Waterbury Democrat., 1901-09-21

Thus far, says a Washington writer, President Roosevelt has done nothing but express. with his usual decision, his intention of carrying out the policy Of his predecessor. and has asked all of the members of the cabinet to re- tain their places. It is said by many people that the clause flor the pres ent'' is tackled on to this request tacit- Iy or otherwise. and this may be so. There is a rumor, which comes by grapevine telegraph, that Hay, Smith, Hitchcock, Long and Wilson will re- sign; Gage and Knox will stay where they are. and Root will be made secre- tary of state. From the same author ity 1t Is learned that friends of Secre- tary Gage have overcome the presi- dents first intention of asking for the resignation of the secretary of tie treasury. and also that Roosevelt will not he q candidate, for the presidency in 1904. It is not known whence ail this information comes, however. and if facts are to be trusted the president has thought of very little since his ac- cessIOn to office save the tragedy of AIr AcKinley's assassination and the immediate political problems incident to the change. It is not necessary for him to turn the cabinet upside down during the first week of his incum- bency, or even to form plans for doing so.
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-09-21

The closing paragraph in Banker Henry Clew's letter this week is as follows: But at the same time. ill forecasting the highly important meas uIes of legislation and administration that will occupy the government dur ing the next three and q half years, refiecting men cannot but have been deeply impressed with the unusual magnitude of the questions awaiting public deliberation. It is not merely that we are entering upon new com mercial and political relations with the outside world and broadening all our trade interests in Europe, Asia and South America, it is also the fact that we are undergoing great industrial and political revolutions at honie% 2 This presidential crisis comes at a moment when we are completing "a great in- dustrial revolution. At present that process can only be regarded as an experiment, whether destined to sue cess, or failure, or modification, 1t is impossible to saya And yet the vast amounts invested in several of our leading industries, valued nominally at over six billion dollars, are committed to these radically new conditions. Our credit institutions have been more or less committed to these new organiza ticns, and cannot escape more or less commitment to the great experiment. It seems inevitable that, after the com pletion of these creations there must come period of watchfulness of their operations, which may be productive of caution in making investments, if not of hoarding of capital. It is also to be considered that the process of re- distributing the capital thus trans muted has not by any means been completed, the result being q set of un- settled and unsettling conditions in the market for securities. These condi- tions cannot be excluded from con- sideration in estimating the political prospects which the change of presi- dents has brought under serious con sideration. Immediate factors are therefore calculated to produce a mood of cautious reflection, a disposition to moderate speculation and to encourage conservative financing in all direc- tions.'

PHoToGRAPHING BIRDS.
The More Common and Unsuspicious Are Most Difficult to
 Take,

Strangely enough, it is not always the more rare and shy birds which are most difficult to photograph, but, on the contrary, very common and usually unsuspicious species, when approached with photographic in- tent, are exceedingly wary. This is the case with the familiar robin, and also with the kingbird or bee-martin, says A. H. Verrill, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. Time and again have spent an entire afternoon en- deavoring to photograph this saucy fycatcher, but without avail, and it is only very recently that I succeeded in inducing one to sit for his por- trait, and even he condescended to do so only when his fafherly solici- tude was aroused and disturbed the peace of his young family. On the other hand, blue. jays, which are no- toriously wild, have had no diffi- culty with, provided the time chosen was late summer or early autumn. I find that at this season they readily approach within range of my lens if their cries are initiated while in hid- ing. Many birds have habits which greatly facilitate matters once they are learned

ENVIRONMENT OF AUTHORS.
People Prominent in Literature Who Have Sought Congenial
 Surroundings.

The workshops of American authors have much to do with the quality of what they produce. Differing tenn peraments require different conditions in which to accomplish the best re- suits. This is peculiarly shown in the case of the great American writers of the day. For example, Harriet Pres colt Spofford does her best work sit ting under the trees writing on pad resting on her lap.
 Margaret Deland has a perpetual bit of summer introduced into her Boston home. A small glass conserva- tory, filled to overfowing with gay ionquiIs, is where this brilliant writer does her best work.
 Winston Churchill, author of ''Rich- ard Carvel.'' lives in St. Louis in the winter and in Vermont in the summer. He does his work in very business like way in an office at the top of one of the city's skyscrapers. Here, sur rounded by the roar and din of the city's traffic, he wrote the charming story of long ago, when cable cars and typewriters were an unknown quan- tity.
 Bret Harte generally writes out of doors, but always while smoking. He said the first lines always took cigar and sometimes two cigars.
 In the city of Atlanta, in a homelike little cottage embowered in rosebush- es and apple trees, Joel Chandler Har- ris writes his inimitable tales of "Un- cle Remus and Bre'er Rabbit"

FIRE AMONG THE REDwooDs.
Impressive Sight Presented by the Tall Young Trees When
 Affamc.

Perhaps the most startling phe- nomenon of the fire was the quick death of childlike sequoias only-a cen- tury or two of age, says John Muir, in Atlantic. In the midst of the other comparatively slow and steady fire- work, one of these tall beautiful sap 1ings, leafy and branchy, would be seen blazing up suddenly all in one heaying, booming, passionate flame reaching from the ground to the top of the tree, and 50 to 100 feet or more above it, with smoke column bending forward and streaming away on the upper free-fowing wind. To burn these green trees strong fire of dry wood beneath them is required to send up current of air hot enough to dis till infammable gases from the leaves and sprays; then, instead of the low CT limbs, gradually catching fire and igniting the next and next in success sion, the whole tree seems to explode almost simultaneously, and with aw- full roaring and throbbing a round tapering flame shoots up 200 or 300 feet, and in a second or two is quenched, leaving the green spire a black dead mast bristled and rough ened with down-curling boughs.

NOT A TEADERFOOT. l.
The Tables Neatly Turned on a BoastfuI Son of Cali
 fOrnin.

Horace Vachell, writing to his En E. fish home of the amazing boastfll- ness of the California youth, not without a strong admixture of com mon sense, relates the following story, says Youths Companion:
 was returning from fishing tour in British Columbia, and encountered a youth about F in the Pullman car, who, taking me for tenderfoot, proceeded to set forth at great length the resources of California. Presently he asked me if this were my first visit to his state.
 I replied in the negative, saying that I lived in California, that I owned land, that I was engaged in a large business. He looked uncom- fortable; then, in quite different tone he said:
 Say, when did you come to Cali fornia?''
 It was my turn. "You are a na- tive son?"
 q am," he answered, proudly and promptly.
 About IF years old?"
 That's right; r last fall."
 ''Ah, well, I came to the state of California about the same time you did,.
 He blushed scarlet; then he laughed heartily. Great Scott! Why didn't you tell me to come off my perch ?'
 After that he asked number of questions, and listened civilly to my replies. We parted the best of friends.

HEARD IN PASSING

1t has been discovered that Boston baked beans nowadays come from Cal ifornia. Are we to have no traditional illusions feft?
 Prof Zckeli of Potsdam is about to make some neutral experiments with q balloon containing 12,000 cubic me tres. He is in favor of balloon search for Andree, and. that would probably be as successful as any other kind.
 It was predicted that the new tene- mcnt law, requiring proper light, water privileges and ventilation in New York tenements, would put a stop to the erection of such buildings, but the work goes merrily on just as it did be- fore the law was passed.
 The police seem to be following the drag-net system in arresting anarch- fists wherever they can be found, and really, in the existing state of public sentiment one would think that iail would seem more like home to them than their somewhat precarious shelter outside.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR DYsEN-
 FIERY AND DIARRHOEA.

"-Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making long bi- cycle trip" says r. l.. Taylor of New Albany, Bradford county. Pa. T was taken suddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip. when Editor Ward of the Laceyville Messen- ger suggested that l take dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bot tie and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. made the trip successfully and never felt any i'll effect. Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought q bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me-" Sold by all druggists.
