Outrages in New York are likely to take any or every strange shape-and not all are reported in the newspapers. On New Years day James Sullivan, absolute old war veteran, who had just been. discharged from a term on sthe Island, reported to the police that he had been set upon by two bulldogs in East Fortieth street, near First avenue, and badly lacerated. His clothes hung in shreds, and he exhibited two ugly gashes on his left arm, one on the right and lacerated wound on his leg, all made by the teeth of the animals. He said he was walking along Fortieth street quietly, when some unknown man set the dogs upon him, and crowd of roughs gathered around to see the fun. II fought
 them as I never had to fight during the
 war;" said the old veteran, "and suppose I ought to be thankful that got of so well, bat it is not the pain of the wounds or the loss of my clothes that disturbs me. It is the fear of hydrophobia, and I want to have the dogs shot,"

Washington Dispatch to Chicago News Mrs. Senator Cameron took her baby to the white house reception on New Years day-a bright little youngster years and 6 months old-and Senator Hawley car. ried his wife and infant daughter around with him while he was making calls upon the wives of his colleagues. Mrs. Hawley sat in the coupe with the baby sleeping in her arms, before the houses where the senator was calling, but did not leave the carriage. At several places the ladies who were receiving ran out to the carriage to take look at the infant, and the ejacula. tions of admiration brought bushes to the senator's handsome face.

IT is a matter of pure speculation the makeup of President Harrison's cabinet. One mans guess is as good as another's. Gen. Harrison intends to be the architect of that piece of furniture himself. Many news papers and statesmen who worked hard to defeat Gen. Harrison are now anxious to plan cabinet for him which shall not con- tain any Blaine timber. Whether Mir. Blaine desires to be part of the cabinet may have aa important hearing on his being made such part, and the party is not likely to split, vhethsr he goes in or stays out.

PROMINENT citizens of Mansfield have in formally served notice upon the rest of the county that that town proposes to take early steps to be set of to Windham county, from which it was transferred to Holland county in 1927. Assigned reasons are that their rela- tions have been and are more close with Windham than with Holland county. Willi- mantle, where courts are now held, is conven- tent to them and their natural trade center, while they are remote from the shire town of Holland county, and more so from Rockville, which is moving to be made the place for holding terms of the superior court, etc. If Mansfield goes, Columbia, which came in from Windham county at the same time, and which has all the same reasons for desiring to return, will go also, and if the beginning is thus made of breaking up Holland other towns may be likely to wish to go also, until every part of Holland counry is absorbed by some adjoining county. The cohesive force of county pride is being weakened by causes to which The Press has before referred, and if the break up begins we fear that it will not end with Mansfeld's going.

THE U. s. senate has passed, 43 to 3, the following resolution, which the president is directed to communicate to the government of Europe:
 Resolved, That the government of the United States will look with serious concern and disapproval upon any connection of any European government with the construction or control of any ship canal across the 18th mus of Darien or across Central America, and must regard any such connection or con- trol as injurious to the just rights and in- terests of the United States and as menace to their welfare. s.
 The resolution is directed at any move which the French government may make to assume the construction and control of the DeLesseps ship canal. It is reafirmation of the Mon- roe doctrince. The three dissenting voters were southerners- Blackburn of Kentucky, Vance of North Carolina and Hampton of South Carolina. Began of Texas was also paired in opposition. --.~1 --.-'

YEsTERDAY's storm closed with gale which did damage in various parts of the country, chiefly in Pennsylvania, where sad loss of life was caused by the wrecking of buildings. About 40 persons were killed in Pittsburg, 80 in Reading, and the aggregate of the killed in the state must reach into the hundreds. A silk mill in Reading, where 25O girls were employed, was blown down just before the hour of closing. The Indian school at Car lisle was unroofed. There must have been numerous marine disasters along the coast

''R you break all the resolutions you make, the day after they have gone to the expressing clerk" said Licentiate Bob Burdette in his New Years sermon to his Brooklyn Eagle congregation, 'don't be discouraged; make 'em over again, and make 'em stronger. Keep on making them, as fast as they break. Never give up. When regiment breaks and loses it's formation on the battlefield, does the col onel give up and go to the rear in despair ? No; he simply halts and tcorrects his align ment' right where he is, and moves on without losing an inch of ground. You're no coward, my boy. When your resolu. tions break, don't run. Show your nerve, alignment under fire, and move forward, and though the devils that fight you were thicker than blades of grass in June, they can't make you lower your colors, unless you turn traitor to yoursslf and go over to the enemy"

The New Haven News believes that the trouble between Hiram Lodge. F. and A. M., and the Grand lodge will be settled. The trouble between those two bodies. which occurred year and half ago and which resulted in the suspension of Hiram lodge, is an old story and the public is quite familiar with all the facts in the case. It is an open secret that Hiram would like to be taken back into the fold, and that the Grand lodge is sorry that trouble ever occurred l; but it has puzzled everybody to know how to effect reconciliation. The Grand lodge will hold it's annual meet ing in New Haven within two weeks and it is hinted that something may develop which will bring about the long desired reconciliation. The question should be settled, however, once for all, whether or not Hiram is subordinate to the Grand lodge, which is composed of represents tives of all the lodges. If it is not there is no reason why there should be any rela- tion whatever between the two bodies.
