It is not much to be wondered
at that the man Schissler would
want to shoot somebody after
living with a woman who would
talk such twaddle as the above.
A FRENCH invention Of a new
phonetic typewriter is the latest
great thing for rapid writing, and
it claims for the new machine a
speed of 200 words a minute.
There are but ten keys on the
new machine, one of which rests
under each finger and thumb of
the operator. The machine will
print from two, three or six keys
at a time, or any of the whole
mum Der on the machine. In this
way the phonetic spelling of any
word can be secured at one i'm
preston, the different keys Of
course all printing their respec-
tive signs and characters.
Seventy, two combinations of
vowels, consonants, ETC., are to
be obtained, and this is all that is
required to print any word. The
machine can be operated as we'll
in the dark as in the light, as
there is no shifting of the fingers
for letters or characters. Each
Of the ten fingers is given it's own
work, and each has it's own
characters. The machine is said
to be a success, and it will per
haps be introduced into the Eng
lish language, and take the place
of shorthand to a large extent.
Russell A. ALGER, of Michi-
gan, has been sworn in as a
member of the United States
Senate. That there is a way of
recuperating i'll luck is evidenced
in the case Of Mr.. Alger. At the
time of the breaking out Of the
Spanish-American war he was
one of the big men of the coun-
try. Then there came up before
him anabsolutely impossible task,
and of course the kickers went
after him hard. with the result
that after a few months Mr.
Alger, who had been secretary
of war, was obliged to resign his
portfolio in the cabinet. He
stepped down and out as grace
fully as he could and returned to
his home in Michigan. The
loyal people of that state were
more inclined to be fair with
their representative than the
country at large, and when there
came an opportunity to do Mr..
Alger great honor they did not
hesitate to endorse him for
the Senate. Mr.. Alger is
one of the ablest men in the
nation, and it is certainly pleas
ing thing that for once in the
political world the son of great
state has been given an oppor-
tunity to retrieve his fortunes.
THERE is something Of stir
in political circles down at Hay
ward not on the regular list. of
trou bles among office holders.
The Indian Agency at Washing
ton has sent a special represen-
tative to Hayward to investigate
charges of an offensive political
nature against Farmer Rod man,
while the post Office authorities
have a man on the ground looking
into charges Of a similar nature
against Postmaster Pugh.

District Attorney Jerome made an- other of his nerve-exhausting speech es in New York yesterday. He re buked the newspapers of the city for criticising the grand jury because it did not indict the officials of the New York Central railroad who were re- sponsibIe for the tunnel disaster. MT Jerome can find some one to rebuke whenever he is asked to make a speech Hartford Times.
 Jerome's great forte seems to be in making speeches and giving inter views to reporters of some of the pa pers which he so roughly handled i'll his recent speech. If the people of New York like that kind of thing they are getting enough of it. The district attorney before election prom ised to do something different. Per haps he thinks if he can, keep himself before the public i'll speeches and in- terviews he will be able to fool them Abraham Lincoln's saying holds good yet. which is something like this: You can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.''

kcdmond,s Fiery utterances

LONDON, March G.-John Redmond, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party, speaking at United Irish league demonstration at Finsbury, Middlesex, said the Irish party was apparently the only party ill parlia- ment today which knew it's own mind and was not torn by internal dissen- sions. Every reference made by Mir. Redmond to Lord Salisbury, the pre- mier; Mr. Wyndham, the chief secreta- ry for Ireland; Lord Rosebery and MT. H. H. Asquith, M. F., was greeted with groans and hisses by his hearers. Continuing, Mir. Redmond said that the demands of those in favor of home rule were moderate and reasonable. Far from English legislators being able to pigeonhole home rule or wipe it off the slate, it would remain, the speaker said, to confound confuse and divide English parties, to wreck Eng fish governments, to ruin English statesmen, to paralyze English parlia ments and to blast the moral influence of England before the world until it was settled by the concession of the just, moderate and constitutional de- mands of the Irish people.

production is not natural. but that 1t is necessary to mans comfort and well fare. Man long ago discovered that the earth yields it's food products dur ing short annual periods which we now call harvest and that if he would en- joy these products continuously he must gather and store up of the sur plus during these periods sufficient to satisfy his wants until the next har- vest. This was mans first lesson, that temporary surplus production was a necessity to his comfort and welfare, and was not over-production.' Over production is a term which should never be applied to the production of any useful or desirable commodity which can be preserved or carried to q place or time when it will be needed. Only a few years ago there were sea sons when the receipts of fruit in all large cities were sometimes so great within few days, and thereby prices were forced so low, that the fruit scarcely brought the amount of the freight. Very often large quantities went to decay for lack of demand. This in turn discouraged shipments, and then would succeed a season of great scarcity. It took experience and many years of loss to rectify this condition, but finally it was accomplished by the establishment of fruit exchanges and cold storage warehouses, where fruits can be preserved in q perfect condition for months. The result is that prices of all such products are now more sta ble, the public is more regularly sup piled, at all seasons, consumption has been enormously increased, and the profits of both producers and dealers are more uniform and remunerative. It was temporary surplus production of fruit, before it was brought under in telligent control, which caused irregu- larity in the supply"

 It is likely enough that the project ed visit to Ireland of King Edward has been abandoned on account of the aggressive action of the United Irish league.

It begins to look now as though President Andrews of the constitu- tional convention is favorable to the small towns. He gave the cities a fair representation on the committee of 24, where they could do no harm, anyway, but look at the committee of 9, which will draft the article on con- stitutional reform. The cities are hardly represented at all, Danbury being the largest place that has a representative. The men named on this committee represent q population of less than 10000. 1t seems as though President Andrews might have recognized at least one of the large cities. any one of whose dele gates represents more people than the nine that were named. It is a useless fight, and again the Democrat sug- gests turning out the lights.

 Once more the sight of sleighs skimming swiftly over the borough streets brings gladness to the heart of the man who runs sleigh parties.

He is also anx- ious that the snow fall of yesterday be fairly loaded with shekels.
 A large force of men under Super intendent of Roads Pitcher were kept busy all day clearing the park and borough walks of snow.

 Bringing Disaufeting News.
 MANILA, March 6.--Senor AmpiI, presidente of the town of Cainta prov ince of Morong, Luzon, who is we'll known as an American sympathizer and who was recently captured by the insurgents, together with some of ths native constabulary, who disappeared March 3 after an engagement with the rebels, has escaped from his captors and returned to Calnta.
 Senor Ampil says that the insurgent force which took him prisoner is an en- tirely new organization commanded by Colonel Simmetee of Pasay and was consists of fifty-five uniformed men armed with rifles, all of whom wear police badges.
 Since the capture of Senor Ampil and the engagement of the constabulary March 3 the province of Morong has been in q ferment. The unrest has grown with Senor Ampil's return and the spreading of his reports of new or ganizations. The excitement is now in tense, and many of the inhabitants of the province who have been friendly to the United States authorities are leaving their houses and crops and em- igrating in the hope of saving their lives.

 Thomas Maxwell, who works for Seymour Smith X Sons, had rather q hard time getting to work a few morn ings ago. The car fare to Welton depot, which is he nearest point to Smiths shop, is 10 cents. By buying q book of ten tickets the fare to Oak vile is only five cents. MT Maxwell was using the Oakville tickets. Con ducor Scott took his ticket, but did not stop at Weltons. Mir Maxwell got off at Oakville and waited until the train came back and got aboard for Welton's again. He asked the conductor to stop and he was in formed that his ticket called for one continuous passage between Oakville and Watertown. The only thing to do was to ride back to Watertown again. After making two trips on the train past the shop where he wanted to get to work he decided that Van derbilt's Public be dammed'' policy still holds good. The only way for him to get to Smiths shop was to walk. so he took fresh hold on his lunch basket and started counting ties. He finally got to work about 9 o'clock Who says we doif't need any trolley :?

A professor at Northwestern univer- sity says that the users of cigarettes constitute but small portion of the honor students, and the majority of them are of q low grade of scholarship. He argues from this that the use of the cigarette results in mental deterior- ation and that it is responsible for the weak minds of the smokers. With all due respect to the erudition of the learned professor, we suggest that he is arguing with his premises and de ductions transposed. Is it not more likely that weak minds are responsible for the cigarette habit rather than vice versa?
