coffee freely and did not realize that Il was
iniuring my health till J was suddenly
made the victim Of nervous headaches 20

household activities and stay IN bed mucn

and the wretchedness of sleepless nights
was added 20 the agony of painful days.
This lasted till year ago, when was

entirely and use Postum Food Coffee. The
result Was; in less than a week / began 10

Every Evening yesterday, Chief Engi-
neer LeiSen of the Water Department
has forwarded some interesting stats.
tics, complied from the records Of the
department.
According to Mr.. Leisen's report,
meters we're introduced in Milminaton
about 1891, when the city had populH-
tiou Of about co. 200. 10 that year the
average consumption Of water was
8, 400, 600 gallons per day, the per cap.
ita rate being in the ueighborhood
Of 100 gallons. In 1897, six years after
the introduction Of tha meter, with a
population Of 20, 00O, the average daily
consumption was only abont @, eco, 200
gallons, OF per capital rate Of IS gall
Ions, which showed very material
reduction.
since that time, however, tbs con
sumption Of water has been very
largely increased by the growth OF the
manufacturing industry, and as a re-
suit the per cauita rate of ccnsumli D.
tion Is between 80 and 93 gallons.
: About $500 meters areEnow in use in
Wilmington. which is considered a
large number, in view Of the fact that
the IA, COO buildings in the city having
water connections, between 5000 and
5000 are dwellings IN which the
annual rate, under the fiat schedule,
IS less than $40 year, which is the
minimum annual rate for meter
service.

incorporators are Morris Beck, Ed
ward G. Russell, Louis B. Niemeyer,
Frank A. Lef1z and John J. Nier-
ling, all of this city. The corpora
tion is capitalized at $4,000
The prospective railway will run
from jamestown northeast, touching
Spiritwood Lake and continuing to
Courtenay or Wimbledon, or perhaps
both. The line will be built With
heavy bed and rails and will carry all
kinds Of freight, such as wheat pro-
duce, etc; have passenger service
and baggage. The track will be of
standard width for switching cars to
and from the steam line. AS con-
venience to lake resorters the electric
railway will prove Invaluable, and
Spiritwood lake will undoubtedly be-
come more popular than ever before.
The farmers within hauling distance
of the line will, however be benefit
ted the most. Work on the new line
will be begun very soon, possibly in
time to carry passengers to the lake
this season. aE5

nelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Repub.
lican national committee in 1904, in
which it is charged that Mr. Perkins
received the money from the insur-
ance company and paid it over to Mr..
Bliss. Immediately after his arrest
MI. Perkins, through his counsel,
Lewis A. Delafeld, secured writ of
habeas corpus from Justice Green
baum of the supreme court by which
Mr.. Perkins was released from Gus
tody and the case was taken direct to
the supreme court. Argument on this
writ was adjourned until Friday.
Went Direct to Supreme Court.
Mr.. Perkins was taken into custody
while in the Office of his attorney by
detective from the Office of District
Attorney Jerome. He did not appear
before Police Magistrate Moss, who
had issued the warrant, but went d.
rectly before Justice Greenbaum.
There the district attorney recited
the legal steps that had been taken.
but he did not go into the charges
against Mr.. Perkins. Mr.. Delafeld,
however, declared that the offense
charged against Mr.. Perkins was pure
ly technical and asked for a postpone
ment of the case. He described the
payment of the $48,7O2 by Mr.! Per-
kins to Mr.. Bliss in 1904 and said that
the payment had been authorized by
John A. Mccall, the former president
Of the New York Life Insurance com
pany H..
The arrest of Mr.. Perkins and the
subsequent issuance of the writ of
habeas corpus will have the effect of
having the highest courts Of the state
pass upon the legality of campaign
contributions by insurance COM
panies Much attention was directed
to this matter at the recent legislative
insurance investigation and it was
shown that several OF the larger COM
panies on more than one occasion had
contributed to such funds.
In his petition Mr.. Perkins de-
clared that his Imprisonment and
restraint are illegal and that the war
rant was void in that no evidence of
any crime or any act justifying his
arrest had been submitted to Mag
.istrate Moss and that the magistrate
was without Jurisdiction to issue any
warrant. y&& q.

gives.
