Jail Branch" at point some two
miles above the orators mills, and,
by means OF an aqueduct, has conduct
ed water from the stream to the City
OF Barre, and is there furnishing
certain persons and corporations with
water for polishing granite. The
water use d for this purp )se diminishes
the water supply which the orators
formerly had at their mills for power
purposes, and the orators contend
that this use OF the water is not au-
thorized by the defendants charter.
The words, ''other purposes, In
thi. charter were construed by this
court In Re Barre Water Company, 81
Vt q, and 1T was then considered
that they referred to purposes of the
same kind as those specially mentione d
and to mean other public purposes.
Adopting this construction, we have
for consideration the question whether
use Of water for polishing granite
is like use for fire or domestic or
sanitary purposes;
The use Of water for polishing gran
lite is q use In a business or trade car
ried on by private parties for manu-.
featuring for sale, monuments and
other articles out OF granite and must
be regarded as a private use for manu-
featuring purposes. The business is
one in which the public has no direc-
ton or control. The parties engaged
in this business are under no duty to
serve the public or individuals. No
one has right to have granite pol
iShed at their mills or to be employed
therein. Such use of water is strictly
private and has none Of the elements
of a public use, like a use for fire, do
nestle and sanitary purposes.
When this charter was under con-
sideration In Re Barre Water Comp
any, the defendant contended that it
had right, under the charter, to take
and use water for running small mo-
tors for light manufacturing, and to
rent water for that purpose; but 1t
was held that such use was not pub.
lie use and was not authorized by the
charter, and damages we're then
awarded to the owners of mills situat-
ed below the defendants dam on the
basis that water c uld be taken and
used only for fire, domestic and sani-
tary purpos S.
We see no reason for distinguishing
the use then contended for by the de.
PENDANT, and held not authorized by
the charter, from the use now con-
tended for. Both uses are for manu-.
featuring purposes, strictly private,
and, in no sense, like a use for fire,
domestic or sanitary purposes. 1t is
therefore considered that the renting
or furnishing OF water for polishing
granite Is a use not authorized by the
charter.
Decree reversed and cause remanded

OBITUARY.
Charles w. West.

Mr.. Charles w. West died at his
home, No. 125 Gordon street, west this
city at 2;40 o'clock this morning.
In his death Savannah loses a vel
known and beloved citizen. Mr.. West
was born in New York city, March 27
1910. He came to Savannah in 1859
where he has since resided, being a
prominent factor in business and social
life. In response to dutys call he en-
listed in the Confederate Army and
spent four years in it's service. He was
a member of the Confederate Veterans
Association, and held sacred the MEM
cries of the Lost Cause"
In 1865 he formed with his brother
the firm of A. M. & c. w. West, which
has had an uninterrupted existence for
thirty-seven years, save that in 1895
Mr.. C. w. West, Jr., son of Mr.. A. NJ.
West, was admitted to the firm, the
firm name being unchanged.
When only 10 years old Mr.. West
united with the Baptist Church of New
York city. then pastored by DR.. Armi-
tage. Dec. Is, 1859, he connected with
the Savannah Baptist Church. becom.
ing a deacon in 1869 by choice of the
Church. AT the time of his death he
was senior deacon and chairman of
the board, leading in the spiritual as
well as supervising the business affairs
of the church. For fourteen years he
was superintendent of the Sunday
school. He was moderator Of the
New Sunbury Baptist Association for
the past ten years, presiding over its
deliberations with dignity and to the
entire satisfaction of his brethren.
In business he was just and conscien-
tious one whose soul delighted in a
a recognized leader, and in his home
he was a model man and Christian.
He was in sympathy with all benevo-
lent and charitable work, often filling
with credit stations of honor and trust
among his fellows.
1t was in his every day life that Mr..
West displayed those graces and beau
ties of character which rem
dered him beloved. He COM
bined gentleness with courage;
modesty with perseverance in all right
actions; prudence with wisdom; regard
for the wishes and feelings of others
with liberal charity.
In 1864 he married Miss Adelaide r.
Boulineau of Savannah, who survives
him. For thirty-eight years of happy
married life he has lavished upon her
every attention and care which love
and affection could prompt Besides
her, he leaves his brother, Mr.. A. M.
West, several nephews and nieces, and
a host of friends to mourn his loss.
The funeral will probably take place
from the First Baptist Church to-
morrow morning.

Says Discipline at West Point Has
Been satisfactory for Year.
Washington, Oct. 16.-Col. A. L.
Mills, superintendent of the United
States Military Academy, in his an
nual report says that the discipline of
the corps of cadets of the academy has
been very satisfactory throughout the
year. He makes the following refer
ence to hazing:
During the year there has been no
relaxation. of proper efforts to make
permanent the reforms already accom-
plished bearing on the treatment ac-
corded new cadets by their older COM
rades. ~~fhe regulations governing the
subject have been carefully enforced,
and, with but a single exception that
is worthy of note, cadets have shown
a soldierly regard for their obligations
in the matter The exception referred
to-the first under the new regula-
tions-is that of a cadet who, without
authority, made a fourth class man
assume a constrained position and
used threatening and abusive language
to him. For this offense the cadet was
brought to trial by a court-martial,
and, being found guilty, was dismissed.
NO one conVersant with the progress
new cadets now make apprehends any
i'll effect in training from the passing

POSTAGE STAMPS FOR 1902.
The Especial Use for which the New
13-Cent stamp Is Issued.

From the Boston Transcript.
AS soon as the die proof of the first
of the new series of United States post
age stamps is approved by the Post
master General plates will be made
| and the stamp issued to the public.
| It's denomination is 10 cents; Benjamin
Harrison occupies the center OF the
field.
This will be the first 13-cent stamp
ever issued by the United States. Up
to 1879 a stamp of the value of cents
had been in use ten years, but was
discontinued when the rate of foreign
|. postage was reduced to cents. The
new Harrison stamp will be little used
in domestic mails. Its issuance is the
outgrowth of the increased foreign
registration service; covering as it will
the postage and registration fee upon
a letter Weighing one-half ounce any
where within the limits OF the Postal
Union, which now includes practically
all the organized nations of the world.
Stamp experts who have examined
the drawing for the new stamp say IL
will be one of the finest specimens of
a postage stamp ever produced, ex-
cepting the famous Columbian series
and the Pan-AmeFican set. In addition
to the usual United States OF
America ana POSTAGE thirteen
Cents" the inscription Series of 1902"
together with Harrison and figures
giving the date of birth and death,
appear upon the design. The portrait
was selected by Mrs. Harrison and is
said to have been the late Presidents
favorite.
When the Postolfice Department or
dered this new series it requested the
Treasury to make special efforts to pro-
vide stamps that should be not only
distinctive but indicative of the pro-
gress I'M the engraver's art in which
the United States has become famous.
The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing has entered into the spirit of the
occasion and will produce the best
work Of which 1t is capable. After the
thirteen-cent stamp will come the new
four-cent. This will not continue to
bear the familiar features of President
Lincoln, but those of Gen. Grant. These
two Presidents change places: Grant
appears on the four and Lincoln will
later have a place on the FIVE. There
will be something of shaking-up in
the postal gallery of notables when this
new series is completed. Commodore
Perry who has for score of years oc-
cupied the central oval on the one-dol-
lar stamp--rarely seen by the general
public--is to be superseded by Admiral
Farragut. Gen. William Tecumseh
Sherman, who for many years has fig
ured on the eight-cent stamp, disap-
pears entirely from the series. His
place will be taken upon the stamp of
The Savannah morning news., 1902-10-17

that denomination by Martha Wash
ington.
1t has been supposed by some persons
that Martha Washington was the first
woman honored with position upon a
United States postage stamp. 1t is re-
called, however, that the Columbian
series, issued in commemoration of the
Worlds Fair, contained a portrait of
Queen Isabella of Spain, appearing,
/ besides that of Christopher Columbus.
on the four-dollar denomination. Gen.
Sherman, while he disappears from the
stamp series, is not wholly forgotten.
He succeeds to the place now held by
Gen. Grant on the return postal card.
The entire new series will probably
be on sale before the close of the pres
ent year. They will appear one at
time as the dies are approved and the
plates made. 1t is customary to change
a series of postage stamps every eight
or ten years. The present set has per-
formed service continuously for twelve
years, however. 1t is notable that with
all the changngs and shiftings of these
honors, here Is one sturdy figure who
occupies the same place on our postage
stamps that he did fifty-one years ago,
when our first regular series was is
sued; and that Is Benjamin Franklin,
the founder, almost, Of the American
postoffice.
Through thick and thin Franklin has
never been disturbed in his occdpany
of the 1-oent stamp, and should we
come to penny postage, which is OBJ
viously but a question of time, the is
sue would arise whether Franklin
should continue in his place, or wheth-
er 1t should go to the much-monument-
ed Washington, whose relation to the
postal establishment was much more
remote. Washington has thus far been
nearly as undsturbed as Franklin i'm
occupying the popular stamp. In the
series of 1869, better known as the "lo-
connective" set, from the primitive,
woodworking lomocotive, however,
Washington was displaced by the loco
motive appearing instead on the scent
stamp. In 1871, when the locomotive"
series was abandoned, he returned to
the Scent stamp, where he remained
until 1880, when the unit of domestic
postage was changed to cents.
When the 13-cent stamp is issued.
there will have been three eligible ex-
Presidents who have not been honored
with a place in the postal gallery of
the nation during the last forty years
johnson, Hayes and Arthur. No liv-
ing ex-President is, of course, eligible.
President McKinley's portrait now APP
pears on the new postal cards. 1t is
understood that later a change will be
made and his likeness placed on one of
the principal denominations of postage
stamps.

The wholesale market for both an
thracite and soft coal was consider
ably easier to-day than it has been
for several weeks. Bituminous coal
sold as low as SAFE, while anthracite
was freely quoted at from SIS to SIG
and it was said one sale was made at
