DEMOCRATS HAVE WARM TIME.
The democratic caucus was held, Sat
urday, with an attendance of over 200,
Francis Baldwin acting as chairman.
Considerable activity was shown at the
meeting and also for several days previ-
Gus, there being two strong candidates
in, D. E. Soule and Hon Nicholas Staub,
for the office of first selectman. The bal
lot, 1877 to Ga was declared in David K.
Soule's favor, who received the nomina-
ton. Squires got the nomination for sec
ond selectman. P. NJ. Cassidy was nomi-
mated for collector. The rest of the NOM
nations we're made without much ado,
until the nomination of constables took
place, when Charles A. Adds name was
mentioned. This came as surprise az
it was we'll understood that his name
was not to be presented for the sake of
the democratic party, the cause OF which
is known only too we'll to need further
comment. Adds was named on the sec.
ond ballot. The first ballot showed 80
votes in the hat, there being only SO per.
sons in the hall at the time. After the
nomination of Adds was confirmed, Hon
Nicholas Staub got up and made vigor-
GUS speech against Adds. As Adds was
nominated several already named for
other offices resigned from the ticket.
The latest is that the leaders will get to.
gether and make up the ticket in time for
the town meeting.

How Many Apples We're stoIenq

A number of boys went out on an ex-
cursion up the river and, stopping off
at Il certain place, walked around
awhile to see the country, when they
sped beautiful large apple tree the
boughs Of which were so laden with
the luscious fruit that they almost
touched the ground.
The boys did not hesitate to help
themselves and went at it with a deter
mination to get all the apples they
could carry.
They had not been there many min
utes, however. when the owner went
after them with a great big whip, caus-
ing them to run away as fast as they
could. but not before they had stolen
between two and three dozen apples.
After they had got away to safe
distance they proceeded to divide them
and found that by counting four apples
at time there were three apples left
over, but by counting five apples at a
time only one apple remained. Who
can tell how many apples those boys
stole?

Fireproof safes.

For city use in modern buildings" /"
said a safe manufacturer, safes are
nowadays made thiuner walled than
formerly, thus giving them more room
inside in proportion to the space the
safe occupies. The modern building
is fireproof, or substantially so, and in
case of fire the safe does not fall down
through the burned floors into a mass
of burning debris in the cellar. but it
stays where it has been placed, sup
ported by the steel floor beams Of the
room and, with less around it to burn,
subjected to comparatively less heat.
"Under such conditions the thin wall
ed safe is as fireproof as the thick wall
ed safe would be under the conditions
in which it is used in the old style
buildings for use in which the thick
walled safe is still commonly sold."-

Room For Praise

There once lived in a western village
a woman who was anxious that her
only son should achieve some great
success in life and lift himself above
"the common run of men," as she said.
When she reflected that even the
presidency of the United States is with
N the reach of the poorest and hum
blest boy, she did not wish her son to
fall far below that station in life.
Long after the son was a man an ac-
quaintance met the ambitious old lady,
then visiting in a distant state and
asked her about her sons success in
life.
"Well," she said cheerily, "he amt
the president of the United States yet;
he amt senator nor yet congress-
man nor governor nor mayor, but tell
you he's the very best blacksmith there
Is in our part Of the country. Indeed

How to Do the Cane Trick : How
Many Apples Were siolcn.-A
Merry Little Gentleman.

"Ihe feat Of compelling a walking
stick or umbrella to stand upright in
the middle of parlor without being
supported by anvthin- Or anybody az
ways seems wonderful says Nine.
Hermann. 1T is best when about to
perform this feat to have Il black
screen for a background and to order
the stick or umbrella t0 stand alone
about foot il front Of ths screen. To
show the audience that there is no per-
son or apparatus behind this screen
to secretly help the stick to stand when
commanded the performer can take the
screen away for Il few minutes until
all are satisfied that there is no hidden
apparatus there. Pass the cane around
among the audience to let them see
there is no pin in the canes fcrrule and
that it is an ordinary cane, absolutely
without life. When the screen is again
In place, the stick can he hypnotized by
few mysterious mumblings, which
will be certain to keep the audience
guessing in the wrong direction. Then
the stick will stand alone for as long
as the performer may desire. The Sc
cret Of the hypnotizing is so simple
that the audience will never suspect il.
It is to previously tie a yard Of black
thread from the top of one of the front
legs of an ordinary chair to the top Of
the other front leg. letting the bag Of
the thread fall to the ground until
ready for the 'hypnotizing. Carelessly
place the stick within the bag of the
thread, planting the stick upright six
inches from the chair, making it ap-
pear that it is only by the merest acci-
dent that the performer selects this
particular spot. Now take your hands
away, and Of course the stick will
stand where you place it. The sup
porting thread will not be seen on ac-
count of the dark background. This
and many other feats any amateur can
perform after little practice"

TAKE WATER FoR MEDICINE.

A Health Producer Which Is Avail
able Everywhere.
There is no doubt that we do not
drink enough. Our bodies consist
largely of water and the average man
needs to drink from four to six pints
of water daily in order to maintain
health. This is the amount of water
eliminated from the body by means of
the kidneys, the skin and lungs. 1t is
evident that fresh supply is constant
ly needed to supply this lost aid in the
process Of digestion and carry away
waste matter.
If the amount Of water imbibed is
not sufficient for all this, the health
must suffer. Air, water and food are
the essentials of life in the order given.
A person can fast long time-ex-
periments have proved this-but that
same person could not get along with
out water for that length of time.
AS usual thing women are the ones
who suffer the most from an INSULT
cheney of water. Mothers should see
to it that their children have plenty of
water to drink.
There is a diversity of opinion re-
garding drinking at meals. Some as
sert that the practice is injurious, as it
dilutes the gastric juice. Others ag4tn
claim that glassful of pure drinking
water taken during the process of mas
tication is healthful. On one point,
however, all authorities agree-namely,
that ice water is injurious.
Generally speaking, the theory advo-
Gated by the best physicians nowadays
is to drink often and much. 1t cleanses
the system, increases circulation and
helps to make a clear complexion.
Therefore, ye men and women, the lat
ter especially, drink. Take clear, pure,
sterilized water and be thankful so
simple remedy of nature is near at
hand.-Table Talk

An "AmiabIe child.

An entry of baptism recently come
upon in the records of Trinity church
has disclosed the identity OF. the little
boy buried near Grants tomb, says the
New York Mail and Express. He was
st. Claire Pollock, son of George Pol
lock, and was baptized, as shown by
the entry, on Nov II, 1892.
George Pollock had store at 95
Front street and lived at 26 Whitehall
street. The inscription on the tomb
reads: Erected to the memory of an
amiable child, st. Claire Pollock. Died
10 July, 1891 in the fifth year of his
age" The place and inscription con-
Joined have given the tomb a poetic

VIII This be the ResuItq

General Grosvenor, of Ohio.
Mr.. McKinley's spokesman and
personal representative in the
House, an extreme Republican
partisan, has recently calculated
the electoral vote of 1900, and
confesses growth of Democratic
strength during the last four
years, which from another and
an bipartisan calculation places
Mr.. McKinley's election among
the doubtful quantities.
The electoral vote of 1896 stood
175 for Bryan against 272 for
Mckinley, majority for McKin-
ley of 81. Mr.. Grosvenor figures
out that Mr.. Mckinley will fall
off in IL electoral votes, which
means the state of Kentucky,
conceded to Bryan, and it reduc-
es the probable Mckinley major
ity to 73. He comedies Mary
land to Bryan, with it's 8 elector-
al votes, but takes away from
him Washington with 4 and
Wyoming with 3 electoral votes
respectively. In 1896 Kentucky
and California gave Bryan 1
electoral vote each, which must
be included in the present cal
culation.
With the concessions of Mr..
Grosvenor, if Bryan receives the
z electoral votes of Washington
and Wyoming, he will have 1872
electoral votes to McKinley's
253, a difference of II. But why
should Delaware not be given to
Bryan instead of Mckinley ? 1t
belongs in the Democratic line
and will undoubtedly be found
there. It's 3 votes will still fur
ther reduce McKinley's majority
to 65. Moreover, it is not at all
certain that Kansas will not
swing into line with its 10 votes,
reducing the difference to so.
Now, this reduced difference
indicates the Mckinley loss
through a laundering policy, ex-
cludes all war exciting senti-
ment, basing the conditions as
they appeared in the vote a year
ago. Making all due allowances
the probability is figured by the
New Orleans Times. Democrat to
be as follows
1t requires 224 electoral votes
to elect.
