most interesting experiment, which
anybody may try, consists in sprinkling a

the position in which the glass is held.
For day or evening experiment nothing can
be prettier than these trials of Uranine,

Last Friday evening public installation
of the officers of Waterfowl Chapter and
Watertown Lodge, F. & A. NJ. took place
at Masonic Hall. and was witnessed by a
large number not members of the fraterni-

the Chapter and Lodge and their invited
guests participated in a pleasant party at
the Lindon House, at which happy and
joyous time prevailed, one of the means of
enjoyment being dancing. The supper
served on the occasion was a sumptuous
affair, after the besl style of 'mine host

The Silver Dollar.

A bill, it is stated will be introduced in
Congress, shortly to provide for the is
sue of silver dollars of $50 grains, the pro-
posed dollar to be impressed " 18th the same
devices as the trade dollar heretofore coin
ed, except that the word zone" shall be
substituted for the word "Trade'' aud the
figures "480'' for the figures 1920" 1t is
to be made legal tender, with certain,
restrictions, is to assume the place of all
other dollars, which are to be called in and
recoined into dollars of 4S0 grains Troy,
which will be the only authorized dollars
ia silver. 1t is most desirable that such a
bill should be passed as soon as practicable
The weight of the proposed new piece is
sufficient, its coinage and the withdrawal
of all inferior coins would remove many
small annoyances and some serious incon-
venience to trade, and place our entire
monetary system on solid, stable founda-
ton. 1t would be in appearance, also, a
great improvement over the sickly god
dess and frowzy buzzard which ornament The
standard dollar, and, in fact, in every re.
spect would prove the most sensible piece
of financial legislation this Congress has
ever attempted.

Railroad War.

on Monday, bloodless, to be sure but YET
for the lime being highly exciting. 1, will
be remembered that the project OF build
ing the side track by the Northwestern
Railway Company to the ice houses in the
5th ward of the Washington Ice Company
met with some opposition from parties along
the route. But the track was laid and it
wass supposed that all feeling regardineit was
about allayed until lately, when it was dis
covered that four or five persons owAin
property along the track had insti tuted
suit for damages amounting to $4,000
against the Northwestern Railway Compang
and employed L. T. Fribert, of Juneau, to
prosecute. The Company feeling that the
side track was Of more interest to Others
than themselves, determined to remove the
cause of the suit, and proceeded to take up
the track last Monday morning. The Com
pany' track men had not proceeded far wit
their work, however, when large body of
men appeared On the scene and by main
force prevented the men from going on with
their labors and drove them away. The
mob, as by some they are denomi mated
then paraded the streets with the American
flag flying at their head and seemed quite
exultant in the victory they achieved These
men for the most part are those who for

not unnatural that these men, mobiles if
you pleases, should have acted in the spirit
they did. Nor is it unreasonable in the
Northwestern to undertake the measures
they did and remove what was regarded by
some as nuisance, but a very convenient
thing in the matter of providing many with

yet the :aggrieved parties who hold that
their property is lowered in value by this

demanding damages, the balance living on
the track being mostly those Tho have been
employed by the Ice Company, and have an
interest in the track remaining We hope
some compromise will be effected that viii
satisfy those asking damages aud the
track allowed to remain, in consideration Of
the large amount of money spent here each
winter by the Washington Ice Company.
Of course if obstacles ale thrown in the
way of the company they will be compelled
to seek some other point for ice harvesting
N which event Watertown would be great
loser.
