 Brains Bigger Than Mans. :.
 According to Professor Max Weber o1 Amsterdam, the only animals which surpass man in the absolute weight o1 their brains are elephants and whales, but there are several that rank ahead of him ill the ratio of the brain weight to the total weight of the body. All o1 these, however, are comparatively small animals. Among them are many mon keys and certain members of the squir rel and mouse families. No animal O. greater bodily size than man has brair which is relatively as large as his. Up on the whole, it seems that mans men tai superiority is due rather to the qual ity and organization than to the size O. | his brain.

BRIDGEPORT.

The manner In which the delegates 10
the Congressional convention were Sc
lected last week is still bone of con-
tention among the majority of the citi~
zens. The manner in which they were
selected it seems was a scheme to aid
Danford in securing the denomination,
as about all the delegates selected are
Danford men. Many are of the opin
ion that Danford will have a hard fight
to be nominated, and if nominated to
be elected, as his treatment of the old
soldiers has been and still is very shah
by. Not only that, he has not done
anything of importance during his
uration committee to be sure, but what
has he done, does anybody know? An
other reason given by many Republic
cans that he should not be renominat-
ed is that he has served three terms
already and it is about time somebody
else should be given chance.
An enjoyable social event took place
Wednesday evening at the home Of
Father Weigand, pastor of St. An

after which an excellent supper was
partaken of.

heceiSed From a Private Soldier Now on
the Way to Manila.
The following letter was received
from Timothy Mullen, of Washington,
Pa, volunteer in Company H, Tenth
pennsylvania Regiment, by Mr.. Ed
ward Hughes, of this city. The reg-
ment is now in the way to Manila to
reinforce Commodore Dewey. In the
letter Byron McKeown and Dave Cur
ran, both Of Washington, members of
Company H, are referred to. Both men
were connected with the Washington
ball team few years ago and are we'll
known in this city. When the COM
pany was enlisted at Washington Nc
Keown could not pass the physical eX-
animation nevertheless he was deter
mined not to be left behind, for he said
Never mind, III go with you anyhow,
just to take care of you" At San
Francisco some men were needed to fill
up the regiment and McKeown was
taken in and is now a member of the
company. The letter is as follows:
San Francisco, June %, 1898.
Dear Cousin:-I got your letter yes
terday and when you wrote me about
our coming away out here, nothing
could suit me better than going across
the Pacific, and if we ever get back we
will be able to tell bigger lies than
ever. We are having a fine stay here
and could not be treated better. The
finest people in the city drive up to
camp and bring fruit cake and every
thing that anyone would want, even
strawberry short cake The day we
arrived they would not allow anyone
inside the lines, so they stood outside
and threw oranges by the bushel at
us. | never saw such a State, for here
the people seem to think there is moth
ing too good for us. l went to mass
Sunday with Byron McKeown and
Dave Curran | suppose you have
heard Of them and know who they are.
Almost everybody out here are Catho-
lies; they have mass right here in
camp. l thank you very much for the
paper. Give my best to Mrs. Hughes
and all the rest, not forgetting Jim
Tully. Your cousin,
TIMOTHY MULLIN.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Last evening there was a particu-
larly sad case of attempted suicide, the
victim being Charley Bosley, the we'll
known and popular son of P. w. Bos-
ley. The attempt was made at the ia
mily residence, No. Al Fifteenth street.
Mr.. Bosley was in his room alone,
when the attention Of his brothers was
attracted by a noise in the apartment.
They went thither, and found that
Charley had cut his throat with a
razor. Drs. F. ]. Hupp and Reed were
summoned, and ascertained that while
the wind-pipe and gullet had been Sc
vered, the large arteries had not been
touched. The wound was seWed up,
and there is rather more than fight
ing chance that his life will be saved.
The deed was promoted by desponden-
CIV and consequent mental irresponsl-
bility. and the act as well as the causes
actuating it, are to be greatly deplored.

with people, last evening, upon the oc-
casion Of the reception given by the

to the United States.
Not less than five hundred people,

secretary to the Papal delegate, Rev.
Father OConnor, Rev. Father McMen-

pie were presented to Archbishop Mar

the greetings bestowed upon him, while
many old friends Of Archbishop Kahn
took advantage Of the opportunity to
shake him by the hand.
Later in the evening addresses of a
brief nature were delivered by Arch
bishop Kahn, DR.. Rocker, and several
others. The occasion was all the more
delightful from a certain informality
which prevailed. and at Ten o'clock
those present dispersed.

passed very pleasant week here
