Free Offer Still Open.

Owing to the large number of pa tients who have been unable to secure the services of the Radio -Chemic physicians it has been found necessary to extend the time Df free examination, consultation and advice. During the past weeks their offices have been crowded from morn ing to late at night and many have gone away unable to wait their turn to see the doctors. The list of patients is rapidly being filled and it will soon be impossible to add new names to 1t. The XRay doctors request those who wish to avail themselves of the. gen. erous offer extended to come to the offices before March .Ih- The offer of free X-Ray; examination expires on that day. .

some people always wait until a man is dead before abusing him, and that is what several individnals are now trying to do to the aenfory of the late Senator Hanna. It is pretty poor politics and will not harm the dead senator, but may react on his c,de- nouncers. A friend of the dead man says Hanna was the most serious man he ever talked to. and that his whole concern was about the future of the country. This friend quotes Hanna on a recent occasion as saying that the day is not far distant when we shall have greater crisis in this counL try than any we have yet passed through.

No HoIdup For Canal.

WASHINGTON, March S.--In spite of efforts on the part of MT. William Nelson Cromwell, the attorney of some of the persons who are interested in selling the Panama canal to the Unit ed States, to give the impression that the delay which confronts this govern ment in completing the transaction has been expected and is of no importance it is clear that the delay was unexpect- ed and may be of great importance The government has apparently fully decided that, having entered on the ne gotiatiens in good faith, it will carry them through, but that it will not be prevented from beginning the canal by any subterfuge which may be resorted to to becloud the title in the hope of holding up'' the, United States for q larger sum than $40,0O0,O0O.

 If the democratic party, ill it's in finite wisdom, decides that Mir Cor man of Maryland of right ought to be president of the United States, and the republican party, in convention assem- bled, declares that MT Roosevelt should succeed himself, the voters of the country will have before them the most clearly contrasted candidates fn the history of the republic, says "a writer in Leslie's Monthly. In every characteristic that helps to make MI Roosevelt what he is, MT German is his direct and absolute opposite. Tn every theory or principle of human ac- political, governmental and per, sonal--that MT German has preached by practicing, Nr Roosevelt sees naught but wrong.

The loss is estimated at $23,- 900, When the fremen once got at the source of the fire it was soon put out, but not before it had spread to the air shaft of the Elwood building, on State street, an office building, causing a general exit of the tenants.

The Bristol Press is still keeping LIE its discussion for better railroad facil. ities between that town and Water bury, and in a recent issue had the fol lowing: Hast week we advocated in these columns better week day train service between Waterbury and Bris tol; during the last few days our at tention has been called to the fact that the distance from Bristol to New Yorl, via Waterbury and the Naugatuck di vision is five miles less than the rail road mileage via the Northampton di vision. Bristol and Terryville could therefore become feeders to the Naug atuck division trains to New York provided there were better connections at Waterbury. The connections there however, are about as bad as they could be. The morning train leaving Bristol at 7:33 reaches Waterbury a S:05, just ten minutes after the New York train has left. At noon, the trai1 leaving Bristol at f:10 misses thu down train on the Naugatuck division by only five minutes. We do not pre- sume to give any advice as to how these better connections could bt brought about, but we do know tha better connections at Waterbury would be very much appreciated, and VI should think that this end could be ob tained by running an extra train be tween Bristol and Waterbury, as il done on Sundays. This train need no carry a baggage car, but merely pas senger coaches and could be manned b. a crew of four men,

TRENTON FLOODED. Worst Experience In the His
 tory of the City.
EATER ROSE 20 FEET IN 20 EINuTES
sennsyIvania Tracks Under Water. Two City Bridges Carried Away by the Rising Water, and
 the Third Is In Danger.

TRENTON, N. J., March S.-Trenton is facing the worst flood i'll the history of the city. Under the influence of the heavy rains of the last two days the ice up the river is breaking and piling rp behind the ice jam at Perri- wig bar.
 All of the South Trenton district is threatened, and the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad between New York and Philadelphia is under water, but the trains are still making their way through the flood.
 In twenty minutes the river rose twenty feet, and the dwellers along the river shores were panic stricken. So rapid was the rise of the river in south Trenton that families seated at supper had no warning until the water poured in on the floors. The flood had been looked for for weeks, and boats were lying tied to most of the houses, and many families escaped by them. Many thrilling escapes are reported, but only one serious case of injury and no deaths. ,
 From this city the Delaware opposite the statehouse looks more like & mighty lake than river.
 At midnight the water was five inches higher than it was during the flood of last October, which held the record for high water. The flood is still rising, and thick fog has settled down over the river and city. The wa ter has now flowed into the city pump ing station, and the fires under the boilers have been dIawn. This is the first time in the history of the pump ing station that water has reached the fires
 The water is flowing into the base ment of the capitol, and the firemen at the boilers are wading around in two feet of water, which brings the flood to within ten inches of the grates In another hour the fires will have to be drawn.
 Two city bridges over the water pow CT stream which runs along the side of the river for distance of ten miles have been washed away. The newly made state capitol park is being wash ed away. The city authorities have closed the passenger bridge over the river, as they fear it will go before the great pressure of the down flowing ice -ua. >
