Railroad Holding Up Work.

Tho last appropriation was made by
Congress in 1896 when there was included
in the river ana harbor bill S25ooO for
continuing the work on the canal and to
be used between the Delaware Bay and
Indian river. There was a proviso. how
ever, to the effect that no part OF tho ap-
preparation be expended until the right
Of way should he secured without cost to
the United States.
This proviso did rct include that a
right Of way should be secured over or
through any railroad but that sroh right
Of way be secured by condemnation pro-
lceedngs. Three years after the passage

HOW TO INSURE HAPPINESS
The Joy of Living Is Often Lost Through Overlooking Small
 Pleasures.


 Many of us miss the joys that might be ours by keeping our eyes fixed on those of other people. No one can en- joy his own opportunities for happl- ness while he iss envious of another's, says Success. We lose great deal of the joy of living by not cheerfully ac- cepting the small pleasures that come to us every day, instead of longing and wishing for what belongs to others We do not take any pleasure in our own modest horse and carriage, be- cause we long for the automobile or victoria that some one else owns. The edge is taken off the enjoyment Of our own little home, because we are watching the palatiaI residence of our neighbor. We can get no satisfaction out of a trolley ride into the country or 8 sail on river steamer, because some one else can Snjoy the luxury of his own carriage or yacht. Life has it's full measure of happiness for every one of us, if we would cnly make up our minds to make the very most of every opportunity that comes our way, instead of longing for the things that come our neighbours way.

NOGI IN HOSPITAL.
Japanese Commander at Port Arthur Hors de Combat.
GREAT NAVAL FIGHT IS IMMINENT.
ROiestvensly'a Fleet, Approaching sumatrn, Ia Being Watched For by Kamimura With Strong
 Cruiser Squadron.

LONDON, Dec. 2S. - It is evident that Port Arthur is near to its fall as Peiyu mountain, to whose base the Japanese have penetrated, is directly over the eity itself, the environs nes- tling on its eastern base and the dock yard, where the Russian fleet was sunk, being on it's western base. It is in the rear of the great Etseshan, Antz- shan, Wangtai, Ehrlung, Sungshu and keekwan forts, that have so long held the besiegers at bay.
 If the Japanese are able to hold this new position and bring up re-enforce- ments they can drive home their wedge immediately and take all the forts in the rear As it is they now hold new positions that place the whole Russian line fnperiI.
 A special from Japanese headquar- ters at Port Arthur says that General Nogi was severely wounded by rife bullets in the arm and leg while direct ing operations at Two Hundred and Three Meter hill.
 Every cable from the far east is ex- peeted to bring news of the great sea fight which is imminent between the great Baltic fleet under Admiral Ro- testvensky, and the Japanese fleet, tIn- der Vice Admiral Kamimura. The Russian fleet rounded South Africa more than a week ago and was steam ing north when Kamimuga, in com mand of strong fleet of cruisers and torpedo boats, sailed out from Port Arthur to give battle
 On the same day twenty Russian ships which went by way of the suez canal under Rear Admiral Von Poker sham were reported above Jibutil, of the western coast of Africa.
 Two places are suggested for the meeting between the Russians and Japanese one at Minicoy, off the In dian coast, and the other at Sunda strait, or the coast of Sumatra
 The route the Russians expected to take, so it is said, is through the strait of Sunda
 The belief here is general that the meeting of the formidable fleets will mean the destruction of one or the other.

SIGHTSEEING IS A STRAIN
Headaches Invariably Follow the Con- stant Use of Elevator Mus
 cles of the Eye.

Academy" or ''sightseers' head ache is a not uncommon experience, and some recent observations of Simeon Shell, London, appear to throw some light on its causauion. Allowing thatin certain instances astigmatisn or other forms of ametropia is q factor In its production, he yet argues that there are other influencing conditions. In sup port of this he quotes the experience Of 8 woman who always suffered from ss- we're headache after visiting the the ater when she had occupied q seat in the pit, but was free from such disturb ance when she sat in the dress circle. In the first position, it is pointed out, sustained action of the elevator mus cles of the syeballs Is required in order to see the stage, and this is exactly the action which is required in study ing a collection of pictures, and more especially in looking at those which are hung "above the line" The same ex- perience has been noted by MT. Shell, in the case of cyclists, particularly of those who lean over the handle bars with the head lowered, and who, there fore, in looking ahead keep the eyebalis upward. A further argument is found in the experience of miners nystagmuE, which 1t Is suggested is due to wsari-i ness of the elevator muscles of the 0ye- balls, caused by the constrained posi- tfon in which the miners work. There can be no doubt of the physiological fact that lateral movement of the eyeballs is much more easy and requires less muscular effort than movement in a vertical plane. All this goes tosshow that muscular strain is involved in sus. tained upward movement of the eye balls. and this may we'll result in a sense of Weariness or more pronounced dis- comfort.

MODERN PILGRIM VILLAGE.
Town of Duxbury at Plymouth Bay
 h as Picturesque as in Antiquity.

{ Quaintly picturesque is the little Pill
 grim town of Duxbury, declares Austin
 Cook, in Four-Track News. The water of Plymouth bay washes it's long sandy
 beach, while to the south rises the green slope of Captains hill. It was the sec ond settlement made by our forefathers, and still clinging to it are the memories of those early days. Miles Standish was the ruling spirit and at one time owned the greater part of the village. Who does not feel personal affection for the "redoubtable" captain, with his quick temper and his warm heart? Although not at that time a member of the Pilgrim communion, he left all the wealth and luxury of his ancestral home in England, and cast his lot with these devout and sincere people, and most efficiently did he serve them. Before they left the
 'Maynower" he was chosen military commandant. and soon proved his cour- age by penetrating into an Indian en- campment and dealing with them so summarily that ever after they stood in awe of the man, "who tho little in stat
 ure, was great in strength"

 Jacques }. SS
VAUDEVILLE.

It is long time since Rlce's Evan geline' played in Waterbury, but not very remote that the remembrance of Fanny Rice's work in that most re- markable of extravaganzas has been forgotten. The peculiarly personal style of comedy which Miss Rice pos sesses was never displayed to better advantage than in the piece which made Walter Jones a celebrity almost uL>a night, and yet the act which she is presenting at the Jacques this week is in it's way as uniquely interesting as anything she has ever done. k 1t is an offering so far removed from the beaten path Of vaudeville attractions that it is not strange that it was, con sidered worthy of the Keith circuit for many months. The exquisitely colored electric parasoI which is used as an Accompaniment to the pretty little dance with which the act opens comes in for a big share of attention from the ladies. Anyone who knows the joys of a broken gas pipe will appre- ciate the fareical situation in William H. Sloan's sketch, "The Plumber" MT Sloan and his capable company has al' ready made such a tremendous hit that it threatens to corner the laughter market altogether. MT Sloan's make up is an achievement in facial compo
 sition and the arrangement of his hair enough to make a blonde Circassian beauty brunette for envy. The Brit tans, Adair and Dahn, Harry B. Les ter, the Aliens, Keno, Walsh and Mel rose and the electrograph furnish dt- version enough to satisfy the most eX- acting. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20, ladies 10.

WAR ON THE TRUSTS
Attorney General Opens or
 Paper Combination.
NEWSPAPER MEN MADE COMPLAINT
InjunctiOn Sought Nm Minnesota Courts Against General Paper COm- pany, ChaF@Ene NEonopo1ies In
 Restraint of Trade.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 2S.--Attorney General Moody for the United States, through United States District Attor- ney Haupt and Frank B. Kellogg and James M. Beck, special assistant attor- neys general of the United States, late yesterday filed petition in the United States district court, in which he makes the General Paper company the prin- cipal defendant and twenty-five other paper companies throughout the states of Wisconsin and Michigan party de fendants in a suit to enjoin them and restrain them from doing business through the General Paper company as the sales agent in violation of the pro- visions of sections one and two of the act of congress approved July 2, en- titled "an act to protect trade and com merce against unlawful restraints and monopolies.'
 The petition alleges that the defend ants entered into an agreement to com bine and control the sale of the product of the different companies through the General Paper company in that the General Paper company regulated prices, sales and shipment and territory for the sale of the same and after de-. ducting operating expenses of the Gen. eral Paper company divided the surplus among the members of the corporation.
 The petition recites that the General Paper company was organized under the laws of Wisconsin, May 26, 1900, with B capital stock of $100, ,000, divid ed into 1000 shares, which were dis tributed among and are now held by certain of the defendants named and that later the others were taken into the combination, naming them in the order fin which they entered the combi- nation, and goes on to Estate that the General Paper company became the ex- elusive selling agent for the defendants with absolute power to control the out put of the various mills, fix the price of all paper sold and to whom and upon what terms and conditions the paper should be sold and into what states and places it shall be shipped and what publishers and other customers each mill shall supply.
 The petition alleges that in conse- quence of the combination all compe- tition in the manufacture, sale and dis tribution of paper had been restricted and the price of all paper products greatly. increased, particularly that of news print paper, which has been in- creased about 50 per cent.
 The court is asked to declare the al legged combination unlawful and that the defendants be perpetually enjoined from doing any act in pursuance of the same.
 Attorney General Moody at Washing ton last night gave out the following official statement regarding the suit:
 s'On the complaint of many newspa- pers last spring that combination in restraint of commerce existed among manufacturers of paper to control the distribution and sale of their products l among the states of the Union, the de pertinent of justice began an investiga- tion of that subject, resulting in the present action"

FIERCE STORM RACES
Efforts to Save Drumelzie1
 Barred by Heavy Surf.
CAPTAIN AND CREW MAY PERISH.
Fog So Thick and Sens So Heavy That Rescue Work Is Almost Im- possible, as 1t Stops Communi-

possible, as It Stops COmmuni-
 cation With Wrecked Vessel.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2S,-Effprts to learn whether Captain Nicholson and the crew of the British tramp steamer Drumelzier are still aboard the vessel, which is aground on the bar at Fire is land, have been unsuccessful, and last night the life savers were still watch ing from the beach in the hope of com municating with the ship.
 Hidden in a black fog and pounded by fierce seas rolling from the south east the steamer is in imminent danger of going to pieces. If her captain and crew of thirty two men are still in the ship they face an almost certain death in the heavy surf breaking over the sandy beach.
 The captain would not let the life savers take off his crew yesterday when the seas were not running so high, and it is now too late to help them. No lifeboat in the world could be launched in the teeth of the southeast gale that lashed up great waves and crashed them down on the shore.
 The wind freshened from the south east, and the waves came in so fierce and heavy that the men on the beach said there was no chance for any one on board the DrumeIxier. The only hope was that the wrecling tugs had rescued the crew in the darkness.
 The fog was so thick that the strand ed vessel could not be seen from the shore, 200 yards away. Out on the sand bar, where the big vessel was last seen rocking in the waves, there was nothing to be seen but a black haze, so dense that not even signal rockets could be seen from shoIA
 The surf was too high for lifeboat to be launched, and 1t was impossible to get in communication with the Drumelzier. Should the weather clear an effort will be made to shoot a line to the Drunelzier, but it was feared that the ship would go to pieces before that is possible.
 The Drumelzier belongs to the Astral Shipping company of Liverpool, Eng land, but is under charter to Barber & Go. Until recently she was used be- tween Baltimore and Daiquiri. Cuba. and her last two trips were very excit- ing. She encountered hurricane that stove in all her boats and put a hole in her side. Three days overdue, she hobbled into Havana. Her crew con- sists of thirty two men with Captain Nicholson, First Mate Hutchinson, Sec ond Mate Smith, Third Mate Richard son and Chief Engineer Wood
