 leges, was 3, 1S7 pounds. The total which Nash ran up under the same system was 9,547.76 pounds. Not long ago Henry W. Lane, the Sandow of Amherst college, made a total strength record of 3,S23 pounds, which on its face is much better performance than that of Nash, but it is said that the record made by Lane cannot be admitted on the ground that he did not confine himself to the limited time al- lowed for the examination, but took the different tests at intervals. If this be true Nash is the strongest collcgian in America.
 Nash looks every inch tho strong man that he is. He is 24 years old, and his homo is in Haverhill, Mass. Since he entered college two years ago he has been closely identified with athletics. In his freshman year he played substitute in the varsity football team, and in his sophomore and junior years he had little difficulty in get ting on the team as n regular player, his position being left tackle.
 His strength is natural to him, although 1t Is in measure to be attributed to his interest in athletics and to the excellent training he has received in swinging the broadax at his trade of shipbuilder, which he followed for some years prior to enter ing college. He entered on the engineering course, but intends to change next year and take special work instead

The hall was beautifully decoratee and the young ladies looked rad iant attired in costumes of white silk and wearing bouquets. Principal Harrington opened the exercises with an appropriate address and introduced the Dr F. D. Buck ley, who spoke at length on the great good which the college is doing among the peo- pie of Waterbury.
 "1t appears, as it were, said the speaker, "a short cut into practical life and allows young men and women to be independent There is no calling that you can bring up that will enable you better to earn your own living. But let me exhort you at this time to know something more than debit and credit. have watched the progress of this institution with interest since it opened in this city and I am glad to know that you are instructed in other things and in other branches that will make you not only fit for the business world, but orna- ments of society. and will furthermore en- able you to slt in any bushes office and talk with your employer in such a way that soon he will recognize you as an important factor in the establishment with which you are connected"

DID HE MISUSE A SICK HORSE?
L. Flood Tried for Having nistreated 4
Dumb Animal


The trial of j.. Flood for cruelty to an.
finals was concluded before Justice Nor
rison yesterday, and the case taken under
ADJUSTMENT Considerable interest is
being shown In this case by the livery
stable men of the city, and they seem to
regard it a. test. d. S. Hutchins the
former humane officer, swore to the
complaint
1t is claimed that some time ago Flood
hired horse ana buggy from the Eagle
stables, on Broadway, and in company
with his wife drove to Florence and back,
distance OF sixteen miles. When the
were unmistakable signs that it had been
most druelly beaten and misusod. On its
back we're large quantity OF whip cuts
and wets.
Mr.. Hutchins testified that as the hui
name officer he had called on Mr.. Flood
and aDked him regarding the condition
of the animal and why he had apparently
driven it so hard. MI. Flood had told
him, he said, that the horse was discov-
cred to be sick twenty minutes after they
had started from the stable, and it was
necessary to use the whip to make it 60.
Mr.. Flood denied having made this
admission, and claimed that he only said
that the horse was in no tit condition for
the trip.
No less than four persons testified as to
the condition OF the animal when it was
brought to the stable, and all said that
there had been anywhere from dozen to
thirty-five welts and whip marks on the
rump of the animal.
The case was submitted without argu-
ment and o decision will probably be
given today.

to be few reasons why she needs the bal
lot that are not covered bv other phases
OF this suffrage topic on the parliament
programme.
Any woman who earns and eats her
own bread has right to call herself a
useful mem Der of society. She is factor
among producers, and whether she
chooses or not, has an individuality of
her own, for which she alone is RESPONSE
Bile. No husband, son or brother can
assume for her those duties pertaining to
this individuality. If she Is true to her.
SELF she must think and act for herself.
She has no right to expect others to as
sumo such duties.
ELIZABETH YOUNG GORDON
Very witty as well as wise was the next
address by Elizab beth Young Gordon, who
attempted to reply to the query, Does
Politics Need Woman's Suffrage?
She began by saying that some years
ago board of commissioners passed the
following rem arkable resolutions:
Resolved. first, That we build new
Jail second, That we build the new Jail
out of the material OF the old Jail third,
That we use the old Jail while the new
jail is in process OF building.
Mean while, applying this to our sub
ject, what shall we do with the hardened
criminal, modern politics, while the new
Jail Is being built for him?
Should he fail into your hands during
the reconstruction of the Jail, it is likely
he will meet his Just deserts and be cast
out of our parliament; and in his case
there will be LACK of woman's nursing
and dearth of woman's tears" An epi-
demio of cheap sentiment sweeps over
our country on every anniversary of the
Declaration of our Independence. 1t is
tune for plain speech in regard to this
document and the men, whose memories
we extoi on state occasions, who signed
it. Orr forefathers left England because
their freedom was constantly assaulted by
unjust laws. When the time came Tor
the assertion OF their rights in the sacred
name of liberty, they declared that "all
men are born equal and are created with

are life, liberty and the pursuit OF happi-
ness" And yet slavery existed and con-
tinued to exist in the homes of the men
who had uttered this fine sentime nt.
Taxation without representation is tyr
amy" is another finely rounded sem
tence. 1t sounds as we'll today as ever a
1t did, and yet since it was written how
many thousands OF American citizens
have been tyrannized over! 1t is no
wonder that the God uf truth has
scoursed our nation once and again for
political falschoods, which have not only
been tolerated but idolized by our
thoughtless citizens. Let US be truth full
first, patriotic afterwards. And when
we blame the monstrosity we call politics
today, let us remember that an honest
child rarely descends from falsehood and
dishonor.
1t is both a historical fact and sar-
casm that the Declaration of Independ-
ence was first printed 10 paper owned
and published by woman.

appeal, but the working woman has not.
She must obey laws she hes no voice in

lever in the amelioration of the working
man, then most assuredly should it be
given to the working woman who has
more numerous obstacles to overcome.
HARRIET r. STRONG.
'Does the business woman need suf-
frage?" was the next question pro-
pounded, and the handsome speaker,
Miss Harriet r. Strong of Whittier, held
the attention of the audience for the next
twelve or thirteen minutes. In forcihle
and energetic manner Miss Strong dis
cussed the subject of the ballot and the
woman in all departments of her labors
today.
KATE G. MOODY
In the symposium the problem of prac-
teal suffrage was very fairly treated by
DR.. Kate G. Moody. docs the profess
sional woman need the baliot?" she
asked and proceeded to answer in logical
and weil-chosen statements.
A tDe-looking woman. with much ease
and self poise, she was listened to with
marked attention suggestive of genuine
admiration and appreciation.

tween is and ~ years ago, was still
living there, where he is man of some
prominence, decided to write to him,
without knowing his views, for plain
proposition to adopt free coinage il the
United States, in view Of his expert
ence and observation of the practical
results of the free coinage of silver in
that country His reply has been re-
ceived and will be published in num-
Der of North Carolina papers this week,
and will probably have considerable to
do with helping along that anti-free
silver tide which set in in this State a
month or two ago. Among other inter
esting things which the letter contains
are the following statements:
with sorrow and chagrin have no.
ticed in American newspapers the
theoretic notions OF so many good men
on the silver question. We have prac-
| teal demonstration Of the evils of free
coinage and silver currency in Mexico
that cannot be refuted. Minister Romero
may write review articles, silver Sena-
tors and silver enthusiasts may theor-
ize and hold up Mexico as silver coun-
try and as being prosperous, but the
stubborn fact remains that the masses
of the people here are very poor, times
are hard, and the wages paid for labor
in this country will just about keep
body and soul together. The masses
of the people in Mexico know nothing
of the luxuries and comforts of life. II
would be hard to find country where
living was more expensive.
After sojourn of 16 years in this
republic, l have seen very little money
among the masses and no prosperity fol-
the laborer and artisan. More money,
and silver money, in the United States
will mean cheaper money and higher
prices to the consumer, beyond doubt.
There should be campaign of educa-
tion on the silver question. Let the
people understand that this is ques.
tion which legislation cannot regulate,
but that the law of supply and demand
must be the standard. IL does seem te
me, and honestly | believe, that the
adoption of "a silver currency such as
is proposed for the United States by
the Populists and silver Democrats anc
silver Republicans, would be the very
greatest calamity that could befall thai
great country.
