The fact that President Welton of the
water board was not named as mem
Der of the committee appointed to make
the arrangements necessary for securing
an additional water supply is signifi-
cant. The water commissioners, armed
with the extraordinary powers of an
ancient charter, which had outlived its
usefulness, refused to listen to the voice
Of the people, as expressed by vote of
the common council; could see no fur
Their than Hop brook with its bog water,
and delayed the needed extension of the
water system for several years. All
that is a thing of the past. The wings
of the water board have been clipped, so
to speak, and men of more progressive
ideas will accomplish the work which
President Welton has been toying with
for so long. A little credit for the turn
of affairs belongs to the DEMOCRAT.
Single handed and alone it fought the
Hop brook scheme for four years. The
result is eminently satisfactory.

Sawyer Medicine Co:
Gentlemen, having little confidence in
the extravsgant claims made for most of
the proprietary medicines of the present
day seldom give them trial, but the
pleasant personal acquaintance with your
senior, Mr.. Andrew Sawyer, extending
over twenty years, gave me assurance that
any statements made by you regarding
your medicinal preparations could be i'm
plicitly accepted as a fact. have recent,
ly been using your Dandslion Compound
for indigestion and an extremely bilious
condition of the stomach, and find the re-
suits justify all you claim for it. From
my own experience confidently recon-
mend it to my friends as an Alternative and
tonic and the assurance of many we'll
known people leads me believe it a blood
purifier and spring medicine of decided
value. Very Respectfully Yours,
G. B, CHAPMAN

Jersey building Dedicated.
The New Jersey State building; which is
almost a counterpart of General Washing
toms headquarters at Morristown, was
formally dedicated yesterday afternoon and
Gov. Werts was rendered a reception by
the Worlds Fair Commissioners and Lady
Managers of the State. The main hall
was floral bower of beauty and every
room was profusely decorated with cut
flowers and green products of the conserv-
atory.
Several hundred people, foreign and
American, including many from New Jer-
sey, enjoyed the States hospitality. In
Productions to the Governor and other Off
Gals, refreshments and music composed
the programme, and the ladies made every
body feel at home.
Among those in attendance were the
Governor and Mrs. Werts, Miss and Mary
NJ. and Hattie E. Werts, Generals Stryker,
Heppenheimer, McGill and Spencer; Colo
nels Adrian, Barrett, Kuser, Bedle, Dick
inson and Van Cleef, all of the Governors
staff; United States Senator James Smith,
jr., State Treasurer George Gray, State
Senators Terhune and Hitchcliff and Rep
resentatives Lanning and Swartout of the
Worlds Fair Legislative committee.
The Attendance for Two Days.
Superintendent Tucker Of the Depart
ment of Admissions gave out the official
statement that the attendance on the
| opening day as near as he could ascertain
was 3l5, 900. "The methods Of getting al
| the number of tickets used by deadhead.

| to aid us. I have put down the number O
| free admissions at 40, 900 leaving the
number who paid 175, 000." This regard
as a conservative estimate
The ticket sellers and takers had an easy
time of it yesterday. The paid admissions
| to the grounds were $4,000. In the parl
there were about 100, 900 people.

THE most inspiring features of the
naval parade to American patriots, was
the rehabilitated American navy. Its
great ships of war, the peers of any of
those upon the review, the superiors of
most of them, flying the star spangled
banner, all the result of the activity OF
our naval department for the past eight
years, was a gallant sight to see. 1t
demonstrated that though not yet the
equal of some European countries on
the water, we are RAPIDLY reaching that
point, and will in few years be second
to none. 1t is enough to warm the
cookies in the American heart to think
of that glorious day. Some of our re-
publican contemporaries have been TAX
ing great credit to their party for re-
facilitating the navy. We don't want
to detract an iota from the credit due tc
them. But it is a matter of such re-
cent history, that every man who has
reached his majority knows that when
Cleveland came into office eight years
ago, the little remnant of an American
navy that was left, consisted of few
unseaworthy old tubs that we would bt
ashamed to show in a parade. 1t wal

THE FoRERuNNER OF D,sAsrER.

Peculiar Growth Known As tho "DeVil
Plant In Mississippi.
There has recently appeared in this
vicinity, says a Carthage Miss cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Times,
a most peculiar growth known as the
devil plant" which is SO deadly as to
render all insect life and vegetation in
its neighborhood lifeless. It is most
innocent in appearance, being of ten
der green, clinging close to the earth,
and sprinkled with small red blossoms,
cup-shaped, and holding in their
hearts single drop of moisture. 1t is
in this singular dew, which the sun
has no power to dispel, that the
plants most blighting influence is said
to lie. Bees by the hundreds have been
found dead in the blossoms. Indeed,
the hives OF the neighborhood are
nearly depopulated by the noxious
flowers. A gentleman who is noted as
botanist in these parts tasted this
dew and declared that it was of a
slckenlng sweetness, without odor and
vlscid like liquid gum. 1t was allowed
to dwell on his tongue, which soon
began to burn hi m so as to raise q
blister, and the member swclled I'D
and became discolored and exceedingly
painful.
The bees have not been the only suf-
ferers by this growth, but every insect
approaching it seems to become par
alyzed, and after beat or two of the
wings above this creeping upas drops
dying among its cruel leaves. Cattle
which have eaten of it die in q few
hnnrS m IOn
OF exaggerated tetanus, the skin drawn
tense and the eyes protruding from
the head. All ordinary remedies foil
to restore one in these attacks. Veg
citation also seems to shun the devil
plant" and whole tracts of meadow
IRE now lying scorched and dead from
the 1nsidious approach of this unknown
growth. Under the microscope the
leaves exhibit inr"merable little
mouths or suckers, of such tenacity
as to sting the hand on which the leaf
is laid, leaving u dull, red mark like
the wound of scorpion. The people
OF the vicinity say this plant is the
forerunncr of disaster, it having made
previous appearances just before the
outbreak of the war and on each occa-
sion of the coming of yellow fever.
An effort has been made to burn it
out, but, protected by it's singular dew,
this has failed. The dead bodies of
cattle which have died of eating it on
being examined show that the digest
ave organs are swollen to four times
their natural size and look Us if they
had been burned; the heart is con-
gested, and the blood Of dark, I'M
usual tinge, with an odor like benzoin.
The plant is of rapid growth, covering
acres in few days, requiring little
hold, and going over every obstacle in
its way, the roots being of thread-lilSe
fineness and extending only an inch or
two below the surface of the ground,
but exhibiting extraordinary tenacity
once they have seized hold of a spot,
enwrapping pebbles, old roots, etc. +,
like clinging fingers.

The Islcs OF Shoals.

The Isles of Shoals, ten miles off the
New Hampshire coast, where, it can
be said without exaggeration, a hot
day is unknown, are nine in number:
Malaga, Duck, Smutty Nose, Apple
dore, Cedar in Maine, Star, Londoners,
Seaveys, and White in New Hamp-
shire. The dividing line runs through
the middle Of the harbor to the sen on
the southerly side. These islands
were included in grant of tract of
land on each side of the Piseataqua
river given jointly to Sir Ferdinando
Gorges and Capt. John Mason in 1881.
In 1855, when the joint estates on the
main land were divided, neither Mason
nor Gorges wished to surrender his ON
tire interest in these valuable islands,
and the group was divided between
them precisely upon the line, which,
with a brief Interruption, has been
maintained to the present day.

A Curions Dialect.

A Berlin magazine describes the
negro English of the west coast OF
Africa. Whoever means to do business
on the west coast of Africa must learn
this curious language, be he German
or n Briton. Luckily this is not very
difficult. The whole language com
prises only about three hundred words.
and these people despise everyone who
docs not spcnls it. The extreme sim
plicity OF the idiom is we'll illustrated
by Sho following examples: "Dcm

stcuzncr wi& u1R&sor here tonight; dom
