British Columbia Suffers.

Vancouver, B. c., June 4.-Heavy
rains, followed by warm weather, have
caused all the rivers and streams in
the Kootenay tableland of British Col
umbia to rise in flood, and, according
to advices received from interior points
today, the waters are still rising.
Along the line of the Canadian Pacific
railway between Nelson and SLOGAN
City there have been a number of
wa: houts, with the result that rail
communication is interrupted.
Passengers are being handled by
boats between Nelson and Roseberry,
but freight traffic is at standstill.
The Columbia river is reported to be
rising more rapidly than any of the
other streams in the interior.

ness men are de- monstanng their faith in Mont gomery and their confidence. in the pulling-power of Elec- tric Display Lighting by mak- ing their store fronts attractive. Montgomery streets are the talk of this section of the coun- try.
 Why not plan for a Browning Feature that will make the beautiful State Capitol Building of Alabama the admiration of the world.
 The Capitol domes of many states are already illuminated. but no Capitol dome in Amer lea can be made so beautiful by night at so little cost as IS possible in Montgomery.
 There are numerous ways by which this great iIlumina- ton may be financed. Possi- ply the quickest way would be by popular subscriptions. If no better arrangements can be made for installing and main taining a thousand or so lights upon the Capitol building, the Montgomery Light & Water Power Company stands ready to put the lights there and re- ceiye popular subscriptions up to the amount necessary to cover the bare cost of the in- stallatlon and maintenance. :.
 This IS merely a suggestion that may lead to a better plan. Supposing that a committee composed of State, City or civic bodies should consent to re- ceive subscriptions from throughout the State of Ala bama, 5000 subscriptions av- eraging a few cents each per month would allow the grand est illumination that has ever graced any building in the world.
 The State Capitol building of Alabama would be pictured in the Literary Journals of the country, and the present ad- mlnlshahons, already noted tor ingenuity and originality. would be still more famous In the history of a new era in Ala bama development.

 Do you want to see hum dreds of visitors from other states---the people who have money to spend---stop off at. Montgomery and see the famed White City of the world2
 Do you want to stimulate local business, encourage wholesale amuse- .ment resorts, incfease railway facili- ties, better hotel and restaurant ac- commodation, improve parks and public buildings. and see all civic af- fairs progress ?
 Do you want to associate the Capitol of Alabama with richness, quality, worth and abundancep
 Then sit down and write the Montgomery Light & Water Power Company that you approve of the Capitol Dome Lighting Project. and suggest howit should be accomplished.
 To give you comparative idea of the whole plan read this:
 A very creditable metallic equip ment of electrical installation on the Dome and base of the Dome would cost $1,OO0. The cost of maintaining the lamps and current supply $1 ,000, for one year,--.a total of $2,O0O, for the first year, and $1,O00, for each succeeding year. In other words. $167, per month for tue first year and $83, per month for the second year, or about $5.5O per night the first year, and $500 per night for the succeeding years.
 As the amount subscribed exceeds this estimate, more lights may be add ed. A subscription of $2.00 per year from five thousand persons would outline the whole top and front ofthe Capitol. allow an ornamental light ing scheme around its grounds and H. illuminate the Court Square Fountain. The uOlume Of subscriptions UOuld gauge the size Of the cleo fYj6aI display.
 This same form of decorative lighting brought hundreds of thous- ands of people from all parts of the world to see the World Fairs and National Expositions Those visitors still talk about the lighting, dfter mdny more costly attractions hdue been fOrgOften..
 The great ..MONTGOM- FRY" YOUR OPPORTUNI- TY sign.---the most marvellous sign to be seen west of the Atlantic Coast cities, will within few week be erected where every traveller in or through ths section of the country cannot fail to be attracted and im- pressed with the importance and en- terprise of the Capital City.
 To the already brilliant bower of electric signs and displays that en- terprising merchants have erected from the depot to the central part of Montgomery. will be added number of new and spectacular features that have recently been contracted for with the Montgomery Light & Water Power Company.
 To crown all these with the H. lumination of the Capitol building will make a lasting exposition that will attract more people to Alabama than would any other attraction of ten times the cost.
 Just as the Capitol dome will be made to stand out in the sky in cleo trical grandeur, so will the State of Alabama by this accomplishment be

100000 Gift to Industrial Art.

Mr.. Kelsey has given to the school
of Industrial Arts of the City of
Trenton one hundred thousand dol
/ lars ($100,000) for the purpose of
purchasing site and erecting and
equiping building for the use of the
school.
"The school is now supported by
small tuition fees, amounting in all
to about$1 500 a year. The State con-
tributes $1,000, and the city a like
sum, annually. These contributions
by the State and by the city will be
increased to $4,000 each, under an
authority of an act of the Legislature
pasted during its last session, MAX
ing total yearling revenue of more
than 21,000. In addition to this, the
annual rental of $1,000, which the
sschool now pays, will be saved.
The building will be located on the
southwest corner of State and Willow
street, No. 101-103 West State street.
The lot has been purchased from Mr..
Ogden d. Wilkinson for $19,000 1t
is about AZ feet on State street and
about 10S on Willow, running back
to Wilson alley, formerly called Han
cock street.
"The building will bear a tablet,
showing that it was erected by Mr..
Kelsey as tribute to the memory of
his wife and dedicated to the use of
the students Of arts and crafts of the
city of Trenton. 1t will probably be
five stories in height and cover the
entire lot. Mr.. Kelsey will reserve
for his own use forever a room in the
building in which he will assemble an
extensive collection of pottery brio
a-brac and articles of virtu, collected
by his wife and now in his possession
This room will be appropriately fin
ished and fitted by Mr.. Kelsey at his
own expense, in addition to the sum
contributed for the building. He will
also make provision for the perma-
nent care of the collection, and it
will be open for the inspection by
the students of the school, and by
the public one or two days of each
week

BOOM FOR KATzENBACH.

At a banquet of the Americus club,
held at Elizabeth one night last week
which was planned primarily to cele-
brate the y35th anniversary of the or
ganization, boom was launched for
Frank S. Katzenbach, of Trenton, for
the nomination for governor in 1910.
The matter has been widely discus
sed by politicians all over the state
since and has been received almost
without exception with favor.
While it is a far cry to the fall of
next year, it is pointed out that Mr..
Katzenbach made the strongest run
of any candidate of the party who
has ever been nominated since the
Republicans gained control by the
election of Griggs as governor in
1895.
Corporate greed and graft are the
great dangers that threaten the coun
try" declared Mr.. Katzenbach, at the
banquet Mr.. Katzenbach responded
to the toast @Our Country" He was
given great reception. Former As
semblylnan Peter r. Hughes who was
toast-master, introduced him as the
next governor Of New Jersey, and the
235 guests arose and cheered him
wildly as the Democratic guberna-
torial candidate in 1910.

Compulsory Temperance.

What is known as the 8 o'clock
closing bill has become a law in Ne
braska. 1t permits the sale of liquor
in licensed saloons throughout the
state between the hours of z a. m.and
8 p. m. By the same token it pro-
hibits the sale of liquor anywhere
in the state at all other hours. Those
who want wine for entertainment
purposes at dinner can, of course, pro-
vide it before. The Importance of
this rule is that it prevents young
men, and old ones, too, for that mat
ter, from going out after their days
work and their evening meal are done
and spending all their spare money
for drink when they might better
spend it with the clotheir, butcher
and the baker More people get
drunk between s p. m. and midnight
than during any four hours in the
twenty-four. If temptation is remoy-
ed during that time it is a great step
toward compulsory temperance

Mothers Day.

A striking custom and one that is
probably altogether unique in its com
munity of thought and observation,
has been adopted by the Modern
Woodmen of America. This custom
is the setting apart of one day in the
year to be known as Mothers Day.
The idea is the conception of Miss
Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia Faith
full observation of it in the proper
spirit woud be difficult to observe
it otherwise cannot fail to be pro-
ductive of good will among men and
women Hereafter the second Sun
day of May of every year will be
known to the American Woodmen
and observed by them as Mothers
Day.
The manner of the observation of
the day is both pleasing and inter-
esting. a. r. Talbot, the Head Coun-
sui of the Order, after alluding to the
beautiful suggestiveness of the day
and its observation urges every Wood
man who has mother near to make
a special effort to call upon her and
endeavor to impress upon her, with
due appreciation, what the influence
of good motherhood has been upon
mankind. Those who cannot visit
their mothers, are urged to write to
them some kindly and encouraging
message of affection. To those whose
mothers have passed onward, it is
suggested that, where it is possible,a
white carnation be laid upon her
grave.
The white carnation has been se-
lected as the typical flower of Moth
er's Day, and the Head CONSUL fra
terna1ly suggests that every member
of the Modern Woodman of America
wear the white flower in memory
and honour of the best mother who
ever lived--his mother"

TREATMENT OF SEED POTATOES.
Penna. State Zoologist Tells How to
Prevent Scab.

The subject of the treatment of
seed potatoes to prevent scab was
brought to the attention of the Di-
vision of Economic Zoology by r. j.
Belt, of Wellsville, York County, Pa.
Mr.. Belt treated his potatoes with
bichloride of mercury, having dis
solved two ounces of corrosive subli-
mate in Is gallons of water. Three
times this quantity of the mixture
was used on 40 bushels of potatoes.
State Zoologist H. A. Surface re-
piled that he prefers formalin to
corrosive sublimate for potato scab
treatment. This is because the for
malin, or formaldehyde, dissolves inn
mediately in water, it being liquid
itself when in the commercial form,
and does not corrode and material
by coming in contact with and dry
ing upon it as the corrosive sublimate
might do. After having killed the
disease germs it evaporates and is
gone, so that no evil after effects can
come from it. 1t is quickly and
easily prepared, and it's action upon
ones hand will not be anywhere near
as serious as the corrosive sublimate
solution.
To prepare the solution put 80 gal
Ions of water into barrel, to which
add one pint of the formalin solution.
This about equals one-half ounce to
gallon. This may appear weak.
but it is strong enough to destroy the
scab germs. Put the potatoes in
bags and the bags in barrels, and
pour enough of the foregoing solu-
tion of formalin and water into the
barrel to cover the bags, and let It
stand for an hour.

How the Boose Law VIII Work.

Major Frelance, in the Washington
N. j. Star, thus elucidates the new
Boose Law
Boose hitters of this town, of which
there are a few, had better sit up and
pay attention. They had better mend
there ways or there will be some
thing doing presently-or | might bet
ter say, there won't be anything do
ing. There is a new boose law in
this State now. The Common Coun-
Gil of any town can appoint three
men to receive complaints regarding
the drinking habits of any individual
and, upon being convinced that the
person in question is an habitual
drunkard, may serve notice upon Ii
quor dealers not to sell or provide
said drunkard with any Intoxicating
drink. If he does he will be fined
$780, the next time $100 and the third
time $780, After the third offense the
license may be taken away from the
liquor dealer.
1t will be quite shock to some
men in this town, who consider them
selves men of considerable rank, to
find their nsIle on the bleak list. 1t
will hurt their pride, severely when
they step up to the bar and get a
rundown from the bartender like
this: Il have list of buns and your
name is the second one on the list.
There's nothing doing at this joint
hereafter SO far as you are con-
cerned"
Women who have been having
trouble with drunken husband will
probably be the leading ones to COM
plain before the boards of protectors
They may get a beating for making
the complaint but that will be only a
secondary consideration if they ac-
complish their aim

Died in 4 Cabin.

The body of Theodore Felter, a
former Philadelphia fireman, was
found in his boat house OH the banks
OF Mantua creek, near Paulsboro, on
Thursday. The death of the man
was at first thought to be another
murder, but after investigation it is
believed Felter died from natural
causes. Felter spent most OF his
time in his little boat house. On
Thursday he went to Philadelphia to
draw his pension, and had about $3.50
Later he was found lying along the
creek by Samuel Cole, who took him
to his boat house, where he wanted
to be left alone
Coroner Hunter. OF Westyille, made
an examination of the body and
found that Felter had died from pneu
monia.

Laying Down Ones Duties.

Two communications to the stock
holders and Directors of The Wood
bury Real Estate Mutual Loans Asso-
citation read at the 39th annual meet
ing last evening, call for more than
passing notice. Indeed, they call for
notice at hands more competent to
pay just tribute than we can be ex-
expected to do. We refer to the
voluntary withdrawal of President
J. NJ. Henderson and Director G. A..
Madden.
Mr.. Henderson has been connected
with the Association almost continu-
ously since its organization May 5,
1871. From that date to May II,
1875 he was Director Then came
a break of six years, until May IL,
1881, when he again became Direct
or and continued until Jan. 81, 1885,
when he became Vice President, and
continued as such until May IL, 1887.
Feb. Is, 1883 he was elected Presi-
dent and continued in that Office un-
til the present annual meeting.
Hence for 81 years Mr.. Henderson
has been an important factor in di-
recting the business of this instnu-
tion of our city.
Those of our readers who knew
Mr.. Henderson in his active days,
know that he was not dead head in
anything he engaged in, so the de-
duction follows that he shares freely
in credit for making this association
what it has been and vet is, one of
the strongest institutions of its kind
in the State.
