REFUSED TO BE SPANKED.
Pretty Actress BnlIxs at the Unique Demands of Her Manager for
 a Sensation.

Miss B.

METEORIC SHOWER.
Due To-Night and To-Morrow Night
 According to Astronomers.

<ASNO1u4liS lO
 Tonight and tomorrow night the meteoric shower known as the Leonids is expected to put in it's appearance, and preparations for their observance and a chance to pho. tograph them have been under way at all the observator1es at Yale and Harvard for some weeks. At the Yale observatory the entire staff of ll- structors, with some of the more en- thuSiaStic students in astronomy, Will be on the watch every night this week. This is the display that was expected two years ago when special apparatus was placed in the observatory for the observance of the Leonids. This same apparatus will be used on this occa- sion. In addition to the work at the observatory under the direction of Dr Elkin and MT Brown, the auxiliary station at the Webb farm in Hamden will be ill charge of Dr Chase.
 Every effort will be made that is possible to obtain photograph of this shower. but there is no certainty of it's making it's appearance, and if the meteoric display occurs it will show the attraction exerted in the meteoric group by the great planets has been of such a nature as to restore it's path to that occupied in 1883 and 1866.

APPLES MAKE YOU YOUNG.

As apples are with us once again It is well to remember that this fruit contains a larger percentage Of phos- phoruS than any other fruit or vegeta- ble. This phosphorus is admirably adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter of the brain and sp.- nal cord. The acids of the apple are also of signal use for men of sed- entary habits, whose livers are slug gish in action, those acids serving to eliminate from the body obnoxious matters, which if retained would make the brain heavy and dull or bring about jaundice or skin erup- tions and other allied troubles.
 Some such an. experience must have led to our custom of taking apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and like dishes. The acid of nne apples. either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky matter engen- dered by eating too much.
 It is also the fact that such fresh fruits as the apple, pear and tie plum when taken ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach rather than provoke it. Their vegetable salts and juices are converted into al kaline carbonates, which tend to coun- teract acidity.
 A good ripe, raw apple Is one or the easiest of vegetable substances for the stomach to deal with, the whole process of it's digestion being complet- ed in eighty-five minutes.
 A poultice made of rotten apples IS of very common use ill Lincolnshire, England, for the cure of weak or rheu- matic eyes. Likewise in the Hotel des Invalides, at Paris, an apple poul- tice is commonly used for infiaIne1 eyes, the apple being roasted with it's pulp applied over the eyes without any intervening substance

Historian @ Maclay never opens his mouth but what he manages to put his foot in it. As noted in the Demo- crat yesterday, this great I am says that when Schley is exonerated he will cut out the objectionable paragraphs relating to the admiral. The Hartford Courant this morning hits the nail on the Maclay head pretty squarely in the following paragraph: .'We venture the opinion that this clerk in the Brooklyn navy yard should have had his discharge papers months ago. When has there appeared a more inn pertinent announcement than this that. if Scnley is exonerated, he will cut out the abusive part of his histor- ic work? How kindI The whole work should go out of the window be- fore the court makes its decision. The clerk or laborer (some reports have it that this particular historian is '1a- borer" on the pay rolD, who had the as sumption to describe an admiral as q coward and poltroon, while the man was still in good standing in his coun- try's service, is. not needed any longer and ought to have been so informed when his insulting book was first de- nounced. Whatever. the decision of the court, it is evident that this fellow is too fresh for salt water navigation

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 1s, 1901.

As was to be expected, the republi- cans are all crying fraud with regard to the Maryland election, undoubtedly actuated from their dread of the re- turn of Arthur P. German to the sen ate, than from any disappointment that the state did not give their party q majority. As a matter of fact l-ere were some errors that crept into the ballots of a few districts, but the senti- ment of the state is far too pronounced to permit of any doubt as to the real wishes of the people.

THE HARMONY DINNER.
Bulkeley- -Fessenden Combination as
 Viewed in Fairyeld County.

Bulk eley- -Fessenden Combination as
 Viewed in Fairyeld County.
 The Bridgeport Evening Post editor tally discusses the Fessenden dinner and makes some interesting comments on the effect on Fairfield county of q Fessenden- Bulkeley combination. ''Ac- cording to all reports says the Post, 'the telephone wires were kept pretty hot last week The most strenuous appeals were sent out to men of prominence not to go to the dinner. In some cases these appeals succeed ed; in others they fell dead fiat.
 .'But for the assistance given by Congressman Hill Governor Mclean would never have won out. The sue cess of the election cemented the alli- ance between these two gentlemen and it is generally believed in political circles that the two would continue the combination with view to landing the senatorial toga later on.
 S'It was said that Mclean was to go first in place of Senator Hawley, while Hill was to wait until a good chance came to succeed Senator Platt No formal contest was to be made against Senator Platt.
 .'Fessenden is probably satisfied that he cannot go to the senate as things exist. With Congressman Hill opposed to him in this county and the strong Mclean following ill the eastern sec ton of the state, any attempt to win must fail. On the other hand, Bulke- ley, strong as he is-and he is stronger today than ever-cannot hope to go from the upper end of the state if Me Lean to say nothing of Russell, is ann bilious to step into Hawley's shoes. But just put the two together and what difference it makes.
 But the end is not yet by any means, and unless all signs fail there is the warmest kind of al contest pr nG ised next fall in republican circles 1t will be a battle between the friends of MT Fessenden and those of MT Paige for the control of Fairfield county. As the lieutenant of Congressman Hill, Mir Paige will have some strong SUD- port. but MT Fessenden has by far the larger number of able supporters in the county and the fight will be bit ter one''

HOW TO TACKLE THIEVES.

A Swansea (England) doctor was walking home late one night when he was accosted by tramp of the Sikes persuasion.
 'Gimme your money!'' said the thief.
 As quick as thought the doctor turn ed and in an offended tone said:
 "What are you doing over here?'' Go on the other side of the street! I'm working this side myself"
 With muttered apology for his breach of etiquette, the would-be rob- Der vanished in the darkness.

PRIMARY
ELECTION
For Directors Of the Cham
Der of Commerce Was
Successful.
HOW THEY VOTED
Several interesting Matters
Discussed BY the III
rectors at Their
Meeting.

The primary election for directors
of the chamber of commerc that took
place yesterday demonstrated the
complete success of the new sytem.
1t is true that only thirty seven votes
were cast. but evidence that each man
carefully thought out his ticket and
that here was no attempt on the part
of any individual or clique to dominate
the election. was furnished by the fact
that the thirty seven ballots contained
no less than thirty-six different names;
each voter voted for nine men.
The board met at night and can
vassed the returns. Under the terms
of the enw by laws the eighteen men
receiving the highest votes at the pri-
mary election are declared the official
nominees for directors. and no others
are eligible to be voted for at the an
nual election next Wednesday. The
first eighteen men. and the number
of votes each received, out of thirty
seven votes cast, are as follows:

THIS NEEDS THE ATTENTION
OF THE AUTHORITIES

A notable improvement has just
been made at the custom house.
. The chain of rough stones in the
street beside the curb has been re-
moved and now nothing remains but
level dirt. These stones had long been
an eyesare and persons on bicycles
alighting in front of the office to
get their mail. found them a nuisance.
There is at present another nuisance
that should be abated. At the corner
by the Postal Telegraph company's
office there is large pool Of water
and mud formed by wastes from the
stand pipes close by, where the water
ing carts go to get their loads. The
pool of water makes the crossing a
very bad one.

GREAT RECEPTION
SHOULD BE PREPARED
FOR TH.i PRESIDENT
When He Comes Through This City in
May On His Way to the Pacific
Coast.

Citizens of Ell PasO are unit in
agreeing that Ell Paso must arrange for
an elaborate entertainment on the oc-
casion of the presidents visit in May,
and more than one has suggested that
at least an effort should be made to
bring President Diaz to the border to
meet the president of the United
States.
When seen today in regard to the
matter DIR. H. H. Stark, chief execu-
tive of the greatest entertainment Or
ganization FL Paso ever had, said:
Yes, the city ought to get up prop
er celebration in honor Of the presi-
dent. Nothing could be more appro-
pirate than to have President Diaz
here as a guest at the same time. l
am heartily in favor of it. Suppose
you see Secretary Russell and others
and see what they think about it.
No, the carnival association is not
going to disorganiZe after the celebra-
ton, but / do not think we could look
after the entertainment of the presi-
dent without the proper authority. The
republicans ought to turn themselves
loose on this occasion See j. A. Smith
and telephone Consul Kindrick. They
ought to have some suggestions 10
make
When the president gets here the
carnival association will present me-
mortal to him setting forth the advis-
ibility of establishing an international
exhibition here where manufacturers
can display their products"
Secretary Russell of the chamber of
commerce said he would bring the
matter OF entertaining the president mp
before the new board at its first meet
ing
J. A. Smith spoke enthusiastically
of the presidents visit and said steps
to entertain Mr. Mckinley should cer-
tainly be taken soon He recalled the
occasion of President Harrison's visit
in April 1891. and said an effort was
then made TO bring President Diaz To
Juarez. but as that official would not
come he sent several members of his
stan 20 represent him and meet the
president of the United States.
Mr. Smith said that if a meeting be-
tween the two presidents could be ar
ranged SO that they might shake hands
across the boundary line. it would nc
a spectacle well worth travelling
thousand miles to see.

THE DIAMOND FIND
is BEING THOROUGHLY IN
VESTIGATED BY THE HERALD.
And In a Few Days This Paper Will
Publish the Exact Facts in the Case,
Whether Confirmatory of the Rum
Ors or Not

The Herald is making a thorough
Investigation of the reported Captain
diamond find and will in few days be
in possession of the complete facts and
give them to the public whether they
confirm the rumors or not.
Sufficient information has already
been obtained to justify the asserti N
that there is possibility that diamonds
nave been found and that all experts
to whom they have been submitted
have made favorable reports thereon.
j. ]. Blow, himself, is as much of an
expert on diamonds in the rough as
any mining man in this vicinity is
an expert on ore. He was connected
with one of the most famous South
African diamond mines and under
stands his business. He believes he
has found genuine diamonds at Capt
tan and it is only natural for him to
keep a close mouth until absolutely
certain that he is not mistaken.
1t is safe to say that a great many
claims will be staked out at Captain
and if the discovery pans out some CO.
lossal fortunes will be made in this 10
cality.
]. ]. Blow, the discoverer of the al
legged diamonds. was in Alamogordo
secret conference with Superintendent
A. S. Greig. The subject of their con-
could only be surmised. Blow
went over to Lincoln January 3. for
the purpose, it is believed, to filing
some claims at the land Office.
Two feet of snow fell Tuesday night
at Captain.
