Another Story Of Edison's Courtship.

or course q famous inventor could
not carry on a courtship like an ordi-
nary mortal. The idea of the great
electrician Edison's marrying was first
suggested by an intimate friend, who
told him that his large house and nu-
merous servants ought to have a mis-
tress. Although a very shy man, he
seemed pleased with the proposition
and timidly inquired whom he should
marry. The friend, annoyed at his APP
parent want of sentiment, somewhat
testify replied: ANYONE" But Edi-
son was not without sentiment when
the time came. One day as he stood
behind the chair of Miss Stillwell, q
telegraph operator in his employ, he
was not little surprised when she
suddenly turned around and said: "Mr.
Edison, I can always tell when you are
behind me or near me-" 1t was now
Miss Stillwell's turn to be surprised, for,
with characteristic bluntness and ardor,
Edison fronted the young lady, and,
looking her full in the face, said: "I've
been thinking considerably about you
of late, and il you are willing to marry
me should like to marry you" The
young lady said she would consider the
matter and talk it over with her moth
err. The result was that they were
married month later, and the union
proved happy one.

The Japanese minister at Washington, in
an interview with representatives of the
press last week, replies to the criticisms
which have been made upon the conditions
attached by his government to its accep-
lance Of the proposal to arbitrate existing
differences with Hawaii. There appears in
his opinion to be an effort to produce in this
country the impression that Japan is not
willing to arbitrate, and has consequently
imposed conditions which Hawaii cannot
accept. Nothing, he asserts, can be further
from the TRUTH the Japanese government is
perfectly willing to fully and freely submit
to arbitration every point in dispute with
Hawaii which can be fairly considered q
proper subject for such method Of settle
ment.

Since She Went Home.

Since she went home
The evening shadows linger longer here
The winter days fill 80 much Of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and drear,
Since she went home
Since she went home
The robins note has touched minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but sad refrain,
And laughter sobs, with hidden, bitter pain.
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence blessed;
Untouched the pillow that her dear head pressed;
My lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubt and
fears,
And the dark night have rained in lonely tears,
Since she went home.

THE VILLAGE WATER SUPPLY.

Editor Of the Register I'm endeavoring
to determine the origin of the several
cases of typhoid fever now in this viii
lage, and in devislng means by which a
further spread of the disease may be
averted, the subject of the water supply
for drinking purposes becomes very i'm
portant. No doubt the long-contnued
damp, bad weather, which we have had
since the middle of September, has been
a predspOsing cause of much of the
sickness at present, but in my opinion
the immediate exciting cause of these
cases of fever, almost without exception,
may be traced to the drinking of impure
creek water.
The sewers from nearly 40 houses
empty into the creek above the falls,
some of them above the orifice of the
intake pipe. Owing to flaws in this
pipe, water enters it at several places
between its orifice and the falls, therefore
there is great danger of the water be-
coming contaminated.
The village authorities intend to lay a
longer and perfect intake pipe as soon
as possible. Until this is done we would
advise all to either obtain drinking wa
ter from other sources, or take the pre-
caution of thoroughly boiling the creek
water.
