DO GOOD-IT PAYS.

a Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds some Of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and leRd helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it." Most men appre-
ciate kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There
are persons in this community who
might truthfully say: MY good
friend cheer up. "A few doses of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid
you of your cold, and there is no dan
ger whatever of pneumonia when
you use that medicine. 1t always
cures. I know it for it has helped me

COAL I'M THE ARCTICS.
Large Outcroppings OF the Fuel Have
Reen Found ON the Coast of
spitxbergens

The Norwegians are turning their at
tention to the large and promising coal
fields on the southwest coast of Spitz-
bergen. For several years past their
fishermen, while in these coastal wa
tiers. have observed the outcrops of
coal. Their stories aroused interest
at home and the coal fields were exam
ined as possible source of profit.
Several companies have been formed
to carry on coal mining in these new
fields. and there is much confidence in
Norway that the new Arctic enterprise
will be profitable, states the New York
Sun.
Consul Nelson writes from Bergen
that the coal of Spitzbergen is finely
adapted for the manufacture of gas.
The fuel burns with a high flame and
is extremely combustible. Although
Spitzbergen is in the Arctic regions,
coal may be mined there to consider
able advantage. In the first place it
has been found that no large capital
is required to start the work, as is the
case in civilized countries. There is
no costly ground. to buy, no difficult
foundations to build in the way of
shafts, and as the land is not inhabit-
ed there are no property considera-
tions to interfere. Transportation from
the mines to the ships will be mex
pensive, the situation Of the mines IA
voring the towage by rope of rail
road cars loaded at the mines.
Considerable work has already been
done. The mining engineers on the
ground give their opinion that the
cost Of the coal will not exceed $2.4O
per ton. They say that with force
Of so workmen, $4,000 tons may be
taken out annually. The coal can be
transported only in the summer, but
the works may be kept going the year
round.

large quantities, many miles north Of
the Arctic circle. The only railroad
now existing in the Arctic regions car.

TRAGEDY OF OF THE SEA.
Mig &xAa8yosses SNooped Down ON
Capt. Beyer and Literally Tore
Him to Pieces.

sslt was a drama of the sea-" said
Mate Paul Hildebrand, Of the Ger
man bark Germania, to a New York
World reporter, referring to the
death of the former master of the
sturdy metal vessel which had ar
rived at pier II, East river, at the
foot Of Old slip.
1t was, indeed, drama, a trag-
edy Of the most narrowing kind, and
the most awful story of the deep
that ever fell to my experience, re-
peated the present commander OF
the craft, Capt. Theodore Hulke.
While the master himself refused to
talk about the death Of Capt. Paul Bey-
II, Of Vegesack, near Bremen, where
a widow and three children survive
him, an able seaman named Carl
Cowl, who had all the facts recorded,
gave the details.
The Germania was bound from New
Castle for Anterogasta, and, when
six days off the Australian coast and
500 miles away, Capt. Boyer jumped
into the weather rigging to teach an
apprentice how to knot the main
sheet to the backstay.
1.-THE captain leaned far out, for.
getting that he held a piece of rot

of gasket broke, and the old man fell
backward into the waves. Curious.
" while the captain fell overheard
in clear weather, fog settled down il
a few minutes.
He was an excellent swimmer
capable, as he boosted, Of keeping
himself afioat for three hours. He
was seen treading water, the upper
half of his body above the surface
and he was still smoking his pipe.
"Then noisy cloud of about 20t
albatrosses, ravenous with hunger
swooped down upon Capt. Boyer, and
it is supposed, killed him with thei1
long, hooked beaks.
se.The immense birds made dis1na
noise, note Of triumph, as the,
tapped their wings and fell upo1
their prey.
ssJust then the fog closed in, AMI
the captain was seen no more. TIL,

Criticism Of One OF George
Siler's Recent Decisions.

His Critics Say That Decisions should
Be Given in the Ring and Not Two
or Three Days After-Twin Sulli-
van Recipient Of Two More Cha1-
lenges.
Referees should give their decisions
In the ring and not outside it" says
the Buffalo Times. 1T was a bad
piece of business on George Siler's
part to wait day or so before declar-
ing Frank Childs the winner Of his
bout with Joe Walcott at Chicago.
When man quits in the ring his OPP
ponent is entitled to the decision. In
the bout between Walcott and Childs
Walcott quit cold turkey after get
ting beating from man of his own
color, claiming that he had broken his
arm. Walcott did not break anything
but faith with the public, and for
that reason Childs should have been
given the decision in the first place.
Broken arms do not count in the prize
ring; that's all in the business. Game
ness is one of the redeeming features
OF the sport. Jack Dempsey fought
Bob Fitzsfmmons at New Orleans Is
rounds with the spectators imploring
MIN to leave the ring on account Of
MS terribly battered anatomy. He
refused to quit, and died a hero years
after because of his gallant act.

test, all bets off. Forty-eight hours
after he gave the decision to Childs,
and WalcOtfs share of the purse.

good ball. The line did not charge
with sufficient force. however, and the

With Hartford Team.
For the next two days the local High
school team will indulge in the hardest
kind of practice in anticipation OF
grueling contest with the Hartford
High school team on Saturday. That
Hartford has a very strong team IS an
admitted fact. That she desires to ad-
minister a bad defeat to Waterbury
cannot be doubted. But the local team
is just as DESTROYS Of winning this
game and crowning the seasons work
with a great victory over the Hartford
High school team, the winner OF the
Trinity cup last year. Waterbury won
the Yale cup last year. So Saturday s
game will be battle Of the cham
pions.
The Waterbury High school foot
ball team went to Naugatuck yesterday
and played the Naugatuck High school
team. The latter team was no match
for the local boys. who simply ran up
a score Of 50 to O.. The Naugatucks
were much lighter than the locals, who
had no trouble therefore in making
big gains through the line. Two min
utes after the play began Waterbury
had scored touchdown. The score

rejection by the Danish landsthing OF
the treaty providing for the sale Of the
Danish West Indies to the United
States has been received quietly in St.
Thomas, and up to the present time
there has been no popular expression Of
feeling or demonstrations. A large sec
ton Of the population Of the islands is
greatly disappointed at the reception of
the news, believing that it's hopes of
prosperity have been shattered. A
smaller but stronger section of the is
landers is jubilant and hopes for re
neWal of prosperity under the old flag.

The Danish Landsthing Votes
Against Treaty Ratification.
POPULAR SENTIMENT FAyORS IT.


COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct %.
The landsthing has rejected the sec
ond reading of the bill providing for
the ratification Of the treaty between
Denmark and the United States in re-
gard to the cession Of the Danish West
Indies to the latter country. The vote
stood 80 to 80, a tie. The announce
ment caused the greatest excitement
in the house and demonstrations on
the part Of the spectators in the build
ing
The predominant sentiment through
out Denmark is undoubtedly prosale,
and the rejection Of the treaty is at
tributed chiefly to a domestic political
effort to embarrass the government
and bring about the resignation OF the
ministry. The question Of the sale OF
the islands may not remain dead for
any length of time The inability OF
the rigsdag to agree on policy for
lettering the conditions Of the islands
is expected to be factor in again
forcing the sale question to an issue. 1
The result Of the vote was doubtful
until the last moment. One member
had not taken definite stand, and It
was uncertain whether two sick mem
bers would be able to attend
The ages Of these men, Thygeson
and Raben, are ninety-seven and

had been expected to die for several
weeks past. They were both bed
ridden at their homes, 80 miles from
Copenhagen, but they were brought to
the city. Prominent antisale political
/ leaders were sent to transport them
here. The sufferers, who were accom-
/ panied by physicians, were carried
into saloon car, which was rolled
on to a ferryboat, on which it crossed
from Jutland. On their arrival at
Copenhagen they were met by leading
antisalers and were driven in car
riages to hotel. There the two old
men were guarded and nursed over
night and were eventually carried to
their chairs in the landsthing hall an
