"Don'' Warner and his bunch of ad- mirers are having it all their own way in the constitutional convention, and incidentally they are squaring things with the machine that knocked them out in the last election. The editor of the Hartford Courant came in for a share of the Salisbury mans wrath yesterday. Taking everything into consideration, this is one of the pret- tiest fights the republicans ever en- gagged in, and if the democrats do not take advantage of it then the demo- cratic party might as well give up the ghost. The g. 0. p. fellows are making it even warmer than it was during the gubernatorial campaign of 1900, and everybody admits that was pretty hot from republican standpoint. With T presiding officer in favor of town rep and the convention three to one of the same mind, it seems like waste of time to fool away much more time in Hartford. The conven- tion might have done worse than adopted Delegate Davenport's resolu- tlon. It is q little early for spring planting, perhaps, but then there are a few odd jobs to be done that would keep the one-representative-to fellows busy for while.

HOW NATIONS SLEEP.

Considering that we all spend on an average one-third of our whole lives in bed. 1t is not wonderful that a good deal of care, expense and trouble are expended on our sleeping places. In this country the unhealthy feather bed
 is being driven out by the healthier mattress, which also rules in this coun- try. French beds are noted for their hardness; and German beds are so ri diculously short that foreign visitors are often much too big for them. Many Norwegian beds are made to pull out from receSseS. The hammock rules in South and Central America The In dians of Guiana plait most beautiful hammocks out of grass which they dye prettily. Japanese lie on mating laid on the floor, with a stiff. uncomfort- able wooden head rest. It would take an Englishman years to get accustom- ed to such bed of torture. The Chi nese use low bedsteads. often elabo- rately carved. But their only mat tresses and coyerlets are made of mat ting. In winter they put on heavy clothes wadded with cotton. in which
 they sleep. Of all people the easiest to suit in the way of sleeping quarters are negroes, who like a wild animal can curl up anywhere.-Health.

cHAUNCEY oLCoTTs NAME.


 After matinee performance, on luis way to his hotel, Chauncey O1cott took vacant seat i'll Sixth avenue sur- face car alongside bright little eel- low about 10 years of age. When the conductor asked the boy for his fare. a look of despair came into his face and he blubbered out:
 live lost my five cents.'
 Well, you'll have to get off," said the conductor.
 Hold on!" said Olcott. Heres q nickel. Let the little fellow remain. !" As the conductor moved away the boy, turning to Mir Olcott, said: Twill you tell me your name, sir? I want to send you the five. cents. sir"
 "Oh, you needn't bother about that, 7 replied MT Olcott.
 'Oh, you must tell me, sir. must pay you back
 Just then the car reached Twenty third street, and MT Olcott, to humor the boy, and to see if he would return the money, gave him his card. The following Saturday, after the matinee, as MT Olcott came out of the stage door, q boy approached him. He rec ognized his street. acquaintance.
 Hello! What about that five cents you were going to return to me?''
 T haven't had five cents since then, sir I wrote Pass two over your name, and they let me and Billy in on it. 1t was a bully show" ."--New York Times.

 The Sin Wan Pao, a paper in Picking, says that the Chinese ought not to worry over the fortified legations, but that 'sour greatest cause for anxiety is our ignorant populace. Outside woes are the result of internal disorders, so the important point is the education and employment of the people. Hence we welcome the establishment of in- dustrial, agricultural and commercial schools. This is attacking the evil in the right way; not by the execution CTS axe, nor by weak and aimless pity, but by removing the root"
 The state entomologist of New Jer- sey has asked for an appropriation of $1O,O00 to carry on the war of exter- imitation of the mosquito. Strange as it may seem, there are number of legislators who are not in favor of re- moving the cause of New Jerseys un- enviabIe reputation among the states, and one of the defenders of the pest recalled that history says that the mosquito drove General Howe out of New Jersey in Revolutionary days, thus making possible Washington's s signal victory at-Trenton.

THE SAME RAGE.

To-day we are the same race, with the same impulse, the same power and, because there is no longer q frontier to absorb our overplus of energy, because there is no longer a wilderness to con quer and because we still must march, still must conquer, we remember the old days when our ancestors before us found the outlet for their activity checked and, rebounding, turned their faces eastward, and went down to in- wade the old world So we. No sooner have we found that. our path to the westward has ended than, reacting eastward, we are at the old world again, marching against it, invading it, deyotlng our overplus of energy 10 it's subjugation
 But though we are the same race. with the same impulses. the same blood-instincts as the old sian marsh people, we are now come into q changed time, and the great world of our century is no longer war but trade
 Or if you choose it is only diffey- ent word for the same race character istic. The desire for conquest say what you will-was as big in t3e breast of the most fervid of the cru SelaCls sao II lS llllS, very udy III Ino most peacefully disposed of American manufacturers. Had the Lion-Heact- ed Richard lived to-day hewould have become leading representative of the Amalgamated Steel companies and doubt not for one moment that he would have underbid his Manchester rivals in the matter of bridge girders. Had Andrew Carnegie been alive nt the time of the preachings of Peter the Hermit he would have raised com. pany of gens-d'armes sooner than all of his brothers -in-arms, would nave equipped his men better and more f. fectively, would have been first on. the ground before Jerusalem, would have built the most ingenious siege engine and have hurled the first cask of Greek fire over the walls.-F'rank Norris in Tie Worlds Work

The Paris treaty negotiated at the close of the Spanish war, gave to the United States all of Spain's West In dies possessions except Cuba. Now the question arises as to whether the Isle of Pines, south of Cuba, belongs to this country or not. The inhabitants of the island have petitioned to be put formally under the sovereignty of the United States, while the Cubans claim the island as part of their country, it being simply contiguous island whose nearness to the Cuban coast makes it reasonably appertain to the larger island. It is probable that we will re tain it as a United States possession.

The smallpox epidemic in London shows an alarming increase. and as a result the whole royal family has been vaccinated. King Edward is now going about with his arm in a sling, and the queen was rendered quite ill after the inoculation. Lord Roseberry and other leading diplomats have fol lowed the sovereign's example, and, in deed, the whole episode is said to be an example to make the common peo- pie submit to vaccination in spite of prejudice that exists against it. It is remarkable coincidence that the present outbreak coincides with that of the coronation year of 1888.

Another Murder Mystery.

The police are not making satisfactory
progress in their search for the man VINO
stabbed Mrs Jordan to death the other
night in Anacostia. Several suspected per-
sons have been arrested and upon examina-
ton have proved to the satisfaction OF the
authorities that they could not have been
on the scene of the crime. The case Is yet
fresh enough, however, to warrant the hope
that there will be arrest leading to
positive disclosures of identity and to pun
ishment. The Dennis case is of too recent
occurrence to permit the public to rest easy
without some positive progress in the solu-
ton of this latest mystery. 1t would be I'M
fortunate if public confidence in the local
detective force were shaken by a series Of
unsolved crimes. There are now two of
record within ten years. These are the kill
Ing of Shoemaker Hall and the murder of
Mrs. Dennis. In neither case were there
eye witnesses to the tragedy. In the case
OF Elsie Kreglo, who was so foully slain a
rev years ago, the criminal was easily
tracked, and so with number of atrocious
crimes which have left only slight trail
OF the perpetrator. The prompt solution of
the Jordan murder mystery is demanded
py every consideration not alone of profess
slohai pride, but of public security as well.
