Modern Highwaymen" is the heading
under which the Independent discusses the
doings of the men who make a living by
disfiguring city streets and the face of
nature with bill boards and obtrusive ad-
vertisements. Instances are given showing
that American cities and commonwealth
are vastly behind other localities In toler-
ating such nuisances. These are not al

many European countries. where the RICH,

are coming

Waterbury seems to be both surprised
and pleased because it is to have big
political convention. To be sure, the
convention will not be so very big, for
the Democratic party in this State is
not very big, and it does not even feel
very big just now. But the convention
will be big for waterbury Waterbury
is making large efforts to be big enough
| for the convention as the following ad-
vertisement in the American indicates:
Persons having rooms suitable to let
to delegates to the Democratic State
convention that meets in this city next
Thursday would confer a favor by
sending their names to the Scovill
House, where the lst will be kept. Ac
commodations will be required by the
delegates for Wednesday night and
Thursday principally" The American
is evidently not certain that Waterbury
Is going to make a permanent impress
sion as a convention city, for it advises
the folks to see the show while they
have the chance. 1t says: There are a
great many people in Waterbury, not
women and children, who have never
seen a State convention. 1t will be
worth while for all who can to take
look at one tomorrow. 1t may be the
last one held in Waterbury for some
years, unless the gloomy prophets
throughout the State shall be disap-
pointed and the delegates shall have SO
good a time that they will insist on
coming again. Whether
observation of a State convention in ac-
ton will have upon average people an
influence which will encourage them to
take part in politics, we are not sure.
But the opportunity of making test
for oneself is now offered and ought to
be improved.
Doubtless the convention will enjoy
being looked upon by those who have
never seen such things, and those who
look on it may see something, for it is
expected to make a show of itself, and
not very holy show either.

INTEMP IN FENCE.

Temperance" is having some noticein
France. The French Academy of Medi-
cine sent it's congratulations to the Mar
quis de Gallifet, late Minister of War,
upon his order forbidding the sale of
spirits in the regimental canteens, and
coupled with them the hope that the
civil authorities might be able to fol-
low his example and, in some way,
check the consumption of alcohol by
the masses. 1t appears that the pro-
prietors of the military canteens have
been able to make fortunes in a very
few years. One woman recently bought
not only one of the biggest houses in
the town where her regiment had been
stationed, but also pretty villa with
a good garden, in the neighborhood,
both for her own habitation Another
refused an offer Of 100000 francs for her
canteen. In Paris there are said to be
at least twice as many public houses as
there were before the war of 1870, and
they are crowded most of the day,
while liquor is dispensed at hosts of
other establishments. A member of
French commission for the study of
questions affecting the working classes
not long ago said that he and his col
leagues, in the conscientious discharge
of their duties, took a fair number Of
meals at different restaurants frequent
ed by laboring men, and noticed that

ing about the throat and holding UP the
points, 1t Is quite certain that the
present summer will break women into
to allowing the neck to show bare and
unCrnamented from it's rise. There are
sure to be revivals in the way of neck
laces, and already black velvet tied
high around the neck is seen, even
above a high stock.
As yet one may have neck finish of
quite the other sort. Dressmalers
whose customers are of the advanced
fashionabes will permit the yoke to be
in one with a collar that extends almost
to the ears and they are just the dress
advisors who won't allow a customer
to go in for an unsafe fashion, The
accompanying picture presents a gown
just from one of these establishments.

ONE!

When the Count of Monte Cristo dis
poses of the first of those whom 1t is
his mission to dispose of he says One!
SO the great and rich Republican party
can say "One!" as it contemplates the
result of the election in Oregon. The
Republican victory there is a thorough
one. 1t includes large majority for the
State ticket, the election of both repre-
sentatives in congress also by good ma
jorities, and the choice of a legislature
which will elect a Republican to the
United States Senate. There has been
a great change In Oregon since 1896,
Then one Republican candidate for con-
gress had only 37S plurality, and the
other but So, while If the Democrats and
Populists had combined their votes
they would have secured not only both
seats in the House of Representatives,
but also the judgeship. which was at
stake ON the State vote by over 1000.
This year fusion was effected, and the
result Is the overwhelming defeat of the
allied forces.

THE SURRENDER or PRETORIA.


Awhile ago Johannesburg was to be
defended by the Beers, the mines were
to be blown up and other calamities
were to happen. Then Pretoria was to
be made the last ditch, or kopje. Jo-
hannesburg has surrendered, the mines
have not been blown up, and now no
stand is made by the Beers at Pretoria.
General Roberts is there, and the place
was surrendered without struggle, ex-
cept the struggle that went on in the
hearts of those who felt that in surren-
dering Pretoria they We're surrendering
their independence
What will happen now? Some of the
Beers seem to be still full OF fight, but
of course they cannot hope to do any
thing but annoy the British. Finally
the irreconcilables will either be killed,
or will have to emigrate to this or some
other country They cannot last long
as open enemies of Great Britain in the
Transvaal.

More About the Belgian Hare.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
We note the Belgian hare fad" with
considerable personal interest. A let
ter from a quite young rabbitry man
ager in southern California not long
since has this to say about the industry
under his care: Papa and I together
have fortynine Belgian hares. They
are getting very valuable in Los An
geles now. We first got four does (she
rabbits and a buck Che rabbit last
April or May, and several months after
| that we got ten-dollar doe and the
! five does had young ones right along,
and papa came in just now and said
| that another one has a litter of at least
| six rabbits; so now while / am writing
| we have altogether at least fifty-slx
| rabbits and we expect some more to-
| morrow, so we will have quite big
ranch. / was reading in the paper the
other day that a pair of Belgian hares
in five years would reach to the mod
est sum of over 4,000,000,00O rabbits on
the supposition that half of them were
does. 1t costs quite a considerable
amount of money for rabbits, and we
have paid, / guess, between forty and
fifty dollars; but, then, we hope to
make what we have paid for them and
profit. Maybe when we go back East
we will take a few rabbits with us and
introduce the craze there
A little later our young ranchman adj
vertises his stock as follows: For sale
A rabbitry of over one hundred Bel
gian hares Of choice breeds. Owner go
ing East IuuIIira Off
But we need not cross the continent
or the ocean to see some as fine Belgian
hares as can be found anywhere. Mr..
T. F. Lamb of 1874 Humphrey street has
a very fine rahbitry of them, and in his
brick house built for the purpose he
has hutches containing twenty-three as
pretty creatures of that sort as one
would wish to see. Some of his original
stock were imported at a cost which
would scare poor man who wanted to
start the business and 1t will be some
time before the average workingman
can afford the luxury Of Belgian hare
on toast or "frfeeassed;" but when the
wealthy epicures once get taste of
their tender, juicy flesh, which is far su-
perior to any fowl or fish, the rabbit
industry will be a paying one even for
amateurs in the business Their flesh
is as much superior to the wild rabbit
as the meat of clean, we'll bred pig
fed on sweet milk, fresh corn meal and
corn is to the wild hog of uncertain
pedigree and doubtful parentage that
feeds on "boogs," sarpints and the I'M
savory, unsanitary contents OF the
boarding house garbage barrell--I beg
pardon--We should saw cr,Iuh bucket
Long live the Belgian hare till he be- |
comes so numerous that we can afford
to eat some of him and then sing his
praises from personal experience of his |
virtues M.
