Here is what an English paper has to
say about how u country shall be run
on the British plan: "The suggestion
that Gen. Leonard Wood would be a
suitable person to fill the position of
colonial secretary is one that will meet
with widespread approval. Gen. Wood
has made an enviable record at Santi-
ago and as colonial secretary would
give equal satisfaction" Wood, Of
course, as a splendid specimen of the
American soldier, but there is no show
for such q cabinet officer as colonial
secretary. The very word colonial is
ahhorrent to every American. But
these impudent Englishmen never
seem capable Of learning the real SEN
timents that govern in this republic

It is a startling fact that the sugges-
ton has been seriously made that the
recent Kidnapping of a child was done
by agents of a newspaper, for the pur-
pose Of creating a news sensation in
which that particular paper would
'have the inside track" The sugges-
ton was probably not true. But the
fact that it could be made seriously,
and be regarded by the public as not
fantastically impossible. speaks vol
umes as to it's belief in the excuses
of sensational newspapers.

important cablegrams have been re-
ceived at the state department from
the Philippine commission and at the
war department from Gen. Otis con-
corning a new move in the direction of

them pubic because the uitrasoptfnis-
tic views heretofore received from the
same source have not been borne out
by subsequent events. The latest dis
patches, however, are more encourag-
ing than the previous ones, but the
president wishes to have some positive
results before making them public.

FAIR HAVEN

The Ansonia Sentinel says of well
known New Haven man; Captain J.
b. Weaver Of Fair Haven is in town
visiting various friends. Captain
Weaver was member of the Twentieth
Connecticut volunteers in the civil war.
His title comes from his having followed
the sea as commander of sailing vessels.
Captain Weaver has the distinction OF
having been the commander of the last
vessel to have been built In and launch
ed from any of Derbys shipyards. This
boat was the schooner Modesty, which
was launched thirty-seven years ago
from the shipyard at the Derby locks by
the HalIocks, who built the Modesty for
Thomas Chaplain, formerly of Shelton,
who placed Captain Weaver in charge"

SILVER EELS.
salt Water Drives Them FsOm Famous
Tond ut Fishers Island

The famous silver cells of Fishers Is
land will soon be no more. Silver Eel
pond is known to most fishermen and
sportsmen in this vicinity. 1t is located
on this side of Fishers Island some way
back of the Munnatawket house.
1t is quite large body Of water and a
peculiar kind of cells have made their
home in it. Silver cells are long and
thin, with white stripe running under
meath, They are not better eating, al
though some persons prefer them to the
regular salt water cells.
Since the government began to build
Notifications on the island many
changes have been made. Among other
things channel has been cut about sew
enty feet wide from the sound into Sill
yer Eel pond, distance of perhaps sew
enty feet. Then a wharf was built at
one side of the pond. The bank was
abrupt, and little work was required to
make a wharf with twelve feet of water.
The pond was dredged so it affords a
fine harbor and landing place for boats
bringing supplies and materials for gov
eminent work.
The tapping of the sea salt water into
the brackish waters of Silver Eel pond,
and the silver striped inmates of the
pond could not stand the change Some
sought to escape by way Of the channel,
others remained. A fisherman crossing
the pond lately saw dozens Of cells lying
at the bottom with their silver stripes
uppermost showing that they were
dead. Other fishermen, spearing for cells
in Little Hay harbor, have brought up
silver cells from out of the mud or in dy-
ing condition. They no doubt were
some of the number which had left the
pond by way Of the channel and had
dug into the mud to escape the briny
water of the sound.
