WATER METERS and Law.

Attention of the Blu letin has
been called to an obscure publication
of the law passed by the last Leg
islature under which the Superin-
tendeIt of Public Works may" pro-
vide meters for the consumers of city
water.
That publication was made with
the apparent purpose of showing that
the Superintendent of Public Works
already has the authority to force
the installation OF the meter system.
No one has ever questioned the
Authority for running the water
works that was vested In the Super
intendent of Public Works by the
last Legislature. 1t is Just this au-
thority which the Superintendent OF
Public Works will unquestionably
lose II he persists in carrying out
the arbitrary policy OF raising rates
and forcing the installation OF meters
and generally conducting the bureau
regardless OF the sentiment of the peo.
pie, as well as the character OF the
service that is now being given for
the money.
The measure giving the Superin-
tendent OF Public Works authority
70 Install the meters. II meters were
desired, will sustain the principle of
non-legislative interference just as
long as the management is marked
by proper sense of the rights of
the taxpayers in the matter. The
principle Is a good one, and carries
out the idea of the continuing appro-
priation as well as may be done
under our present conditions.
But no sooner does the Superin-
tendent of Public Works get this au-
thority than he goes to work and,
without warning or request for pub
lie sentiment on the matter, prepares

CENSUS OF Church MEMBERS.

Religious beliefs of our people as
shown by the statistics of those per-
sons connected with the organized
church will be read with as much
general interest as anything that the
census of the country will bring out.
or course, 1t is well understood
that the church home of man or
woman does not, in these days, ac-
eurately establish the religious be-
lief of the person. but this method
of classification furnishes the only
basis for comparison.
Approaching the importance of
this phase of the census work, the
census bureau in one OF its circulars
sent out to the newspapers OF the
country has given digest of the
church statistics for the mainland OF
the United States as shown In the
census OF religious bodies for 1906.
That report gave the aggregate num-
Der of church communicates as 3d.
936.445. OF this total, the various
Protestant bodies reported 20,2S7.-
742 and the Roman Catholic church
12.679,142. t."
For purposes of comparison the
census authorities divided the prin-
cipal cities into four classes, those
having in 1900 population of 3OO.-
900 and over constituting the first
class; those OF from 100000 to 300,-
900 forming the second; those of
from $4,000 to 100000 making the
third; and those OF from $4,000 to
90, 900 forming the fourth class.
or the Protestant aggregate there
were 1,47S.145 or 7.3 per cent. in
the frst-class cities; AZ per cent. in
the second; and IA per cent. in the
third and fourth classes combined.
while SO per cent. were outside the
principal cities.

in the third and fourth classes com
bined; with 5.771.613 or 47.S per
cent. outside the principal cities.

however, that he 1oafed along. He
was waiting for his messengers Il

When he had waited what he be

manned there several days. He go,
some pigs. a cask Of cider, some sheep
and other supplies.
He sent treasure chest ashore
too. This treasure chest was buried
near the mansion OF John Gardiner.
lord OF the manor, by Gardiner him
self. Kidd paid Gardiner for his
trouble. not lavtshly but we'll. He
gave gold and silk and sugar and
linens to him. The silks and linens
were damaged. and the sugar was not
at its best, but gold is gold the world
over. From New York there came to
Gardeners Island lawyer named
Emmett to meet Captain Kidd. They
held long and earnest converse. The
captain learned that Lord Bellomont
was in Boston. and was loud in his
Arrest.
The captain pulled up anchor and
started off for Boston town. He
stopped at Block Island. There are
1864 different places on Block Island
that the natives point out as the spot
where Captain Kidd buried treasure.
From Block Island he made a short
run down to Oyster Bay. If he buried
any treasure In the Roosevelt grounds
1t has not been found. so far as Is
known. Maybe he met Mrs. Kidd there.
Next he sailed for Narragansett Bay.
There has been a lot of digging for
the treasure he buried there, Then
he loafed along the coast little more,
and on July !, 1893, he sailed into Bos-
ton harbor.
The Earl Of Bellomont received him,
not cordially, but not hostilely. The
earl insisted that they should not
speak except in the presence OF other
persons. The captain reported as to
the cruise OF the Adventure and the
ready to turn over the proceeds If
the earl would relieve Mr.. Livingston
from his (Kidd's) bond. The captain
played fair. but the earl did not, for
he refused to release Mr.. Livingston.
For week Captain Kidd occupied
q house in Boston which stood on the
ground now occupied by the Boston
Globe. Then one day he was arrested.
Lord Bellomont, Immediately after
putting the captain In jail, sent ves-
sci to GARDENERS Island. The treasure
chest was dug UP. Next everything
Mrs, Kidd had received from, the cap-
tain was seized. Searches were made
at every point where the San An-
tonic had stopped. but nothing had
been buried. SO far as could be learned,
except at Gardeners Island. The loot
that Kidd brought to America, aside
from merchandise OF small value. was
