HOPE FOR THE PoLIcYHoLDERs.

The international policyholders' COM
mittee has formed an organization which
commands respect and must exert wide
influence. The names Of Richad Olney,
Gov. n. b. Broward OF Florida, Judge
George Gray, James G. HemphilI, Alton
B. Parker, Benjamin +. Tracy and
Thomas b Wanamaker mean serious
effort to give the policyholders actual
representation on the directorates of the
New York life and the Mutual If the
men nominated for directors by this
committee are Of equally high standing,
the election cannot but have a whole
some effect upon both companies. The
existing administrations are inevitably
under suspicion Many policyholders
will, on general principles, refuse 10
vote for trustees who are picked out
hy those now in power and are pre-
sumably friendly to them. Policyh0ld-
ers justly demand that directors and Off
GERS under whom abuses flourished or
under whom thorough investigation has
been checked, should step out. In or
der to stem this tide Of disaifection,
the present managements must make up
tickets OF men who will be more than
mere dummies. Indeed, the New York
life has already offered list OF un-
commonly strong candidates. Thus, by
pressure on the administration, the op-
position, even if not victorious in form,
may be in fact. New York Eveuing

MAKING A CITY TO ORDER.

Twenty miles southeast of Chicago
a slow sleepy river winds through the

and empties into Lake Michigan, writes

Cacti, natives Of southern deserts, here
flourish in abundance Hot winds blow
the sand into evef-ehanging hillockA,
and the lake hes hot and piercing in the
glaring sun. The river Grand Colu-
met =o-called- is but a tiny stream,
so stagnant In places that its current
and the marsh can hardly be distin-
giished.
Three years hence. the traveller along
these shores will be greeted By the busy
cattcr OF a large eity. The whole face
Of nature has been changed The ont

As he approaches the river, great har-
Dor meets bis gaze. The largest steam
crs can now navigate the river, and an
islnal haven il afforded the huge freight

clouds OF henry smoke, hanging shove
leaping flames and gIaring furnaces, be-
tray the reason for this sudden trans

of the world here give employment to
$4,000 workmen. Two square miles are
filled with noisy mills and belching fur
naces. The magnitude OF the great plant
is overpowering.
That this transformation shall take
place has been decreed by the directors
Of the United States steel corporation.
10 give weight to their words, they
have bought 5000 acres Of land on the
Grand Calumet river, drawn up the plans
for the new steel plant and city, and

industrial project of all time, by voting
$4,000 900 for the enterprise.

Papers in the Thaw Case.


New York, July 24.Justice Mclean
signed an order yesterday directing the
law firm Of Black, Olcott, Gruber &
Bonynge to hand over to Mr.. Hartridge
all papers having any connection with
the Thaw case. There was no opposi-
ton to the motion BY Thaw's former
attorneys, who said that they had no
sworn afIidavits from alicnists relating
to Thaw's mental condition.
That the letters written by the mother
of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw 10 Stanford
White are giving Harry Thaw some
worry was shown today BY the Arrival
in this city OF Roger O'Alara, the for
mer chief Of police Of Pittsburg, who is
now in the employ OF the defence. Mrs.
Thaw met O'Alara at the Pennsylvania
station in Jersey City this morning, and
they went at once to the Tombs.
Mrs. Thaw spent half an hour with
her husband, but 0'Maradid not see him.
After her visit Mrs. Thaw and the de-
tective went to the office Of Clifford w.
Hartridge, Thaw's personal COUNSEL.
O'Mara admitted that his visit here was
in connection with the letters written
by Mrs. Holman, formerly Mrs. Nesbit,
to White, but declined to make any fur
ther statement.
Lawyer Hartridge when asked if he
thought the letters would help or dam
age his clients case, said:
II think the newspapers have sized
them up about right. The letters speak
for themselves"

Montpelier appeared for the petitioners
The citys side OF the case has already
been heard and the work Of taking the
petitioners testimony is now going On.
Yesterday afternoon the testimony OF
DIR. G. M. Scrihner was taken He de-
scribed the water systems and the rese-
voirs, also gave testimony regarding
the withdrawal of several of their pat
rons on Patterson street, the reason for
this act being given as the low pressure
which was to be obtained at this point.
At this time there was a leak in their
sand hill reservoir. At the time the bill
was served in 1898 they had applications
for water on other streets pending Af-
ter the city had turned down their APP
plication to make further connections,
they notified the authorities that it was
still their intention to make them. Did
not understand that the statutes re-
quired them to file a plan showing their
main lines and the connections from

Editor Barre Daily Times: AS an olfi-

matter over with the subscribers with
the result that they were almost unani-
NOUS in their decision that they wanted
nothing To do with tho association Ar

ed the Others TO sever ther connections
with IL rather than be drawn into It.
/ The wisdom Of this decision, is best
shown by the fact that the Union Com

twenty telephones within tairty-six
hours after the separation, to meet the
increased demand In closing l will
say that the Union Company was OF.
