An Appeal to the democracy of Ohio

The members of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, through
their Secretary, deem it grateful duty
to commend to the patronage of the
Democracy of the State, the publi-
cation of the speeches, with brief
sketch of the life of General Durbin
Ward, deceased.
General Ward gave the services of
the best years of his life to his country
in the field and to the advocacy of
Democratic principles before the peo-
pie. He was not only logical thinker,
but an eloquent orator and political
scholar of rare ability. Above all he
was an uncorrupted, incorruptible and
honest man. While he lived he never
received the recognition at the hands
of his party to which his talents and
sterling merits entitled him. The only
legacy he was able to leave his bereaved
widow was the manuscript of his
speeches, which are well worthy of
preservation and we'll deserve a high
rank in the records of American elo-
quence. 1t is alike but simple justice
to the surviving widow and to our
dead friend and champion that we
tender this tribute to his memory, and
appeal to the Democracy of Ohio to
give q substantial proof of their ap-
probation of noble Durbin Ward "The
Tribune of the People, by subscribing
for this book. Very respectfully,
HENRY BOHL,
Chairman Democratic State Central
Committee of Ohio.
The work by subscription only, and
containing a steel portrait of General
Ward, is sold at So per copy, and orders
may be sent to Mrs. Wards publisher,
A. II. Smythe, Columbus, Ohio. A re-
liable and energetic agent is wanted for
every county in Ohio, and correspond
ence in regard to the same is solicited
by the publisher, A. H. Smythe, Co.
lumbus, Ohio.

~ "An Old Reader" wants US to explain
to him the origin of ''leap-year," and this,
the 29th day of February, furnishes fitting
occasion therefore. This curious and some
what crooked earth occupies 365 days, hours
and fraction in spinning around the sun
that is, in completing its year. But the old
calendars fixed the year at 365 days, and SO
kept constantly running behind. The diff
ference is now some twelve days, and Russia,
for example, which still clings to the old
calendar, is that much behind the rest of the
world in her dates. The Gregorian calendar,
now followed by all Christian nations save
Russia, set out to remedy this evil by making
each fourth year (leap-year) consist of 36f
days instead of 800. This, on the other
hand, goes trife too much the other way,
and that is sought to be remedied by omitting
the extra day on the centennial years. That
is 30 nearly an accurate adjustment that the
error will have amounted to only one day,
and exactly one day, in the year 5000 A. D..
which must be made leap year to set the
thing perfectly right. To sum up: Every
year tlivsible by four is n leap year, save the
centennial year. None of the latter will be
leap years until we come to 5000, which will
be one. Let us hope that "An Old Reader
will live to see it.-Enquirer.

AMONG THE RAILROADS
What is Going Along Connecticut's s
 Iron Pathways.

What is Going Along Connecticut s
 Iron Pathways.
 The traffic agreement recently entered into by the New York and New England and Consolidated railroads does not partic- ularly relate to Naugrtuck valley business, but affects all the divisions where the two atomic valley milk traffic which the New England people diverted to Wilson's Point will be-. restored to the Consolidated road at Bridgeport.
 The Shelton people are circulating peti- tion to have the Derby extension cross Bridge street at grade. They object to the elevated plan because it necessitates climb ing one pair of stairs to reach the station.
 The New Haven Register, which has sup planted the Bridgeport News in the mat ter of railroad stories, for lack of new ma- terial it dishes up the old chestnut about the possibility of railroad from New Ha- ven to Waterbury running along the West river through Westville, Woodbridge, Bethany, Straitsville, Naugatuck and Un- ion City. This route is suggested as con- ditional upon the Consolidated road squeez- ing the Derby and thwarting the scheme to extend the Derby to Union City.
 J. w. Storrs of New London has invent ed an improved method of joining rails which promises to make railroad travel more comfortable and to save much of the wear and tear of rails. By his method the rails are united by bevelled joints instead of being butted together. The invention will soon be submitted to practical test on the New York, New Haven and Hart ford road.

Dr. Coan on Proper Clothing.

Dr. Coan spoke of this go-as-you-please climate, and said that proper clothing was one of the greatest precautions to health. The scheme ought to be how to keep warm and not too warm, and to vary the weight of the underclothing worn not by the month or sea- son, but according to the temperature of tho day. If one dresses too warmly in the dog days the skin becomes tender, and then when the fall and winter blasts strike him he goes down before pneumonia. To go without over coats like the Anglomaniacs is equally fool hardy, because the frame is weakened and then comes bronchitis and pneumonia. The doctor thought that every man who could afford it should follow the Duke of Yelling ton, who had thirteen overcoats, picked out the right one every day and lived to be S4 years old. Woolens and flannels, no matter as to the color, are the only underclothing we should wear, and all of should have three thicknesses In the winter they retain the heat after it has left the body, and in the summer they absorb the precipitation and permit it to gradually evaporate.-New York Sun

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
Tailor John MraZ Becomes Desperate

Tailor John MfaZ Becomes DeSpeideo
 and Ends His Life.
 A widow, several fatherless chil- dren and few friends and curi- osity seekers this evening gather cred around the plain casket that con tained the remains of John Mraz in the scantily furnished rooms in Gothic hall which were once his home. There were no marks to indicate that he had met death at his own hands. After Dr Bowdish of the Methodist church had read the funeral service and offered prayer the few mourners amid sobs took a parting look at the old mans face. Undertaken York closed the casket and it was borne to the hearse and taken to Riverside cemetery and buried in the potter's field.
 John Mraz was Bohemian He was 69, and had been in this country only few years He had worked at tailoring when he could get work to do. The old man possessed fiddle and could handle the bow When work at his trade was so dull that he co lld not keep the wolf iron the door he took his violin down and went out, playing here and there picking up a few dimes. The severe winter weather in- creased the hardspip of the family and the older daughter sought and found work in one of the factories. But Mraz's poverty weighed heavily. on his mind and Saturday evening he grew so desperate that he hung himself in a shed in the rear of Dr Bland's barn, where he was found by his wife shortly after he committed the deed.
