ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND WATER
WORKS

The following petition, which ex-
plains itself, is being circulated in
Brookhaven to-day and largely signed:
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of Aldermen: We, the undersigned
property holders and tax payers OF the
city of Brookhaven. petition your hon
orable body to proceed Mt once to as
certain the cost of erecting and sup
plying the city with water works and
electric lights, and inform the resi-
dents of the city of said cost as soon as
possible, that they may petition your
body for same IL same is satisfactory.
The LEADER is glad to see the inau-
guration of such movement as this,
and earnestly hopes the inquiry our
city fathers are solicited to make will
prove such as to warrant the estab-
lishment of both electric lights and
water works. 1t is high time Brook
haven were taking this progressive
step. Indeed, the subject of an ample
supply of pure water for the city is
matter that cannot much longer be de-
layed.

important points, first, what follows

the same papers columns which were
originally drafted in Maine or Michigan.

Henry Wizards Famous Excursion.

A Northwestern Congressman who
was on the famous excursion which
Henry Willard gave to witness the driv-
ing of the golden spike of the Northern
Pacific road, recalled some of it's interest
ing features recently:
1T was the greatest junketing trip in
the history of the United States, bar
none, - said he. willard had completed
the road, putting an enormous amount
of money in it, and he decided that he
could interest English and German CAPT
tai in the enterprise by taking the capital
lists themselves out over the road. So he
made up his party, including large
number of distinguished Americans
General Grant among them, remember
and four trains of Pullman cars, each
train hauled by two locomotives, started
for the Northwest. You never saw such
entertainment as was lavished on the
party. Champagne flowed like water, and
no one was allowed to pay for anything
not even for shave or a newspaper, The
trip altogether must have cost at least
$500, 000, for there were 400 persons in
the party and $1,000 per head is low es-
innate.
''Well, the tragic part of it was yet to
come. The sword of Damocles was hang
ing over Wizards head all the time and
he did not know it. He had invited the
English and German capitalists to go out
over the road. They had never seen any
thing except railroads between cities
closely situated, and they could not appre
ciate transcontinental lines. They could
not understand how q road could pay
that ran through long stretches of unset
tied country and while they were dining
off Wizards terrapin and champaign e
they were wiring back to New York and
London to sell the Northern Pacific stock
The stock, which was worth rs or there
abouts when he left the East, kept drop
ping until it was down to 80. Willard
could not account for the decline Final
ly he was te1egraphed to hasten to New
York to bolster up his property. Hiring
q special engine he hurried East as fast
as steam could carry him, leaving his
guests to follow behind him, which they
did, but marking every mile of the way
with a drunken orgy. Champagne bot
ties were flung around the cars and out
of the windows and costly cigars were
trampled under foot just for the fun of
crunching them.
''The sequel of that famous trip always
reminded me of Napoleon's trip to and
from Moscow. He went out in glory and
hurried home on a sled to save his head
and crown, while his army followed in
rout behind him. Willard, travelling on
special engine to save himself from ruin,
was history repeating itself. "-Washing-

Thousands of women have found a sure,

uncertain words of its almost miraculous
action.
This remedy is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scr1ptlon. 1t acts directly upon the organs
that make wifehood and motherhood pos

stops weakening drains, allays Inflammation
and soothes pain. The nerves, no longer
tortured, resume their natural function of
directing the healthy action of all the organs
OF the body. Under its benign influence the
weak, sickly, nervous, fretft1l invalid, be-
comes a robust, capable, helpful, amiable
wife, fitted for the duties of motherhood.
