THEY CANNOT REGISTER.
Declaration of Intentions to Become
a Citizen Not Sufficient.


The question at issue with the regis
trars and others interested with regard
TO the right Of foreigner who has simply
declared his intention to become a citi-
zen of the United States, to have his name
put upon the registration list has at last
been decided by the registration commits
sion. The three judges are Of one mind in
the matter, that no man has the right to
register, or vote, unless he is a full clti
zen of the United States.
When the question was brought up a
few days ago and Capt. John r. Dillon
held that under the constitution Of 1877,
declaration of intentions to become a cit
izen was not sufficient to entitle a man to
register, the registrars decided to refer
the matter to the commission and ask its
opinion. The registrars asked the com
mission TO COnstrue section l219 OF the
code of 1882, and asked also if such appli-
cants as have declared their intentions of
becoming citizens of the United States
were entitled to register.
The commission held a meeting for the
purpose of considering the matter, and
will answer the request of the registrars
by stating that the commission is unani-
mously agreed that only electors are
entitled to register. They state also
that, under the present constitution of
the state, to be deemed an elector
a person must be an actual citizen of the
United States, and that one who has de-
clared his intention TO become a citizen,
but who has not yet been made a citizen,
is not TO be deemed an elector and is not
entitled to be registered The commits
sion, as is well known, is composed Of
Judges Ealligant, MacDOnell and Ferrill.
Several persons who have simply de-
clared their intentions Of becoming citi-
zens, have already been registered, but
when the question arose others were re-
fused Now that the matter has been de-
cided, the names of such person will, of
course, be removed from the list, and no.
others who have not become actual citi-
zens win be registered The matter
might, of course, be carried before the
superior court, but that would seem use
less, as no law has been produced so far
to snow that the constitution is to be con
strued any other waV

CARRIED OFF TIE MACHINE.
John Williams Way of Getting Even
With "Nickle-in-the-Slo

John Williams Way of Getting Even
With a ''Nickle-in-the-Slot
John Williams, a well-known character
among the colored longshoremen, earned
more notoriety yesterday by boldly carry
ing of nickel-in-the-slot machine from a
saloon on Bryan street.
Williams went into w. B. Browns bar
on Barnard street, between Barnard and
jefferson streets, and attempted to work
the Slot machine. He dropped his
nickle in, but nothing came out.
This excited his virtuous indignation and
catching hold of the machine he ierked it
from its fastenlngs. He eXerted unneces-
sary strength, however, with the result
that the machine struck him in the head,
making a cash. Williams started down
the street pursued by the proprietor of
the place. Williams declared his inten-
ton of taking the machine to a LAWYERS
Office, and having Brown indicted. The
latter offered Williams S. to give him back
the machine
This Williams refused, declaring that
nothing less than $1,000 would assuage
his wrath and soothe his wounded feel
lngs- He succeeded in carrying the
machine to the Office of Saussy " Saussy
He was advised there, however, that his
summary proceedings were not good in
law and that he had better return the
machine to the proprietor, which he did,
each party agreeing not TO prosecute the
the other

The Mutual Benefit.

One of the recognized strong insurance
companies of the country is the Mutual
Benefit Life of Newark, N. j., organized
in lS45. Its record has been remark
able, both for the fairness with which
it has dealt with policy holders
and the very large dividends
returned to those insured. The COM
pany does not issue tontine or other com
plicated and speculative policies, which
are calculated to mislead the unwary
into contracts which seem to their ad-
vantage, but which are in fact poor bar
gains when the advantages are certain
for the company, and very doubtful and
remote for the insured The Mutual's
policies are non-forfeita Dle-bear annual
dividends, and have every feature of
safety and protection known to the in
surance world. The various conditions,
options, etc, of all the policies issued by
this company are expressed in definite
form and there are no estimates to con-
fuse and disappoinMthe policy holder.
The company f& placed the special
agency in the hands of an able and ex-
perienced insurance man, Mr.. A. L.
Shellman, of this city. Mr.. Shellman has
hosts of friends not only in the city but
throughout the state, and the business
OF the company cannot fail to increase
under his care and direction
