The trial of Gerrlt H. Albers, indict-
cd by the grand jury for alleged brib-
cry of Grand Rapids officials in connec-
ton with the water deal. was booked to
start Monday but the superior court
dismissed the jury for a month and
thus postponed the trial In the circuit
court arguments to quash indictments
against Salisbury. Macleod. McGarry
and Taylor were postponed to July II
by agreement between the prosecutor
and attorneys for the defense. AL
though Albers is the only one who has
not resorted to technlcalities to delay
the trial and therefore will be the first
to be ready to face jury, it is believed
some of the others will he tried first.
1t Is said that the prosecutors office
has come into possession of some Inn
portant evidence bearing upon the in
dictment cases since the grand jury
took n recess. but the nature of the
new evidence will not be divulged by

Nindden's Ruling.

e. G. Madden, formerly OF Detroit,
and now third assistant postmaster
general. was raked over the Goals by
delegates at the National Social and
Political Conference in Detroit for his
restrictions of the privileges of the
second-class mail matter. Not more
than fifty delegates were present. but
those fifty were thinking all sorts of
things about him and his order. and
as many as could made their thoughts
public.
Mr. Madden recently issued an or
der that any paper Offering premiums
to increase its circulation shall be de-
barred from second-class privileges, as
shall any paper which shall print as
many copies for free distribution as
for regular subscribers. This, IL was
declared yesterday, Is in direct accord
ance with the wishes of the great eX-
press companies. sHEH

A man in North Carolina was sell
ing standing timber--walnut trees.
The man who was buying came to one
very handsome tree. He told the own
er he would pay as much as $50 for
that tree. The owner did not sell, but
sent for experts. He got $500 for the
tree (curled walnut) as it stood. The
man who cut it down realized $4,000
for it on the cars. 1t was shipped to
New York and veneered one,sixth to

Russin's Revenge.

When Secretary Cages action in inn
posing countervailing duties on Rus
sian sugar exported to the United
States was followed by so dispropor-
Tomato reprisal as the imposition of 30
per cent increased duties on the most
important American importations
there, the importers Of American tools
and machinery seemed stunned. They
were disposed to support Russia on the
legal aspects, but some of them re-eX-
amined the matter and concluded that
the Russian sugar regulations amount
to practical compulsiOn TO manufacture
for export. The actual effects of the
discriminating duties have not been as
disastrous rs expected. The decrease
in Asiatic imports is chiefly due to the
abolition of the open port ut Vladivos-
took.

There is sometimes wide interval
between the conception of mechani-
cal contrivance and its practical ac-
complishment. The flying machine,
fresh experiments with which are con-
stantly reported, is an example of de
lay in invention. A few years after
the landing of the Pilgrims, Dr. John
Wilkins, who afterward married a sis.
ter of oliver Cromwell, published a
work in which he said IL was possible
to make a flying chariot, in which a
man may sit, and give such motion
unto it as shall convey him through
the air. And this, perhaps, might be
made large enough to carry divers men
at the same time, together with food
for their viaticum, and commodities
for traffic" The suggestion Of a trade
side to air travel points to the remote
possibility of a fiying-machine comb.
nation which will control the "air-
line" of the future. At present there is
no reason to be alarmed. The business
opportunities of the region overhead
are still open to all.

America still has some things to
learn from older countries, particularly
in the way of economy. New York
City pays about five hundred thousand
dollars a year for the disposition of it's
garbage, while many English cities, by
burning their waste matter in special
furnaces. not only destroy it in the
most effective way, but make profit
from it. Being dried out, it becomes
fuel, and the heat which it generates
is used to furnish steam for pumping
water, operating city electric lighting
plants, and grinding up such portions
of the refuse as are capable of CONVEX
sion into cement, tiles and paving
blocks. This plan is in use in seventy
or eighty of the smaller cities of Eng.
and, and a million-dollar plant is in
process of erection in London.

Mrs. Elizabeth Burr Hamilton, said
to be the last member of the seventh
generation of the Burr family, who
died at Bridgeport, Conn, last week,
at the age of ninety, was the fifth
cousin of Aaron Burr, third vice-presii-
dent Of the United States, who killed
Alexander Hamilton, the lawyer and
statesman, in duel in 1904. Her death
recalls the fact that, though the famil-
les of Burr and Hamilton were the
most bitter enemies at the beginning
of the last century, love found a way
thirty-two years after the famous duel
to bring the families together again by
the marriage of Elizabeth Burr and
Alexander Hamilton in 1886.
