 The citizens ticket chosen Monday night does not meet with favor. One of the nominees Arnold for burgess, has declined and Henry Somers has been invited to take his place. Mir. Coe has been per- suaded to hold firm treasurer. While there are men proposed for the freemens votes on the citi- zens' ballot who able and prudent there is un- occasionally demaudfor young and enterprisng officers who alive to every advance that shall make the borough a model and in viting to all who like the improve rnents cities enjoy. MT Geo. S. Arnold is the rep resentative of a class who are taxpayers, though not gray haired nor heavy with years who con seryatiye but at the same time ambitious for the best interests of the borough, and who are compe tent to adminstrate public matters as they have been successful in private ventures His competi- tor, Patrick McManus, is fully equal to the duties orthe office of warden, but has been associated several years with the municipal government and has already filled the chair of warden for a few months As he has had one of the borough emoluments for many years the street service and also the garbage con tract it occurs few that he might remain satis fled with his esent revenue from the borough and retire candidate for the highest office, in favor of one who cares for the honor, not the profits Of the position The outlook at present is quite favor able to Arnold if he receives the nomination from the Republicans at their caucus tonight which he probably will, and it is predicted his candidacy will be pushed with energy and to win.

FRANK MORSE REARRKsTED.

Frank Morse of WaIIingford, Already
 Under ssonds For Arson, is Rear
 rested on Another Serious Charge.
 Frank H. Morse, son of Emory Morse of Wallingford, was yesterday taken to the lat ter place by Constable Austin after having been rearrested by him in Trenton, N. J., on the charge of burning the building of the Simpson, Hall, Miller & Go. in May, 1883, used by Morse & Gardiner as glass cutting shop. He is also charged with burning the same building with intent to defraud the in surance companies. Morse was once before arrested for this charge, and when the hear ing was held Prosecutor Wallace nolled the case He now declines to make any state ment whatever in connection with his last arrest It created universal surprise because it was generally believed that nothing fur ther was being done or would be done until October. It is reported that in the light of recent developments it was not deemed ad- visabIe that the statute of limitations would intervene as it would in few days and pre- vent Morse's prosecution. The prosecuting officers say there is ample testimony in their hands.
 Morse was brought before Justice Bar tholomew during the morning, and as Hon. William c. Case, counsel for Morse, was not ready to go on with the case, he asked for 3 postponement for four weeks, which was granted, and Morse was put under $3, 900 bonds, which were furnished by his father. It WAS in this building, after the fire, that the dead body of W. W. Jackson, an aged man. was found, and it was Iumored that Morse may be charged with murder.

To Farther Facilitate Telephoning.


 Mir. N. A. Tanner, of this city, has invent ed a valuable attachment for telephones and his patent solicitor, Julius Twiss, S9 Church street, received official notice last week that MT. Tanners application for letters patent upon the same had been allowed. The in vention has been thoroughly tested by tele- phone experts and they pronounce it superior to anything of the kind yet introduced. The device is constructed on purely scientific and acoustic principles, and conveys the sound waves directly upon the center of the tele- phone diaphragm, thus producing the great est possible economy of voice. One of the greatest advantages of this instrument is that it prevents any rattling of the transmitter while in use, result accomplished by n6 other invention in the market, and one of much importance. One of these attachments is in use in this office, and works well.

Ocean Travel at It's Height-The Attraction
and Cost of Doing Europe.

Ocean Travel at It's Height-The Attractions
and Cost of Doing Europe.
New York Evening Post.
At the Offices of the different European steam
ship companies the common report is that busi
ness never was better than at the present mo-
ment. There are more applications for passage
than were expected, and the agents of the com
panies are besieged with offers of double
the usual price for good staterooms To-day's
steamers take out more than q thousand
passengers The personally conducted
enterprises also appeared to have psospered
with this years popular fancy for strange scenes,
and two of these parties leave to-day The in
ducements offered this year to tourists who wish
to do Europe by contract are extraordinary
enough for the money to merit brief mention.
Thus one of these parties of fifty persons which
starts to day will, according to the prospectus,
travel Nrst-class on steamship and railways, will
put up at the best hotels, will spend from the
18th OF July until the Goth in visiting
the sights of England including Liverpool
and London will 60 to some place Of amusement
every evening, and will be returned to New
York on or about the 30th of July, the entire
cost for each person to be $3.50 Another Of
these expeditions which will leave for a thirty
four days trip next week, will stay four
days in London, then to Antwerp, Brus-
sells, Cologne, Coblentz, to Mayepce by way of
the Rhine, Heidelberg. Baden, Strasburg, four
days in Paris. and back to New York
by way of England, for a total sum of 1926. The
itineraries Of these and other trips of the kind
are elaborate and ingenious. Every hour is ac-
counted for and put to the best advantage from
a certain standpoint. These travellers live in the
Midland Grand Hotel, in London, and the Grand
Hotel, in Paris; they go by Pullman
parlorcars where such things are known,
and they are spared all the trouble
and expense of looking after carriages
and baggage by special pofters attending to their
wants. Lastly they are sure of being on time;
if they delayed it is not at their expense.
That no minutes are wasted>may be seen from
the printed programmes For instance. the pill
grims land from the train in Strassburg at 1l20;
at noon they are expected to stand in wonder
over the famous clock when the first bell sounds
and the cock crows.
The variety of trips and their cost Is endless,
the average expense being from S. to 81 day,
according to the amount of travelling involved.

Mormon Wives.


One Of our neighbors, wealthy and ifuential
representative of Mormonsm, is gentleman
who always has an eye to business, even in his
love affairs. 1t was his custom for years to hire
an attractive servant girl, keep her until her
wages amounted to $50 or $40, and
then make her an offer of his hand
and heart i'll lieu of cash payment If she
accepted she remained in the kitchen doing the
work of the family, without wages, until her
children became troublesome, when she was
turned out to make room for fresh importa-
ton. have seen one of the wives of this man,
one of the women who are "highly honored and
tenderly cared for" out in the field on a bitter
November day husking corn on shares to earn
little food for her children.
Some years ago / hired the second wife of a
farmer near by to assist me in household duties
She was very capable woman, an excellent
housekeeper, and could have commanded good
salary anywhere in that capacity. She used to
go home at night, after finishing her days work,
walk to town, distance Of four miles, to do
various errands for her husban,,, then get up in
the morning and feed and water his cattle and
horses before coming over to get the breakfast
for our family The husband always collected
her wages and he soon told me must pay him
more than had done for her services.
