are being formed in every ward. To-
night the third ward democrats will
organize. The democrats are at last
beginning to realize that these clubs
are the strength of Il party in a com
munity. There is no denying the
fact that the republican club in this
city was a large factor in placing that
party in control here.
The Fordyce movement is going to
add considerable interest to the cam
paign. The Dayton man is like Colby
in his manner of going after the nom
nation, but he has a different propo-
! sition TO contend with. Colby's cam
paign was in a metropolitan county.
The voters he wanted to reach we're
concentrated. He could talk to many
at one time and thus was able to have
! practically every voter in the county
hear him. He could address hundreds
of men during the noon hour at a fac
tory and could easily Jump from
place to place.
Mr.. Fordyce has a different propo-
sition to face and his chances of sue
cess are correspondingly reduced.
Middlesex is, taken as a whole, a rur-
al county. The voters are scattered
over a large territory. 1t is impossi-
Bile to move from one community TO
the other quickly and when the vari-
ous communities are reached but few
voters can be found in each place.
Where Colby in Essex could hold
three or four meetings within a short
time and address 1000 or 5000 men.
Fordyce can address but on or posi-
bly, two meetings and talk to but 400
or 500 men. 1t is the difference be-
tween working in the country with a
small population scattered over a
large area, and working in the city
with a big population concentrated
within a few square miles.
There is another difference he
tween MiddleseX and Essex. Colby
worked in a county where the nomi-
nation on the republican ticket was
practically as good as election. For
dyce has a big democratic vote to
contend with. MiddleseX used to be
strongly democratic and it has only
been during the recent trouble among

AETNA LIFE PROSPEROUS.

The Past Year Was Satisfactory in Its
 Business Figures That Tell
 the Story.
 It is not easy to grasp the enormous figures shown by Aetna Life's return for the past year: Income, S16 960, ,470; disbursements, .$11, ,903 S94; income in ex- cess of disbursements, $5O56,576; pay ments to policy holders during the year, $766, 186, and total of $l53, zoo, ,407 paid to policy holders since the company was organized in 1S50-fiftyfive years ago-- about s5,0OO,000 every year. In the past year the company's payments to policy holders were over $200,000 every day in the year. Sundays included. The as- sets of this great company now amount to SIS, PAT ,5O4 an increase of $5,551, S25, and there is an increase in the guaran- tee fund over requirements, of $519, 766.
 To whatever extent some companies may have suffered from the New York investigation, the Aetna Life's figures of the years business are certainly sat isfactory alike to its managers and it's policy holders Policies to the enormous amount of $S0,277,69S were written dur ing the year. and the total in force on January 1, 1906, was $25O. .S5S,315, divided among 237,952 policy holders These in- creased in number by 12,941 during the year. The increase in life insurance in force was $13553,576, and in accident in- surance, $1S61 ,S54 This latter Is now an important feature of the business, for the Aetna Life is the largest com pany in the world writing life. accident, health and liability insurance.
 The details of the annual return pub lished in another column, afford inter- esting statistics, especially the column of assets, with It's great array of fg- ures representing cash and securities, the latter, on a conservative estimate, showing value of $27O3, 900 in excess of what they cost the company, This speaks well for the conservative char acter of the management.

A CENTENARIAN.

Mother of Professor A. M. Wheeler of
 Yale.
 The Newtown Bee in its Easton cor- respondence says:
 Your correspondent had the pleasure one day last week of calling at the home of Stephen D. Wheeler, and shak- ing hands and enjoying a chat with his mother, Mrs. Eliza F. Wheeler, who on August 15, 1905, celebrated the tooth an- niversary of her birthday. Mrs. Wheel CT is still able to be about her home, and takes an active part in the work of the house. When your correspond ent called she was dressing chick en- Mrs. Wheeler is also able to read a little yet Her hearing is about per- feet and all her faculties are well pre- served. She remembers well the days of the old stage coach, and when there were only few horses in town, and their stores in what is now Bridgeport, and can tell many interesting things of those days so many years ago. She was born in the town of Bedding on August 5, 1905, and was a daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Fairchild of this place.
 
 When young she moved to New York state. where she resided until about fif- teen years of age. when she returned to Easton, and on October 3, 1927, she was married to Willis Wheeler, who died several years ago. After their marriage they came to live in their pres ent home. where she has since resided. Mrs. Wheeler has three sons living, F. R Wheeler and Stephen D. Wheeler of Easton, and Professor A. M. Wheeler of Yale college. Two sons, James A. Wheeler and Reuben Wheeler, and one daughter, Harriett E. Wheeler, are de- ceased. Mrs. Wheeler has had long and useful life, and has always been a hard working woman, and we trust she may yet be spared to see her 101st birthday anniversary.

Furthermore, the diners sit down promptly at 6:15 p. m. and the banquet is adjourned at 10 o'clock.

A TRIBUTE

To the Late Rev. Frederick s. Root.
 The Rev. Artemas J. Haynes, pastor of the United church, in a brief talk at
 the funeral of Rev. Frederick Stanley Root on Saturday, January 20, said: ''In this age when so many are boWlng
 the knee to idols, it is always inspiring to find man, whether or not we agree
 with him, who stands on his own rect, thinks his own thoughts, speaks straight out his deepest convictions, and lives, under all circumstances, a free life. Such man was MT. Root a man of rare ability and of even rarer courage. Doubtless he had his faults, but they were as eddies in the swift, deep stream of virtuous manhood Those who knew him best loved him most. What greater testimony can be given to mans charms of personality and integrity of character? Sorrow came with me to this house to-day, not alone because death has robbed me of a fast ripening friendship, but because there Is a greater loss-greater than mine, greater than your own, greater than even that of the stricken wife the loss to the community, the loss to that high cause of social justice, which
 calls so insistently for men who will offer themselves upon the altar of hu-
 manity. To that cause I dedicate the memory of this man. It is not for us to ask how much he accomplished; it
 Is enough to know that he was brave
 fighter, that he put the cause of the peopie above his personal ambitions;
 enough to know that he was loving husband faithful friend, and loyal citizen; enough to know that while he passed through great transitions of thought he never lost out of his soul that vision of the ideal, that came to him when he heard the call of God go forth, as did the great Master, to strive against the inhumanities and tyrannies of life. The good God has called him again; and this time he has gone forth into some wider field of activity. He cannot come back to us, but we shall go to him; and until that time let us live faithfully, in patience and in hope awaiting the hour of our deliverance."

SYRlANS ON TRIAL.
ACCUSED OF HAVING SET FIRE TO
 1HEiR STORE
Evidence Given Against the Prisoners The Stock Was Only Worth $500 While Insurance Carried Amounted to $4,OOO.


 The cases of Joseph and Thomas Co., rey the Syrians, who are changed with having set fire to their grocery store at 196 State street, on January g last, for the purpose of collecting about $4,000 insurance on their stock, went on trial in the city court before Judge Tyner yesterday morning at 10;30 0 clock, and continued until 1 o'clock, when a recess until 2 o'clock was talk en. When the court reconvened it oc- cupied the entire afternoon, and will be taken again to-day on account of the thirty or more witnesses, who are being examined at length.
 Fire Marshal Gladwin, Assistant Chief Perkins, Captain Chapman and Lieutenant Reil, all of the fire depart- ment, were examined in the morning, and appeared in behalf of the state. They testified that when they reached the fire it was burning in two places, one in the cellar and the other on the main floor.
 Alpin Assid, the principal witness for the state, testified that on the day be- fore Thanksgiving he had heard the brothers planning to set fire to the store In order to get the insurance. He then went away on the road selling goods and when he got back on Jan uary Is, and heard of the fire, he ac- cused the brothers of having set it in order to get the insurance, and that they practically acknowledged to him, he says that they did set 1t.
 Attorney Sullivan, who appears for the accused, cross-examned the wit ness for about three-quarters of an hour. The witness denied that he bore any i'll will against the accused or that he was tryin gto injure them. He fur ther denied that he had made any ad- missions to George Barbary, who Is now under arrest charged with having tried to bribe Assid, and whose case will be settled as soon as the present ones are finished.
 Witnesses were examined to show that the stock in the store was only worth little over $S0O while the in- surance on this was about $4,O00.
 There are number of insurance men in court attending the trial, and sev- eral of these will testify.

THE BUSINESS MAN OF THE EAST

The life of the business man in the coast city is as bustling as that of his fellow on the other side of the States only there is this difference. In the Northwest he work just as steadily, but you find him behind tn counter or at the desk an hour earlier and he re- mains an hour or two later, so that he puts in about 25 per cent more of the day. He has the telephone at his el- bow, his sternographer within range of his voice ready for dictation at mo- ment's notice. He has the time sav- ing and labor saving system down to fine point. Yet, despite the day after day of keeping at it, the bald heads are few Nor do men grow gray be- fore their time. Their nerves stand the strain despite the truly strenuous lives they lead Why? Because they have not let the chef get the bet ter ftheir stomaehs, their homes in the heart of the out-of-doors are filled with fresh air from the sea and foun- tain. The sunlight can come in on all sides They do not need a morning bracer, so that there is not so much temptation to dissipate. They prove that work will nit break you down if you keep yourself in trim for the tasks of each day.-The Outing Magazine.

Miss Myrtle May, excuse ne pray For addressing you thus In an off hand way. Though a stranger to you, You're not a stranger to me For I've read your poems In Couriers three. The Sil- yer, Wedding, touched a tender spot as thought of my ma and pa who are not, for they're gone from this earth to the realms above, where all is peace coffee and layer cake, ohl are they such as my ma could makei But those days have gone and I'm lonely and sad! And as I come to the years of discretion, I wish I had-Had what? ?-- why got married as your pa said all young men should do But I've passed twenty-eight And I fear it's tod late And 'Serilla's Love" is touching and sweet And shows the love of woman so deep! It makes me sort of remorse full, For I .once-But I dare not rel veal what deep in my heart I feel. From your lines I know you live on farm Which ever my lone heart did charm. My heart with sadness will overflow If I write any more.
