START PETITION
TO BUILD SEWER
IN SMITH STREET.
Chamber of Commerce at Special Meeting Takes up Subject of Po
Ing Smith Street and Determined Get Work Sturtedon the
Sever as Soon POseLaw Provides that Repairing Must
be Done at chy's Expense EntireIy

Steps were taken at the special
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
last night to get Smith street in con-
dition for paving. W. A. Belcher,
manager of the Central Electric Com
pany. will circulate petition request
ing the CITY to build sewer In Smith
street with the understanding that
the pavement will be laid shortly
afterward.
1t was reported at the meeting that
the aldermen held that macadam was
pavement and if the street was re-
paved it would have to be done at the
expense of the entire city. Mr.. Bel
cher stated that from what he could
learn in consultation with some of
the property owners along Smith
street between State street and the
Central railroad, that they were will
ing to stand an assessment for either
a sewer or pavement, but they would
object to having to pay an assessment
on both. 1t was thought that as soon
as the property owners learned that
the cost of the pavement would be
borne by the entire city they would
readily consent to the sewer. w. A.
Belcher, as manager for the Central
Electric Company, one of the property
owners, will start at once with the
petition for the sewer and it will be
handed to the aldermen as soon as
possible.
The petition will be for a sewer
from State street to the Central rail-
road, but it is understood the sewer
west of the railroad is entirely made
quate if the property owners in that
section will sign the petitnar> as ssss-
as those east of State street the alder
men will be asked to sewer the entire
street.
At the present time the property
owners along Smith street are forced
to build private sewers to make con-
nection with public sewers in other
streets and the sewer in Smith street
between State street and the sound is
entirely Inadequate for water backs
up in cellars during every heavy rain.
The law under which Smith street
can be paved at the city's expense
that after property owner has once
been assessed for the paving of the
street, no matter what is done in the
line of repairs or repairing of that
same thoroughfare, the property own
er cannot be assessed again. It is
under this act that New Brunswick is
tearing up so many cobble stones and
repaving her streets with brick or
asphalt 1t is within the power of
the aldermen to pave the street at any
time, but they refuse until the sewer
is built, not wanting the pavement
torn up again to do this work. It is
probable that the aldermen will be
requested to repave the street with
asphalt.

One of the Best Games Of the
Season on Smith Street Dia-
mOnd Yesterday Afternoon.
PITCHING A FEATURE

the Lineup

The Marions went down to defeat
before the victorious Change A. @.
Yesterday afternoon with score of 8
to 2. 1t was, perhaps, the best game
seen here this year and big crowd
was on hand.
During the entire nine innings the
match was abounding in phenomenal
catches, good stops and rapid dre
plays In the field both teams played
excellent ball but at the bat the Mar
ions ought to have done better.
Lindeman is winner. He is ex-
celled by very few who have been
seen here, and he certainly pitched a
nice game yesterday. Bert Deegan is
crackerjack too. While he received
fine support, much of the credit for
the victory must be accorded to him
for his splendid control, sterling head
work and the general good game ne
put up. The Orange team as a whole
deserve whole lot of praise for the
fine exhibition they gave of ball
playing. Hutchings catches were a
great feature as was the work of
Boutillier on second base. Mcdonald
at the initial bag played nice game,
but he kicked on every pretense.
Cusick' homer was feature of the
contest. 1t was clean lift over the

ROLL CALL
THEN SANG
DOXOLOCY.

The doxology, Praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow" was sung
in the Baptist chapel last night in a
manner it has seldom been sung before
in that place. 1t was the fifth roll
call by which means the cost of re-
pairing the church is being paid. A
note was due amounting TO $125 and
when the roll was finished last night
$110 In cash lay on the table and
enough pledged to make the amount
about $135. The Baptists felt en-
couIaged and they gave vent to their
feelings in a manner that expressed
their thanksgiving.
A special effort was made to have
the roll call particularly interesting
last night. Pastor Ferris worked
hard for two days and, in spite of the
warm weather, the congregation re-
sponded literally. Many interesting
stories were told of how the dollar
was earned. One man charged his
wife five cents for every spot on the
table cloth. Another person sold four
suits of old clothes for dollar. One
of the young members spent her vaca-
tion days making pin cushions and
sold them. So the stories went, and
with each the enthusiasm increased.
A social hour followed and it was
then that the members broke forth in
praise. The finances of the church
are in excellent condition and there
is steady growth in mem bership.

Ants on Horse back,

A French traveller has discovered a
new species of ant in Siam, or at
least a new trait he has never before
seen recorded. The creatures were
small, of gray color and lived in
damp places. They travelled often and
in troops which seemed TO be under
the direction OF a commander who rode
"on horseback" NJ. Nelson, the
Fr2nchman who noticed this peculiar
ity, was attracted to these groups by
discovering that each company CON
tanned a large ant that Travelled more
rapidly than the others. Observing
them more closely, he noticed that
each large ant always carried a small
gray ant upon its back, though the re,
mainder of the troop were on foot
This mounted ant would ride out from
the line, travel swiftly among the cor
umn from head to rear. and apparently
overlook their maneuvers. NJ. Miea-
sen concluded from what he saw that
this species Of ant, while on it's trap-
els, is under the direction of a com
mander, though such ant horses" as
the general rides must be rare and val
liable. for he scarcely ever found more
than one mounted ant in a colony

Bellflower, Mo, July 6th.--Mr. G. V.

open letter to the old men and wom-

Cant do that" ruled the court.
"Well take the states testimony to-
day and you can put your witnesses on
tomorrow"
But don't want to do that"
well, you'll have TO do it."
"Bet you dollar you don't take the
states testimony" said the lawyer.
Guess we will if say So"
as the bet still good?"
Eyes, I'll take It."
And the money was put up.
"The witnesses for the state IN the

essary than ever.
Our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks OF terrible

and that If it had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts

day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was great
change in the condition OF his bowels

that Grape-Nuts saved his life, for he
