The Swiss Method.

Perhaps the most roted "de-
scriptive geographical writer of
the day is Frank G. Carpenter.
He has travelled in almost every
country of the globe and written
more or less concerning it. His
latest letter is on Switzerland
and it is interesting to read what
he says of the railroads of that
country. Oce only has to get a
glance at it to notice the good
that would result from govern
ment ownership. The following
is what he says:
I do not know that the rail-
roads of Switzerland could be &C
quired by a trust, but they are
certainly pl ofitabie. In 1900 they
paid a net profit of over $11,OOO,-
900, and their travel is jncreas-
ing every year. Only four years
ago the government decided to
buy them, and the transfer of
the lines from private parties to
the state is now under way. The
roads, including the tramways,
have a length of about $500 miles
and there r many track and ca
bic lines running up the sides OF
the mountains to give access to
the beautiful views that Mark
Twain says, every Alp has now
a ladder up its back like a pair of
suspender."
One of the incest things of the
government railway system is
its general season tichets or
passes, which include all Swift
zerland. The railroad. companies
will sell you a ticket for two
weeks, a month, a quarter or a
year which you can use for that
time on all the railroads and
steamboats, of Switzerland. The
tickets are sold at fixed prices,
and have to be ordered at least
two hours before leaving time.
You must furnish an unmounted
photograph of yourself, which is
pasted on the ticket.
A two weeks ticket over all the
Swiss roads costs, according to
class, from $3.50 to SIP. and a
monthly ticket from $40 to $40.
If you travel third class the price
is $40; second class $14, or first
class $50, For three months the
rates are $24, $34 and S48, and
for the year, 500, $84 and 1920
This means that for $3.50 you
could start in on January 1st and
keep travelling day and night On
trains and steam boats, with the
very best accommodations, until
December 81, without extra cost.
Sucn tickets are sold to anyone
who asks for them.-Farmer's
Advocate.

ELKs' FIELD DAY.
Herd of Horn Wearers Will Make
 Everybody Happy on August r.


 The Elks in the north, east, south and west of New England have sent a greeting to the Waterbury members that they are preparing to storm this city on Thursday, August ', when the field day of the local lodge is given at the Driving park and they send word in advance so that the Waterbury members can be prepared to be taken by storm. All the defenses have been repaired and when the visitors do arr rive they will be given a red hot well come. The people of this city who have never witnessed an Elks' field day and who have never attended one of their big outings will certainly be given treat on this occasion for it is not money the lodge is aftsr, but q big day of amusement for all who have been the friends of the lodge in the past. There will be some of the fastest sprinting ever seen on cin- der path and the distance racing will be on level with the sprinting. There will be dancing day and night and a big parade at 1 o'clock. At night besides the dancing there will be one of the grandest displays of fire works ever attempted in any city in New. Eng1and ( The trolley company has sent for more new cars and it is expected the biggest crowd that ever attended an outing at the Driving park will be present.

HE WANTED TO DIE.
Well Known Bethlehem Farmer shoots
 Himself With a Skeleton Rifle.


 A sad death indeed was that Of Mer- ritt GrisWold. a middle aged farmer, living in the western part of the town on what is known as Carmel Hill, who committed suicide Thursday afternoon by shooting himself in the temple with 32-caliber skeleton rifle. The family were away from home that afternoon, except q younger sister, who was left at home to look after the deceased. Griswold who had been suffering from melancholia and dependency made sev, eral unsuccessful attempts on his life by taking paris green and laudanum, was about the house as usual, when his sister was startled by something up- stairs, which she supposed might be a window falling, and paid no attention to it.
 A half hour later she went up stairs and found the lifg.ass body of her brother with the rifle lying close beside him.
 Sometime since Griswold'ss wife brought suit for divorce against him and it is thought that this, with more recent troubles, preyed upon his all ready shattered mind, until in a tenn porary fit Of despondency he committed the rash act.
 Besides a wife and daughter, he leaves an aged mother, with whom he lived, and several brothers and sisters
 Some years ago he lived with his family at the center of the town and was employed as janitor of the Congre- gational church.

A New Armor Plate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.--The navy people hope to offset the recent devel- opment in high explosives and armor piercing projectiles by the army through considerable improvement in the resisting power of the armor plat ing of battleship. Lieutenant Cle- land Davis, attached to the naval ord, nance bureau, has produced an arInor plate, which was recently tested at the proving grounds at Bethlehem, Pa.s and the results encouraged the naval officials here to believe that the armor plate has again overtaken the gun in the never ending struggle for suprema- cy. This plate is obtained by novel process, carbon being driven directly into the surface of the hot plate by an intensely powerful current of electrici> ty, the result being face as smooth as glass and of any thickness desired, supported by a tough back, which, it is claimed, cannot be cracked. The depth of the hardening is regulated by the length of time the current playa upon the plate. ~d

--~-------~--~--------------~-- sfjf. THE POPE,s FRiAk PLAN.
Obnoxious Orders mt Manila to Be
 Removed Quietly.

Removed Quietly.
 ROME, Aug. 2.--According to state ments obtained from reliable sources, it is the intention of the Vatican that the friars of the Augustinian Domini- cnn, Franciscan and Recolleto orders now in Manila, who number about 450 men, should leave there in small num- bers at different times, so that when, the moment comes to resume negotia- tions between Governor Taft and the apostolic delegation all the friars will have left the archipelago in such a way that the friar question will have resolved itself without the necessity of further discussion.
 The foregoing plan Is interpreted as q late but significant recognition by the Vatican that Secretary of War Roots first propositions made to the Vatican through Governor Taft were the most liberal that could be devised for the settlement of the question.
 The great influence of the religious orders in Rome must be reckoned with, however, should they think it to their interests to resist these measures. From present indications this would seem not to be so, as the general of the Augustinians will soon leave for the United States to choose American Aus gustinians to replace the Spanish mems bers of that order now at Manila.

NEAR RIOT ON THE CELTIC.
Priests Intervention Stops Fight Be-
 tween Irish and Welsh.

New York, August 2--An incipient riot among the 800 or more passengers on the big White Star liner Celtic was quelled on Sunday afternoon by the intermediation of Father M Mea- gher of Ridgewood, Pa. Among the third class passengers were three re- llglous factions--a party of Salvation Army people who held services ire quently every day; Welsh choir with their adherents, and large number of Irish Roman Catholics. The last nam ed formed the greater number of steerage passengers.
 On Sunday, when in mid-ocean the Irish arranged to hold services at 8 o'clock ill the afternoon. The Saliva each held two services ill the morning. At 3 D. m. Father Fitzgerald of Brook lyn, officiated for the Irish services, and when they were finished the peo- pie of that nationality grouped them selves on the deck for merry making. Taey had barely got under way with a series of national dances to the ac- compartment of accordeon and fiddle when the Welch choir appeared on the scene and tried to take possession of the deck to hold another service. The Irish protested The Welsh choir started in their hymn, while their ad- herents tried to, clear the Irish dancers off the deck
 Meanwhile the second cabin pas sengers, grouped on the deck above, attracted by the singing, set up shouts of approval for the Welsh, not under standing the nature of the controversy going on below. Encouraged by this seeming backing, the Welch cohorts started in to drive the Irish daScers from the deck by force. The latter far outnumbered the Welshmen, and were on the point of turning the scene into q Donnybrook fair, when Father Meagher's attention was called to the disturbance. He went down to the steerage deek and immediately upon his uplifting his hand, the Irish barred their heads and stopped fighting to lis ten to his decision. Father Mcagher heard the stories of both sides, and then said to his countrymen:
 Il believe that you have every right to use the deck at this time for your merrymaking, but as a favor to me, will you please retire, and let the Welshmen hold their services"
 There was no further trouble.

MORGAN TO RETIREs
Great Financier Reported To Be In
 Failing Health.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug 2.-A New York dispatch received here says:
 wal street is discussing a rumor that J. Pierpont Morgan is to retire from the management of the vast in- terests in his hands and that formal announcement of his retirement will be made when he returns from Europe. Financiers say that private informa- ton regarding Morgan's health give much color to the rumor.
 "So definite is the story that it gives the name of George W. Perkins as the man who is to succeed Morgan in di- recting the affairs of the million and billion dollar aggregations controlled by the big banker"
 Morgan's continued stay in Europe and his repeated visits to famous phy- sicians and health resorts all lend color to the story of failing health The tre- mendous strain of recent years has worn out the great trust promoter, and he finds himself at point where fuz- ther work is impossible. 1t is said that Mir. Morgan will retain an advisory connection.
 George w. Perkins, who is named as the future king of the street, has been Morgan's right hand man for two years. He is but forty years old and has spent nearly all of these years in the life insurance business. He began in Cleveland ten years ago.
 Two years ago he was paid salary of $300,O00 per year to become Nor gan's right hand man. He is chairman of the finance committee of the steel trust. He planned the Northwestern Securities company, settled the North ern Pacific war; conducted the Louis vile and Nashville purchase and is the prime mover in the Southern Securities company. Xxi
