People OF Troy Responsible for the
Election of Bad Officials.
By The Associated Pres.


ALBANY, March Ex-Governor Flower
has sent letter to David IL. Green, chair
man of the Troy Committee of One
Hundred, who visited the Executive
Chamber yesterday. In it he says he
has endeavored to comply with the re-
quest for prompt investigation into the
political murder at the polls. He wants
the present District Attorney to assist
the Attorney General, and he concludes
his letter by saying: "Your letter con-
tains many statements, which, il true,
reveal a sad state of affairs in your city,
and for which, it true, deplorable as they
may be, you are yourselves responsible.
"Under our system of local government,
the people choose their own public Off
GERS. IL bad men are put in office the peo-
pie are responsible. Fortunately the
law furnishes ready remedies for
the removal of unworthy officers
and the appointment or election
of better ones. IL your vague insinuations
against the district attorneys Office are
susceptible OF proof, file charges and proof
with me and you will find me as earnest
in securing good administration of the
office as you can possibly be.
"With respect,1 Il remain, very truly yours,

MISCELLANEOUS.
TALKS WITH MOTHERs.-No. 3.

Every mother wants her baby to thrive,
because healthy child is happy child.
The question of how the baby shall be fed
is demanding the attention, as never before,
not only of the mothers in the land, but of
the entire medical profession also, because
it is now realized how much the health ola
child can be Influenced by proper nutrition
during the years of babyhood. AS the re-
suit of the improper feeding of the infant,
the vitality of the child is impaired, and he
grows up weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being SO generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for a sub
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims are
made Gustav MelliD, an English chemist,
.ras the first to discover and combine the
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
fetal food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding of infants commenced.
Mellins Food is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and it has done more to
make babies strong and healthy than any,
thing else that has ever been invented
Mellin's Food possesses all the requisite
heat and flesh producing and bone-fOrming
constituents necessary to give child
health, vigor and vitality. Infants are ex-
ceedingly fond of it and thrive upon it when
nothing else can be retained upon the
stomach. If they have been weak, fretful
and troublesome they become happy,
healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy
cheeks, firm muscles and strong consti-
tuition are the inevitable results of using
this excellent preparation. Mellin's Food,
being highly nutritious and easily digested,
is also perfectly adapted to the wants of in.
gal1dS and cOnValescentS.

SONG or TIE BERRY.

You that have only eaten the berry,
What do you know OF pleasure. praya
But II have climbed where the hours are airy,
The upward length of the windy way,
And IL have leaned where the long vines
sway
And swing from the hand that has come to
carry
The very soul Of all fruit away
In the ever kissed sphere of the first dewberry.
You that have only eaten the berry,
Pleasure has passed you along the way,
But found her out where she could but tarry,
Where the warmest, rarest and reddest ray
Of all the suns that shone in May
Itole to a shadowy hilltop eyrie
Was incarnated one new June day
In the scarlet heart of q late strawberry.
You that have only eaten the berry
On that highest hill, where the pines are
gray,
Is a place where pleasure has heart to parry
Pain for the length Of a long June day,
Where the tangiing vines make glad delay
Till our eyes, and our lips, and our hearts grow
merry
And troubles no more than vine to sway
Up out of the reach of a red raspberry.
ENVOY
Rou that have only eaten the berry,
Whatever of earth be yours today,
The hand of the Giyer has been but chary,
And pleasure has passed you along the way.
