HAPPY HOLYOKE

Holyoke, Massachusetts,, is rejoicing
in the municipal ownership of public
utilities. 1t is also rejoicing in an in
vestigatien Of the management of those
utilities. Alderman Ryan of the inyes-
tigating committee says: While I am
entirely satisfied that Manager Snow
of the lighting department is perfectly
honest, yet ! will say, without any
equivoeation, that the municipal light
ing department is being conducted in
an extFaEagant, money wasting and
unbusinesslike manner. At a discussion
in our committee meeting, many promi-
nent citizens, men of standing in the
community, testified that the gas was
poor and their bills nearly double those
of a year ago." Another matter
brought out was the heavy discount of
60 per cent. to users of electricity of
appears that the cost of running Hol-
yoke's municipal lighting plant has been
greatly increased, the small consumers
are paying more than ever for light
and the great consumers are getting off
cheaper than ever. Those who do not
use gas or electricity are helping to
pay the deficits created in the interests
of those who do.
Happy Holyoke. All that she needs
in addition to what she has is the militia
tive and referendum.

Commercial Agent Harris. at Eiben-
stock, thinks that much of the success
of Germany as a commercial nation is
due to the attention given there to in
dustrial and commercial education. In
fact, he says that Germany's greatest
capital is its intelligence. Instruction
IN business forms is given in the earli-
est school grades, and the same kind Of
education is continued right UP to the
big universities The result Is found in
the success which German nanufaetur-
ers have met wherever their agents
have gone. The commercial agent says
that It would be difficult to estimate
how many young Germans are now
managing English business houses. He
says that more attention is paid to the
general subject Of commercial education

other country. s- -..,z., .. e..s

A curious lawsuit regarding the own
ership Of lands was tried recently in
Ceylon. The trouble originated at an
archery competition held by King Par
akrania Babu VI, who ruled over Gey-
lon in the fifteenth century, in which
there We're two champions who outdis-
tanced all the rest and alike hit every
mark that was submitted to them. The
king was about tp, divide the prize when
from q neighboring pond a frog was
heard to croak, The king seized upon
a solution and declared that whichever
could hit the frog, aiming only by ear,
should gain the prize. One of the arch
ers translated the frog with the arrow.
So delighted was the monarch that, be-
sides the original prize, he gave to the
winner an estate Of $1,000 acres. The
present claimants in the lawsuit were
the descendants of the archer.

ment Against Mnchen.

Washington, June 1S.-An important
development in the postal investiga-
ton was expected Wednesday after
noon, but the utmost secrecy was OBJ
served at the department. 1t is be-
lieved that the affair concerns the
money order service of the depart
ment, in which many millions of dol
lars are handled annually. James T.
Metcalfe, the superintendent of this
service, was summoned Wednesday to
the private office of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, where
he was examined by Mr.. Bristow, In
spector Fosnes, the general superin-
tendent of the free delivery system of
the department and Mr.. Bristow's
chief assistant in the investiga ton,
Assistant Attorney General Robb and
others. 1t is known that the contro-
versy over the contract for the print
Ing of the money order paper was
thoroughly considered. The Wyn-
coop, Hallenbeck Crawford company
of New York, of which Norman Met
calfe, son of the head of the money
order bureau, is an employee, has had
the contract for many years, and Paul
Herman, of Rutherford, N. j., the low
est bidder, whom the bidders claim is
unable to fulfill the contract, is max
ing determined fight for the con-
tract, his bid being $4,000 less than
the others. Superintendent Metcalfe,
has urged that the lowest bidder is I'M
qualified to fill the contract, as he has
no plant. Immediately after the ex-
animation of Mr.. Metcalfe, Mr.. Bris-
tow and Mr.. Robb hurried to the Office
of Postmaster General Payne. where
with First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Wynne, who has supervision of
the money order service and who
granted the public hearing in the in
terest of the lowest bidder. the whole
subject was discussed and the laws
go~rning the subject were taken up.
Later Mr.. Payne went to the white
house and spent half an hour in con-
sultation with the president.
May Ask for Another Indictment.
1t is also believed that the grand
jury will shortly be asked by the post
office authorities to find another in
dictment against A. w. Machen, the
former superintendent of the free de-
livery system. The charge, it is said,
will be forgery, based upon the CASH
ing of check for 1869, drawn by the
cashier of the New York post office in
favor of Henry L. Lorenz, of Toledo,
o. 1t is claimed that the money was
to have been sent to Mr.. Lorenz in care
of Mr.. Machen. The check was cashed
in this city, being Endorsed by Frank
K. Raymond, who says he had the
check cashed from Mr.. Machen. Mr..
Lorenz has declared that the sigma
lures both on the check and voucher
accompanying it are forgeries. He de-
clares that he has not received cent
of the money and has no knowledge of
the transaction.
