TURNS DOWN
WATER CO.'S OFFER
FOR SUBURB PLANT
Wells at BelIeviIle Believed to
Be Worth More Than
$1,000.
NO WATER RIGHTS TO BE
SOLD TO CORPORATIONS
of Works Rejected Prop.
OsitiOn Several Years Ago.
Council Action Unanimous.

The Hudson County Water Company.
a subsidiary of the East Jersey Water
Company. through its counsel, last
night offered to the finance committee
of the Common Council $4,000 for the
use of the municipal water plant and
wells at Belleville, and the proposition
was promptly turned down by the city
fathers unanimously, or the grounds
that If the plant was worth 10000 a
year to the water company it would
be worth more than that to the city
as an additional source of potable
water supply in the future. Alderman
Michael F.. Mullin. of the Fourth
Ward, declared hat no company or
corporation should be given any water
rights in the State, declaring that If
they secured a lease as a foothold there
would be no limit to what they would
want and attempt to take.
The proposition vas brought to the
attention of the Board of Works sew
eral years ago and the deal was on
the verge of contamination, when 1T
was discovered that the water and
other city holdings were in the control
of the Common Council, h financing
body of the municipality, and the e n
tative contract drawn up was discard
ed. The representatives of the water
company have been busy since with
the Aldermanic body, their efforts cul-
minating last night with the renewal
Of the offer made to the Board of
Works.
There are some sixty wells and two
tanks on the Belleville property, with
machinery and houses that can be used
with some slight repairs, which, in
emergency, would furnish the city
5000, 900 gallons of water per day OF
t~wenty-four hours. The Belleville plant
has not been used since the city
acquired the watersheds in the Pc
quannock valley region a few years
ago. The watersheds maximum is go
00o, 900 gallons per day. and the city
is now using $4,000, 900 per day, with
the possibility of taxing the sheds to
their utmost capacity. and then it is
pointed out the 100000 or 1000, 900 gal
Ions of additional potable water will
be a welcome acquisition to the city.

NO RETURNS HAVE BEEN MADE.

Little Rock, May 19.-Accord- ing to a published letter sent out by Chairman John F. Rutherford of the State Democratic Central Committee, the secretaries of the various county central commit tees, in the Seventh congressional district. have been notified to send Tn to the secretary of the State Central Committee all tally sheets, election return vouchers, etc, in that district, in order that a rehearing might be had ir the contest between R. Minor Wal lace and W. s. Goodwin. to de termine who was the regularly elected congressman from that district.
 The returns were to be forward ed at once and were to be in the hands of the committee by May 26, which is next Tuesday, as the committee wanted to have time to pass the matter up to the state convention, which meets a week later, June 2.
 Secretary Page stated to-day that no returns had been sent in from any of the counties, so far as he knew, nor did he know what action the central com mittees intend to take in the matter. It is understood that the call by the chairman is regularly in line with the rules of the State Central Committee. which body has the right to pass upon such cases by appointing a special com mittee or by forwarding the mat ter to the state convention for final settlement.
 Under the present circum- stances 1t is evident that action will have to be quick, or the cen- tral committee will have no time to go into the affair.

A CHRISTIAN JUDGE

Judge Mckenzie Cleland. of the Municipal Court Chicago. has been placing criminals ad- dicted to drinking on parole. The plan seems to be quite a suc- cess. It is interesting to read the following from the Judge himself:
 "One lesson I learned over and over again-the lesson of faith in our poor fallen humanity. l learned that no man or woman has travelled so far on the road to ruin as to be beyond recall.
 "One day there was brought in before rea member of one of our large churches, charged with drunkenness and with abusing and neglecting his family. There was much evidence against him and:no one spoke word in his favor. He was anxious to be given another chance, but his wife and friends objected. 1 H. nally allowed him to go upon his promise to do right. For six months now he has kept his promise to do right, although his wife still refuses to live with him. He lives in little room by him. self, turns over his wages to his wife and children, has denied himself even the luxury of an overcoat the whole winter, and told me this week that he had taken two of his old friends to a mission and seen their souls saw ed.
 of the l, ,231 persons whom l placed on parole during the year all were not only willing but eager to grasp the opportunity to do better. Some-about seven per cent of the total-f failed, be cause unable toleave liquor alone, but l, ,134 were able to win out become sober. industrious citizen. Many men came in voluntarily and asked the help of the court 10 enable them to reform, and their gratitude toward the law for this assistance was wonder ful.
 But the law by itself can do nothing for man. He needs most of all the Gospel; but the law and Gospel working together for the salvation of fallen men and women would be ideal and irresistible. .
