Official Paper Of Nez Perez Count,
Christmas Tide.

The last Christmas of the CEN
fury calls for retrospective view
of the advances made by Christen-
dom in the century about to close.
Christmas has grown to be the
milestone on the pathway of peace.
Along this pathway the world has
just completed another lap of a
century. For nineteen centuries
the heralds have been proclaiming
glad tidings of great JOY aud
preaching the doctrine of peace on
earth and good will among men.
The confines of Christendom have
been extended by the process of the
suns till His empire now includes
the greater portion of the civilized
world. Still within the borders of
Christendom there yet remains
many unregenerated sons of Adam
who have yet much to leal n Of the
spirit of Christianity, but there is
a belief founded on experience and
hope that in time the little leavep
will leaven the whole lump. There
is nothing pessimestic about the
outlook. There is abundant evi-
dence that humanity with all its
faults Is growing strongly altruis-
tic. The growth of the centuries
has been slow but it is nevertheless
sure and steadfast. 1t is easy at
the Christmas tide to bear witness
of this spirit. There Is good cheer
and comfort and hope in the out
pouring Of generous impulses that
make up the Christmas tide. There
will be happy hearts tomorrow be-
cause someone was thoughtful. A
good deed born of generous I'm
pulse will bring a sweet message OF
JOY and peace and round out the
century with new hope.

The enemies Of the Nicaraguan
canal project are doing some
skillfnl work these days. They
are probably responsible for some
ofthe amendments which are pro.

want the canal. They want it to

are obtainable.

PEkIN A DEATH TRAP.
Unwholeseme Sanitary Conditions In
 vite Pestilence


 PEKING, via Shanghai, Nov. 1o.- Sanitary conditions here are becoming serious. Since the foreign occupation many Chinese have died of smallpox and other infectious diseases. Fearing that their funerals would be interfered with, they have kept most of the collins con taining their dead in their houses and eourtyards.
 The question of removing garbage has become one of grave importance. As the natives are forbidden to deposit refuse in the streets, there is now an enormous accumulation ip their dwellings, and yards, which threatens a serious epidem- ic. In view of the large number of troops in and near the capital, the con sequences of such an outbreak would be frightful. Smallpox, which is always prevalent, is much more malignant dur ing the winter season, and the danger here is now alarmipSly increased.
 The belief that the note of the powers to the Chinese commissioners, Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang, will be com pleted soon is strengthened by the results of the recent informal conferences of the ministers of the powers.
 MT. Conger, the United States minis ter, said to press correspondents:
 "The situation is apparently very fa- fO1aDle lO tAe eAliS OA ASsol-o- tions for preliminary settlement. I be- lieve that the next meeting of the foreign envoys will virtually settle all points of difference between tho representatives of the powers, who will lose no time in pre- senting the demands.
 "What the result will be it is impossi- ble to foretell. Events have placed China in a very critical condition. Whether she will be able to preserve her integrity and to save her trade relations with the rest of the world will dspead upon what the powers demand in tho final settlement and upon her willingness to accept promptly the conditions proposed.
 Tt is quite unlikely, if not impossible, that the Chinese court will return to Pe- king before next spring, but I do not an- ticipate any serious delay in the progress of the negotiations with the Chinese com missioners, as they are in telesraphic communication with the court"
 Military operations are virtually at a standstill The German and Italian ex- petitions northward passed through the EJan-kau pass unopposed.

MANY ACCIDENTS
HAVE RESULTED IN WATEBURY

Have Resulted in Waterbury-People
 Fear Loss of Life and Damage 10
 Property.
 During the past eighteen months in this city and vicinity there have been many fires and accidents resulting from the use of open burning oil and gasoline stoves, some Of Which have happened only recently, with loss of life, account of which is still fresh in the memory of our citizens.
 These items are of almost daily oc- currence from the use of open flame gasoline and oil stoves. which are not only dangerous but injurious to health, same as gas stoves, from the fact that they burn the oxygen from the air in the room, leaving nothing but the dry carbolic acid gas to be inhaled, and al- though the effect is momentarily ap- palling, the deadly gasoline and open flame oil stoves are still in use gener- ally, because no safe substitute could heretofore be found.
 The Champion Oil Burner Go. Clevc- land, O., has solved the problem by making 1t possible to use any common grade of kerosene or coal oil with ab- solute safety and properly heat with two-thirds the expense any cook or other stoves built for using coal or wood. Their invention is rapidly being placed in the hands of local agents all over the state, who will retail cook stove burners at SIS apiece. To get them started here one may buy direct from the manufacturers. free on board cars at Cleveland, for about half that sum for day or two longer, or until an agency is established.
 This invention has proved SO inter esting that MT Barnhisel, the com pany's representative, has decided to remainshere until Tuesday night with his exhibition in Camp block. East Main street, after which the selling of their burners will be left in the bands of competent local agent.
