EASILY LOSE THEIR NERVE.
Hc"ry People Collapse Utterly When They Are Ccnfr2ntcd by
 Danger.

CT remember once hearing of fellow who coming uniniured cut of a railway wreck. worked ike a demon to assist his less fortunate fclIow-passengcrs," sai a railway official recently. accord ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer. "All the time he was at work, however, he held one hand to his collar, and, wh en it was over, one of his companions dis covered that he was holding tight to his necktie, which he had been in the act of tying when the collision oc- cured.
 People act very qUeerly when they are or think they are in danger.
 T know a young girl who had learned to swim quite well and one day shetried to swim across a river. There were plenty of people about and the distance was not great, but when she was half way across some one called out: How deep is it?' She let her foot down and of course. found she was out of her depth. Instantly she lost her nerve and sank. She came up once, tried to scream, but the water choked her and down she went again.
 z "A man, realizing that something 7 was wrong, jumped in, clothes and all and pulled her cut. He was none tee soon, for she was unconscious when he pulled her up. It was the sheer fright of knowing that she was out of he1 depth that caused it all, as otherwise there wasn't the slightest danger"

c The Elm Athletic club football team iplays the strong T. 4. B. team in
 Winsted to-day, and hard game is seXpected. This is the team that beat
 the St Thomas Cadets early in the

 efforts of Coach John Egan, who is

The Films have been handicapped by the injury of several of their best players. which made it necessary for Manager ]. Cosgrove to cancel several of their best games. There is one
 game the football public Of WaterDury wishes to see. and that is q game be- tween the Films and the St Thomas Cadets, and it is the intention of the 1 Films to post substantial purse with one of the newspapers. and arrange q game for the championship of the city. as the Cadets claim to be the | legitimate champions by virtue of their l defeating the Merrimacs.

SAVED HER HUSBANDS LIFE.
Countess Ito of Japan Proved Her Courage in Time of
 Great Peril.

Count Ito, late prime minister of Japan, is exceedingly proud of his pretty little wife, and wei. he may be- for not only is she in every way charm ing, but to her he owes his life. It is said that a number of years ago, when quite young woman, during rebel lion, Count Ito was hiding from his ene- mics, who. having tracked hin to his home, ssnt q Eand of "soshis.' to assas- sinate him. On hearing his enemies approaching. and trapped like rat in its hole. the count drew his sword and prepared to die. but the countess whispered: Do not Gie; there is hope still" and, removing the "hibatchi.' .' or fire box, and lifting up the mats and the blanks beneath, she induced her husband to conceal himself in the ho!- low space which exists under the floor of all Japanese houses. The 1nurdcrers broke into the room just as the fire box had been replaced and demanded of the countess their victim. In vain they threatened and cruelty i'll treated her, dragging her about the room by her long black hair. But it was of no avail :; they could not shake her resolute fidel- ity. Thanks to her courage. Count Ito escaped, and has lived to give 10 lis country a new constitution and become one of the greatest statesmen of mod. ern Japan.

TOD SLOANE TALKS.
Has Made No Engagement For Next
 Year and May Not Ride in England.

Jockey James TOdhunter Sloane. who arrived from England en the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse on Thurs day night, had a little to say yester- day about his experiences in England in spite of his signed statement made before leaving the other side that he would not replyEto intervieWcrS. He replied in the negative when asked ii there Was.any chance. of his riding for the Prince of Wales next year. Tod said that the reported interview be tween the prince and himself did not take place and that they had no words whatever over the decision of the prince not to carry out the contract to engage him as jockey. Sloane was asked as to the real cause of tie fall ing through of the contract with the prince. and whether it was not due to the jealousy and prejudice ill Eng land against American jockeys He rcHlied:
 Well. now, you cannot expect me to answer that. I am i'll plenty of trouble as it is, and any statement to that effect would put me in a worse light than ever. The public knows the cause as well as ! do.''
 Sloane was asked if he expected to be retained by any other Englishman and if he had signed any contracts. to which he replied:
 "l have not signed any contracts and what is more I do not intend to. If l go to England at all, and there, | is some doubt of it, l shall ride as a | free lance, the same as | have done this year. l have made no plans what ever and it is possible that I may stay in the United States. am going 1 to the Pacific Coast now and shall be | there for month or six weeks. After | that 1 shall return to New York;
 Tod said that he was perfectly sat | ished with his seasons work and that
 he hoped Lester Reiff would come out of the investigation as to his riding all
 right. He also confirmed the state
 ments that the English riders were
 changing their style and copying the | Americans. Even the stable boys "
 he said, are being broken in to ride
 our way"

 Middle of May.

Work Cn the new yacht at the He Tc- shoffs' ward for the derence uf the America's cup is to be rushed along GII the boat will be ready early in thn spring. It is said that the mould for the frames has been started and that preparations are being made to cast the lead keel. HerreShOff has plentv of material on hand and the contracts for what will be required have hecu placed. Every one identified with the new boat realizes that there is n0 time to waste and everything that can bn done to get the boat out early in order that she may be properly tuned up be fore meeting the Shamrock will be done.
 ". Butler Duncan. Jr. the manag of the new defender, has set about his work with vim that bodes i'll for the boats that he will go against. Talk ing yesterday he said:
 T expect the new yacht will be out early. how early l do not care to say just now; but if We can have q trial against the Columbia by the mid dle of May I shall be satisfied. That will leave three full months in which
 to get the new boat i'll proper shape. which is about the time that the Col

I think Harris could be in- duced to make a six round nght With you here, providing Cans does not win his match with the Terrible Terry. It would not be I bad idea to come on here and challenge the winner of the McGoYern-GanS fight of December 13- I have shifted the date from the 11th to the 18th. The proper way would be to come on here with q good stiff forfeit. and post it just before the men enter the ring. Let me hear from you Yours very truly Lou Will you challenge as suggestedE' reporter asked Erne. No" said he. emphati- cally. For one thing. I don't want the winner. I will not fight Cans again. 1 fought him after five years of bounding and I won't fight him again. Neither do I care to fight Me Govern if he is the winner l was promised first chance with him. and if l don't get it. and it doesn't seem 1 will. I am through fighting. That's all. and that's final" Which goes to prove that Erne is the champion sniV- eler of America. He will not fight Me Govern if the latter beats Cans. Who could blame him?

tbs OVER.

80 WEN
The country, or at least a large ma
jority of the people, heaye heavy sigh
OF relief in the fact that the campaign
is oyer and that business may now
again resume its normal channels. 1t
was great victory for the republican
party, yet the BANNER Is not surprised
at the size OF il. We expected 1T. IL
was a constant source of wonder to us,
the claims put forth by some of the
Bryan men how they were going to
sweep the country, whether they real
ly believed their own statements, or
whether they were simply putting on
bold front and whistling loudly 30 as
to appear courageous, knowing certain
defeat awaited them. All unpre-
JUDGED authorities predicted republi-
can success and we believe there are
very few that secretly If not openly do
not rejoice in it. Imperialism was not
an issue. The people took no stock in
it. There is not the slightest danger
of an empire in this country and all
knew it. The main battle was along
the same line as in '96, sound money
VS.. debased currency. The people
have now passed twice, and each time
very decisively, upon this issue and 1t
would seem as though Organism was
forever killed. 1t is very doubtful II
we see another campaign with this for
an issue for some time to come. DEM
ocrats generally accept their defeat
very philosophically, realizing that
they are honestly beaten, and are now
ready to drop politics, and turn In
and attend strictly to business. That
is the correct idea and we commend
them in it. We have a little more
politics in this country than is really
necessary anyway and now that it is
settled the sooner we drop it and hump
ourselves to business the better it will
be all round.
There is much in this result bearing
favorably upon the future OF our own
city of Belding. Had we stated dur
ing the campaign some OF the things
which we had knowledge as to what
the election OF Bryan would have
meant in its immediate effect upon
our city, the democrats would have
said we were creating imaginary
"bogies" to brighten the people. We
did not consider it necessary to resort to
that kind ola campaign. We had con-
fidence in the good sense of a majority
of the people and that confidence was
not misplaced Now we confidently
expect to see our city enjoy very
healthy and strong boom during the
next year. Watch it and see if we are
not right.

When tie legislature meets at Lam
sing in January, one Of the first mat
tiers it ought to take up is the rush
marriage business which has been 60
ing on at st. Joseph the past two years,
Previous to two years ago, Chicago
citizens who did not wish to get mar
ried in the conventional manner went
on Sunday excursions to Milwaukee or
other Wisconsin ports, till the evil
grew so grea. that the legislature Of
Wisconsin passed law providing that
a marriage license should be procured
and published for five days before a
marriage took place. The justices and
ministers at ST. Joseph have reaped a
rich harvest during the past season,
and the lawyers and divorce courts OF
Illinois are now coming In for their
share. The marriage contract is one
of the most sacred and binding of an
that can be entered into, and ought to
be governed by laws as stringent and
effective as it is possible to make them.

Election machines were used to quite
an extent in the east this fall. The
voting machine, like the typewriter
and cash register, has come to stay be-
cause it is necessity. The present
models may have crudities, but these
defects will gradually be done away
with, and in time the entire country
will probably be casting its ballot by
the machine method. Then the blund-
ers of inefficient inspectors will be done
away with, the returns will be plainly
registered, and the result will be an.
nounced almost as soon as the polls
close.
