 The Consolidated Electric railway has finished repainting and repairing dozen of the big open cars used for summer service, and yesterday the electrics were transported to the West Haven barns, where they will be stored until ready for use.
 The store of Scobie & Farrar, at 90 Brewery street, was entered Monday night but nothing is missed by the owners The office of the All Rail Coal company at the west end of Eddy street, near West river, was ransacked and ahnllt~$S stolen Monday night.
 The local police stated yesterday morning that as yet they have seen no signs of James Willis Upson, the we'll known Cheshire New Haven express man, who recently mysteriously disap- peared from his home. MT. Upsons many friends are becoming much worried at his continuous absence.
 The Spring Lake Ice company cut 14O blocks of ice on Monday from the Spring lake. The blocks were doubled and were being peddled yesterday. They weigh from 135 to 140 pounds The ice companies generally do not cut Ice until 1t is from six to eight inches deep. There will probably be a good crop this season.

munity-these people are sort of re- ligious sect who have seeded from the old Copper Church. For some years they have lived sad and sol emn life on the banks or the Vaal. Numbering about six hundred, they form quite a little republic

The Predikants of the latter are such highly favored and well paid persons that 1t would ill please them to exchange their life of luxury for the social democracy and severe stoi- cism of the Swanepoels.
 The Gemeente may be termed a sect between the Plymouth Brethren and the Doukhobors. Their worship is chiefly in silence.

Owing to the prolonged era of depression on the Rand many prospectors have rushed off to the diamond diggings of the Vaal River.
 Camping near the Swanepoels, these men have probably expatiated on the deplorabe condition of affairs 1T Johannesburg. The outcome of thl' knowledge has convinced the leader Roos, that the Holy Ghost has for saken the Transvaal Thus he preach ed to his flock: Johannesburg is ever as a City of the Plain, the fate of So dom and Gomorrah awaits it; that de struetion will prevail over radius oi a hundred miles. Therefore must sim pie pious souls flee from the wrath tc come" The community has long waited, and now all are agreed tha' the Spirit has moved them.
 But the Spirit did not move in very practical manner, for it was in cumbent on the leaders to invoke th' aid of railway officials. The latter re ouired no less than e1,000 for the un dertaking. To spend this giganti' sum, even in escaping destrQetion was sin to the thrifty Swanepoels Therefore, as the sons of Israel goint down to Egypt, the six hundred se out in carts and wagons, on foot anC on horse, taking all their possessions on trek verging on a thousand mile' to the land of promise they have SC lected in the Roberton district of Cap Colony.

LAMENT OF A CAPITALIST.

A Boston Man Tells of Some Things
 That Make Him Weary.
 A Boston merchant says: T don't want to join the army of unrest, but I am getting little weary. Former ly my family could invest $1OO,OOO of grandfather's accumulations, won up- on the land or the sea, and get per cent. and the investment was re- spected in the community. To-day, our family property, that was former ly in manufacturing or in shipping or in railroads or banking or mills, is being rapidly put into trust form by the necessities of competition and the lowering margin of profit in all trade and manufacturing operations. I now find my family property ground be- tween several mill stones. First, the bank president and the mill treasurer say they will be happy to have a larger surplus, and l think they will feel little more secure in their posi- ton. Therefore, my family gets low dividends. the officials get good sal aries, and grandfathers surplus rises for grandfather's greatgrandchildr after me, But I and my family who have to live in the present are ground by this millstone of accumulating a

GAMBLING AND GOVERNMENT

GAMBLING AND GOVERNMENT.
 The relation of gambling to govern ment is now shaking the politicians of New York and Jersey City, The diff ference in the methods of brochure on the opposite bangs of the Hudson is interesting and instructive. In New York District Attorney Jerome has taken to the Grand Jury evidence to show that a conspiracy exists inside the Police Department to protect the gambling houses from prosecution. The conspiracy has gone so far that on the lists of suspected" gambling houses and poolrooms, which each po- lice captain keeps, false names are entered as the owners of the places, The result of this is that when the District Attorney sent out subpenas for these men they could not be found. The owners of the buildings were found. Some of them testified that when the police notified them that their premises were being used for illegal purposes they got out disposs-

cHEsE 25 YEARS OLD.

Better Now Than the Day It was Made.
 Twenty-Five years ago last week Mrs. George Bushnell of Lakeville made a cheese and put it carefully away until 1t could ripen for future use. The years rolled by and still the cheese re- mained untouched until last week Mir Bushnell proposed cutting it. This was done and it was found to be the real thing in the cheese line. While soHie e@hat stronger than usual in cheese of9thetpresent day, 1t is still perfectly eatable, and the family have been eat ing 25-year-old cheese, which, to say the leastis a very unusual incident.
 MT. Bushnell says he thinks the cheese would have kept forever, and in ages to. come might have been found

AIfaIfa on snndy Lnnd.

While I usually advise against try ing alfalfa on sandy land, especially because of the luxuriant growth of crab grass. yet your land, located on the edge of the lime belt, and the presence in your field of the Cherokee rose, makes me think that your land might contain considerable lime and may suit alfalfa. Unless you are satisfied that it is decidedly calcareous, would advise the addition of five barrels of building lime per acre, first stacking it to DOW der.
 Inoculation will be necessary either with dirt from alfalfa or from melilo- tus. Plant about March 1 twenty-four pounds per acre. Besides lime l would use 400 pounds of acid phosphate ,(not applied in immediate contact with llme) and if obtainable, 100 pounds of nitrate of soda.
