A man who has had nearly half century of experience in newspaper life is certainly capa- ble Of judging between the valuable and the worthless. Hence we highly value the follow ing statement from MT. Erasmus A. Norris of Fitchburg, for nearly 50 years editor of Massa- chusetts and New Hampshire newspapers: "C. I. Hood S Co.,, Lowell, Mass:

 FOR A FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.
 Cannot we have another Fourth of July celebration here this year?'' is the question young America is asking. They made perfect success of it last year, and should be given fair chance this year. The duties and responsibilities that rest upon American citizens cannot be Goo often impressed upon the minds of the young, and no filter, or better oc- casion to do it, than on this glorious an- niversary. Let the citizens all take hold of 1t, and work together as unit.

KEYEs SUES MRS. FRELEIGH.
Wants ea,boo Damages for Malicious Pros- eeution-Prospeet of a Wedding Between Smith and the Freleteh Girl.

Wants ea,b00 Damages for Malicious Pros-
 eeution-Prospeet of a Wedding Between smith and the freieigh Girl.
 A new development in the case Of Lizzie Freieigh ct al. came out yester- day afternoon in suit for s2.500. which was brought by William F. Reyes, the Jersey City saloonkeeper, who was ar- rested last Monday with Joseph Smith, charged with enticing Lizzie Freleigh from her home.
 MT. Reyes sues Mrs. Ida Freleigh the mother of the attractive girl. who is the cause of the litigation. and yester- day afternoon Constable Michael R. Enscoe attached her body for 5000 at the Fremont house where she and her daughter, as we'll as Mir. Reyes, are still stopping. Mir. Enscoe. after waiting sev- eral hours for Mrs. Freleigh to get ball, which she was unable to obtain, took her to the county Jail. Mrs. Freleigh, who is a wealthy lady, was highly in- dignant. At late hour last evening she had not obtained bail.
 The writ alleges false Imprisonment and was drawn by Attorneys Blyden- burgh and McWilliams, following the dismissal of the case by the city court Wednesday morning.
 It begins to look as though Jasper Smith, the spruce New Yorker who Is now occupying cell at the county jail tra Ca ing sixteen-year-old Lizzie Freleigh from her home In Brooklyn to this city, may escape the consequences of his ter rible crime after all by marrying the girl, who in time will be an heiress. The sudden change in his situation is due to the desire on the part of the girl to marry him and thereby get him out of the serious scrape he is now in. This conclusion on her part was manifested at conference held Wednesday after neon by MT. Matthewman, the girl and her mother. After the case had been considered in all its many phases, and it had almost been decided that new complaint should be lodged against Smith, Lizzie completely upset the plans of her mother and MT. Matthewman by announcing that she was still devoted to Smith and wanted to marry him. Mrs. Freleigh at first would not listen to such thing. Afterward, when she was appraised of some facts that she had not previously known, she reluc- tantly consented to her daughters prop csition. Yesterday MT. Mathewman,M Mrs. Freleigh and Lizzie again visited the jail and conferred with Smith, and 1t Is thought that the marriage is likely to occur, in which case the prosecution against Smith will be dropped. The mother says Smith will be much the gainer by such a result, as he has no money, while the girl is heir to much property, and she indignantly denies that she pursued Smith as possible or prospective son-in-law for her hand some daughter.

PRAISE FOR STATE RANGE.

It Requires Two Things to Make its Ap-
 pointments Complete.
 The general opinion of the officers and men of the First regiment rifle team, who were at Mantle on Tuesday, is that the new state rifle range is a fine place to hold brigade rifle con- tests. The quartermaster's depart ment had charge of the arrangements and the match was we'll managed, un-
 der the direction of Major Albee. One
 great advantage of the state range is
 that 1t gives all teams an equal chance.
 If brigade shoot is held on any of the
 regimental ranges 1t is easy to see that
 the other teams are handicapped.
 Then again, if there is to be a state
 range, it is obvious that it should be on state proper.yy- At the match on Tuesday a most excellent dinner was furnished by a New London caterer, under the direction of the quartermas- ters department, at the nominal rate of fifty cents each.
 Although every one spoke in the highest praise of the range, 1t is gene rally conceded that it needs two things to make it perfect in it's appointments The first is a mantlet or barrier of
 heavy timbers and earth about ten yards in front of the firing pointl Through this barrier holes are cut cor responding to the different targets; and through these holes the marksmen can see the targets and nothing else This arrangement is almost absolutely ne cessary for safety as a stray bullet ac- cidently discharged in the general di- rection of the targets might go for a long distance beyond and do fatal inju- ry to cattle or even human life. The
 second requisite is telephone connec- tion between the butts and the firing station. There ought to be no difficult ty about this, and were the signal corps supplied with a field telephone outfit as it should be, it would be the | work of scarcely half an hour to lay the line and make the connections
