FRIDAY. JANUARY oo, 1904.

Th editor of the New Britain Her. ald has made known his choice for the democratic presidential candidate. As between Bryan and Hearst he, picks the latter as the better man. If the Herald and a number of the other supposed to be democratic papers had stuck fast few years ago, perhaps things would be different in the demo- cratic party to-day. It certainly could be no worse if Bryan had been. elected on that first trip, and by this time the doubters and kickers would, know his abilities, and qualifications. Say what they will. those editors that
 'swiped" the party in 1896 are the ones that are responsible for the present shattered condition of the party, and 1t is going to take an awful good man and strong leader to unite it again so thoroughly that victory will perch on its banner. M &a s,.zf.

To Dispel .Ennui.

The climate of the great glacier of the Grindelwald in the heart of the Der nese Oberland of Switzerland is an ex- perience that every seeker after new sensations should try, says Kathleen L. Greig, in Four-Track News. He had best prepare himself by resting a few days at Interlaken. Then he may go forth some fine morning with jaunty Alpine hat on his head, stout boots on his feet, feeling og ennui in his heart. and come back minus all three. First he will drive along perfect road through tiny villages, past rainbow tinted meadows full of wild flowers, and turbulent little streams Then the road becomes sleeper. and the scenery about him grows savage. The valley below begins to look very far away, the monster snow-capped Alps frown above him. and at last he approaches the great glacier of Grindelwaldl

COLD STORAGE A BLESSING.
Regulates the Market Prices 0R Per- ishable Commodities, Especially
 an the Line of Fruit.

Few householderB appreciate the debt they owe to the cold storage sys- tenn now so generally In use through put the country. It has become a nea- essary adjunct to the rapidly develop. ing commercial orcharding of the country. It is the reservoir in which tho temporary oversupply of fruit is placed and from which 1t may be uni- formly distributed throughout the year. From the earliest times it has been recognized that some provision must be made to store up tho tempor. ary surplus and distribute it in time of greater need if an industry is to grow into permanency and stability, and if violent fluctuations in supply and demand are to be avoided, says tke Chicago Chronicle.
 The danger of so-called overproduc- ton is greatest in an industry when no provision is made to equalize the distribution of the products through sut the year There can be no general overproduction when the majority of the people of the world are still under supplied. and an industry becomes safe and attractive when man masters the art of handling the temporary pversupply and of converting 1t into : steady uniform supply to an increas- ing number of people.

one of the speakers at the arbitra-
 ton conference at Washington. on
 January 13, was General Miles, lately
 commanding general of the United
 States army. A soldier who spent forty odd years of his life in the mili- tary service of his country, he could speak from experience of the horrors of war and Of the desirab bility of doing away with it. He would like to have arbitration with all nations. During the course of his remarks Y General Miles said: Formerly military forces
 were kept for national defense, but if We shall have reached the time when
 they are to be used to overrun foreign countries and oppress and place in sub lection defenseless people. then the spirit of arbitration has not appeared any too soon and cannot be too strong ly advocated. Possibly we have reached time when the great war powers have found it more agreeable and less expensive to hunt in concert than to hunt each other. If that be true, then liberty may we'll veil her face, and the sovereign rights of man, independence and justice are in immi- nent danger. The enormous expense of war and the burdens it imposes upon the industries of the people of
 many countries will be borne until dis continued by revolution, Or until req. 1 son and justice shall prevail through l international arbitration. One of the ! most gratifying events of modern
 times occurred when the imperial head ! of a mighty nation of 130,000,000 of strong people-the autocrat of all the Russias-called worlds peace con gress and advocated the reduction of
 the burdens of war and the adjustment
 of controversies between nations in a way that would tend to promote the
 universal peace Of the world.'' What's
 the matter with Miles for democratic 1 presidential candidate? It might It

HEART WAS LEATHER

"She lost her heart ter him "--extfact from any popular novel of the deeply sentimental type.
 Once at least it has happened actually. The heart was lost--aetuaIly. The who lost the heart. The only unroman- tic thing about 1t was thst the heart was le@theT.
 "Wsns girl with lsathsr heart" wac the headline they put on the story. That sounded like the cry of dime musuem commercial orator" but that also waa 6 fact.
 The girl with the leather heart was Miss Naomi K. Woods, daughter of Ben iamin F. Woods of San Francisco The man who found the leather heart and won the girl was Wilmot F. Haughton. son of the late Maj. Charles Haughton. of Louisville. Ky
 MT. Woods had refused to allow Haughton to marry his daughter until he had stopped gambling and had saved $2.600 by honest toll
 The way the leather heart comes to figure in the case is thus: Last year the Wholesale Saddlery association, of which Mir. Woods is a member, met in Cleveland and Miss Woods attended the sessions with her father The women at the meeting were presented each with photograph case of morocco leather in the shape of a heart. Miss Woods put her picture in the case and then lost it. the heart and the picture. It was found by Haughton, who was astonished to find 1 the picture that of his old sweetheart l from whom he had been separated by i the edict of her father. Woods was de termined that Haughton should not mar ! rx his daughter, believing, that he gam bled and was not saving. That had been four years before. When Haughton found the picture he carried it to the girl and said:
 "I should like to return this and claim 1 the reward"
 The father found that the young man had stopped gambling and had saved the i necessary s2.50o and accordingly the en- l gagement was announced. :,ss4f ! Here's a stubborn father. This one | was John Dineen, of Yankton, s. D. Ills

Now York's Horse Cars.

Until quite recently New York
was made the laughing stock. Of
every stranger who came here
from Western cities, because Of
the numerous horse cars in use
on cross town lines. Two years
ago it was stated that these din
ky little cars would be done away
with as soon as possible. Since
then there have been many
changes, electricity supplanting
the horse, until there are but few
of the old-time~ horse cars left.
Those that remain are regarded
as "jokes," as it is well known
here that they are kept in use
more for the purpose Of retaining
franchises than for any other rea-
son. There is scarcely horse car
line in town now that hasn't a
nearby competing electric line.
Passengers are so scarce on the
horse cars that when they dc
board thcm,. conductors and driv-
ers seem to feel GtTncumbent up,
on them to keep up a pleasant
conversation throughout the trip

them pending the receipt Of Russia's
explanation. Neither does it place a
time limit upon the response. The note
recites the circumstances Of officers,
saying that fleet of steam trawlers
carrying the established lights was APP
preached. by the Russian squadron,
which threw searchlights upon the YES
sells and then deliberately altered its
formation. One vessel was sunk. two
fishermen were killed. many were
wounded and several vessels were miss
ing after a bombardment of the fish
ing vessels. which lasted for consid-
cradle time. The squadron then sailed
off, leaving vessel of Small tonnage,
which remained on the spot for six
hours. The note points out that the
indignation of the people. heightened
by the inhumane conduct of the con-
ductors of the warship in abandoning
the sinking, crippled trawlers, was fur
ther emphasized by the failure of the
smaller warship to offer or render any
assistance, although il was impossible
for it during all that time to have mis-
taken the true character of the fishing
vessels.
The note concludes with the state
ment that the British government is
awaiting Russia's explanation of this
unjustifiable act pending the receipt o.
which IL reserves its demands.

You carry your opium in pow
