 firms is negotiating for land in differ ent parts of the island, on which will be grown all kinds of tropical fruits, winter vegetables and tropical nursery stock. The produce will be shipped to New York, whence it will be sent to other points by agents of the company. "A farm of 100 acres is already in oper- ation at Rio Piedras, six miles from San Juan.

% The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Times tells pretty anecdote of the
 Empress Frederick. Some years after
 the Franco German war military man.
 0euyres were being conducted on the
 other side of the frontier, and on one
 particular day grand review of cav-
 airy was to be held. The troops were
 drawn up, awaiting the arrival of the Emperor William I, when suddenly the Crown Princess rode on to the ground and proceeded to the spot where the military attaches were located. This was the first occasion since the war of 1870 on which the French army had been represented at manoeuvres in Germany. The delicate mission had been intrusted to Colonel Grandin, who afterward became general of division, and who, as was but natural, was feel ing rather lost amid all this assem- blaze. Addressing herself to the gal lant soldier, the Crown Princess said: 'Colonel, am particularly glad to see you to-day and, as he bowed low remark, she added: "Yes, this is the anniversary of the fall of Sebastopol, and on that day our two armies won great victory together"

THE REGISTERS Wall.

AS was expected by everybody, the
poor old Register went off into one oi
her periodical spells of hysteria over
the passage of the ordinance by City
Council, granting the Electric Com
pany the right to cross the Putnam
street bridge, and thus giving to the
people of the West Side the privileges
to which they are by every argument
entitled. For weeks this question has
been pending, and while the Council
has been petitioned to grant the right
of way, as asked for, no word of pro-
test has been filed with that body by
any citizen of Marietta against the
proposition. True, the Register, in it's
characteristic dictatorial style, at
tempted to coerce and browbeat Coun-
Gil into doing its bidding, but as usual
its bulldozing tactics failed of their
purpose, and the result of the vote
proves the correctness of it's own ad-
mission that it is without influence.
The Leader, true to its policy, has
all along been willing to leave the set
tlement of the franchise question en-
tirely with the members of the Coun-
ell, gentlemen of integrity and ability
in whom their constituents have full
faith, and whose honesty has never
been brought into question on any prop
osition. The result of the final vote
on the adoption of the ordinance meets
with general approval among the
citizens of Marietta. Five members of
Council voted against the ordinance,
but we have no quarrel to pick with
them on that account. and have neith-
er desire nor disposition to place them
either above or below any imaginary
dead line" because of that fact. Their
votes were their own, and they had a
perfect right to cast them as their
judgment dictated. just as the other
seven members had right to cast
theirs. This is a country of free
speech and free vote. and whenever a
man becomes so narrow as to look up
on other people as fools and thieves
just because they do not happen to
agree with himself, he has undoubted-
ly reached the suDerlative degree of
degeneracy and his days of usefulness
III he ever had any-are gone.

This is progressive age and Mari
eta is progressive city. Her citizens
are alive to their own best interests, and
whenever a good thing comes their
way, true to the spirit of enterprise
which characterizes their every move,
they believe in pushing it along. = In
company with the marching throng,
the Leader is in the pushing business,
and if the old granny down street is too
slow to "'catch on" that's her own
fault, not ours.
Always growing, always condemn
ing, rather than commending.a pessi-
mist in the full measure of the term
is it any wonder that the Register has
no influence?
Here's to Marietta-may her indus
tries continue to multiply, and may
her people be prosperous and happy.
This is the wish of the Leader, and to
this end our best efforts are pledged

Comment on the action of the City
Council in granting the Marietta Elec-
trio Company the right to lay it's rail-
road tracks across Putnam street
bridge is favorable among the people
of the city. 1t is conceded by all
classes that the citizens of the West
Side were fully entitled to the privilege
thus accorded them, and they are not at
all slow in their expressions of appre-
citation.

Mr.. MARSCA'S FIGURES.

At the meeting of City Council
Tuesday evening Councilman Marsch,
of the First Ward presented some
strong facts in the way of figures on
the value to the city of the electric
light and power that will be supplied
by the Marietta Electric Company un-
der the provisions of the Putnam
street bridge ordinance. Figuring on
a basis of ten lights per day-four
government, four safety guage,s and
two in the motor house-the value Of
the electric current would be 451a cents
per day. In twenty years this would
amount to $3821.14, including the $500
of the draw. Three turns would add
an additional five hundred dollars, and
in slack water time there may be even
more than an average of three, Mr.
Marsch also stated that the Electric
Company offered to pay the city $3.50
per year for twenty years in lieu OF
furnishing the electric current, but the
Committee considered the other propo-
sition the best. In view of the fact
that the additional cost of construction
on the bridge because of the equipment
for street railway purposes amounts to
less than four thousand dollars. it Is
difficult for a man of reason to figure
out as to how the city has been robbed
by the passage of the ordinance

oughly competent, and that through
his supervision this institution has at
tanned most enviable reputation in

ers themselves will be knocked out.

Proves ft Was Not Murder.

Evidence In Case of Fl. H. Drak e
Proves II Was Not Murder.
Special to Times Republican.
C)skaloosa, March 19.-The coroner's
report on the death of H. H. Drake.
whose suicide was announced last ev-
ening in the Times Republican, is to the
effect that the evidence of suicide Is
clear, as money and notes We're found
on his person and there had been no at
tempt at robbery.
The coroner decided that death was
the result of suicide The man was
missed by his neighbors Saturday. and
the house. which was locked and barri-
caded, was entered by a posse Sunday
night and the body found in dacom-
posed condition. The man had been
dead at Least five days He was a
wealthy farmer and lived alone. The
place contains a hundred and twenty
acres. Deceased was worth about $l0.-
900, including lands, notes and chattels.
He lived on the scantiest fare and hts
house was little better than dugout in
the side of n hill. The bed was bunk
of rough boards, built at side Of the
single room of the hut. Before shoot
ing himself he had nailed down the
windows and propped the door shut.
But one ball. evidently the last, was
fatal. 1t went entirely thru the head.
He had been married and has a son,
Professor Drake. formerly of Sheboy-
gan, Wis, college. His present resi-
dence is unknown.
