Trade Balance.

Secretary Shaw spoke at Boston at a
big Republican gathering last week and
this is the effective way he presented
one phase of the trade problem;
"Whle the Importance of foreign
market is apparent to all, 1t is more in
portant still that we do not lose sight OF
the value OF our markets. England has
proceeded on the Democratic theory for
many, many years. She has given US
free access to her markets and we an
nually sell to Great Britain 100000, 900,
We have protected our markets and
Great Britain annually sells us about
Sl55, 000,0 900 Our policy of protecting
our markets and thus keeping them for
ourselves, has resulted in balance Of
trade in our favor of $500, 100000 per
annum. The policy pursued by Great
Britain and advocated by the Democracy
has resulted in a balance trade against
her of one billion per annum."

MI. Folsom of Waterville, recently
caught pair Of black foxes in China
and has taken them to Corinna with the
purpose OF starting a fox farm. There
is money in fox farm, according to the
testimony of the men who have been in
the business for several years at Dover,
provided enough foxes can be secured,
but those OF the silver variety do not
breed with the same fecundity as the
Belgian hare. II they did there would
be all kinds of money in the fox business
as the best specimens are said to be
worth several hundred dollars. The
pelts are valuable and therein is again
found difference from the Belgian hare,
although the glowing prospectuses that
went the rounds few years ago an
nouuced that the hides Of the hares had
good value to hat manufacturers. The
writer's must have been reading "Alice
10 Wonderland" and got the March Hare
and the Halter mixed with the Belgian
hare and the halter as those who sent
away for bloodeu stock soon found to
their sorrow that there was Just as much
call for the pelt as for the meat, Vide
licet: none at all.

There will be no small local interest

foot and mouth epidemic" the
despatch calls it, though something like
epibouvc would seem more accurate
was grappled with and stamped out.
The first information of the Out break
was received November II, 1902, and
within thirty day the force of govern
ment experts had caught up with the
infected herds and had got the situation
so we'll in hand as to be able TO take care
of new cases as they arose. The work
continued until May of the present year.
70 rid New England OF the disease 4.4Gl
animals were Killed, of which 3,S72 were
cattle, 229 sheep and 360 hogs. In all
205 herds were affected. The cost of all
animals killed to stamp out the disease
$l2S, 90S. 1t was a costly visitation, but
the money was well spent in that the
disease was confined to limited area
and was quickly and thoroughly Grad
icated. Under less careful and effective
methods IL might have fingered for wears

Southington Man Tries to Pull Out
 Womans Tongue.
 Southington, Oct 12.-Jacob Gottel, a German razor maker employed by the Southington Cutlery Go and occupying the Centennial house on Bristol street, made a murderous assault upon his wife late Saturday night He attempt ed to pull her tongue out by the roots, and as he was unsuccessful, pounded her head with boot heel until her features were I1nrecognizable. When attacked the woman was in bed. She succeeded in protecting her head some what. He left her for an interval. Grabbing counterpane she got out or her room by a window without stop ping to dress and dropped from the porch underneath to the ground. She ran barefooted towards St Thomas's church, where two men returning from a Gernlania hall dance saw her. She requested their protection and they took her to Deputy Sheriff McCabe's S house, opposite the church. The off, cer gave her shelter and sent for a phy, sician Dr William H. Gushing re- sponded. He made the woman as comfortable as possible while the off cer visited the Centennial house. Got tel had meanwhile bolted himself in or his wife out.
 He was arrested yesterday morning by McCabe. assisted by Thomas F. Egan, superintendent of the state po- lice Gottel said: .'My wife talk to- much. She fight ana hit her l get mad Then I guess I go for the axe, but she is gone when I return. lock the door and go to bed with the chill dhen.''
 There are five children. Mrs Gottel was yesterday considerably the worse for exposure to the weather. Aside from underclothing the counterpane was the only protection from the stormy night.

FOR CONTROL OF BOY.
There Will Be Hearing in the Pro-
 bate Court To-Morrow Morning.

In the probate court tomorrow morning there vii be fight for the possession of boy Leroy Schindler, son of George F. Schindler, who lived in the north end some time ago. The boys mother was daughter of Mrs Ada Flanagan, who lived in the vicin- ity of Farm steet. She left three chil- dren of whom Leroy is the eldest. During her final illness she was very anxious regarding the future of the children and determined that Leroy should remain with the father. so it is said, and the other two with his sis ters.
 Schindler married again and went to Buffalo last year, taking Leroy with him. Soon after Mrs Schindler visited her mother at Fishkill-on-the-H Hudson, and took Leroy with her
 Schindler's second marriage was not pleasing to Mrs Flanagan, his chil- dren's grandmother, and when he took Leroy to Buffalo she entered a strong objection. She maintained She had dearer rights to the boy than the step- l mother had. and, in fact, since the death of her daughter she was very anxious regarding the children. Mrs Schindler left Leroy with her
 mother in Fishkill and when Mrs Elan
 agan ascertained this last summer she immediately went to the place, found
 out the school he was attending and
 removed him without informing the
 friends or relatives of his step-mother
 She immediately hied for Waterbury
 filed an application in the probate
 court for the appointment of guard ian over the boy and was herself ap
 pointed to that office.
 But Schindler was not idle mean.
 while Though he was unable te
 leave Buffalo to protest personally
 against the appointment of Mrs Elan, l agan as guardian to the boy, he did I so by mail. He took other measures l to frustrate her purpose, but all were of no avail. Now he has engaged At. ] torney Durant and tomorrow i'll the probate court there will be hearing on his petition for the removal of the
 boys grandmother as his guardian and l the appointment of himself. Mean l while the boy has been hidden. Ev. l erything has been done to find him. but so far the searches have been un. successful.

PIONEER PRINTER DEAD
|. M. Guernsey, Editor, Publisher and
 Preacher Dies at Mystic

F
 Lucius M Guernsey who nublis,a. the New Britain True Citizen . ii++Is paper, in printing office set in ir tl,a basement or the old Baptist church in New Britain in the days before and turing Ine war died at his home in .N!stlc, where he had lived for thirty two years, Thursday.
 When he located in Mystic he began the publication of the Mystic Press. a weekly paper. which during the last months of it's existence was combined with the Groton Review and Noank Pioneer, and printed in New London. He was prominent in the prohibition party, at one time quite strong in Gro ton. He attended the town meeting on Monday, but contracted a cold. from which pneumonia set in. causing his death. He leaves q wife, a son and q franddaughter. whom he had adopted as his daughter.
 All the old settlers in New Britain remember Guernsey and many interesting stories of him are recalled. Town Clerk Penfeld recollected at- tending the trial of Charles Gilbert, the murderer, still in WethersfieId. just after he returned from the war in 1865. The famous criminal lawyer Sam Jones was defending Gilbert, and on summing up his address to the jury Sam warned the jurymen not to be iT- duenced by anything in the contempo- aneous press He made a scathing ref erence to Editor Guernsey's publica- tion. which he accused of having ma. ligned him.
 Guernsey was present and sat 1nv moved while Sam laced his publication to the extent of the rich vocabulary of denunciation at the lawyers com- mand The moment court adjourned for the day, Guernsey, who was a lit tie fellow, jumped upon table and made heated response, which hit the lawyer hard. He said his only refer ence in the True Citizen to the famous lawyer was in the words, Sam Jones. of bank defaulting memory" He de- fled Jones to prove that the adjectives were not warranted and he said he wanted an apology from him, and he wanted it in writing, and he wanted it in time to be published in the next issue of the True Citizen. The spunky editor got the apology.
 Tn getting out the True Citizen. Editor Guernsey had at one time such famous collaboration as the late Judge .val'' Chamberlain. The Press preceded the True Citizen. and after that came the Record. and in due time the Observer and the Herald.

Of Ladies' Fall and Winter Costumes
 and Ready-tO -Wear Garments, TOMORROW, Tuesday,
 Oct. 18th.
Owing to the uncertain

Owing to the uncertain ty which existed among several of the leading Manufacturers regarding styles in Ladies' Suits and costumes, we held back our orders until the last mo- ment for the purpose of procuring the latest and most successful models for our stock.
 The standard of our ready to- wear costumes for Ladies as is we'll termed is the very highest-most of the styles shown by us being exclusive and are not to be seen outside of our store.
 We aim in our ready to-wear department (as in
 
 our custom made) to excel in the style, fit and finish Of our garments above all to shun the ORDINARY. and ladies who are keen on this subject are quick to recognize the points which make the difference be- tween our ready-to-wear garments and the ordinary kind.
 Every Suit and Jacket in our now large stock is is right up to the minute the styles are more desire lethan many which were introduced earlier when manufacturers were expert menting and groping in uncertainty, and the col- lection we display to-mor- row is a perfect reflex of the most fashionable par lors of New York and Paris.
 You are all cordially invited.
