Thomas r. Ryan of New York and Virginia, who has been mentioned as the possible successor of Senator Daniel. states that he would not at tempt to oppose the senator for re- election. T know of no better way for the man who has political ambition to make defeat certain than for him to become q candidate against John W. Daniel for any office in the gift of the people of Virginia" said MT Ryan Senator Daniel has earned the right to claim from them any office he de sires and 10 retain it at his pleasure ." Nevertheless and notwithstanding. as the saying is. should anything nap pen that Senator Daniel should not again he a candidate. Mir Ryan would stand an excellent chance Mean while. as Mir Daniel has six years still to serve. Mr Ryan will have abun- dance of opportunity to lay up few pennies for a rainy day from the American Tobacco Co. the Morton Trust Co. the New York street rail ways. the Sesboard Air Line and other enterprises in which he is heavily m- terested. to say nothing of the Equit- able Life Insurance Co stock for which he recently paid s2.JJ.Oln He is one of the most modest miIliOnaires in the country and only a small part of his benefactions ever reach the public. \ gentleman personally ae- quzinted with him says that Mr Ryan has for twenty years given away on an average of one million dollars year to educational and charitable in stitutions and the like only a small portion Of these gifts receiving public mention

The business administration Is getting along nicely, and from re- publican standpoint we might say it is doing great work. However, let us not be deceived into believing that there is no politics In it, for on the contrary, it is apparent to the most listless observer that there is more politics to the square inch in the pres ent administration than was ever known in Waterbury before. And how any man in his right senses can think or say otherwise is mystery. It has been political game and scramble from the day the republicans discov- cred they had won down to the pres ent. Such a scramble for place and for life positions has been Iaughable to those who are not inNthe running. The police department, the fire de- partment, the school department, and every other department where the re-
 
 could secure a foothold or score point, it has done so, and there is no way to stop the onslaught at present. The leader of the republican party in the aldermanic chamber has been taken care of, after bit of political work that has not been equalled even by Boss Platt. No politics in it. Why, the idea is absurd, and the men who nave their hands on the machine must think that the best joke of the season. Evidently Waterbury republicans think that to the victors belong the spells, and who can blame them. so long as they give the people a straightforward, economical administration of affairs.

without conditions. We hope so, for while we have always found much to admire in MT Carnegie's generosity, it has never struck us fayorably that to make benefactor stand on it's feet, another must meet it, given by those whose advantage was in the mind oi the original donor. There is, therefore, hopefulness in the suggestion made by our western contemporary.-New Ha, ven Register.
 Mayor Mcclellan, who is often desig- mated as the best mayor New Yorl city ever had, and who is considered excel lent democratic presidential timber, ill addressing the alumni of Catholic ."r sitution in New York city the other day spoke in part as follows: Our besetting sin is ayarice.. Our mad rush for wealth is not an honest effort to increase the products of nature or the avails of human effort, but hideous vice of ever-increasing and unsuitable greed. Year by year we see it invad- ing government with ever-increasins audacity. Men cry out against tainted money that has it's vile record behind it. What we have to bear is money which taints. which tempts men to sell their honor, and then buys it. No great republic was ever struck down by the mailed hand of brute force until it had first exalted the money-lover to the place of trust which only the man oi honor should be assigned to guard."-.

The editor of the Hartford Times takes a hopeful view of the case when the divorce question is being discussed. Last evening it said Connecticut has population of about 25O,OOO in ex- cess of that of Maine, but in this state in 1903-the last year for which the statistics are now available-the num- Der of divorces was 535, or less than 57 per cent the figure for the Pine Tree state. The average annual count of divorces in this state during the past ten years was 446. The ratio of divorces to population is not larger in Maine than it is in many states, but the proportion in Connecticut is small CT than in most states. Although the number of judicially severed marriages in Connecticut underwent a slight bulge in 1903, the proportion of di- vorces to people here during the past four decades has been irregularly fall ing. It's well to have these facts and figures put into black and white in order to calm the perturbed emotions of people who imagine that the divorce business in this state has assumed prodigious proportions" A New York exchange in discussing the question, says that Dr Dix does not find the in- crease of the number of divorces due to decrease in average marital felici- ty. The first inviting cause that he notices is the greater social tolerance of divorced persons-the removal of the stigma which in former generations almost uniformly attached. Dr Park hurst thinks great cause is in the fact that the measurable industrial in dependence which has been attained by women has resulted in deterioration of sex quality-that women through rbe establishment of ideals other than those of wifehood and motherhood, are less anxious to enter matrimony and mere willing to leave it. Bishop Pot ter, like Dr Dix thinks that public sen tllaent is largely to blame, and. like Dr Parkhurst, that gradually woman has discovered that she has rights and has proceeded to exercise them." Higher education, he declares, has in- creased woman's selfishness.

HIRE A MAN TO WORRY.
Good Advice for the Business Man
 Who Follows Strenuous Life.


 Who Follows Strenuous Life.
 , A person ought not to worry when he has man hired to do the worry ing for him. .. ........'
 There are men who think nothing can be we'll done unless it is done under their own personal direction. These men are but slaves to their business.
 Men boast that they know every small detail of their business. They point with pride to the many and varied details that are executed un- der their direction and frequently ex- press regret that seeing to the exc cution of these details leaves them little time for other work. They take pride in conveying the impression that every minute of their time is fully occupied. ...
 The business man ought not to de- vote more time to business than his employees do. Physically and mental ly he is constructed very much the same, and sooner or later, overwork or constant mental strain will mani fest itself in serious disorders. The business man who goes to work in the morning with a tired brain or di- seased body cannot do as much or as effective work as the one who forgets all about his work at a reasonable hour each day and refreshes his mind and body by good nights sleep. Overwork sooner or later deprives one of the ability to do effective work
 The successful business men are those who manage men and leave the men they manage to manage the de- tails Of course, it's. good thing for the merchant to know details, so as to determine occasionally whether or not those under him are doing effective work, but the merchant who constantly sees to the small details of his business is wasting time that could be employed to better advan- tage. ...
 It's the lack of confidence in his employees that makes business man a slave to his business, and the em- ploye slave to his employer. When q business man employs manager, he should have sufficient confidence in his ability to let him conduct the bus mess in the way he thinks it ought to be conducted-Hardwa Dealers Magazine.

Some days ago a report of seven thousand printed pages was filed in the United States supreme court in the case of the United States agalnst Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, and others. As the charge was made that Senator Clark had acquired vast quantities of timber land in Western Montana, out of which the govern ment was defrauded, the impression might prevail, especially at this time when Senator Mitchell who has just been convicted and sentenced to prison for an offense in connection with tim Der land transfers, that Senator Clark was in a somewhat similar position. The case comes to the supreme court on an appeal by the United States, Senator Clark having won the suit before Judge Knowles of the federal court at Helena Montana, and also before the circuit court of appeals in San Francisco, where the Judgment of the court at Helena was sustained.

 This is leaf from the book of life, not fiction. ,......
 A man named Briggs has been con demned to death for murder in Chi cago. The man is guilty. He is a bad man. .--... s.. ,. ..,-,a s.-
 That is one side of the Briggs fam fly history. There is another side.
 Mrs Nellie Briggs Is one of those good women not infrequently found the virtuous and faithful wife of q scoundrel and criminal. And there are two bright little children. ..,...,5
 During the trial of her husband, Mrs Briggs walked daily several miles from her poverty stricken home to which she had fled to escape the jibes and jeers of unkind neighbors who pointed the finger of scorn-to be at her husbands side. She left the little girls at home with half loaf of bread-all she could afford.
 And for herself? . +.-. -s.-
 She lasted through the long days of the trial because she was too poor to buy food and too proud to tell of her Restitution.
 And that is not all. ...s .........
 All night after the long tOilsome walk, back to her home the starving woman toiled with her needle to pro vide the bread for the little ones and to pay the rent. It was only by acci- dent that a reporter discovered her condition as she steadfastly refused to say where she lived.

 Herein is a great mystery-the suf- fering of the innocent for the guilty.

NEW YORK IMPROVEMENTS.

From the great hole in Battery park, in which will be located the terminal station of the land end of the present subway, workmen have pushed the steel lined bores of two twin tunnels GOO feet toward Brooklyn. Under the East river will also extend the con meeting tunnels of the Pennsylvania railroad, while across Buttermilk chan nel to Governors Island, and thence to the Battery. is to be extended the tun- nel which is to give a subway connec' ton with Fort Hamilton and the ad jacent section of Brooklyn.
 These constructions are all assured Others certain of completion within a reasonable time are those connecting City hall, in New York, with Borough hall. in Brooklyn. and the upper part of Manhattan with the shore of Long Island, under Blackwelrs Island.
 Through these subterranean and sub riparian tubes the millions of residents of Long Island and New Jersey will be hurried to and fro twice each day, in 1920. as well as across five great bridges that will be open then to the public. ..-..
 The Brooklyn bridge. by that time, will have been rebuilt. The Williams burg bridge was opened by Mayor Seth Low during his administration. The Manhattan bridge between these two will be ready for use in 1gOs. according to the report of Bridge Commissioner Best. and the BlackwelI's Island bridge will be ready almost as soon. Plans have also been prepared by the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad for a bridge from point a short distance north of the Harlem river across Randalrs Island to the north shore of Long Island

in the Equitable at present for 1t has drawn heavily on that city for talent Three prominent officials have al ready been supplied to the rejuvenated corpora tion, the president, the comp troller and the press agent. It is doubtful which of the three will in the long run prove the most valuable acquisition. So far Mir Depew is the only senator directly connected with the Equitable and his friends entertain no doubt that his conduct has been free from blemish. While considering the case it is well to remember that one time Chauncey NJ. Depew stood a fair chance of being elected to the presidency of these United States. When the republican nominating con vention met in Chicago in 1888 there were many who believed that Cleye- land should be opposed by New Yorker and New York presented De pew as it's favorite son. He boiled 99 votes on the first ballot, compara- lively small number when 416 was necessary. but highly creditable showing when it is recalled that on that ballot the votes were scattered between fourteen candidates and De- pew ran third to sherman and Gresham. Harrison. who was finally nominated, had but 80 votes on that ballot. so Depew had good start, but he only lasted three ballots. his strength then going to Harrison.

COLD DISHES FOR WARM DAYS.

tail-Serve Very Cold.
 The cold dishes for the Sunday night supper may be inexpensive or costly. as suits the disposition or the purse of the housekeeper. If she has a nice taste in truffies and pate de foie gras and out of season game she may have the supposedly simple meal the highest priced of the week. On the other hand. with skill in fiayoring and seasoning and aptitude for dainty cookery she can procure a result that would be as satisfactory as the other to all but the trained gourmet. at a moderate outlay.
 One word more. Cold dishes must be cold, This does not mean luke warm or partially cold. but thoroughly chilled. There is nothing more de appetizing than to have dishes which are meant to be cold merely chilly, ex- cept to have dishes that should be hot only tepid. Serve your cold dishes from cold platters or bowls on to cold plates. Gsrnish the food attractively, and remember that it's appearance has almost as much importance as its taste tu HA At
