A BOLD PLOT.
Disgraceful Attempt of Young New
Yorker to Capture an Heiress.

Disgraceful Attempt of Young New
Yorker to Capture an Heiress.
NEW YORK. January 9-The Sunday
papers contained a formal announcement
of the private marriage OF Walter Phelps
Dodge, nephew OF Congressman William
Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, to Miss
Lillian May, the 17-year-oId daughter OF
Thomas Stokes, an heiress to $4,000, 900.
The story was instantly denied by both
families, young Dodge himself having re-
sorted to a published a card, in which he
announced himself as the victim of a cruel
hoax. and clared his intention to hunt
out the pc rpetrator of the joker and punish
him as he deserved. Tonight the astonnd
ing announcement is made thatDodge him
self was tue author OF the story; that he
himself caused it's publication. and tnat the
whole move was
PART OF PLAN
to force Miss Lillian into marriage with
himself and thus gain control of her mill
ions. A written confession to this effect
was signed by the young man at the Buck
ingham Hotel Monday night and was made
public this evening. 1t was obtained from
him only after he had been confronted with
indisputable proof OF his share in the Of
fense. His father. Prof. D. Stuart Dodge,
was a witness to the signature OF thepaper,
and so was lawyer who is said to have
been retained by young Dodge in an action
which he proposed bringing against the
Stokes family for
DEFAMING HIS CHARACTER.
Miss Stokes mother died only six months
ago, and the publicity given her name in
this connection has proved all the more
painful on that account. Dodge was her
second cousin, but she had never met him
until Christmas Day.
As result of the consultation between
representatives OF the two families held
to-day young Dodge has been given the
choice between leaving the country for five
years or taking his chances AS defendant
in a criminal proceeding. The young man
embraced the former alternative and left
for Canada tonight.

SIT ANNE's FESTIVAL.

As will be seen in our advertising col umns, festival will be opened in the Peoples theatre this evening for the bene- fit of St Anne's new chapel This is an object which appeals with peculiar force to the generosity of the citizens of Water bury.
 The congregation over which the Rev Father Zones presides, made up of the French speaking Catholics of Waterbury are laboring under a heavy burden in their efforts to provide suitable place to prac- tice the duties of their religious faith3 Comparatively few in numbers and made up chiefly of unskilled artisans whose wages are relatively meagre, the financial obligations involved in their religious practices are discharged at personal sac rifce that is as commendable as it is in some cases sublime. Their fellow citizens of Waterbury, regardless of nationality or creed, should encourage them in their efforts and lenda a helping hand by sub- stantial sympathy and liberal patronage of their festival
 Devotion to religion, while it is not in-
 
 variably synonymous with sound morality and honest department, may be regarded as an element of correct citizenship, and its encouragement should be pleasure and a privilege to the patriotic portion of the community. The French speaking portion of our population are as class law-abiding, peaceable and industrious, and they should be encouraged in the cul tiyation of the virtues that go to make good citizens. In their efforts to build up their religious ,edifces and educational struc- turers they should meet with the kindly sympathy and support of all classes of the community.
 A generous attendance and an unstinted iberality should be accorded to the fes- tival for the benefit of St Anne's new chapel

1 ,25o, 600 over the popular vote of four years ago From the figures IS compiled by the Herald it appears that Cleveland has 20 34 per cent of the entire vote, and Harrison 1865 per cent, leaving but Q trife over ? per cent for the prohibition, labor and other candidates in the contest.
 The. country is evidently democratic on the popular vote, and if our elections were conducted in true accord with the spirit of republican institutions we would be spared the anomaly of seeing q president chosen when q plurality of voters had elected another. It looks as though tFe states wore greater than the people.

Workers on q Big Daily.

To show the complete satisfaction of most editors with their present corps of workers, it is necessary only to quote the remark of an editor of one of the leading New York dailies. To a young man whosawriting he greatly admired, and was always willing to use, he recently said: ~M
 ''We never discharge our people They either resign or die"
 The editor of another equally prominent journal said:
 'We would seem to have an entirely ca pablo staff. Moreover, fully twenty of our writers could be dispensed with at this mo- ment, and when the paper comes out to- morrow its readers would not detect any change It would be as complete as before" Tho Writer

CLEVELAND AHEAD.

The idea that is finding favor in many qual ters of doing away With the electoral college, allowing the people to vote direct 1y for the candidates for president and vice president, and making plurality of the popular vote the condition of success is strengthened by the figures of the recent election. Like Morgan G. Bulkeley, who will be chosen governor after being beaten by the people, General Harrison will be elected president after having been defeated on the popular vote.
 Sufficiently complete returns ate in from the different states to show nearly or quite the exact popular vote of the country for president and vice president. According to footings made by the Boston Herald, Cleveland has plurality over Haarison of 79,A99 votes, Cleveiand's vote being 5,569, ,990 to Harrison's 5,49O,- 491 The official figures may make some changes in this estimate, but it seems substantially assured that Cleye- land is ahead of Harrison on the popular vote The entire vote of the country was Il ,2S5, ,Ss5, which is an increase of about

The Russian and the Asiatic.

The fact is that in dealing with Asiatic affairs the semi zAsiatic Russian must neces- sarily have at every stage decided edvant- age over the thoroughly European English man. John Bull, when compelled by circum- stances to do anything discreditable tor, what is the same to him, s'un- -English'9. always consoles himself by doing 1t as badly as pos sible. If he has to employ bribery lIe invari- ably bribes the wrong man. If forced to tell a lie he tells it so clumsily that no one but a child or fool could possibly be deceived by it. If he attempts to play off one savage tribe against another he usually succeeds in uniting both against himself. Tho Russian, on tho other hand, throws his whole heart and soul into the congenial task of deceiving his neighbor, and is never disturbed by any thing so absurd as Q conscientious scruple in the exercise of the great tart wherein he excels all the children of men, viz, that of saying one thing and meaning another.-David Ker in New York Times.

The Descent; Is Ran;ts.

Then there is another class that are not so fastidious about the method in which charity is bestowed. These arc the people (nsually mem who go about all day asking dime from any passer by who they think would be likely to let them have it and then immedi- ately blowing it in for beer. When night comes and it is too cold to sleep out of doors, they are forced to seek the station house or the Wayfarers' lodge There are few de- serving men in this class who are really out of work and who would work if they could find any to do, but the major portion of them are moving on continually because they are afraid if they remain too long in one place they would be given something to do-and this they dread And from life of this kind the transition to that of tramp is but few steps, and if the conditions are ripe the de- scent is rapid.-Boston Globe.

New Jerser,s subrnerred rorests.

Geology can assign no date to the sub- mergence of noble cedar forests that once covered southern New Jersey, and whose buried monarchs are of more value than all the other trees of that land of the musquito. All that is known is that great logs in count less numbers lie under the mud and sand: that they are as sound as when first buried, and that it pays" to dig them up and con vert them into shingles, buckets, etc. The amber that delights the hearts of thousands, the cowry gum of New Zealand that supplies the world with material for yarnish, and the cedar mines of New Jersey, go to show that forests dead and gone may be of greater value than trees of today.-Pi Pittsburg BulIe- fin

TRADES unions in various places have begun to agitate for increased wages. They ought to have them, as the repubh- cans were profuse in their claims that liar rison's success meant better pay for labor. But it isn't very likely that the republicans will have any use for the workingmen now until 1899. Then they will love them like brothers once again.

CHARLEY MITCHELL is certainly quail fed-if experience is a teacher-to give a correct opinion concerning the amount of pain that is done up in a we'll delivered left or right. According to Charley, who is quoted as giving his judgment to Mary Anderson the actress on their recent trip to America, blow does not hurt much at the time it is received. "A soldier" says Mitchell ''does not always feel wound until after the battle. But blow from sach man as Sullivan, for instance, bears with it it's pain, though the pain may not be felt at once" Anyone who doubts this opinion is invited to step up and try it for himself.

TIRE NEW HAVEN PRIMARIES.

As @ result of the ward primaries held last evening in New Haven Town Agent Reynolds will again be chosen to head the town ticket in the election next Tuesday. This is a c0so where merit is appreciated by all save those whose interest in New Haven is secondary to personal malice ard hatred. For ten years MT Reynolds has been at the head of town affairs in New Haven, and never in the history of the town have it's affairs been so iadiciously, economically and hunanely administered.
 The remarkable showing made by his annual report which was given to the pub lie in last Sundays Register proves anew that he is the right man in the right place. According to this report, the total expenditure since the last annual statement is about $150,000 less than the preceding year It would have been in the neighborhood of S250, ,000 or $260, ,000 but for the expense incu4 ed in the construction of 11ew aims house Every bill of expense contracted by his office during the past year is item ized, and there is not single mention in the reporS of the word tsundriesn The almshouse and outside poor accounts, where the results of economy and prudence are most strikingly shown, make partie- ularly good showing fof MT Reynolds management. There is reduction of over S12 ,000 in the expense of conducting the almshouse, which speaks volumes for MT Reynolds and the officials who are as scciated with him in its conduct. The outside poor accornt,. owing to the great blizzard of last March and an unusual amount of sickness, shows very small in- crease, and in the maintenance of the towns insane patients a saving of $4 GOO is shown over the preceding year.
 With such report revealing to the tax payers and voters of New Haven the judicious management of town affairs dur ing the past year, the machinations of Q bitter personal enemy might be expected U prove fruitIess. It is probable, however, that this man will carry his hostility to the polls next Tuesday as he has done on pre- yious occasions, but the good sense of the taxpayers and voters may be expected to defeat his schemes and place again at the head of the town government the man whose management of affairs has been a credit to himself and great advantage to the town. It would be very poor policy to defeat such man because he is ob- noxious to scheming politician whose democracy is only one phase of most elastic political versatility.

THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which ia shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land? No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman 6 Gray, Baus, and Wilcox &1 White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Gall and examine stock.

uILIrAEr sT1uArroN IN EUROPE.


 The military situation in Europe is de- cidedly strained Austria objects to talk isg part in 8 conference of the three enn- perors at Berlin uutil after the withdrawal of the Russian forces concentrated on the Russo-Anst..:an frontier There is now ar rayed close to the Austrian territory the largest cavalry force ever massed under one corslnand. This mobile host is held ready to cut all the Austrian military lines and render impraotieable any concentration agairst the Russian advance through Galieia. In all Russia has more than four hundred thousand men ready for invasion of the Austrian dominions, a menace far moce formidable than that against which 1emonstrance was effectually made year ago. The withdrawal of the Czars forces from the Turkish frontier gives plausibility to the rdmor that Turkey has no longer any danger to apprehend from Russia, but that on the contrary an understanding has been reached between these two powers to thwart the Standardization plan of g transfer UO iGhn& or the Cont'o1 O4 tue Dardanelles
 F ance, Russia and Turkey, with Eng land to aid in case of complications in volring her rights, would make combine ton that would tax the utmost resources of Germany, Austro- Hungary, Italy and their dependencies nlarshaled under the leadership of ''WiIliam the Highfyer :, But that he is energetic in his flights is shown by the New Russian loan of $1o0, coo, eco just raised, chiefly in France. This hitter is significant of the relations between the West-European re- public and the East European empire, and is likewise renewed evidence, if that were needed, of the wonderful energy, resources and reeupefative force of the great French nation.
 If out of the complications that exist in the military politics of Europe a great con ! Efiet should arise, America would be the center to which contending countries would look for their supplies. This would mean an extraordinary influx of prosper ity for our republic, and would thereby mitigate for us some of the horrors that attend mighty conflict of nations, Europe's difficulty would be most decided l ly America's opportunity.
