THE sCOvILL sMOKEsTACK.
May Be Discussed by Board of Health
 at To-night's Meeting.

In all probability at the meeting of the board of health this evening Health Officer Kilmartin, who has been looking over the smokestack of the Scovill Manufacturing Co, which has been a source of trouble for some time to the residents of Bridge street, will suggest that the board do something to abate the nuisance. It seems that there is only one stack that is causing trouble, but 1t keeps the neighborhood abundantly sup piled with ashes and cinders. It is located near Bridge street and is on high ground. consequently even though slight wind is blowing the houses near by get any amount of dust. The company will undoubted- ly be willing to do whatever the board suggests in regard to the same.

81. Petersburg, Aug, 1.-THE war
of terrorism, which the fighting or
ganizatton Of the social rcvolutionists
declared Immediately after parIia-
ment was dissolved, seems now to
have begun in earnest. From all
parts of tho empire the telegraph
brings the story OF attacks on police
officials of all classes, accompanied in
the majority Of cases by plumber. The
Polish revolutionists are especially
active. There is a veritable reign Of
terror from the Vistula to the German
frontier. Almost so cases Of aS5as.
Bination have been reported. The No
voc Vrcmya heads its list of murders

Night in Poland"
tbs resumption of terTOristic aCtiv-
ity on a'largc scale renders the task
OF the government more dificult and
darkcns the prospects of the present
ministry in accomplishing anything in
the direction of an aueliOratiOn of the
situation. While for the moment he
campaign of the terrorists is bound
TO increase the revulsion Of the more
conservative public opinion against
the wild excuses Of the extremists, 1t
is at the same time certain to force
the government to redouble the meas
ures of repression which it is claimed
will in the end drive public sympathy
back to support almost any means of
relief.
Some of the dispatches from Poland
assert that the break of terrorism
Is in retaliation for the wholesale ar
rests and oppression of the governor
general.

A Royal Name.

Before the heir to tne German throne
had been in the world long enough to
know whether he was going to like it
or not they broke tie news to him that
his naIuc was William.
Having in prospect the job of run
ming 50 large L country as Germany, il
was not necessary TO hand him one of
those acknowledgements AM so
popular with royalty that is obliged to
Impress the neighhorS in order to carry
out the bluff.
1t can generally be depended on that
the length Of a royal name is in in
verse ratio to the size of the kingdom
over which the kid expects to rule. If
it is Il power of the first class plain
Bill will do. but if II is one of those
toy Kingdoms that a ace horse man
can put in his vest pocket you IAN de
pend on it that his folks looked in the
back part of the dictionary for the six
or eight pages of anne and said to

Washington, D. c., Aug. 16. (Spl)-
President R~oosevelt's trip to Pana-
ma this fall. which in all probability
Will mark the beginning of one and
the beginning of another era of canal
construction, is likely to have an eye
opcn!-g and r~emodelling effect on
the public opinion concerning the pro
gTess of the work on the big water
way. The chief Executive is nothing
II not outsDOken. and it seems likely
that his trip will provide him with
some new impressions OF The m
dOus difficulties in the path of the
neutrality-suspicious. which, it is safe
to say, will be handed ont to the
public on his return. This should not
be taken TO NEAR that there will be
any falteTing in the work, or any
weakening in its support, but only
that the present fragmentary, varied
and often erroneous information con
corning it will be supplanted by an
honest conception. which is the thing
most to be desired. Mr.. Roosevelt. in
deed VIII occupy the position or IN
v~estigator for the whole country. The
need for such investigation, o in
the spirit of an%tagOnism but rather
Of truth. in order that the work may
he intclligently supported. is patent.
One has now simply to take his
choice of the Information which
comes, to be sure that the canal will
be finished in seven years, or that it
will never be finished. In other words
there is a CRYING need for a state
ment of the whole truth from a rcli-
able source, as it is generally admit
ted now that those reports which en-
thusiasm does not harmfullv eXagger-
ate in n way, personal dissatisfac-
ton as harmfully distOrts in the 9th
er. AS affOrding an opportunity TO
supply this need against. the day
when possible encouragement might
otherwise become too strong, the i'm
p%ortance of the Presidents trip can
hardly be Overestimated.

rivers and estuaries Of eastern Florida
and lives on submarine grass. Its body
is naked and stout. shaped like a fish.

in an expansive. spoon shaped tail. Its
front limbs are f1ippers. with partially
developed digits. on which are nails.
Eyes and ears are small. The manatee
can wiggle his broad nose like q rab-
bit. This animal is hunted for its
oil and flesh, and n Florida law pro-
hihits its expectation from the state

however. convinced the governor of
Florida that it would be a great lad"
for the state to have a manatee en-
exhibition in New York. and he was
induced to part with just Il for $1,000.
It IS said that the Spaniards thought

around its head. and at the time it
was observed an Indian girl in the
