THE FIGHT AGAINST QUAY.

Now that our own senato torial contest is out of the way the people of Connec- ticut can pay attention to the contest that is going on in Pennsylvania, con- test which is perhaps the most remark able that has even taken place in this country Senator Quay is making hard fight, but the indications are that he isn't gaining. Indeed he seems to be weaker than he was on the night when the Republican caucus was nine teen votes short of majority of the legislature. Senator Elkins claims that Quay is stronger, but admits that his election next week is not probable. Fifty-one members of the legislature have now signed a paper pledging themselves not to vote for Quay while the charges against him are pending. At conference of the anti-Quay mem bers yesterday Senator Flynn of Ale ghany presided, and made a speech congratulating his colleagues on the growth of the movement against Sena- tor Quay's reelection. He said there was no possibility of the senator's elec- tion, and that there would be no way ering among the members of the legis- lature opposed to his candidacy. A new pledge binding the signers not to vote for MT. Quay until he is acquitted was adopted and signed.
 The candidates will be voted for next Tuesday in the two branches, meeting separately, but as none of them will re- ceive majority in both bodies, a joint senatorial convention will be held the following Wednesday, to be repeated until candidate is elected or the legis- lature adjourns finally without result.

HOPE FOR CONSUMPTIYES.

There is more hope for consumptives the establishment of the new hospital for consumptives sin that State, and there will soon be more hope for con- sumptives in New York. The report of the special committee of the New York senate appointed to consider the advisa- bility of establishing a State hospital for consumptives in the Adirondacks has been submitted to the senate. The committee recommends that the State establish a hospital in the Adirondack forest preserve for the treatment of cases of tuberculosis, the site to be se- lected by the trustees provided for in the proposed bill submitted with the report. The bill provides that the sum of s2OO,OoO be appropriated for the pur- pose of erecting and equipping the pro- posed hospital buildings. It is provided that within thirty days after the pass age of the act the governor shall ap- point five citizens of the State to con- stitute the trustees of the State hospital for consumptives, who shall be appoint ed for three years, who are empowered to select site within the forest pre- serve wherein to construct the hospital at cost not to exceed $150,000, which shall be completed and provided with ample facilities for the accommodation of 200 patients within two years from the passage of the act. The trustees are to receive an annual salary of $1,00O per year during the construction of the building upon the completion of which their salaries are to cease. In order to supply to the public needed information concerning the disease the committee recommends the passage of a resolution directing the State Board of Health to issue circular containing information

His mild outbreak yesterday will cause some stir and it may lead to court-martial for him. It is to be hoped that the truth will finally come out, even if 1t does hurt the canned beef business. And if the canned beef busi- ness should happen to be vindicatad and the honor and honesty of everybody up- held then the result would be indeed glorious. At present the situation is somewhat cloudy and the choice be- tween "embalmed beef' and 'liar' seems to be about all that is offered

MRS. PL1CE,S CASE

Mrs. Martha Place, of Brooklyn, New York, is within sight of the electric chair. She killed her stepdaughter on February 7 1S9S and was subsequently, convicted of murder. She has exhaust ed all judicial resources to save her life. The Court of Appeals has just affirmed the judgment of c6nviction.
 The crime of which Mrs. Place was found guilty was an extremely wicked one. It was deliberately planned and fiendishly carried out. The stepdaugh- ter, for whom Mrs. Place had dislike, was strangled in her bed, and when the girls father came home at night he was met in the hall by his wife, armed with an ax. He was stricken down in the dark and narrowly escaped death. But Mrs. Place is a woman, and every effort will be made to save her from the fate that would surely be hers if she were a man. Governor Roosevelt has been ap- pealed to, and the sentimentalists are active.
 Of course it is an awful thing for a woman to suffer capital punishment, and it is also an awful thing for wo- man to commit such crime as Mrs. Place committed. Perhaps nobody ought to be judicially killed, but where capital punishment is the fashion it should be equally administered Mrs. Places sex doesn't mitigate the horri- ble quality of her crime.

that the skirt will fit very snug to the knee and from that point to the hem be mass of ruffles and laces. The cord ed effect in the ruffles is no longer de- sirabe.
 As to hats, it does seem as if the birds might be spared somewhat for there are many other stylish trimmings. It is surprising to note the various sorts of trimming and on one frail little hat. You may see, for instance, the wide spread wings of some poor blue jay perched right in front then droop- ing towards the back find couple of ostrich plumes and few knots of vel vet and satin ribbon of contrasting shades, while under the brim will be at least three roses and a bit of lace Then the edge to this hat is mink, and when closely examined you will find one of the grinning fur heads. Such hat heavy? No; think of what a picture hat it is, and forget the weight of 1t in the consciousness of how 1t becomes you! Seriously 1t is difficult matter to find plainly trimmed hat, and ap- parently there Is rivalry among milli- ners in respect to grotesoue arrange ments of wings feathers, birds and furs. The hat described was a typical one in the amount and variety of garni- ture, and most others are like it, too, in bearing plumage of one sort or another. That is, though there are many other sorts of trimming, each sort Is usually combined with plumage, so there is small comfort for birds feathers
 A quill or two is enough for most walking hats, but so much most of them have. Then the hats themselves are quite different from the original se- we're type. The one shown here was black felt, but it's crown was draped with black and white striped silk and this was shaped into several loops at the right side. Its quill was black

A Chicago man of enterprise has in- vented and sells to cattle dealers direct ily device which he calls "shrinker." It fits on the end of the beam of plat form scales. When so placed it appears to be a legitimate part of the scale. It's effect is to reduce the weight of hogs placed upon such scales from ten to twelve pounds each, and corresponding ly of cattle. The excuse for using the 'shrinker' is that farmers fill up their stock with swill before bringing them to the local dealer to be weighed, and if he discounts the sWill the dealer is doing nothing more than protecting himself from the sharp practice of the farmer. Quite sale for "shrinkers" at S25 to $50 each has developed in the hog-raising sections of the west. The railroad companies, discovering that they were being victimized by under weights, sent out agents to look up the trouble. These agents reported that it was due to the "shrinker." The effect is that the railroads accept no weight hut their own from stations where deal- CTS employ the Chicago mans scale de- vice.
