new KIND OF RAIL TO BE
SUBMITTED TO COMPANY

s. II. Atwater has Mt his office, 720
Main street. a model OF q new kind
of rail for the use of traction and
transportation companies, which has
been offered to the Kansas Colorado
Power and Railroad company for
use in the operations of its line
from here to Garden City, Kansas
The rail itself is similar in nil
respects to the one so universally
used but differs from 1t in the fact
that the greater part of IL is en-
cased in metallic jacket, which
enables the joints to be made longi-
tudinally instead OF square as is now
the case. There are apparently many
advantages about such II rail, not the
least important Of which is the Pc
culiar method Of making the joints,
which is, really, II splice instead of
the ordinary joinure by means of fish
plates. The doing away with the
old system OF joints at eaoh end OF
the rail will obviate the jolt and jar
now experienced In railroad trains
and will minimize the danger of nc.
cident from loose rails. The shoe
with which the rail Is enclosed will
also make II more rigid than would
otherwise bc the case aud prevent its
giving way ms Is omctimes done uE.
der the present system.
The model will DO taken to Pueblo

 Japan has arrived. The roots of Christianity have struck in Japan. and the Gospel has become indigenous. If all the foreign missionaries were to leave Japan tomorrow the work would go on and be sustained by the Japan csc themselves. The Church of Japan is q thing of the near future.
 There are dangers ahead. but the danger is that of the Old World strug- gle between the powers of light and darkness. Both Japan and India are flooded with Christian literature. and the intelligent youth of both coun- tries are being indoctrinated with scientific. aEnosticism. But our day of triumph will come" and the cheery optimist smiled with gladness.
 That which stands out clearest Is that in the East and in Africa new peoples are rising up waiting for the old Gospel"

Fair and Cooler Weather

Fair and cooler tomorrow" is the verdict of the weather man after q careful survey of his instruments in the Government Building yesterday. The thermometer will really not be much lower than 1t was yesterday and for several days past. but 1t is pre- dicted that some of the intense humid ity of the past few days will have dis- appeared by this morning.
 Yesterdays weather map showed contained warm and partly cloudy weather over the entire South yester- day. In keeping with the clouds there was little sprinkle about noon. which did nothing more than make the hot streets little more disagreeable. The temperature yesterday was about as usual between eighty-six and eighty eight degrees.

 TALKS ABOUT
 BIOGRAPHY Life of Gen. Walker Will Appear. COL. M. L. WOODS IS AUTHOR Idea Giveu of What the Book
 Is.
COL. M. L. WOODS IS AUTHOR
Interesting Life of Gen. Leroy Pope Walker, Secretary of War, c. s. A. is Nearing Comple-
 ton.

One of the most valuable contribu- tfons to Southern history is expected to be ready for reading within a few weeks, and this is no less than the Life of Gen. Leroy Pope Walker" The author of this important work is Col. Michael L. Woods of Montgomery.
 Colonel Woods undertook this import ant work more than two years ago. He has labored on it assiduousiy during all this time except when delayed by illness. There are thousands of read CTS familiar with the lives of other figures of Confederate history who Will be glad to have access to the ma ssfve collection of facts which have been compiled into biographic form concern ing the Secretary of War of the Con- federate States of America.
 That Colonel Woods is fit for the task of writing life of General Walker has to be acknowledged when one recalls the sixties and his political career af- terwards. Colonel Woods. though a native of Tennessee, came to Alabama when only IS years old, and in the sixties and seventies played conspicu- ous parts both in the forum and on the battlefield.
 The author of the Life of General Walker was Secretary of the Alabama Senate in the session of 1S72-73 and had also been a member of the House in 1880. He was in politics an ardent supporter of the States Rights Move ment aimed at the Black Republi- cans" In the war between the States he enlisted first as a private. but in less than year and a half was elected Colonel of the 18th Alabama regiment. Later. he became Colonel of the 18th Alabama infantry consolidated.
 Regarding the work on Gen. Pope Walker. which Is soon to appear in print, Colonel Woods had this to say yesterday, when seen in the Depart ment of Archives and History, under whose direction he is preparing the history:
 The work upon the Life which I undertook in earnest more than two years ago. has been interrupted for several months. I regret to say. by my ill-health. But am happy to be able to state that my health, having been restored, I am now devoting my win ole time as assiduously as possible to its

Democratic Harmony.

Democrats dissatisfied with the lead
ers of their party in Essex, whom they
denounce in no uncertain terms as
selfish and conScienceless, assem-
bled in Achtel-Stetter's in Broad
street, Newark, Wednesday night, and
formed an organization with which it
is proposed to dispose City Counsel
James r. Nugent, of Newark, and a
State committeeman, as leader in the
county and the alleged dictator to the
Essex County Democratic Committee.
Almost at the same time about fifty
members of the county committee
gathered at their headquarters, a
block and half away, and decided to
tender to Nugent testimonial dinner
In the Kruger Auditorium, in New
ark, on April 2S. Edward M. Wald-

Ward organizations will be formed at

Becomes a Registered school.

Mr. Sensor, inspector of schools, re-
presenting the State Department OF
Public Instruction, on Thursday,
March Goth, visited Morris Academy
and examined the methods and work
of the institution. He found the
working of the school in excellent con-
dition and, with the approval of the
State Board of Education, has placed
the Academy on the list of registered
schools of the State. The New Jersey
State Board of Education is now work
ing in cooperation with the New
York State Board of Regents. The
credentials, therefore, entitle pupils
of Morris Academy, who complete the
course of study prescribed by the
school, to enter without examination
any college or institution where the
REGENTS certificate is recognized. This
Educational system, recognizing the
credentials, includes nearly all the
colleges in the United States. The
honor has been conferred upon only a
few of the private schools in New Jer-
ley and must be a source of much sat
isfaction to those who are interested
in the Academy and its work.

The prolonged litigation between
William j. RICHTER, of Parsippany,
against the Jersey City Water Com
pany, was concluded on Tuesday by a
compromise, just as the case was to be
heard on the return of rule to show
cause why the corporation should not
be allowed to purchase the property in
question by Vice-Chancellor Emery.
1t is said that the settlement was in
the nature of payment of $4,000 by
the corporation to the complainant.
The suit was originally started to en-
join the defendant from flooding the
complainant's farm with water from
the ,Boonton reservoir. bitches were
dug to carry off the leakage, but they
proved ineffective. Then followed a
suit for damages.
