er inclined to the belief that the whole
thing is failure.
ut will not be failure. It will
be success. and 1t will be success
because we shall treat every little
check not as reason for abandon.
Ting the work, but as a reason for al.
terins and lettering our plans SO as
to make It impossible that that par.
ticular check shall happen again.
What is being done In Panama is
but a sample of the things that this
country has done during the last few
years, of the things in which your
profession has taken so prominent a
part. Take what we did in Cuba,
where we tried the experiment, which
had not been tried for four hundred
years. of clearing the cities. One of
the most important items of the work
done by our government in Cuba
was the work of hygiene, of cleaning
and disinfecting the cities SO as to
minimize the chance for yellow fever,
so as to do away with as many as
possible Of the conditions that told
for disease. This country has never
done better work-that is. work that
reflected more honor upon the coun.
try, or for humanity at large-than
the work done in Cuba.
Resents Attack on Wood.
and the man who above all 9th.
ers will be responsible for doing that
work so well was member of your
profession. who when the call to arms
came himself went as soldier to the
field, the present Major General Leon.
ard Wood. Leonard Wood did In Gu.
ba just the kind of work that, for In.
stance, Lord Cromer has done in
Egypt. We have not been able to
reward Wood in anything like the pro.
portion with which services such as
his would have been rewarded in any
other country of the first rank in the
world, and there has been no meaner
and more unpleasant manifestation in
all our public history than the feeling
of envy and jealousy manifested to-
ward Wood. And the foul assaults
and attacks made upon him, gentle
men, were largely because they
grudged the fact that this admirable
military officer should have been a
doctor"
The tribute to General Leonard
Wood lifted the audience of three
hundred physicians to their feet and
kept them cheering, and as he left
the hall the President was cheered
all the way to his carriage.
Five minutes before the President
reached the school house a tramp
who tried to break through the lines
was thrown down a bank by Secret
Service Agent Sloan.

BRYAN WANTS TO Be
U. S. SENATOR
THE GREAT FINANcIER WANTS
TO FOLLOW DANIEL AS SEN
AToR FROM THE OLD
DOMINION.

RICHMOND, Va, July 14-Politl-
clans are discussing Thomas F. Ry-
ans chances OF being sent to the Uni.
ted Statcs Senate to represent vir.
ginia.
Mr.. Ryan recently came into great
public notice by his purchase of the
stock controls of the Equitable Assur-
ance Society. According to one OF
Senator Martins stanchest friends,
Mr.. Ryan aspires to be one Of the Sen.
atorial representatives OF this State
and follow Senator Daniel.
The ambition of the fnaacier has
been, on the surface, primarily to be
the financial chief of this country, but
in Virginia, where his residence Is still
kept in formal way. it is believed
that he would rather be Senator from
the Old Dominion than control count.
less millions.
Mr.. Ryan retains his residence in
Nelson county and votes there. He
was selected as a delegate from vir-
einia to the National Democratic con
yention which nominated Parker and
this Is thought to have been the enter
izg wedge Of the long campaign which
may mean the fulfllment OF the high
ambition Of the financier.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, July a.
President Roosevelt, speaking to the
Associated Physicians of Long Island,
declared that in spite of all Difficult.

United States the Panama canal
would be success. He paid q trib.
ute to the services OF General Leon.
ard Wood, whose career as a mill.
tary officer. he said. was fouted by
some critics because he once had
been n doctor.
Mr.. Roosevelt said in part:
Il am happy to say that the work
OF digging the Panama canal Is be.
ing admirably done. Now and then
some alarmist report will come from
Panama. Just a couple Of weeks
ago there seemed to be a succession
OF people coming up from Panama,
each one OF whom. had some tale or
other to tell. You will always find
In any battle, even a victorious bat.
tie, that in the rear you meet a mum.
Der OF gentlemen who are glad that
they are not at the front, who. IL
they have unfortunately gotten at the
front have come away, and who justl.
~ their absence from the front by
telling tales of how everything has
gone wrong there.
Now the people who fee from
Panama will carry up here Just such
stories as the people who flee from
the forefront of battle carry to the
rear with them. The people to whom
this country owes and will owe SO
much. are those who stay down there
and do not talk, but do their work,
and do 1t well.
Profit BY Troubles.

like that in the tropics, in region
which until this government took
hold Of it was accounted to be a re.
gion exceptionally unhealthy, we are
going to have trouble, have some vel.

the talk about it.

He failed stead lily, despite the best of nursing and medical care. His daughter, Mrs J. P. Treadwell of Norwalk, and her hus- band, were with him to the last. MT Booth was 81 years old. He first en- parked in business with Noble Ben- nitt's father, who bore the same name, in the building now occupied by An drew M. Booth. After that he clerked for time for the late A. B. Mygatt in the eable-roofed building which stood on the site of the present residence of Turney Soule. In 1855 he bought out A. B. Mygatt. In 1860 he moved to store which stood on the site of the present Bank street store. In 1860 came the great fire which destroyed his store, which was rebuilt.

ASPETUCK VALLEY CREAMERY REPORT
 The Aspetuck Valley Creamery as sociation was organized March IS, 1889
 with V. B. Hatch president, and J. M Ford and V. B. Hatch as building committee. Work was begun immedi.
 ately, and on May 13 the first churnine
 of butter was made. V. B. Hatch took the first butter by wagon to Danbury
 to market, this being the beginning o1
 the business of the company, and it has continued to the present, paying tc
 the patrons in that time $38, ,833. .32. Ii
 has been continuously under the man. agement of V. B. Hatch, assisted by
 the able board of directors. The com.
 pany was organized under the state act relating to corporation bodies, said act requiring fund to be accumulated
 to the amount of 20 per cent of its capital stock before dividend could
 be paid, and as soon as the fund was saved out of it's net earnings six per cent dividend has been declared annu- ally, and at the present time it's fund amounts to more than 50 per cent of it's stock. The last annual meeting was held on Saturday, January ', at l o'clock p. m., at their creamery build ing. The following officers were duly elected after the reading of and accept ing the reports of the secretary and treasurer: w. c. Hihe, president; E.. O. Sperry, 1st director; M. A. Strong, 2d director; s. s. Green, 3d director; k. M. Straight, 4th director; w. O.. Corning, 5th director; A. s. Hill, Jr., treasurer; V. B. Hatch, secretary and manager. This splendid showing is a handsome tribute to the efficient man. ager, V. B. Hatch. While creameries have been started and wound up on all sides, the Aspetuck creamery has steadily forged ahead. the butter main- taining it's high stand in the market. Having been in the business for years MT Hatch has been able to secure select lot of customers, SO that the company's losses from bad debts are practically nothing. THE BEE believes that few farmers in the district realize what Gebt of gratitude they owe to the Aspetuck management. This furnishes market for their dairy output right at home, with pay mentS for the cream furnished coming as pay day comes around. So long life to MT Hatch and this success full creamery. A detailed report of 1 the years business follows:
