 It is no secret that Platt and Hanna were doing considerable squirming for a few days after they realized that thc man whom they had shelxed as vice president was really headed for the White House. They did. not like it. They were afraidsof him. and they are still. but in a modified way. They realize that Roosevelt is going to do what he says he will, and they have that much to build on, but whether lie will do it in the way in which they want him to is another question. When he says he is going head first through q plate glass window the window had better be insured. and some of the en- terprises in which these two sapient gentlemen are engaged are of the na- ture of conservatory. They are rals- ing infant industries under glass, and that sort of thing. It would not be nice if the Rough Rider should put his boot through the shelter of the ship ping subsidies. Hanna says he will not, but maybe the wish is father to the thought. It is known that Roose- welt is very much interested in the up building of the merchant marine, and particularly that of the navy. He wishes to unite the countries of the two Americas by commercial links. The question is whether he can join the two wings of his party so that they will flap in unison and take him where he wants to go. President Me Kinley never exactly said anything in favor of subsidies, but then, he never said anything against them. Roose- welt never was neutral in his life. He reminds one of a remark of one of the characters in Tourgee's once famous. novel. "A Fools Errand'': "Old men generally get the credit for all the con- servatism in the world but it is a mis- take. 4 young man backs just as hard as he pulls. If he is opposed to thing he fights it tooth and nail" Roosevelt is only 42, and that is the kind of a conservative he will be when lie is one at all.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. 1901.

Judging from the first indications there's going to be something doing among the republicans of this clsy. The preliminary battle was held in two wards last night, and as result Ffed Cross, one of the best known repuDH- cans in town, was left on the outside. MT Cross has been a faithful worker for his party, but there is new blood coming in every day. and the men who have been in the harness for a long time must get out. Then, again, it IS said that the recent labor trouble ID this city has hurt the alderman from the second. However that may be, the democrats should take advantage of all these disruptions and meet their time honored enemy with an unbroken front. Greater Waterbury should and no doubt will be governed by demo- crats for the next two years as eff .ciently as the old municipality has been during the past two years.

HEARD IN PASSING

It begins to look as if we are to have a lot of personal opinions as evidence ill the Schley inquiry. Almost every one of importance who has an idea or a theory regarding that famous battle of Santiago will air it, and the general public will be just as far removed from an understanding of the general situation as ever. The hearing should be made as short and decisive as the battle was.-New Britain Herald.
 The very exuberance of the utter ances of various republican senators as to the confidence they have in Roosevelt. since his decision to retain the members of the present cabinet, is a little suspicious. It indicates that they have been scared and now are treasured. Another thing which should not be overlooked is that Roosevelts principal friends and supporters have not yet come on the scene. It IS thought that when Senator Lodge comes back from Europe there may be a change in the existing situation.
 The Rev Mir Sims has surrendered the passionate of an Atchison Baptist church on the ground that he cannot get along with his congregation. He says the women of his flock want to make q ladies' man out of him. II am Willing," he says, s.to make calls on the sick and afflicted, but am too old to get mixed up in society. The wo- men want me to dance attendance and take sides in their quarrels, but I ain't a-going to do it. All I want is for them to pay me the $100 they owe. and I will go to another church that is waiting for me. ."-Hartford Post.

unpardonnb1e vi11niny.

Pardon the question:" said the visitor who had been permitted to go behind the scenes, but when a man has acted the part of the principal villain as many times and in as many kinds of plays as you have, doesn't it make him feel sometimes as if he were real yillain?"
 Ut does make him real villain, replied the actor, with scowl. ''It obliterates his moral sense and makes him equal to anything. For example at the end of the next act, after have just died horrible death, you'll see me come before the curtain and acknowledge the applause of the audience-darn mel"

TATTooING IN WHITE.
Inidens at the Seaside Have Utilized the sums Rays for a New and
 Novel Fad.

Positively the newest fad of the sea- shore resorts thisSeason is exceeding ly popular with the summer girls-tat- tooing in white. How it originated no one has been able to tell, but it got here, as nearly all can testify. One of the charmers appeared on the beach at Atlantic City the other day with her favorite college design apparently tat tooed in white on her sun-browned arm. There was the white flag of the University of Pennsylvania, with the letters "U. P.," and beneath this a little heart. The thing caused deal of speculation and something of a sen- sation for long time, but the fair schemer could not keep the secret and a lot of her chums copied the idea, which now threatens to spread all along the coast.
 ''How is it done?' asked the fair one in reply to questioner. "Thatis easy. Before l expose my arm to the fierce rays of the sun I cut out the design I wished from adhesive plaster and stuck it fast to my arm. When the browning process was we'll along Itook off the plaster and there was the flag in white just as nice as you please"
 One of the fair devotees of fads was not content to show her college prefer ences on her arm, but worked out 8 design on her neck. It is not likely that many will follow her idea, how ever, since they must don evening dress for the hops. Some of them have gone step further and allowed the sun to print upon their fair arms the initials of their very best young men, with a sentimental design accompany ino them

There is no doubt that Roosevelt will he strenuous in some direction. It is said that he will favor not only q large navy, but q standing army of a strength equal to that provided under the reorganization act of last winter. Whether the army can be enlarged in definitely without Interfering with the welfare of the people as a whole is one of the questions not yet settled. We are not ready for any such ideals of military service as those which pre- vail in Europe, and it is doubtful if We really want to be. Another place in which there is likely to be some shaking up is the secret service. Pres ident Roosevelt has been collecting testimony about the performances of the secret service men at Buffalo. and it is stated that he regards them with contempt, as q lot of incompetents. and will make some radical changes in that branch of the government very soon. In this connection there is a little story about Josiah FIynt. the tramp detective. which is interesting. Flynt. as most people know, is a col lege- bred man. who has been knocking about in the disguise of a hobo for the last ten or fifteen years, gathering ;n- Formation about tramp and criminal classes. and is possible the best au- thOrity in the country on this subject. He published an article Sometime ago which was terrible arraignment of the New York detective force. and the New York people were mad. They said they would. show him that he could not talk in that way about the police of a great city. For two days they hunted for him. At the end cf that time he strolled into the front office" talked with the chief about an irrelevant matter. and asked incidental ly. Have they caught that man FIynt yetg He was regaled with unvarn- ished opinions of himself and strolIed out again in state of inward amuse- ment. They have not caught him vet The fact is that the detective and the secret service men are not as sharn as the criminal, and until they are, until men who are resourceful, shrewd and incorruptible make up these forces, the criminal will have about as good a time as he does now.

NATION OF PAPERS.
Great Gains Made by the Newspa-
 pers in the Last Ten Years.
Census Report Shows That United States Hns a VoraciOus Appetite for News-Iowa the Greatest
 Newspaper State in Country.

By a report by the census bureau, which is expected to be made public in the course of week, great gain lished in the United States is shown, and, incidentally, a compliment is paid to the western section of the country. The greatest gain in the number of newspapers and publish ing plants has been made in that section. Massachusetts, according to the present census, will have to yield its place at the head of the list to Iowa. The Hawkeye state, in pro- portion to it's population, has more newspapers than any other state in the union.
 The total number of printing es- tablishments in the United States, as will be shown by the forthcoming census report, is 23,916, a gain of 1916 during the ten years ending 1900. The last census showed only 16,000 printing establishments. These establishments include job printing, newspaper and book publishing plants. Census officials point out that the greatest gain has been made in the west, and this section is shown to have made immense strides. Iowa, in proportion to it's population, has twice as many news papers as Massachusetts. The big gest increase in the printing estab- ilshments has been in the newspaper fields.
 The report will also show that there are approximately 30,00o grist mills in the country, an enormous increase over the number of ten years ago. The schedules on this subject have not yet been entirely edited, and the exact figures are not known.
 There are approximately 10000 breweries in the country. The cen sus office is expected to issue it's re port on manufactures within a few days. It is looked for with consid- erable interest, as it is the most inn portant report which the census of flee will issue, next to the report on the population.
 Among the most important fea- lures will be that on the average wage scale throughout the country. The entire number of employees in the United States will be given, to- gether with their average wage.

Dend sea of Thibet.

Sven Hedin has discovered a second Dead sea in the highlands of Thibet "a vast lake so impregnated with salt that indigenous life is out of the question. It was impossible for him to get his boat close to the shore, so that he and his companions had to wade out two boat lengths before she would float, and this was sufficient to coat their legs and clothes thickly with salt. The entire bed of the lake appeared to consist of salt, and the density of the life less water was, of course, very high. Nature.

DISTANCE JUDGING.
Success in Estimating Accurately a Given Space Is Very
 Rare.

A familiar example of the vagueness of our mental ideas on the dimensions of familiar objects is the trick by which a number of people are induced to measure off upon the wall what they consider to be the height of top hat. Success in this feat is rare, says the London Globe, and the estimation in yards or miles of distances in the open air is no less difficult, though often considerably more useful. Gen. orally, of course, it is the level sur face or one filled with monotonous fea- lures many times repeated which is most underestimated, while diyersi- fcation seems to impress the mind with a greater notion of extent. Even so, the usual tendency is greatly to underestimate distances of more than a quarter of mile, while the differ ences between the guesswork compu- tations of various members of the same party are often extraordinary. In our ordinary life we have rarely need for ascertaining in actual yards the distance of objects under observa- tion, and our faculty of estimation is not developed much further when we have once left the stage behind at which all the objects in room, for instance, appear to the infant to be equally within it's grasp. The difficulty of judging distance is much increased over an undulatory or hilly surface, whether it is desired to find out the actual superficial measurement or the "air hne," as the Germans term it, for rifle shooting in sport or war. In this last application the training of the faculty is extremely important, and in actual fact often extremely im- nerfect

 My Dear Sir--Your letter received. | am still at the old stand where I have been for seventeen years.
 Oliver F. Cutts, about whom you make inquiry, was teacher of mathe- matics and physical culture for four years. He did full work in the school and never received compensation in any way, either by board or money, for help given to any of our athletic teams. All our teachers divide up the care of the athletics among them, and this was pre- cisely the position MT. Cutts held here. He never played on the Haverford col lege football team, He came from Hates college, where he played, but the number of years he played I am unable to state

 was almost overwhelmed by extra ex- press business.
 Assistant Yard Master Turbush of Harlem River, who was discharged there and whose discharge is one of the causes of the strike, was present at the St. Aloysius hall meeting last night.
 Last night in the office of Vice Presi- dent Merrill long conference with the strikers committee from Harlem River was held and from what could be learn ed from talk with MT. Merrill at the conclusion of the conference, the strike that has been the talk of the state for the past few days, will come to an end before many hours. The committee of five that waited on MT. Merrill was headed by Mr. Taintor, one of the lead CTS in Harlem River, and after the con- ference he said he would go to New York and tell teh strikers the result of the talk with the roads vice president, although he said that he didn't think that the strikers had accomplished much at the meeting. MT. Merrill was seen after the meeting and he said that nothing in the way of a settlement had been reached and that the road was just in the same position it was two days ago. He said that it would not be many hours before things were in working order again as over fifty men were coming back to the road each day. He also said that freight was sent over the road yesterday and in speaking of the demands of the workingmen said L. stand they did. MT. Merrill said that the men did not ask to reinstate Tur- bush, but when they spoke of the men that were put in the vacant places he informed them that if a man was satis factory he would be put in and that when he was not satisfactory he would be dep,sed M" Merrill alst said that he thought the heads of the department could put in just who they wanted to. The meeting came to an ending at 10:15.
