THE Islanders comment upon the
Populist nomination for county attor-
new two weeks ago was not intended
os reflection upon the legal attain
ments of the candidate, for as a matter
of fact In the absence Of any such at
sainments there could be no such re-
aect.on. We do not understand that
Mr.. Paxson pretends to know any
more about law, in professional sense,
than q HOttentot knows about Latin
Fe does not himself claim. nor does
eny one claim for him, so far as we
know, that he as qualified for the posi-
tion. He is nothing more nor less than
dummy candidate put up to GILL
out" the ticket, without the remotest
expectation that he can be elected, and
he fills it out about as wind fills out a
football. The nomination is simply
ridiculous, not because of any lack OF
Integrity, or other Deficiencies that We
know of in the personal character of
the candidate, but simply because he
knows no law and has no qualifications
20 fit him for such position. If elected
it would be necessary for him to APP
point deputy to attend to the duties
of the office, and he himself cannot
afford to be responsible for the official
acts of any one appointed to such a
position under such circumstances.
But of course there is no probability
that he will be entrusted with any
ouch responsibility.
Mr.. King is known already to many
people in the county as a careful and
conscientious lawyer and an honest
MAN. He has been tried i'm o number
OF important cases, including the
Straub trial, and has acquitted himself
most creditably. He has we'll earned
the respect of his fellow citizens. Com
ing here as a stranger and with little
means he soon proved himself ready

whatever he could find to do that was
honest and honorable. Quiet and re-

his career in this county has been such
as to commend him to the most favor

THE best recommendation which the
men upon the Republican ticket who
are candidates for reelection can pos
sibly have is the admirable manner in
which they have conducted the affairs
of their respective offices during the
past two years. They have made
records for economy and efficiency
which justly entitle every one of them
to reelection.

he started for that place Later Jones
said he told lie, ss the watch was at

he had sold the watch to william Smith

FRANKLIN SOCIETY.
An Interesting Paper Read by Mr..
w. II. G. Temple.
His Topic "SOme Things About Water
From Engineering Standpoint"

At the reg ular meeting OF the Franklin
Society last evening, MIR. w. Al. q. lem
pie, civil engineer OF this city, read
paper, with the subject, "Some Things
about Water From an Engineering Stand
point"
Mr.. Temple said in substance, that
water, owing to It's aggressive nature, is
more brought to our direct attention
than any other element OF nature-from
sampling the contents OF the "old oaken
bucket, ITO the use OF the waters of Niagara
In driving the 200, 700 horsepower dyna-
mos, a direct and special effort IL re-
quired. Water, under certain conditions,
has a tireless and almost resistless power
After centuries of STUDY and investiga-
ton OF it's governing laws, IL seems
remarkable that they should be so little
understood by the general mind. II is,
however, known that some OF the obscure
principles governing the flow Of water
were very early known, ana Roman citi-
zens by changing the shape OF their pipe
connection while maintaining the legal
size OF the opening were aole TO get
little the best Of the water company.
%enturi, an Itslian, in 1896, first demon
strated the principle involved IN the con-
struction of a meter for gauging water
in large quantities-this improved meter
is now made in this city.
Scientists from the earliest days have
increasingly conducted hydraulic expert
ments to determine accurate laws for all
conditions of it's use.
With cubic foot OF water weighing
62l2 pounds we can by putting 1t into a
pan ten feet square, or into tube one
half inch square, get a downward pres
sure ranging from .043 OF pound in the
first case to 250 pounds in the second
case, to the square inch.
The pressure OF watsr is alone depen-
dent upon the height OF the column
above the dial Of the gauge; also dam
to retain 100 feet In depth of wkter in a
pond OF one acre must be as large as to
restrain the confined waters of all the
lakes of our country.
Water has been found to be faithful
servant. but also an unrelenting and ter
rible enemy IL not properly restrained,
hence the engineer must 60 even 100 feet
below river bed TO reach bed rock for
his dam, well knowing that a single
thread of water finding It's way through a
soft material is liable eventually to wreck
bis whole structure.
Much interesting information was
given about the new Croton dam, which
In It's height overtops the spire OF our
First Baptist Church. The pressure on
the face OF this dam was graphically led
up to by an illustration which called for
the combined weight of COCO locomotives
OF 20 tons each.

AN INFORMAL MEETING.
Baseball Company Stockholders Discuss
New Grounds.

Stock holders In the Providen ce Base
ball Company met IN the Nsrrag aEsett
Hotel last evening to discuss matters of
much Importance. President Draper was
prevented from being present by sick
ness, and as the requisite representation
OF stock was not In evidence the meeting
had TO be informal Vice President Battey
and treasurer Johnson were present.
The stockholders desire to increase their
capital stock in order to secure desirable
and permanent playing grounds. Such
grounds can bo secured on Gladstone
avenue, but the tract OF land is extensive
and more than IS required for baseball
uses. The plan suggested last evening
en-: braced the formation OF q land COM
pany to purchase the property 10 be
used for ball playing purposes and for
house lots, the baseball company to be-
come lessees for 10 years.
IL was estimated that about $1,000
would be required TO put tho grounds Ia
tirst-class shape for baseball purposes,
and In the In formal discussion the project
was iavorAbly considered. Another
meeting will be calico when President

Princeton is doing we'll, but Is not con-
tent to rest until she has, by diligent prac-
tioe, brought her boys somewhat nearer "a
state of perfection Jack McMasters,
Princetons s veteran trainer, has invented a
contrivance which is OF great value for in
dividual practice work. He calls it the
"tackling machine"
1t is dummy that runs by pulleys
along taut rope. The arrangement Is
very simple. Two strong polos about 6
inches in diameter, are driven in the
ground about 25 feet apart. Between tho
poles and near the top is stretched strong
rope, drawn taut The poles are further
supported by ropes tied TO pegs driven in
the ground to the left and right A pull
ley runs along the rope stretched between
the two poles, from which Is suspended an
other pulley, and two more pulleys are fas-
tened near the top Of each pole.
The dummy, which is stuffed with saw
dust and is very solid, is fastened with a
rope which runs through the suspended
pulley and is fastened at the other end to
heavy sand bag. Just now the tackling
machine is not used much; the boys do all
their tackling in the practice games But
earlier in their training days 1t was the
custom Of McMasters to line his pupils up
every morning and make each man take
his turn at tackling the dummy. How
ever, the machine is given plenty of exer-
else, for there are always aspirants for
football honors anxious TO test all tho
tackling possibilities of the game, and the
dummy serves their purpose well.
