 These suicides amongst the French soldiers became of such frequent oc- currence as to cause a great deal of discussion with the law-making body of the country, resulting in an act being framed to meet the case, and which afterwards became a law. This law provided that whenever a soldier of the French army committed suicide a hole should be dug in one of the cemeteries and the body should be secretly conveyed there and thrown into it and buried like dog, and no mention of it made in the papers. This method was found to be an effectual bar against suicide, as such cases have been exceedingly rare since the enact ment. A law should be passed by every state in the Union making assasslna- tion punishable by hanging, to be fol lowed by disposal of the culprit's remains in the French manner, without permitting the notoriety now accorded to such criminals upon which their crazy vanity feeds.

The rise of President Roosevelt has been rapid. more so perhaps than any man who ever sat in the presidential chair. His friends are now wondering if he will be equal to the emergency. There is no doubt of it. and those who have watched his movements the past dozen years are positiyeathat he will give this country an administration that will keep it where it is now, the foremost country on the face of Gods footstool. Every man who is loyal citizen wishes and prays for such an administration and extends to the new president the right hand of fellowship. Long may he live. and may President Roosevelt's ride be handed down by the muses to the generations for ages to come His midnight ride over lone ly mountain roads, and then by special train would have prostrated some men, but he was equal to the occasion and proved again, if such a thing were necessary that he has the true Ameri- can grit which goes to make great men.

Henry Clews in his weekly letter, written before President McKinley's death, had the following paragraph: Lop-sided people. with half-cracked brains, are usually vain and such ir- dIviduaIs, after struggling in life and finding themselves incapable of obtain ing notoriety, not infrequently resort to desperate acts to bring them into public notice. If it became the GUS tom of the country for tue newspapers never to mention the %names of assassins fewer of such crimes would be committed. The same love of mo- toriety became a disease many years ago with officers in the French army, who, ,resorted to suicide to gain the de sired end. Every such death was ac- corded the honors of burial the same as if it occurred on the battlefield.

CREAM OF FISH.

A delicate dish which is equally suitable for the house luncheon or the dinner i'll camp, is soup made from any kind of white fish; chowders and fried fish are usually relished by the appetite sharpened by the freedom of camp life, but even there one often craves the more delicate preparations of this favorite food from bay or lake ' or stream; for 8 fish weighing from three to four pounds, well cleaned, skinned and cut in several pieces, al low two quarts of boiling water. and as fish needs considerable seasoning provide also one onion, one tomato, three or four potatoes, two sprigs of parsley, all cut fine; one teaspoonful of minced green pepper. onehalf inch of bay leaf, two cloves, two teaspoon fuls of salt, and cook these with the fish in covered stewpan at gentle simmering, for half an hour; turn into colander; remove the bones, and mash the fish and vegetables through: then rub again through a puree strain CT; this part of the process may be done early in the day; then when nearly ready to serve, put the soup over the fire again, and when boiling stir in one cup of cream and add salt and pepper if needed; to make it rich CT add just before serving the yolks of two eggs beaten and mixed with one fourth cup of cream; remove from the fire as soon as well mixed lest over cooking curdle the egg; if cream is not obtainable use one pint of milk thick ened with two tablespoonfuls of butter and two tablespoonfuls of flour cooked together.

Waterbury was q pretty patriotic place yesterday and all of the churches, Protestant and Catholic. were crowd ed to the doors. Every worshipper looked for a reference in the sermons to the assassination of President Me Kinley, and they were not disappoint- ed, for it was made the subject of some of the abIest discourses held in a long time. The death of Mckinley has drawn the people of the country closer together, and will no doubt, make many of them better Christians. II those who listened to these sermons yesterday will try to carry out the wishes of the speakers 1t will not take a great while to drive anarchy from this, the greatest and freest country in the world.

NEW PRIVATE CARS.

Private railway cars have always been associated i'll the popular mind with great wealth, but plan has been developed which makes it possible for even a vaudeville actor or q business man in ordinary circumstances, or anybody else reasonably well-to-do, who enjoy the luxury of travel, to own a private car built according to his own specifications. A car-reftting company in New York city buys old Pullman coaches. tears tEe inside fur nishings out, and refits them accord ing to the wishes of its customers. Whatever kind of private car a man may wish he may order-parlors, hand somely carpeted, sitting rooms, dining rooms, sleeping compartments, smox- ing rooms-all with equipments more or less perfect according as the price. And cars are refitted in this way and sold for prices varying from $1 300 to $15,O0O.
 Very handsome and serviceable cars ~have been built from tile old sscast- zawaysv and the man of moderate means can travel privately and com fortably in home of his own. It is an interesting evidence of American manufacturing thrift and of the growth of wealth. 4 Worlds Work.

AN ABSENT MINDED SENATOR.

It is asserted by friends of Senator Stewart of Nevada, says a Washing ton correspondent of the New York Sun, that if his absence of mind could be cut into strips and pasted together end for end it would reach twice around illimitable space and tie . double bow knot. Out on the slope they used to tell a story of how he was hastening one morning to catch a train,. when he suddenly stopped and said to his companion:
 'aThere, by thunder, I've left my watch under my pillow."p
 ssLets go back and get it." said his friend.
 Hold on,' said the senator, .I don't believe we'll have. time,' and he drew the watch from his pocket, looked carefully at the face of il, counted the moments and added, No, we wont have time," and pressed on toward the station, saying, "Oh, we'll I guess can get along for a day without q watch"
 It is also related that Senator Stew art dressed himself, at the hotel one morning, putting his vest on wrong side out, and insa few moments pre- sented himselfsat the office. excitedly rubbing the places where the pockets ought to be and complaining that he had been robbed.
 1t might have been believed that these tales were works of imagination had not the senator one day this week, given testimony to their truth The clerk of the senate was monoto- nously calling the roll on some ques- ton on which Senator Stewart was not interested. The senator sat with his elbows on his desk, his cheeks upon his hands, and his eyes fixed upon vacancy, whither his mind had gone.
 MT Stewart" the clerk called.
 There was moment of silence. Senator Stewart continued to look at nothing.
 .'Mr Stewart the clerk called again, and MT Stewart did not hear him. gTil .aJAal
 A brother senator who was sitting near reached over and touched him. The light of consciousness was just returning to the dreamer's eyes when the clerk shouted once more, MT Stewartr'

 Next to the death of the president,
 the absorbing subject to-day is the Schley-Sampson controversy. In many
 respects the case promises to be cele- ! bfated. The centers of interest dis cussed are will Sampson's health per
 init his presence as a witness? The opinion is general that Admiral Samp-
 son is not in good health and that this | fact may be the reason given should
 he decide not to testify for any req
 sons appearing later in the investiga-
 tiOns. On the other hand. it is thought that if he chooses to appear as a wit ness the state of his health will not interfere, the time and circumstance being arranged to suit his condition As Admiral Sampson made the original
 indictment against Admiral Schley in his charge of incompetency and in- subordination, it seems fitting that lie should in some form be a party to the controversy. The dislike for the press has not abated in army and navy cir cles. The Army and Navy club of Washington, the most exclusive club in the country, is frequently the scene of rigorous denunciation of the press, the consensus of opinion being that newspaper statements are wholly un- reliable. An admiral prominent in au- thority made the statement last even ing that when he saw a newspaper article he said, not how much of this is true, but is any of it true? The ad- miral was frank enough to admit that he did not intend to include all papers in his remark Out his exceptions were not enumeratedl. These facts add in- terest to the trial and it is not sur prising that the entire subject is a matter of daily discussion. Judge Advocate-G General Lemly, has gone over the testimony with the various wit nesses preparatory to the trial, in order to eliminate all unnecessary matter and classify the evidence.
