IRhardly seems as if the pesrons and news papers who speculate upon the chances of de- feat in the legislature of any of the republican candidates for state officers can be in earnest. The object is no doubt to stir up feeling by discrssion. Neither can there be any doubt of the reelection of Senator Hawley, much as the probability of such thing is hinted at by newspapers ostsids of the republican party. The republican who leads of in any move to defeat Gen. Hawley will be a very unpopular man in this state. The use of his name in the late canvass was more strengthening to his party than any other one thing. Yet there are those who recall that the state was carried by the republicans in 1866 largely by the use of Senator Fosters name, and that when the legislature met the same year the majority of the voters were cheated of their preference, and Senator Foster set aside. But this is rather Q reason against than for like occurrence in 1887. That act of treach- cry made many republicans into "mug- wumps," or changed them from earnest work CTS into luke-warm republicans. The party cannot afford another like mistake, and does not intend to make any such suicidal move. Gen. Hawley's defeat by his own party would be @ disadvantage to the republicans of Con necticut, and in lesser degree to the party in the entire nation, recognized as he IS Q man of the nation rather than of any one To- cality

AGITATION for enforcement of the Sunday laws is getting new impetus from working men, ever on the alert to reduce the hours of labor. It ia more sensible to reduce the num- Der of working days to six than to unreason ably shorten the length of the remaining six. The workingmen of the cities are peti- tioning the officials to put obstacles in the way of either merchants or customers turning the Sabbath into shopping day.

Several men who did not want to die have jumped from it with out great injury, and on Monday young fellow who leaped headforemost with sui cidal intent was picked out of the river alive. After one or two more such per formances, both the rapids and the bridge will have lost their attractions for these cratic creatures best described as ''cranks :"

MR. BLAINE refused to shake hands with MT. Edmunds at the Arthur funeral. The day before letter written by MT. Edmunds words which, construed as one naturally would construe them, were a reflection upon
 MT. Blaine's honesty. The Tribune says that Q story comes from Washington as sequel of the affair. It is said that Senator Edmunds since his return to Washington has called in a mutual friend, with whom he has talked it over, and through whom he has sent a mes sage to Mr. Blaine indicating his wish to be- come reconciled It is related that MT. Ed munds in his interview with his friend said, among other things: II am not inclined at my age to hold malice toward any man. have my family to think of and the approach ing end of my life, and do not want to be involved in controversy or bitterness with any man. You may say as much to MT. Blaine from me-" In the discussion of the affair at General Arthur's house which en- sued, Mir. Edmunds is said to have protested that the letter which was published in Boston on the Saturday previous was never written by him with any intention of giving offence or of imputing to Mr. Blaine any such character as the newspapers had made it appear. The general construction put upon the letter was that MT. Edmunds believed MT. Blaine dis honest and dishonorable rman. In response to this intimation the senator replied in en- phatic language: 1T never at any time said or believed that Mir. Blaine was intentionally guilty of dishonorable act or dishonorable deed" The question here of this language of Senator Edmunds has given rise to the be- lief that if the report is accurate reconcilia- ton may be brought about Some of MT. Blaine's friends say that such a statement from MT. Edmunds, made as openly and broadly as the letter which gave offence to MT. Blaine, would result in Mir. Blaine being the first to mak advances for reconciliation.

To friend who once tried to influence General Arthur to make an appointment, which the president declined to do. and who had reminded him that he was anxious that such appointment should be made when he was in private life. General Ar thur said ''I determined when entered this office that President Arthur should be one man and Chester, A. Arthur another, and President Arthur has been obliged to do some things that o. A. Arthur didn't like, and to leave some things undone which O. A. Arthur would have been glad had he seen his way clear to do."

Portland Press Dr. E. D. Hale Temem- bers hearing the late Charles Francis Adams say with considerable feeling "No man who has graduated at Harvard college needs to be told that he who graduates from that institution leaves it unable to meet in debate the blacksmith who has learned to speak as he talked with the neighbors who came to his forge" But since the days of football this has been offset by the inferiority of the blacksmith in rough and-tumble fight.

Meats are cooked in their own juices, mak- ing them tender and healthful, while the sav- ing in weight is over 30 per cent. Bread is made light and porous, and the loaves are fully 25 per cent. larger than those baked in @ close oven. There Is also saving in fuel of 25 per cent The total saving in meat, broad and fuel is sufficient to repay the cost of the range in six months, while it's benef- cial effect on the health of the family cannot be computed in dollars and cents.

William Kurz, eighteen, tried to kill himself by jumping from the Brooklyn bridge at New York, Monday, but was taken out of the river alive and may re- cover. An eye witness says he clung to the rail for minute and then let go. He turned two merssults in the air and fell on his back in the water. He disappeared at once. The water seemed to suck him in and the spray splashed up several feet in the air. When he was picked up he was frothlng at the mouth and was too ex- hausted to speak. His face had a yellow look and his eyes were glassy and vacant in expression. He complained of pain in his head and side and began to rave. At the hospital he was found to be suffering from the shock of the concussion.

The historic marble slab that lay for nearly hundred years upon the grave of General Putnam in Brooklyn, Conn. has arrived at the state library. It is the gift of General William H. Putnam, great grandson of the warrior, and will, after q little prepara' ion be assigned convenient spot So that the public may view it. It has weather beaten appearance. Much of the corners are gone with some of the lettering of President Dwight's now his- toric inscription, but what is left is qnile Iegible and will be traced with pleasure. The removal of the remains of the general from the cAmetary to the site of bhe new monument just north of the Mortlake house, and the failure to utilize the slab anywhere else, together with the growing passion If relic-hunters for fragm ants, rendered tl,i, disposition necessary. It was consider d th4 pub ic's right to l ok upon the relic. The stone was once talk, n from the burial ground by Daniel F. Tyler, another great grandson of the hero, and lodged ill his own house to save 1t from annihila ion. IL WAS felt that to repeat this manHuver would not bo in accord with the spirit of the times.

Its theory is that fresh air. is necessary for perfect cooking The wire gauge allows the fresh air to enter the oven without cooling it. The air passes through the gauge in jets or sprs, s, and by combining chemically with the food prevents shrinkage or loss of weight and renders it easily digested and more nutri- tious. Fresh air is as necessary in the cook ing of the food as it is in it's assimilation after 1t is eaten.
