the tomato crop this year is something tre-

what to do with it. This is about the only

FISH RETURNING TO THE
 TIT AMFS

If we do not soon see salmon at Lon don Bridge, there is fair prospect of our catching sea trout there before long, The main cause is the gradual cleansing of the Thames water, largely through the action of the County Coun- ell In securing better treatment Of the London sewage; while minor contri- button is made by the efforts of the Thames Conservancy to make the Thames not only 8 navigable water way, but a clean one. The sure and certain indexes of this improvement have been the successive reappearances of certain kinds of fish, creeping up an- nually higher and higher from the sea-
 The writer has noted this process for some eleven years, with increasing sat isfaction The first indication convey ed to his mind that some change was taking place was the appearance of a couple of porpoises at Hammersmith Bridge early on the morning of the Hateful day when MT. Gladstone's s home rule bill was rejected. Walking back to Chiswick, after witnessing the memorable scene in the lobby of the House of Commons at 2:30 that morn ing, he saw the porpoises, and though Roman annalists would have entered this as an incident full of political omen-monstra maritima in Tiberi visa he guessed that they had come up in pursuit of fish. So they had, for short ly after 1t was announced that the tubes of certain torpedo boats had been checked with whitebait on their way down to run the mile at Lower Hope. A few years later the whitebait and shrimps were swarming at Grave send.
 In 1894 it was rumored that Thames founders had once more been caught off Chiswick Eyot, almost on the spot where the last salmon was taken in 17S5, in the Bishop of London's fishery. In the winter of 1896 and the spring of 1897 the first practical results were felt in the London market. Whitebait shoals swarmed in the Lower Thames and it's tributaries, and bait became cheap luxury.-The Cornhill.

WANT TO INVITE PRESIDENT
 MCKINLEY,

It being settled that Yale, Harvard and Cornell will row their annual races on the Thames course, there is a likelihood that Columbia and Pennsyl- vania will conclude to get into the band wagon along with the rest, in which case we shall have great and glorious month of June here in New London
 Would 1t not be an occasion of such national importance as to warrant in viting President Mckinley to become the city's guest for the great day when Harvard, Yale and Cornell contest, and for as much longer a period as he might feel that he could spare from the cares of state? If the president has never seen boat race on the Thames, he has something waiting for him in the nature of a sensation, and no man can better describe the blood-stirring spectacle than Secretary John Addison Porter, who knows all about college rowing.
 New London would be proud and de- lighted to show the president the old town under such exceptional conditions as race day affords It is not too early in the year to send an invitation to the president, for his time needs to be carefully apportioned to go around New London Day.

A GREAT SUFFERER.

The late Mary H. Blatchley, wife of Joel Blatchley, who died recently at her home in Nut Plains, Guilford, at the age of 5S years, was afflicted with a disshse of the spine. which ultimately affected the bones of her whole body. Few cases of the kind have ever been known in the state. She was afflicted about two and half years ago and gradually grew worse until it was im- possible to leave her bed, and there she has lain for two whole years, a helpless cripple, and suffering as few mortals are called upon to suffer, while her husband and family and kind friends administered all the comforts it was possible for her to enjoy
 The disease caused the bones to be- come lifeless and honeycombed and draw her body and limbe out of shape, the bones assuming what might be termed a chalky appearance and be- coming brittle, rendering her entirely helpless The disease advanced so that one arm broke or parted by simply lift ing it, while the other arm broke three times In like manner. Everything was done to relieve the sufferer and make her burden easier to bear until she was called to that land where suffering is not known.
 Mrs. Blatc1fley leaves a husband and three sons to mourn their loss, the sons being William, Samuel and Frederick all of this place. She was sister to Mrs. Daniel Spencer of West Side and Mrs. William Bishop of Nut Plains. Be- fore her marriage she was Miss Mary Hall Davis, daughter of Samuel and Harriet Benton Davis of Guilford. ,

LADY SHERIFFS.

The earliest recorded hereditary lady sheriffs of Westmoreland appear to have been Isabella de Clifford and Idonea de Leyburn, who held the of- fee jointly: the latest to have been the famous Anne de Clifford, who became hereditary High Sheriff of Westmore- land in the year 1643, and appears to have fulfilled the duties of that office for more than twenty years. We have also records of Fla, Countess of Sails bury, High Sheriff of Wits, in the reign of Henry III, and of Nicholaa de la Hayne, High Sheriff of Lincoln, in the reigns of John and Henry III. Before the accession of Queen Victoria there had only been four Queens Regnant of England since the time of the Norman Conquest-Mary Tudor, Elizabeth Tu- dor, Mary. wife of William of Orange, and Anne. Presumably these four lex captions were sufficient to establish the constitutional right of Queen Vic toria, but far greater number of lex captions is held by our highest judges to be inadequate to establish the con- stitutional right of any Englishwoman to hold any public office.
 We have evidence in the past of the existence of women Justices of the

BEATS THE OLDEST INHABITANI


 Bethlehem, Feb. 29-The talk of the day is the conwtinued storm, which be- day is the continued storm, which we have had a succession of storms until the present time, rain and snow alter natins On Sunday ice began forming on trees, fences, shrubbery, etc., and it still hangs on. Many shade trees, ap- pie and chestnut, are nearly divested of tops and limbs which have fallen to the ground with the heavy weight of ice The ice seems to be confined to the hill tops, as in Guild Hollow and Nonne- waug valley no ice is to be seen. In the elevated parts of the town and all through the center there is great de- struction of naples, which have here tobefore withstood the storms of many years Telephone poles are down and wires are wrecked for the distance of two miles. The highway has been ob- structed by limbs, which have had to be cut away. Such an ice storm is not within the memory of the oldest citizen and the country presents a gloomy as- pect.

sLAvs, czEcHs. RuTHEN1ANs.

SLAN ANS, CZECHS, RUTHENlANS.
 The unity of the Slavs is hardly more
 than an ethnographical abstraction.
 For political purposes it is non-exist-
 ent. Thus, the Poles are not Czechs,
 although both are Slavs; they speak
 different tongues, the former possess
 ing rich literature, the latter very
 poor one; their political history has lit
 tie in common and as lately as four
 years ago the Poles were allied with
 the Germans against their brothers,
 the Czechs. The Ruthenians, who are
 also Slavs, have no great love for the
 Czechs, while they utterly loathe the
 Poles, and their language is very diff
 ferent indeed from that of either of the
 other two peoples, as are also their al-
 phabet they use Russian characters)
 and their religion. The Czech idiom is
 to the Ruthenian as German Is to Eng
 fish or as French is to Roumanian. Then come the Croatians, who are not only Slavs, but the very purest speci- mems of the race; and they would feel mortally offended If they were con- founded with any of the foregoing. The Slovenians. whose very name proclaims them to be Slavs, would be less wrathful at such a mistake, prob ably because their very backward state of civilization would lead them to re- gard it as a compliment. But they diff | fer in may respects from Czechs, Poles, Ruthenians. and Croatians. Nothing, however, could characterize the situa- | tion more satisfactorily than the cir constance that, whenever a Panslay- | onic Conference is convoked, the chosen | representatives of the various Slavic | sections are forced to converse with 1 each other in German! Thus, the Slavs | of Austria Hungary are not united by l the bond of religion, history, language, | literature or identical political aspira- 1 tions. Even at the present moment the Polish Slavs in Austria persecute
 their brethren, the Ruthenians quite as ruthlessly as the Russians used to per
 secute the Poles.-The Contemporary | Review.

WHAT BISHOP VINCENT SAYS.


 A private letter received in this city from Bishop Vincent, dated En Route, February q, says: "The Voice, a New York temperance CD paper. publishes my picture and says under it: pr. Vincent would not send a son to Yale have just written to Dr. Funk of the Voice the following: Dear Dr.. Funk: I do feel grieved at the sensa- tional announcement in the Voice that I would not send a son to Yale" I never said or thought any such thing And I never signed any document re- lating to mo license in a college town" with the thought of Yale university in my mind. The only son I ever had I sent to Yale; and I have never regret ted it. Please publish this statement in the Voice. Truly yours, John H. Vincent Please show this to Presi- dent Dwight"

Foote drives spir- tied horse and MT. Burr goes two miles to the creamery every morning, hand ling forty quart can of milk with the apparent ease of young man.

A VERY OLD WHEEL.
MT. Smith of Stamford Owns It and He
 Purchased It Many Years Ago.

MT. Smith of Stamford Owns It and He
 Purchased It Many Years Ago.
 There is an interesting relic in the possession of c. E. Smith, who was one of the earliest experts Stamford produced in the noble art of wheeling. MT. Smith keeps the following bill, says the Stamford Allocate, which, so far as can be ascertained, has the distinction of making the sale of the oldest wheel now in Stamford, excepting, of course, carriage and machinery wheels:
 Bridgeport, Jan. 21, 1869. MT. c. F. Smith,
 To J. H. Sterling, Dr. Jan. 21. One Russian Velocipede, in
 rough. .....................$ $S0 Reed payment,
 Julian H. Sterling.
 "In rough" means unplained, and, as the painting cost about $2O more, MT. Smith had to pay for his lone Russian velocipede' just about what high class wheel would cost now. MT. Smiths velocipede is not one of the Thigh flyers we used to see.
 The Russian bicycle is more desirable in appearance that the high wheel. It is long and low, with two fair sized wheels, and presents respectable ap- pearance, though it weighs about a hundred pounds.
 The wheels which Mir. Smith still has stored away was made from his own design by the Sterling company. It is hand forged, and bell metal is used for all the bearings. It has a string brake, whcih winds up gradually, an arrange ment which appears grotesque to the present-day rider. Of course, it was odd and old-fashioned, this Russian ve- locipede, and has been replaced for use by first one and then another of the later designs. Very few men now-a- days would think that they could ride hundred pound wheel. Yet MT. Smith, in his younger days, rode it constantly and gave trick exhibitions on it.-Norwalk Hour.

NAMES OF ENGLISH MAGAZINES.

Not a few magazines bear the name of the publisher. This is neat way out of the difficulty, but it is quite un- enlightening. An acquaintance with the personal idiosyncrasies of Messrs Cassell, Chambers, Longman. Macmil- Ian, and Pearson would be of little ser vice to an investigator of the periodi- calls of which these publishers are the patron saints. Of late years the fash ion has grown of laying claim to some street or district of London. So we have publications, daily, weekly, or monthly, named after Belgravia- Corn hill, Ludgate Hill, Pail Mall, St. James the Strand, the Temple. Temple Bar Westminster and Whitehall. The only predictions that one would have vent ured to make would have. been that the Cornhill would deal with finance, and that there would be legal flavor about the Temple. These forecasts, however would have been as unfortunate as the expectation that there would be an especially courtly tone about the Wind sor.-The Academy.

Autonomy.

The steamer also had aboard Senor Don Giberga, who had been to Spain as senator from Cuba, and was now returning with the so-called autonomy; and upon our arrival in Havana many boats and steamers. and the largest ferryboat, came out with band of music to meet the great statesman and lawyer, and to escort him to town, while every pier and available space was crowded with people.
 We had to go at once to our consul and our American doctor stationed at Havana, to see if our vaccination and health would permit us to leave the is land via Tampa. We remarked to the

tilities. However, another month
may witness an entire change in h
situation. Should the war be brought
to a sudden close, money will loosen
up and the industrial situation will
rapidly improve. Montana wool
growers should be in no hurry to dis
pose of their clips. The country is in
a healthy condition and the timidity
among manufacturers and commits
sion men will diminish with each
American victory. Three months
ago there We're the very best pros
poets of a good wool market, and,
while it may be a little tardy, it is
only a question of a short time when
buyers will be eager to cur the
clips. 1t may be SO by the time Mon
tana wool is ready for the market.

For thirteen years Mrs. George l. Rogers,
Of West Main Street, Canton, N. Y, suffered
from the INDISPENSABLE tortures of inlam-
mAtory rheumatism.
Only persons who have been afflicted
with this disease know what sueh suffer-
ing il.
Those who have never felt the panss of
this ailment have not the remotest idea of
its tortures.
For years this was an obstinate disease
10 cure.
In recent years, however, there has been
formulated a remedy which successfully
copes with It.
The many cures effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People attest to that fact.
One OF the striking examples is Mrs.
Rogers experience.
In speaking of 1t to a reporter she said:
"Thirteen years ago / was attacked with
i~nflammatory rheumatism and a comp!ica-
ton of diseases.
IL cannot begin to describe my sufferings
during that time.
"You can Judge somewhat of what l
endured, when you look at these hands"
They were distorted, twisted and swollen.
"My foot, too, Is so much out of shape
that the big toe lays across the others, the
end touching the little toe.

old, ave a pleasant home and other COM
forts, Life to me was far from enjoyable, for

Considerable interest is being mani
tested as to which of the three party
conventions Congressman Hartman
will attend this year as 1.-The gentle
man from Gallatin." He is still
classed by that part of the state
press which is friendly to him as a
''silver Republican," while he himself
loses no opportunity to vote under
the leadership of Congressman Bailey
of Texas, the Democratic leader on
the floor of the house, especially when
there is the least inclination to divide
on party lines. He even went so ar
the other day as to vote under that
leadership against the bill to provide
ways and means to meet war eX-
penditures, which passed the house
April %. BY his votes in the house
during the present session he has
fully qualified himself for admission
to the Democratic caucus, and it is
not unlikely that he has been taken
i'm by that party.
