THE republicans papers are whistling to keep up courage. If the ballots having the place for candidates for certain of Aces left blank were illegal, they say, then Mir Phelan's claim is swept away, as 85S such ballots were counted for the democrats. They forget that over 5000 prohibition, and labor ballots, which counted against the democratic candi- dates, were cast, on which were the same defect. If all such are thrown out, the democratic majorities will be even larger than claimed. But, says the Hartford Times, 8 republican lawyer, conversant with this trial, stated this morning that the republican lawyers intend that the illegal demo- cratic (blAnk) ballots shall be thrown out, but that the illegal ballots counted against the democratic candidates shall not be thrown out. This trick is to be played out on 8 technicality that the democrats did not put in testimony on these illegal ballots on the main issue, they relying upon the evidence of the counters; and that they will not be per mitted to put in the illegal ballots that are counted against the democrats, as rebuttal evidence. The people of Con- necticut-every fair-minded mah, with out regard to party, will feel very much interested in this sort of work by lawyers in judicial case m which all the people are interested.

SID END OF I ROMANCE
Ralph Hewitt shot Himself Fol
 His Buried Love.
COULD NOT SURVIVE AER DEATH

The Youth Had Len EIgin. n1.. Where His
 Was Clerk in tho Mount vernon Hotel,
 Washington.
 NEW YoRK, May 20. -"Ths body of \ young man sitting upright in chair at JRckson's Pavilion on the beach was found early in the morning, with bul- let hole in the head. He was Identified as Ralph D. Hewitt, a clerk at the Mount Vernon Hotel, Washington, whose mother lives at No. no West lU4th street, New York. ''
 Such was the message flashed over the wires from Atlantic City, N. J., to the newspapers all over the country. It told a common story enough-the sad tale of self f-destruction-all too familiar. but ] life thus snuffed out that strangers could not know.
 It was a hand nerved by grief for . buried love that had sent the fatal bull let on its mission of death. When the body of young Ralph Hewitt sat upright and rigid in the bright sunlight of the perfect May morning, preparations were \ going on in handsome house in the \ \ fair young girl. They had been sweet hearts, these two, the daug hter of rich Judge Battsford of ElRin and young Ralph Hewitt. Their story reads like q e page from some old time romance. Ralph Dudley Hewitt was born in El- gin. Ill.. about IS years ago. After ex- \ tended travels Ralph went to Elgin and began work in the big watch factory there. He had not been there long \ E~n Ahn m% nd nra Battsford, who was just home from school on 8 vacation. The couple fell deeply in love, but did not become n | gagged, for he had his way to make in the world, while she was rich.
 Impatient to get ahead by rapid strides young Hewitt found work in tho watch factory too slow, and leaving Elgin he went to try his fortunes. Then he got work as clerk in the Mount Vernon Hotel. A week ago dispatch came to | him that AloisiR Battsford was dead. heart disease, induced by over-study. In Elgin she was known as a girl of rare beauty and musical accomplishments. On hearing of her death Hewitt went to Atlantic City, and took a room at the Girard House. The rest is known.
 Two weeks ago young Hewitt's mother and sister Maude, beautiful girl of 20, took fiat at No. 1l0 West 104th street.
 Mrs. Dennison, Mrs. Hewitt's mother lives with them. A reporter called there and saw Mrs. Dennison, who was nearly prostrated with grief. Two tele ! grams lay on the table, and . box con
 taining the young mans letters to his mother and sister lay on the table besid' them Mrs. Hewitt and Maude had gone to Atlantic City to claim thei dead.
 ssHe wrote home only day before yes
 terday,n said Mrs. Dennison, ''anC spoke touchingly of Aloisia. Oh, hi' sorrow was greater than we knew" anC the poor woman sobbed as she thought of their loss. ''He was not 19," sht said, and so good, and true, and manly. He was handsome and whole souled. Everybody loved him."

 One o8 the most careless and danger vna habits in which Americans indulge to a great extent Is that of tucI<ing their umbrellas or walking sticks under their arms. letting them stick out ale most if not quite horizontally. and thereby endangering as well as incom- moding people who are 90 unfortunate as to be behind them on the street.
 The method for stopping this objec- tionable practice which is employed in Berlin is successful. if rather surprising to the uninitiated. A citizen of Berlin rarely ofrends against the unwritten law which forbids this dangerous trick, but, if he does, he meets the same fate which recently befell careless and un- suspecting American who was sight seeing in the great German city. He was wandering along with his umbrel- h sticking out behind him almost at right angles when he suddenly felt a blow upon it which sent it to the ground with a crash. Looking around in some vexation as we'll as surprise, he encountered the stern gaze of a citi- AAA@AES S~@S gentleman's inability to understand German, explained with some difficulty in broken English that he had only fol- lowed the law of the city.
 "I see have you astonish," he re- marked, with severity. ''but it is the law in our city; it is not allow So to carry stick" and with bow he passed on.
 The American learned by inquiry that such is the universal case. Every one is permitted, even encouraged, by the authorities to strike down an offending walking stick or umbrella in this way whenever he sees it, and the ono whose property receives the blow had best ac- cept the reproof with good grace, as popular opinion is against him, and his complaint would elicit no sympathy.
 A law should be passed in all coun- tries providing for the apprehension o4 all persons who flourish or carry um- brellas under their arms.

 ALB ANY, N. Y., May 26.-Capitol Com missioner Perry yesterday received in- formation that the proprietors of the granite quarries at Barre, Vt., and Cape Ann, Me-, had effected 8 compromise with the striking quarrymen, and it now looks as if the supply of stone for the Capitol approach will not be cut of for any serious length of time.
 The Commissioner has given notice to the Hollowell firm that he must have granite to keep Capitol work going on, and that Gov. Flower insists upon hay ing the work completed within the pres snt gubernatorial term, and that if the material cannot be got in one place it must be sought elsewhere.

sOME TIN PLATE FACTS.

Tin plate is about twenty-five per cent higher than it was when the Mckinley law went into operation. The Chicago Tribune, republican, lately interviewed packers and manufacturers of cans who attended the late meeting of the Western Canned Goods association, re- garding the effect of this increase, and the following are some of the results:
 "A. H. Trego, of Hoopeston, Ill, a large buyer of cans-We have paid for cans 10 cents hundred over last year. The tariff is more likely to affect prices for the coming year.
 ''J. D. Cummins, a packer of Con- neaut, Ohio-If packers do not advance prices they will be compelled to make up the difference in the prices paid to farmers for growing the vegetables.
 civilian Ballenger, packer of Keo. kuk, Iowa-The tendency of the tariff is to increase the cost of canned goods all along the line. On two and three pound cans the advance has been six cents a dozen. We use 1,50O, 900 cans a year.
 ''R. Tynes Smith, a can manufacturer of Baltimore-The effect of the tariff has been felt directly by the industry. It has increased the cost of material to the manufacturer, it has increased the cost of cans to the canner, and must be felt sooner or later by the consumer, unless the packer will reduce his profits, and that is hardly probable, as he is now working on small capital.
 civilian Dugdale, of the Dugdale Can company, Indianapolis Packers must pay more for their cans under the tariff; therefore they must add an extra profit. We have repeatedly offered to purchase American tin plate to use in our factory, but manufacturers tell us to wait. They have none to offer at present. There are no mills turning out tin plate for commerce; if there are any we should be glad be glad to patronize them. We use nearly $500, 900 worth of tin year."
 Where is this American tin plate we hear SO much about

THE spectacle of two young women being chased by bear in the streets of a city is rather unusual, but such a thing occurred in Gardiner, Me-. the other day. Had the girls stood still when MT. Marshall's pet bear dropped over the garden wall they would have been all right, but they ran and screamed, and the bear followed in high glee. One of the girls fell, and the bear, after polxing his 'shorrid nose" into her face, resumed his pursuit of the other until she sought refuge in house. Then he seemed to think the fun spoiled, and ambled home. The women wanted the poor bear killed.
