DEWETS LATEST DEED.

Many people feel exceedingly bitter
on account of Admiral George Dewey
deciding his recently acquired home
in Washingt ton to his newly welded
wife. They feel that as this was a
gift from the people to him in recogni-
ton of his magnificent services at
Manila, he had no right to give it
away to another, in whom people at
large have no especial interest. 1t is
true that both have since united in a
deed of the property to the Admirars
son, subject to their life estate, but
many people claim that this was only
an after thought to appease the right
eous indignation which the transfer
occasioned.
This is q transaction which the peo-
pie at large have a right to criticise as
it is matter in which the whole
country has an interest; the gift as it
did, coming from representative citi-
zens all over the United States. We
have no doubt the stir has caused the
parties interested much unpleasant
ness, but they should not have allow
ed themselves to be put in this awk-
ward position. 1t would seem to
layman that were it the original in
tention of the Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey to have the property remain
in the Dewey descendants. that the
operation of the law in itself would
have accomplished this and given the
future Dewey's much stronger title
than is now the case any as school boy
lawyer knows that descent is regarded
by Blackstone as a stronger title than
purchase, especially when the deed
recites merely nominal considera-
ton.

FAVORABLE SHOWING.

The statement of the operations OF
the Baltimore and Lehigh Railway
Company for the four months ending
October 31st, has been issued and
meets with Favorable comment upon
all sides. 1t reflects with great credit
upon the manner in which Mr.. Will
liam A. Moore, the efficient General
Manager of the Company has conduct
ed affairs. The Company has been
able to relieve itself from debt, entire
ly, and is able to show surplusage
of So, 51G.55; and it is confidently ex-
pected that the long looked for divi-
dend will soon be apparent.
The gross earnings for the four
months were $50, 44G IS as compared
with $50, 04S.21 in 1898; while the ex,
pense of operating the road, by the
careful management of Mr. Moore
was S3G, 096.25 in 1899 as against $780,
553. 81 in 1898. This marks an increase
of $5,397.91 in the earnings and de-
crease Of $457G0 in the expenses.
One thing must be distinctly borne
in mind, viz. the b. s. l.. has no bonds
and all surplus earnings are applica-
Bile to dividends.
The road, although a small one
comparatively speaking-is in high
state of prosperity and is to be con-
graduated for having at its head, a
set of officials who are able to present
to the stockholders SO gratifying a
state Inent.
The directors, accompanied by a
number of business men will make a
trip of inspection over the road on to-
morrow, Saturday.

to be made use of in presenting to the
grand jury facts regarding violations
of the law.
The supervisors of elections are to
have printed the ballots used in pri-
maries. Provision is made for fur
nishing ballots to any candidates,
delegated or voters, or groups of such,
who may desire others than those
ordered by the party organization.
Each ticket voted for may have a
challenger to represent it, who may
also witness the count. Judges and
clerks who interfere with challengers
or endeavor to obstruct them in any
way may be severely punishished.
Glass ballot boxes and carefully pre-.
pared polling lists are to be used. The
supervisors of elections are to can
vass the returns as under the general
election law.

The plot does more. however. than simply pro-
races and kindred sports, although it does that
cleverly. The snares set for the young Earl by
his enemies, and the successful escapes from

material. The authors have fashioned out OF
it a compact, intricate and ALA bsorhiog story
which, together with the inevitable intertwin-
ing of pathetic tale of love, and "business,"
entitle the piece to its claim OF superiority over
any melodrama ever before produced. There
are thirty important speaking ppris TO be filed,

THE LOST rs FOUND.

It is often said that time will yindi.
cate all things, and the truth of this
saying has been strikingly illustrated
to the writer of this article. For years
past he has been unceasingly-per.
scented, seems too harsh word-so
we will say, reminded, by the Deer
Creek Farmers Club that he had lost
or mislaid a statement of the finances
of Hartford county, prepared for the
Club at considerable expense. 1t was
in vain that the writer protested his
innocence and his attempt to show
that the. valuable document disap-
peared before he became a member of
club, and consequently he had never
seen it, was treated with derision. 1t
was even darllly limited that the last
timeit was seen it was dangerously
near the office stove, one member in
deed going SO far rs to remember the
particular cold morning when it was
used to kindle the fire.
But there is, in the dispensation of
Providence, a day of retribution and
that day has come. The report has
been found and it will not be neces-
sary to provide all urn for the repose
of its treasured ashes. 1t was dis
covered in the intact shape, without
the footprints of the newspaper office
goat, safely reposing in the law office
desk of one of the members and, by
the way, an ex-president of the club.
1t would be cruel to state who this
member is, as his office is a model for
system, where papers are never mis-
laid, and is one which is held up as an
example for us all to follow. We
would state however, that he was one
OF the most active members Of the
committee appointed to discover the
strayed manuscript. The writer can
only say in Vincit gui
p0tituT.
