who is situated so as to be able to do
so, to afford the largest amount of
lucrative employment to the laboring
people. in the vinicity in which he
lives, which his situation in life and
circumstances will permit.
Now, when began, | had no
thought of writing at such great length,
bu6 want to say in conclusion that I
am not trying to argue against the
people voting to purchase the proper
ty in question. am only suggesting
that they consider whether or not the
village is really ready to undertake
that sort of a venture; that they con-
slider whether or not the matter of sew
erage should not be regarded as para
mount thereto. To me, in an individ-
ual sense, it will make very little diff
ference whether the people vote to pQr
chase the electric lighting property, or
vote not to do SO: but [ feel il a duty
to suggest that the voters ought to
well consider whether it will not be
better to postpone all thought of pur-
chasing, and in lieu thereof cause the
Common Council of the Village to
grant on terms that are right-terms
that are fair to all parties interested-a
long term franchise, securing in con-
sideration thereof good lighting SER
vice to the public and to private con-
sumers at rates that are fair and rea-
sOnable-rates that will not be bur-
densome to the people, still high enough
to guarantee for long term Of years
to those whose money IS invested in
the electric lighting venture annual
interest or dividends equal to the an
nual interest or dividends derived upon
oth5r frst-class investments in the
village Of Morris. I have long be-
lieved the doctrine that municipalities
should own and operate public service
utilities, operated within their limits,
but nevertheless entertain grave
doubts about whether Morris is at the
present time prepared to enter upon
additional ventures of that sort, when
it is so obvious to all that it's rev.
enues are needed for other purposes.

The Easy pin.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do
not grippe nor weaken the system
They cure biliousness, jaundice, con-
stipation and inactive livers, by
arousing the secretions, moving the
bowels gently, yet effectually, and
giving such tone and strength to
the glands of the stomach. liver and
bowels that the cause of the trouble
is removed entirely, These famous
little pills exert decided tonic effect
upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the
trouble. j. r. Kruger.

HELENA, Mon, May 27.-Niculae Tarcea,
a native Of Roumania, aged 43, is detained
In the police station here on suspicion.
He made an attempt yesterday afternoon
to mail registered letter to President

clined to receive the letter and notified
the police. Tarcea has been in Helena
four days. and while there was no ap-
prehenson that he would attempt 10
do anything violent during the stay OF
the President it was decided as a matter
of preoaution to keep him under restraint
and later inquire into his sanity. The
letter he attempted to register read as
follows:
Roosevelt. II you give me means for
expenses, l can do one balloon to fly in

General Sessions Judge said yesterday

ment to remove a certain City Magistrate
whose errAtio conduct on the bench has been
the subject Of q great many newspaper

From my experience said the Judge.

have just released two men who were
held by him under the vagrancy law, al
though one had so in his pockets and the

'They have prison records and were

thing OF the details OF the charges against

the effect that the charges are being pre-
pared"
An official in the Criminal Courts
Building said that for some time the City
Club has been preparing charges against
the Magistrate with the intention Of bring

There is no dishonesty alleged. said this

A member OF the City Club said last night
that he did not know whether or not his
club was preparing to move against the
Magistrate named. but he had heard that
the Bar Association had something Of
the kind on hand.
Your information as to the City Club, l
believe, is premature" he said, -but

was made for him that night. and yester-

OPEN TROLLEY CAR MUST GO.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Says 1t Causes Too
Many Damage Suits.

President Winter Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company said yesterday that
plans were being considered for the aboli-
ton OF the open trolley car in that borough.
The engineers and others who know figure
that the present summer conveyance adds
to the expenses Of the company through the
large number of damage claims carried
into the courts by reason Of women getting
of the cars backward.
The company proposes to seek a semi
open car. Something like the open cars used
on the elevated roads will probably be
adopted.
Nothing can be done Immediately"
said President Winter. If the open car
is taken of it will probably result in our
using the closed car with the windows taken
out This will make a cool and comfortable
car, readily adaptable to sudden changes
in temperature.

After . Day OF Pistol and Small
Gun Testing-A New Shell Cap Tried.
Big guns were booming at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds after dark last
night. Persons on passing vessels saw
what looked like balls Of fire darling over
the Sandy Hook peninsula.
Sometimes these brilliant projectiles
came sngly. sometimes in pairs and some
timos in hot pursuit Of one another. Men
who saw them from q distance described
them as resembling huge frehies moving
in rapid fight
No information as to these exhibitions
was given out by the army officers at Sandy
Hook. but it is understood that the flashes
were made by an illuminated shell, intended
for use at night. with which the artillerists
are experimenting.
At daylight yesterday the Army Board
OF Ordnance and Fortifcations went to
the Sandy Hook proving grounds and
fl Id guns and rapid-ire guns. Everything
went oil smoothly, and Lieut., Gen. Nelson

One OF the most interesting tests, all Of

volver. the German automatic pistol which
fires nine cartridges without reloading.
This frearm Us now in use by the German
army Is used to some extent by Holland
and Switzerland and Is being considered
by Russia, Gen. Miles was much pleased
with the test, which, he said, showed the
pistol to be very efficient weapon.
Another test was Of capped proiectile
fired from a e-inch gun against inclined

to cause the projectile, instead of glanoing
