Tne;e was hut little interest shown here in
the election Saturday. The maiOrity of the
voters ate not satisfied with the convention
system. The Crawford plan is a better one
and suits the voter. The greater number
remained at home. particular the old ones.
The boys and newly registered voters made
up the list, and nine teuths Of them did not
understand what they were doing when they
voted, because they do no not understand
the convention system. The direct choice OF
their candidates permitted by the plan with
which they have always been familiar is better
for them. Let those who have the control
give us back the Crawford system
so that we can know what we are doing, and
we will promise a better turn out.

Theodore started out to master the
trade, and by dint of hard work he ac-
quired thorough knowledge of every
branch Of the business. For twenty
five years he worked as hard as the
humblest laborer In his fathers refin-
cry nine hours every day and lived on
$50 month. On the fathers death.
with his brother, Henry o., who had
also mastered the trade, he succeeded
to the business. While Henry o. de-
voted himself to the financial manage
ment Of the concern, Theodore looked
after the practical workings of the es-
tablishment. Under the firm name of
Havemeyers & Elder they became the
largest sugar refiners In the country IL
not in the world. Theodore was n
prominent figure In the organization Of
the American Sugar Refining Company.
in which his brother Is president, while
he filed the Office of vice president.
This gigantic corporation has virtual
ly controlled the price of sugar In the
markets.
Mr.. Havemeyer was prominent In the
social life of New York and was ia
nous as an entertainer. He was a
member Of about all Of the leading
clubs, possessed handsome residences
In New York and Newport, X. l., and
beautiful country place at Mahwah,
N. ]. He took deep interest in ath-
letic sports and always encouraged out
door exercise. At the time of his death
his wealth reached In the neighborhood
of $20,OOO,OOO.

Avoid all narcotic medicines, when
possible. About the most harmless Of
the efficacious alleviants of nervous
ness is three-gain pill composed Of the
valerianates Of iron, quinine and zinc,
taken every three hours.
Persons afflicted with boils will find
relief by taking good dose of Rochelle
salts before breakfast, several times
week. A one-fifth grain Of sulphide
calcium taken every three hours is also
suggested as remedy.
Stings are often relieved and cooled
by the use Of diluted or pure vinegar.
In such serious cases Of snake bites,
however, the internal administration Of
ammonia and other stimulants is re-
lied on. Externally, the wound may
be burned with some caustic--always
by a doctor.
One of the most invigorating forms
of bathing is the cold esponge bath
taken in the morning before breakfast.
Persons who do not react readily after
such bath, such as the very young,
the very old, or those who are seriously
weakened by disease. should not prac-
tice 1t. For a person Of average health,
however, the cold bath is an excellent
tonic.
Physicians recommend yawning. The
stretching of the arms and breastbones
which accompanies hearty yawn,
with the expansion of the lungs by the

The Day Of the Red Terror.

January 81, 1906, was the famous
"Day of the Red Terror" described by
medieval chroniclers. The dawn was
clear and beautiful, but shortly before
the sun rose the heavens became OBJ
scured in a strange red blaze. 1t hid
the sun and the crimson glare fell upon
the earth like the reflection of some
great confagration. Terror filed the
hearts of mankind everywhere. The
churches of Europe were filled the
whole day long. Anchorites and her.
mits came from their retreats and
cried aloud that the Day of Judgment
was at hand. In the afternoon and
evening some people declared they
could see angels and devils battling In
the air and that the blood Of the con-
fiict rained upon the earth. However,
about midnight the red pail disappear
ed before wind and the panic-stricken
people recovered their senses.

ed the feeling that she owes his people
no loyalty, she does not hesitate to
point out the various defects in their
characters. Constant dropping will
wear away q stone; continual detrac-
ton from the lips Of the woman he
loves best cannot but have democrat
iZing influence on the respect q young
man feels even for his nearest rela-
tives; and when respect Is gone the
beauty of filial and fraternal love is
gone too. The day may come when he
will once more see with his own eyes;
but the mischief is then beyond rem
edy, and nothing can wholly restore the
old harmonious relations. We may
agree, then, that for policy's sake, If a
higher motive is impossible, family
should endeavor to give a hearty well
come to the girl who has become en-
gagged to their son. Yet what shall we
say you girl who does not reciprocate
honest kindness loyalty? All right
minded people must feel indignation
and contempt for conduct so base. A
girl Is bound by every tie of duty and
seemliness to pay special honor to par
ents and the family Of her lover, and
young man is equally bound to honor
his future wife's relatives. Happily,
we believe that this mutual kindliness
and cordiality Is much more common
than it was. The majority of husbands
cherish most friendly feelings toward
their mothers-in-law, and there are nu-
merous cases where the husbands
mother Is honestly loved and respected
by her sons wife. This is as 1t should
be, and we sincerely hope that kind
ness and courtesy among relatives-at-
law may speedily become universal.

a minuet or spend an evening
where there was sprightly mu-
sic.
Andrew Jackson was the first
athlete produced by the United
States. He was passionately
fond of wrestling and was a
bully with those of his size. He
amused himself running, even
while in the White House. and
at boxing was such an enthusi-
asst that he imported gloves and
paraphernalia from England.
Martin Van Buren, inaugurated
fashionable driving at Washing
ton. He was too great a politi-
clan to leave the capital to hunt
or fish, but he would take long
drives with political friends.
William Henry Harrison was
noted for his dinners as far west
as the Pacific coast, and that in
1900 was a long way off. He
was appointed Governor Of the
territory of Indiana by John
Adams, and during his three or
four holdings was famous for
his dinner parties. Every visit
ing delegation was sumptuous-
ly entertained by him at the
LOG Cabin" on the banks of
the Wabash. President Ty-
Ter had two amusements. One
was the keeping of slaves whom
he managed on the broad, gen.
erous, strict and able plan of
the baronial estates of the days
of Bruce. His other recreation
was the raising of peaches, the
most magnificent specimens of
which came annually from
Sherwood Forest. While Pres
ident Tyler kept the fruit in
dustry uppermost he had a soft
spot for all agriculturists who
sought office. Zachary Taylor
would hurry through an annual
message and close a congress
sional session sooner than fore
go a practical joke. He liked to
play cards, but even here could
not refrain from the practical
joke, which made him unpopu-
lar at the euchre table. Frank
lin Pierce was the most noted
philanthropist of the day. Los
ing his family early, he devoted
his spare time to endowing wor-
thy institutions and lecturing-
without cost-for public benefit.
New Hampshire is filled with
monuments of his vigorous and
lifelong philanthropic campaign,
which he did not allow to SUM
Der during his presidency.

quent are well aware of it's significance,
and always prepare for a seismic dis
turbance. 1t is advanced, in explana-
ton Of this sign of fear that animals
are able to perceive things-such as
very slight movements-which escape
the eye of man; animals see these pre-
monitory signs and know what to ex-
pect, whereas man goes about his bust
ness quite unconscious of what is about
to happen.
In Japan it is usually the pheasants-
very numerous in the classic land of
earthquakes--which give the first dan
ger signal; they cry out and rush about
in characteristic fashion, and in few
minutes the shock is felt. Other birds
and animals, such as fowls and dogs,
also give warning signs.
