After dinner the committee men went to democratic headquarters in the Malley building and went at once into executive session.

Government Was Too Generous.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-A days reflection appears to have convinced many peo- pie that the government has treated the Cunard Steamship company too generously, and considerable objection is crystallizing around the question as to whether the government has not acted overhastily in thus departing from it's traditional policy with re gard to subsidies. The strongest ob- jection is made to providing money with which to build new steamers. It is argued that so doing will form difficult precedent as other shipping companies are certain to demand sim liar privileges, which it will be hard to refuse

 Since the nomination of John Leary for constable at the democratic con- yention on Wednesday evening and the defeat of Constable Thomas Pryor for re-nomination, it has been constantly rumored that MT Leary would with draw in favor of Mir Pryor. A Demo- crat reporter saw Mir Leary last night and he issued the following statement, the first which he has made on the subject: If Constable Pryor wants the position, he can have it. l will withdraw in favor of MT Pryor if he wants the office of constable, but wish it distinctly understood that no. influence from any source has been brought to bear upon me to withdraw. I withdraw of my own free will. The entire matter was left in my hands by the Economic league and I have decid- |. ed to act as 1 stated above. No friend of MT Pryor has approached me in the matter" At the adjourned town con-. .yention, which will be held in the city hall tomorrow night, MT Leary will decline the nomination and Con stable Pryor will be nominated.
 1.-The Economic league" says the New Haven Palladium. arranged for an independent sheriff ticket, censured Senator Bree and Representative Dom ovan, and made it harder for profes- siOnal politicians to remain members of the body, in a meeting of less than two hours, last night. The resolution which provides for calling a county convention of leaguers was offered by William J. OBfien, member of the state central committee of the league. The convention will take place before October z. The local leagues of Meri- den, Ansonia and Waterbury will send an equal number. Mayor Charters will be nominated, if he will stand. If not somebody else may be. This ac- tion probably means the defeat of the democratic candidate, c. A. Tomlinson of Milford. Some of the members wanted to withdraw the leagues in- dorsement from Senator Bree and Rep resentative Donovan, because they
 
 proxies and voted against MT Charters and for MT Tomlfnson. A member said, Let's wait. the republicans may nominate two just as bad' Therefore the members contented themselves with passing a short and sharp resolu- tiOn of censure, copies of which will be sent to those most interested. An amendment to the constitution was adopted. It provides for - branch leagues in the wards and provides that the chairman of each ward league shall be a member of a labor union. It is further provided that member found working against the general principles of the league may be expelled

A MethodicaI Being.

A man of method, who attended to
everything on schedule time, whether
it was work or recreation, had the for
tune to fall in love when he had passed
the age of forty. The mistress of his
heart put UP with his oddities. He had
regular nights for calling upon her,
regular hours for coming and going,
regular theater and club nights, etc.
In fact she looked upon his regularity
as something admirable.
Things had been going on In this
way for two years, and finally the
great crisis came. They were to be
married. The day was fixed, the we'd
ding clothes were made, the guests in
vited and the minister was engaged.
At the appointed time they were all
assembled. The bride was dressed,
the wedding presents were displayed,
but the bridegroom came not. The
bride wept and tainted, but it did no
good Finally some friends OF the de-
linquent groom hurried away to see if
he could be found. He could. He
was at home in his room, reading as
unconcernedly as If he had never con-
templated getting married.
What is the matter? Why don't
you come to your wedding" shouted
his friends
The man of regular habits laid down
his books.
II am very sorry" he said, but this
is my regular day for staying at home
and reading forgot it when made
the engagement The wedding will
have to be postponed" London Tit

! WHAT WISDOM DENIED US.

The MOST Fatal Gift That Gould BE

Granted the power to do it, which
would be the most fatal gift that could
be conferred on mankind7
Omnipotence without omniscience.
An omnipotent man, with the best of
Intentions toward his kind, could cas-
lily wreck the universe and probably
would, since, unless he knew every
thing, he would infallibly make some
mistake which could not fail to have
very terrible consequences. Next to
this would be the power of foreseeing
events This would eliminate the great
est factor in human happiness, because
the man who could foresee everything
would have no hope. He would not
only know his own fate, but that of all
other human beings and also all their
feelings and Intentions, which, of itself
alone, would make society impossible.
Equally terrible would be the power
of prolonging life at will, since no man
or woman would willingly die so long
as life remained even tolerable. This
lis proved by the shocking conditions
under which people now consent to
live. The race would probably con-
tinue to multiply indefinitely until all
the habitable portions of the globe be-
came overcrowded. Then would COM
mence a struggle for existence which
mo human imagination could portray.
War would be an impossibility, since
no man could kill another who did not
wish to die, and humanity would reach
some inconceivable climax of misery
from which nothing but the interven-
ton of a higher power could possibly
release it-Pearson's Weekly.

Holland, forms part of the northern
part of the Netherlands. These prov

from the sea and defended by immense
dikes Holland was inhabited by the
Batvi in the time of Caesar, who made
a league with them. 1t became part
of Gallia Belgica and afterward of the

A LtttIe Girr. Commitment

Two women and a bright little girl
occupied seats In a Prospect avenue
car one evening The little girl at
tracted attention with her questions
and answers. 1t was when the car
reached Eighteenth street that the eli
max was reached. At that point the
car makes long stop before pulling
up the hill. 1t was while the car was
at a standstill that pretty woman
and evidently a friend of the two in
the car passed along.
ooh, dear! There's Mrs. S. Ny!
She is such a handsome woman" said
the mother of the bright little girl to
her friend.
Eyes; she is beautiful" assented the
friend.
The little girl was looking out of the
window after the figure strolled up the
hill Presently she turned in her seat.
Say. mamma. you look just like that
lady"

sweetly.

him was to ask if there were any

rope and realizing that chain would
hurt too much, he gave up the idea
and wandered down into the cornfield
An hour later his fond mother found
him asleep with pumpkin for a pill

sentinel over his slumbers. She wiped

whispered:

Considering its universal popularity
and excellent standing in agricultural
circles, it is remarkable how many
aliases there are under which the pea
nut travels. Whenever It is introduced
to a new community the toothsome
offering of the sod adopts new name
and comes forth with an additional
sobriquet which makes 1t almost I'M
recognizable to its old acquaintance.

call the same fruit ground nut, while
it is. variously known elsewhere as
