SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.
New Ruling of the Postal Authorities
 Now in Operation.

The recent ruling of the postmaster general relative to second class mail matter went into effect on October l and is now in operation. Under this rule, or order, periodical publications having the characteristics of books and those the circulations of which are not founded on their value as news or lit lerary journals, etc, are not admitted as second class mail matter, but when publication has once been formally admitted to the second class the certifi- cate of entry cannot be revoked until so ordered by the postoffice depart ment. Renewed or return copies may not be mailed except at the pound ratel.
 Before the issuance of the present rule, story books published in a series went through the mails as second class rates. These must now pay postage, at third class rates The new rule has cut off the advantage of cheap rates hitherto taken by that class of publica- tions. The new rule does not affect semi-weeklies, ,weeklies, b1- monthlies monthlies or publications of similar character.

ONE THINK COMING.

I was in the newspaper business once myself" laughed the portly party. When I left college 1 decided that nothing but journalism would cater to the strenuous life that I proposed to lead. In looking over the situation, realized that the eastern field was too cramped for my swelling ambition so decided upon the free and boundIesS west as the only spot where my bud ding genius could properly expand, unhampered by the conventionalities the .effete east.
 s"Well, I found small town in the west where there was no paper, and proceeded at once to fill a long felt want. Soon after I had established my great molder of opinion a lynching took place and I felt that the situa- ton called for few burning words upon the subject. The result was a two-column leader, wherein handled the outrage without gloves. I cannot now recall what I said, except the end,s which read something like this: Gentlemen, think twice before you again drag the name of our beautiful and future great city through the mud
 "The edition containing my inspir- ed and burning words was hardly is- sued when I had a call from a dele gation of my fellow citizens.
 What can do for you, gentle men? asked, realizing was fac ing a condition, not theory.
 {. We've kim here, said the spokes- man. to inform you that we don't take no shine to that thar article of yourn bout 1ynchin,. Our first i'm pression was to bring a rope along with us, but we remembered what you said bout thinkir' twice, so we've jes' called to let you know that we've had our first think. We'll be here again tomorrow

GERMAN WITH IRISH BROGUE.


 Of late years many German boys go to. Ireland to learn the language, and acquire at the same time the Irish middle class opinion of England. which they cherish and propagate on their re turn to their native land. Perhaps that is one of the sources of German dis like for the Englishman Another thing that the German boy acquires in Ire land is rich and varied brogue, and one of the most amusing things one hears in Germany is the waiter who speaks German-Irish- English. A music hall comedian who could adequately initiate this combination as I have frequently heard it would certainly make his fortune. Next to this in l1dicrousness is the cockney English Of many porters and walters, learned, I have no doubt. within the sound of Bow Bells.-Outlook

THE DEAD MUTILATED.
Captain Councils Body Was Partially
 Burned at Samar

Manila. Oct 3.-The latest advices from the Island of Samar give harrow ing details of the slaughterI of the members of Company O.. Ninth infan-! try. last Saturday at sBalangiga. 2 It seems that the presidente of the town, claiming to be friendly, led the assault in person.
 On hearing of the slaughter Colonel Isaac D. DeRussy of the Eleventh in fantry started for the scene immedi- ately with battalion. The body of Captain Thomas w Connell had been tied at the heels, saturated with kero- sene and partly burned.
 Forty-five bodies had been burned in a trench, leaving seven unaccounted for. The charred remains of many were recovered. In numerous cases the bodies had been badly mutilated.
 Three hundred Maccabees will also be dispatched to the scene of the fight on board the Legaspi, which is, delayed by typhoon.

The democrats of the fifth ward are requested to meet at City hall to- night to make arrangements for cleo tion day.
 The candidates ehosen-perhaps we should have said '.collared'-at the adjourned republican caucus last night and pressed into service to take the places of the deserters deserve credit for the sacrifice they are making for the good of the party" That's not fair for republicans to be getting out of the way before the battle takes place. They should stand up and take their medicine like men.
 There can be no doubt but that the republicans of Waterbury will ever pray that their days may be long in the land, even though they may not get a smell at the offices.
 The republicans of the second ward think they have discovered most fla vorable augury of the times. This is a pear tree near Hollis Segur's house on Chestnut avenue. The tree is in blossom and as Mir Segur is a bowling republican he takes it for granted that it is an indication of the trend Of the election campaign. Republicans from all parts of the city are thronging to see this wonderful tree, this silent prophet of Judge Cowell's fortunes. They are fiocking toward it like pill grims to a holy shrine and some of them leave mementoes of their visit, for instance, cigars, collar buttons. This morning Judge Cowell visited the tree and left one of his stockings, the one he usually hangs up for Santa Claus. Deputy Judge Peasley may deliver a speech some evening before election on the silent prophet. The tree was the talk of the republican party to-day.

All for Love.

The Lake of Geneva is celebrated for its swans. Two of these birds were observed to be greatly attached to each other, being inseparable compan- ions. Their devotion was pointed out to visitors. Recently the park au- -thorities introduced to the lake a young female swan of great beauty to whom the male that had so long been noted for his conjugal fidelity imme- diately transferred his affections. The deserted female swan shortly after ward committed suicide by beating it's brains out against the quay. The body of the unfortunate bird has been stuffed and placed in the Geneva mu- scum. .-Dp4-

 Eddie Belden Refuses to Run for
 Town Clerk.
 The democratic school convention took place last night in the police court room and resulted ill the unanimous choice of the following as candidates for members of the school board: lsa- dore Chase, George W. Russell, Timo- thy Carmody, Charles Y. Kent.
 The convention was called toorderb by Chairman Holohan of the town com mitteee. M F. McKnnerney was chosen chairman and James Lahey clerk. The following were appointed as a committee on credentials. one from each ward: John Riley, T. F. Carmody, George Hayican, John Ma lone and J. A. Thompson. The com mitteee reported all the delegates, twenty-eight, present. The report was accepted. Then the delegates went into executive session ana femaIheu behind closed doors for nearly three quarters of an hour. Different candl- dates were balloted for and while some who didn't happen to get there showed considerable strength, still they failed to receive a majority vote, and their supporters turned in and made the nominations of the winning men unanimous. When the delegates returned to the chamber motion was made that the secretary be instructed to cast one ballot as the sense of the convention for the nomination of Isadore Chase as first member of the board of education. This was car ried unanimously and the others were chosen in the same manner in the order named. It was a very harmOni- ous convention, so much so that no one who believes in majority rule can point to anything that was not in ac- cordance with that method of doing business.
