TELEGRAPH POLES
MADE OF CONCRETE

The newest thing to appear among
up-to-date railroad appliances is a
concrete telegraph pole, and the lat
ter part of last week the Pennsylva-
mia railroad lines west made a num-
ber of tests of heavy type as though
to try them out, same having oc-
Cured at Rochester, Pa. More tests
of the poles are to be made. and If it
is then found that they fill the bill it
is quite probable they will be adopted
on that section of the road.
The growing scarcity of trees, both
for cross-tie and telegraph pole use,
has caused the reinforced pole to
come into existence. The concrete
pole is about the same size and shape
as the ordinary wooden pole, and
both were subjected to various strains
and pulls to ascertain their relative
qualities.
The Pennsylvania lines west al
ready have one mile of line equipped
with concrete telegraph poles near
Maple, Indiana. The present pole,
however, Is thicker and heavier than
the older ones, and is expected to give
much better results; while the origin
al cost of the concrete pole is greater
its strength and endurance will be
far superior to that of the wooden tie.

On February % the hostess who can
entertain at a luncheon may have a
very unique and charming affair.
The guests should be asked to wear

elaborate is desired, to wear their
hair powdered and dressed as old-time
a way as possible. Decorate the table
with candles in sticks of silver or

INSURANCE
REPORT DUE.
Indications Are That the LegisIa.
ture will Settle Down TO
Work Tonight.

TRENTON, Feb. lS:-Real law
making is the program for tonight,
when the Legislature meets to begin
the seventh week of the present ses-
sion. Considerable time has been
consumed over the United States SEN
atorlal question, which interfered
with all regular proceedings during
the three weeks, and last week Lin
coins birthday and the election for
state treasurer to succeed United
States Senator-elect Frank o. Briggs
materially interrupted straight legis.
lative work.
This week some attention will be
given to the matter of choice OF
state railroad director to succeed
Charles p. Bradley, who declined a
reelection. Like the senatorshiI
and treasurership, this election will
have to be preceded by party confer
ences and a caucus and joint ses-
sion, but 1t has been pretty well
threshed out already, and can be
whipped through without any appar'
ent delay.
1t would have been done last
Thursday, when Uncle Dan" Voor,
hees, of Morris county, was made
state treasurer, except that at the
last minute 1t was discovered that tht
joint session call did not mention
the state railroad director and to hav
proceeded further at that time woult
have been irregular.
Insurance Report Due.
1t is expected that the report of the
special insurance commissioner
authorized by the last legislature t.
investigate all phases of the insui
ance business in this state, will b
handed to the lawmakers this weel
and 1t is understood that II tn
recommendations 1t contains ar
adopted, some drastic insurance legii
latioIi will be enacted for the benef
of policyholders.
The investigating committee
headed by Senator Thomas j. Hillery,
of Morris county, and 1t conducted
its probe during the spring and sum
mer. Since then the committee has
prefaced it's report, which. it Is un-
derstood, will make declaration &c
the effect that all surpluses of insur-
ance companies, both stock and mu-
tual, belong to the policyholders, and
should be so regarded by law. To
accomplish this it will be necessary
to enact measure similar to the one
which has already been introduced to
repeal an act passed in the early
eighties, to give the stockholders, and
not the policyholders, control of the
surplus of insurance companies. II
was at the behest of the Prudential
Insurance company that this bill was
passed.
1t Is said that the report will also
contain a recommendation for the en-
actment of law to limit the invest
ment of insurance funds In any one
corporation. The committee believes
that insurance companies should not
use the money of policyholders for
the financing of other corporations
but should invest 1t in limited
amounts in different enterprises in
order that greater security may be
assured.

declared to be in favor of prohibiting

THE FORMS OF LAW.

All, under the forms Of law,
did you say?
Last week we, no doubt in COM
mon with thousands of other far
minded" Kentuckians, could not
keep from contrasting the trials ac-
corded Caleb Powers with those ar
ranged for the Hargises and Gala
han, the Breathitt county assassins.
A suggestion from the Hartford
Herald to the effect that Gov. Tay-
lor should be brought back for trial,
caused US to publish some few, and
only a feC, of the most glaring diff
ferences in the manner of conduct
of the two celebrated cases by those
in authority. To this the Herald
attempts, this week, an answer.
Not in denial of a single statement
we made. but merely by impugning
our motives and imputing to us SEN
timents which we did not express
and do not entertain.
Unable to refute our contention
that Powers has not been given the
same chance in his trials as the Har-
gises, the Herald lumbers off into a
half column about the lawlessness
under Gov. Taylor's reign. What
has that to do with the question at
issue? Does that answer the ques-
ton why Powers. after three rever-
sails by the Court Of Appeals, is not
admitted to bail, while the Hargises

FACTS ABOUT
The TARIFF.
Events Recalled In Connection
With the Downward Revis-
ion Period of 1894.

If the people of the country be-
lieved the statements of the Demo-
cratic managers in relation to the
Tariff, Mckinley would not have been
elected President.
The country was prospecting un-
der the Mckinley Tariff of 1890. but
the Democrats succeeded in electing
their National ticket in 1892 on the
Tariff reform platform. Before the
Tariff thinkers had time to make
threatened changes, business men
became cautious and production was
curtailed to such an extent that
thousands were thrown out of
work.
Workmen. manufacturers and
merchants united in petitions to
Congress asking that the Tariff be
left undisturbed. The value of
Protection was made SO clear that
there was a non-partisan demand
for it.
But the Democrats went ahead
and passed the Wilson bill. In less
than four years afterward the peo-
pie elected Mckinley, who had been
condemned by the Democrats.
The following shows the condition
of business during the low Tar
if agitation, and it will be diff
cult to induce voters to go back to
those days of suffering and trouble
as is now proposed:
NO MARKET FOR THEIR GOODS.
Amsterdam, Nov. 3.-Announce-
ment is made here through the local
office of S. Blaisdell, Jr., & Co., of
Chickopee, Mass, extensive whole
sale dealers in cotton and wool
stocks of all kinds, of the failure of
the firm. The house is one of the
largest concerns in the country. Its
agents are scattered all over the
country, and the annual sales of the
firm have amounted to between 49,
600, 900 and 100000. The assets
and liabilities are not yet made
known. The cause of the failure is
that the firm has been unable to find
a market for its goods at any price.
At the local branch here to-day
it was learned that the business Of
the firm this season has been the
poorest in years, the depression in
business having been a severe blow
to the cotton and wooden industries.
