Marx waa educated in the public schools, gradu­ating at the ago of 17 from the High School, than under the chargo of Prof. Tuthill, with a knowledge of Latin as trail aa of other studies which enabled him to paaa the examinations and enter Harmed without further preparation.

The young man followed hia college course with a course of study in the Law Bchool of Columbia University and waa admitted to the bar in 1896.

The Carthage correspondent of the Watertown Times apeaking of the ayatem in that village aaya:

The first publio teat of the workings of tho patent fire alarm ayatem, re centlv invented by Trainmaster B P. Ketcham of tbia village, waa made Saturday St noon. The operations of the device were like clockwork and were aucceanful in every measure The teat fu l ly ,met the hopeaandex pectationa of the inventor anfi drew forth conaiderable applauae from the crowd of spectators The alarm waa aeot in by Chief John Thorpe from a push button located near hia houae on West street Simultaneously with the falling of the drop indicating the number of ths alarm box, the weight whioh ia wound on a drum in the top of (he lower of Firemen a hall waa re leased snd the fire bell began lo sound. During the 50 aeconde required for the weiaht to fall the bell aounded 75 strokea. This can be doubled. The electrical apparatus waa made by the North Electric company at Cleveland, O. The Indicator which reaemblee the exchange board in a central tele­phone office ia located in the hoae cart room on the aouth aide of the Firemen's h a l t The mechanical ap

Piratus was made by the Ryther ot ringle company of this village and

ia located in the tower of the building. Now that the teat of the system haa proven ao auoceaaful it is for the vil lege board to take stepa to ercure its purchaae and provide for the installs lion of a sufficient number of alarm boxea in different parts of the village.

Senator Piatt's recent oonferencoa with republicans above and below the New York city line, have already, it ia aald, produced good results.

On the situation regarding the head­ship of the party in the state caused by the conduct and utteranoea of Gov. Odell and hia frienda. some light may be gathered from almoat the laat worda Senator Piatt aaid before leaving the city. He aaid that he would continue to devote himself to the welfare of the republican party Mand keep the lead erahip until I am dead.

ALBANY, Jan, 18.— The legislative session for 11H)4 is now in full swing and this week will see it v * down to business. Iu all prob.hiliiy it will be one of the shortest M^MOON m recent years. On account of the hold ing of the Republican National, state and congressional conventions at an early date and the necessity in conte quenoeof early caucuses the members will beanirtoua to return to their baili wicka to repair, if need be, any weak­ened portion of their fences. During the first days of the session bills rush

I in but they scarcely ever amount to much. The session thitwriner will be known aa the canal session. The most important legislation of the winter will be upon this matter and there are of course many different opinions on what should he done toward raiding* the money to meet the amount new* sary for thi* enormous expenditure. By the end of this week something definite can be told KS to the course to be pursued by the mejority during the present sesaion.

I A comparison of the committee list for t he session of 1901 shows that Ht. Lawrence county fared as well, if not betu-r in its representation on commit tec* than anv other county in the state, ; This is mada so from the f »ct that this county is not eternally changing its representatives. The F R F K PRESS has a i w ^ s contended that the longer a member serves the better qualified he it to render more efficient service and thf reby accom-

Elish a greater a'liount ot work for is district. In the committee assignments As

aemblyman Piank f».» n the first 8t. Lawrence <i.istiii;t Undtd the chair manahipof ihe rxHsecommittee which ia considered one nf the bent in the legislature l ie i<* a'so a member of ways and m»atj*. the greatest of them all and is also on internal aiFairs an other i moor tan t committee.

Assemblyman Merritt of the second district is made chairman of the com­mittee on general laws which is the most important with the exception of ways at d means in the legislature. Mr. Merritt has served two years on this committee and ia perfectly famil­iar wuh the work as well as with the general statutes of the state. His se­lection is a wise one. Mr. Merritt is «!*•> a member on fisheries aud game and trades and manufactures. Bt. Lawrenoe county has fared well and both Aasemblyman Plank aud Merritt are to be congratulated.

V A gubernatorial 000m was launched

here last week for Ht. Lawrence coun­ty 'a able and popular senator, George Ii. Malby. It is staled that he would have the backing of Governor Odell, who it ia understood, will not be a candidate again under any circum-atancee. It is *afe to say, however, that if Senator Malby becomes an ac­tive candidate, he will be the candi­date of hia party and not of any one man. The aenator haa a reputation of being the most independent man polit­ically in the atate legislature. At the head of his party in his county, ad­mired at home not only by the prom­inent leaders of the Republican partv butof the Democrats as well, serving his preeent term by a unanimous election having been the candidate of both the Republican and Democratic parties in his district, with a reputation through­out the state of the strictest integrity and honor and an unflinching loyalty to his partv. Senator Malby would make a aplendid and vote catching candidate.

The New York Sun, editorially, paid Senator Malby a merited and de served compliment It said: "The Senator is an excellent and most ac oompliahed man, whom St. Lawrence county in particular and the State in

Seneral love to honor, but he fo far too isceraing in the matter of poluHii

legacies, and too modest withal, to ad­mit of his figuring in the role ascribed to him. Senator Malby is wise, even unto discretion."

* The election of a superintendent of

public instruction by the legislature will not be held until the second week in February. Whoever is elected by the leaders will have to run in opposi­tion to the present incumbent of the office for Charles K. Skinner's friends declare that they will fight for his re­election. The legislators from the Northern counties will probably vote for Mr. Skinner. There is much doubt expressed as to the outcome of this bitter controversy between the state de­partment of public instruction and the state board of regents.

*** Considerable amusement has W n

caused over what is alleged to have been a comedy of errors in the mix up of two namea bearing the same initial*. Tbe New York and Albauy newspa­pers, shy of a good legislative story made a very readable one, although not cl inging at all to the facta, out of Clerk Baxter's appointments of clerks for the present session. There were two candidates for positions by the name of Chaa. H. Clark, one hailing from Chenango county, the other from St. Lawrence. Neither knew that there was another by the same name. Both positions Carried the same salary. One waa appointed assistant index clerk, the other deputy clerk. W hen it was learned that there were two men by the same name then there waa a de aire to know which waa which. This was ascertained and the two Clarks are perfectly satisfied both holding two of the prominent positions in the legislature. All's well that enda well." The legislative correspondents have had a good story and the two uufortu nate victims of the same name are happy and contented.

Anderson Lawrence, for a quarter of a century chief messenger of the assembly, who has known more public men in this state than any other in­habitant, officiated for the last time at/ the drawing of aeata of the members of assembly. He has retired. The official thanks of the assembly were extended to him.

The subject of good road8 will re ceive its full share of attention thia winter, nearly everyone being in favor of the improvement of the highways. This matter agitates the farmers far more than the canal matter and moat of them have it much more at heart.
