KELLY AND MAYSER.
Both Athletes Ready for Their Catch as Catch Can Bout To-morrowNight.

There are very many people in this city who want totake in the wrestling match o-morrow night in Naugatuck. and many no doubt will go down if it is possible to return in time to take the last cars from the center for their homes. If the match could be started as near to s o'clock as possible then hundreds of people from Waterbury would be in attendance. Manager Carroll says the match will begin be-
 tween and o'clock. If this is so all who attend from this city can take the cars back and arrive in Waterbury ill plenty time to catch the, 11:31 car from the center. There are many Wa terville people who want to see the match also. and the managers would do well to look out for the people from this end of the line. That it will be a good match there is no doubt and each man is confident of victory. Kelly says he will throw Mayser just assure and certain as he did Little and Shack
 and Mayser says that when it is all over that Kelly will be a much wiser wrestler. and so will his friends. There is much money being wagered on the result and whoever wins will know that he has been in a wrestling bout.

No Newspapers in Parliament.
from the London Chronicle


The printing and stationery vote for the
houses Of parliament is a large item, but
1t will not be appreciably increased by the
concession which has just been made to
strangers by supplying them with a copy
of the orders Of the Gay. Time was, and
not SO very long ago, when tho supply of
this carte du jour- was very meager and
it was sometimes difficult to find a spare
copy even in the press gallery But there
is now an almost unlimited distribution.
Hitherto strangers have had to depend
upon the generosity Of the members who
introduced them for a copy; they could not
even buy them. It Is doubtful however.
practical value. for the program is de-
signed on a rather cryptic plan, and 1t
takes a good deal Of training in order to
follow it.
thorities to take this step was not on the
score OF economy. but because an unwrit-
ten law Of the house lays 1t down that
while members are speaking there shall be
no reading A copy of the orders, especial
ly when there are a hundred questions on
the paper, which is now frequently the
case, is OF such proportions that 1t might
easily conceal a newspaper, and a news
paper Is strictly taboo N the chamber. A
member who introduced a newspaper into
the house, unless with the purpose Of
quoting it, has often been called to order.
In the press gallery newspaper reading
has to be done furtively. but here. Of
course, the boxes in which journalists sit
conceal the breach Of parliamentary de-
ccrum. The ladies behind the grille are a
law unto themselves. Their harem-like POI
sitiOn enables them to read newspapers or
novels, and even to do needlework, or eat
sandwiches without bringing down the
thunders OF the sergeant-at-arms upon
their heads.

Size OF the States.
From the Burlington (Vt.) News.


It comes as something Of shock to real
| ize that Massachusetts, is smaller than Yer
mont. One always has hazy, general i'm
preston that the bay state is three Or four
times as big as we are. specifically. But
it isn't so. Vermont has according to a
just-published census bulletin) 1855 square
miles, whereas Massachusetts has but 1925
And there are five other states Of the Union
smaller than Vermont-New Hampshire is
spread out fiat it would doubtless be much
bigger than Vermont. Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Delaware and New Jersey are the
four other states that are smaller than
Vermont.
But we all make a terribly poor figure
when we compare ourselves with Texas.
Texas, may 1t please your royal highness
has 265, 7S0 square miles, and Is thus tWen-
ty-eight times as big as Vermont, and
makes just about one-fourteenth OF the
whole United States. If it were as thickly
settled as Vermont it would have a popu-
lation Of about 100000, whereas, as a
matter of fact, it has but 2,5O0, COO The
Texans have plenty of elbow room
Next TO Texas in size comes California
with 15S,36O square miles, and then follow
Montana, 146.6S0; Nevada, ITO, 100, and Col
orado, lob, 925-which are all the states hay-
ing hundred thousand square miles Of
area or more.
Alaska knocks them all silly with $40 ss4
square miles, and, at the other extreme
the reader experiences q delicate surnriss
to learn that Hawaii, over which SO much
fuss has been made, Is good deal smaller
than Vermont, having but GAO square
miles.

SEEKING THE POLE.
of PDIc-ScelsinE Hnd the Char
ncter of pOIe-Seclers.

In the Saturday Evening Post Mr.
Frank Wilbert Stokes gives an intensely
interesting sketch from the inside Of
polar expeditions. Regarding the char
acter of men, he makes this interesting
observations:
"The choice of the men and their
number are the most important ques-
tions the commander has to decide. for
upon these, almost wholly, depend the
expeditions success or failure. In gov
ernment expeditions the men are put
through n rigid PHYSICAL examination,
but in private expeditions such is not
the rule. man should be sound physic-
ally-but there are exceptions; nota-
bly, that of DR.. Kane, who was some
what of an invalid all his life. and who
yet withstood hardship better than
some of the most athletic men of his
command. The large, heavily built
muscular men do not begin to stand
the strain like the light, wei knit wiry
men. Peary could not lift the weights
some of his men did, but being of wiry
fiber he is almost tireiess and is still
cvdencing his endurance in spite of the
loss of seven toes.
THE mind is super,atiye factor.
Experience shows that the sangu'ne
temperament is the best TO overcome
the difficulties, disappointments and
dangers of polar service, by lending
hupefulness where appearances hre to-
tally against success. Intelligence is a
desideratum, for ii finds plenty TO do

Will Join the Bankers.

At a meeting of the Select Friends
Tuesday to consider future plans for
the lodge, it was unanimously decided
to join the Bankers Union of the
World, which has its headquarters at
Omaha, Neb. The Union is but three
years old, has 2O,S67 members in good
standing, a reserve fund of $50, 600,
made gain in 1900 of IA, 961 members
and has surplus benefit fund of
S7,S64.25. The Select Friends we're
importuned by dozens of orders to
join them. The entire local lodge
goes in, each member making an afii-
davit as to his health. The Bankers
have no insurance policies over 81, 900
but have sickness and accident in
surance and their system is believed
to be along the most approved and
modern ideas of fraternal insurance.
AS the local lodge was composed
chiefly of people past the thirty-live
year mark it is certainly very desir-
able that the whole lodge be insured
in some good order.
