TUESDAY JANUARY 20, 1903.
That President Roosevelt is fast es-

That President Roosevelt is fast es- tranging the members of his own par ty is evident in Washington. There is no question as to the choice of the senate. With the possible exception of Senator Lodge, there is no doubt but that every republican senator would cast his ballot for Senator Han 11a. There is an alliance between Senators Hanna and Fairbanks by which it is agreed that if when the convention meets MT Hanna, desires the nomination all of MT Fairbanks strength will be thrown to him, but if MT Hanna, for any reason, concludes not to enter the race his strength will be thrown to the Indiana senator. MT Roosevelt knows of this combination and is trying to meet it, but his lack of familiarity with politics. and his headstrongness both standsin his way and it is 8 question if he will succeed against the willy methods of Hanna and Fairbanks.

WHAT A FARMER SHOULD. KNOW

Tn agriculture. as in manufactures, success consists in securing the largest and best production at the smallest ex- penditure of force, time and money. Evidently the farmer who aims at such success must have an understanding of plant life and what proportion of it's sustenance it draws respectively from the air and the soil. He must know the chemical constituents of the latter, and the treatment which is requires to restore the plant food exhausted by his crops. He must have a knowledge of the climates demanded by different cereals, vegetables and fruits. He must be acquainted with the diseases and insect pests which endanger both plant and animal life and should know how to treat them. He should be familiar with the principles of animal nutri- tion and the value of foods. In addi- ton to all the expert Knowledge re- qHired, there are those mental quail ties which are developed by scientific training-a keen perception and an alert habit of mind, a full appreciation of the value of facts and hospitality to new ideas, together with that flexibil- ity which enables its possessor to adapt himself more readily to changed con ditions. Evidently the farmer of the future will not be ''the man with the hoe."-Josiah Strong n Success.

MANNERS IN PUBLIC.

The consequence of Woman's adopt ing customs unbecoming to herself are manifold. In the first place, she strikes at the most sacred thing in the uni verse, mans love and reverence for Wo- men. She strikes at that primeval in stinct, which Is that the strong should protect the weak, that the lover should seek the maid, and that he should kiss whilst she holds the cheek. Who could in the fashionable circles of to-day have inspired Shakespeare to create Viola? or else have made fair Rosalind say, when fainting, ''I have no doublet and hose in my disposition" A young girl of to-day would be apt to call for her sweater, and, alas! would bet in the race-course language of Saratoga, in stead of saying, with Jessica, charm ing creature! "I am never merry, when hear sweet music" or some such re- fined rernar... It would seem sometimes as if that primeval Eve had been eradi- cated, and that Catherine of Russia, Nell Gwynne, and less illustrious exam ples had been installed in her place. A very clever literary artist of to-day, who has written in French of Eve Nictorieuse, has painted with most con- sunmate skill, the beautiful young American woman in Paris her who, partly spoiled by her indulgent and most chivalrous American husband, (who thinks whatever she does is right. is not rightly comprehended in the old world. where her mannerisms are misunderstood
 True delicacy exhibits itself most sig nificantly in little things; in the atti- tude, the way of standing and of sitting down. Watch a famous dancer, and see how well, how modestly she sits down. Fanny Ellsler said that she gave five years study to the art of sit ting down gracefully. It is a great thing to do a little thing well, and we may be sure that the art of taking a seat ''like lady" is not too much studied by women in public places. A young girl should remember, as she en- ters a crowded theater. that she should produce a murmur of satisfaction from her modest shrinking beauty, not a con- gratulatory gurgle of pleasure at her air of impudence and independence M.

HEARD IN PASSING

Two esteemed Bridgeport contem- poraries, the Standard and the Farmer, announced reduction of their price to cent on Saturday. We wish them luck and extend to4them the compliments Of the season. but at the same time we re- serve the right to think and say that 2 cents is the ideal price for an ideal daily paper.-Hartford Post.
 We shall probably worry through this winter somehow or other, but some way of preventing long strikes and corners" that artifcially raise the prices of coal must be discovered and enforced. Meanwhile, those who SOW the wind must expect to reap the whirlwind. The limit of public pa- New Haven Leader.
 We of the south no longer dream of separate national existence. Our wealth and power and material great ness are to be gained in the union, and in it we mean to stay until we dominate it as we did In it's early de- cade. Therefore. no more secession for the south. Next time it may be New England that will. want to se- scede.-New Orleans Picayune.
 x If the Standard Oil trust wants to in- cur the real enmity of the people in this period of coal famine, an enmity which will not be readily forgotten or forgiven, it will continue to raise it's prices every week or two.

NO PREMIUM ON 1902 PENNIES.
Said to Have Gold in Composition and
 in Great Demand.

There is great demand for 1902 pen nies at present, and many are, striving to get hold of them in quantities. The statement is being circulated that the pennies contain gold, the supposltlon being that in some accidental manner a bar of gold found it's way into the pot where the composition for the pen nies was being melted.
 Not only in Hartford, but ill the sur rounding towns also, the quest TOT 1902 pennies is being eagerly pursued. It was reported Friday evening that young man from a nearby town had taken 15O of the pennies to one or the Hartford banks, and received b cents each for them. The cashier Of the bank in question said Saturday morn ing that the bank was not buying pen nies of that date, and had no desire to do so. Just before Christmas it had received many thousands of them with which to supply the large stores. He knew of the desire to secure these pennies. He said small boys came into the bank with expectant races thinking they were going to sell tnelr collection of 1902's at a good price, put they went away sorrowful.
 The bank, he said, will not purchase the pennies at a premium unless noti- fled by the government to do so. Pro yided the mint did, through careless ness. send out thousands of pennies with gold in them, the mistake prob ably was not repeated. How theh' said the cashier, are the Dahks lo know the pennies containing the golu from the ordinary penny. The gov ernment, admitting the mistake to have been made, would not, he said, pay several thousand dollars in excess of the value of the gold in an endeaV- or to call in all the pennies or l9oz.

DIDN'T GET HIS PASSES.
MT. Boothe and sHis Family Were
 Promised Free Trolley Rides.

HFOmlSeds Free IrOlley hlQeS.
 Because he has not obtained life passes on the trolley lines for himself and family, in accordance with an agreement which he made a part of his complaint, David R. Boothe of Strat- ford has brought three suits for dam- ages. One is against the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go for $2,OOO, another against the Shelton Street Railway Go for $2,OOO, and the third against Andrew Radel for $1,OOO.
 MT Boothe is the owner of two pieces Of land in Stratford which were taken by the Shelton Street Railway Go when the road was built He was not satis- fled with the offer made for the prop erty at the time and the road threat ened to condemn 1t. A compromise was made finally and the road obtained a right of way over the land. ,r
 In his suit against MT Radel, the agreement Is made part of the com plaint. It is to the effect that in fur thur consideration of the right of way Andrew Radel promised to use his best efforts to obtain life passes over the lines of the Shelton Street Railway Go, and the Bridgeport Traction Go, for MT Boothe, his wife, Betsey A. Boothe, his two sons, David R.. Jr, and Stephen N. Boothe, and "their wives and children as vet unborn
 The plaintiff says he has not been able to obtain the life passes and he has repeatedly asked Mir Radel to carry out the agreement. For failure he asked $1,000 damages.

NINETY MILLION TONS CEREAL

The story of American agriculture has been the story of our growth in population and of the extension of our national domain-a record without a parallel in the history of the world "A Chicago man. once said that he had lied a great many times about the growth of his city, but Providence had always quickly come to his relief. It would take gifted liar to overstate the growth of our agriculture, or ex- aggerate the marvel of it's present pro- portions. The difficulty is to prod imagination to any appreciation of the simple facts.
 Uncle Sam already occupies the first rank among the farmers of the world in the magnitude and value of his crops. Although his family con- stftutes only one-twentieth of the hu- man race, he produces nearly one third of the worlds food supply, while Russia, which comes next as a food producer, has one-twelfth of the worlds population and supplies less than one-fifth of it's food. Compare our wheat crop for 1900 with that of the other leading wheat countries of the world:

The expert (not oft1cia) estimate or our wheat crop for the past year is 7OO50O,0O0 bushels, and the same au- tEority places our corn crop at 2,5S9,- 951, ,OOO bushels, which equals the out put of wheat for the entire world in 1900.
 We are told by government author ity that our crop of cereals for sin gle year is 90,OOO,O00 tons. Let us try to get hold of these figures so that they will mean something to us. How long train of cars would be re- quired to ship this crop, allowing 40 feet outside measurement to each car, and ten tons of grain to each.
 If we had a double track belting the globe at the equator, these cars loaded with our grain crop for sim gle year would fill both tracks solid, and then enough would be side tracked to reach from New York to San Francisco six times.-J osiah Strong, in Success. t.I e#

port to the enterprise. Severa
thousand copies will be printed anc
