MUNICIPAL lighting.
From Newark Newsl.

The voters Of Paterson. Elizabeth, Cam
den and Woodbury., by overwhelming ma
ioritles, decided at recent election in
favor Of municipal ownership and opera
tion Of electric lighting plants. Paterson,
at the same time, went on record for city
owned water plant. The vote for the
lighting plant in the four cities was signi-
ficantlof the public feeling on the subject.
In Paterson the vote was 8, 140 for to ,776
against; in Elizabeth, 3,042 for to 1,182
against; in Camden, A, 452 for to 1,012
against, and in Woodbury. the majority
s'for" was overwhelming. The Large num-
ber of votes against in Camden was par
TALLY accounted for by the fact that the
employees of the Public Service circulated
throughout the city sjokern ballots, with
the word 'sfor'' marked of so lightly that
many of the voters failed TO notice the
mutilation. In the face OF this underhand
work the proposition was carried By over
400 majority.
These are the answers made by the voters
to the announcement issued by the Public
Service on October % lass With she purpose
of influencing the election. The directors
of the corporation were very frank in ad-
mitting the purpose Of their action. In
their advertisement they said that this
announcement is made at this time because
the voters of certain cities are TO decide at
the forthcoming election whether they will
authorize their respective municipal officers
to construct municipal electric station for
both public and commercial nse, and two
other cities are considering the erection Of
an electric plant for public lighting. In
| view of the foregoing it is believed that
any such action will be altogether uudesir-
1 able y 1t must be taken for granted,
therefore, that the voters arrived at an en-
tirely different conclusion from that i'm
tended by the Public Service officials. This
decision may be accounted for on the SUPP
position chat the voters felt they had been
deceived By promises in the past, and they
did not propose to accept anything but per
formances from the corporation.
The ratification Of the Jones act by the
voters of these four cities does not compel
the adoption Of municipal ownership Of
lighting plants It sin'nly authorizes the
lsgoverning bodies TO GO -ad vi the work
and expend the money scessary. But the
people, having expressed their wishes, will
not be apt 20 keep quiet IN case the govern
ing body Of any of these four cities refuses
to heed the verdict of the voters, as-regis-
teEed so emphatically at the polls

Defends Jews.

''It is ignorance and race prejudice that lead immigration restrctonists to classify Jewish immigrants among the undesirable" declared Chicago banker of the race. "There is no such thing as a grave Jewish problem in this country. Statistics show that the accession of hundreds of thousands of ignorant and Russian Jews by im- migration in recent years has not bur dened the rich Jews. On the contrary, it has helped to make them and the country as well richer and more pros- porous. AS to the differences between the liberal Americanized Jews and the newly arrived orthodox Jews there is nothing to be exercised over. For brethren to quarrel occasionally is but natural. But no matter how bitter the attack of the orthodox Jew on the liberalized Jew, the tenets of strict orthodox Judaism command that all differences between Jew and Jew must be forgiven and forgotten on the eve of Atonement day. No scene can be more impressive than that in Jewish homes and in orthodox syna- gogues on the eve of Kol Nidre, when those who have happened to quarrel during the year tearfully extend the hands to one another, earnestly pray ing forgiveness"

The neighbors have even ex- pressed curiosity about the mysterious man who comes to my house ill the wee sma' hours with such haunting regularity.

IT 10 A REMARKABLE BOAT.

 Six Inches of Water.
 There is on Lake Blntin, in this county, one of the most peculiar boats in the country. It will not do to call 1t sailboat, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press, for, although it is driven by the wind, it has no sails The term stern-wheeler is somewhat misnomer, for that name indicates something by steam, or gasoline, neither of which this strange boat uses.
 The machinery consists of a wind mill, set up in the center of the boat, the wheel of the mill being connected with the shaft on which the wheel that drives the boat is hung at the stern. and when the wind blows and drives the windmill around the windmill turns the paddle wheel at. the back of the boat and she moves forward through the water.
 The boat is made with a flat bottom and is quite wide, so that it draws only few inches of water and inas- much as there is no propeller to be- come tangled in weeds beneath the surface, the boat can sail over the water anywhere where it is six inches deep, and is therefore in great demand when the season for gathering water lilies arrives.
 The windmill is so adjusted that the power it gives to turn the paddle wheel is far in excess of the resistance the boat offers to the pressure of the air upon it, and the boat therefore moves easily forward, directly against the wind, although driven by the pow CT of the wind alone.
 This makes it very convenient to use, for although it is in reality, a sail boat, there is never any danger of its getting caught against a lee shore and being unable to get away. All the helmsman has to do is to turn the brow directly into the wind and con- meet the power, and away she goes, skipping over the water as lightly as a bird upon the wing.
 Theodore Pettman, of Wheatley, is the maker and owner of the boat, and he has had so many orders for dupli- cation of it that he is liable to go into the manufacture of others like it.

Had Poll Tax.

Two North Side boys, who recently raised flag pole in the back yard of one of them, were heard discussing what the policeman would probably say about it when he came along. It was q pretty large pole for small boys to handle, and they were themselves conscious of the fact that it was not very securely planted. More than that, it had lean out of the perpendicu- lar, which threatened, in case of it's fall, complete demolition of the light iron fence that surrounded the yard. Do you suppose we need a license like they do for buldings?" asked one of the lads. II don't know for sure," said the other, but I think we're all right, for my papa has poll tax; heard him say so."-Chicago Inter- Ocean.

Rafment His Only Capital.

The clothing of a sailor is practically his complete outfit for work, and with out this he is unable to join his vessel properly equipped for duty.
 Because of this fact Congress pass ed law providing a penalty for re- fusing to give up the clothes of a sea- man whenever he demands them. This law was not as effective as it should have been, and a new law has been passed recently which provides that a person who shall keep any seaman's clothing when demanded, shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and shall be imprisoned not more than six months or fined not more than $500, or both.
 A seaman, not deserter, in any part of the United States has right to de- mand his clothes at any time, and if he does not receive them he can call upon any United States district attor- ney, who will secure them for him and inflict penalty upon the person de- taining them.
