HARM -NEW H.AYEN.

The second of February, and hardly frost enough in the ground to war rant a February thaw. Everybody ex- cept dealers in "seasonable' goods is pleased with the glorious climate. and those who are not pleased with 1t have become more or less resigned because they have to be, and because they per- eeive that the Winter of their discon- tent will soon give way to Spring, vixen they can sell ''seasonable" goods, And as the Spring seems likely to be a long one perhaps they will be able to make both ends meet in 1t.
 We do not think New Haven is about to become senpi-t7opical, though it is in many ways a warm place. Whatever it is about to become, it will be all right, and we ought to be prouder and prouder of 1t. Especially should we be proud of the great school that is here. Made in Germany is all over the world, and perhaps our Chamber of Commerce could arrange to have Made in New Haven" conspicuously attached to all the products of our school. What an advertisement 1t would be!

NOT AWAKE roo SOON

It is more and more evident that the people are not waking up too soon to the need of doing something to protect Niagara Falls from the hand of the spoiler who wants to make the Falls work themselves out. Great corpora tions, covering both the Canadian and American falls, are busy with their plans for transmitting electric power to Syracuse and perhaps to New York city. The right of way has been bought through strip of land varying from 100 to 300 feet in width through the 160 miles from Niagara river to Syracuse. On this ribbon of land through New York State the company is erecting fif- teen hundred steel towers fifty-five feet high and each set in a concrete base. Each tower or wooden frame has three insulators to support the three alumi- mum cables which carry the power. These insulators are the largest ever made and weigh seventy-fve pounds apiece pounds of specially made porcelain of grade better than domestic crockery. The cables support ed on these towers each has nineteen strands-in fact, there Is 12,000 miles of heavy aluminium wire in this trans mission line to Syracuse. The power will be sent over these cables at a volt age of 60,0O0. Roughly speaking, seven tower lines can be built on this right of way, and if a market were found for the power it would be possible to send 90, O,000-horsepower to Syracuse or 200,- 000- horsepower to Rochester.
 These are great times, and business is business, but the people of the Unit ed States have some sentiment left in them, as they have shown in the mat ter of Old Ironsides And they don't want Niagara Falls made into nothing but water-power, or horsepower.

HONOR IN THE GERMAN ARMY.

Duelling in the German army is at tracing a little attention now, just as it has occasionally done before. The periodical debate on the subject hap pened in the German Reichstag the other day. A clerical deputy directed attention to the case of 6 lieutenant who had been dismissed from the ser vice by local Court of Honor, at Muhlheim, for refusing to challenge man who had insulted him, but had been convicted in a court of law of a wllful and provocative libel. The Prus- sian war minister, Gen. von Einem, approved the procedure adopted by the Muhlhefm Courtof Honor, and remarked that only one duel between officers had taken place last year. He conclud- ed by reading a communication to the House from Prince Buelow, which pointed out that, while the Emperor Williams rescript of the year 1897 had materially restricted the limits within which duels were permissible, further restrictions could only be imposed by means of the Penal Code, which was now in process of revision. Until this work had been accomplished, German officers could not tolerate among them selves any man who was not prepared, if need be, to defend his honor weapon | i'll hand. The chancellors statement was received with long and prolonged protest on every side of the House ex- 1 cept among the Conservatives. While the Radicals and Social Democrats re- preached Prince Buelow with indlffer- ence to the law the Clericals describ- ed the statement as unworthy of a | Christian Chancellor. Herr Roeren de- clared that he could never have heliev- ed that a public and official statement
 would be made in the Relchstag in de- fence of a practice which was fla
 grant breach of the laws of God and
 man.
 Perhaps there are too few duels ir
 the German army instead of too many
 Possibly if many German officers
 should kill each other the result would
 be good.

FREE TRADES FELL YORK.

The national political campaign is not actively on in this country, but when 1t is the talk of the protectionists in England will be useful. Free trade, say they, has not prevented the rapid multiplication of millionaires and gi gantic industrial and commercial com binations in England, and is palpably failing the worker The foreign policy aims at destroying the British indus tries piecemeal, and they have succeed ed so far that numerous forms of em- ployment that once flourished in Eng land have either ceased to exisr or are in a dying state. The sugar bounties killed the sugar refining industries and ruined the West Indian colonies. Eng fish manufacturers, Tn shoals, instead of exporting their products to foreign countries as formerly, are removing to or opening branches in those countries to produce the goods inside the tariff wall, because they can no longer climb that ever rising barrier, and so indus tries leave England and thousands of unhappy men tramp the streets discon- solately asking for work. Absolutely alone among the great nations, Eng land continues to lmport-free of tariff, toll or tax-the products of foreign ri- yals, while increasing numbers of it's own workers are idle. In 1900, when England imported e12S,OOO,OOO worth of foreign manufactures, 2.9 per cent. of its own organized workers were unem- ployed. In 1903, when she imported e134,OO0,0OO worth, she had. 5,1 per cent. unemployed, and in 1904, when she im- ported E135 100000 worth, the unem- ployed figure was,6,5 per cent. While she had 6,5 per cent. of her trade union members out of work, protectionist l Germany had not more than per cent. unemployed, and for every person who left Germany six left England in order to gain their livings in protectionist countries and colonies.
 And so forth and so on. Free trade is still approved in England, but there is a growing protectionist party.

Free water drinking is, according to a physician who writes in Outing, an Important essential to vitality and to the development of staying power. All ithe operations of the body, digestion, assimilation, absorption, elimination of poisonous waste and so on, are carried on by means of water; and an insuffi- cient amount of water in the system means embarrassment of every func- ton. The body of a man of average weight contains more than half a bar rel of water; and such a body needs for it's proper operation at least two quarts daily of pure water, Tn this con- nection 1t may not be irrelevant to mention that the Japanese soldiers, whose surprising powers are now en- gazing the admiration of the world. consume each between two and four gallons of water daily.

Since the organization of the military school for training of the young princes and sons of nobles was decided on, the Chinese government has been inundat- ed with applications for professorships from military experts of all countries, supported by their diplomatic repre- sentatives at Pekin. Evasive replies were given in all cases, but 1t was thought probable that those coming from Austria would have the prefer ence, there being no diplomatic or oth- CT complications between the two gov ernments, and the organization and training of the Austrian army, espe- cialiy of the cavalry, being reputed to bc equal to that of the best army in Europe.

It is told of Schliemann, the exhumer of buried cities of the ancient world, that he was pursued by ill-luck in his earlier undertakings. Mentioning the fact to friend, the latter asked him which leg and arm he first inserted in trousers and coat. Schliemann said he habitually inserted the right. That is the cause of your misfortunes," said his friend. You have offended the left hand fairies and they take out their vengeance on you. Reverse your habit and see," And" said Schliemann in telling the incident in his later and prosperous years, you see how it changed my luck"

The Trenton Times interviewed Bish- op John Scarborough on proposed leg islation about the saloons. Put me down in favor of high license" said the bishop. "That, in my opinion, is the only solution of the liquor problem; high license, limited number of saloons and stringent restrictions. I would make the license for cities like Trenton and larger $1,0OO per year and limit the saloons to number much smaller than now exist Tn smaller towns and coun- try districts I would favor lower li- censes, but in all cases would make 1t high enongh to serve as an incentive to the licensed man to obey the law himself and to help see that others obeyed it."

TRIALS OF E. W. HOWE
Editor of the Atclison Globe Relates
Some Early Experiences.

Atchison, Sept. 19.-The Globe saws:
Twenty-Five years ago The Globe was
published on the second floor of the
building now occupied by Latenser's
music store. The lower floor was then
occupied as a grocery, conducted by
June Moore, manager of the Topeka
branch for the Symns Grocery company.
and there was a stairway leading up-
stairs from the front of the building.
which has since been removed. The fol-
lowing story is told for the benefit of
the so carriers, who circulate the paper
today, and who get their papers printed
and folded from B modern perfectinE
press, which runs off the entire edition
Of over $500 in a little more than half
an hour.
A quarter of century ago things were
different in The Globe office. Less than
q thousand papers were printed, but
this required most of the afternoon
They had to be printed on one side and
then turned and printed on the other
and the press was an old fashioned
Campbell cylinder. operated by hand
power No electric dynamos or gasoline
engines in Atchison in those days. After
the papers were printed the carriers had
to fold them before leaving the office.
and the process of printing was so slow
that an hour and a half or two hours
elapsed between the time the first car
rier got his papers and the last one was
supplied It was therefore important
that carriers get as near the top of the
list as possible. The office had a rule
that the first carrier to pay for his pa
pers Saturday morning wouRl be first
on the list the entire week, and this soon
led to some of the more enterprising
carriers getting in line at the office as
early as O'Clock in the morning.
When the fall Of the year came
around it was a cold job standing
around waiting for the Office force to
appear at o'clock. The writer was
among the carriers who used to SILVER
for two or three hours in front of the
Office Saturday mornings Will Glenn
now general agent of the Colorado
Southern. at Denver, was another, and
Cliff Berry, now dead, another. This
trio hit upon a plan of cutting out the
cold wait An Office key was borrowed
from Harry Ford, then q. reporter. and
they used to put in Friday nights in the
office, sleeping on folding tables. and
keeping up q. nice, warm fire. Some time
during the night they would jeff for
first, second and third places on the
carriers list.
One night the fire department made q
run down Commercial street, and the
three boys hurried downstairs to fol-
low it. The writer was the last one
out, and he pulled the door shut after
him. leaving the key on the inside It

zionists Choose VoIiva for Leader
Almost Unanimously.

Chicago, Sept 19.-Wilbur voliva was
chosen by the people of Zion City as
their leader by the overwhelming vote of
1,911 to for his opponent. A. n. Mills.
The election was held under orders of
Judge Lands of the United States dis
trict court, who was asked soGe time
ago to settle the controversy between
John Alexander Dowie, founder of the
church, and Voliva, as to who should
have control of Zion City. Believing
that the best way to settle the difficulty
was to let the people of Zion City choose
their own leader, Judge Lands ordered
the election and the vote is the result
The action of the zionites practically
makes John Alexander Dowie an OUT

which he established several years ago
and which has now grown to large pro-
portions Dowie, who is in feeble health
refused to recognize the authority of the
court in ordering the election and did
not present himself as candidate.
