that the present Lieutenant Governor
Mtlliman would appoint him senator to
fill vacancy. The suggestion comes
from sources unfriendly to the governor
and his friends have never dignified
the story with denial. AS congress
Will not meet until December there is
no need of present action in the way
of filing the vacancies and the pre-
sumption is that Gov. Shaw will take
his time about the matter. He would
hardly call a special session of the leg
islature for the sole purpose of choos-
ing a senator, but other matters may
arise between now and December to
Justify him in assembling that body.
This is merest speculation, however.
All that may be assumed with conf
dence is that no appointment will be
made until after the presidential e.ec-
ton
If the governor is inclined TO go to
the congressional delegation for sue
cessor. he can find good men and ex-
perienced legislators in Henderson,
Deliver, Cousins, Hull. Lacey and
Hepburn; and outside of the delega-
ton are several prominent public men,
Including A. B. Cummins, who would
serve the state well and honor the Of
flee.
The Minneapolis Tribune offers the
following suggestions:
The death of the venerable Senator
Gear, of Iowa. probably opens the way
for Congressman Delivers speedy pro-
motion to the senate. This will be
much better for Deliver than if he had
been nominated for vice president at
| Philadelphia.
Senator Gear was reelected by the
last Iowa legislature for the term be-
ginning on the 4th of March next, not-
withstanding his advanced age of 10
years. Dolliver was prominently men.
TONED for the place. but did not push
his claims, out respect for the long SER
vice and high character of the incum-
bent and the people of Iowa concluded
TO keep Gear in the senate as long as
he wanted to stay there.
"Dolliver, if he is appointed to fill the
Vacancy, Will be a brilliant addition TO
Iowa's representation in the upper
house. and when the next legislature
convenes it will probably elect him
for the full term.

When he was d wholesale merchant.

kept one book for him in which were
numerous entries under the simple head

"reminiscences, of that kind that could

Iowa ever since. He was not brilliant
man, or one cultured in the highest
sense: but he had warm heart, his

the success of man who had 80 many

 A novel suit involving the status of "a company after consolidation with an- other having the same objects is return able to the superior court the first Tuesday in April. The parties are the Republican Publishing company of 'Meriden, plaintiff, and the Interna- tional Paper company, popularly known as the Paper Trust, defendant.
 Some time since the plaintiff made a contract with the c. R. Remington s Sons company of Watertown, N. Y by the terms of which the latter became bound to furnish twelve carloads of paper to the plaintiff company at a stipulated price, with an option of three additional cars at the same rate. After four carloads had been delivered the Watertown company was absorbed by the Paper Trust. The plaintiff claimed the right to purchase eleven carloads more at the old rate. This right, it is alleged, the trust denied, after sending one carload at the agreed price, where upon the plaintiff brought suit for breach of contract, claiming $5,000 dam ages. Attorney w. l..

THE SHEFFIELD LECTURE.
F. II. Newell on "The Water Problem

IF. II. Newell on "The Water Problem
 in the Arid West"
 The seventh lecture of the course was
 given last evening in North Sheffield ] hall before an excellent audience, con- sidering the disagreeable weather. The lecturer of the evening was F. Il. NC" : ell of Washington, D. O., hydrograpner of the United States geological survey,
 who delivered an address entitled The
 Water Problem in the Arid West" bas- ed upon the Investigations of the water
 resources of the country being made py the division of hydrography ot that sur vey His descriptions were illustrateo l by maps, views and diagrams showing the operations of measuring the streams and determining the fluctuations III quantity from day to day and from ses- son to season.
 At various localities, from Maine to | California, suitable points have been chosen for making measurements of the flow of rivers typical of the section. It has not been possible, of course, to ae- termine the flow of all important rivers but 1t is assumed that the facts optalh- ed from one locality will apply to an other after suitable corrections pave been made for differences in the extent and character of the drainage area. Throughout the country water pow CTS have fallen into disuse CT have been neglected for the last twenty or more years. This has been due to the fact that the power has been fixed at one point and could not be brought to cea- ters Of population or lines of transport alton. Recently, however, the develop ment of electrical transmission has changed all of this, and water powers which previously were overlooked are now being used, power being carried from remote streams fifty or one nun
 dred miles away to the cities. rms IS particularly the case where in the west the regulation of the streams for irri- gation makes possible the development of cheap power. ~...,..f.
 The waters which occur underground and are reached by wells have often value not only for domestic use, but TOT industrial purposes. Throughout a great part of the United States water is the only mineral of importance, and upon it's quantity and quality depends to large extent the land values. This IS particularly the case on the Great Plains, where perennial streams are un- known and where the rich soil cannot be cultivated without an artificial sup ply of moisture.
 The distribution of water beneath the surface and the depth at which 1t can be found were shown upon maps pre- pared by the geological survey While the capacity and cost of reservoir sites for conserving the flow were exhibited in various reports. All of this work is designed to bring prominently before the public the opportunities for develop ing the resources of the country.

SING sING's PRINTING PLANT.

l It's History and Latest Product, the star of Hope" q Prison Paper Thlrty-seven convicts. are employed in | the printing trade at Sing Sing and 1t is the most interesting work in the state l prisons A few years ago, before Fer dinand Ward was liberated from Sing Sing, the commissioners of prisons es- tablished a printing office there on q small scale, where most of the small
 work required by the institution was
 turned out. The little press was opera ted day after day by the Napoleon of Finance. Some of the samples of his work are still to be found, laid away In the stock room of the printing and sta tionery department The little press is no longer in use. It stands in corner of the printing office and in it's place are a Walter Scott cylinder, two universals and a big Gordon press operated by
 electricity. Besides these machines are
 a paper cutter, a perforator and stapling machines and plenty of type.
 This plant was put in by ex-Warden Sage and the prison commissioners upon
 the recommendation of Ferdinand Ward, and it has proved valuable in-
 
 small scale in the Clinton prison at Dannemora, and also at Auburn and at the Albany penitentiary. At sing Sing. however, the plant exceeds in capacity that of all the outer state institutions. The work includes, besides the regular line of blank forms In use'in the various departments of the penal institutions, the printing of the annual reports of the prison commissioners, the reports of the superintendent of prisons and also the report of the Craig Colony for J1pilep- tics.
 In addition to the general work of the printing shops q semimonthly paper is published. It is the Star of Hope, sixteen-page paper, three wide columns to the page It was started on April 22 1899, at the suggestion of H. Appleton, a Poughkeepsie printer, who is serving five-year sentence for embezzlement and H. K. White of Brooklyn, former newspaper writer. who is serving a ten-year term for forgery. It is filled with contributions by the convicts. Fourteen men are actively engaged in issuing the paper. The publication is under the management of Appleton and the others directly connected with it are: H. K. White, ten years, of Brook lyn, editor-in- chief; Roland Smith, ten years, of Brooklyn, assistant editor; William Pattri. four years, of New York proof-readers. w. McMahon, one-year man from New York, is the preSsman
 The paper contains many illustra- tions. These have been made by Will liam Koerner, who is serving life sen- tence for the murder of his sweetheart, Rosa Redgate. on Sixth avenue, in 1895. Koerner has been transferred to Au- burn but he still contributes to the pa- per. At present the illustrations, or great part >of them, are the work of Duncan Young, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of George

Georgia, inserted little advertisement in one of the society papers asking for young lady correspondent, his object being a little pleasant pastime and possibly matrimony. Miss Marion Will son, the eldest daughter of Mr. D. M. Wilson, of this city, intending only a little fun, answered the advertisement.
 The two young people engaged in a very pleasant correspondence, which grew in interest as the days rolled by On Tuesday the hero of this story alighted from the cars in the Magic City and shortly thereafter called at the home of Mir Wilson to see the charming heroine. He found her and the two were satisfied to unite their fate. The tender missives had often told in endearing terms what now could be told face to face. It was a case of mutual love at first sight.
 The permission of the girls parents was sought and obtained for an early marriage There was some hesitation on account of the brief acquaintance of the two, but the old folks finally yielded and Thursday night the ceremony was performed by the Rev.
