Mr.. Edison's storage battery car is
to be thoroughly tried out in this
county for interurban purposes. and
that is fitting, since 1t was In his West
Orange laboratory the great inventor
developed the battery which makes
such cars possible.
The CALDWELL enville course, over
which the line will run, is admirably
suited to experimental purposes. 1t
has enough severe grades to thoroughly
test the new cars. The public is for
tunate, also, that this course was
chosen, as 1t traverses a wonderfully
beautiful country. When the line is
completed a very effective addition will
have been made to the splendid trolley
tours now possible In and about New
ark.
Promoters of the new road declare
that 1t can be completed before the be-
ginning Of summer and If that predic-
ton is found to be true another
advantage OF the storage a over the
trolley-car for certain work will have
been demonstrated. as much more time
would be required for putting in q troll

.:o11zEr TO CALVARY"

| st Paul's Church was crowded last
evening to hear the choir render
Mannder's "Oliret to Calvary. !" The
soloists were Mrs. DSDier whose t"c
numbers, Another Temple Waits
Tbse'' and "Droop Sacred Head, were
most artistically sung. The burden of
the work fell on Mr.. Ogden and Mr..
Franklin, and they we're equal to the
occasion. Mr. Ogden was never heard
to better advantage, his beautiful tenor
being particularly effective in the reci-
talire and 20 was there ever lone
illness like His" Mr.. FrankliD vas in
good voice ami sang with deep feeling
his solo, A new commandment give !
unto yon," being one Of his best
numbers. The quartette was assigned
to Messrs. Penick, Strider, Thompson
and Phillips OF the Theological Semi
nary, and this number was one OF the
best in the service. The violin solo OF
Miss Kast at the offertory was much
enjoyed. The soloists were supported
by a we'll balanced chorus OF 10 voices
who sang With precision OF attack
large volume Of tone and fine moduia-
ton. It was universally conceded that
this condition as whole aud par
ticuarly the chorus work, was the
finest ever heard in Alexandria. The
members OF the choir were shoWered
with congratulations IN their success
snd with expressions OF appreciation
for giving the large congregation
present the opportunity Of hearing sucn
beautifully rendered music. The
choir leader and organist, Mr., Sherman
B. Fowler, under whose direction the
service was sung, surely deserves
mention, for it is due 10 his faithful
service and uutiring work that the
choir is able to render such affective
work. His musical ability is not only
known and appreciated in Alexandria
but by his contemporaries in the Wash
ington musical circles, who always take
advantage Of any opportunity to near
the work Of his choir.

idea OF democracy Which makes an
efficient representative government anu
the officers OF the organization elective.
The petition will lie Sent to Dr.. I. II.

Democratic Programme.

Washington, April 12.-WiIh reel
procity and free trade as a slogan, the
democratic House today prepared for
swift acrion along definitely fixed
line. After o spirited cancus that lasted
far into last night the tangled leglsla-
tive situation was cleared and the fol
lowing programme arranged: The Taft
Canadian reciprocity agreement. A
blanket free list bill embracing the nec'
essaries OF life. A caucus within two
weeks to decide the attitude OF the new
majority toward revision OF the wool
and cotton schedules OF the tariff.
The direct election OF United States
senators, the publicity OF campaign
contributions before election. and the
admittance OF New Mexico and Arizona
under their new constitutions, were
made party measures. The vote on
reciprocity WAS 12S ayes, % noes, ard
6 absent. A paragraph was tackled
on the bill, directing President TAFT to
begin further negotiations for the e.
t.nsion OF the reciprocity scheme to
practically free trade with Canada.
Reciprocity will be reported by the
WAYS and means committee immedi-
atcly and will be put through with
rush. The democrats are prepared to
make speed from start to finish, and 10
get the Taft agreement out OF the way.
They are depending on President Tafts
premise that lie will not prorogue con-
gress immediately after the passage OF
reciprocity, but will give the democrats
IN opportunity to clean up their pro-
gramme.
A resolution by Representative
Rucker passed the caucus almost unan-
imously, being directed at the Colorado
legislature, 1t read: We realize We
arc impotent to enact the laws we think
the country demands without aid from
tie Senate. We therefore trust and
hope that q democrat may be quickly
elected from your state to the United
States Senate, to aid US in our fight for
the people. /"
With whoop and hurrah the demo
Gratis today made final arrangements
for the immediate passage through the
House of bills providing for:
Direct election of senators. Public
ity OF campaign contributions tefore
elections. Joint statehood for New
Mexico and ATiz"na.
All three are to be rushed into the
House tomorrow and pushed through.
About three or four hours will suffice
for the passage OF each measure and
they will be sent over for the senate
10 worry about while the House
cleans up on reciprocity and the tariff,
Mr.. Ruckcr, (dcm. NO. chairman
OF the committee on the election OF
