ONE OF THE UTTERMosT.
Even Commercial Travellers Were
Not Beyond the Reach of
Saving Grace.

Dan DAILY, the actor, who died recently,
whenever he was idle IN New York had a
great habit of attending Salvation Army
meetings He believed in the Salvation
Army, and he contributed literally TO its
support. Sometimes, too, he had inter
esting things to tell about it, says the New
York Tribune.
One evening, rather late, DAILY and a
commercial traveller entered the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel together. DAILY, with nod to-
ward his companion, said:
My friend and l were at meeting of
the army tonight. The captain, after HIS
address, passed through the audience,
questioning the people. Coming to my
friend, he said:
=" What is your business, sir?'
g i am a commercial traveller, was the
answer.
And are you saved?'
:" oh. I'm all right
AT this reply the captain, turning to
the congregation, shouted in loud voice:
g 'Hallelujah A commercial traveller
saved. God can save to the uttermost!' "

MOTOR A REcoRD-BREAKER
New York Inventor Has One Which,
He Claims, Will Go 432
Miles an Hour.

A mile and three-tenths in Is sec
onds is the speed promised by Prof.
Albert G. Albertson, president of the
Electro Magnetic Railway Construc-
ton company, of New York city. BY
July 1 he expects to have in operation
in Staten island a railroad equipped
with his new magnetic motor. He has
figured it all out with a model.
According to Prof. Albertson's time
schedule, this train will travel at a
rate of about 432 miles an hour, which
Is approximately five times as fast as
the swiftest express in the United
States. He says he himself does not
yet know the exact maximum of speed
that his invention can attain to, but is
convinced that it can haul a train
along a straight track at more than
400 miles an hour.
The rails of the Staten island road
rest on a steel framework eight feet
above the ground. The object of this
is to give the train what the inventor
regards as absolute immunity from
wreck. The wheels are to run on rails,
and then to make sure that they can
not jump the track magnets will be
run along under the rails. No matter
how high is the rate of speed reached,
Prof, Albertson says, this mode OF
construction will effectually prevent
the train from leaving the track
THE principle of the invention is
so simply that even q 1ayman may
readily understand it," said the inven-
tor. Il have given seven years to it's
study and perfection"

other necessary data, he asked the patient

MAY CLOSE DIETRICA'S BANK

his trial on the charge OF bribery Is un-

as he no longer needs them This means

Senator Dietrich. through his attorney,

The case was fully and ably argued be-
fore five Justices OF the supreme court
and Rathbone Gardner. counsel for Dr.
Eorbett. filed an exhaustive brief, IN
which he showed that II DR.. Corbett had
no remedy IL was possible for any cleo
tion officer serving as moderator In
town TO utterly frustrate the desires or
the voters.
The opinion OF the five justices is given
s'per curiam." After reciting the names
OF parties and the nature OF the applica-
ton the court declares that the consu-
tutional provision making each house OF
the general assembly the judge OF the
election and qualification of it's members
is equivalent to saying that each house
Is the sole Judge thereof. Next refer
ence Is made TO the fact that the mod
intention OF the voter casting the ballot
referred TO was and 10 the provision re-
curing ballots TO be sealed up and held
for the assembly.
The opinion then continues. "The duty
of determining the voters choice In the
0rst instance, evidently is imposed upon
the moderator. whose duty IL is TO count
the ballots. and the question whether IL
Is possible or impossible for him TO de-
termIne the choice of the voter is one
which he alone can answer. He has
answered that IL was impossible for him
20 so determine and therefore the ballot
was not counted for such office The
court is asked TO order that the package
containing the ballots be opened and the
Dailot taken out TOT eAamlnauOn ana AZ
ter examination to determine for the
moderator the voters choice and to
command him TO count II only as a legal
ballot for the petitioner.
''In April. 1897. we decided In miscel-
laneous petition. No. 2426, Samuel M
Knowles, petitioner. that the ballots
counted having been sealed up and de-
1ivered to the town clerk. they are now
beyond the control OF the moderator and
subject only TO the action OF the general
assembly.
Afterwards. January session. 1901. the
following public laws were passed:
Cap. s25, creating a state returning
board and defining It's duties: Cap. S2s
relating TO the election OF senator's and
representatives in the general assembly
and Cap 500. prescribing the manner OF
conducting elections Under their pro-
visions the ballots, including the one In
dispute. have been delivered TO and are
held by said state returning board, sub
5ect TO the order of either house OF the
general assembly.
Under these circumstances we are of
opinion that the petition should be de-
MED.

..The ballot has been counted In the

moderator and its value as ballot has
been weighed and determined by him. His
judgment has been exercised In the mat
ter and all that could be accomplished by

provisions are declaratory of the common
law and confer. no new pow

provisions OF sections and z OF said
chapter merely enable the substitute so
appointed to perform his duties as fully
as the person originally qualified could
have done. These three sections provide
for the doing OF that which remains un-
done ana do not contemplate the render
ing OF anything that has been done.
I'VE find therefore that nothing re-
mains to be done upon which a writ of
