THE NEW INDIAN WcERoY,
Some Particulars Relating to the Ca reer of Lord Minto from
 Boyhood

Lord Minto, who becomes viceroy of India at the age of 5S, has had career full of interest, says the Westminster Gazette. He was fighting with the Turkish army in 1877; he was with Lord Roberts in Afghanistan in 1873; and he accompanied the latter to the cape as private secretary in 1881. A year later he was taking part in the suppression of Arabi Pasha, and though wounded recovered in time to serve as chief of staff to Gen. Middle ton against Riel in the Canadian rebel lion of 1885. He also had experience of the horrors of Paris during the com mune, and at another time was impli- cated with the Carlists in Spain.
 In earlier days Lord Minto distin- Euished himself at Cambridge in vari- ous ways. On taking his degree. for instance. he entered the senate house with his bachelors gown covering a highly unaeademic costume which end ed in brooches and boots. At the con- rlusiou of the ceremony he. mounted his horse, galloped ten miles and reached his destination just in time to win the University steeplechase. Later he' rode in the Grand National five times. He also won the French Grand National, being the only amateur Jockey in a field of IS.

 Go Makes Report.

New Haven. Oct 5.-The semi-an- nual report of the New Haven Trust Go as receiver of the Connecticut Life Insurance Go of Waterbury was filed yesterday in the superior court. The affairs of the company up to October 3 are shown in the report. Two pieces of property in Waterbury have been sold for $7.000, and $4 200 paid to the c. M. Platt estate on secured claim. A representative of the trust company is now in Spokane, Wash, trying to dispose of valuable lands there.

 On June 15. the superior court or dered that funds held by the receiver be applied to the payment of mortuary and policy claims against the company until they are fully paid, and if any balance is held this should be applied to the payment of general claims.

ONE VOTE THAT GOT AWAY
It Happened Because the Bass-D Drum mer Didn't Get In Licks
 Enough to Suit.

When the late Melbourne H. Ford made his run for congress he over looked nothing that he thought would improve his chances of election. One of hls moves was the taking of an or chestra to meeting held in one of the small towns near Grand Rapids, re- lates the Detroit Free Press.
 This generous departure may have won him several votes, but 1t unques- tionably lost him one. Every village has its character, and the one there was Uncle Ike"
 Whenever that orchestra broke forth Uncle Ike" fastened a fierce glance upon the bass drummer. During the ordeal the jaws of the village charac- ter worked lie those of buck rabbit eating cabbage, and his white beard of the spinach pattern waved furiously in unison. Next morning one of those who had watched the actions of Uncle Ike" drew him out on the subject, keeping in mind that he played the bass drum in the local "sheepskin" band. and that jealousy seems an ln- separable part of the musical tempera- Hlent. ,nl. moop 7 "I suppose that you'll vote for Ford, Uncle Ike?"
 Then you better hire some smarter feller to do your supposlnr. No man kin have my support that wastes his own money like it was water"
 What do you mean. Uncle Ike?"
 "Well, you hain't no musicianer, but I'd like to know what sense there was in payin' out omney fur haulin' that bass drum and the man with 1t clean out here. He didn't hit the durned thing more'n four times, and he was out O tune every doggone hit"

UNDEsERvED REPUTATION.
What Is Considered Economy of Tims in This Country Is Regarded
 as Haste Abroad.

Americans have the reputation of al- ways being in hurry. Prof. Munster berg believes this is uhdeserved In his book, "The American" he says. Superficial observers have often sup posed the American to be always in a hurry, whereas the opposite is the case. The man who has to hurry has badly disposed of his time. and therefore has not the necessary amount to finish any one piece of work.
 "The American Is never in a hurry, but he so disposes of his precious time that nothing shall be lost. He will not wait, nor be moment idle. One thing follows closely after another with admirable precision. Each task is finished in its turn. Appointments are made and kept on the minute; and the result is that not only no unseen ly haste is necessary, but also there is time for everything.
 "It is astonishing how well-known men in political, economic or intellect ual life, who are loaded with thou sand responsibilities and an apparent ly unreasonable amount of work, have, by dint of the wonderful disposition of their own time and that of their assistants, really enough for every thing and even to spare.
 Among the many things for which the American has time by reason of his economical management of it are even some which seem unnecessary for the busy man. He expends for exam pie, an extraordinarily large fraction of his time in attending to his cos tune and person, in sport and in read ing newspapers. so that the notion which is current in Europe that the American is not only always in a hurry, but has time for nothing outside of his work, is entirely wrong"
