The bids for The construction of two
monster battleships which are to outclass
the English "Dreadnought" have been
opened at Washington and in the face of
high prices which prevail in everything
else the bids were surprisingly low. The
lowest bid came from the Newport News
Company which offers to build the ships
which will be 20, 900 tons each, for about
three thousand dollars less than the cost
Of the louisiana battleship of Io, 900 tons.
The total cost of each ship when COM
pleted will be about ten million but IS
the law provides that no company shall
receive the contract for more than one
the second lowest bidder will get the
award for the second ship.

The city of Nottingham, England, is
an example of municipal economy and
management. The city garbage is used
for making steam that generates enough
electricity to run the street cars and con-
verts the cinder or ashes into cement
bricks, harder and more durable than the
ordinary cement brick. These bricks
are in turn used for building purposes
and for paving the streets of the city.
They do not cost half as much as ordinary
paving stone, and the garbage produces
more than can be used by the city.

Wegefarth is the protector of the organic
alton and will occupy the presidents chair,
the other officers being appointed by him.
Some time ago musical men of New
York city launched a like enterprise.
which did not accomplish successful
issue, but as there.are many well-known
composers residing within the limits of
Philadelphia who are sympathy with the
undertaking there is no doubt of its sue
cess.
The temporary Office will be in the
Grand Opera House building, of which
Mr.. Wegefarth is the business manager.
Later on, as the club assumes more de-
finite shape, rooms will be rented In the
heart of the city.
Mr.. Wegefarth has just completed q
waltz song, "Where Are You Going On
SundayY' which bids fair to play and sing
itself into public favor as speedily as his
other compositions. The question we ask
mostly now, "Where are you going on
Sunday?" was the composers inspiration,
and he has determined to have the public
sing the query rather than speak it. 1t is
seashoIe song and should be on every
body's whistler during the Summer. Tbs

In AN appeal from conviction of a crime
the plea was made that the grand jury
was not legally constituted, as two of the
m embers were beyond the statutory age
of So years. The Chief Justice, however,
decided that the appeal.was not well taken.
The crime with which the man was
charged was committed while the grand
jury. was in session, hence he was debar.
red from interposing challenge to any Of
its members on account of age. 1T is
settled, said the Chief Justice, "that the
improper composition of grand jury will
not constitute ground for plea in abate
ment. The remedy in such case is to chal
lenge before indictment is found or to
move to quash afterwards"

AMONG the bills vetoed by Governor
Stokes was one that required persons who
have appeals from assessments to go to
the County Board of Taxation with their
grievances before appealing to the State
Board. The Governors reason for veto.
Ing the bill was that 1t might deprive
some from the right of appeal. The ides
of the proposed law was that County
Boards might be in touch with the move
ment of appellants. The failure of this
bill to become law relieves the County
Boards from much work, for it is quite
probable that those desiring reductions
will go direct to the State Board, espe
cially when the results of the past year art
reviewed.
