New wires are being strung for the
electric lights, preparatory to placing
the new dynamo in commission. The
new dynamo is of 1000 lights capacity,
giving an alternating current of 202O
volts. Converting boxes placed about
the village will reduce this current to
the voltage now used in the incandes-
cent lights. The dynamo room has
been rebuilt and many Improvements
made there. 1t is expected that the
current from the new dynamo will be
turned on Saturday evening.

THE FREE LIBRARY.
A Few Words About Some of the
Books in it.

Possibly brief outline of few of the
books recently placed in the library dur
ing the past year may attract addition
al attention and interest. Two volumes
of large size entitled "Medicinal
Plants" by Charles E. Millspaugh M.
D., treat upon over 1000 medicinal
plants and have $50 full page beautiful
ly colored plates. To the medical pro-
fession, druggists, students and others,
this book is of special interest, and even
the general reader will want to see it.
The library now has fine accession
of pictures in Sleeps Worlds Fair,
New York city, Buel's American Won
derlands lover 500 views) and the Art
World of Paintings at the Columbian
Exposition, by D. Appleton & Co.
These last are especially elaborate and
beautiful and when all are received it is
hoped to have them mounted on a
stand. None of the above named works
can be taken from the library except
by special permit, but you can ask the
librarian for them and pass a most
agreeable hour with them at the tables
in the library room.
Both the student and general reader
will be interested in the volume on the
never ending controversary lof "Mary,
Queen of Scots" 1t is written by
James f. Meline, an officer of the
Union army, and takes direct issue
with Froude's history of England, Civ
ing the chapter and verse of his author
ity.
No one should fail to include in their
historical reading the new book on the
life of Joan of Arc by Lord Cover.
Among the illustrations are seven etch-
ings which add to the expense of the
work. Joan was bright and brave
girl, and yet at her home was simple
minded peasant and her "voices" were
hardly more supernatural than is even
claimed at the present day. The ex-
cuse for burning her at the stake seems
very meagre even for the age IN which
she lived. The story of her life is a good
one for pupils and students to use for
compositions or essays. The close of
the volume has the names of more than
hundred authors who have written
her history, of course mostly French.

CAL Chittenden's "Unknown Hero
ine'' is an interesting war story full of
history, especially as the heroine lodged
into field adjoining highway, to
avoid meeting the unknown Sheridan

"Social Customs, Social Ethics and
Society Duties" and "Manners and So
cial Usages of Others" are all valuable
books for old or young. The first
named is by Florence Howe Hall,
daughter of Julia Ward Howe, who
was received with so much favor in this
place last winter and is written in live
ly and attractive style.

THE CANDID FRIEND.

Senator Hill was unique, solitary figure On
the Democratic side when the Bill Of Sale was
under consideration by the combine Of forty
three. He voted steadily against various clauses
and sections of the revised measure which in
voly9l reputation of Democratic principles and
pledges and he received no aid from the Prcs-
dent in his protractcd fight for party con-
sstcncy Now that the President has violated
all prcccdents in Interfering with the prcroga-
tives of The legislative branch Of the Govern
mcnt, aud endangered the passage Of the Cor
man bill and possibly blocked all tariff lcgisla
ton for the session, Senator Hill has chivalrous
" sprung 10 his defence and presumably en-
barraSsed him with assistance. The Senator
has been acting for months as the judclous
mentor of the Democratic party and warning
II against a cowardly. abjcct surrender to Trusts
and Popuists. He now assumes the functions
OF the Presidents candid friend. We doubt very
much whether his services in the latter capacity
will meet with any hcartler appreciation from
the President than his pleas for Democratic con
Senate.
The Senator, who had the courage 10 vote
against measure involving betrayal Of Demo
cratic pledges TO the country, assumes that The
President will be equally brave and consistent.
With a degree Of candor which may be de-
scribcd as fairly stark naked. he asserts that
the President cannot approve the Senate bill
