A determined attempt appears to have been
made yesterday by the police to prevent viola
tions of the Excise law. The new blood at the
head of the Department is being felt. No
special orders were issued from Headquarters
but pretty definite impression had evidently
cone abroad that the law was to be enforced
At all events, liquor was more difficult to get
than usual and nearly hundred barlleeperS
suffered arrest. A good days work. 1t shows
what the police can do when the spur is applied
But Superintendent Byrnes should remember
that the people of New Ork will not be satisfied
with virtuous squirt or two.

and will thus have that essential feature of
true cathedral, the element of growth. The
project for its erection is large one. and is
deserving Of all sympathy and furtherance on the
part of rejecting men and women.

The Republicans of New jersey have the best
some victory won in Jersey City last week
But they must not indulge in OvercOnfdcnce
nor bank too heavily on the success Of
Colonel Wanser against the Hudson County
Ring. That victory was won through a union
of men of all parties who favor honor, integrity,
decency and economy in government, against
one of the worst hordes Of politicians that dis
RraceS the country. Republican success in New
jersey must come in the same way-by frank
appeal t. the better element among the voters
at large and by the most thorough organization.
As the vote of Hudson County is likely to deter
mine the vote of the state, it is easy to see
where the principal field for work lies.
In our Albany correspondence to-day the at
tention of Republicans is directed to the desra-
bility OF choosing the State Committee on new
plan This is one of the important questions
which will have TO be decided by the State
Convention next week. At present one mem
Der of the State Committee is chosen for each
Congressional District. Our Albany letter
shows, however, that by this system the repre-
sentatves of minority of the Republican voters
of the State diving in the eighteen new districts
in the southeastern corner will control the State
Committee. Such an arrangement would mani
testify lack fairness Undoubtedly the State
Convention will consider this question in the
light of the best interests of the Republican
party of the State as whole. and with view

His Mistake.

Detroit Free Press: He knocked at
the kitchen door timidly and asked for
something to eat.
"You can have it if you'll saw some
wood for me-" said the lady.
~ shall only be too happy" he re-
sponded, "but must ask that you give
me something to eat first, for am weak
from hunger"
She had her doubts about bargain OF
that kind, but took him in and set him
down before a large slice of leftover
steak.
Ho attacked it at once with knife and
fork, but after a few minutes laid down
his implements of war.
You will excuse me, hope" he said
rising.
"What's the matter?" she inquired in
surprise.
II made a slight mistake" he replied
as he wiped the perspiratlon from his
brow with his sleeve. ~ thought

strength to saw the wood, but l find

strength to eat the steak, and if you

But she didn't wait for him to con-
clude his peroration; she swooped down
on him, and as he went out the gate he
breathed sigh of thankfulness that he
had escaped 80 easily.

A Now BALLOT BOX.

The board of election commissioners
of San Francisco have awarded con-
tract for 29U ballot boxes at a cost of Sl1
each. The box is cylindrical vessel of
gavanized iron about two and a half
feet in length and nine inches in diame-
ter. AT each end a diamond-shaped
window, something less than five inches
square and supplied with heavy plate
glass, permits a full view OF the interior.
A second metallic cylinder is Incased
within the outer one, and by means
of a handle on the exterioris fre
o turn in either direction for short
istance. A long, narrow aperture run
ing the entire length OF the upper sid
the box is designed for the passage of
the blot to the inside. Immediately
after the ticket has passed through the
slot a slight turn of the outer handle
causes partial revolution of the inner
cylinder, thus closing the aperture.
The disadvantages of bolts or staples
have been removed by the pres
ence of small holes through
both cylinders, and also through one of
the end pieces. BY means of these an
improved style of paddock connects the
movable portions of the box when the
slot is open, and also when closed. Small
iron supports elevate the box slightly
from its resting place, and by means of
handle at one of the ends the entire
arrangement may be easily carried.

A Seaside Freak.

Mr.. bennett, of Cape Elizabeth, Me-,
who supplies the cottagers with milk,
eggs and garden truck, has a rig that
attracts good deal OF attention. 1t
consists OF 2-year-old bull with ring
in his nose, bearing a crooked yoke on
his neck, harnessed TO a fiat bottomed
cart, which will float in the water. The
animal is driven by Mr.. bennett like u
horse. Reins OF rope are attached to
the ring In the BULLS nose; they pass up
over the horns through rings attached
to them. With this queer team Mr..
bennett makes the trip TO the beach two
or three times week, fording the Sper-
wink river at high tide. The bull swims
the river like dog and the cart floats
like boat, and will sustain the weight
OF Mr.. bennett and his load of produce
safely. When Mr.. bennett and his
unique team are seen approaching, the
cottagers throng the banks of the river
in order to see him make the passage.

DENVER, Colo, Aug, 6.-The attorneys OF
DIR. T. Thatcher Graves, who was convicted
of poisoning Mrs. Josephine Barnaby OF
Providence, Il. l., today filed their brief in
reply to the states answer In the case Of

other things, that Judge Rising, in his in
structions to the jury, erred in telling them
to bring in verdict of guilty IL they thought
beyond reasonable doubt that the doctor
had committed the crime.
The Doctors lawyers cite many cases to
uphold their plea that the judge erred and
have covered every detail, under the convic-
tton that the supreme court will reverse
