Total outlay for 10 years past. $4,000. W
Now of what permanent benefit has
this outlay Of $4,000. 90, during the
past ten years been to our City and
right here is the gist Of my conten-
tion, why continue such a short sight
cd policy, why not break away from
such antiquated methods, and adopt
more modern ideas. OF what real value
has the shells been to Main street,
has same not been . perfect mush
during the past wet spell and will not
these conditions continue and never
ending outlay prevail under the old
methods.
Referring back to the estimated
expenditures for the past ten years,
should any Of our streets be paved,
would there be any bitches to be dug
out, grass to be cut cut down, wooden
cutters or bridges to be renewed on
such paved streets and would not that
Of itself beget q considerable yearly
savings that could be applied to other
improvements.
l am Of the opinion that Q paving
tax at this time would be inopportune
and would not favor same, but con-
tend that our City Council could in
vest money more profitably on perma-
nent paving, than make shift shelling
and that it is not too late, or the
treasury too poor to make . start.
Anent your remarks, "What is
most needed is enterprises that will
bring business to our town, mills,
factories, men with capital > otc.
Men Of capital are just a. susceptible
~ other mortals: people - rule are
influenced by what they see. hear or
read or by their surroundings. and if
this town wants to make . bid for
new enterprises, It will have to be in
the shape Of ready cash or appear
ances. Appearances under any and
all circumstances is the loadstone.
A rich New Yorker, who owns
farm outside Of New York City. in
vited . friend for few days stay on
his farm, the morning after their ar
rival as they set down to breakfast
the host enquired Of his friend, "Will
you have milk or champagne, in
answer to the astonished query Of his
guest, the host replied, You can
have either, one costs me as much rs
the other,' but the champagne causes
me less worry.
Here is the parallel, all these years
We were having milk, when We could
have had champagne with less worry.

THE STREET QUESTION.

Editor Enterprise:
Am glad you found my article in
the last issue of your paper OF suffi-
cient importance as to warrant COM
ments on same.
While we seem to agree on essential
points, you apparently seem to feel
that paving is out Of the question, on
account of lack of funds to warrant
the outlay.
MY communication was inspired by
q previous article in your paper, stat
ing that steps were being taken to
purchase oyster shells to shell Main,
st. Peters and intersecting streets.
I contend; why buy these shells,
why waste money in this way, why
not invest this contemplated purchase,
in something more permanent, ii
there is only sufficient funds to pave
only three or four blocks, then pave
only three or four block, make a
start and continue from year to year.
For the sake of argument, let US
revert back ten years and see what
has been spent on our streets without
any good results.

GROWTH OF SURGERY.

Tn it's Military Character of Modern
 Origin--Some Surgical Feats.
 When the official report of the army surgeon who was detailed by the war department to make observations on the Manchurian battlefields, so far as the medical, hospital and ambulance services were concerned, shall be pub lished, it will show that many almost miraculous cures of battle maimed fighting men have been effected within surprisingly short times. This part of the report is supported almost every day by press reports from the front, which indicate the daily return to the firing and fighting line of wounded vet erans discharged from the field hospi- tals as cursd and fit to again render active service.
 Military surgery, as distinguished from surgery in general, is of modern origin. The Greeks had no military surgeons their warriors were their own doctors. Thus Podalirius and Ma chaon, sons of Aesculap1us. in the Tro- jan war, united the soldiers with the surgeons art, and to show the estima- ton in which the latter was held Ho- mer makes Idomeneus exclaim---

Three Men Attempt Game on Circus
 Car but Are Interrupted by Detective
 Daley.
 Giving the name of John Gerod and whom the police say is undoubtedly an expert New York pickpocket, was ar rested yesterday afternoon on a trolley car which was coming into the center of the city from the circus by Detective Daley. The man is about forty years old and was in the company of two other men. The three men were con tinually pumping into people. After watching them for some time Detective Daley started towards them. As he did so two of the men jumped off the car while the third one was placed under arrest and charged with idleness.
 Gerod had newspaper iIls his pocket and this and railroad ticket from Providence to New York showed that he had only arrived here yesterday morning. He told Captain Cowles a story last night about looking for work and seemed exceedingly anxious to get out of town. He is being held on a charge of idleness It is not at pres ent known whether the men stole any thing or not, but Gerod had nothing of any value on his person when searched except the railroad ticket.

YALE SEES THE CIRCUS.

Yale freshmen attended the circus
 in a body at the evening performance. Headed by a bass drum they paraded the arena and helped to enliven the proceedings prior to the beginning of the performance. They occupied sec- tion at the extreme end of the large tent and sandwiched in between the acts college songs and college cheers, all of which seemed to be greatly en- joyed by the large audience. The va- rious artists as they finished their clever stunts were hailed with the famous "'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah!" etc,

COLBY HITS LEGISLATURE.

Assemblyman Everett Colby, of Newark,
one of the leading Republicans of the As
sembly was speaker at the dinner served
last Thursday night by the Citizens Union
of East Orange Mr.. Colhy's speech was
notable for its assertion that the corpor-
ations have firm grasp on the legislature
Some of the assemblyman's remarks
follow:
st is well known that the corporations
have grip on legislation which is perfectly
inexcusable and that this tendency is dang
erous to degree there can be no doubt
tending, as is does, to undermine popular
government.
Il believe the psychological moment is
at hand when we must force the issue. and
dem4nd reason and self-control from the
interests that refuse to meet on common
ground for adjustment In the course of
the slast few weeks have felt the temper
Of the people representing various sections
of our state and find them already wait
ing on the neutral ground, patiently antic-
ipating the approach of the other party
THE relation between the people and
the corporations is a problem we must solve.
We must solve it at once and the answer
must be correct or we shall pay the penalty
Of injustice and CONFUSION to the end Of
time. believe the remedy can be found
in the demand and insistence on the part
of the people for the Independence of the
legislature from corporate dictation and
control y

Threw Her Into Stable Pit.
Philadelphia, March 1.-Two men
who have been under arrest for three
weeks on charges of robbery confessed
to the murder OF Miss Clara McGon-
nell, cripple, whose body was found
on February 13 in refuse pit in the
stable yard of the Union Transfer
company. One Of the men is Harry
Norris, who was arrested at the Penn
sylvania railroad station charged with
stealing overcoats. The police decline
at present to make public the name OF
the second prisoner, as they expect
to connect him with another crime
which they are now Investigating.
According to Superintendent of Po-
lice Taylor, the men met Miss Nc
Council on the street while she was
intoxicated. They furnished her with
drinks from a flask and inveigled her
into side street after learning that
she had $11 in her stocking. Being
unable to secure the money in any
other way, they attacked her and beat
her into insensibility and then took
the money. Believing they had killed
the woman, they carried her to the
stable and threw her into the pit.
Whether she died from the effects of
their blows or was smothered in the
refuse pit will be determined by the
.coroner's inquest

death and Mrs. Sadie Chatham, aged 80
years, her daughter, was fatally injur-
ed by the younger womans husband,

drug store, her body lying a few feet
away from the unconscious form of her
daughter
Mrs. Chatham recovered conscious
ness at the hospital and in answer to
questions said: John did it"
The baby's head was grazed by a
bullet and one of its ears was badly
lacerated, but the little one was not
seriously hurt. The weapon used by
Chatham upon his wife and mother-in-
law was hammer. The tragedy was
discovered by Emanuel Eliason, a boy,
who went to the store to make a pur-
chase Finding the place apparently
vacant he peased behind the prescrip-
ton counter and saw the druggist ly-
ing in pool of blood He ran from
