So YEARS Behind
PRISON WALLS.
Possibly the Only Man in the WsrId
Without a Friend Outside of Prison
Walls is William E. Hall, a
Civil War Veteran.
(By Special Wire to the ARGUs.)

Boston, Mass, Aug. 3-Possibly the
only man in the world without a friend
outside of prison walls is William E.
Hill. a civil war veteran, who today
entered upon his 39th year as an in
mate of the State prison in Charles
town. Hill is serving life sentence
tor the murder of William Jacobs, near
Steughton Centre, in 1870. His friends
deserted him from the first, and his
wife, who aided him in the commission
of the crime and then turned States
evidence at the trial, long since dis
appeared.
He entered prison August 8, 1870.
Since then he has been outside the
prison walls only twice-ence when
the prison was transferred to Concord,
and again, a few years later, when it
was transferred back to Charlestown,
Although be has spent the best years
of his life behind the bars and is now
an old man, he has never lost hope of
some day being pardoned.

The AMERICAN vaccine.

A campaign covering 20. 600 miles of
has been ended by the arrival at Paris
of the Protos, the German entry, and
the Thomas cal made in this country.
The Protos arrived first, but 1 100 miles
of it's journey in America was made in
a railroad carr Like Dorando at the
stadium, it was carried. For this rea-
son the Thomas car will undoubtedly
be declared the winner. The entire
race was conducted by the Now York
Times and the Martin of Paris, and
these two papers will no doubt see that
justice is lone.
Both machines were as tough and
strong as machines can be made. 1t
was a fearful trial of wheels andtrams
and power, and still more SO of the
men behind the steering gear. It was,
in fact, moro of a victory for the men
who faced every imaginable difficulty
than it was for the max rs of the ma
chimes.
Tho American machine had . lead
at San Francisco of 1.10O miles and 81
days over the German machine, and
at San Francisco the machines were
placed on a steamer that carrie them
to the Attic regions. From Vladive-
stok the Protos made the better record,
but not enough better to make good
its poor showing before reaching San
Franeisco.E The first honors will un-
doubtedly 60 to tho American machine
and it's drivers.
The h~ardsLips Of the tour have not
rendered. the touring automobile any
more desirable. Nothing has been gain
ed except perhaps to show how much
men can endure, when before the eyes
of the world..No hardship was lack
ing in the tour, n the entire affair
shows what pluck and human endur-
ance are capable of.

Hedges Case Dismissed.

In the district court yesterday on
motion of County Attorney Koelsch
the case of the state of Idaho VS..
Henry Hedges, assault with intent
to commit murder, was dismissed,
the attorney stating that it was i'm
possible to secure important wit
nesses in the case. The charge
against Hedges was the result of a
shooting ARRAY at the Idanha hotel
last June. when four shots were
fred at A. S. Whiteway, two of
them taking effect, but not serious
ly. The case was first called for
bearing February %. but owing to
the absence of several of the state S
most important witnesses, was con-
tinued to subsequent dates. and
now for the same reason comes the
dismissal of the information. -

The Cheer civer.

A man may lose his bank account
And still retain his smile.
May start again to build 1t up
And cheerful be meanwhile.
If his digestion is all right
For three meals daily fit,
A little thing like loss of wealth
Won't trouble him q bit.
But though he piles his dollars high.
Has stocks and bonds galore,
He cannot coax a single smile
Nor yet with laughter roar
If his digestion is a pet
That he must always nurse
And be assured with every meal
He will be feeling worse.
IT'S not hJ any act of will
We cheerful feel and gay
And want to frolic with the boys
To pass the time away.
That fine and blissful frame OF mind
Comes when we are in fix
II need be to digest with ease
A load or two of bricks.
So, If we would be full of Joy
And depots for delight.
We must digestion deftly train
And keep 1t working right.
We cannot smile and with ourselves
A good impression make
constant stomach ache.

sewer Uases Decfded

Justice Swayze, in the Supreme
Court, filed an opinion on Monday
which sets aside the suits instituted
by George G. Frelinghuysen and the
township of Hanover against the town
of Morristown and affirms the proceed
ings of the Morristown Board of Sew
erage for the construction of sewage
disposal works within the bounds of
Hanover Township. Various objec-
tions made by the prosecutors as TO
the constitutionality of the act are set
aside in the opinion, as to the conten-
uion that the act attempts to vest in
Morristown police powers to be exer-
cised within political limits of Han
over Township.
This contention, the court says, ig-
nores the fact that the police power is
vested in the State and not in The
municipalities, which are but subor-
dinate agents of the State and subject
to it's control. 4

Special Services In Sc. Peters Church
on sunday for the order.
| Sunday was memorial day of the or
der Of Woodmen. In accordance with
the custom observed here for the first
time last year, the members of the
Morristown Camp assembled in the
lodge room and marched to Evergreen
Cemetery in the afternoon, to deco
rate the graves of deceased members
Of the order. On the return, members
of the order to the number of about
eighty, proceeded to st. Peters
Church, where Rev. Philemon Sturges
preached sermon particularly to
Woodmen, taking the demands of the
order exemplary habits, good moral
character and belief in supreme be-
| ing as the basis of his remarks. After
welcoming the men to the church he
said that the observance of the day is
a declaration to the community ofsa
| fine and true sentiment. If we think
of the grave as a pent-up prison, a
place of slow decay of the body, we are
wasting time. Nothing in life is less
real than the grave if we truly think.
Ii it brings to mind the thought of
human brotherhood and sympathy as
a part and parcel of the spirit of the
order, these things which cannot be
undone, then it is not death to you, it
is men you remember.
After all there are things which en-
dure : and to be able to discriminate
between things that last and things
that do not is the first step in charac-
ter. The fate Of the thinks you and l
love is nothing less than our own fate.
If food, drink, money, bodily COM
fort, are what we think ABOUT, then
all will be gone when they are gone.
Don't let the day be an empty form.
There are things unseen all about us,
the spirit Of brotherhood, Gods truth,
which the world cannot sometimes
see, but ye know. If you believe in
brotherhood, character, God of real
ity, then the brightness and peace
without Of to-day's sunshine is a sym.
Dol of the life all shall share with
those who have entered before us.
Special musical numbers were rend-
cred by the choir, under the direction
