COntradicts Gov. Peck.

MADISON, Wis, December 2S.-The
examination of w. A. Tracy as
adverse witness in the roster suit was
finished this morning. The attor-
neys for the defense made strenuous
but Intellectual efforts to break down
or weaken the testimony by cross-ex-
animation on some of the more i'm
portant points. Mr.. Chynoweth tried
to get Mr. Tracy to say that he knew
Private Secretary Clark was public
officer and had no right to hold a pub
lie contract, but Mr.. Tracy insisted
that he believed, from the opinions
given by O'Connor and Bashford, that
it was a legitimate business deal.
Mr.. Tracy also told of an interview
at Stoughton between himself and the
Bows, at which the latter called AS
sistant Atty Gen. Clancy in. Mr..
Tracy stated that at that conference
Clancy said, when told that Atty
Gen. O'Connor had given the COVER
nor an opinion that the roster con-
tract was valid: 81 didn't know
O'Connor had given an opinion to the
governor. I had nothing to do with
it. | should never have allowed
the governor to give any such con-
tract, Any id fool of a lawyer
would know better"
1t was further developed by Mr.
Tracy's testimony that he went to
Milwaukee and saw Gov. Peck with
reference to the repayment of the
money advanced on the contract and
Mr.. Tracy swears that Gov. Peck said
the matter must be settled, and pro-
missed to cancel Chicago engagement
and come to Madison to help; also
that Clark told Tracy that the gov
ernor had, before cancelling the con-
tract, or at the time, asked about the
parties who had advanced money
on it. In his answer to the complaint
the governor swore he did not know
when the contract was cancelled
about any money having been paid
on account Of it.

Canadian Logs.

The insolent threat of Canadian
government officials that, if the United
States does not put sawed lumber on
the free list, they will reimpose an ex-
port duty on logs, ought to open the
eyes of the Democratic tariff thinkers.
The former Canadian export duty on
logs was removed in consequence of
the Mckinley law. That measure re-
duced the duty on sawed lumber one
half on condition that the Canadians
should abolish their export duty. If
the Canadian duty should be re-
established the old American duty
was to be restored.
That is fair, business-like recipro-
city. While it remains in force there is
no danger of the export duty being re-
stored. But the moment it is men
aced with repeal, the Canadian export
duty is brought forward again and is
being used as a club to force further
concessions.-Bufiale Express.

The Democrats Don't KnoW How.

The national Democracy, as repre-
sented in congress, has about come
to the point of admitting its inabil-
ity to frame tariff which even Demo
Gratis will accept. At present there is
strong talk in Washington of tariff
commission to be made up in part,
at least, Of persons outside of con-
gress.
It's the old story. Elect Democrats
to discharge public duties, then hire
somebody who knows how to do the
work. 1t is the safest way for the
country when any real work is to be
performed, but is rather expensive

The heartrending appeals Of the un-

The Oshkosh Northwestern does
not see much chance for Gen. Bragg
in the present prospects of the Demo-
Gratis in this state, nor in the attitude
OF the Democratic politicians toward
the general. The Northwestern says:
at is generally understood, even
among Democrats, that the next state
officers will be Republican. The
handwriting on the wall is so legible
that 1t can be read across the street.
Even as the leader of forlorn hope,
it is doubtful if Gen. Bragg will be
permitted to walk at the head Of the
procession, and if he marches at all
it must be as a private in the rear
rank or a "coffee cooler" by the way
side. Gen. Bragg must be put down.
That is the order from Senator Villas.

Worthy of the Flag.

The American people may well be
proud of the splendid armored cruiser
New York as she starts off on her
mission of protection to American
interests in Brazil. The New York is
to vessels of her class in foreign
navies what the fine frigates of Deca-
tur, Bainbridge and Hull were to the
ships Of the British navy in the war
of 1912. She is faster, better pro
tected and more powerfully armed
than any armored cruiser that floats;
and she is thoroughly American from
military masthead to keel. The Re-
publican party believes in making
American warships the best in the
world. Thegroup of eight great ships,
all of more than 1000 tons, which
the country owes to the Harrison
administration and In Which'the New
York and her sister craft, the Brook
lyn, are deservedly prominent, consti-
tute the backbone of the American
navy.-New York Press.

SEVERAL able organs have openly
charged that the many manufact-
cries now closed "have been closed
not on account of the Wilson bill but
for political purposes F." How about
the manufactures owned by Demo
Gratis? Have they all retired from
business, too, for political pur-
poses?" Such editors must think
men who have millions invested in
machinery, now still and going to
rack and ruin, fools. A man with a
million invested in machinery is not
going to stop the wheels for any
political party SO long as he can run
with profit.

Whole Greater Than a Part.

1t is proposed now to take down
the tariff bars and leave American
capital and labor defenseless against
foreign competition. The Wilson bill
lays the ak to the root of the protec-
tive tree. The Democratic minority
representing districts more immedi-
ately and severely hurt than others,
calls for Republican assistance in
saving the particular branches be-
meath whose fostering shade their con
stituents haveprospered and thrived.
The Republican side of congress has
a broader and higher duty than this
to perform. 1t is there to save the
whole protective system. The Re-
publican leaders will properly answer
the appeal of the Democratic minority
for help in revisingseparate schedules
by inviting the minority to join them

 The souvenir Confederate badge. which was worn by Major Graham Dawes of Newborn. N. C.. at the un- yelling of the Fifteenth Connecticut monument. November II. has been re- ceived in this city and will be highly valued on account of its association. Major Dawes was in the Confederate army during the war. entering the ser vice as adjutant of the Second North Carolina infantry. Subsequently he was on general stan duty and held the rank of assistant adjutant-general at the close of the war. He graduated from Trinity college in this city in 1857 and Is q brother of Professor Dawes. who was connected with the Trinity faculty prior to the war. Major Dawes was particularly attentive to the Eff teenth regiment representatives during the visit in Newborn. and spared no pains in the effort to contribute to their pleasure and enjoyment. His courte- sles will long be remembered by the northern men who were the recipients of his generous attentions.-Hartford Times.

Al 8 point in the rear of the church a fine. ly constructed winding driyeway leads to the rear of MT. w. K. Jesup's newly erected home. Here is a slightly location; the house is unique, beine built of boulder stones from this vicin. ity which are so laid that the oute, , surfaces of the walls show no tool 2 marks. The slightly concave iron, faces an extensive stretch of country with it's congregation of hills, extend. ing past Bear Mountain, in Stock. bridge, on to Egremont, in the south. western corner of the state.

Thanksgiving-Day Gowns. From Harper's Bazar.1

The good old fashion of family reun- ions on Thanksgiving day will be very general this year, and is modernized somewhat by people of wealth who keep their country houses open and en- certain large house parties, who add in many ways to the gaieties of the neighborhood in the lovely autumn weather.
 For these holiday gatherings in the country nothing could be more appro- priate than the high-necked dinner gowns that are so much in vogue this season. These may be merely waist of chiffon, of Liberty satin, or of silk, with skirt of darker silk, or perhaps black satin or peau de soie; but there is something effective in complete dress of one material Such gowns are made of the new striped silks of a light color out of which seem to rise stripes of black moire. Quarter-inch bayadere stripes make up charmingly in turquoise blue with black moire stripes. A dress of this silk, made to be worn at country-house dinner in New England, has the high waist hooked behind, and the whole gown over a pink silk lining. The top of the front is white chiffon accordeon-pleat- ed over white satin, extending low on the left side. The right side is cov- cred diagonally to the shoulders in folds of the striped silk holding a sim gle rever of white gros grain thickly dotted with very small spangles. A feature of this pretty waist Is six small stifly folded bows of the stripes lined with white and silver, and each caught by a ball of silver, going straight down the front and tapering to a wide bias belt of the striped silk. The col lar, giving contrast of, color, is of rose miroir velvet, with points of the velvet on the side, instead of choux. The plain skirt, four yards and half wide, has three folds in the. back, held in, place by three little bows son each side quite near the top.
 For more elderly matrons. as the hostess receiving her sons and daugh- ters, are handsome gowns of black peau de sole made with moderately wide skirt, well cut, and entirely un- trimmed. Very silky black crepon is sometimes preferred to silk of any kind, while others use black satin. The slightly pointed waist of the ma terial is draped in Afront with black chiffon or 8 becoming color, and is completed by large collar Of white lace that Is appropriate for the ma tron, though much worn by young wo- men also. The sleeves are the prevail ing gigots.
 For the dancing dresses of young women guests at a house party a full skirt of white silk or satin well serves as the foundation of various toilettes. A girl returning from Raris brought four waists to wear with a single white satin skirt. One of these was of pink chiffon, another of miroir velvet Of palest turquoise blue, q third of chine silk in which Nile green prevailed, and fourth entirely of whitA chiffon. All of these except the latter were high in the neck with three quarter aeeyes

acres in extent. A sixty thousand dol lar reservoir, extensive greenhouses and handsome boat-house constitute some of its Improvements. The im- mense building. with tall forest trees in the background. with It's great ga- bles and lofty cupolas. presents very impressive appearance Fifteen chimney stacks rise from the roof, and a front section. of handsome light granite, with a grand pay window, has the architectural beauty of a palace front. To pass around the house one | must traverse a thousand feet. The great pile seems in harmony with the grandeur of It's natural surroundings
 In the same section of the town, oc- cupying an elevation. beautifully pre- pared by nature herself, with the ground sloping gently in every direc- tion, Is the elegant residence of MT. Henry H. Cooke. The house Is built Of fine yellow colored pressed brick, hay ing a main building. with several large square windows in It's front. supported on either side by magnificent wings, | having extensive porches with colon- nades. and extending a considerable distance to the rear. The whole struc- ture makes a most symmetrical sur mounting of the wide-spreading lawns, from the midst of which 1t rises. MT. Cooke has among his possessions large lake, a running brook, a pine tree grove eight or ten acres in extent, and beautiful grove of hickory trees. The superintendents house, together with the farm buildings. complete in their appointments, are located an eighth of mile from the family man. sion. The entrance and exit, the lodge and fences, all exhibit much taste and the place Is one of the most attractive here.
 MT. John Sloane is making at "Beecher Hill' great changes; his farm buildings alone are to cost some sixty thousand dollars. John E. Par sons, the noted New York lawyer, who owns a great tract of land, is enlarg- ing his already large house, while MT w. D. Sloane is making additions to his great villa residence.
 On the Stockbridge road, midway be. tween these fine properties, is seen the site of Hawthorne's residence. The little one-story red house. burned down a few years ago. was situated close to the roadway, on the rim of a stretch of broad meadow land, which reaches down to the edge of the "Stockbridge Bowl" Here "Tangle. wood Tales" and House of Seven Ga bles' were written.
 In the Athenaeum Library building at Pittsfield, is the old-fashioned wri ting desk which he used. In the book case portion, on opening the solit doors is seen two portraits of the eel ebrated author; one is from the origi nal negative, by Mayall, London, May 19, 1860, and the other is an engraving by T. Coles, which is framed by woo( from a window casing of the LenoX re treat, and presented by the Century company. There is also photograph of the cottage taken in May, 1890, th' month before its destruction by fire It is said that he used to walk to Len OK, two miles distant. for his mail, ant that he was regarded by his neighbor' as very uncommunicative. To-day thu street fence, of narrow weather beat en boards, with small and larger gate is about the only indication of an! habitation having ever occupied th' spot. '' ". @f. w. J. D.

At cornn Id Point-Ths Vessel Lying Easy
 Upon shoai-Expeetsd to Float at High
 Tide-Good Prospect of saving Her.
 saybrook Point. Nov. 2s.-The schooner Annie J. Pardee of New Ha- ven. aground in the west end of Corn field Point shoal. will probably not be loss. as sensationally reported yesterday afternoon. The vessel lies In an easy position and at dark tonight the captain of the vessel had set no signals of distress. and apparently was simply waiting for a high tide to float him. The shooner ran aground owing to the exceedingly low tide on the shoal. and because she was at the same time to the northward of her course. The shoal is sand and the schooner is not injured. The sea is sharp from the northwest, but is not sufficient to pound the Pardee. She Is in no danger as long as the wind continues in its present direction. II is expected she will come off on the tide which Is high at 10 o'clock tonight. Il Is possible the strong wind may keer the tide down. in which case the vessel will not float until 1t subsidies. Tugs were sent to the assistance of the stranded schooner to-day, but could be of no use, as they could not approach the shoal water. To all appearances at dark Captain Crosby, who Is in com mand, had no fears for his vessel an6 he and his crew were in no danger. The schooner Is a three-master an6 bound to Boston. She Is loaded witt 1000 tons of coal. On board the vesse are the captain and his nine men. The schooner is owned principally by Frank w. Benedict of Benedict valued at about s20,O0O and is one O the largest vessels sailing from thi! port.
 She is in the coal trade and sails be .tween points on the coast. She started from Georgetown several days agt with large cargo for we'll knowl Boston firm.
 In the heavy wind which has pre- vailed for the last two days she wa driven in on the bar where she wa soon sighted.
 The Pardee was built in Bath. Me in 1882, and has been in the coas trade ever since. The cargo is insured There is no insurance on the vessel.
