So much has been said as to the eff

wagons ms to give special value TO Profcs-
sor Sweets remark recently I'm The Rural
New Yorker-viz, that such bearings are
successful only when the balls themselves
are of the highest quality and the shells
and axles are of the best steel, hardened
and ground 10 the highest perfection. He
says that the limit of error In the best does
not vary more than one-quarter of one
thousandth of an inch or one-fourth the
thicssless of tissue paper, perfection of
this kind being very costly, especially as
the least dirt destroys the whole gain, 70:
If the balls are stopped by any impcdiment
they arc very soon ruined, and as such ac-
curate work is not likely TO be suitably
protected or properly cared for In farm
vehicles IL Is questionable whether the fail
urts would not more than overbalance the
advantages. Then, too, I'm the cost OF
drawing n load, part is friction and n
part is overcoming the ground resistance,
the latter being greater as the road poor.

ny was passed upon the recommend alton
OF the committee on corporations.
Bills for acts In amendment to chapter
257 and for an additional appropria-
tion for State expenses were indefinitely
postponed.
For the judiciary committee Mr.. Stud
Icy reported back the Senate bill repeal-
ing Chapter 1917, which provides for the
printing of State notices Ia tho news
papers, with recommendation of its pas
sage. The bill was passed.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Wilson the bill for
an act in amendment of Chapter 242, rela-
tive to offenses against private property,
which had been made the special order
for today, was continued and made the
special order for next Wednesday.
The House then adjourned.
Public Hearings.
Before the rising of the House the ju-
dietary committee gave a hearing on the
bill for an act to establish and to provide
for the use OF a standard form of fire in
surance policy introduced by Mr.. Stud
ley.
1t was advertised as a public hearing,
but Mr.. Frederic w. Arnold, president OF
the Equitable Fire and Marine Insur-
ance Company, and General William
>. Barton, president of the
Merchants Insurance Company, were the
only ones present to address the commit
tee. These two gentlemen, however, ex-
pressed the opinion held by practically all
the insurance men of the State In advo-
eating the passage OF the bills. Whist is
known as the "New York form" is the
one proposed for adoption in this
State. IL is the required form
in New York and the only
one which can be used there and in many
of the other States in which it has been
recently adopted. The benefit that
would be derived from its use in Rhode
Island is three e-fold; the opportunities
for litigation would be very materially
reduced, the subject OF fire insurance
would be greatly simplifed by the
policy holders and the companies
would be rid of large expense
now resulting from the necessity of keep
ing many different forms, all meaning
the same thing, in stock.
There is no opposition to the bill and
the committee will undoubtedly recon-
mend its passage.
The committee on judiciary OF the
Senate gave hesring on two bills in re-
lation to the election of officers in the
town OF North Providence. One provided
for the election and defined the duties Of
the highway commissioner and the other
enumerated the town officers to be
elected on the first Monday in June, an
uually.

A CONFLICTING CLAUSE.

There is now before the General Assembly
an act in amendment Of chapter 735 OF
the public statutes which is in direct
violation in part, TO the resolve recently
passed which takes the burden of regis
tration from the city clerk and places it
on the shouldere of the board
OF registration. The section in
question requires every person who is
qualified voter TO apper before the "town
clerk" and register, and it was
evidently an oversight in draw
ing up the amendment. 1t
is Understood to have passed the Senate
without being noticed.
