their families, away from the Soldiers
Home, that the government will dis
continue an appropriation Of about
10000 per year for their support.
The Board of Control hesitates to per.
NIT "colonization," as it is called,
which the new law provides for, with
this loss as an inevitable result. The
State appropriation will be inadequate
without governmental support, which
is positively withheld from any State
Home which contributes in any way
to support OF the family OF the soldier

year for clothing. of those who want
to live with their families. Still they
threaten to mandamus the State au-

TIE FIvE-WHEELED Automobile
The proverbial fifth wheel to the

OF uselessness in its application to all
objects. is likely to lose its force from
an innovation OF auto builders. The
latest improvement, as it is said to be
in these vehicles, is drum.like wheel

on two hinged arms, which sustains
much of the weight aud impsrts all
the traction for propulsion. 1t is held
by tension springs firmly to the
ground, which are controlled by the
driver, but is ordinarily automatic,
and practically the full weight OF the
vehicle can be thrown upon the extra
wheel, in starting. or when a bad
piece OF road is encountered. The
wheel is hollow, and may be used as a
muller or, when steam is used for a
holder OF dry steam or for a water.

SIGNALS UNDER WATER.-The Navy
Department is considering a project
which is expected to afford telephone
communication under water, whereby
the approach OF q vessel may be sig
nailed if need be to other ships, or to
the defenses on shore. or warning
given OF approach to shosl. 1t con.
sists OF q bell sunk about fifty feet,
operated by electric current from the
deck. Its constant ringing gives no.
tice OF approach to all vessels or sta.
tons supplied with the receiving ap.
paratus. 1t is claimed that signals
can be thus transmitted under water
three or four miles. The navy regards
this as very important supplemental
aid to wireless telegrapby, for use in
foggy weather, and a trial will be
made on the coast line from New
York to Boston.

CHURCH MUsIc.-It has taken the

each congregation the privilege OF

one step farther. it might be made to
apply to the chorister who wears false
teeth, or to the use of troches to clear
the throat OF church-singers. While

which prompted the discussion, all
may applaud the democratic method
adopted for deciding the matter, by
will OF the majority most interested.

A Remnant Of the Old Guard.

Isabella Beccher Hooker, the LAST
OF the Beechers," and sister OF Harriet
Bcecher Stowe, and of the at one time
eminent Brooklyn divine, Henry Ward
Beecher, has written, on her SD birth.
day, recollections Of her early life in
connection with suffrage for her sex.
She WAS leader OF that movement, a
few years ago, associated with Susan
b. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton. She writes: am waiting the
reckoning call with glad heart, ex.
cept for my continued disfranchise-
ment." While it is a matter Of regret
that impartial political rights have
not come in the generation of its most
noted and eminent advocates, there is
g!lmmer in the future that will
doubtless gladden. the hearts of her
sisters. No one who has noted the
result of the ballot in the hands of
woman, can lay his hand upon his
heart and say that he does no. believe
it resulted in infinite benefit to women
and TO advancement in political and
social conditions, of all classes and
conditions of men. About the only
opponents, after the trial OF woman
suffrage in the State of Washington
were professional office seekers and
bosses, whom the intuitive nature Of
the now voters singled out at a glance
and relegated, as far as in her power,
to the back seats. The votes were
cast with remarkable conservatism and
eminent discretion, and women re-
ceived something more than the su-
perci!ious bow and hypocritical smile,
while she held the ballot. No more
potent evidence of its power was ever
afforded than during the brief exper-
ienco in Washington.

WHAT HARMONY PRENAILS!-Th
" Stand Patters' are beginning to show
decided animosity towards the Presi-
dent for his want of respect for the
shop-worn tenet Of the party, tariff
protection, and his late expression of
determination to buy abroad canal
utilities, if held up by the home
barons, has brought about his ears a
buzz that is suggestive at least OF a
party split at no distant day. Besides
this, the President is Republican no
longer except in name, having assumed
Democratic grounds on about all the
issues for which that party has con-
tended. Speaker Cannon is outspoken
in his disapprovsl of the Presidents
policy for purchasing canal supplies
in the cheapest market, and has go
much support in his contention, that
already Taft has climbed the stump to
explain that the purchase OF a couple
OF ships is necessary at once and the
Commission has to find a ready mar
ket to obtain them, and also that a
preference will be given to home prod
ucts, when q large difference in cost
does not prevail.
