The manufacturers who own the dam near
East Lee, Mass, should have difficulty in es-
Gaping legal responsibility for the disaster
which has cost the lives of nine persons.
Within the last few weeks they had been
warned several times that the structure was
weak, but so far as can be learned they did
nothing to strengthen it, and yesterday it gave
way with fatal results. If these alleged facts
are true, there ought to be no trouble to make
out case of criminal negligence against the
QaU owners.

1t does not seem to be true that the people
opposed to the annument of the Broadway
Railroads franchise are content to contest the
issue in the courts. They fought it bitterly and
abusively in the Assembly yesterday when the
bills relating to the subject were taken up.
The main argument against the annulment bill
was the assertion that there i, no legal evidence
of bribery. There is plenty of moral evidence
of that crime. however, and it is moral evidence
almost exclusively which influences men in the
affairs of life. Upon 1t most remedial legisa-
ton rests for justification. The moral evidence
men prevailed yesterday and the debate will be
resumed to-day.

The Republicans in the Assembly kept the
party's faith with the people yesterday by vot-
ing to submit prohibition amendment to the
voters of the State this fall. All the prominent
Republican members favored and spoke for the
bill, and were opposed by the Democrats. 1t
was ordered to a third reading, however, by
vote of 81 to Sc. OF the affirmative voters GO
were Republicans and one Democrat The
temperance people of the State have thus had
one more opportunity to judge which of the
two great political parties is the more friendly

believe the times are ripe for prohibition but
it is willing to leave the issue to the people.

The latest phase of the strike on the Third
ave- street railroad Is the submission OF
proposition of settlement TO the company on
che part of the Empire Protective Association.
They now withdraw their demand for the dis
charge of certain Objectionable employees, but
insist that all the men who went on strike last
week, except those shown to have been guilty
of attacking or destroying the companys prop
erty, shall be re-employed. the day after the
strike began the company advertised for con-
ductors and drivers and saId : Competent men
will be assured of steady work and will not be
displaced by the former employees of this COM
pany now on strike" In view of this pledge to
the new men engaged it is difficult to see how
the proposition submitted last night can be ac-
cepted by the company.

In Marrying a Poor Man.

An advantage over poor girl that the rich
one has in marrying poor man Is that a
woman of the world, who has seen much OF
society, rarely suffers from that morbid self
consciousness which is the most frequent form
of snobbishncss to be found among small
gentlefolkS, and which makes them ever prone
to take offensc and to think that every little
action of their neighbors is the result of de-
liberate intention. Half the "slights' and
"insults" of which such people complain are
quite unintentional, and are caused 10y that
forgetfulness which is the natural outcome of
the hurried existence of those busy bees of
fashion or of hard work, who are the most
usual offenders.
The adaptability of woman IS truly won-
derful, and tho poor mans wife will, if she
has even moderate intelligence, in short
time emerge from the anxious, over-careful
period of her early married life; and, having
discovered the scale at which her new income
will permit her to live, she will find that her
previous knowledge Of how things ought. to
be done will enable her to become that most
excellent typo Of q housewife, one who can
combine elegance with economy.
We do not mean to assert that every rich
girl is fitted to be poor mans wife, or that
every poor girl is unsuitable In every posi-
ton there are women unlikely to be good
wives to anybody, and Others who could
hardly fail to do their duty in any state Of
life to which they may be called But, TAX
ing girls of average goodness and intelligence,
it will be found that the rich ones are more
often happy and contented i'll small houses
than those who have never lived in anything

Held OH Too Long.

Two years ago oil was struck at the Mar
shall farm, in Vcnango county. The farm
contained 80 acres, and before the oil was
found would have been considered Sooa sale
at $40 all acre The wells drilled OH the farm
were big "g1,shels', and opened upa new OIL
territory. A month after the first well was
struck the farm was sold for sa50,0OO. The
BARLEY farm adjoining also proved to be all
oil farm. and was sold for $4,000 The
school district of the township owned an acre
of ground which, with rcd schoolhouse,
was worth $500 The schoolhouse property
was surrounded blythe big wells, and all in
dications were that the acre was the center
of q rich oil pool.
\ prominent oil operator offered the school
directors So, ,O00 for the acre. The offer was re-
fused. They held out for 800, ,O02. The would
be purchaser raised his offer to SI5.OOO. This
was the highest price ever offered for al acre
OF land anywhere in the country. If it had
been accepted this rural district would have
been the richest country schoolhouse district
in the Union. 1t was refused. Wells were
put down all around the acre. In tho course
of time the school directors concluded to tap
the rich veins Of oil that were supposed to llo
u,ltlcr the red schoolllouse and its lot. At an
eyppnse of several thousand dollars they
have put down wells, and the tract is found
to he us dry as bone. The schoolhousc prop

Beating q Hotel Keeper.

A friend of mine the other day came to
settle for his nights lodging at bedbuggy
little hole in the wall near the railway station
here in Neuchatel called the Hotel des Alps
In addition to tho charge for apartment, SER
vice, lights, ETC., was the item, "Un dejeu-
ner." / will put into plain English thas
which followed: -,
"But didn't order any breakfast" j.
THAT was no fault of the house, mon
sieur"
"Do YOU mean to tell me that you wish to
charge ne for breakfast neither ordered nor
atep
"rhe breakfast was prepared all the same,
monsieur"
"You pretend that you provide regular
table d'hote breakfast every morning and
charge for it whether your guests take 1t or
notg' =.
ayes, monsieur See the menul Here it
is," and the firm, yet polite, landlord pro-
duced his regular "a la carte" My friend
turned it upside down. Then be. carefully
pcrused 1t. Then he said:
aHow much Of this do you servo as your

to pay for breakfast, please God I will eat
it. Bring Inc Iillet Of beef with musli-
rooms, half chicken grille, rum olnelet
and pint of Chnblis. shall wait over until

Mine host OF the Hotel des Alps looked first
stupcticd and then disguised, and, finally
erasping the situation, he ran into his Office,
altered his bill in conformity with the facts,
and hurrying back, cried: @Here, monsieur,
here is your bill quite correct-six francs
