Soporific Shells.

The most remarkable proposition
for ameliorating the horrors of war,
and at the same time adding to the ef-
ficiency of the ammunition issued to
American troops in the Philippines,
has been placed before the Army Ord
nance Board by philanthropic per-
son, whose name is not divulged by
the authorities. The scheme involves
the manufacture of explosive shells of
all calibers, from those of the maya
zine rifles to the heaviest artillery
containing a quantity of a highly
soporific substance, preferably of the
nature of chloroform. The exact ccm-
position of the shell is not made
known, though ii is described as being
as harmless as ordinary gelatine or
celluloid, and similar in appearance to
these substances, and it is offered to
the Government for consideration.
The inventor proposes that volleys of
these shells shall be exploded over an
enemy's position sprinkling their con-
tents far and wide, with the irresisti-
BILE result of putting the entire oppos-
ing force to sleep.
Another proposition which has just
been brought before the Board pro-
vides a powerful magnet to be sus-
pended above the head of each soldier
by means of trellis attachment to the
helmet, its purpose being to defect
bullets in their flight from the vital
parts of the body. A modification of
the proposition involves the suspen-
sion Of similar magnets from the
masts OF warships to induce projec-
ucles to seek trajectories overhead,
instead OF hitting the vessel.
Army officers say that these two
schemes, while rather extreme, are
not remotely different from numerous
propositions submitted for considera-
lion, some OF which are backed by
strong political influences, and many
Of which are accompanied by congress
sional appropriations. Most of them,
like the chloroform shell and the mag
netic helmet, will not be adopted in
the service.-New York Tribune.

A Novel Insurance Company.

A League for Eligibles to which any
unmarried person can belong upon the
payment of 50, and which endows its
members upon marriage with sum
not exceeding $780, is one of the lat
est novelties in cooperative schemes.
With a membership of 5000 persons
the League for Ehgibles is just be-
coming known to the ambitious youth
of Chicago Nevertheless it is a Chic
ago scheme, which was originated two
years ago and until recently promoted
by correspondence.
In joining the League of Eligibles
the plan is to insure against marriage
instead of death.
The eligible joins the league, pays
the 50 initiation fee and thereupon
takes out policy against marriage.
Should he suffer matrimony a levy is
then made on the members of the
league, 25 cents per capita, or, if that
should raise more than $500. such
amount as would keep the endowment
within the limit
Besides putting in his 50 membership
fee the Lacquer promises himself to
get other members, so cents being al
lowed him on his endowment tax for
each member procured.-New York

"Jack" Richards Knew About
George.

The following incident will be read
with interest by many State Journal
readers. 1t is related by Margaret B.
Downing in Success of young Jack
Richards, the S-year-old son of the
former attorney general of Ohio, Hon.
]. X. Richards:
while his parents and he were be-
ing shown through the beautiful coun-
try-seat of Hampton Court, in Eng
land, in company with a high Eng
lish nobleman. little Jack was playing
about and learning a great many les
sons. The custodian was telling his
usual tales, and in the winery he
pointed out vine planted by George
III. He explained that the grapes
from that particular specimen were
reserved for the queen herself and
that no lesser parsonage tested them.
Turning, with patronizing air, to
Young America. who was gazing at the
vine, he said:
II suppose you do not know who
George III was?"
20, yes, | do; he was the George
that fought our George; but our
George licked him, and licked him
good"

The Case Of MIR. Clark.

william A. Clark did well to resign
his position as United States senator
from Montana and thus save himself
and his state the further ignominity
OF his expulsion. He can hardly be
blamed for having accompanied the
announcement of his resignation with
speech defending and excuslng him
self That speech will, however, not
make any change in the public opln-
ion, which has with practical unani-
nifty, sustained the report of the Sem
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions recommending his expulsion.
He found fault with the methods pur-
sued by the committee in securing its
evidence and also in the character Of
its report. He cited some utterances
of portion of the committee, which
he claimed sustained his views. But
the fact remains that every member of
the committee, which embraced men
of all parties, including his own.
agreed that he ought to be expelled,
and only differed as to some less i'm
portant features
The resignation of Mr. Clark would
have had more merit IL 1t had not been
so long delayed and only been tend
cred when the committees report was
about to be acted upon, and canvas
of the Senate had disclosed that it
would be adopted. His forced retire
ment will doubtless prove valuable
lesson to those cherishing the idea
that the only requirement for United
States senator is to have a big bank
account and no scruples about how
large portion of it is expended
among the State legislators. The
Senate, by its action in the Clark case,
following up its vindication of the
Constitution in the Quay case, has
vastly increased its credit among the
people, and done itself and the Nation
great service.
Clark's appointment by the acting
governor of Montana to fill the va
cancy caused by his resignation is a
distinct affront to the Senate and to
public sentiment, which the former
should not be slow in resenting. The
rejection of Roberts, of Utah, by the
House of Representatives affords a
precedent to guide the Senate in pre-
venting its membership being Joined
by one who has been adjudged by its
own committee and his personal ac-
ton in resignfng of having been guilty
of conduct which should disqualify
him for the high Office of United
States senator.-Pitsburg Times.

Missing Millions.

If you haven't counted up your
horde of yellow treasure lately. hunt
out your garret hiding place, pull out
the old stocking and count the golden
coin over carefully. There's millions
in tiff not in your stocking, in some
other secret safe as secure and OBJ
scure. BY the Treasury showing there
is an outstanding amount Of gold ag-
gregating $400,OOO,0O0 lying around
loose at present unaccounted for. 1t
is not in the nature of an embezzle-
ment. Nobody is suspected of having
stolen it. 1t has simply became mis-
placed in the record of official calcu-
lation. The situation seems to be
technically after this wise: Accord
ing to the last Treasury statement of
circulation the gold in the United
States amounted to $1,025, 1925, 1872 OF
this sum $232 ,225,336 belonged to the
government and $2S9,381 ,232 was held
by National banks. This let S504 $685.
56S outside of the treasury and the the
National banks. 1t is estimated that
the gold held by the State banks, saw
ings banks. trust institutions and life
insurance companies amounted to
$100 100000. Deduct this sum from the
s504, ,606,56S noted above, and there re-
mains in the country more than $400,-
100000 of gold, the whereabouts OF
which nobody appears to know.
These figures represent the discrep-
ancy between the visible supply Of
gold and the sum which is known tt
be actually in the country. Uncle
Sam is anxious to know how it dis
appeared, and, therefore, he is making
confidential inquiries of jewellers, art
use gold in their vocations to ascer.
tain how much of the missing meta
has been diverted from its purposes al
money metal. But this alone can
not possibly account for that 100000,
900 of missing gold, and the chance!
are as before suggested, that itht
wooden stocking, the historic boarding
place of many a saving wage earne
and many thrifty housewife, is once
more receiving its regular addition o
yellow treasure. The hiding of gold i!
cited as one of the hereditary passions
of mankind, mysterious, world-wid,
and ineradicable, and the mysterious
disappearance OF yellow millions
awakens suspicion that it was being
practiced here in our own country to
day more widely than ever before

price This has been done in spirit
of fairness to all the papers, and that
condition of affairs has so far as we
know been satisfactory to the print
ers-the half rate paying very we'll for
the space.
The existing method has been
Thought by Council to be excessive,
and that body has sought for the past
year at least to relieve that condition,
and get the total advertising bills
within the one hundred per cent lin

tinue at two hundred per cent. as it
has been with four papers each at
fifty percent.
All the papers were asked TO make
bids for the work, and the Leader
was the only paper to respond. The
price given by it was the present rate
of fifty per cent. of The legal rate, just
what the balance of the papers and
ourselves are now receiving. The
other papers made no bid. We don't
know why. Their failure to respond
to the request of Council lies with
themselves

LAST EVENINGS SESSION.
The session last evening opened at
740 with an organ prelude. Rev. Wal
ter Ella of Pascoag presided. The choir
and congregation then sang "Midgof'
in unison otter which the choir OF the
Broadway church sang an anthem.
Rev. Il. n. Vinton lea the congrega-
tion in prayer. Rev. A. j. Coultas read
the reports foS the exercises today.
Upon the conclusion Of the reading OF
these reports America" was sung
by the congregation and choir.
President Waiter Ella, in brief re-
marks then introduced Rev. DR.. j. Nj.
King ID. d., OF Philadelphia as the
speaker of the evening.
Rev. DR.. King devoted some time TO
remarks on the relation OF religion 10
civil government, showing in clear and
convincing way how religion was the
basis OF our own government. He said
tndl lNlS AuBiO-CdAOil, htpupiiSoh'
Christian. American civilization sprang
from four characters, Hollander, HUI
guenot. Puritan and Cavalier He sub
divided the civilization, into three
branches, city or state, church and
school. Speaking OF the branch, city or
state, he remarked that the time would
come when II would be just as much a
crime 10 kill a principle as TO kill an
individual. Speaking OF the church. he
confined his remarks to comparison
of Christian principles as preached by
the Methodists and as preached py
other denominations.
He then discussed the third and last
branch, schools. He referred TO the man
ner In which foreigners were placed In
our public schools and by the aid of our
great teachers turned out into the
world, fuli-nedged Americans.
The middle class. not the upper class
or the lower class. formed the civ IL
zaticn of our country. The Methodist
ministry was a sent" ministry. not
n called" one and was always the
very foremost to be ready TO minister
to the sinners. He expla ned the grand
increase in churches and church prop
erty that had taken place in the last
decade In this connection he men
toned the fact that there are still over
1000 organized churches in the coun-
try without building TO shelter them.
In conclusion he made an urgent re-
quest that the church might be ex-
panded until one or more was placed
in each and every country in the entire
world. At the conclusion OF his re-
marks a collection was taken up,
amounting 10 $lSi2. This sum Is to be
used to circulate reports of the needs
and uses OF the Board Of State Exten-
sion.
The congregation joined the choir in
singing the Doxology. President Wal
ter Ella then pronounced benediction.
The Broadway NJ. T.. church choir was
in attendance and rendered two selec-
tions. The Y. NJ. c. A. quartette rend-
cred two songs with fine effect.
