That John J. Heavey has many friends
among the Democrats of North Hudson
was made plain on the outing yesterday
of the Emil Groth Association, ons, of the
strongest political organizations in the
county. Mr.. Heayey was accorded a
warm welcome and all day long he was
kept busy shaking hands of new ac-
quaintances. His candidacy for the
Shrieyalty nomination was regarded with
general favor, and if the promises made
Mr. Heavey are kept he will receive
big vote in North Hudson at the primar-
les. This, of course, does not mean that
Egbert Seymour's candidacy is not pop
ular with North Hudson Democrats.'
Though not so well known in that Sec
tion as Mr.. Heavey, because of the lat
ter's long connection with the Sheriff's
office Mr.. Seymour has his admirers and
they were not idle on the outing. 1T was
predicted that in the thickly populated
towns Mr.. Seymour would receive the
full organization vote.

SATURDAY, OCT IA, 1905.

Some of our American critics see in the Russian-Japan treaty, says one writer, a menace to Germany, who is required to give up her lease of Kiao- Chau and get out of China. Which of the signatory powers is to take the step of turning her out? Is it Japan, which has taken over the Russian lease of Port Arthur and Dalny? Does she forget that the German lease of the port in question is to run, by the terms of the agreement, as long as the lease of Port Arthur? Is it England, with her gross violation of the integrity of China by her prolonged occupation of Hong Kong? 'The integrity of the Chinese empire" is good bit of bluff, but it does not sound we'll on the lips of the power which broke the charmed circle of Chinese independence in pur- suing the infamous objects of her first opium war. Hong Kong Is just as much Chinese territory as is Kiao- Chau, and there is no principle which would require the evacuation of the latter which would not apply equally to the former.

PLAN TO EXCHANGE SIGNALS
Mirror rngeniously Used by Man ant
 Woman In . City Prison.

Mirror TngeniousIy Used by Man and
 Woman In City Prison.
 Ingenious are the methods adopted by William Sampson, alias Allis, who is locked up in the felony department of the city prison at San Francisco, to get into communication with his wife and baby, who are under lock and key in the women's department under the charge of the matron, says the San Francisco Chronicle. These people, with their little baby, Charlie, two years of age, are suspected of being highway robbers who have worked with horse and buggy in Golden Gate park.
 Every night about 7:30 o'clock par y of women folks call at the prison to see Mrs. Sampson and Baby Charlie, who are held awaiting the outcome of the charge against the husband and father of attempted robbery some weeks ago. Mrs. Sampson's visitors are as regular as clockwork, especially since the police have ordered that she must be kept strictly away from her husband. They were there as usual the other night and sat to the left of the booking sergeant's desk, facing the big wall clock. The entire party watch ed the clock closely as they played with the little baby, who was armed with a toy balloon. present from man who had been arrested for ped ding without license.
 Sharp at 8 o'clock Mrs. Sampson moved over to the end bench, right up against the misdemeanor portion of the prisongand this placed her on a di- rect line with the door leading to the felony ward. Policeman Maloney saw that she was smiling and waving sig nals toward the place where men charged with serious crimes are kept. He investigated. He found that the pair had perfect code of signals and a mirror through which the husband and father might see and understand.
 Sampson was up against the door of his cell with his right arm barred to the shoulder and squeezed through the narrow bars. His arm was stretched as far out as possible, and in bis hand he held large sized mirror. Tn thls he could see his wife's image and read the signals she waved to him. On ac- count of his bad left arm-the bullet that hit him had passed through his left shoulder-he was unable to wave his signals back to her. This function was performed for him by his cell mate, who was none other than Will liam Rodie. the pseudo electrician who robbed score or more of Oriental stores of fine silks and valuable trin- kets about two months ago.
 When Policeman Maloney discovered the system of the pair he informed the matron, Mrs. Ryan, of what was go- ing on, and she will endeayor to sweat out of her prisoner the exact meaning of the signals.

A Danbury town meeting has or dered the first selectman to print a list of the uncollected taxes in that town for the past eight years. If the situation in Danbury is duplicate of that ill most populous connecticut cen- ters the publication is likely to be about as bulky as the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica.-Hart Times.
 The statement made by Dr A. W. Shaw that 90 per cent of the boys in the Providence schools are addicted to the cigarette habit would be highly interesting if true, but in view of the flat denial of teachers and parents that any such conditions exist it is only fair to give Providence the benefit of the doubt and class Dr Shaw's figures under the head of unconscious eXagger- atlon. They sound too bad to be wholly accurate.-New Britain Herald.
 T am Nicholas Giulot, professor of chemistry" said tramp gathered with other vagabonds in the streets of Paris, when asked by the police lieutenant to Identify himself. And from his filthy clothes he fished documents proving that he spoke the truth. Investigation showed that the tramp was a former lecturer at the University of Paris, that for years he had astonished the scientific world by his discoveries, and that finally the government sent him to the Congo to study certain topo- graphical and other conditions. When he came back from Africa the former society man seemed to have lost all his energy, and gradually vanished from sight. 'Send me to prison for a week, at least" he begged the police. "I must have regular food and bed, lest perish"
 The Boston Advertiser is made prop erly wrathful and sarcastic by the ac- tion which excludes Oliver Wendell Holmes and Phillips Brooks from the Hall of Fame in New York, and sug- gests Hall of Shame" to take the overflow from the gallery. 1t says: '"The only trouble with the Hall of Fame is that there is too much restric- tfon. Some of the classes are bigger than others, and no one can hope to get admitted out of his or her class. We recommend that the policy of diff ferentiating classes be extended ade- quately, to include names just as dear to the people. Besides the freaks al- ready admitted, there is MT Tweed, who made cartoons famous; Al Adams (sometime in the future), who made the confidence game what it is; Chuck Connors, who brought the white light of publicity to Chinatown; Hinky Dink, who raised Chicago municipal politics to the gallery level. All these have been slighted. Such omissions should be remedied."

During the past fiscal year the ad- vice and supervision of the forest ser vice were asked for the management of private forest lands aggregating over two million acres. The co-opera- tive arrangement with the government by which owners may secure the as- sistance of trained foresters in the care of their woodlands is open to all. so far as the resources of the service permit. The plan of cooperation pro- vides that where owners will pay all expenses for the study of the tract, the forest service will supply the knowledge. Let us suppose that the owner of large timber tract is con- vinced that he can obtain greater re- turns from more careful management Of the land. He may then apply to the forest service, asking fora swork- ing plan by which to manage his for est. On receiving the application the forest service sends an agent to make a preliminary examination of the for est and to report upon its possibilities from the forester's standpoint. If the report is favorable the owner is given an estimate of his share of the cost of cooperation. If the estimate ppoyes satisfactory to the owner, and the CO., operation of the service is requested. a force of men is assigned to the work and it secures the data upon which the working plan is based. This force makes a thorough-going examination of the tract, from both the forester's and the lumberman's points of view. A careful estimate, based on actual measurement. is made of the stand both of merchantable and immature trees; their rate of growth is deter mined; reproduction is studied: and the danger from fire, from grazing. or from insect attack, and the best meth ods of preventing them. Market and transportation facilities are carefully investigated. A map showing the char acter, distribution and quality of the forest is prepared.

 Information. The president has been annoyed at discovering that instrue- tons sent by him to the state depart- ment for transmission abroad have become public before they have reach ed their destination As some of these intructions were confidential and were to be carried out only in certain con- tingencies, their publication has some times precipitated matters by forcing the hand of the administration before 1t was quite prepared, which has had the effect of placing the Washington government at great disadvantage in its dealings with other governments. The cipher of the state department is 90 complex that the Washington auth | critics were convinced up 10 a recent date that it could not be read. Their confidence in it. however. received a rude shock when it was discovered tEat most important communications 10 the state department which were supposed to De known only to the president and the heads of the depart- ment. were known In Eurupe just as if they had been published in the daily press.
