SQUIRRELS ARE HANDY.

The "handiness" of the squirrel is something extraordinary in the ani- nal world. He sits upon his hind paws and uses the fore paws in many ways just as a man does. He strikes with it and wards off a blow from an- other, and their little squirrels rarely gofurtherthanattempt to cuff each other like children. A lady who lives in country, and who is the protector of squirrels in that region, told me that she had contrived a littlerackto be filled with nuts, so that they came to the opening singly, one dropping into the place as another was taken out; and thisWasfxed by her window so that she could watch the squirrels come. One day squirrel took the last nut, and was quietly eatingit on the window bench, when another came, and ,findingnone in the rack, went up to the eating squirrel and gave him a deliberate box on the ear and went away.-W. J. Stillman in the August Century.

THE TROLLEYMEN.
THEIR COMMITTEE MEETS PRES. MELLEN

A Lengthy Interview Given--The Conn mittee State Their Case FuIIy--PresI-

 September ;.
 President MelIen of the Consolidated Railway company returned to his office in this city from an outing at Stock bridge, Mass, yesterday morning and at o'clock in the afternoon went into a conference with the executive commit tee of the trolieymen of the New Haven section of the Consolidated system, with referene to their request for an 1 increase of pay to 25 cents an hour, and 30 cents for overtime work. This request has already been declin- ed. it will be remembered, by General Manager J. K. Punderford, and by Cal vert Townley the assistant to the pres 1 ident, and who represents F. H. Me- Henry, the fourth vice president of the steam road, who is also vice president of the Consolidated Railway company. l There were eleven members of the executive committee of the trolleymen to appear before MT. Mellen as follows: President James H. Burke, F. D. Jor- don, Charles Minnix. William Butler, Conductor J. J. White, Motorman J. J. White, Thomas Wrinn, T, Deskin, M. Norton, James Lynch, secretary, and W. Kinney. Deskin and Norton are new men on the committee. All of the committee are old employees of the road. There was long conference, and, it is understood, MT. Mellen heard in full the statements of the men, with his ex- ecutive officials.
 At the close of the conference Presi- l dent Mellen announced to the commit tee he would give them an answer on Tuesday, September 5, at D. m.

SWIMMERS MUST BE FAT.

The guest of Yale University whom Dr. William G. Anderson, Director of the Gymnasium, describes in his article in Making a Yale Athlete in Evary- body's, could not understand why cer- tain group of college athletes should look so "soft."
 The Director explained: That is our championship swimming team. No wonder you thought they looked fat and luxurious. But a thin man doesn't stick to swimming as a sport. He becomes chilled before he Is tired, for the water absorbs heat from every square inch of him. Those fellows look as sleek as seals, but they are well muscled beneath the adipose tissue that keeps their bodies warm while in the water. The swimmers work hard in the gymnasium, but fine muscular framework does not make the fine swimmer. He has natural fondness for the sport and builds himself up for it. He is a pretty confirmation of this theory of athletic selection.'A

THE ENL1GHTEN1NG OF CHIN.

THE ENLTGHTENING OF CHINA. 1 The earliest knowledge which the
 empires Of eastern Asia had of the peoples of western Europe was brought them by sample. It came in the guise | of heavily armed ships overcrowded
 with buccaneers, freebooters, sea rob- bers, men astonishly like Drake and
 Hawkins, with whom the average i reader is familiar. It need hardly be said that the introduction thus effected was not satisfactory Indeed, it was 1 misleading to the Asiatics, extremely painful, and horribly expensive. Much l later came a different type of Euro pean into the Far East, in the shape of | missionaries of the Catholic church. | These were eventually expelled from tthe several empires of China, Japan and Korea, not because of the strange religion which they taught, nor for
 their good works, many of which still remain; but because of repeated and persistent efforts to interfere with the | politics or civil government of the state. The inception of modern &C., ! quaintance and relations between western Europe and the Far East was even more unfortunate. So far as China is concerned, it was accom- | plished in connection with an attempt, persisted in for a score of years, and
 ultimately successful to fasten upon an immense race the most horrible and deadly curse known among men. The common laws of humanity, the wise | statutes and moral sense of a heathen . nation were ruthlessly thrust aside and
 sacrificed, in order to satisfy the money lust of so-called Christian power. It
 is true that no such conscienceless out
 rage was perpetrated upon Japan And
 it is equally true that the subsequent | history of Japan has been far different,
 far brighter than that of opium cursed

Son Married Sunday Night and Wife
 Dies Monday.
 From the heights of joy that accom- pany the celebration of a wedding to the depths of the shadow of depth is the transition that Samuel Klein, a fruit dealer of 278 Cedar street, has ex- perienced during the past few days. On Sunday night his son Louis was married to Miss Rose Lublinski and after joyous celebration of the event the couple departed on their honey moon Monday morning.
 On Monday evening Mrs. Klein, who was indisposed, but not seriously, it was thought, died of dropsy. Klein is deeply sorrow-stricken over his wife's death, and the fact that the sons des- tination was kept a secret and he is unable to locate him adds to his dis treSs

Insular Affairs in General.
wish TO call the attention of the Con-
press 10 one question which affects our IN
suisr possessions generally; namely, the
need of an increased liberality in the treat
ment of the whole franchise question in
these islands. In the proper desire to pre-
vent the islands being exploited by specu-
lators and 20 have them develop IN the IN
terest of their own people an error mas peea
made IN refusing to grant sufficiently hp-
erai terms TO induce the investment or
American capital in the Philippines ana IA
Porto Rico. Elsewhere in this message L
have spoken strongly against the jealousy
of mere wealth, and especially CT corporate
wealth as such. But IL is particularly re-
grettable to allow any such Jealousy 10 pe
developed when We are dealing either WITH
our insular or with foreign affairs. The Dig
corporation has achieved its present posi-
ton in the business world simply because
II is the most effective instrument in pusi-
ness competition. In foreign affairs We can
not afford to put our people al uisao-
vantage with their competitors by in any
way discriminating against the efficiency OF
our business organizations In the same
way we cannot afford to allow our insular
possessions TO lag behind in Industrial Ge-
veIopment from any twisted Jealousy OF
business success. II is of course, mere
struism to say that the business interests
of the islands will only be developed II II

one of the things most earnestly to De

themselves We have been paying all posi-
sihle heed to the political and educational
interests of the islands, but, important,
though these objects are. II Is not less mn
portant that we should favor their INDUS

mischievous little fellow while in
school. He ought to know that
all boys have not been guilty of
habitually breaking rules in
school. This is just as true as the
saying that all boys must SOW
their wild oats, and we all know
this is not true. A little refec-
ton along this line is necessary.
A child that is properly trained
while young is not apt to go
astray when he is old. A wiser
man than either of us said this,
liz substance, and we have no rea-
son to doubt It. "Find a ure for
a desire to drink and | will be

are many desire in the hearts OF
mon that are hard to cure. Many
men would commit murder were
it not for the penalty attached.
Many more than do, would steal
were it not for the punishment
that would follow theft. There
are laws against every species OF
CRIME, yet all sorts of crimes are
committed. Shall we render these
laws null and void because they.
are sometimes broken? Shall all
restrictions be removed and give
the liquor business full sway just
because there are violations of the
law? The advocates of the dis
pensary hold exactly the position
that Aaron did when Moses went
upon the mount to receive the
law. Aaron was left in charge of
the camp, and the people were
clamoring for something that was
not good for them something
that would utterly destroy soul
and body. Aaron humored their
ungodly whims. He ordered that
all ear rings and other gold jew
elry be brought and cast into the
mold, which was i'll the fire, and
thus a golden calf, All idol to
worship was modelled. About this
time Moses put in his appearance,
and Aaron to clear his own skirt,
said to Moses II cast it into the
fire, and there came out this calf
Aaron was u leader and better
things were expected of him, but
he plelded to the common cry or
demand. Will our friend excuse
himself upon the ground that he
does not drink? Does that re-
move his responsibility in the
least? There must be leaders in
all movements for reform, and
there will be leaders against all
movements for reform. "Am I

and well-to-do man. 1t is the
wage-earner. The morsels that
should be given to the needychild-
rem are given to the dispensary
and in turn the money is sent out
of the state for more liquor and
the wage-earner again spends his
all to crafty his cravings and the
money goes in the same way.
There is one class whose. Golfers
are filled by q dlspensary, and
only one that we can see, and that
is that of the lawyer. This traffic
always increases his business by
adding crime upon crime.
We love to see lawyers, as we'll
