THE STORAGE BATTERY.
It's Coming Utility Not In the Least
Doubted by Electricians.


The storage battery is another "young
hopeful of which the public entertains
great expectations. Its growth has been
somewhat slow and disappointing, but
this is partly due to the atmosphere Of 1e-
gal uncertainty by which it has been sur
rounded, and there is good reason 90 be-
lieve that before many years the storage
battery Will be a practical success for
many kinds of work. For street car serv-
ice its advantages over the trolley system,
provided it can be made equally practical
and economical, are generally recognized.
For long distance railways it has several
attractive features as compared with the
trolley system. It would enable electric
trains TO be run on any existing track
without the construction of line work. It
would save the cost of step up" trans
formers at each station, primary line work,
''step down. transformers. 1t would ena-
BILE the generating capacity of each station
to be reduced to just enough, when worked
continuously. to charge the batteries dur
ing the intervals between trains, while
with the trolley system each station must
be large enough to operate the train or
trains that may be on its section at any
one time, although idle during the re-
mainder of the day.
The natural conclusion from this com
parison is that the trolley system viii fine
its most favorable application on roads
with heavy traffic, where the stations can
be placed at moderate intervals and given
steady work, while for lines with less fire.
quent trains the storage battery offers the
most hopeful and, in fact, the only eco
nomical solution.
When the storage battery can be made
at half the present price, with twice its
present life and capacity per pound of bat
terry and with safe and fairly efficient
discharge rate twice as high as the present
limit, conditions by no means hopeless, it
will become a very formidable rival of the
trolley.-Engine Magazine.

Robbed by Tramps.

Saturday evening last, as the freight
train, due here at $50 P. NJ. from the
south, was leaving Watertown, gang
of tramps concealed in a box car, seized
Eugene Killian, resident of Water
town. pulled him into the car, and
robbed him of what money he had, a
dollar and eighty-fve cents, and his
Overcoat. Mr.. Kllliau was unable to
make his escape until the train reached
Clyman when he jumped out of the
car and at once telegraphed to Juneau
to have the tramps arrested. City Mar
shall Warner and Constable Roeseler
searched the train to no avail. The con-
ductOr, however, informed them that
tour tramps had got off the train about
half-mile south of the station. The
officers started down the track and
soon met and arrested them. The next
day the Overcoat was found hidden in
Bikes marsh. On Tuesday Mr. Kill

before Justice End, who bound them

How Charity Girls Are Given in Marriage

How Charity Girls Are Given in Marriage
to Deserving Italian Peasants.
At the far end of Naples lies the lit
tie church of Santa Maria Annunziata,
which, once year, on the day of Our
Lady, wakes up into brief life and
excitement. In a silent row before a
high altar kneel thirty girls, all in
black garments, with folded hands,
and eyes fixed on the picture of the
Madonna before them.
These are orphans from the neigh
boring founding asylum, says the Chi
cagO Inter Ocean, and once a year
those who have reached the age of
eighteen are brought here to the church
and may be chosen in marriage by any
honest man whose papers are in order
and whose character is good. At the
door leading to the sacristy leans a
gray-haired priest, the head of the asy-
lum. By and by a young man makes
his way from the back of the church and
hands him a packet of papers These
the priest reads carefully, and, being
satisfied, he gives them back and leads
the candidate toward the row Of girls.
Their eyes are fixed more steadfastly
than ever on the altar. their hands are
clasped tighter together, their faces
turn shade paler, their hearts beat
quicker as the young man walks slowly
along the row. At last he stops his
choice is made. He stretches out his
hand with a little smile.
The girl rises, casts long look, half
thanks, half entreaty, at the picture
Of the Madonna, puts her hand into
that of the stranger, and together they
disappear into the sacristy. The ice
being thus broken, other suitors come
forward.

A Venerable Watertownian.

Colonel j. A. Watrous in The Mil
waukee Telegraph gives the following
gossip of interest concerning one of
our venerable residents:
The father of eX- Senator Frederick
Kusei, Of Watertown, at the age Of "a
years, is still living and in the posses
sion of good health, enjoying his paper
and library as much as ever, and is
frequently seen on the streets. Mr.
Kusel was with Carl Schurz and other
liberty loving Germans IN the troubles
OF 1913, and came to America the next
year. | was talking with Captain Ku-
sci, who was the senator from that dis
trlct twelve or fourteen years ago. He
told me that as soon as his father
stepped upon American soil he bow ed
down and kissed the ground, and as his
eyes filled with tears he said, Thank
God, [ am at last in land of liberty"
From that day to this Daniel Kusel has
been as stauuch an American citizen as
there is in the state. He first settled,
but for only short time, in Milwaukee;
reaching WatertOWn IN 1849, and hav-
ing a few thousands ofdollars. engaged
at once in the tin and hardware trade,
which, business be continued until it
was transferred to his sons, who now
have one Of the largest establishments
of the kind in the state, giving employ
ment and good wages to twenty five
men. Captain Kusel served in the
Twentieth Wisconsin, commanded
portion of the time by Colonel Henry
A. Starr, of this city, and in which Cap
tain j. p. Rumble, of the firm of Run
die, Spence u Co, who is now COM
mander of Wolcott post, also served.
When the war broke out Mr. Kusel
was south, but FASTENED back and with
in short time raised a company for
the Twentieth, making a splendid
record during his three years of service.
