The following letter has been handed us by its receiver, with re- quest that the name of the writer be withheld for private reasons. He is is wealthy builder of ele. - trie railroads in a large Michigan city and what he says is worth con- sidering. Here is the letter: Mich., July 21, 1900. Chas. McCarty, Dear Sir: I notice your village is iin|M»rtun- ed to grant franchises for electric lines. While I much doubt one ever l»eingconstructed, (as I doubt if promoter can prove to capital that it will pay.) I do believe it would l>e a good thing for your town and help build up. But 1 would say to you go slow in granting to any company a franchise; and not do so only as they can make a showing that they are pecuniarily able to build, and then reserve for others that one first demonstrating they aie able, etc. 1 have hail considerable experience in this as a promoter, and if lean give you any points call me. Do not be in too much haste, take time to submitt requests and be posted on what your people re- quire. as well a» promoter, I would encourage any one, only- know what you are granting and what the effect. It takes a pot of money to build railroads and not every chump has it and whoever comes will ask for a bonus. Fix it so it will not be wasted. Kindly yours. A BROKEN LEG. JAMES LOVELY OF BOSTON KICKED BY AHORSE. A Shirt Factory for Loss of f1,600. The statement in the Herald yes- terday to the effect lhat Samuel T. Kinsey of this city had asked the village.of Lowell to take up a mort- gage of $1,600 on his shirt factory there, for which he would bind him- self to employ upwards of 60 hands for a period of five years, after which the village would redeed him the property, was erroneous in some paniculars. There is not a dollar against the property and the prop- osition made by Mr. Kinsey was that the village give him a bonus of of *1,600, providing he would stay therefor five years and as an evi- dence of good faith, be would em- ploy upwards of 60 hands. At the end' of five years he will deed them the property.—[Grand Rapids Her- ald. This is certainly a very (air prop- osition and one that the people of Lowell cannot afford to let pass. It practically means that for a loan of $1,600 for five years, Mr. Kinsey will start a factory heie employing sixty bands. We understand that it has been proposed to call a special election of the village to decide by popular vote whether the council shall ap- propriate $1,600, now in the tieas- ury and available, for that purpose. By all means, let the people vole on it. Il may l»e a good idea to lake an expression as to the public wishes on the electric railway franchise. Let's vote on that too. TWO FINE* HOHHES- One Leg Brokea Above the Knee. James Lovely, an old resident of Boston township, was kicked by- one of his horses, Tuesday evening, and had one of his legs broken above the knee. Dr. McDanell reduced the frac- ture. Mr. Lovely had been in Lowell that afternoon. After getting home, passed this horse in the stable, brushing its heels. The animal— a favorite—bad its head buried in the manger and as bis master did not speak to him was startled at the sudden touching and kicked with result as aforesaid. Mr. Lovely does not blame the horse; says if he had spoken, all would have been well. A YACHTING PARTY. L0WELL1TES BUY A YACHT AND START FOR A Bought la Chicago For G.W.Parker of Lowell. Chicago, HI.—The well-known horseman, R. P. Waters, has pur- chased forG. W. Parker, of Lowell, the celebrated stallions, Linwood and Beach wood, it will be remember- ed that Linwood was used by J. G. McFerran, the famous breeder of Louisville, Ky., and was sold lo Banker John L. Wabacotte of Chicago, for $-20,000. He is by the famous sire Nutwood, and is a full brother lo Enright, 2:08 1-4, for wbom Pabst, ihe rich Milwaukee brewer, paid $25,000. Beach wood is two years old and is a wonder.— [Grand Rapids Democrat. V Tour of the Great Lakes la the "Argo." Our townsman, M. C. Griswold of the Lowell Slate bank, who in bis younger days was an able sea- man, went to a Wisconsin port lasl week and purchased the schooner- rigged yacht, ''Argo," of Chicago, and brought her back to Grand Ha- ven. Messrs. Geo. 11. Force of Lowell and W. E. Keeler of Mid- dleville are parties to the purchase. The Argo is 50 feet long with a 15-foot beam, and is described as a very pretty boat. Capt. David Miller of Grand Haven, an exper ienced lake sailor, will have charge of the boat. A cook has been en gaged and a lour of the I^kes is contemplated. The parly, which expects to get under way today, is made up of the following; Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Griswold, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Force Harold Force, and Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Keeler. It has been agreed thai newspaper subscriptions are an infallible lest of a man's honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man. If he is dishonest be will cheat the printer some way—declare he has paid when he has not—sent monqy in the mails which was lest—will take the paper and not pay for it on the ground that he never subscrib- ed for it—or move off and leave il coming lo the office he has left. Thousand of alleged Christians are dishonest in this particular, at least, and the printer's book will tell fear- ful tales at the final judgement. —Ex.

The tTvn people who were speak ing Were sluing together on a boulder by tr'-. seashore of one of our pre t t ies t ^Aferlnp places. It was early October, ind although it had been a la te season,

I tl< iown looked white and clean, snil l-
j Vh' the au tumn ffttnahlne. A tho r -c J j ^ , dbvcnt lonal EngllRh scene, rathe girl Jierp. If was a thnrough-
y convent ional Engl i sh girl. He r d a r k d u e eyes were brown and of a so f t
t e x t u r e ; her f a r e a perfect oval, with a l i t t l e s q u a r e chin. Into which the re had been prensed, as by some loving finger, the pret t ies t dimple In the world. A ta l i , s l ight figure, t h a t gave promose oT n fuller , ample r w o m a n -hood: a c lear wh i t e sk in , flushed rosy, and lashes nml eyebrows many s h a d e s d a r k e r t h a n her h a i r completed a whole thnt was very capt iva t ing . S h e was dressed, too, convent ional ly , ail-though t he blue serge dress a n d Jacket fitted h e r a s only a t a i lo r -made gown can fit. A l i t t le sai lor ha t was prrchefl upon h e r head In jus t t he most ultec-t lve m a n n e r possible.
But a t th i s m inu t e the d a r k blue eyes looked troubled, tho p r e t t y h a n d s were clasped round her knees, a n d flhe was looking seawards and a w a y f r o m the xuan by her side. He, too. looked t roubled . It had cost Alan Mackenzie a good deal to record t he e v e n t s of his life, a n d t o speak of tho young wi fe he had lost four years ago. He h a d w a n t -ed t he pas t to bo pas t ; a n d a l t hough Veronica ' s memory w a s dea r a n d sweet
\to h im, and tho girl herself h a d been •loving and tender , ye t It seemed to him h a r d to b r i ng up the dead past . T h e r e was such a chasm be tween t h a t tllfo a n d this, such a d i f ference be-jtween t he dark-eyed, ha l f -Span ish gir l Ihe had wooed u n d e r tho br i l l i an t Sou th jAmerlcan ekles and th i s gi r i w h o m he Iwas wooing beside t he t umb l ing Eng-ilish sea, t h a t i t o f t en seemed to Alan ^Mackenzie t h a t he mus t be a n en t i r e ly a i f f e r e n t person.
H e leaned fo rward and looked a t Hier. She had her face t u rned t o w a r d s ;the Eta, r.o t h a t ho could ju s t see t he vlellcate profile ou t l ined aga in s t t he •blue sky , could Just see t h e p ink ear (nest l ing aga in s t t he colls of her ha i r , h t w a s no t for her beau ty a l o n e tha t he loved Joyce Grenvl l le . He fe l t t h a t ishe was his equal In most , h i s supe r io r In some, th ings . He and she t o g e t h e r , he t h o u g h t , could l ive t he perfect ma r -r ied life. And now t h e r e was tho s h a d o w of poor Veronica to conic a n d t h r o w a gloom over the i r wooing. V e r -on ica . whom he had never loved l ike t h i s g i r j ; Veronica, fo r w h o m h e had h a d ' i h e t enderes t protoct lve pi ty, bu t t h a t was all. ^
And now he looked a t Joyce , a n d fe l t t o t he fu l l t h a t If he lost h e r he lost eve ry th ing t h a t made l ife w o r t h l iving: t h a t l i fe w i thou t Joyce would bo incomplete , and t h a t a!,' h i s success in l i fe—and he w a s by no means disposed t o unde r -v a l u e tha t—would mean n o t h i n g to h i m w i t h o u t Joyce. SI. ; was so desirable , w a s Joyce, wi th her h igh bred. B r i t -J s h a i r , and wi th all t he qual i t ies t h a t he knew her to possess, and wlLb t h a t f a c t s t a r ing h im ful l in tho face t h a t he l oved 'kc r , and her alone.
loved h i m for t ha t very t r u t h f u l n e e s , which would hide n o t h i n g f r o m her.
" I wish you had not told me , " she said. F o r a moment she t h o u g h t t h a t th is rea l ly u a s so. and tha t she would r a t h e r n o t have k n o w n ; It w a s only m o m e n t a r y , however.
" W o u l d you r a t h e r n o t b a t e k n o w n ? " he said, a n d looked a t her reproachfu l ly . "Joyce , I h a t o hav ing to give you th is pa in ; bu t I have al-ways t hough t t ha t t he very essence of mar r ied happlnesn lay in t he f a r t t ha t husband and wife hod no s ec re t s f r o m each o the r . "
"Did you tell her e v e r y t h i n g ? " a s k e d Joyce, woman- l ike .
"No , deares t . God forb id t h a t I should wish to depreca te t he girl who loved m e go well; hut s h e was not y o u r equal . She was s imp ly a pure, swee t , loving w o m a n ; but s h e would no t have unders tood. She had pre t ty ways of m a k i n g a house homel ike and c h a r m i n g ; but she had b u t very l i t t le « l u c a t l a n . •! could not h a v e told her e v e r y t h i n g . Joyce, you know all about o u r brief mar r ied Ilfo now. I don ' t bel ieve t h a t you—I don ' t believe t h a t you wouid bo Jealous of t he dead wo-m a n . .Now tell me s t r a igh t out If you wi l l m a k e mc happy. I d o n ' t t h ink you know or can guess w h a t you a r e to me. How my whole l i fe a n d soul nro bound up In you, how empty my Ilfo would be wi thou t you. I t h ink If you unders tood t h a t you would forget all abou t the s to ry I h a v e told you. a n d give yourself to me, to hold and t o ke«p as the deares t t h i n g In t h e w o r l d . "
T h e t ea r s w e e s t a n d i n g In h is eyes, ho was so much in e a r n e s t . It seemed to h im as If t he m a k i n g o r the m a r -r i n g of his life was In th i s s lender g i r l ' s hands ; and she was moved, too.
"Of course I mind , dea re s t , " she sa id . "If I did n o t mind so much I should n o t love you so much . J u s t t h i n k how would you l ike It if sc .no o the r m a n had had my first kiss , my f k a t w o r d s of l ove ! "
" I should no t l ike It a t a l l ; I should h a t o It. Joyce," ho sa id , f r ank ly . " I k n e w you would. I should haye asked you to m a r r y m e a yea r ago if I had n o t had th i s pas t beh ind me. I have loved you well enough all tho l ime. It Is only now tha t I have been pre-s u m p t u o u s enough lo t h i n k t h a t you love me a l i t t le t h a t I have spoken ; a n d If you do t r u l y love me, Joyce , you will only be s o r r y fo r all t h a t 1 h a v e suffered In the p a s t . "
Joyce was no t an u n g e n e r o u s gir l , a n d though the re was a cer ta in s t i n g In t he fac t t h a t Alan had suffered t h r o u g h a n o t h e r w o m a n , ye t she could feel it In h e r hea r t t o pi ty tho girl w h o had only been A l a n ' s wife fo r f o u r months , and w h o had died in so t r ag i c a m a n n e r . She rose. "Shal l wo go In to t he o thers , A l a n ? " she said, so f t ly .
But he c a u g h t h e r h a n d . " N o t be-fo re I have had my answer , Joyce. Oh, nol not before I have had my a n -
Don ' t bo cruci , da r l ing! Put mo out of iwiin!"

Immersed In thoughts a n d d r e a m s of her , a n d was not looking ve ry m u c h whero he wm nolng. T u r n i n g a cor-ner s h a r p l y he an up a g a i n s t a m a n w h o seemed a l lubj u n s t e a d y in h i s ga i t .

" I t ' s y o u ! " he cried, a n d he s w o r e aga in .
"Yes , " said Alan, " and I am sor ry t o sec you like ihls . Can I do any-t h i n g fo r you. H u t c h J n s o n ? "
" D o a n y t h i n g for m e ? Vou? I'll t r ip you y e t ! " cried t ho man , hlo ha t r ed Hashing like a kn i fe . " D o you t h i n k I have forgot ten how you got mo t u r n e d out , how you ruined me? No! And I will be even wi th you yet if I h a n g fo r It! And t h e r e ' s t h a t gi r l of mine , too!

" W e l l , " said Alan, coolly, "I would have helped you If you would have let me; no l l ha t I regard your th rea t s . It was your own d ishones ty and n o t h i n g else tha t was your ru in . And as for the gir l , you a r e r i gh t the re . I ma r -r ied her, a n d she w a s d r o w n e d ; b u t she was no daugh te r of yours , and you k n e w It."
H u t c h i n s o n ' s su rp r i se got t he be t t e r of his caut ion. " I b rought her up ," he said, "even If she was no t my own. In a way she was mine . And so you m a r r i e d he r . did y o u ? And now you say she Is dead."
"Sho Is dead, poor cou l ! " said Alan. "Died In the wreck of t he 'Va lpara i so ' f o u r yea r s ago; and I 'm lo be mar r ied aga in . I wish you would let me help you , H u t c h i n s o n ! "
