That ballot.

The ballots are not coming in as fast
as they might. As up to the present
time only twenty-seven have been re.
ceived, it does seem as il the voters gen.
orally should take more interest than
they appear to do in such. which are
really to them, vital matters. BY their
own action, or rather want of action
they allow the so-called politicians to
run them, and then afterwards kick be
cause such il the case.

Anniversary Number.

Our acknowledgment and greeting are
due to the Scientific American, the receipt
OF whose handsome anniversary number
reminds US that our esteemed contempt
rary has completed the first hall century
OF its existence. 1t was fitting that a
paper whose range OF subjects is so ex-
tensive should devote it's semi-centennial
number to a review OF scientific and in
dustrial Developments during the past
fifty years; and Messrs. Mum 4 Co. are
to be congratulated on the discriminat-
ing judgment with which this ambitious
work has been carried out. In review
OF this kind the difficulty is so to select,
condense, and express the essential facts
OF the subject that the result shall be
reference book and readable story in one.
In the number before us the writers have
achieved this result to a marked degree;
the historical interest and the literary
style OF the article being equally good.
The illustrations appear to have been
chosen with a strict regard for their hi
storic interest, and readers will linger
over such views as those OF the American
built steamer Arctic, the fastest vessel on
the Atlantic in 1852, Morse's pendulum
instrument OF 1897, and his telegraph
receiver OF 1874, Edisons first phono-
graph, the patent Office models OF Howe's
and Wilson's sewing machines, the first
safety" bicycle, the first Mccormick
reaper, the original Franklin hand press,
cuts Of early forms of the telephone and
electric motor, and many another en-
craving OF historic interest. The subjects
which have necessarily been crowded out
OF the illustrated columns are more briefly
noted in very readable article at the
commencement OF the paper; and not the
least interesting features is the admirable
essay on the progress OF invention during
the past fifty years which won the $3.50
prize, offered by the editors, for the best
essay on the subject. The paper il
handsomely enclosed in cover which is
appropriate to the nature and scope of
it's contents. The price OF the special
issue is 10 cents, and is well worth ten
times this sum.

FORGET AND FORGIVE.
Such Is the watclhword Sent Out by Presi-
 dent Kruger

Pretoria, Jan. 12-The rank and file of the Jameson expedition who were captured by the Boers and brought to this place have started for the Natal are expected to follow shortly. The customs officials have opened a large of the leaders in the Rand, who was arrested, and found that it contained one hundred revolvers and seven thou sand rounds of cartridges. President Kruger has issued procla nation of the Rand saying he believes they have been deceived by a small number of designing men outside of the country. He urges the Rand residents to co-op- crate with the government to make the republic where all nat.onalities can live fraternally together. He promises that Johannesburg shall have a mayor and municipal council, and concludes:
 Let the inhabitants of Johannesburg make it possible for the government to appear before the volksraad with the words forget and forgive
 Kimberly, Jan. 12.-Cecil Rhodes, for merly prime minister to Cape Colony, arrived here to-day and was cordially received. In a speech expressing his thinks for his reception he said his po- ltical career was not at an end--it was beginning. He believed that encourag- ed by his friends he would live to do much good work in behalf of the coun- try.
 London, Jan. 12.-fIon. G. H. Reid, premier of New South Wales, has sent the following to Lord Salisbury:
 "The governments of Australia and Tasmania view with satisfaction the prompt and fearless measures adopted by her majesty's government. We de- sire to convey our united assurances of loyal support. The people of Aus tralia are in full sympathy with the determination of the mother country to resent foreign interference in mat ters of British and colonial control"
 London, Jan 13-The Standard says that it is in a position to state that President Kruger has made no demand for a change in the existing stipula- tions in the treaty between the South African republic and Great Britain
 The Standard also says: It is now explained from Berlin that the emper- or's message to President Kruger in stead of indicating a new departure in German policy was at the most an ex- pression of momentary irritation. which We are authorized to declare has pass ed away. leaving the relations between Germany and Great Britain as friend ly as heretofore.

HA w1EY,s MILITIA nm.
It is Indorsed by the War Department
 With some Suggestions.

With Some Suggestions.
 Washington, Dec. 12.--Senator Flaw ley's bill to arm the militia, which au- thorizes the secretary of war to furnish the National Guard of the various states with Springfield rifles of .45 cali bre in exchange for any other type of rife now in use. has been referred to the war department for an opinion as Doe. who is in charge of militia mat ters, and thoroughly experienced in them, has, after careful consideration, given the bill a strong Endorsement. He has suggested, however, that it would be of even greater benefit to tha militia if it's provisions were extend ed so as to authorize the exchange Of new Springfield rifles of .45 calibre for arms of the same make and calibre all ready in the possession of the militia, but which have become worn out and useless, as the result of continued use.
 According to the bill as it stands, 1t would have been impossible to exchange the old Springfield rifles held by the militia for new ones. as tbe exchange is confined to arms of other make. Ac- coiding to General Doe a good gun is a desderatum to militiamen, and the government should see that they are properly equipped in that respect. In view of the main purpose of the bill it is believed that it will be amended so as to meet the point raised by the military authorities.

The room was empty and the search was continued to the store room, where the suicide was found bleeding from a terrible self-inflicted gash in the throat, which had severed the juigular vein and the windpipe
 Death came almost instantly, and long before the physician, Dr. Barnett, who is medical examiner for the town of Orange, arrived. The examiner gave the cause of death as shown from the evidence at hand. and granted a certi- ficate for the burial of the body.
 Charles B. Martin was one of the best known men in the fire department, having filled by merited promotion the successive positions from call man at No ', a place accepted by him in 1874, the captaincy of No. ?. His first ap- pcintment was made permanent in 1875. His next promotion was to driver of No. [. From No. ' he went to No. as driver of the engine. Promtion came company, He was reduced from the captaincy of No. ? several months ago to the grade of hoseman and transfer red to No. s, Newhallville. Subsequent ly he was sent to No 4 as driver of the hose cart On December g, 1895, 1t was expected that MT. Martin would be re- instated to the captaincy, but his health at that time did not permit of this.
 Chief Kennedy said last evening that MT. Martin had been one of the most efficient tiremen on the force.
 He was a member of Olive Branch lodge, F. and A. M; Pulaski chapter, R. A. M; Crawford council. R. and $. M; of Harmony lodge 1. 0.

of his employees, and a courteous gen. tleman, and to use the words of an old competitor in the same branch of busi- ness, said to the writer a day or two since that he was the best hardware merchant New Haven ever had. His friends are legion as. a day of adversity proved when they tiocked to his relief with substantial aid and carried him through. landing him safe from the seeming inevitable embarrassment which threatened him.
 In his domestic affairs he was pre- eminently devoted husband, an affec- tionate father and kind neighbor,
 He never forgot his schoolboy com panions and the "reminiscences of his youth. All of those boys who have re- moved to.the remote parts of the coun- try, on visiting the home of their child hood. were always welcomed and en- joyed their call on MT, Bassett, and those of his early acQuaintances re- maining here Were dear to him, and they will always cherish his memory.
