The editor desires to return his per sonal thanks to the New Preston cor respondent for his very generous and kindly expression, as given in the New Preston letter, this week. That THE BEE is what it is is the result of such faithful and excellent cOrre- spondents as Brother Beardsley, backed up by the hard work of the owners of the paper, the Messrs Smith. THE BEE has no representatives in the field but those financially inter- ested in the paper. And as they are

first of all gentlemen, we have yet to hear a single complaint of unfair treatment. There has been a growing friendliness on the part of the people toward THE BEE and it's representa- tives, as evidenced by solid list of subscribers, numbering over 40OO peos pie. This in spite of increasing com petition. It will always be our aim to keep the standard high, and as long as a Gracious Providence permits us to labor there will be no letting up ency. Such unsought and cheering words as this from Brother Beardsley are, again we reiterate, deeply appre- ciated.
 Our esteemed townsmen and friend, E. L. Johnson, moderator of Newtown town meeting in Ooctober last, may we'll feel gratified as the Supreme court has just handed down decision upholding the position he took in counting for L. c. Morris pastors with MT Norris name placed over the sec- ond name on the democratic ticket. In New Milford the moderator ruled the other way and Attorneys Adds and Davenport, counsel for the demo- crats, promptly took the question to the Superior court where they won out. Attorneys Williams and Warner, counsel for MT Barnes, the republican first selectman, appealed to the Supreme court and the result is a de- cision upholding Judge. Wheeler. This will place J. LeRoy Buck in the office of first selectman. Aside from all political considerations the decision is eminently wise and just and will con- mend itself to all fair minded men. It is good thing to have the question settled once for all, as it is likely to bob up at any town election.

It is one of the remarkable things about our modern manufactures that Utilizing Waste from what used to
 Products. gOtO waste valua ble products are now secured. In the re- fining of petroleum modern science has found many things of mechanical value and dyes in what they used to throw away. Cotton seed was once considered worthless but now it's prod ucts used for food and in making soap are worth over 6O,OOO,OOO a year. Wool washing loses in the process some millions of dollars worth of oil and men are at work trying to find a way to cleanse the wool and save the oil ard potash. Once they ran saw dust down the streams clearing out the fish and polluting the water. Now they get acetic acid out of sawdust and are pressing it into bricks for burning. Even the slag from the furnace is being turned to account in making brick and cement. No doubt we shall stop other wastes as we learn better methods of manufacture and conservation of wastes.

Two of the most serious diseases which affect mankind are typhoid
 Two New fever and blood rledical Discoveries poisoning. For
 of Note. both of them remedies have recently been discov- cred or rediscovered. Lemon juice or citric acid is discovered to be one of the great germicides for the typhoid bacillus. It is said that the acid kills the typhoid germ. If this is true a typhoid patient will before long have lemonade injected into his body and be well again in week. For blood poisoning an injection of formalin is recommended. Cases have occurred in medical practice where the patient was almost beyond help where the in- jection of the fluid in proper propor- tion brought the sick person back to life again. No doubt people will still die in the world but if discoveries keep on we shall at least stand fair chance of dying of old age.

The leading medical men of the country are feeling rather uneasy over The Bubonic Plague. the fact that the Bubonic plague exists in California and that so far all efforts to stamp it out have failed. There, were P cases of the plague in San Francisco in 1900, 29 cases in 1901 and 49 cases in 1902. The authorities have hard work to drive the plague entirely out of the haunts of the Chinese, as they are not disposed to be the cleanest people in the world. Besides all this, the plague exists on the coast in Mexico, not so very far south of San Francisco, and the germs in this way might be car ried into all the seaports of the state. The authorities and the Marine hospi- tai have attacked the plague with vigor and made some advance in check ing it..

The OUTLOOK.

One rather surprising fact brought out before the strike commission is Miners Restriction of that the mi
 Coal Output. nerS, be- couse of the union, are systematically restricting the coal output. John Mitchell himself frankly admits it. Instead of putting a premium on the best men, the union encourages the men not to produce only the lazy man $ amount of coal per day. That is mighty poor Americanism and very short-sighted policy. What is the country coming to if our labor unions are going to make the lazy man the standard of production ? We are bound to go to the dogs. Before 1900 there was friendship between the mi ner and his boss. The best man made the best pay. Now there is hostility between worker and owner and all get the same pay. Men who used to load eight cars day now load only six and some of them only five, and then they howl about wages.
 k x
 Even when the poor all over the country are suffering for want of fuel the men take lot of holidays, and some of them will not work more than four hours day, and some of them knock off at or 10 o'clock in the morn ing. Such action as that is enough to make the whole country hate the mi ners' union. If, in view of the suffer: ings of the poor in our cities from the cold, the miners will not do their part to alienate it, they ought to lose their jobs.

A FEW WHY'S.

Why do many employers say their
clerks are a stupid lot and unworthy OF
their consideration?
Why do many clerks look with envy
on their employers and rage over every
correction or sharp word?
Why co many persons behave more
courteously and kindly to outsiders
than they do to the ones they really
love the best Of all?
Why do many men laugh at women's
lack of business ability and yet sneeI
and rather look down on the woman
who shows she has some?
Why do many children resent any
thing their parents say and look Oh
them as bores and long to be grown VI
so as to escape from them?
Why do many rich folk look on theii
Door relatives as being always on the
lookout for favors and so prevent the
poor relatives from giving them little
presents or being natural with them?
Why do many husbands work hare
for their wives and family, but never
think how the wife would appreciate
an invitation to the theater, little din
ner at a restaurant, box Of candy oil
some flowers brought home unasked?-

son we were treated with every hu-
name consideration, nothing being left
for the comfort of myself, officers and
crew. To Captain Ferguson and his no
BILE officers and men can add nothing
but grateful thanks"
COMPLAINT OF CONSUL TAYLOR.
Captain Reed and his men complained
that Mr.. Taylor, United States consul at
Glasgow, did not continue the humane
part of Captain Ferguson. The ship
wrecked men say that he not only let
them take care of themselves for awhile,
but furnished them with clothes that
they could not wear. The Messrs. Dom
aldson Brothers. owners of the Hestia
and the KastalIa, which brought them
home, were the most considerate Of
Captain Reed and his crew in Glasgow.
1t is pr0bable a. complaint will be lodged
with the state department by Captain
Reed of the treatment of his men at the
hands of the United States consul at
Glasgow. The Messrs. Donaldson and
Captain Webb, of the Kastalla, were in
strumental in bringing Captain Reed
and his men home. On the Kastalla the
officers and men were supplied with
apartments and comforts BETTING their
position on their own ship.
Captain Reed, of the rescued schoon-
er Blendermann, yesterday recalled an
incident that occurred on board the Hes
tia. The night before the rescue Chief
Engineer McGinty's daughter, who was
on board from visit to Baltimore, was
asking her father if he had ever wit
messed a rescue at sea. He admitted
that in all his experience at sea he new
er had. The child thought it was queer,
as her father had been to sea so long.
Soon after Captain Reed and the crew
of the Blendermann came on board
Chief Engineer McGinty introduced
them to the child, saying: ''Well, Alice,
we have got them this time She was
a favorite with the shipwrecked men
the remainder of the voyage.
The most valuable effects saved from
the wreck of the Blendermann and
which made the rescue possible was a
magazine rifle. Four shots were sent
from it when the Hestia was seen and
then another four were fired, after
which the steamer headed for the posi-
ton from which the flashes from the
explosion were seen. All the men re-
gard the rifle with affection. 1t will he
kept as an heirloom by Captain Reed.
The officer on watch on the Hestia said
the gun flashes were what attracted
his attention. MI a+ g.
