THANKS HIS TUTORS.
Emperor William Says rhey Laid
Good Foundation.

Berlin, Aug 2e.-Emperor William,
in a speech at the great banquet CIV
en- at Cassel yesterday attributed his
restless activity and zeal for the coun-
try to the discipline of his tutors. His
majesty attended the gymnasium at
Cassel and received instruction at the
same time from a number of private
teachers, chief of whom was Professor
Hinzpeter, now retired.
.'The very earnest and constant pre-
paration that / received said the en-
peror, made me capable of putting
on my shoulders the burden of work
which is becoming heavier from day
to day. Although my teachers were
aware of the responsibilities they had
undertaken and utilized every hour
and minute to prepare me for my
high calling. none of them had a clear
provision Of what an immense burden
of labor and what depressing weight
he has to carry who is responsible for
b8, 100000 Of Germans. Not for a mo-
metn do regret the studies I at that
time thought severe, and may truly
cay that work. and the life OF work
Nas become my second nature"

CHEssoN SPEAKS HIs MIND.
Says Republican Nomination Belongs

Says Republican Nomination Belongs
to Man That Gets It.
A Waterbury man whose name mas
been mentioned on and off In conpec-
ton with the republican nomination for
mayor, told a reporter to-day that the
reported bridging of the differences be-,
tween the two democratic committees
knocked the mayoralty bug out OF his
ear and hethoughtit had asmiidar effect
upon others, too. Prior to that there
were many willing to enter the race,
but nobody cares to try now. He said
that the republicans are not doing al
thing and he didn't believe they would
make q move until they see what thaA
other fellows will do. He believed d
united democracy can carry Waterbury
any time and the smoothing over OF the
trouble between the two committees
has led far seeing republicans to con-
c1ude that there Is danger of having 10
face solid opposition this time. But
he was not discouraged, and dismissed
the subject with the remark that it
was a long time from now until cleo
tion and was hopeful that something
would turn up in the meantime which
would create big row in the demo
cratic camp.
It was said to-day that there Is cons
siderable had feeling between the
friends of Alderman Chesson and AL
derman Blakeslee, both candidates for
the mayoralty nomination. the latter
claiming that Chesson didn't come Into
tho race until the eleventh hour while
their man has been in it for over haIf
a year. Chesson's hackers claim that
the office belongs TO anybody that can
get 1t and wants to know what
right q few men have to claim 1t for
Mr. BlakesIee or anybody else.
Al few OF the inner guard of the re-
publican town committee have held

Little progress is being as yet made
towards the formation of another drug
clerks union in this city. Tha leaders
in the movement, however, are doing
their work slowly and gradually and
making sure of their foothold before
taking any definite step. Some OF the
proprietors do not favor very much
such an organization and the clerks
do not care to incur their displeasure
or anger. Since the withdrawal of the
drug clerks from the national union
and from affiliation with the local
Central Labor union, very little inter
est has been manifested in the doings
OF the association by the majority OF
the members. The meetings have been
attended by about a bakers dozen.

PosToFFICE ROBBED.
Robbers Dynamited the Safe at Ridge
field This Morning.

Ridge1eld, Aug 29.-Burglars early
to-day blew open the safe IN the Ridge
field postof1ce and escaped with its
contents. AS the men, believed to be
two In number, were leaving the build
ing they were discovered by Constable
Taylor, who Is employed nearby as
watchman, but by means of a horse
which they had previously taken from
the barn of Postmaster Barnhite they
succeeded in outdistancing Taylor,
who, however, kept UP the chase,
emptying his revolver as he ran. The
bullets apparently took no effect.
Later the horse was discovered some
miles from town where 1t had been
abandoned.
The safe, which was completely de.
molished, was used only to keep the
postoffice books. while in d vault near
at hand is kept the receipts Of the gen
eral store, which is kept by Mr. Barn
ite. In this vault there was a sum
of nearly 5000 which the burglars
passed over.

After Men Who Blew Up Savings
Bank Vault.

The Robbers Secured About $500
: They Fled to the Woods and Are
Now Dodging the officers a Few
Miles From Bangor.
Bangor, Me. Aug 29.-The four or
five men who demolished Lne vault OF
the Brewer Springs bank, last night,
We're lodging an armed posse in the
woods beyond Bangor. The robbers,
who are thought to be desperate char
acters attracted to Bangor by the east
ern Maine state fair, secured $500, as
most Of the money In the bank was
placed in Bangor vaults at the close OF
business, Brewer being just across
ts~a river from this city.
The burglars worked nearly half an
hour, firing three or four charges, the
last at 1:5T a. m., before gaining en-
trance to the vault. During this time
number of Brewer people, aroused
by the first explosion, watched the
burglars from across the street, max
ing no attempt to modest them, because
of the guns. One man who shouted
was deliberately fired upon. When
the robbers left the bank they retreat
ed under cover of their guns, firing a
dozen shots, They also exchanged
fire with Bangor policemen who tried
to intercept them as they crossed the
bridge to this city, but apparently no
one was hit.
Nearly score of policemen, deputy
sheriffs and citizens armed themselves
as soon as possible, took UP the trail
at once.
The bank is located ON the second
floor Of q wooden building on Center
street and 1t Is supposed the burglars
entered the second story windows.
Two OF them did the safe blowing,
while the others watched and protect
ed them.
The explosions were about ten min
utes apart. The contents of the room
were damaged and the windows In the
front part of the office were blown
out. Crowbars and tools found In the
bank were identified as having been
taken from the railroad section house.
The cracksmen were not considered
experts, though kit of burglars tools
was found in the railroad yard
through which they aed.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-The cotton mar
ket was quiet today, but considerably
frmer under the bullish influence OF
better Liverpool cable dispatches than
had been expected. The Liverpool mar
ket advanced six to seven points on fu-
lures as result of what was report
ed to have been a general covering
movement among shorts. The move
ment of the crop for the week was also
regarded as less favorable than had been
expected.
New Orleans and other bull inter
ests again appeared as heavy buyers.
especially of the December option. These
developments coming on q sold out and
oversold market, caused considerable
nervousness among shorts, and prices
advanced to a maximum OF about ten
points throughout the list OF options
The bears resisted the Improvement, but
there was little selling pressure outside
OF their own offerings. and the market
maintained most OF this improvement up
TO the close.
Spot markets were steady and gener-
ally unchanged. Today's prices were as
follows: October, 9.1999.20; December,
92S4929; January 9.26G927; March,
9.31Q9.32; May, 9.36@9.37.
The market closed steady.
