SOMEWHAT COMPREHENSIVE
 MEASURE

The electricity bill passed by the Senate. Wednesday, provides that no person or corporation shall, unless so authorized by the General Assembly, in any city or town of over 15,O00 population, manufacture for sale any electricity for lighting or power, unless to be used in the business of the man ufacturer or in or on buildings or lands owned or used by him. It further permits the manufacture for sale to others where transmission under, along or across public highways or public grounds is not necessary.
 The first point which may be noted, is that the General Assembly may at any time authorize any person or corporation to manufacture and sell electricity to the general public. This is, we thinks a legitimate inference from the working of the bill-'-unless acting under authority from the Gen \ral Assembly. If this inference is Yell founded, the General Assembly nAy at its pleasure authorize compe- titSn in general electric lighting and eledvic-power supply.
 ThA provision permitting the manu- factuA and distribution of electricity for the\purposes of the business of the manufa dklrer or for sale in or on buildings \nd lands owned or used by him, is v4N comprehensive. Distance Of G1ch buMnings and lands from the place Of mAnlfacture is not specified, even though the width or length of a. city may be between them. AS this pro- vision also authprizes distribution, it hay possibly be held that the use of les, condufts, etc. is permitted

THE PUBLIC UTILITIES QUESTION

THE PUBLIC UTILITIES QUESIION
 There is some slight doubt that the House will pass the Barnum bill next week. It rejected on Thursday, by majority of but votes, the minority bill This action was a great sur prise for it had been supposed that the minority bill would pass and that a deadlock between the two houses would follow, with the final result of no action whatever.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-08-06

The Payne tariff bill is now a law. President Taft has approved it, though declaring it not "a complete compli- ance with promises but "a sincere effort" to do so. It is a fact that hides and oil are made free of duty, and reductions on shoes. harness, etc, are granted, and it is also a fact that there are many increases in duties The people may sincerely pray for de- liverance from any more sincere ef- fortS'' of such kind.

COONEYiTES MAKE
 1000 CONVERTS

Dublin, Aug 6.-The third annual
 convention of 1.-The Dippers," as the
 Cooneyite revival in progress at Bal
 linamallard, County Fermanagh, is
 called presents strange scenes of re-
 ligious enthusiasm. It is the belief of
 the sect that the millennium may be
 ushered in at any moment and prayer meetings are being held almost con- tinuously.
 John West, a well-to-do member of
 the sect, has placed his large house and grounds, Crocknacrieve, at Ballin-
 ama1lard, at the disposal of the con- vention. The house accommodates
 one hundred persons, and others of the pilgrims utilize the Outbuildings and the spacious marquees erected on the lawn for sleeping purposes. Over two thousand pilgrims are attending the convention
 The little colony is the realization of
 the idea of simple, self-supporting communal life. Sunrise each morn ing finds the encampment full of life and activity. All the pilgrims are dressed in coarse, plain clothing The
 men are unshaven and wear rubber collars. On the heads of the women are straw sailor hats. All are busily engaged in manual labor or domestic duties-milking, butter-making, cook ing, sewing, bootmaking, carpentering, etc-every one being assigned to a daily task. Then follow intervals of devotional meetings hymn singing and baptisms. Energy is the keynote of the campaign Edward Cooney, the leader of the sect is the son of an Enniskillen Mag istrate. He has a wonderful flow of ! language and his sermons are inter spersed with racy anecdotes. He
 easily holds his followers during his | long discourses. He breaches on the unworthiness of all existing churches and the useleSsneSs of worldly possess | ion One of the favorite hymns of | the sect concludes:
 | Neither carry script nor raiment, Neither shoes nor slaves, Walk unburdened through the deserts, | Through the waves.
 The baptisrna1 ceremony is performed | in an adjacent stream running along the valley. The leader doffs his boots
 and wades to the center of the stream. | Then he gently lowers the convert | backward until the entire body is inn | mersed, after which the convert is as | sisted to the shore, while the pilgrims
 sing, "Who will be next?'' | No money collections are taken up. l Dinner and tea are given freely to all visitors to the convention, crowds of | whom flock daily to see the Clippers
 Many persons are being converted to the sect by reason of the energetic sincerity of the campaign, and are i The converts already number over D. | OOO
 Thus far the convention has suffered
 no molestatiOn. The pilgrims say they | travel without money, earning their way by manual labor. Men and wo- l men arc separated in the devotional | meetings.
