 Hartford is pluming herself on the fact that she has more automobiles than any other city in the state. Some people do take such pride in mere com mercial superiority.

Bit of wall Street Life.

Life is not all stocl.s and bonds ana margins down in Wall street. The other day reporter opened the door of a prom tnent brokers office, and was startled to behold three brokers and two clerks on their knees on the floor around a small but self f-possessed kitten The kitten was sitting with her tail coiled around her front feet, paying not the slightest atten- tion to any of them, while two of the brokers purred ingratiatingly, the,clerks meowed, and the third broker fixed her with a steely glance. As the reporter paused in the doorway and gazed in amazement, the kitten rose 1angui6iy and made her way between two of the brokers over to the waste basket, where she began playing with bundle of pa- pers. Thsn explanations were forthcoTn- ing We found her outside" one of the brokers volunteered, and got her some milk and brought her in here. We were betting on whom she would go to. The conditions were that we could make any noise we wanted to, but we were not all lowed to move or to call her. The bets are off," he added, regretfully IN r. Sun.

LAWS ABOUT CHILDREN.


 Three new laws as to children go into effect in New York, September |. The first is an amendment of an old law, and as it stands forbids the sale of explosives, including fireworks, to children under 16. The second pro- vides that children may be released in the custody of their parents at the dis cretion of the court, on agreement to produce them when wanted. The third is that relating to work by children Tn the streets. It absolutely forbids such work by boys under 10 years of age, and girls under 16 Boys above the required age must have badge issued by the district superintendent of. the board of education before they can sell newspapers or black boots. It is in these two branches of work that the law has its particular application Hartford Times.

The preparation of the decorative sculpture for so vast an exposition as the worlds fair at St Louis is a monu- mental task. It engages the attention of over eighty sculptors, besides the large number of men, about ninety, em- ployed in the enlargement work. This activity goes on under the direction of the we'll known sculptor, Karl Bitter, who is assisted in the discharge of his important task by an advisory com mittee on sculptor composed of Daniel c. French, J. Q. A. Ward and Augustus St Gaudens This committee inspects the sketches submitted by various sculptors and passes upon the enlarge ments made for decoration of the grounds of the fair. The committee reports that the work is advancing rapidly and satisfactorily. The de signs show originality and are of a high order of merit. The designs themselves compare most favorably with those made for previous exposi- tions and the enlargement of the sculp- ture is done with more skill than ever before.

The Cut Direct.

The president of downtown bank has lately issued new order to the numerous employees. He has been dis turbed Nby the great accumulation of bills representing stationery, pencils, etc, which have been called for by the clerks and others. The new order reads:
 Hereafter anyone in need of supplies will sign a written request for same and deposit it with the cashier"
 The first morning after the notice was up somebody borrowed the cash ier's scissors during his absence, and left two disjointed halves of another pair, upopn his desk. The cashier, who believes in E'obeying orders if you break owners" immediately wrote out a requisition on the engineer for a rivet.
 The presidents order was taken down next day. He says the boys are too sharp. Press.

Speaking on President Rooseveh's chances for another term in the White House, one writer says we are not alto gether in the dark as to what to expect from him. He is very frank and open sort of man, ready to rush into speech or print on all sorts of subjects, and as abundant as a newspaper editor in his contributions to the formation of public opinion. He has few or no reserves, and keeps nobody in the dark.
 His opinions are at everyone's service, as they call for them. In this he is the very opposite of Mir Mckinley, who rarely came before the public in this way, and who owed much of his reputation for political wisdom to the habit of holding his tongue. Now, no man can write or talk so much as MT Roosevelt without being at times forced to retract his hastily formed opinions, or without creating the impression that he would do well to take move time to think. In several instances he has been obliged to back down from what he has said, and said in a very public and emphatic way. One in- stance of this was his reckless denial of the atrocities perpetrated by Ameri- can officers upon the Fnipinos. He took his impression in that case from some interested official and not from any real acquaintance with the facts; but he trumpeted that impression abroad with entire confidence in its truth, because he wished to believe it true. Besides this, on several occa- sions he has been forced to back down from his position by considerations of policy. He thus withdrew from the demand that the constitution should be amended to enable congress to deal effectively with the trusts, evidently under pressure from within the party
 He similarly abandoned his first atti- Ntude toward the lilly white" republi- cans of the south, and accepted their candidates for national offices in sew eral states. In both instances his first attitude was right, but party policy overbore him. A wiser way would have been to estimate more exactly what it would have been safe for him to say, stand by that as grim1y as Lin coin and Grant did, even when most of the party leaders were against them.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1903.

The packers of Editor Hearst for the presidency claim that he has en- deare<i himself to the laburlng people of the country by fighting their bat ties at all times. and that he can carry every center of industrial activity in the country, thus assuring democratic success in the states of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Illinois and California, which means democratic victory in the nation, and they say that victory is what they are after. They say that a man who has the business interests at stake possessed by MT Hearst, whose payroll amounts to over $4,00O,- GOO year, and who has never had a controversy with a single man ever on that payroll, can not help being a sat- isfactory candidate to the thousands of conservative business men of the country who did not support the ticket in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900

delivery Breath Of Hyomei
Brinqs Relief.


Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it by drugging the stomach. Tenn
porary relief may be given but a
cure seldom comes.
Until recently our physicians would
have said that the only way to cure
catarrh would be to have a change Of
climate; but now with Hyomei you
can carry a health giving climate in
your vest pocket and by breathing it
few minutes four times a day soon
cure yourself.
The complete outfit Of Hyomei costs
but 81 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pock-
ct. a medicine dropper and a bottle
of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life
time, and If one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle OF Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. 1t is the most
economical of all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her
method of treating diseases OF the
respiratory organs.
The City drug store has sold hun
dreds OF Hyomei outfits and the more
they sell. the more convinced they
are that they are perfectly safe in
