CURIOUS INCONSISTENCY
There is a curious inconsistency in the
position of those who contend that Con-
cress can guard us against free silver
coinage and seem to think that Congress
cannot defend us against Imperialism or
be trusted to deal with trusts. Mr.. Bryan
can precipitate u panic upon US without
the aid of Congress and against its will.
Mr.. Mckinley cannot commit US to inn
periaiiSn or deliver us over 10 the trusts
without a Congress to help him.
Il have not, however. the least idea
that Mr. Mckinley wishes to make him
self emperor or to destroy OUR liberties.
If he had any purpose of that kind he
would it appears to me, have begun on
the South where the necessities OF our
condition have given him pretcx:s. AS a
matter of fact. he has left US q free hand
to work out our own particular problems
in our own way. and he has impressed
me as hroad-mindell, conservative and
patriotic citizen of unusually pure per-
sonal character. whose mistakes have re-
suited from his anxiety to- obey what he
believed to be the will os the people.

cratic ex-Governorss OF Virginia. and by.
the only Democratic President the coun-
try has had in fifty years.

Funny Story About a Russian Beast
 Which Slept in a Bed.
 Livonia is 8 part of our globe where, fondness for pets co-exists with love of sport. A Russian subject from that province tells me of the strange consid- eration evinced by one of her neigh bors for the feelings of bear The an- ial had an odd fancy for sleeping in- doors and In a bed 10 humor him, room in tower was always left open for the animal. Some nights he came and availed himself of the hospitality, but often he staid out in the woors. If he arrived at his tower, and mounted the long flight of steps which led from outside to his own door. and found that anything prevented his entrance. the bear made a horrible noise, growing and battering the woodwork. In Liyo- mia, during the brief northern summer the local magnates visit each other without prior arrangements; and they arrive prepared to stop the night.

New Haven Man Commits Suicide in
 Bridgeport.
 Bridgeport, Jan. 6.-Adolph Beck, for ty-eight years of age, whose home was in New Haven, was found dead in a room over Hughes saloon at 53 Water street, opposite the depot, Friday even- ing. It was evident that death had been caused by 1audanum taken with suicidal intent. A rambling statement in German condemned the dead mans wife, and spoke of a divorce. Beck was a man who drank considerably more li- quor than was good for him. and he lost several places through incompetence. He was discharged from the employ of the hospital last month on account of drink. He told the hospital authorities that he had wife, three daughters and a son in New Haven and brother in this city.
 Becks remains were identified by his family this morning. A wife, a son and four daughters survive the deceased, The family reside at 260 Wooster street, New Haven. A curious fact regarding the suicide is that he is a brother-in- law of Mir. KurtZenacker in whose sa- loon a. few days ago the Swiss named Wirthlein, also of New Haven, dropped dead.

 Hundreds of people stood along the street and cheered him on
 Elson's most noteworthy feat was covering 526 miles in one of the big six day races in New York. He leaves daughter in this city, Mrs. Arthur Dur and Lewis. E,lson left Meriden to reside in New London about eight years ago.

SASATIES AND KLUITJES.

The instinct of good feeding is ill

Tangerines or naartjes are very | common fruit, and preserve called 1 "naartje comfyt" is quite excellent. The | fruit is preserved whole with sugar and syrup, and has an exquisite aroma peculiarly it's own. There is an eXcel- lent kind of cake called moss bolletjes," :" made of grapes and raisins and "moss," which is the juice of the grape in it's first stages of fermentation During
 
 Cape Colony, this is commonly used in stead of yeast by the country folks for buns and such like.
 An old Dutch sweetmeat is called 'koe-sisters," and is made of flour, sug ar, spices, eggs, butter, and yeast. They are dipped in syrup and dried. Their particular excellence lies in the fact that
 if they are properly made they will keep for months 'Honing koek" is just hon. ey cake, and is very sweet and rich; it is favored with brandy, and is not unlike the French pain depices.

They are dried in the hot sun, then fiattened out and the stone extracted, crystallized sugar and salt are sprinkled over them, and they are then stored for Winter use. Many peo- pie declare that "mebos" is an eff1ca- cious remedy for seasickness. "Rys kluitjes' are simple rice dumplings, usually eaten with curry or with boil ed corned beef, and they form an excel- lent accompaniment to sweet potatoes, which are luxury in themselves.
