SNOW FIGURES.

One night during the early part OF
the winter Boss Clark, the city editor
of the New York Sun, called a new
reporter up to his desk.
"The man who handed in the wealth
er story forgot to get the figures ON
the snowfall" he said to the cub. Go
find out just how deep the snow is"
What he wanted the cub to do was
to call up the weather bureau on the
telephone; but the cub, being green
asked the Office joker how to proceed
The Joker handed him the office
space-measuring rule which, instead
of being marked with inches and feet
is spaced off into dollars and cents.
GO over in City. Hall Park, where
the snow is deep and smooth, and
measure it, he said
The cub put on his overshoes and
went Presently he returned and
marched to Boss Clark's desk
well" said Clark, what does the
snowfall come to?'
"A dollar and thirty-four cents!"
said the cub.

the parents mouths and get their
first fishes from the base of the

habit of the pelican may be found the
origin of the myth, European in orr

the fact that the tip or hook which

WOMEN WILL HONOR MEMORY OF DOLLY MADISON TO-DAY

A charming, able and diplomatic first lady of the land" was Dolly Madison, the. better half of James Madison, fourth President of the Uni ted States. whose birthday will be celebrated with great eclat today by the wives and daughters of Democrat ic statesmen at Washington. DOro- thy P Madison, whom the ladies will honor as their patron saint, was born May 20. 1772. and was. a buxom belle of twenty two, a widow, the relict of one Todd, when she captured the heart of the future President. When her husband became Secretary of State under Jefferson she began her reign at the White House, which con-
 tinued during Madison's two terms golden age of Washington society, never since equalled in brilliancy. She habitually used snuff, but it was said that sin her hands the snuff ment with which to charm" While not of the intellectual type, she was a born diplomat, and her amiability and desire to please transformed many of Madison's bitterest enemies into firm friends. Madison was Pres by the last war between Great Bri- tain and the United States, which broke out century ago, and during those troubled times the administra- tion needed all the supporters that Dolly Madfson's tact won for it. Mrs. Madison lived to ripe old age, dy- ing in 1s49, and maintained her social supremacy until the last. For nearly half a century she was the social. ar. bitter and set~. the fashions for all America. A costume worn by Mrs. Madison on a. famous White House occasion is described thus:

Organized for a beneficial purpose, the corporation be- came means of defrauding the pub lie and it's charter became subject to judicial forfeiture, and is forfeited.
 Judge Curtis makes short and con- vincing work of the scaling proposi- tion, which. he says could be of no effect except to show the state of the banks funds, and could not be binding upon the depositors unless all of the assets were included, and the financial lia- bility of the directors ascertained. AL though the honesty of the directors is not impugned, it is found that they have no purpose to ascertain their liability to the bank and it's deposi- tors, and that their action amounts to "a fraud upon the public,' within the meaning of the statute.
 The most notable feature of this transaction is the courts election to name the state bank commissioners as receivers They will serve with out pay and will have no interest ex- cep to liquidate the institution as rapidly and as equitably as possible. The precedent is valuable. It

It is impossible to read the decision of Judge Howard J. Curtis in the Windsor Locks Bank case without feel ing it's legal wisdom and sound com mon sense. This bank was establish ed in 1871, by one A. w. Converse. who, began to steal from the banks funQs.in 1874; and continued to steal cenfinuously until Dec. l. 1910. until his thsfts amounted to $150,0O0. So completely did Converse dominate the affairs of the institution. and so care less and incompetent were his fellow sa<ficers and directors that the facts relating to the embezzlement did not come to their knowledge until Janu- ary, 1912
 The directors then met and at- tempted to scale the deposits in the 5aalk 3he amount of Converse's pecu- lations- plus a sum to be used as a surplus.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IN DULUTH

Public ownership and operation of public utilities has proved a brilliant success in Duluth, according to the tenth annual report of the city water and light department In 1898, when the city brought up the private gas plant. the prevailing rate was s1.s0 per thousand for lighting and $1 for fuel. Four months after the pur- chase the city lowered the lighting rate 25 cents, and each year since the rate has been cut as the department could see it's way. Last year the net nate for general purposes dropped to 75 cents, and the rate for heating and for gas engines was 50 cents net. During the same period the water rate had been gradually lowered until 1t is now only 50 per cent of the former charge.
 All this benefit to the city at large and to the consumer individually has been accomplished against unfavor- able conditions. Duluth is a terraced city::' having its higher level several hundred feet above the lower. It il; built largely on a rocky. foundation which. makes costly excavation for laying pipes, and the rigor of the climate does not make the rendering of service an easy matter. Water must be lifted by stages from one level to another, so that five distinct pumping plants are necessary. The lower system forces water against F290 feet head, and the middle system raises the water by a, second relay to a level of $50 feet.
 E The water mains purchased mea- sured 53 miles, and the system now

NAIVE SIMPLICITAS

That Governor Baldwin was oppos. ed to public utilities legislation, a. Simplicitas asserts. is sheer and i'm pudent lying. He advocated from the first the strongest and best bill; the bill drawn by the states own com mission. which supervised and regu. lated issues of stock and bonds.

has 101 miles. The gas mains pur- chased measured 29 miles, and there are now S4. The use of gas in 1898 amounted to 2O,00o,000 feet, and it. is now 212,000,000, but the daily aver age of water pumped has only in- creased in, ten years from 100000 to 5,2s1, 900. The water rate collected III < the first year of public ownership was ss3 000, and inf 1 sos it was $169,O00, in spite of thes 50 per cent. reduction of rate. By improved installation the city has avoided a serious wastes and it gets double the income from a 50 per cent reduced charge.
 During all this operation, improve ment and extension of. service the two plants have accumulated sur plus of $104.00o, and their experience shows that they can take care of ex- ! penses of operation and maintenance and the bonded debt of $S25,0 900 out of the earnings. But this is perhaps the least interesting part of the show ing, for the reduced rates have all the time served as a saving device for the individual consumer who uses gas and water from the city mains. The aggregate saving in gas rates, IS compared with the old rates charged by the private company. has been ses1,1s5.ss and the aggregate saving in water rate to the consumers has been s5sa,77s.s2., & !, This zin:s a. city, hundreds of miles farther from coal supply than Bridge port. must be regarded as a. pretty fair showing for public ownership. What could Bridgeport do if it were to undertake the furnishing of lgas and water?-
