CHARLES 4. RUSSELL.

It doesn't seem long since Charlie" Russell was a newspaper worker in Worcester. learning how to deal with men and things, and showing the quail ities that were to make him popular and successful. And yet it is twenty-five years ago. Since then he has been most of the time in public life, where he has served with uncommon useful ness and success. In 1881 he was ap- pointed an aid on the staff of Governor Bigelow: was elected to the legislature in 1883, and in the fall of 1884 ran on the Republican State ticket for secretary of state. He was elected and served term of two years. The Hon. John T. Wait of Norwich retiring from long years of congressional honors about this time, the Republicans of the district elected Colonel Russell as his successor. He was nominated and elected in the fall of 1886, and was nominated in every campaign since that time, without any
 
 competition for the nomination. He did good work in congress, was an import ant member of the Committee on Ways and Means, and was a power in legis- lation. There was talk of making him United States senator and if this had been done he would have been as use full in the senate as he was in the house.
 MT. Russell was very agreeable and companionable man, but he was also a man of strong character. He had well earned the respect and confidence of the people of Connecticut, and they were his. The State will be very for- tunate if his successor is as capable and useful as he was.

MORE TROUBLE.

That is a saddening story about oys- ters which is told by Dr. c. L. Moore, of the United States Fish Commission. Dr.. Moore has just. returned from
 trip to the oyster grounds of Chesa-
 peake Bay, and he reports that condi-
 tions there are very discouraging. Oys- ters throughout that region are thin and fiat at a period of the year when they should be plump and fat and ready for the table. The scarcity of | food, especially for oysters that have been artificially propagated, has been giving more and more trouble every | year, and it is particularly marked this year. Dr. Moore says that the Lynn
 Haven Bay oysters, which are the prize products of Chesapeake Bay in the oys- ter line. are particularly bad off, and
 hardly a barrel of them has been ship ped north so far. Lack of food for oys- ters is more pronounced in some years than others, but this seems to be an off year. Oysters feed on
 minute particles of plant life, and the | species on which they thrive is found in greatest abundance in places where | fresh and salt water mingle In in | closed areas, like Lynn Haven Bay, and I similar bodies of water, the supply of oyster food is more apt to become ex- hausted than in open bays and estua- ries where small streams empty into the main body of water. For this req son the scarcity of food has not been so
 marked in Long Island Sound as ia I Chesapeake Bay, but pr. Moore says
 that complaints are yearly growing
 more numerous about the difficulty of
 finding sufficient food for the oysters in
 the Sound, especially those on the arti
 fcial beds
 And must the oyster go with the lob-
 ster and the other good things that are
 going? This is a world of trouble.
 How pleasant it will be to go to
 Heaven, where we shall not have to
 worry about coal, oysters, or getting
 into Society.

The Desk slnYe,s Song.

O this is the song of the man who's chained All day to a r0ll-tOp desk; Who, sweltering over type-machine. AsSumeth a shape grOtesque. The breeze and the sunshine are not for
 him.
 The sky is a mere hearsay; He sits and he grinds mid the rustling
 sheets
 Through all of the dull, dull day. He thinks of the years when his hands
 were hard. His arms like the best of steel; He thinks of the days when his 1.-the limbs
 made
 Good time on racing wheel; He thinks of the day when he held his own In harvesting hay or grain Then smiles at the thought that q croquet Can give him next-day pain He sighs to remember the mighty brawn He showed on the college track: He thinks of the days when he played base
 ball.
 And wishes those days were back; He thinks of himself in football suit We'll padded and picturesque, Then weeps o'er recalling the aabby form That's chained to the roll-top desk. o man in the field, with the hoe or plough o man with the ditching spade! Yearn not for the "easy, white handed
 job
 Instead of your sturdy trade. There's money-sometimes-i the office
 grind
 There's life in the work you do. You are famed and warmed by the breeze and sun
 And arched with a roof of blue. Your food is the food of a hungry man, You sleep like the dead at night Your muscles are firm and your heart is
 good.
 Your cause is the cause of right; We slaves of the desk would ren0unce our
 hope Of wealth or a ''raise" in pay If we could but feel as we used to feel Back there in our husky" day. -S. W. Gillian in the Los Angeles Herald.

PAY UP AND LOOK PLE4SANT.

When there is arbitration the loser can't always see the value of it as clearly as the winner can, but he knows it is there. So the United States can have that knowledge and rejoice in it, even if it can't rejoice in the fact that the King of Sweden and Norway, in his capacity as arbitrator in the Sa- moan controversy between the United States and Great Britain on one side and Germany on the other, has given a decision in favor of the latter. The question thus decided grew out of the joint action taken by the United States and Great Britain when combined naval eorce was landed at Apia in 1899 on account of disturb ances arising from a disputed success sion to the kingship of the islands
 This landing party met with some losses in the fighting which followed and bombardment of the town by Admiral Kautz was result. During this some damage was inflicted on property belonging to foreigners re- siding on the islands and claims for compensation were afterward made. Previous to these events and subse- 'quent to them there was very hot dispute, with much mutual recrimi- nation and some calling of names, be- tween the resident officials of the diff ferent nations concerned Each gov ernment naturally was inclined to trust its own servants and all the material was at hand for the making of serious quarrel. As the parties to the dispute could come to no agreement in the matter it was finally decided to refer it to King Oscar for arbitration. By his decision the governments of the
 United States and Great Britain are

RUSSIAN FAILURE

The failure of the great metallurgical works at Kerch. in Russia. is an i'm portant matter. By 1t thousands of men have been thrown out of employ ment, and there is a deficit of about twenty millions of roubIes. The chief losers are several French and Russo French companies, a few Belgian houses and three Russian companies, including the Brjansk iron works. The undertaking given by government to expend fixed yearly amount in the purchase of rails and other building material among certain iron works had given an impulse to the industry. Practically Russian iron works exist upon government orders, the state own ing and building nearly all the rail- roads. The connection, therefore, be- tween the iron works and the govern ment is of the closest, and very slight change of policy may mean a great loss to the former. In the present case it seems that the Russian government found itself called upon at an incon- venient time to provide cash for sev- eral large undertakings at once. After much manipulation of the stocks of the Brjansk and the Kerch companies the Minister of Finance was forced to choose between them. He decided in favor of the Brjansk iron works. and before long the Kerch works, in spite of the efforts of the French hinanciers interested, were obliged to suspend. The assets of the company are about eight hundred and fifty thousand roubles, and the liabili- ties more than eighteen million rou- h1as

DEATH OF THE PARIS PYTHON.

DEAlh Ii Ot' THE PARIS r G4ldON.
 The great python serpent of the Paris Jardin des Plantes has just died after fasting for two years. five months and three days. This finely marked python came from Japan. It was twenty-one feet long. and when it arrived was in prime condition and extremely lively, only it refused all manner of food. It was offered a Dahomey sheep, rabbits, geese, ducks. fowl. It would occasion ally strangle the animals or birds placed in it's cage. but under no circum- stances would it eat them. The python took bath from time to time. At length it lost weight and strength, and it's scales turned a dull gray. Towards the beginning of this year it became ex- tremely lean, and remained curled up in corner of it's cage, and quite harmless. Its keepers compelled it to swallow eggs, but the food apparently wmas un- digested. The body was covered with ugly sores and the scales came off. The different organs of the serpent became inert one after another. Its weight when it came from Japan was one hum dred and sixty-five pounds; at the time of its death it weighed siXty-six per cent, a larger proportion than has ever been observed hitherto in any animal- Paris Correspondence of the London Daily News.

George H.. Hillyer of West Superior. Minnesota, one of the best known gold mining experts in the country, thinks he has exploded the theory that taran- tula bites must be either fatal or seri- ously inconvenient. He was bitten more than dozen times on a recent tour of inspection in Southern Arizona.
 Nearly every mine shaft in that part of the country is infested with taran- tulas.~ The white miners wear gloves to protect themselves from the veni- nous spiders. MT. Hillyer knew ,noth- ing of all this and went into the Big
 Hill mine unprotected. Before he came out he had seen thousands of the ta- rantulas and captured dozen of the largest. He was bitten repeatedly, and
 yet not even inconvenienced. The sec-

BASKET BALL.
The High School Team Defeated by
University BOYS.

university Boys.
The basket ball game between the
boys of the High school and the Uni
versity, which was played at Colombo
hall last night. resulted in honors for
the University team by the score of II
to 3.
The affair was satisfactory. both
from financial standpoint on the part
of the boys and from an entertaining
point of view on the part of the aud
ience. A larger crowd could not have
been accommodated
The game was hotly contested from
start to finish. No shirking was evi
dent on either side. All the players
We're in 1t for blood and even football
tactics were resorted to on several oc
casions. The University had the best
of it from the start, although some ex
cellent playing was displayed by High
school boys. The University had their
opponents handicapped to a certain
extent by weight, and they also had
the best of 1t by practice and expert
ence, their team work showing NJ
much better than that of the High
school boys. They were also favored
by fate to certain extent, for several
times fouls were called as the ball fell
| in the University's basket.
After the game a couple of hours
of dancing was enjoyed. Mrs. Rost
Berry furnished the music.
