WAS SWIPING ELECTRICITY. Linotype Operator at New Britain
 Did His Own Wiring.

New Britain, oct l5.-Henry F. Mohr, linotype operator at the New Britain Herald, was arrested yester- day afternoon on the charge of cleo tric wiring without permit. He is alleged to have been swiping elec- trfcity. The theft is one of the most novel the police have had to deal with. It is alleged that Mohr tapped the electric company's cable in the Curtiss block on Church street and ran a private wire to his room. light ing it up at the Connecticut Co.'S ex- pense. He is also alleged to have lighted up other rooms in the block, including the kitchen of his board- ing house. mistress. Mrs Almeron Preston. The electric company be- came suspicious and representative of the company called at the block on the pretext of engaging rooms. He quickly perceived the wire tapping job. Manager Risley reported to the police and Detective Officer Samuel Bamforth was detailed on the case. Officer Bamforth in plain clothes and Manager Risley then went to the block. They found very neat piece of wiring had been done. The meter had been cut out, so that electricity was being received from the company gratis. Mohr was arrested and brought to the police station. He ad- mitted doing he wiring to the police, it is said, giving as an excuse the light in his room was poor. Hess saw the wire and hitched 1t on. Mohr did not seem to be greatly concerned over his arrest and went bonds for himself, peeling of roll of $150. He went back to the Herald office to go back to work on his machine. Mohr's arrest was great surprise party. He is reputed to be well to do. having property in the country. He was accustomed to carry around with him liberal supply of money. He is an expert machinist, and 1t was child's play for him to take apart and put together a linotype machine. It is said he was quite favorite with the ladies.

QUO WARRANTO PROCEEDINGS Brought By Otto Stage Against Dep
 uty Building Inspector Mackie.


 As counsel for Otto Stage, Attor- ney Lynch this afternoon brought quo warranto proceedings against Alderman Robert Mackie to coax him to show why he should act in the capacity of deputy inspector of buildings. While MT Mackie has not grown fat on his job, having made, or rather earned only about $1O.23 since he was appointed last winter, MT Stage desires the glory pertaining to public office. Mr Mackie says he has money enough without gathering any more from any public office, especially the of. flee of deputy inspector of buildings. Since he was appointed almost a year ago he has worked at 1t about three days and half. while A. l.. Chatfield, the regular inspector was off fishing, and any more money than three days and half's wages would merely upset him, contract his vision. distort his mind and make him think he was first cousin to the Rothscholds and Rockefellers. Nil Mackie is cited to appear in court on October 27 and show cause why he should hold this very remunera- tive job.

New York Suns Comment on It.
 It was inevitable that MT Roose- welt should project himself into the Connecticut campaign, The Hon George Leavens Lilley is creature after his own heart. Any honor or disgrace that falls on the Waterbury statesman would be felt sympatheti- cally in the white house. MT Lilley is one aspect of the multifoym MT Roosevelt.
 To make scandalous unsupported charges against honorable men, to publish false statements, after tre- mendous hue and cry to catch noth- ing but wind, and by abuse of the in- jured party to try and call off public attention from the pitiable show the stirrer of the mess has made of him. self: truly Rooseveltian perform ance. Lilley has been an imitator of the inimitable. He must be protect ed, encouraged. boosted, vindicated. Besides, its'bully fun to insult con- gress.
 Lilley is such a nightly little Roosevelt, however. The original has bowels, practice. audacity, and has had an admiring or a forgiving pub lie. He could carry off the trick, out brazen fact, triumph in his own lie. But Lilley, poor little Lilley! He has no charter to save him from his folly. Can MT Roosevelt do anything for hin?
 Perhaps the Yankees have chang ed. Perhaps Connecticut can't mind her own business.

KELLOGG AS RAILWAY COUNSEL
Won Suit Against Mrs Josie Mason in
 District Court.


 Attorney John P. Kellogg as coun- sel for the Southern Railway Co won signal victory in the district court yesterday. Mrs Josie Elizabeth Ma son, through Attorney N. R. Bron- son, sued the railroad company for S400 for loss of certain articles of baggage while passenger on the de- fendant road. It was necessary to make an attachment to complete the service of making the ordinary re- turn, and one day freight car came to town with the name of the South ern Railway Co on its broad sides. Thereupon MT Bronson's constable put his attachment papers into effect. A bond was then filed by the defend- ant company and this released the car and its contents. A few weeks ago the matter came up In the district court on a demurrer filed by MT Kel- logg which brought into play for the first time in these parts the effect of the recent federal legislation relat- ing to interstate commerce. It was Mir Kellogg's contention that inar- much as interstate railroad traffic Is regulated by the federal government an attachment could not be made un- der the state laws, that in fact the service of the papers in the suit was not complete as the defendant con- cern is an alien in this state. MT Bronson contended otherwise. Late yesterday afternoon Judge Peasley, before whom the demurrer of MT Kel- logg was argued, handed down his decision in favor of Mir Kellogg's con- tention, thus deciding for the first time in this state in favor of the federal statute concerning interstate commerce. This practically disposes of the case in this state.

ROSE HILL HOSE co
Will Still Hold Together as Social
 Organization.

It Is said that notwithstanding the vote of the board of safety yester- day afternoon eliminating the ser. vices of the Rose Hill volunteer fire company, that organization may re- main in unofficial existence for some time. The city, it is said. will not charge the company for rent for use of the engine house. The badges and other properties belonging to the city may be returned but the organization can remain as 6 sociai body. to perpetuate memories of the good old days when Rose Hill was in It's prime and glory. In support of this rumor 1t is pointed out that since the disbandment of Protector Hose company In Brooklyn. the city has not had any rent for the use of ,.hat engine house.

AGAINST PISTOL "TOTING. "
Chattanooga, Nov. 10.

Ex-Gov. Cox is on the war path for
the pistol toter. which we are glad to
see, and will introduce in the next
legislature bill to see what can be
done with the gent who carries gun
in his pocket and murder in his heart.
The fourth section of the Act, as pro-
posed by Senator Cox, which gives a
fee of $50 to the officer who arrests and
prosecutes to conviction pistol toter,
will no doubt enhance the vigilance of
sheriffs nd deputies, and is an especi-
ally good feature.
Gov. Cox bill in full is as follows:
An act to suppress the carrying of pis-
tolls in Tennessee:
Section l. Be it enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly of the State of Tennes-
see: That it shall be unlawful for any
person to carry publicly or privately.
any belt or pocket pistol, revolver, or
any kind of pistol except the army or
navy pistol, which shall be carried op-
emily in the hand.
Section Q. Be it further enacted:
That any person violating the provis-
ions of Section of this act shall be
guilty of felony and subject to pre-
sentiment or indictment, and on con-
viction, shall be imprisoned in the
State penitentiary for term of not
less than five years.
Section 3, Be it further enacted:
That the provisions of Sections and
. of this act shall not apply to any per-
son employed in the army, navy or
marine service of the United States or
to any officer or policeman while bona
fide engaged in srresting or transport
ing those charged with crime, or in
actual search for such persons.
Section a. Be it further enacted /:
That any civil officer who shall arrest
and prosecute to conviction any person
guilty of carrying a concealed pistol,
as set forth in Articles 1 and of this
act, shall be entitled to fee of fifty
dollars, to be taxed in the bill of costs.
Section 5. Be it further enacted /:
That the Circuit and Criminal Judges
of Tennessee shall give this act in
charge to the grand juries in the vari-
GUS counties of this State, and the
grand juries shall have inquisitoral
power over the offense embraced in
this act, and no prosecutor shall be re-
quired.
Section 8. Be il further enacted
That this act take effect from and af-
ter it's passage. the public welfare re-
quiring il.

SET OUT ORCHARDS.

Did you ever hear of the "odd and
even year," in apple growing Sounds
uneer, doesn't it, But it is an actual
fact that farmers in the north do not
expect their apple trees to bear full
crop except on the 'even" year, while
on the "odd" year. there is only
scattering of fruit. However they
change this arrangement of nature by
picking the blooms of some of their
trees on the even year, which bloom
again on the following or odd year,
and maintain the custom ever after.
Down here in Tennessee we are great
complaners about the frost injuring
fruit and expect trees to bear every
year, and in addition to that we have
no orchards to mention. For instance,
between here and Whitwell, distance
of eight miles, there is only the merest
sprinkling of trees, so few in fact
that if they were to bear every year it
would hardly be noticed, The farmer
who has waste land, and a good many
of them have such land, should set it
out in apple trees, not dozen or so
but few hundreds. Before setting
out the trees the land should be plow-
ed and kept pIowed and free from
weeds The little work necessary for
this we'll be amply repaid by the in
creased growth of the trees, which
means fruit quicker, and above all, do
not let them branch out yard high
above the ground, but rather keep
them low, say eighteen inches, and
thus you will avoid the temptation to
pillow too close to the trees and cut the
tender rootlets which radiate in all di-
rections. 1t may seem foolish to set
out large orchards in the face of the
discouragements offered by frosts in
this section. but in view of the fact
that the northern farmer expects his
trees to bear only half the time, the
Tennessee farmer could at least expect
his orchard to give him a crop or a
portion Of crop as often as the frosts
would permit, and should set out more
orchards in an attempt to have fruit
on his table at some time or other.
AS it is getting now, in few years
there will be no fruit in The country
even in good season, for want Of
trees

THAT GREEN EPIDEMIC.

w. NJ Stone, who is manager of the
job department of the Chattanooga
Times and has been been since good
ness knows when, and we hope will
slams little something or other into
the columns of that esteemed publica-
ton, which causes smile. ''W NJ. "
or rather Bill" was raised up here
somewhere about Sequatchie county
line and knows every fence corner and
and persimmon tree in those diggings,
and has many fond remembrances of
early days there, so what is more nat
ural that the prevailing epidemic of
green colors in Chattanooga should in
spire him to dive into agricultural
"reminiscences and describe that bucolic
episode of Laban and Jacob as start
er to get a whack at the green sickness
there. His little ''just-a -word'' is
headed "Green" Eyed "Bilr' Stone,

ed in the Sodom- Gomorrah News, !"
and is as follows:
ITO the Chattanooga Times.
Just a word with the Abbott Roys-
ter Aesthetic Association:
"Long time ago when ranching was
more popular than it is now, an old
farmer named Laban had young fell
low working for him that was always
kicking about his wages. So Laban
promised that if he would shut up and
go on about his business that, in flu
ture he would give him every speckled
calf that was born on the ranch. You
know in those days all the calves were
born white and solid colors. So La
ban thought he had good one on
JAKE, but Jacob was up to snuff. So
he sends one of the hired men down to
Sodom and Gomorrah and buys up a
lot of old barber poles and they set
them up around the farm where the
cattle we're accustomed to loaf, and,
would you believe it, next spring near
ly every other calf that was born was
speckled one. Now, this leads up tc
what wanted to say. Last spring
the City Beautiful club requested the
telephone company to paint all their
poles sage green, which they did
then the electric light company, not tt
be outdone, began to paint their poles
a grass green and in consequences
thereof, this year our boys are wearing
