BROWN sTILLlN THE RACE.
Observer in the New York World Writet Concerning the Waterbury Postofice.

Observer in the New York World Writes
 Concerning the Waterbury Postoffice.
 F. J. Brown, when seen by DEMOCRAT representative this morning. and asked what he knew concerning the statement that the name of Daniel E. Fitzpatrick as postmaster would be sent to the senate on Thursday, gave the laconic reply: "It is safe betting that the nomination will not be made on Thursday"
 Observer in the New York World writes:
 At this distance it appears as though the caucus, whether fair or not, would settle things, for, once having ordered it. the word of Congressman Pigott is in volved, and he must almost perforce, in- dorse the caucus nominee. But it leaves behind lots of bad blood. and the first instance of adjusting a postoffice TOW by the caucus idea in Connecticut city falls far short of triumphant and harmonious success. The politicians have always dreaded these gatherings because of the feuds they leave behind, and the Water bury broil goes good way to justify their fears. Whether the caucus in the case of an up-to-the-hilt fight for a postotfice is really much worse for the congressman than his voluntary pick of the candidate is doubtful, and involves some such nice distinction as is supposed to exist in the ology between Satan and Beelzebub-the congressman, to vary the metaphor little, upder our blessed spells system, catching the Old Nick either way.

MANUAL TRAINING.

 Education,

Investigations Made by the state Boa d of
 Education.
 4 pamphlet on ''Marual Training" pre- pared by Charles A. Kunou of New Bri- tain, has just been issued by the state board of education. It is illustrated with plates showing samples of work in the Pratt institute, Brooklyn, the Drexel in stitute and manual framing schools of Philadelphia and the state Normal school. New Britain. MT Kunou was commissioned to investigate especially the subject of manual training and its applications, and he says that his report contains only few fragments of the ideas gathered during his investigations. Besides manual training, the branches most nearly related to it science, mathematics and drawing-were also examined. In the report Mir Kunou says:
 ''In some of the institutions visited, manual training does not end, as some please to suppose, in the mastery of tools found in an artisans shop; nor does it end in the representation of an idea in ihe ma terial used. The same amount of time is given to this subject as to literature, mathematics and science. Manual train ing in some schools is and indispensable addition to literature and other studies To know and to do is the motto; but the subject does not end in the doing. It is simply potent factor in the development of the individuality of the pupil"

\ Newspaper Reporter Excused From
 Giving Testimony That Would Iacrimi-
 nate Himself.
 NEW HAVEN, April 1S.-The Lee murder trial is drawing to a close. The defense rested its side of the case when Dr Lee withdrew from the witness stand yesterday afternoon. This morning the state began its rebuttal and the first witness called was William k. Clark, court reporter of the Register.
 After the preliminary questions Judge Blydenburg asked: Did you, Mir Clark, have any conversation with Mrs Lynch be- tween Friday night and yesterday morn ing?"
 The witness turned to the court and said: Your honor, I understand that MT Doolittle intends to bring contempt pro- ceedi-gs against the author of certain ar ticle which appeared in the Register. Am 1 to understand that I need not answer any question tending to incriminate myself"
 Judge Robinson replied in the affirma- tine and Reporter Clark said he did have d conversation. Judge Blydenburg then asked as to the nature of the conversation, but the defense objected and the court ruled out the question. Clark was ex- cused without further examination.
 Samuel Jenkins, a hoStler for Mrs Lyons. wife of the late pr Lyons. testified that two weeks prior to the doctors death, he was unable to leave the house. The purpose of this testimony was to show that Dr Lyon did not treat Mrs Miller. Coro- ner Mix and City Attorney Matthewman both denied that they had made threats of arrest to Mrs Lynch, as she stated.
 Dr Bacon was then called to rebut the statement of Mrs Lynch that Mrs Miller inflicted certain wounds causing her death by her own hand. Judge Blydenburg formulated several hypothetical questions for the purpose of showing that under the circumstances existing in this case the de- ceased could not have inflicted wounds herself. These questions were ruled out. By clever questioning. however. the ex- aminer succeeded in eliciting from Dr Bacon the testimony that under the pre- vailing circumstances it would be exceed ingly difficult for Mrs Miller to have per formed the deed herself.

THIS COUNTRY NO GOOD.
A Thomaston Chinaman Who WOult
 Rather Be Deported Than Register.

A Thomaston Chinaman Who Would
 Rather Be DepOrted Than Register. :
 Thirty-fve Chinamen'i have registered up to this date with c. A. Warren, deputy collector at Waterbury, as follows: From Waterbury. 24; Naugatuck, 6; Litchfeld, l; New Milford, ?; Torrington. 2; total, 35. Possibly one more will register from Naugatuck. One at Thomaston declines to register saying that America is DO good. and he had rather be sent back to China.
 A feature of the Chinese registration law which has not been commented upon is the cost to the Chinese of its enforcement, In this state about 400 Mongolians have been pictured and labelled. Some of them doubtless had dozen photos taken while they were about it, while others might have been content with three. Let us say that on the average a tribute of s per pigtail was exacted by knights of the camera. That makes $1 800 that the yell low-skinned brethren have given up in this state to comply with the law, 10 say nothing of travelling expenses and incl dentals. In Chinese capital, S1, 500 is a good deal of money. It represents the washing of 15, 900 shirts.

Three Torpedoes Did the Work.

RIO JANEIRo, April 1S.-Official dis patches received here from Desterro, where the rebels set up their provisional govern. ment, assert that Admiral de Mello's former flagship, the Aquidab aban, was sunk at daybreak by one of President PeiXoto's torpedo boats, the Gustavo Sampaio, for merly called the Aurora. The Sampaic accomplished this result with three White head torpedoes.
 President PeiXoto's fleet made concert ed attack upon Desterro and the insurgent forces there at first offered a stout resist ance with their land batteries and the guns of the Aquidaban, but after the Sampaio had sent the Aquidaban to the bottom they gave up the fight and surrendered to the government forces
 Should Argentina grant Admiral de Mel los request for protection to the squadron he has taken into Buenos Ayres harbor, this would be regarded with disfavor by Brazil, as the naval insurgents have been formally declared to be pirates

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Speaking of yesterdays New York | Springfield game the World says: Roger | Connor jumped around first base in a way that promises to bring ''Rog" back to his youthful agility. The cause of this was Farrell's quick throws to first, which had a tendency to keep the Springfield base run ners hugging the initial bag.
