PRO FORM4, ETC.

v-u New Haven seems to be again about to make up her mind. We say seems" because things are not al- ways what they seem. But it is "of- ficially" announced that the city's Cut commission has practically finished the task allotted to it by bhe board of al- dermen, and has come to an agree ment which will be ratifieI pro forma, so far as the commission has authority, at a final conference with President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company next Tuesday afternoon. Mayor Studley will call the board of aldermen together in special sesson at an early date to re- ceive the Cut commissions report for the aldermens ratification.
 "Pro forma" is a good phrase, and We welcome its appearance at this june ture. It indicates that something quite serious dlas taken place, or may take place, and gives an air of solidity to the performance. We hope nothing will happen to it, and that when it gets safely through the mill the aldermen will say pro bono publico and act ac- cordingly. Then finis can be written, and New Haven can rest from her la bors. As the plan of settlement is a fair and good one we hope New Haven is going to have a rest from Cut self ishness, Cut absurdities and Cut poli- tics.
 The Cut discussion has stirred New Haven more than some people realize. Even the hens of the city have felt im- pelled to take part in it. All they have said lately is Cut. cut, cut, cut-dah- cut"

Several items covered the cost of having editorials inserted in various papers,. one of them being an English newspaper. Three or four cablegrams were sent to the Merchants Associa- tion of Shanghai during the month. They were long messages. judging by the cost. and doubtless had some con- nection with the boycott of American goods. This boycott was inaugurated by the merchants of China, and there is no doubt whatever in the minds of the Washington authorities that there was a thorough understanding between the Chinese of San Francisco and those fo Shanghai regarding the matter. The expenses of the general society for the month of August were a little more than $2,00O.
 The Chinese have made us feel their power, and they will probably eventu- ally get different treatment.

TIE CONoUERING TRISH.

It is we'll known that the Irish are doing pretty we'll in this country. A correspondent of the London Times de scribes at some length what he terms the capture of New England by the Irish" Political control has passed from the English element to the Irish. New England is more Irish to-day" said the Hon. J. F. Fitzgerald in re- cent speech, than any part of the world outside of Ireland.' Boston is an Irish city, and there are dozen cities ill Massa chusetts and as many more in the rest of New England that have chief magistrates of Irish blood. "The vast majority of us,'' said the speaker, ''are still hewers of wood and drawers of water'-by which he means laborers. But they have majority of votes and control the richest section of the Un- ion. The tax levy of Boston in 1904 amounted to $22,OOOOOO, of which sum the 75 Councilmen and 13 Aldermen who compose the city government con- tributed S750. Not without reason MT. Fitzgerald points with pride to the po- litical genius of his race. By their capacity and ability" he said, they are constantly battering into nothing ness the charge of England that Irish men lack the brains to govern their o"'n country" The fact is beyond dis pute. They have clearly shown in New England capacity and ability not only to govern themselves, but also the P11r- itans, who once ,boasted themselves the shrewdest Yankees of the country. In the Hand of the Pilgrims pride" a peo- pie of different race and different re- ligion now hold supremacy. The latter, however, have in Boston, the corres- pondent notes, the same grievance they laave in Treland-they lack home rule. The police and judges, as in Ireland, are appointed from outside, the State, as distinguished from the Hub, being still under the control of the native element.
 The Irish are perhaps not as conquer ing in New Haven as they were, but they are not by any means squelched, and expect to live to see another day.

to give any one else an opportunity to try it on, and she says you have not bought it, she is sure. would sug- gest, if you will permit me, that you decide at once if you want the hat, for if you don't I'm quite sure the other lady will take it.
 T really hate to disappoint the lady," Mrs Tryon answered having re- covered herself suddenly, but she really cannot have the hat The truth is that the hat belongs to me. I've been wearing it all summer and I couldn't think of parting with it."
 The gentleman saw his mistake in moment and apologized profusely. Mrs Tryon began to think more and more of her own hat as she went along and she smiled to herself as she saw the consternation the face of the other customer as the gentleman explained the error.
 By some freak of fortune Mrs Tryon ran across the brown hat she was looking for and she hurried to the glass to put it on her head. It was just what she wanted and she started lu bIie ueShI being uIldpl6 lO Iilu d clerk, in order to find a clerk, in order to conclud her purchase. She was carrying her old hat in one hand and the prospective purchase in the other when she was suddenly stopped by an excited woman, who demanded: ''Is that hat sold?" pointing to Mrs Tryons white hat trimmed in pink flowers. Mrs Tryon was getting rather tired of this experience.
 No, madam, it is not" she replied, rather tartly.
 How much is it?" the woman per- sisted, Mrs TryOn saw at once that being hatless she had been mistaken for clerk. She didn't care to Insult the lady, for the sake of the establish ment, so she said as politely as possI- 1 ble.
 "The original price was $25, but
 Yes. know" interrupted the lady. that makes it $12.5O today. Hi take it." And before Mrs Tryon could

 Mrs Tryon took her $12.50 and walked neditating to the counter. in- tending to explain the matter to the head of the. department. But before she could be- waited on she changed her mind. When theb usy girl finally reached her she merely said:
 "I'll take this hat, please. Seven fifty, believe" and counted out the money. You needen't do it up. I'll just put it on."
 And with five unexpected dollars in her pocket, Mrs Tryon walked to the nearest mirror, placed her purchase on her head and walked out of the store. %A-
 'I never yetedid get beat at bar gain," Mrs Tryon said as she told the story to her husband that evening. but I never made $5 so easy in my life" ........s|. ...,.. That certainly was a bargain" MT.

MRS TRYON's BARGAIN.

Mrs Tryon was a truly thrifty wife As a consequence she was bargain hunter. She often bought little things because they were cheap-not that she particularly needed them. But she would never acknowledge this.
 Tryon was not at all surprised one morning to find his breakfast stand ing cold on the table and note from his wife explaining that she had seen an ad in the paper that morning that called her to one of the large depart ment stores.

HELPING THEMSELTES.

The Chinese realize that their gods help those who help themselves, and they have certainly been busy lately in trying to help themselves against our Chinese exclusion law. Commissioner General of Immigration Sargent has received copies of rather remarkable document, written in Chinese. It con- sists of a statement of the operations of the General Society of San Francis co for the month of August. The chief feature of the statement is an account of the collections and disbursements of money during the month to defeat the New Chinese Exclusion Treaty." It appears tfrom this statement that more than $10,000 were collected in August, in the City of San Francisco alone, for the purpose of preventing the negotia- ton Of a second treaty for the exclu- sion of Chinese from the United States
 The document was forwarded to Mr. Sargent by one of his representatives in San Francisco. From the same source the State department secured its first intimation that the Chinese minis ter, Sir Chentung Cheng, was encour- aging the organization of Chinese socie- ties for the purpose of fighting hostile legislation. The statement of the oper- ations of the General Society of San Francisco was translated by one of the men in the immigration service, and his translation revealed many interesting things.
 The contributions apparently came from the numerous proprietors of Chi nese laundries, shops and eating houses of San Francisco. The money was re- ceived in small sums and came from nearly every quarter of the city. The disbursements for the month were also indicated. The sum of $20O was charged to the expense incident to sending to a

MT. Maurice Koechlin, the adminis- trative director of the Socfete des Con- structions of Levaillois-P Ferret, France, In an article contributed to La Nature, bids us note, if we compare the dimen- sions of the spiders web to it's own di- minutive size, we are forced to, recog- nize that the little creature is really an engineer who builds huge network of cables. Strand after strand is put in place in the desired and necessary or der, and sometimes long observation is necessary to enable the student to un- derstand the reasons that govern the spider in her complex n1anoeuvres and cause her to follow always the same or der and the same laws. Some of these reasons are geometrioal, while some have to do with the resistance of ma- terials, and he who succeeds in dis covering in the method the wherefore of so many interesting details is oblig- ed to confess that even if he had the spiders thread at his disposal he could not do as well as she.

The National Association of Autorno- bile Manufacturers will try to bring about, this coming winter, a repeal of the tax on alcohol to be used in the arts "denaturized alcohol, alcohol which has been rendered unfit for bev- craze purposes" The repeal of this tax would enable them, and other manu- facturers, to use alcohol where they now have to use gasolene-a motor-fuel the price of which is much higher now than 1t was half a dozen years ago. The supply of alcohol is, of course, unlimited" they say, "as it can be readily distilled from corn, potatoes, and other farm products. In addition to their interest as the producers of the materials from which alcohol is distiH- ed, the farmers would also be greatly benefited through the possible use of al- cofo1 as a motor-fuel for running all kinds of farm machinery, pumping, etc

Within the last if teen years, nearly quarter of it has sunk in the water. Efforts have been made to fortify the weak places, but even the walls that are erected to keep out the sea prove to be on foundations which are themselves disappearing. The island is now only about three miles in circumference. As the inhabi- tants love their homes as much as peo- p'a do whose homes are more secure, the anxiety among them can be readily Understood.

In Mad Rueh.

This seems TO be day when every
thing is rush, rush, rush, with utter
disregard for results. The insanity of
speed seems TO have spread until peo-
pie crave for recklessness and for risk.
They seem to revel in it, and even for
enjoyment choose such dashing adven-
lures as looping the loop" and riding
a mile minute on anything that can
attain such rapid speed. Speed insan-
ity may be a new disease. If ii is, it is
contagious and dangerous. II has in
vaded nearly every REALM of life, until
all the old-fashioned, slow ut-sure, f.
nally-get-there methods of business,
politics and life seem to have been rel
egated for the mad rush caused by
speed insanity.
This sort of rush and dash may
be ali right. and has. no doubt,
been responsible for much of our
wonderful modern advancement, but
the evils of the disease of speed
insanity are multiplying. Reckless speed
is ultimately destructive.
