 quaintances, who gill miss her iron
 the places she filled so efficiently, ant
 to whom the news of her death, whil
 it brings sadness, recalls host o
 pleasant memories.

Correspondent Says Locp.ths.LooI
 Club is All RiGn.
Waterbury. Jnlyl1O, 1905

' Editor Democrat:
 1 know of two instances yesterday where the police went out ibout two miles in the country and mace the par. ticipants of outings break amp have no criticism to offer of the police. They were simply carrying ott the or. ders of the superintendent, wlp in turn got his from the board of public safe ty; but I do criticise the issuini of this order without first having had an in. yestigation. For four years tie Loop the Loop club has run its little outdoor affairs without a hitch or complaint. Recently some drunken fellow ilsulted a Dublin street resident on Sunday evening just as this club was ,nding it's outing. Whether or not he 1tend- ed the outing is not known, although he was supposed to. His identity is also unknown. although the committee offered a reward to find him out. This unpleasant event seems to have caused all the trouble.
 Now, does it not appeal to re,son that it is better for a crowd of good fellows to go out into the woods and enjoy themselves in their own way on Sunday than to go sneaking into sune cellar and lodging the coppers: We all can't belong to swell clubs, !ou know.
 Let the papers investigate for thsm- selves and then decide whether he police of a free country are justified ill chasing through the brush for mics for criminals @ who like to get dlt after weeks confinement and enj,y Gods pure air and glass of beer.

 System of Monopolies.
 OTTAWA, Kan, July 10.--Thomas W. Lawson of Boston addressed great crowd at the Chautauqua assembly here. He spoke of the "system.s MT. Lawson arrived from Kansas City, where he and William T. Jerome, dis trict attorney of New York, were the guests of honor at the monthly dinner or the Knife and Fork club. Address ing the Chautauqua here, MT. Lawson said.
 T have come to Kansas on simple mission-to point out to you that the American people are being robbed, by whom, how and what the consequences will be if the robbery is not stayed and an example made of the robbers" !"
 Mir. Lawson discussed at length the evils of the system" and continued: "What are you going to do about it? You know that the economic condition which allows the few to possess all and the many to be left with nothing must be ended. If it is not slavery is the alternative. How shall 1t be end ed? By your ballots? What are bal lots against dollars? And the system has unlimited dollars. With S5.000,- GOO saw Rogers rob the able, fearless, honest, but all wrong on the money question, William Jennings Bryan out of the presidency of the United States in 1896 Do you imagine he would shrink from repeating the operation in 1908 if he feared that the man you nominated would upset his control?
 To-day at the helm of your affairs is an able and fearless American. bold to conceive and strong to execute. To all of you he Is hero. and you are behind him. ready to back up his course wherever he sees fit to go. President Roosevelt knows it, and to- day no man in the country is more keenly aware of the necessity of curb ing the corporate despotism under which we live. But what can Presi- dent Roosevelt do? hate to say it. but he is as helpless in the system net as a bull in a balloon.

UNJUST, SAYS PRICE
Secretary Wilson Requested
 to Withdraw Charges.
THAT OFFICIAL DECLINES TO DO so
Secret Service Agent Said That He Was Unable to Secure Any Evil dencc duplicating T. H. Price
 In the Cotton oLeak.o

Was Unable to Secure Any Evt-
 dencc duplicating T. H. Price
 In the Cotton "Lenk."
 WASHINGTON, July 10.-Theodore H. Price of New York has arrived in Washington and through his attorney has requested Secretary Wilson to withdraw what MT. Price character ized as the unjust, offensive and un- sustained charges and implications" contained in the cotton leak" report made public in connection with the re- moval of Edwin s. Holmes, Jr.. the assistant statistician of the depart ment of agriculture.
 Secretary Wilson told Mir. Price as he had seen William NJ. lrtins, his at torney, earlier in the day he had no statement to make along the lines re- quested. The secretary explained in detail how the matter had been brought to his attention by Mir. Van Riper through Mir Cheatham, and he had in turn referred it to the secret service division of the treasury department, by the officials of which the investiga- tion had been conducted. Their re- port had been made to him. and he in turn had made it public. What had been made public, therefore. the sec retary explained. was entirely the work of the secret service. Under these cir cumstances, he added, he did not feel called upon to make an explanation or withdraw anything that had been given out.
 Mfr. Price has secured from Richard Cheatham the following signed state ment:
 Mir. Cheatham states that after ev- idence which he had furnished to Sec retary Wilson was turned over to the secret service department his services were enlisted by that department to assist the man in whose charge the matter was placed to secure any ad. ditional evidence regarding the case IL was decided that more evidence might be secured in New York. and in the hopes of doing so the secret service agent accompanied by Mir Cheatham, went there for that pur. pose.
 After working together in close touch for three or four days. during which time number of persons who were supposed to know something about the case were examined by the secret service agent alone. and after 2 having fully gone over the ground and examining every one who in the oPin ion of the secret service agent and Mir Cheatham could possibly have any connection with the affair MT. Cheat ham left New York. Before leaving ht | had a long conference with the secret service agent. who expected to leave a few hours later-
 MT. Cheatham. 1t Is said. was verl much surprised when he first noticed il i the report given out by Secretary Vii son to the press the name of TheodOr' f Price mentioned SO prominently in con nection with the case. as he did no know of any evidence having been pre- { sented or secured by any one tha would w1rTsnt the use of 1lr- Pricei name in connection with the affair.

 All the victims of the disaster were employees of H. s. Kerbaugh & Go. Qncorporated), contractors, who are building the double tracks for the Pennsylvania railroad to connect with the Enola yards. The bodies of the men were terribly mangled and parti. cles of flesh and bone were scattered for a distance of 200 yards from the scene of the explosion.

 All the killed and, injured were Ia borers aside from Wiseman, whose body was terribly mangled. What could be found of it was identified by the fact that he dyed his hair. Hi: scalp and a portion of his head wa: found on a hill POO yards from tht blast. Wiseman has been with tho Kerbaugh company for five years ana had gone to the scene of the explosion to personally superintend the prepara tions for what is called a "big shot to be fired this morning.
 A 'big shot" consists of a series o blasts, the holes having been drilled in a row and the charges being set of simultaneously by an electric spark Five of the holes had been filled witt powder and the men were at work or the sixth when the explosion occurred
 One Italian escaped because a fel low workman had playfully snatchet his hat and ran with it. The owne ran after the man with the hat ant had just got out of the range of tn explosion when it occurred. An Ital ian water boy. twelve years old. whr was on the way to the men with ; bucket of water. was hurled fifty feet Every stitch of clothing was torn iron from his body. A leather belt con tsining S312 in paper money. suYpose' to belong to one of the men. was picked up near the scene of the explo sion.

Not His Fault,

Don't roast the poor conductor man
Or for his scalp go cunning
Because according to your plan
The through train Is not running.
1t doesn't help things to complain
Or cut up and get funny,
Because he doesn't own the train;
He only takes the money.
What though his uniform is new,
His buttons bright and brassy,
And he from every point of view
Appears quite pert and sassy
And may keep constant watch of things
In summer and in winter?
From engine wheel to curtain springs
He doesn't own a splinter.
1t isn't that he feels that way
That he is so eXacting,
But he must do to earn his pay
His full share of bad acting,
For rules hang where he can't but see
In all details instructing,
And he might lose his job should he
Look pleasant while conducting.
So do not blame the men who come
The tickets grlmly taking
Because the train is on the bum
And little progress making.
They do not own the train that toots,
Its schedule calmly Sinking,
For il they did, you bet your boots,
They wouldn't be there working.

many who had every reason to fear pneu-
