OF the police force, in public pro-
cession. His welcoming speeches,

guished by the lavish use of person
al pronouns, vanity and bad gram
mar. He issnot an intelligent man,
in the sense of being studied or
well read, and while he may have
been a good surgeon twenty-five
years ago he is now back number.
While the science of surgery and
medicine has been advancing so
rapidly within the last two decades
that physicians have had to study
hard and long to keep up with it,
DR.. Ames, with a conceit that
caused him to think he knew all
that ever could be known, simply
sat still and let the procession get
SO far ahead of him that he will never
be able to catch it.
Politically he never had any fixed
principles which he could elucidate
or explain. He was most at home as a
democrat because most Of his asso-
clates, as well as his habits, were
democratic. But any party was
good enough for him if only he
could be its principal beneficiary.
His last election as mayor on the
ticket was an illustra-
ton of the evil possibilities of the
primary election law. Left to its
own untrammelled choice the re-
publican party Of Minneapolis would |
20 sooner have nominated Doc.
Ames for mayor than they would
have nominated a tanned gorilla.
But he was nominated, and the sit
latlon was So complicated that
enough people held their noses and
voted for him to elect him.
But DR.. Ames was a man with a
Dig heart. He was read Y to 60 and

knew he would never be paid for

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24,. 1903

The battle of the primaries is on in earnest these days in Waterbury Both parties, has it's factions and they are working tooth and nail for the upper hand. It is sincerely to be hoped that the strenuous campaign that is being waged will not leave bad after effects in the democratic ranks. The candi- dates and their friends should keep within their lines. The democrats want to win at the election. no matter who wins at the primaries. For that reason it is best for those who are managing the campaigns not to say or do anything that will weaken the party on October 5. The primary campaign just closing has been most exciting and hard fought one, and the man that wins will be entitled to carry the dem- ocratic banner.

spaalxfna of the trouble between tr,,,rlxev and Bulgaria one writer says that in the face of such aggressive mli- iAary fanatioisna, it might be supposed that all Christian peoples would stand together for the common defence. TO some extent they did so when the TurK was in his strength, and they feared him. But with his decay other con- alterations came into play, and each of them is more eager to obtain some advantage by securing his friendship than to work for his overthrow. Rus sia has the best record for consistent a1lta gonism to the Turk, but even Rus sia is nightly concerned about the fu- ture of Constantinople, and rather a1l- gry to find that Bulgaria is more falde. pendent in spirit and less subservient to Russian aims than was expected by the czar's government when it's libera- tion was effected in 1879. Russia means that some day the ezar shall hear the Greek service sung in the great cathe- dral of santa Sophia, which Justinian built, and in which so many Greek ena4 perors worshipped.

PATRIOTS OF GREAT WEIGHT.
Officers of the Revolution who Went Over the Two Hundred Mark
 on the Scales.

The biggest officer in the revolution ary war was Col. Swift, who weighed BIO pounds, says the New York Press. Gen. Washington, always In fine train- ing and without an ounce of superau- ous flesh, weighed 209 pounds during his campaigns. Gen Benjamin Lincoln who surrendered Charleston to Sir Henry Clinton and afterward accepted the sword of Gen. Cornwallis at York; town, was of PA pounds avoirdupois. Gen. Henry Knox, Washington's mouth piece on many occasions, and he who said: ''It is rule in war never to leave a fort in your rear," weighed 280 pounds and was as light on his feet as kitten.
 Great bulks these! Gen. Jedidiah Huntington weighed 182 pounds, Lieut.. Col. Cobb 182 and Gen. Creator 166. They were regarded as light weights. Col. Michael Jackson, who had five brothers and five sons in the war. and who at the battle of Bunker Hill killed 6 British officer in personal encounter, weighed 252 pounds. His brother, Gen. Henry Jackson, weighed 238 pounds. Col. Huntingdon PIP and Col. Hum. phreys 221. Humphreys, the poet, was favorite aid-de-camp to Washington. Gen.

PRODUCTS OF HAWAII.
Cotton, Casava starch, Castor oil Bean and vaniIa Among the
 Most PromisinE.

It has been discovered that Hawaii is the only place where Egyptian cot ton will grown besides it's native country. The Egyptian cotton conn nands a much higher price than the ordinary kind because it has twisted threads and mixes well with silk The ordinary variety of cotton also grows we'll in the islands, but it will be side- tracked if the Egyptian can be made a success, says report from the islands.
 More attention also is being paid to the cultivation of the manioc, from which cassava starch is made The plant or shrub grows like weeds in the islands and it's further cultivation promises an. important new industry for Hawaii. A mill has already been started on one of the other islands, at Lihue, Kauai, for the manufacture of the root into starch. but it is used now ton is to make the starch in quanti- ties large enough for export The ag- Yicu1tural department at Washington has made chemical tests of the starch and finds that 1t is much better than potato starch for either food or textile purposes. An offer has been received from eastern manufacturers for any quantity of the manioc starch at three and one-half cents per pound. An acre of land yields ton of starch and 1t can be grown without care.
 More attention is also being given now to the cultivation Of the castor oil bean and the vanilla plant. Both grow we'll here and the production of both these staple articles will probably be increased in the near future
 Along with the development of other island industries the newly created territorial board of agriculture intends to take steps for the propagation of forest trees and the protection of for- ests. At the request of the board, Dr. Pinchot, head of the forestry bureau in Washington. has agreed to super wise the work in Hawaii, and has sent out w. W. Hall, of the department, to plan forestry work in the islands. San- dalwood and koa. which once formed articles of export, are extinct Few of the valuable native woods can now be found, and 1t IS doubtful if they can ever be replaced.

THE CHANCE OF A PRISONER.
From Mrs. Booths Memoirs in Leslie's
 Monthly for October.

Monthly for October.
 entered my office one morning to find a very worn and travel-stained wanderer awaiting me. He had been a crook since he had been old enough to gain his livdng, and having had no home influence except that which was evil, he followed the wrong path faithfully to his own ruin. He had never done honest work in his life. With no trade, no character, no refer- ences, no friends. and with q criminal past stamped on his face, when his money was gone after he had been dis charged from pTison-tlle outlook was most discoura ging. Just at this point a policeman acted the part of fate and ran him ill, not because he had com n1btted any crime but to prevent him from doing so.
 That night when the door of his cell changed behind him a deep realization of his failure swept over him. Prison, prison, is it always and forever to be prison?" lie grOaned, and throwing himself on his knees. for the first time in his life, he prayed. The next day in court, some one unknown to him said good word on his behalf and he was discharged. He walked from Bos- ton to New York and when I heard the story very simply told in his rough way he said: Now, Little Mother, will you give me chance? Is there amy hope for me? Very gladly did we bid him welcome.
 When he left US it was hard work he undertook When the first pay day came he called at my office, cota- ing jin stradght from work in tcil- stained clothing and his hands bearing the marks of toll which means So much to us. As rose to greet him he clasped my fingers in his two strong hands and with tears filling his eyes he said: Little Mother, just came to thank you. can't tell you what the Home has done for me, but want my Comrades to know 1 ann really grate- ful." And then he drew from his pocket A little roll Of bills and pressing 1t ir my hands. he said: 'srhat Is the first honest money I ever earned. | want you to use it for the boys who are now where was once.

ART IN SHIRT IRONING.
Calls for More Than a Little Skill to Make the Garment Fit
 Comfortably.

Shirts ironed to fit, read sign in a laundry window, and man who. ac- cording to the New York Sun, was curious enough as to what that meant to go in and ask, learned this:
 There are two ways of ironing a shirt, one the slap-dash. any way, the other the careful, painstaking way that results in bringing the shirt back into it's original lines, so that it will put on and hang as it was intended to.
 '"This means, in the ironing of a starched shirt, that it is ironed, as to the bosom, in such manner that the two parts of the front will meet and match perfectly so that, in the case of a button shirt, they will button truly, and the bosom lie fiat and smooth and trim, without waves or wrinkles; and so that in the case of a shirt, the stud holes will match truly permitting the studs to be placed easily and leaving the bosom, when the studs have been placed, to lie smooth and trim as in the case described of the buttened shirt.
 It means ironing the shoulder pieces of the shirt as they should be ironed. and getting the collar band true all around, and meeting properly in front, and standing at the proper and eom- fortable angle to the body of the shirt. so that 1t will be easy on the neck. It means, in short, the ironing of the shirt as 1t should be ironed, So that 1t will he convenient and easy for the wearer, and So that it will be at it's best as to ap- peaFance. It means ironing shirt 50 that it will fit.
 "oh, yes, there is art in the ironing of a slairt.''

Curious Stones.

District Clerk. Frank H. Haskell
has in his possession several rounded
stones, which he picked up in one of
the Seiber pastures on Pinon Mesa,
which are undoubtedly small meteor
ties or fragments of some large mete-
or. The stones, aside from their
composition. look like different sized
bullets. Very recently when John
Thatcher, the we'll known banker from
Pueblo. one of the stockholders of the
Seiber Cattle COMPANY. visited the
ranch he was attracted by these small
round stones. He took some to Pueblo
and submitted them to a well known
scientist who pronounced them un-
doubtedly of meteoric formation.
There is whole field of the stones
and they are fruitful source for sci

MARKED
CHANGES.
The improvements Many in
Vicinity Of Fourth Street
and Colorado Avenue.

That section of the city around
Fourth and Colorado avenues has GER
tainly had transformation, since
Kersberg and Hertz have become the
proprietors of a large amount of prop
erty in that section. Their new store
just completed ON Colorado avenue is
one of the handsomest store rooms in
the city. Everything about the place
is strictly first class i'll every particu-
lar. The ceiling of the store is cor
rugated iron. delightfully."- painted in
harmonizing colors. There are large
plate glass windows. huge doors, floor
oiled and every thing spic and span
ready for their new stock of goods.
Beside their handsome building they
have laid fine concrete walk in
front of their property facing on Col
orado avenue, corresponding to the
walk in front of the property facing
ON Fourth street. improvements like
these count for much, as it is incen-
tive for others to go and do likewise.
Had they replaced their old plank
walk others might have argued to
themselves that there was no use of
making any better walk, now it is
different. The example of the care
that these gentlemen hav had for
their property. being comparative
strangers in the city. might well be
emulated by others.
