in official life than any other member
of her sex, yet never so much as once
has she let her tongue slip when
mum" was the word, and this is more
than can be said of some men of exalt-
ed position.
Moreover, Speaker Cannon's conf
dence in his daughters discretion and
common sense is shared by the leaders
in the lower house of Congress who
have occasion to confer frequently
with the presiding officer. Many of
these confidential confabs are held at
the unpretentious uncovered brick
house which constitutes Speaker Can
mons Washington home, and many
times a newcomer at such a conference
has been surprised to see the wheel
horses of our national Legislature freely
telling state secrets before the hostess.

When Congress is not in session,
Miss Cannon is mistress of her fathers
home at Danville, Illinois. There, as
in Washington, she is always prepared
for company, for the Speakers married
daughter with her children, spends
much time at the Cannon home, and
relatives and friends always feel free
to drop in" at almost any time.

Maritime Interests Excited.

For several hours maritime inter-
ests were intensely excited by the I'M
heard-of presence of an iceberg in the
bay. Later, when the true story of the
wonderful feat was flashed over the
wire, it seemed so utterly incredible
that the excitement, if anything, was
increased. 1t was not until one of the
fastest tugs in the harbor had steamed
down the bay and wired verification of
the story that the panic was allayed.
Only the providential cooperation of
the winds and tides, and the most ia
vorable weather conditions enabled
the tug to accomplish the feat. In spite
of the almost inconceivable risks at
tendant upon the berg's capture, not a
member of the tugs crew was injured.
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-05-05
Two Men Frost.Bitten.

Two men suffered from bad frost
bites, but this was due to their own
carelessness in Drawing the arctic tenn
perature in the berg's vicinity without
proper clothing. Their experience was
a warning to the rest of the crew, and
when the tug with the prize passed the
Breakwater every man aboard was
muffled as if for a Peary relief expedi-
ton.
The length of the iceberg was 500
feet, and it is estimated that it will
yield fully 100000 tons, which isnearly
sufficient to make up the shortage in
ice crop due to the mild winter The
work of cutting up the mountain of ice
will have to be pushed because of the
rapidity with which it will melt under
the spring sunshine.
The monster berg was captured off
the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
1t was made fast at great risk by the
daring men on the tug, who, in small
boats tied staunch ropes around the
mountain of ice, and then let out a
long tow-line from the tug and, with
graphing hooks, secured fastening
which held firm after several attempts
had resulted in failure. The crew Of
the tug will share in the money the
prize will yield, AS icebergs are brok-
en- off portions of glaciers, the ice
yielded will be of good quality.

Lack of Interest.

1t is certainly to be regretted that
the American people have so long
neglected the most beautiful fall Of
water in the world, and have allowed
any part Of it to be converted to pri-
vate gain or corporate greed.
Even now, in the face Of all that
has been said and written on the
subject, there seems to be an attitude
of half-heartedness on the part OF
the people to act, which is well Illus
trated by the fact that Senator L'Hom-
medieu, of the New York State legis-
lature, has asked the Senate to kill hi
bill restricting the taking Of water
from Niagara River above the falls for
power purposes and says in defense
Of his action, II cannot find any senti-
ment in favor of protecting Niagara
Falls, and I'm tired of being attacked
on the subject Of my bills relating to
this subject"
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-05-05

If anything is to be accomplished
In the matter it is necessary to act
at once, for if more corporations OBJ
tain control of the water rights it
will be impossible for either the nation
or New York State to repurchase them
without an absolutely enormous ex-
penditure of money.

AUTO ROUTE TO JAMESTOWN EsX-
 POSITION SELECTED.
August Post, the Famous Expert, In

August Post, the Famous Expert, In spects Southern Roads.
 An auto route to the Jamestown ex- position from Washington, D. C., has been selected by August Post, of the American Automobile association. It is expected that the route selected will be adopted officially by the association at it's next meeting, and followed on ts trip to the Jamestown exposition next year.
 MT, Post has completed trip from Norfolk to Washington via Suffolk, Richmond and Fredericksburg and re. turned by the Shenandoah valley and the Three Chops roads
 Speaking of his trip Mir. Post said: Unlike the roadway from Norfolk to Washington via Suffolk, Richmond and Fredericksburg, the route from Wash ington to Richmond through the valley is one of the most delightful and pie turesque in the country The highway Is between the Blue Ridge and the AL leghany Mountains and is constructed of macadam almost its entire length. The distance is estimated at four hun dred and fifty miles"
 The tour of the association will start at Chicago, Indianapolis and Colum- bus More than one hundred and twenty-five cars will participate, car rying about three hundred and fifty tourists. The cars will be driven over tthe national highway to Washington, where the party will be joined by the eastern contingent, and the run made to Norfolk over the route indicated.
 Now that route traversing such a beautiful and historic section has been selected, opening up new roads for au- tomobile travel MT. Post believes that hundreds of autoists will avail them selves of the splendid natural condi- tions and visit the exposition.
 Plans for a series of speed contests between members of the association are being considered.

TRTo OF LITHUNANrANs.
Want Books in Their Language.

Want Books in Their Language.
 Three strange looking men entered Mayor Henney's office Monday after noon, and made the mayor feel un- comfortable as they stared at him as if stumped for words. Finally one of them who was the tallest of the trio, stepped forward and said with great effort and profuse gesturing:
 we Lithuanian. No read nothing. We want read. Books? No"
 The mayor was perplexed. They re- peated it over and over and beads of precipitation stood out conspicuously on the face of the speaker from his efforts.
 The mayor finally calmed the speak CT, and by analysing each suggestive word separately he made out that his visitor were Lithuantans They had been to the Hartford public library and could not find any books that they could read. They demanded that books in the Lithuanian language be placed in the library for them. The mayor referred the men to Miss Hewens, the lhraVtan-z5artdord Times.

 The catalogue of the Connecticut Az ricultural College is being distributed. The catalogue is profusely illustrated buildings, the nature of the work done in class and on the farm, and is de- signed to call the attention of prospec- tive students to the many attractive features of life at Storrs.

A com- plete outline of possible courses is made to enable the student to grasp the wide possibilities of so combining his studies as to gain the benefit of general culture study at the same time that he is specializing in his chosen field of work.
 A register of the student enrolled in its, institution last year shows a total oA AV'' iiiNHt VI "lolu WSIo llolIl NOh- necticut. Not few of the special and of the summer and winter session students come from other states, how ever.
 The work of the government agricul- tural experiment station is well por- trayed in twenty-five pages fillus- trations on experiments in spraying trees with the San Jose scale, in the feeding and care of dairy cattle, and the fattening of hogs for market. The catalogue as a whole we'll illustrates the variety of work done in a modern school of instruction in practical farm ing.
