Public Utilities Law Signed.

Governor Fort signed the Wake
lee-Pierce public utilities bill, at Tren-
ton, at the same time making public
statement defining his attitude
toward the measure. The Governor
in his statement says he has salts
fed himself as to the constitutionality
of the bill, and quotes an opinion of
ex-Justice Van Syckel Others he
had consulted were Chanler w Riker.
Attorney General Edmund Wilson
and Frank NJ Sommer In discussing
the bill itself, the Governor says:
1t certainly is long step in advance.
If it did nothing else than give the
commission power to inquire into and
expose unjust exaction and to inhibit
unjust Determinations as to rates
and charges which it clearly does
it would be unfortunate if it should
fail Of enactment But it does go
further, in that it confers upon the
Utilities Board in the strongest Ian
guage possible power to compel safe
and adequate service by all utilities
companies Under this power proper
and safe car service can be required
To be compelled to hang upon straps
should soon cease. approve the act
in order that the principle may be
established and the act made a basis
to build future legislation upon which
shall be more effective. There must
always be beginning. If l should
veto this bill, / am quite sure I
should greatly please some people
whom have reason to believe have
only withheld opposition in the hope,
if not the belief, that l would veto
it, and they could then intervene and
prevent any legislation and allege
that the executive, who has been in
sisting upon a public utilities bill,
had refused a fair one, and thus at
tempt to throw the responsibility up
on him. do not propose that any
of those now caught in this weak net
shall be permitted to wiggle out
through any act of mine

RabY sleepIess VIA, Awful Itching.

When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradual
ly grew worse. We called in doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to keep
him from scratching. He never knew
what it was to sleep well from the
time he took the disease until he was
cured. He kept us awake all hours
Of the night and his health wasn't
what you would call good. We tried
everything but the right thing.
Finally / got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see II it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. | hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason

The Height of Waves.

There is great deal of romance
about the stories that are told about
the height of sea waves. They are
not as high as the imagination,
coached by these stories, would make
them out to be. The height of the
wave generally depends upon the size
of the body of water in which they
appear. For instance the highest
wave on the Lake of Geneva is nine
feet; on Lake Superior, twenty-three
feet: in the Mediterranean, thirty
feet; in the Atlantic, from forty to
fifty feet. In measuring the height
of a wave the reckoning should be
top of the wave to the level of the
sea, and not, as is often done, from
the trough of the sea to the top OF
the wave.-New York American.

Fight For Child in Court

Almost crazed with grief when the
Court ruled that she must give her
little granddaughter into its fathers
keeping, Mrs. Marie Thomassin Gre
ated a scene in the Chaneery Court
before Vice Chancellor Garrison in
Jersey City. Women who had gone
to the Court to watch the proceedings
took sides. There was free-for-all
fight, in which the Court attendants
had to separate the combatants Ed
gar B. Thomassin, widower, had
begun proceedings against his mother
to recover possession of his four-year-
old daughter, Louise. Mrs. Thomas
sin said she had promised Louise's
mother on her deathbed that she
would be mother to the child until
the girl became of age, and she de-
clared that it would break her heart
as we'll as the child's if taken to a
new home When the Court rendered
it's decision Mrs. Thomassin, at first
dazed, declared that her sons suit
was inspired by spite. She dropped
to her knees before her son and
pleaded to be allowed to keep the
child another day. AS Thomassin
agreed to this woman approached
him and said Don't be fool; take
your daughter while you can Your
mother will spirit her away if you
don't" Then started the struggle,
which was not ended until Sergeant
Haggerty had to interfere and help
Thoma ssin literally tear his scream-
ing child from the arms of his moth
er. to whom the little one had chung.

Confession OF Ex-Whip Stewart In
wolves Health Director Walters
SeIectmen Took 500 to $1,000.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Dr. e r. Walters,
ex-President Of the Select Council,
who now 10 Director of Public Health
and Charities, was indicted for ac-
cepting a $1,000 bride Fifteen other
ex-Selectmen, none of whom hitherto
have been mentioned, we're named
also in the Grand Jury's report as
having received amounts from 500
to $1,000. The indictments make
total of ninety-one in three reports of
the Grand Jury within two weeks.
Thirty more officials, directors and
employees of the six banks alleged to
have paid money to obtain an ordi-
nance naming them as city deposit
tories and four local express agents
were before the Grand Jury, which
was seeking to trace the SAB, 900 sent
or taken to New York City to be
passed over there to Charles Stewart,
ex-whip of the Council.
The indictments were based upon
the confession of Stewart that he
had distributed to these sixteen men
$4,000 to buy their votes in favor
of the bank ordinance
t. H. Given, president of the Farm
ers' Deposit National Bank, and Presi-
dent Emil Winter, of the Working
mems Savings Bank, we're among
those who testified. The progress
of the Grand Jury in its probe for
the men higher up" was not dis
closed, but progress was made and
the naming Of bigger men is certain
to come soon.
Captain John Klein went to the
Western Penitentiary. and, following
his irrepressible attitude since his
confession, called up the Sheriff from
Warden Francis Office and told that
official he had better come down the
river with his commitment" if he
wished to serve it.
Klein, unless he is pardoned, which
is not at all unlikely, will serve three
and half years. His voluntary trip
to the penitentiary, accompanied only
by two county detectives, was taken
to mean that the District Attorney
and Grand Jury were through with
him, having gained all the informa-
ton the little riverman is able to
furnish
Clerkships in different shops have
been provided at the penitentiary for
William w. Ramsey, Joseph WATSON
and William Brand, who have begun
serving sentences for participation in
the Councilmanic bribery scandal.
Ramsey was formerly bank presi-
dent. Brand and WATSON were mem
bers of Common Councils.
