s., senator Gray Styles Aidrich of Rhode
islani--IIis Views of the Approaching
Election There.
New York World special.
WASHINGTON. March 2i.-The Worlds
vigorous appeal in behalf of the Rhode
Island Democracy has been read here to-
day by Democratic leaders with unquali-
fled appreciation and Endorsement. Ex-
pressions from representative men of the
party from every section of the country
show that the importance of the election
to be held in that state in April has not
been overstated, and that the value to the
national Democracy of triumph of the
party there would be almost incstinable.
Sen. n Gray Of Delaware said to-day:
Tine Rhode Island Democracy has the
highest incentive 10 put forth its best en-
beavers, and the national Democracy has
an equal incentive to assist i'll the work.
Tho contest, in q large measure, is a ma
tional contest. National issues are involved
and the result will be Of national conse.
qucnce. The Democracy ought to win the
fight. We have been making gains in the
east steadily for the past half-dozen years
and nothing has occurred to check the
rising tide. Tariff reform has made many
converts in New England, and the April
election will afford an admirable oppor-
tunity to show the full size of this new
vote
"Rhode Island, | may remark, should
lead in sustaining the revolt of 1890 against
the Mckinley law. Her manufacturers
would be greatly benefited by the free raw
materials which the Republicans refuse.
but which the Democrats are pledged if
inlrnsted with the power, to give them.
''rhen that state numbers among her
citizens the man who may Justly be called
the Mckinley of the east. Senator Aldrich
is as extreme in his views on the subject of
protection as William Mckinley himself
lie was the man to whom the Mckinley
bill, when it reached the Senate. was in
trusted. and lie strove hard to have all of
its extreme features retained We all know
how well he succeeded. The senator, there
fore is Jointly responsible with Mckinley
for the existence on the statute books of
the most Objectionable economic measure
Of modern times. His reelection to the
Senate is one of the issues in the local cam
pagn, and the Rhode Island people have
an Opportunity Of passing directly upon
his tariff record.
My reading of the recent party conflicts
in that state teaches me that the Democ-
racy has hecn right upon all the local is
sues. II has advocated all the measures
brought forward for the betterment of the
people, and is largely entitled to the credit
of the improved condition of the general
affairs of the state This, aside from the
great Importance of the national issues in
volvcd, ought to count heavily in the
l)emocracy's favor in April, and feel that
it will. My hearticst sympathies are with
my party friends there in their efforts to
permanently throw of the Republican
yoke"

a recent number of Gdrici, and Forest

of tree is a question which has lately
been settled in the London courts, as re-
ported in a recent issue of the Gardeners
Chronicle. 1t appears that rcsidentin the
suburbs Of London had in his garden two
poplar trees, which protected him from
the smoke and noise OF trains passing over
the rails Of the London n Northwestern
Railway Company, whose location his
land joined. The trees, for some reason
or other, interferred with the traffic Of the
railroad, the owner was willing to shorten
the branches, but objected to cutting down
the trees. And then, negotiations for their
removal having failed, the company sent
its own men aud cut them down They
Offered to pay $3.50 for this high-handed
act, and later increased the amount to
5000. The court placed the value of the
trees at 1900, and awarded additional
damages of 81 900 for the injury caused
by their removal. An occasional decision
Of this character in this country would

The Marine JoWiWdi of last week gives the
following origin of the term Al It Il the
common, everyday expression Of the Eng
disappearing race for denoting superlatiye
excellence. Its origin and true meaning
are to be found iii the annals Of Liopts
register. About 1868 there was a coffee
house in London kept by Edward Lloyd,
under whose management it became q re-
sort for persons connected with ships. For
the better information of all who
congregated at this house, Lloyd, in ZIG,
began the publication of n weekly ship
ping paper known as LloWS List, in which
was contained information so useful that
il led to an organization composed of all
those who were Fecuniarily Interested in
marine affairs. In LioydS List, as at first
published, the vessels were assigned to
classes designated by the letters \, Il, !,
q, VI which referred to the vessels hulls,
while the letters g, NJ. Il, meaning good,
middlngn and "bad. - related To tie YES
sells equipment. Thus the class AG de-
notes 4 first class ship with good outfit,
while ! i was the designation given 10 a
ship of the lowest class with bad outfit.
IN the register printed in 117G II is observed
that the numerals i. ,, 3, 4, were adopted
for the first time in describing the condi-
ton OF the vessels equipment, the Roman
capitals a, T., l. O, Z, remaining un-
changed as representative Of the classified
ti0n Of the hull. This Is the earliest record
eXtant of the familiar term Al.

MR.. ADDICKS CoNTRADICTEO.



Mr.. Heffernan Denies the Truth of His
Statements Made 20 an "Every Even
ing' Reporter in This City.
posion Traveller, March 10Th.
At the annual meeting Of the Day
State Gas Company, held in Whining.
ton, Del, few days ago, Mr.. j. Edward
Addicks is quoted as saying that Ed
ward Heffernan of Lynn, who has been
calling on shareholders by public adyer-
tisement TO send their proxies TO Henry
+. llurlbut of Lynn, owns just 10 shares
OF stock and no more" "No," con-
cladcd Mr.. Addicks, "there is no disa-
greement whatever within the Bay State
Gas Company"
WHAT MIR. nEFFERNAN SAYS.
Mr.. Heffernan said to 1rGoeiler re.
porter in reply to this:
"lnstead of 10 shares of stock, own
40 shares and two income bonds. In
addition to this, Mr.. Addicks will not
deny that /, at one time, owned $40 500
in securities of the concern. have got
rid of all but 40 shares of stock and two
income bonds, and will sell them just as
soon as there is market for them.
The fact that formerly owned so much
and have unloaded nearly all of it,
should show Mr.. Addicks pretty con-
clusively that have lost all confidence
in the affair.
81 paid Mr.. Addicks himself in one
lump, in his office in Philadelphia, $A5,.
0lO, and at that time | already owned
$4,000 worth of securities
THE DIVISION OF PROFITS.
Mr.. Addicks' statement that there
is no disagreement whatever in the Bay
State Gas Company is not borne out by
the facts. Mr. Iletfernan and number
OF others are by no means suited with
the interior workings of the corporation.
MIR. Heifernan was u member of the
famous Boston gas syndicate, and now
holds his trust certificate for S22 800,
which he has refused to surrender.
II was Mr.. Heffernan and others who
furnished the money which made
Messrs. Addicks, Dlllaway and Cunniif
millionaires.
They are now kicking because they
feel that there has been an unequal dis
tribution of the profits.
LITTLE SYNDICATE HISTORY.
When Mr.. Addicks came to Boston,
he had judgments outstanding against
him for some thousands more than his
assets would amount to. Mr.. Dillaway
was an unpretentious lawyer, not over
burdened with practice, and Mr.. Gun
MIL was a small retail liquor dealer.
None Of these men had any money to
put into the syndicate, which afterward
proved SO powerful. Messrs. Fitz and
Little contributed their business stand
ing in the community. The money was
chiefly furnished by Mr.. Helfernan and
others.
since the syndicate began its trans
actions, Messrs. Addicks, Dillaway and
Cunniif have become millionaires.
lleifernan and others who contributed
the sinewal have barely gotten their
money back. Naturally they are kick
ing. They don't understand how men
who could not have contributed any
considerable amount, should come out
millionaires, while they cannot see that
they have gained dollar in wealth.
MIR. Ilefferman proposes to discover if
there is y remedy in the courts.

of his death l0l years old, and his age is
well authenticated. He was brought to

on raised platform, and you walk up
two steps to get into it. When 1t was first
brought over from the other side it was
lined with an enormous plate-glass mirror;
undoubtedly the purchaser had not been
told that French ladies did not use this
style of bed, but it was soon discovered,
and a rose-colored satin took It's place.

Sidney Gould, who guarded the front door

When the groom appeared he seemed as

a silk hat. The bride is a stumpy woman,
black as ink, and with face that could

a hanging lamp.
The BRIDE wore lilac silk in empress

The Most Efficient of Her Kind.

Sd6oard, weekly marine publication of
New York city, refers as follows of a
steamship built by the Harlan & fIollings-
worth Company: The steamer Express
which runs between New York and Will
sons Point, and which is owned by the
New England Terminal Company. was ex-
amined on Monday night last by Mr.. J. NJ.
Ashley, vice-president of the Toledo, Ann
Harbor & North Michigan Railway Com
pany, his company being about to build
dozen floats, and two steamers of this
character for use over an ll-nlile run in
connection with their railroad. Mr.. Ashley
was very much impressed with the various
methods IN use on board the Express for
handling the cars, and he carefully
watched the methods whereby the floats
were bridged. His conclusion is that, while
the necessities Of his service will be better
met by wooden boats than iron ones,
owing to the work in the ice that they do,
yet the Express meets them in every other
respect, and her style will be followed so
far as possible, Our coastwise readers are
familiar with the big Express, which was
built few years ago by the Messrs. Har-
Ian & lIollingsworth Company of Will
mngton Del, and which boat IS probably
the most efficient of her kind now in use
along the coast Mfr. Ashley said that if he
had the Express and her floats now where
he needs them, that he could quickly raise
the blockade of II miles of cars which now
obstructs their tracks, awaiting transfer
across this ll-milc stretch of water.
