CAUSE OF THE BLUES.

Probably in two cases out of three the blues are caused by one's physical state. If a man has overworked, or has been under any unusual strain or excitement, or has worried q great deal, or has been for while in | state of joy and elation-all of which require an expenditure of energy he is very likely to have the blues, and to be in low spirits by way of reaction. The body is a machine which can do a cer. tain amount of work and no more. If it does a great deal to-day it must do less tomorrow, and thereby make I'D for to-day's eXtravagance. If a man takes one glass of whiskey the slight stimulus that he feels will be followed, as night follows day, by an exactly equivalent sinking of the spirits. IT he has been thoroughly and gavIy drunk his recovery will be attended by corresponding melancholia and ais- cry. When a man has the blues he ought to consider that he :s merely an exponent of one of natures laws. and that he has no right to narass others with complaints Some men are not pleased unless they communicate their unpleasant moods to all. about them. They become sulky and cross with their wives and children, and they throw a gloom over their household. Such conduct is very selfish. A man in the blues ought to take some pills and good long walk all alone or with companion of steadfast cheerfulness. Lucky it is for him he has a wife w.lo will not be downcast, and who can rs- store him to cheerfulness without spoil ing him.-San Francisco Bulletin.

The merging of the steamship lines leads a writer in New York paper to a discussion of the consolidation of the railroads of the country which are con- trolled by five men. The steamship combine is a result of the railroad com bination, which this writer says has followed the passing of the interstate commerce law. That law oyershot the mark at several points, and lone was in prohibiting pooling, instead of plac- ing it under regulation to see that the public was not injured by temporary combinations of that sort. Even be- fore that time there had been dis position to bring railroads under the unifying control of large corporations; but in a great majority of eases this had been resisted by the management of the smaller roads, who represented

Malcolm Ford yesterday killed his
 then placed the pistol to his own breast and shot himself dead. The former was a well known athlete, While the brother he shot was a poet and writer of more than ordinary merit One was as well and favorably known, a few years ago, as the other, and perhaps circle of admiring friends. His Tame as an athlete was known far and wide, for he held many championship medals. He loved the sport and gave up every thing else for it. The father of these men, who was wealthy, could see no good in his boy, and when he died he disinherited him, leaving his two nni1- lion fortune to the other children. Were he alive to-day and could see his two boys lying dead side by side and waiting to be buried in the same plot, he might perhaps change his mind had he to do it over again. The athlete felt that he was as good as the novel, ist; he felt that he was entitled to some of the family wealth. Unable to long CT endure the idea Of living withour means, while his brother had plenty, he performed the double killing. It would have been better had that father given this son his share. Perhaps lie would have squandered 1t, and then again perhaps he might have placed it where it would be source of income. At any rate if he got his share and spent it he would not have become in- sane over the idea that his brother had what belonged rightfully to him. There should be great and good reasons for any father to disinherit his child

local interests, and who believed that solidation. But the new law gave these smaller roads into the. power of
 the greater by forbidding any kind of arrangements to limit competition. The only way left to put a stop to it was consolidation, and there set i'll q period of railroad combines such as We never
 had before. We have aoout 1S5,00o
 miles of railroads in this country, ard of this all but about 10000 miles is
 under control of five companies or com
 binations. These are the Morgan-Hill system, 43,OO0 miles; Hartman system, 21,000; Vanderbilt system, 19,500; Gould system, 160O0; Pennsylvania railroad system, 10000. And these em- brace the most important lines ill the country, the rest being for the most part secondary, and remote from the great routes of travel and traffic. Five men, representing these i've combina- tions, can dictate rates for every bit of transportation which crosses the lines between two states, as most of our traffic does. And while tne com binations fight hard to prevent each other from further extension, yet with in that which is achieved they soon come to agreements as to rates of fare and freight. Philadelphia thought it would put an end to unfair discrimina- tions on the part of the Pennsylvania railroad when the Reading forced it's way to New York, and when the Baiti- more and Ohio secured an entrance into the city. But it soon found that crows do not pick out each others eyes and that rates of charge are settled in quiet conferences, to which the public is not invited.'

Sir William H. Preece, formerly head of the British bureau of tele- graphs in the British postoffice depart ment. in an address before the Society of Arts in London recently advocated the government control of the tele- phone business as well as that of the mail and telegraph. Another inter esting feature of his address is the statement that in the matter of ''elec- tric lighting the potentiality of cheap ness in our municipalities was be- yond the dreams of the economist. " He cites the instance of Bradford, England, where electric light is SUD- piled by the municipality at about two and one-fifths cents per unit, which is equivalent to gas at fourteen and one third cents a thousand feet, and says there is no reason why the cost should not be reduced to one-half a cent per unit. People in American cities get ting electric light at these figures would think the millennium was close at hand.

FORGOT THE ESSENTIAL WORD.

A young Englishman who is em ployed in the office of the West Ent manufacturing company in Bridgeport is maintaining the reputation of his countrymen for forgetting at the crit ical moment the essential word in a bright remark.
 A few days ago he was in New York riding on trolley car with two young women friends. One was stand ing beside him and the other was seat ed. The car started suddenly and the one who was standing involuntarily sat down in the lap of the other.

A THRILLING SPECTACLE.

The only real battle, on land. in the Spanish-American war was that fought at San Juan Hill. It was, in It's way, as potent as the naval vic tories at Santiago and Manila in smashing Spanish pretence. Forum ately it was well adapted for spectac- ular reproduction--by force of suf- ficient magnitude so for service as an object lesson in martial achieve ment. Buffalo Bills Wild West pre- sents it in magnificently realistic fash ion, being enabled thereto by the great number of trained soldiers in it's troupe. some of them veteran Cuban insurgents and others Roosevelt Rough Riders who were actually in that engagement. Buffalo Bill comes to Waterbury on June 4.

Lord Kelvin, the great physicist who is visiting this country, says that we should not delay longer the adop- tion of the metric system. Many manufacturers of the country say, however. that it would cost more than it would be worth to make radical changes in weights and measures, ne- cessitating confusing alterations in the size of machine parts, etc.

 If the government holds Waterbury down to the 15 per cent clause in the public building bill, it may be neces- sary for this city to take public land which will not cost anything, and then the whole appropriation can be put into the building. There isn't an available site in the city, one that wFl fill the requirements, that can be se- cured for twice the amount the bill allows. Perhaps we will be com pelled to take that corner lot on the Green after all, or let the appropria- tion slip through our hands. It would make a fine spot for public building,
 but the objections to it are numerous.

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men . and women, old and young rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It Is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment IS a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.
