.sThe very first feature that attracts Ina attention of the European visitor is the enormous difference in the totai area of the coal fields of America ana Great Britain. namely 222,500 and E. GOO square miles respectively, and also the fact that nearly all of the Brltlsn ones have been worked for so very much longer a period" Thus writes correspondent in the New England En- cheering Magazine. 'The result ol this is that most of the thick seams and those nearest the surface nave been worked out. and while ten-foot and twelve-foot seams are not un- known, nevertheless they are excep- tjonaI and seams as small as twelve and fifteen inches are being worked. Ill America, on the other hand, the coal fields are practically untouched Al present only the thick and upper seams are being worked, and these to a large extent witi perhaps little thought TOT future generations of mining en gineers. Another very great difference between the coal fields of the two countries is that in Great Britain faults are frequent and great, and the coal IS found in various parts at almost all conceivable angles. In the Lancashire coal field, TOT example, the seams dlp IT to B per cent. In America, on the other hand, I did not meet with sin gle instance of fault, and only with 6ne man who said he had friend who had seen one, while the greatest dip l met with was about , per cent.

Mayor Dennis Mulvihill of Bridge port seems to have backbone enough to go on doing what he thinks is right despite the protests of the men who turned to the democratic party for the time being in order to down their enc mics. Republicans who help democrats to win in municipal or national cleo tions cannot expect to have things run according to their ideas. It would be against all the principles of demo- cratic form of government to do so. Mayor Mulyihill is democrat, and the sooner the sore heads of the republican party of Bridgeport who f1ocked to his banner find this out the better it will be for themselves and for the demo- cratic administration which they are trying to hamper.

 A recent legacy of $5,OOo to the divinity school of Yale university for the s'poor student" fund brings out the fact that scholarship could be given to every student in the school. such a surplus of money is there in this fund, and yet money is much needed in oth- CT directions.
 The greatest number of applicants in the history Of Columbia university for the degree of doctor of philosophy is A, that many having made appli- cation this year. At the commence ment of 1901 27 Ph. Ds. were granted. Three of this years candidates were women and one. a Japanese woman. The candidates seem to have over looked literary themes for subjects of theses and to have directed their at tention to education and psychology.
 Berlin and Leipsic universities will celebrate in 1909 centennial anniyer- saries. Berlin being 100 years old and Leipsfc 500 years of age. Berlin is the youngest of the universities of Germany, with the excep ton Of Bonn, and Leipsic, with the exception of Heidelberg, is the oldest. Two thou sand German students left Prague in 14oo and founded the University of Leipsic, and Berlin calne into existenc during the troublous times Of Ma poleon. Both universities are already beginning to make prepara tons for the coming events, which will no doubt outrank anything of the kind that has yet been held.

The executive committee of the dem- ocratic congressional committee held q secret session in Washington last week, at which Chairman Ben T. Ca ble and Judson Harmon of Cincinnati were present. It is learned from reli- able sources that committee of sev- en was appointed to put in form the conclusion of the committee that the coming campaign should be made on the ground that the republicans are fostering the trusts and are unwilling to revise the tariff along lines which will afford relief to the consumers at the expense of the capitalists and trusts. The committee of seven will report to a caucus of the democratic members of the house and if their recommendations receive the approval of the caucus active work wilL be be- gun at once. It was determined to locate the general headquarters at Washington with Representative Griggs in charge, while the western headquarters will be located at Chi caga with Mir Cable in charge. The full congressional committee met the same evening and adopted resolution which is a practical endorsement of the Hansbrough Newlands irrigation bill.

Dis interring the bloody shirt" which he had declared at Charleston was bur jed for all time, he told his hearers, many of them veterans of the civil war, that the opponents of imperial ism had called Grant ''the butcher" and had referred to them as s'Lincoln's hirelings." Mir Rooseyelt's whole speech was calculated to stir up the bitterest kind of sectional feeling and party strife and was one of the most serious violations of good sense and good taste ever perpetrated in Dec oration day oration.

In the Cuban Navy Was Bought for Five Dollar Bill

In the Cuban Navy Was Bought for {
 Five Dollar Bill.
 While there is q good deal of tall these days about Cuba,'' said the mar 1 who likes to converse, ssit should no1 be forgotten that the man who was first to float the Cuban flag over al armed deck is in the United States and l IS not blOyiating about it, either He Is Colonel Prentiss Ingrahain, author traveller. soldier, sailor and a lot of other things. In the summer of 1869 Colonel Ingraham bought, in New York city, for the large sum of $5, the steamer Hornet, which had once been the Lady Sterling, a blockade runner captured by the United States government and made sdispatch boat for the service of President Lin coin. A wealthy Cuban living in New York had bought her from the gov ernment, and he sold her to Colonel Ingraham for $5 because he wanted to.
 Tn October of 1869 she cleared from Philadelphia for Liverpool and put in at Halifax under stress of weather, or so it was stated. There she was met by Admiral Edward Higgins, an ex- Confederate officer, and formerly of the United States navy.
 'She left Halifax in such a hurry that she was fired on from the forts, but got away all right, making the run to Cape Sable, 6O miles, in three hours. Off Martha's Vineyard the ship was met by several small vessels carrying arms and men and these were taken on board, and the Hornet became a fully equipped vessel of war, having 26 officers, 300 men and nine guns, one 10u-pound bow chaser, two 6O-pounderS, four 30-pounders and two 24-pounders. Once at sea with this equipment Colonel Ingraham, who had been in command of her since her purchase, turned her over to Admiral Higgins and the officers received their commission, Colonel Ingraham becom- ing commandant of marines, her name was changed to the Cuba, and Colonel Ingraham, With his own hands, raised the Cuban flag over her, being the first Cuban flag ever to go up over an arm ed deck of Cuban vessel, and, by the way, there has not yet been an- other one.
 Not long after this, month or so, the Cuba was caught in hurricane and had to put in at Wilmington, N. C., for coal. She was suspected by the authorities at Wilmington, and though every effort was made to get away before she could be searched it was impossible, as her engines had been uncoupled for repairs, and She was captured. Admiral Higgins sur rendered her to Colonel Frank of the United States army, but refused to pull down his flag until he had been tried and the ship was finally confis- cated. The trial lasted a month and resulted in the acquittal of Higgins and 1ngraham; the other officers were sent to Washington under bond, and released later, and the men were paid off and discharged. The Cuba, however, was held and sent to New York, under command of Captain Maffitt formerly of the famous Con- federate priyateer Florida, and she was later taken to Baltimore, where she was left to rot. I understand she is lying ill the mud down there now, and if she is the Cubans ought to resurrect her and take her home. Col onel Ingraham is now living in New York city."-Chicago nter-Ocean.

By the proposed new constitution of Connecticut, in the small towns of South Windsor, Cromwell, North Ha- ven, Plainville, Brooklyn, Montville, Essex, Canton. Plymouth, Waterford. New Canaan, Windsor Locks and Wa tertown, 33, ,156 people gain 13 repre- sentatives, while 34.92S people lose 9 representatives in the following towns: Ashford, Barkhamsted, Canterbuury, Cheshire, Colchester, Cornwall, Gov entry, Durham, Goshen, Granby, Har- winton, Hebron, Lebanon, Mansfield. Norfolk, North Stonington. Pomfret, Bedding, Saybrook, sharon, Somers, Holland. Washington, Wilmington and Woodbury, which will then give to the smaller number of 33, 156 people one more representative than to the larger number of 34.92S people. In the towns of South Windsor, Cromwell. North Haven. Plainville and Brooklyn 10,T56 people gain , representatives, while 1,055 people lose representa- tives in the towns of Cheshire, Colches- ter, Colebrook, Hartland Killingworth, Lyme, sharon. Union anu Woodbury, the smaller number of people getting the larger number of representatives. So far as the smaller towns which lose representatives are concerned, this seems like jumping out of the cheese to be caught by the weasel.

STORY OF A GRANDDAUGHTER
 Miss Lima Webber, daughter of the late United States senator John NJ Palmer, was recently q guest at a Washington dance, where she met a young man whose contempt for all things western was more apparent than real. He had spent three months Tn Chicago and thought he knew it all To Miss Webber this over confident youth especially addressed himself throughout the early part of the even. Ing. He discovered that the young woman came from Illinois. which state he affected to depreciate.
 Isn't it a frightful placer. he asked: T spent some time in Cbicago last summer running newspaper. Horrible place! Do you know many people there?v
 Miss Webber mentioned the family or a we'll known judge
 Impossible, aren't they?, continued tne youth. Neither mother nor daughter have any education or breed Ing In fact I only met one woman there who was polished enough to be feceiVed into eastern society,"
 indeed returned Miss Webber. and who. was that?''
 Mrs Potter Palmer"
 Miss Webbers eyes looked a, polite surprise, as she remarked, "Oh, did you meet her ?s-and the pronouus were distlnctl stnd painfully VI enapha- s1zed--y you Interviewed her for your paper I suppose" x 7 -s7< ..s

Those democrats who have enter tained a certain admiration for the rugged manliness of which they con- ceived the president to be possessed, says correspondent. received a severe shock when they heard, or read, the speech which MT Roosevelt saw fit to deliver at the national cemetery at Arlington on Memorial day. Not con- tent with attempting to yindicate the record of American soldiers in the Philippines, MT Roosevelt took occa- sion to belittle his dignity and indulge in the cheapest sort of 1demagogism by referring to the lynchings which have occurred in this country and charging those who condemn torture and other violations of the laws of civilized warfare in the Philippines

It is said that New York's financial interests are worrying about the possi- ble results of the illness or death of J. Pierpont Morgan. It is a pity that one man can acquire such power that the financial world has a chill when think ing of the mere possibility of his death. New Haven Union.
 Those Moodus noises, after silence of five years, are heard again. They have been heard periodically since the time of the Indians. who called Mount Tom '.NIachi-Moodus" or sthe place of noise" It seems strange that such noises are heard nowhere in the Con- necticut valley save in the Moodus country. Some scientists have called the noises little earthquakes and all sorts of theories have been promul- gated during the past 25O years, but none of them seem to answer the facts. It is strange that scientists do not make as thorough an investigation as possible of the mysterious knockings.- Bridgeport Post.
 With the close of the war in South Africa the independence of two na- tions will cease; the Englishmen say that the civil liberties of the people will begin, that equal rights under the law will be inaugurated in a country where foreigners had no rights the na- tive-born were bound to respect. How ever this may be, it is impossible not to regard the extinction of two nations of our own stock and religion without regret. Right or wrong, they were in- dependent, and their citizens have made desperate fight to retain inde- pendence. Courage and sacrifice for one's country command respect. The world will accord it to the Boer.-Hart- ford Times.
