CLEVELkND'S TELLING
SPEECH at newark.

Newark, n. j., Nov. 4.-With a
tribute to the strength and enthusi-
asm of the first voter, former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland. in this city
tonight began his second speech Of
the present campaign. He waited ten
minutes for the cessation Of the cheer
ing and noise that his appearance
brought forth, and for thirty five
minutes after he began his address g.
600 person, crowded together on the
,tanbark of riding academy, alternate
ly listened and cheered
The occasion was the closing Demo
cratic rally of the campaign, a rally
under the auspices of club of "First
voters. '''
The meeting was scheduled for $50
O'Clock and the former President was
the permanent chairman, but as early
as 6 O'Clock the crowds swarmed
around the building, and extending
across the street, blocked the thorough
fare.
Upon Mr.. Cleveland's appearance
the platform cheer after cheer rolled
from one end of the armory to the
other. Men stood upon chairs twirliug
hats upon canes, women waved hand
kerchiefs, and clapped their gloved
fingers, while occasionally, as though
in the distance, the strains of pa
triotic air from the band could be
heard. For ten minutes the former
President stood bowling and smiling in
acknowledgment and repeatedly at
tempting to address the crowd. A half
way quiet was then restored and the
speech was begun only to be inter-
rupted by another outburst that last
ed for three minutes more. It was
only when the audience was drowned
into silence by the Kisses of those de-
sirous of having the former President
proceed that Mr.. Cleveland could go
on.
Mr.. Cle7eland's remarks upon the
needs of a conservative Government
were received with an outburst al
most equal to that at Mr.. Cleveland's 8
entrance into the hall, and when he
concluded with this appeal: "That
the American people may be aroused
to their sense of justice by these sem
timents,'' the audience was on its
feet, while at the last words of the
speaker rallying his hearers to the
support of "tbat noble, that manly
standard bearer, Alton B. Parker"
the enthusiasm seemed to gain renew
ed strength.

Humanity and VIZ.

III view OF the great Russo japanese
War and President Roo>evelt's call to
the nations for new Peace Confer
ence. Golfers tor November IL says: ::
This is the era of the humane.
Even peace is gaining, although the
humane in war gains much faster.
Religion becomes yearly simpler. 1t
translates itself from complexities Of
into facts of daily note. 1t
becomes in part science, with laws
fortified by observation. 1t gives al
most a promise that the whole world
may sometime dwell on the same es.
sentials. Japan is called g heather
country, and she is. i'll some ways eth
ically below the West, but her clever
ness-even if it be nothing more-is
enabling her to see with startling
quickness and precision that certain
superstitions are in her way. The
latest illustration, following quickly
on what We hear Of her sanitary vigi-
lance, is her termination to release,
after recovery. all Russian prisoners
who are permanently disabled. Thus
60 humanity and practical acuteness
work i'll concord. We observe that one
of Count Tolstoi's sons has written to
a Russian paper, praisipg war. and
uufoldiog conviction that Russian
destiny includes the mastery of the
world, steps to this end being the alb
sorption of adjacent nations and the
ousting of Great Britain from Egypt
as we'll as India. Tolstoi's daughter
is also combative, being president of u
committee of female aristocTats form
ed for the encouragement Of volun
teers. ENGLAND, after the performance
of the Baltic feet, showed how far
from extinction is the spirit of war,
but at the same time the submission
to reason by both Russians and English
showed how the desire to avoid war
may grow without the willingness to
Sight when necessary being lost. The
world is not losing the martial viz
tues in the REGION Of commerce and
the peaceful arts, put it is gaining in
humanity and in reason as applied
to war.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 7.-McCaldo.
one of the three officers who landed
from the Baltic feet at Vigo and who
proceeded to St. Petersburg, is not a
naval officer, but Major in the
army. He was simply Admiral Ro-
jestvesky's guest and intended to land
at Viog when the feet left Baltic.
The fact that Admiral Reiestyensky
left him behind as a responsible off
Ger who would give details of the Dog

mockery to England. It is stated
that the Gar loaded McClado with
houors and that the Russians are
secretly hilarious over the farce.

RUN DOWN BY TROLLEY.
William Derwin Received Serious In-
 juries on North Main Street.

William Derwin of Ayers street was knocked down and seriously injured last night by a trolley car at the junc- tion of Cooke and North Main streets. About 7:30 o'clock, while passing from one side of the street to the other on the crossing. a trolley car came along and struck him, knocking him down and rendering him unconscious. He was carried into McCullom's drug store, where Dr Graves and Dr Good rich dressed his injuries, after which he was removed to the Waterbury hos pital. MT Derwin is we'll known resident of Waterbury, and was for many years in the employ of the Smith & Griggs Manufacturing Go as teamster. The car that hit him was in charge of Motorman Allingham and Conductor Shannon. It is q bad spot and people who pass there regularly claim that the electric cars go over that crossing at rate of speed which is positively dangerous. Mir Derwin Is bruised on the side of the head and in other places, but it is not thought that he is permanently injured At the hospital to-day he recognized rela- t1ves who called to see him.

Do you know that out in one of the states of the middle west one of my
 books was taken out of the schools be- cause it contained statement that . frog which I watched caught and swal- lowed sparrow?" asks writer in an exchange. "The probability of this was debated for an hour or more, and it was then decided that no frog could croke down a sparrow, and the book was withdrawn. They did not happen to know that frogs sometimes grow to a length of 16 inches. There is a man in the upper part of Connecticut who has number of frogs as long as that, :, he said, spreading his hands to indi- cate the length.

 on Question Yesterday.

 Nearly two years ago the health officer of this board made the follow ing order; copy of which is herewith annexed.
 March 10th. 1902 B. w. Tinker,
 Superintendent of Schools.

 Inasmuch as this action of the health officer was sustained and made effective by the action of those in con- trol of the public schools. no action was taken by this board of which he is the executive officer. After the lapse of nearly two years, the board of education has very properly declin- ed further responsibility for the main- tenance and enforcement of m order emanating from this board The, health officer therefore desires that at \ this time under more specific provis- ions of the city charter this board make an order relative to the vaccina- ton of school children.
 I therefore offer the following order and votes and move their adoption by this board.
 An order relating to the vaccination of school children.
 Be 1t ordered by the Commissioners
 of Public Health of the City of

 The resolutions were seconded py Jones and passed unan- imously. ,,.,,. The monthly and miscellaneous bllis were read and approved.
