By singularlyN clever tactics, says m exchange, Senator Quay has placed the republican senators who are opposed to statehood ina. most difficult position. He has secured the attachment of the omnibus statehood bill to the agricul- tural appropriation bill, and predicts its similar attachment to the sundry civil and the postottice appropriation bills. The administration senators have already countenanced the attach ment of he,general staff biIl to the mil itary appropriation bill and have thus established, at this session of congress, precedent along similar lines. Hav- ing accomplished this, MT Quay has an- nounced that he will not further press the statehood bill on the floor of the senate and thus the republicans are af, forded an opportunity of demonstrating the sincerity of their desire to enact antitrust legislation.

The pathetic.case of one Juan Gatan

The pathetic case of one Juan Gatan, Filipino whose horse was forc1piy requisftioned by an army officer in No- vember, 1900, furnishes an excellent example of one of the most serious minor defects in the federal system. When Gatan's horse was taken he was told that he would be reimbursed Dy the United States, but he has never re- ceived his money, although the case has twice come under the supervision of twenty-eight army officers It IS now in the hands of the house commit tee on military affairs, and as Gatan has no influence in congress it will probably rest there for all time. All though the-secretary of war knows the case to be perfectly just, 1t will re- quire a special act of congress before he can reimburse the man for his prop erty taken and lost by the United State saruay.

Go cars. There is no need of the guard in Waterbury to-day, nor will there e.any need of these soldier lad dies at any time hereafter, we venture to remark. The violence perpetrated and attempt ed Saturday night was spontaneous. Banned by a few imaginary or real wrongs here and there, it didn't take long to turn the laughing, jolly crowd that was on the, streets between 8 and 9 o'clock into a bowling mob between Il and 12. We have been assured by several of the strikers that the union trolley men had no hand in it, but dis countenanced it at every opportunity. Whoever was responsible for Saturday nights outrages can feel that they have brought lasting disgrace on the city of Waterbury. The men that led the rioting Saturday night are an in jury to any cause and they stand be- fore the community to-day as lawless citizens. Had the militia been here Saturday night there might be occasion for holding several funerals to-day. Those who witnessed the scenes will never forget it, and could hardly be- lieve it, had not their own eyes beheld the doings. There was no stopping the maddened crowd The police did splendid work in the center of the city, where the crowd was the largest, and succeeded in keeping the crowds pret- ty well in hand. Time md again they beat the shouters back, and they de- Serve praise for the manner in which they preserved law and order. It was in the outskirts where the greater damage was done, as well as while the cars were on the way to the barn. The temper of the crowd was such at 1O:3O o'clock that 1t seemed almost foolish to persist in running the cars, and as very few people were riding anyway, it would have been a good IncyG to have called thcm tn. Perhaps the manager was desirous of knowing to Just what extent the mob would go, so that he could govern his future ac- tions thereby. That there was no loss of life is wonder, under the cir cumstances, although on the other hand it is plain to be seen that the men who led in the trouble didn't in- tend to take life when they came up town Saturday night. Not knife or pistol was fiourished. Not club was used as far as we have been able to learn. All this goes to show that it was the spontaneous outburst of an angry crowd, spurred on by stories exaggerated many times perhaps. Let us hope that the trouble is now over, and that the military men will very soon be sent to their homes.
Waterbury Democrat., 1903-02-02

After all, when one views calmly the Saturday night trouble, it is not so bad as it might have been. In the ex- citement of the moment people were inclined to exaggerate and spread on everything. The property loss Is very small, considering the size of the crowd that was in the mob. The call ing of the militia may have been a wise move, but there are a number of people who question it. There must be a whole lot of expense attached to the bringing of two regiments of sol diers into Waterbury on a Sunday evening, by special train. Somebody has got to pay it. The soldiers haven't a thing to do here to-day only enjoy themselves. Even though it was deemed best to call out the militia, why couldn't one regiment have answered the purpose as well as two? This un- fortunate affair will give the city q black eye for long time, and the bringing of the First and Second regi-
 nents to town did not help affairs one bit.

JUST A FEW RECORDS
Met, Wooed and Were Married in
 Thirty Minutes.
Most Touching Romance of 1902 The Tiniest Bride - Worlds Champion Smoker and
 Prize Spamkers

In diverse and curious fields the rec ord breakers were busy during the year 1902.
 ruthlessly shattered in the early Apringtime, when Madison Ormsby, aged 59, went down to Kansas City from Omaha and met Miss Jessie Turner, who evidently still retained irresistible charms, notwithstanding Shat her forty-fifth birthday was wound up on times relentless reel They met by chance and were intro duced by a common friend, whereupon they hiked away to the courthouse and were married j1st as soon as they could get the license and line up in Gront of a judge.
 ''1t's just 30 minutes since first we met" said Ormsby, as pleased as Punch, land here we are with the knot Eied.''
 Whether the knot remained tied does not concern this history.
 It was.in the early weeks of the year Chat the romance of Miss Mildred Deuel, of Richmond, Va, set new mark for those important stages of life which most women reckon by years. In the brief space of ten min utes she was maid, a wife, and a widow. In 6 San Francisco hospital she became Mrs. Richard Miles Stan ton while her husband was dying, a victim of fever contracted in the ser vice of his country in the Philippines. Clasping each others hands, when it was too late to summon & minister, the young people took the vows of matrimony under a civil agreement. which was duly witnessed by relatives of both, and few minutes later Lieut.. Stanton was dead.

weighing only 75 pounds, and attired Tn short skirts, e1oped with Frank Mo Coy, nearly twice her age, and became his wife. The year still was young, and so were Miss Rose Mason and her fiancee, Michael T. McGovern, when they appeared before the clerk in Chi cago and established new record as youthful applicants for marriage li- cense, which they obtained. The bride was 15 and the bridegroom two years her senior, their combined ages being B.
 Speed records in divorce cases are not unusual or startling in these days, but when grounds and speed both are considered, the crackerjack of 1902 un- occasionally was the case of John w. Langley, of Columbus, Ind., who ob- tained decree in less than 15 minutes separating him from his wife Mary. He alleged that she had habit of taking a alarming needle to bed with her and jabbing him with it when he fell asleep. When he protested she would get out of bed, plant herself In a rocking chair in the middle of the door, rocking violently and bringing her heels down with a bang at each rock, and for two hours would sing at the top of her voice: "Oh, won't it be joyful when we part to meet no more!"
 During the year a story went the rounds of the press about a man who pretended to be the champion smoker of the world For 20 years he had smoked, he said, one and one-quarter pounds of tobaccp a week, so that in the period named he had actually re- duced to smoke an amount of the weed equal to ten times his own weight. A remarkable record, truly, but it must give way to that of the champion smoker of the British army, private in the Third battalion, Royal War wickshire regiment, who from his youth up regularly consumed one and one-half pounds of tobacco every week, until his regiment was drafted out to South Africa. His supply was then curtailed, which almost broke his heart
 The principal of school at Man. chester, Conn, holds the record as a spanker Armed with an ordinary ruler he administered 47 spankings in B minutes one day, thus turning tear full boys and girls away from him at the rate of three and eight-tenthsb boys
 andl girls. a minute.
 Among the novel records of the pe- riod must be included that held by James Stewart, of Leyden, N. Y, who announces that he has lived on this earth IDA years without ever having told lie. He goes George Washing ton one better by saying that he can lie, but won't. This remarkable cen tenarian used alcoholic beverages and tobacco freely until he was 90, when he took new chute and swore off.

If the enthusiastic friends of the striking trolleymen were said by the Democrat our city would not now be under military law. Yes and if our city officials had taken our advice and grasped this affair with firm hand two weeks ago, we would not now be forced to- hang our heads for shame. And again if the newspapers in giving the news would not make mountains out of molehills, some of these hot-brained young men would not have imagined that they had to do something to be as desperate and as tough as the imaginary ones they read about. If this strike cannot be won without resorting to the tactics of the most uncivilized wild west community then tue strikers should throw up at once, and go to work. Right is might and must prevail. While many, yes very many, are in sympathy with the trolley men in their just demands, they are not, nor can they ever be on the side of lawlessness. When things go as far as they did Saturday night the conservative element of the community is apt to make move. Mayor Kill duff should make a supreme effort in conjunction with the various boards of the city, to straighten out this affair at once. The city is suffering every day it continues, and the business men are uneasy because of the loss of busi- ness. The city officials should settle this matter at once, and now, and let the soldiers return to thelr homes and their regular employment. It isn't pleasant for them nor for us as things are now.

The old saying, lone never knows what day may bring forth" was never better illustrated than 1t was in this city the past day or two. Satur- day we were all living in peace and pretty fair harmony, considering the fact that labor strike is in our midst, but to-day we are living under mar tial law as 1t were, and the tread of the state militia can be heard in our streets. The demonstration of Sat urday night is the prime cause for the calling of the militia, although 1t has bee2 said That this would be resorted

On one occasion when a boarder had devoured everything eatable on the table within his reach, and when the landlady had supplied until her strength and patience were well- nigh exhausted, she suddenly broke out with: II shall certainly have to raise the price of your board!' Don't think of doing such thing" he replied, ''it is nearly killing mo now to eat all pay for, and should you raise my board and compel me to eat more it will be the death of me."-Chicago Chronicle.

Suffered From Disease, Affecting His
 Brain, Before the Spanish War.
 WASHINGTON Feb. 2.-A pension of $30 a month was recently granted to the widow of Admiral w. T. Sampson. That was done under the general law governing in such cases. 1t is the same rate of bounty allowed, according to rank, to the widows Of other military officers who lose their lives from causes arising out of the performance of duty in the service of the country.
 The medical record of the case, how ever, is not without interest to all those who have followed the stirring events that began with the blowing up of the Maine in Havana harbor and culmi- hated in the sea battle off Santiago.
 For fully five years prior to his death Admiral Sampson was afflicted with aphasia, according to the medical rec orCs upon which the pension was granted. This has been duly certified to, and the facts were compiled from official records made by surgeons of the navy who attended the distinguished officer during various illnesses of that malady when 1t came upon him in a foRsn more or less acute.
 Dr. A. B. Richardson, superintendent at St. Elizabeth's, where there are al- ways considerable number of pa- tients suffering from aphasia, said that 1t was serious organic brain disease.
 "Aphasia primarily impairs the fac ulties of speech said Dr. Richardson. T have never seen case yet where aphasia in adults did not affect the judgment. Patients are also aware of their inability to speak correctly, and 1t irritates them. The disease is almost invariably fatal, but the time for which 1t runs varies with different patients"
