In INTEREST OF
ELECTRIC LIHGHTS
J. W. Clark Of Milford Locks Over
the Ground.
IS PLEASED WITH THE OUTLOOK.
Lang Franchise Requires Little Al
iteration Which Council has
Promised to Make.

Mr.. j. w. Clark of Milford, pro-
prietor aud manager of the Milford
Electric Light plant, met with the
city council last Monday night to
confer with them on the practical
bility of installing electric lights in
our city. In the matter of the fran
chise the gentleman was satisfied with
the provisions of the franchise granted
to Charles Lang some months since,
excepting that he wants the selling
out to the city provision extended
from five year limit to eight years,
change which the council promised
to make.
The price of lights will depend
some OH the extent of the patronage
which the business receives, but for
a single light of the ordinary
strength the price will not exceed
rs cents each per month.
Mr.. Clark spent part of the day
Tuesday looking over the city and
incidently interviewing some of our
citizens on the subject of patronage,
and in the evening expressed him
self as we'll pleased with the GU. look,
and announced his intention of bring
ing his partner down soon to look
farther into the situation before decid
ing definitely what his course will be.
The question of what power to use,
whether steam or water will be one
of the first things to decide, and oil
this subject Mr. Clark was not settled
when he left. although he is reported
to incline toward the use of wate
power If it can be made available. i
Is probable that decision will b'
reached in short time, and worl
will be commenced very soon there
after. Mr. Clark has the appearance
of a man who knows, what he Is doing
and II he says he will establish Ugh
plant or light and power plant, h
will do SO. II the prospects her
under present conditions appear a
all encouraging it may be taken 70
granted that under ordinary con
ditions our city will furnish fin
field for the lighting enterprise, a
times are abnormally dull and de
pressing here at present.

One of the pleasantest informal
social events that has taken place in
social circles in this city for some
time was the surprise party that a
number of the married ladies gave
Mrs. Henry Mcconnell last Tuesday
afternoon. The event was intended
to commemorate the lady's birthday,
but in order to thoroughly surprise
her it was deemed necessary to anti
cipate the actual date of the ami
versary lest she should be too much
on her guard to make the surprise a
success, as she is rather noted for her
watchfulness. The plan worked to
charm. Mrs. Mcconnell was in
vited to visit one of her friends while
the company, consisting of from
twenty FIVE to thirty of her lady
friends and relatives gathered at her
residence. When everything was
ready a message was sent to the vic
tim informing her that two of her
friends had called to see her, and as
she had invited them several times TO
pay her visit she felt 1t necessary
to excuse herself to her neighbors
whom she was visiting, and hastened
home to entertain her company. When
she entered her large parlor and found
it nearly full of company, including
the two whom she had been told we're
there, she was compelled to admit
that for once she had been thoroughly
surprised. The afternoon was passed
very pleasantly and when supper time
arrived the guests provided themselves
and their hostess with an excellent
supper, which was partaken of witt
relish and enlivened by an excellent
flow of spirits. not the kind that are
bought from the saloon keeper, mo-
yet the sort that makes people II
treat their friends and consort will
their enemies. All present wer
agreed in calling it every succesfu
party.

Commencement, 1905, has come
and gone and another class Of six
teen graduates have bid their old
high school associations their last
farewell and stepped out into the
world to hustle for themselves or
better prepare themselves for the
battle of life with higher edu-
cation. The class of 1905 was an
exceptional one-its members num-
bered those who have through their
entire school life been noted for
their strict attention to study and
the splendid performance of that
duty. They are class of noble
young men and women, and in con-
graduating them upon their success
we desire to extend our best wishes
for their future happiness and hope
that each member of the class will
meet with success and prosperity.

NOVELIST HITS THE PRESS
Henry james Says the Newspapers r
"Nothing More Than Black Erup-
lions Of Type"

Philadelphia, June g.. Henry
James, the novelist, was the guest of
honor and orator at the commence
ment exercises at Bryn Mawr college.
He was given a warm reception by
the young lady graduates. James chose
for his subject: 'The Question Of Our
Speech" His address was a plea for
tidy speaking and cultivation of per-
feet tone.
THE newspapers and common
schools" he said, "are influences which
keep our speech crude, untidy and care
less" The newspapers, he said, "are
nothing more than black eruptions of
type; and they roar like monsters; like
maniacs breaking loose"

Copenhagen, June Cit is reported
that the Norwegian government, in
view Of King Oscars apparently def
mite refusal to consider the ofrer Of
the storthtng to place a prince OF the
house Of Bernadotte ON the throne, has
privately approached the Danish royal
family to ascertain If an offer Of the
throne would be received by a men,
bers Of it, preferably Prince Charles,
son Of Crown Prince Frederick. The
general opinion expressed here Is that
such an offer would be refused. Ac-
cording to reports from Stockholm,
King Oscar may be induced to reverse
his decision. and to favorably regard
the offer Of the throne for a, member
Of his house.
Norway May Be . nspulic.
Leading Swedish politicians are
much divided over the question,
which, It Is understood, will, not be
definitely decided prior to the extraor-
binary session Of the ftksdag. Aufhori-
tative information received from Nor
wegtan circles represents the majority
OF Noregians as opposed to giving the
throne to a prince Of the house Of
Bsrnadotte. It is stated that II King
Oscar should definitely refuse the
throne for member Of his family,
and that Il the Danish royal family
should likewise refuse to place one OF
Its princes on It. Norway will be-
come republic, and that this is ia
vored by the mass of the population.

to hand to King Oscar the letter an
nouncing the decision of the Norwe-
gian government. He says that the
king opened the letter and read the
first few lines. He then appeared to
be deeply moved and asked his secre-
tary to read it aloud. At the conclu-
sion of the reading his majesty vent
ed his feelings in unrestrained terms
but soon became calmer and spoke
amiably to the Norwegian gentlemen
present, assuring them of his increas-
ing affection for Norway and the Nor
wegian people.
