A Valuable Stallion.

The stallion, Athel, 1887, so lone
at the Round Top farm, Bernardsville
the property of F. P. Olcott. is now
located near the town of Arlington.
La. Athel is well-known as an own
brother to Arion, 2.07a. that sold for
Sl25,0O0.' Athel himself brought S25.-
900 at auction in New York the winter
he was two years old. There was quite
some rivalry for the possession of this
colt, which was then named Baby Nc
Kee.
When Peter Kellogg asked for bid
on the colt Dun Walton bid $40, OOo.
Mr.. Kellogg did not hear Walton's bid
and accepted Thomas Greenwood's bid
for the like amount. Mr.. Walton then
bid $4,000, Mr.. Greenwood came back
with ST. 900. $4,000 bid Mr.. Walton.
$21 900 was Mr.. Greenwood's next
bid, and it was evident that he was
near his limit. Mr.. Walton went S22, :
900, and after some hesitation Mr..
Greenwood bid $4,000. Walton then
bid $4,000. While this duel was going
on between Walton and Greenwood it
was being watched by Mr.. Olcott.
When Mr. kellogg hung at 1924 900
and it looked as If Walton would get
the colt, Olcott quickly called out
" $4,000 All Mr.. Kellogg's elo-
quence could not secure raise, and
Mr.. Olcott got the colt. Mr.. Olcott
took him to Round Top and changed
his name to Athel.

AT the hearing on the public util-
titles commission bills before the House
committee on Monday, one of the
speakers asserted that under the
Hughes law in New York state, more
than million and a half dollars has
been expended within the last year,
and with practically no results. One
of the chief arguments that was adj
vanced in favor Of the creation of a
public utilities commission in New
Jersey, two years ago, was that New
York, had one, and the " Hughes
law was held up as pattern to be
adopted here and that, it may be re-
marked, is the basis for most OF the
suggested reforms some other State
has adopted them. New York's pub
lie utilities commission law has been
too great failure for New Jersey to
adopt it,

speaker for the fourth consecutive
time The house conferred him an
honor given to only one other man
in the history of that body, Andrew
Stevenson, of Virginia, having served
four terms as speaker The fight on
the rules, which has been waged with
desperation during the last two
months, terminated in partial vic
tory for the insurgents, who sue
ceeded in defeating d resolution to
adopt the existing rules and forced
the adoption of certain notifications
which curtail the power of the speak
er and the committee on rules and
insure the consideration of bills IA
vorably reported by committees,
The regulars" however, defeated a
resolution taking away from the
speaker the power of appointing
committees, which. had it passed,
would have meant the gradual but
certain distintegration of the house
organization.

Mr.. COLE, the street commissioner,
is pleased to find that citizens gener-
ally are ready to cooperate with him
in the work Of cleaning up the town
and removing distractions. OF course
there are a few persons who are selfish
enough to desire special privileges and
a very few who are obstinate enough to
insist upon having their conditions as
bad as the worst in their neighborhood.
However, he has tact and perseverance
and the good work is going on. He is
applying the housewives theory to
cleaning the streets in that he takes
advantage of rainy weather to scrape
the mud from the roadways, thereby
getting the maximum results with the
minimum amount oflabor. The labor
ers are supplied with waterproof cloth
ing, so that it is no hardship for them.

From the bridge Captain Parkin- son himself directed his ship. His face was placid, his bearing steady and eon- fident This in itself was sufficient earnest that the cruiser was in ticklish case, for it was an axiom of the men who sailed under Parkinson that the more cause was there for nervousness on the part of others.
