Doctors as Book Buyers.

DOctOfs as BOOK Buyers.
 "The largest part of a doctors equip ment is his books" said dealer. 4Phy- sicians usually keep more closely up with the procession from the viewpoint of books than lawyers. The doctors have to do it, because much of their reputation among their associates de- pends upon the accuracy and the mod ern finish of their knowledge
 "A lawyer can more easily dispense with new law books than doctor with the late medical books. An up to date doctor has 8 much more expensive lf- brary, as rule, than minister, and 1t is almost as expensive, judge, as a lawyers, the difference being that a lawyers whole equipment is books, while doctor must have laboratory and full complement of instruments. !"

INTEREST IS INTENSE.

St Petersburg, Nov 21.-The interest in tne meetings of the zemstyo repre- sentatives is intense. The war and all other questions are temporarily forgot ten. Nothing else is talked of. Lib- erals from all parts of the empire are . Hooking hither, including many from Poland and Finland. The hotel lob bies are crowded, almost resembling convention times in American cities. The permission granted by Interior Minister Syiatopolk AIirsky was for an assembly of 300.
 The participants' friends display complete confidence in the protection afforded by the minister and his most outspoken sentiments. The situation altogether is unparalleled. Nothing approaching such gathering has ever before been permitted in Russia. As evidence of the remarkable state ot affairs, it is sufficient to mention that one of the most prominent speakers yesterday was NJ Petrunkeiyitch, of Tver, who spent twenty-four years in exile and who had only been allowed since Prince Sviatopolk- Iirsky's ad- vent to come to the capital. Neyerthe. less the most able men in the assem- bly are counselling moderation and are doing everything possible to prevent demonstrations which might compel interference. One of tie strongest members of ne conference said to the Associated Press:
 Ne want to make our position plain to the government, but we desire to avoid every appearance of lawlessness. sincerely hope the meeting will be productive Of great good. We hope and expect that all provincial and dis, trict zemstvos will follow our lead and demonstrate to the government that the voice of the nation is unanimous in asking for a direct share in the government by the people" s.
 At the meeting Of the delegates to. day section nine of the memorial by vote of 1O5 to. 3 was strengthened in a practical recommendation for a par lament. the language being changed to a specific declaration in favor of an elective body, not to participate in legislation, but to make rhe country's laws.
 Sympathetic demonstrations are re- ported in various parts of Russia.

THE PATTERSON TRIAL.
Other Jurors Besides Hendricks May
 Ask To Be Excused.

New York, Nov 21.-An element of uncertainty growing out of reports of possible changes in the makeup of the jury was the principal feature of the opening of the second week of the trial of Nan Patterson, the alleged slayer of Caesar Young, the wealthy turfman and race track follower Three days of hard work last week resulted in fill ing the jury box, but at the last mo- ment Foreman Hendricks asked to be excused from service because of the severe illness of a member of his fam fly. No action was taken upon his re quest at that time, but it was an nounced that Justice Vernon Davis would make known his decision when the trial was resumed to-day.
 In the interim between Friday and Monday it became noised about that other jurors would have requests sim liar to that of Hendricks, but for other reasons, to make to-day.
 During the same period it also be- came known that Hyman Stearn, a pawnbroker, who has been spoken of as one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution, was seriously i'll with appendicitis. Whether or not his ill., ness would cause delay in the trial of the case was another question which contributed to the general air of uncer- tainty. Stearn is the man who ap- peared before the grand jury and posi- lively identified the revolver with which Young was shot as one which had been sold by him the day before the tragedy occurred.
 The dull routine which always marks the preliminary stage of 8 trial in capital case has been interspersed with several incidents closely border ing on the sensational and it was ex- pected that big crowds of spectators would clanor for admittance to the court room when the trial was fairly under way.
 During the trial two skeletons, one of a man and another of a woman, will be brought into the court room to be used in demonstrating the theories of the attorneys in the case. One of the skeletons will be used by the pros ecution and the other by the defense.
 There will be no weary testimony Of handwriting experts at the trial, though there will be long periods dur ing which evidence will be introduced to show the probable course of bull let at close range. A blackboard, dia- grams and the human skeletons will be used in this connection. Whether Miss Patterson will go on the stand to testify in her own behalf has not been decided.
 Lawyer Daniel O'Reilly, one of the attorneys for the defense, announced to-day that Miss Patterson's former husband, Louis Martin, from whom she was divorced several years ago, would appear during the trial. Mar tin is hotel clerk and resides in Washington.
 When the trial was resumed to-day Justice Davis declined to excuse Fore man Hendricks and Assistant District Attorney Rand at once began to out line the case of the prosecution.

NOT DEyELoPED YET.

Mukden, Nov 21-The anticipated general attack by the Japanese has not developed as yet. The uncertainty of the present situation gives rise to con fiicting rumors and speculation regard ing future operations. Some expect the Japanese to attempt wide flank ing movement on Tie pass and others claim the armies will practically win ter in their present positions. Con- pIete inactivity prevails. The nights are growing colder and fuel is scarcer Crowds of Chinese are wandering over the fields and roads picking up every thing combustible, even the roots of the Chinese corn.

Kamr Inrenuity.

The following ingenious mode of crossing river was once displayed by a kaffir, who had for some time stood watching the vain attempts of a party of soldiers to cross the stream at a time when to ford it was attended by considerable danger. After smiling at their efforts with that sarcastic ex- pression remarkable among these sav- ager he quietly raised heavy stone, placed it on his head and then walked with perfect ease through the torrent to tha onnnsita Sida.

Benjamin Frank lin's Prospective
 MOther-in-law
One of the Reasons Why
 He Was Objected to.

We read that Benjamin Fs-anklins prospective mother.in-law objected fn him on the ground that he was en- gagged in business already overdone. HE HAD JUST STARTED TO PUB. LISH A NEWSPAPER WHEN THERE WEIRD THREE OTHERS ESTABLISHED IN THIS COUNTRY. Judging from the enormous number o1 ranges already sold in the United States one would imagine that tho wants were already flied, but it's a fact that Glenwood Ranges are so much in demand that twenty tons of iron made every day into Glenwood ranges does not begin to satisfy the demand for them. The Waterbury agents are telegraphing and writing every day hurry up messages for Glenwood Ranges, and have again suc~ ceeded ill having the complete line in stock.
 GIenw00ds the Best Bakers.
 Any range will bake after fashion but such good baking as the Glenwood does is rarely equalled. There are housewives in this city who say that gold couldn't buy their Glenwood # they had to use any other range. Strong talk, but the Hampson,Seilew Go has the proofs of the statements. and there arc several of them. Glen woods are made from the best iron, have heaviest castings and will black up better than any ordinary range. Glenwood prices are lower in Water bury than in most cities throughout New England. That's the Hampson- Sellew way of selling.
 It Will Pay Furniture Buyers to go to the Hampson-Sellew store for their wants Guaranteed qualities and q little better grades than elsewhere at the same price or less.
 Dining Tables of Quality.
 The Hampson- -Sellew Go does not care to sell Dining Tables at ridic1s- lousIy low prices, but they do sell more Dining Tables from $5 upwards than any other store in the state. Grand good tables from $10 to $45, In golden oak, and mahogany tables from $40 to $1O0.
 Beautiful Sideb0ards.
 There are none such sideboard values as the offerings of the Hamp- son-Sellew store. The lines are extra large and well worth your considera~ tion. Take look at them and get ou( for Thanksgiving.
