REPUBLIoAN GONFID ENCE

The political situation in Connecticut is apparently so devoid of danger that Republicans are declining to get scared, even when besought to get SC by their trusted leaders who know that the way to be safe is to be scared enough to vote. In New York there is more excitement, but no great fear among Republicans. Perhaps there isn't enough The New York Press thinks there isn't, and again it gives warning that the Republicans of this State who are dreaming joyous cam paign dreams, may awaken to find that they have been in a fools paradise. '' It adds: The melancholy truth is that hundreds of thousands of voters in New York have chelr minds crammed with the idea that the Republican par ty has become a part and parcel of those mercenary private interests which have been preyng on the public until the people are unquestionably rls- ing in rebellion. Not only Democrats and independents, but. Republicans have doubted whether any man offered by the conventional methods of the party's nominating machinery could rise superior to the evil influences of present. conditions if he wanted to. And the danger was that, no matter how good man these dissatisfied and suspicious citizens might concede Mir. Hughes to be, no matter how much faith they might have in his incorrupti- billty and his high purpose to serve the people, they must persist in believing he could be baked by the sinister sys- tenn against which American manhood has rebelled.
 This is true enough to be sobering The Republicans of New York have a big job on their hands, and they should be wide awake to its size and to the importance of doing 1t thoroughly.

All this is to be changed by an order from the President and by virtue of law enact ed at the last session of congress. Gen. eral orders announcing that extra pay and the eligibility of the marine for the gunnery prizes will be issued from the Navy department this week.

THUS ENDhrH ONE MORE LESSON.


 One by one the roses fall, and one by one experiments in government owner ship" fail. It is announced that after fourteen years of experimenting the United States government has awarded to private concern the contract for printing the countrys postage stamps. This has been done at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, whose bids were regularly below cost. This led many people to believe that the work was being done far more cheaply by the government than it could be by a private concern. But these people fail ed to note that every year congress made up the difference by special defi- ciency appropriation. As soon as con- gress compelled the Bureau of Engrav- ing to compete with private firms on a fair basis the American Banknote Con- pany walked off with the business, thus clearly demonstrating that, even in this field, the government cannot compete, What are we coming to? Will it by and by be discovered that even the ini- tiative and referendum wont set every thing right?

WISEAND FIND.

The will of Joseph Widrewitz of New York is attracting some attention. He died not long ago, leaving an estate of $20,oOO. He w1lled a good share of his wealth to his widow, with stipulation that if she shall remarry she shall get an additional 5000 as a wedding pres ent
 Wise and benevolent Widrewitz. He knew his own value and his wifes value, He knew that he was sufficient ly blessed by the society and care of his wife as long as he could have them. He knew how well fitted she is to be the companion and the solace of some other man. And he had no mean dis position toward her. He would not try to sentence her to life of solitude and mourning just because she had happen ed to like him and be good to him. Oh no. He wanted her to have all the comfort she could get out of life was properly grateful to her for what she had done for him, and hoped that she would find better husband than he had been. Perhaps the chances are that she will not, but if she wants to try she can have the sweet satisfac- tion of knowing that her action will not disturb the wise and kind Widre- witz if he happens to be so situated that he can know about it.

The United States marines are going
 to have something told them that will please them. They are to be placed on the same footing as regards extra com pensation and the receipt of prizes as are enlisted men of the army in the former case and enlisted men in the navy in the latter, For a long time the marines who have taken part in rifle practice received no extra pay for efficiency in shooting, although their brothers of the army gained something in additional pay each month as expert rifiemen and sharp<

Freight and passenger steamers will soon be running up the Rio Negro as far as the mouth of the Tacuarembo-a point 400 miles from Buenos Ayres and about 500 miles from Montevideo. Later 1t is hoped to run them hundred miles beyond. This means much for the Uru- guayans. It will bring the products of 5000, ,000 acres for the first time within easy reach of markets. For lack of communication with proper markets, '' writes Consul O'Hara (Montevideo), "much of the best land in Uruguay, the eastern and central portion, has been but little developed. The soil is ex- ceedingly fertile and the climate almost ropical. It is said that this section is especially adapted to the raising of a very fine quality of tobacco; also to the growing of oranges, lemons, figs, grapes and peaches"

Made in Germany. Tn letter to the London Mail E, H. Owens says: "There is little doubt that the announcement that large order for motor omnibuses destined for London has been placed abroad in Germany will cause surprise to many of the British public Such vehicles can only be produced success fully by large engineering factories. Long since I strenuously endeavored to find even single firm in England who could undertake the manufacture of motor omnibuses to my design. But it was of no avail; all seemed quite afraid of embarking on the business, though I could guarantee many thousands of pounds worth of orders. And the re- suit was that was forced to go abroad, as I had had to do before for other en- gineering work"

Misery may not love company, but it usually has plenty of it. By inpover- ishing pastures the remarkably dry seummer has so diminished the flow of milk as to cause almost famine in England. The problem of supply is a very serious one in the large cities. Prices have advanced, at the least, to winter rates-about 15 per cent. above the ordinary-and only regular cus- toners can get sufficient milk, and they not always. In some localities prices have nearly doubled. Cheap adulter- ants are often used to increase the quantity dispersed by milkmen.

Some of the standing armies of Eu- rope are not very powerful affairs. The army of Monaco comprises 75 carab- ineers, the same number of guards and 20 firemen. The army of Luxembourg has 135 gendarmes, ITO volunteers and B9 musicians, but the law generously provides that in time of war the vol unteers may be temporarily increased to 25O. In the republic of San Marlno compulsory military service prevails, the result being that an army of 95C men and 3S officers can be summoned to the colors. One company of 50 men forms the army on peace footing.

COLLAR BUTTON IN THROAT
Boy Rapidly Dying When Doctor Rips
Open Windpipe and Saves
His Life
sneclal to The Herald


YORK, Pa, April 1S-In order to save
his life, DR.. H. r. Lecrone today cut
the throat of 12-year-old Andrew Rob-
ertson, who had partly swallowed a
collar button.
The boy was dressing for special exer7
cises at school, when he let his collar
button slip through his teeth. 1t lodged
in his larynx and prevented air from
reaching his lungs. He quickly lapsed
into unconSciousness, and a hurry-up
call was sent to DR.. Lecrone.
The physician arrived on the scene
without the proper information as to
the trouble, and seeing that the boy
was being suffocated. he drew one of
his small knives and ripped open the
lads windpipe and allowed air to flow
into the lungs from below the button.
The ambulance was then called and
the boy was rushed to tie hospital,
where the button was afterward re-
moved and silver tube placed in the
trachea. He was in serious condi-
tlon, however, and little hope is enter
tained for his recovery.

"Our experiences of the last few

lily troupe of acrobats which are to
appear at the Orpheum next week.
I'VE appeared at the Orpheum the
night before the earthquake. All OF
our properties were destroyed when
the Orpheum burned. We were stay
ing at the st. Francis. We just es-
capped with our lives. When we got to
the street we hired an expressman for
$50 to take us to the ferry depot. He
drove us through mobs of people who
acted as if they were insane. Even
then there was no Market street left.
1t was mass of seething flame, which
roared and cracked. with an occasional
resounding explosion adding to the
horror of the scene.
Soldiers were everywhere. We were
stopped eight times while we were on
the way from the st. Francis to the
ferry depot. 1t was only after the
most rigid sort of an examination that
we were allowed to proceed.
Flee to Golden Gate Park
"The people all seemed to be fleeing
to Golden Gate park, the only haven
of refuge left for them. Awful pic
lures of desolation met the eye on every
side. We expected to be killed at any
moment. Great structures of steel and
brick tottered and crashed to the
ground, filing the air with dust which
made breathing doubly hard. Suffocat-
ing clouds of smoke hung over the
business section and seemed to creep
along the ground in the trail of the
swiftly progressing fire.
"Deafening reverberations of eXplod-
ing dynamite numbed the nerves of tho
ear until no sounds could be distin-
guished.
