Hurd, an aged veteran of the civil War Mrs Stanley not long ago told friend that her father. Lord Allan, formerly governor of a province In India, was the founder of the Allan line of Atlantic steamers. Tn q note book found among her effects appears 1 the following:
 Brother Georges fortune was esti-
 mated at $35,O00,OOO, but at this writ ing suppose 1t is $4OO. 1000, ,OOO. To l think how rich Brother George is and how poor am"
 Nothing definite is known of the brother except that it is believed he lived at one time in Spain or the Bar 1 loados. Some time ago when Mrs istanley's poverty stricken condition
 was brought to the attention of the
 dean of St Johns cathedral, he com
 municated with Sir James Grant of
 Toronto, who, Mrs Stanley claimed
 was her half brother. A reply was
 received to the effect that Sir James
 was not her half brother. No arrange.

 Be Organized by Bishop Derrick in
 Several Cities.
 New York, March 6-The attitude assumed by President Roosevelt toward the negro has been indorsed in rous- ing meeting of colored people held in the Bethel Methodist Episcopal church in this city, at which Bishop w. E. Derrick of the First Methodist Episco- pal district made stirring appeal t0 his people to turn their eyes to tho door of hope opened by the president' to the black race. The mention of tho name of the president by the speaker drew forth tremendous applause from both men and women. The bishop in~ dulged in bitter denunciation of Sem ator Tillman of South Carolina The meeting constituted the first step toward the formation of the s'Roose- welt invincibles," which organization will favor the renomination of Presi- dent Roosevelt. Bishop Derrick will speak in Philadelphia on a similar mis- sion, and will address the colored men in many of the principal cities of the country and organize them Into local Roosevelt invincibles," who will use every effort toward placing colored men as delegates in the next national convention. On the platform at the. meeting was James H. Hayes of Vir- ginia.
 During his speech Bishop Derrick spoke of the appointment of c0lored men to office by Grover Cleveland and other presidents but said that, where as these presidents appointed negroes, Roosevelt appointed men.
 aColor is nothing" said the speakef,
 however much some white men would harp upon it. Why, there are colored men whom Iwould I not allow in my kitchen, much less in my dining room Yes, and there are white men whom ! would not allow in my Kitchen, either. l At the close of his speech the bishoY offered the following resolutions, whicl were adopted amid cheers. Resolved, That in his excellencN the president, the Hon Theodore Roose~| l velt the liberty of the world has most l fervent defender, civilization a gallant representative, humanity generous protector, the American nation typeE of civil valor and heroic self-denial which ought to hcaracterize the hrst| magistrate of a republic.
 Resolved, That we recognize thatthe great and unfinished task of LincolI which has fallen into his hands will b{ properly and successfully accomplished for the happiness and prosperity of tho l nation.
 Resolved, That we pledge ourselves from this time henceforth to use our in | fuence for his nomination and election to the presidency in 1904
 Resolved, That we form ourselves. into an association to be known af 'Roosevelt's invincibles,' recommending
 similar organizations to be formed. throughout the country"

cartridges, etc, on the tracks, failed to see the boulders so elaborately de- scribed? Why doesn't the company come out honestly and state the real cause, which was the breaking of a suspension bar on which hang tue mo- tors, and not try and shelve it's re- sponsfbifity for not properly looking after the cars before running them out?
 A collision occurred near St Johns church on West Main street this morn Ing, which. had it happened in the darkness, would doubtless have SUD- piled another scare story for the com pany. An Oakville car, going west, ran head-on into Waterville car, going III the same direction, which had stop ped near the church for a passenger. An eye witness informs us that two women on the North Willow street car narrowly escaped accident by mak- ing frantic efforts to jump off.
 Ine statement in this mornings pa- per that our chauffeur refused to work on the automobile last night because Of long hours, is out of whole cloth. Somebody must be drawing overtime on his imagination. For the benefit of the writer we will state that union men never kick on working overtime providing they get paid for it. Our chauffeur has been around looking for the originator of the story, but was un- able to get any satisfaction to-day. He is indignant over, the falsehood. The trolley company Is still distrib- ut1ng free tickets to those who will ride on the cars. The tickets are en- dorsed on the back. Good oaly until strike is settled.'
 Two more of the non-union trolley men left town to-day.
 A car jumped the track on the Wa tervllle line this afternoon. The cause is said to have been oyerspeeding.
 At the conclusion of his address at the annual banquet of the Waterbury Business Mems association in Odd Fellows hall last night, Warren L. Hall, president of the association. said that there was not word of truth in the story that the Business Mems as- sociation was organizing to end the strike, and he asked the represent atives of the press, who were present, to make mention of his remarks. In- cidentally it might be said that in the concluding remarks of his speech last night President Hall said that he in tended to resign from the presidency at the end of the year. This an- nouncement was greeted with cries of ''No, no," we won't let you,' and one or two persons shouted, 'sWe will have you for mayor then.''

SHE DID NOT DRINK.
And Consequently Did Not Need First
Floor Rooms.


American pushfulness IS an unlim
tied quantity. The women are as ir.
repressible in society as the men IN
commerce. A certain visitor to the
Riviera found this out recently. He
was occupying first floor rooms at a
well-known hotel. All of sudden,
without any introduction or prelim-
mary, note was brought to him
signed by the wife Of g. well.known
American millionaire. 1t asked him
whether he would object to giving up
his rooms to her niece. He was much
amazed, but wrote back inQuiring
whether the niece drank. Mrs. -
wrote in reply, in surprise and indig-
nation, winding up with an emphatic
statement that her niece did not
drink. Lord k concluded with
the following note: Lord k re-
grets that he cannot give up his first
floor rooms to Mrs. -'s niece,
for he is convinced that, as the young
lady does not drink, it is very much
easier for her to get up stairs than 1t
is for Lord X- London Tat

One day while in Norway an oppDr-
tunity was given to an American trav-
eler to see that the name of Bjorn-
stjerne Biornson means much to all
Norwegians. "A battalion of Nor
wegian and Swedish cavalry, infantry
and artillery, between 1900 and 4,0uO
strong, was returning from its maneu-
vers to the post in Christiania," he
says. "In passing Aulestad the gen
eral in command sent his adjutant IN

to give him an ovation. With his fam
lily and guests assembled about him
on the veranda the monumental figure
stood with barred head to receive the
military greeting. AS each regiment
passed in review below, presenting
arms as to their chieftain, there went
up a .deafening shout Of personal
ealutation from each of the soldiers.
