Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-04-16

PRESIDENT HARRISON has asserted his authority and put break on Mir Blaine's reciprocity policy, us far as it relates to Canada, by peremptorily ordering the secretary of state not to enter upon even informal negotiations with the Canadian commissioners until it shall suit his (Harrisons convenience to be present and to take part therein. What makes this action all the more humiliatIng to Mir Blaine is that he had agreed, and ap
 pointed a time, to listen to an informal presentation of the views of the Cana dian government on this question, and the representatives of Canada were al ready in Washington for that purpose when the Harrison veto was given to him. It seems to us that in addition to being a snub to Mir Blaine this action on the part of Mir Harrison was decidedly discourteous to Canada, and a dis courtesy that was entirely uncalled for. It would have neither injured nor com- mitted this country to have heard the informal propositions of the Canadians, and, unless Mir Harrison has entirely lost confidence in his secretary of state, there is no good reason why he should personally listen to these propositions.

Rapidity of movement is apt to be ac- companied by sacrifice of dignity, es- pecially if you happen to have vicious dog at your heels. It would be stretching point to say that our spring suits have any dignity because the term is not usually applied to inanimate objects, but if they have no dignity of their own they at least impart dignity to the wearer who in return may be said to invest them with sort of personal animation. If there is anything in this life that is positively depressing, it is the unfortunate who is condemned to wear an unbecoming suit of clothes. He may try to appear unconscious of the atten- tion he attracts, but he is a victim of in ward embal rassment, even though he gives no outward evidence oft. You will have no cause for embarrassment if you buy your clothing at our store, without stretching it a particle. We can say that we show the nobbiest and best fitting line of Suits, Spring Overcoats and Pants to be found in this city.

SLEPT UNDER SNOW.
Remarkable Cases of Human Hibernation
 on Record in England.

Remarkable Cases of Human HibernatiOn
 on Record in England.
 The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Wood cock, who survived long burial under snow, may be known to many readers, says Leisure Hours. This woman, forty-two years of age, of Impington, a village three miles north of Cambridge, lost her way in returning home from market on Saturday evening, February 2, 1709, and was buried seven feet deep in the snow. In this state she contin- ned eight nights and eight days, when she was dug out alive on Sunday, Feb ruary 10. She retained the full posses sion of her senses all the while she was immured. She died July 24, 1799. A somewhat similar case occurred in the snowstorm of November, 1890. A middle-aged woman. named Alice Jane Lowe, belonging to Wigan, was admit ted into Spalding worbhouse in a very weak state, having been found by the relieving officer sleeping out in the snow in the Lincolnshire fens, near Spalding. She was put to bed and then stated that she had slept out for five weeks continuously, including within the last few days the severest weather of the year, when the snow covered the ground to the depth of near ly foot. The poor woman's hair was in such a ma tied state that it had to be all cut off. She stated that she had tramped from Lancashire, where she had formerly been in domestic service, and at the time she was found in the snow she appeared to have lost her way. The workhouse officials consid- cred it most remarkable that the woman survived the exposure to the cold.

 Mrs. Halford has been an invalid for the past two years, suffering from com plication of diseases which finally cul- minated in consumption, which was the immediate cause of her death.

 The President on being informed of Mrs. Halford's death telegraphcd 4s fol- lows from Georgia: ''All our party feel deeply for you, and we would at once re- turn to be with you if we consulted our own feelings. But I am sure that in view of the disappointment it would cause to others you would advise that we go on."
 Services over her remains were held at 3 o'clock to-day at the Foundry NJ. F. Church, Rev. Dr. Elliott officiating, after which the remains were placed on the 3:30 train and conveyed to Indianapolis for burial tomorrow.

SUICIDE IN A CEMETERY.

An Old Man Kills Himself on His DauSh-
 ter's Grave.
 NEW YORK, April 16. At noon Joseph Buckerman, 50 years old, of No. 1GS West SiXty-fifth street, this city, tired of life, entered the Salem Fields Cemetery, and, making his way to a secluded corner of the burying ground, he knelt in prayer on a newly made grave.
 After praying fervently for few mo- ments, he drew from his pocket revol- yer, and, placing the muzzle of the pistol in his mouth, he fired and fell back dead.
 The grave upon which he killed him. self was that of his daughter, who had died but few days ago and whose loss the old man was unable to stand.
