locomo tives with a wireless dovlot by which a train dispatcher may sit at his desk and send an order rkht It. to the cab of any hvoinotlve on the line of too twnd wlthltt "talking distance" of his machine. sas the Washington Star. And, since "talking distance" Is gov trued, only by the strength of the cur rout and can bo lengthened at will, It lll be seen that the new discoveries of tht railroad's wireless expert, l'r. Frederick Mllleiter will forever put an end to those accidents that have often resulted when some telegraph operator failed to deliver a train order width hail boon sent hlui. tu an emergency of this kind the train dispatcher will now simply (ouch a .telegraph key, ami far out on the rail road line. In the cab of the locomotive which Is In danger, a gong will begin ringing, and before the eyes of lite en gineer a red llt!ht will t'ash, while n miniature semaphore, palmed red. will rise to the "danger" position, and both the engineer mid llreiuaii will know there Is deadly peril ahead for them selves and (heir train. As yet only the one locomotive has Wvn equipped with lite wireless appa ratus, but so well does this operate ami so satisfactory Is Its work that It Is only a ijuestloti of a short time until every bvoinotlvo on the system Is til ted with the safety device. With wireless sending station every hundred miles along the main line. Dr. Mlllener says the dispatchers will be In absolute touch with every en gineer on the road at every minute and will be able to communicate with either should It become necessary to do so. The Instruments are simple and 'compact. The sendiug apparatus which Is placed In the shops of the I'nlon Pacific in Omaha occupies less space than any wireless sending ap paratus ever built. The curreut, generated by a dyna mo, goes Into an Interrupter at !S) volts and there ts transformed and transferred Into between TtKi.OX) aud SiXUH) volts. Franklin plates are used as conductors. A Massey cooling de vice Is used to keep the dlsrupture discharge points cool. In tho tuning coll the alternating current Is changisl Into a high voltnge oscillating alter natlng current, from which It Is con ducted to ground and anchor cap and thence to the antenna, where It Is ills charged Into the air. The antenna on the cab of the loco motive picks up the current, carries It down Into the cab and Into the receiv ing Instruments within a brass boi not unlike a tire alarm box. On the front of this box Is the big gong, whose ringing can be heard above any noise that can be made by the locomotive Just above this goug and on the fact of the box are the little nal semaphore and the red danger signal, and when tho gong sounds the semaphore goo to "danger" and the red light flashes. DEFENSE CF "NICKELETS." Improva, Don't Aboliah, Fiva Cent Theaters, Sys Chicago Pastor. In reference to the present agitation concerning the conduct of five cent theaters, or "uiekelets." as they are widely known, the Itev. A. E. liartlett of Chicago present the view that the entertainments should be Improved rather than abolished. "Amusements have uo character In and of themselves," he says. "They are good or bad as the people make them so. It Is both unjust and un wise to condemn outright dancing, card playing ami theater going. All wholesome amusements are needed, but Instead of trying to aboliah them the church should seek to purify and uplift them. The five cent theater has become one of 'the great problems In recreation which our city must solve. Its low price has enabled It to reach the multitudes, including many chil dren. Our city needs these cheap amusements, but It does not need nor should It surfer coarse and unclean entertalnmentit." Funeral of Puritan Days. A Puritan day funeral took place re cently nt North Kingston, U. 1., when the body of John 8.
