ANNA DYER POLLARD.

In the recent death of Mrs. Pollard the state of Connecticut loses one of it's ablest and most useful women. As su- perintendent of schools in southington "a position she held against constant and well-organized opposition-she dis played mental qualities of a very high order Many believed that this position should not be occupied by a woman; she occupied it, however simply by demonstrating superior efficiency. Her positive ideas and forceful methods necessarily aroused antagonism, for 1t is only colorless and neutral characters who never make enemies. She triumph ed not merely because she had energy not merely because she had ideals, but mainly because she had brains. She was a gifted woman, who knew exactly what she wanted, and how to get It.
 have seldom seen anyone who had stronger combination of integrity and cerebration. She was absolutely unsel- fish; her aim was the intellectual, moral and spiritual advancement of the com munity in which she lived. She fought every influence she believed to be bad; she gave the best that was in her to whatever she approved. She allowed full credit to her antagonists, who were no doubt honest and sincere in thelr opposition, She was a good friend ana good foe. Those who attacked her must have admired her courage ana skill

Sha was a multitudinous blessing, A devout and zealous Christian, she worked faithfully in the service of her Master. Everyone knew where to find her, and when there was anything to be done she was there. In the field of ed- ucation. which was her speciality, her alert and vigorous mind knew no rest. Despite her strong and posltlVe conVlc- tions, she seemed to have no pre1udlces. Nothing pleased her more than a new idea. Her mind. like her personality, was spacious and hospltaolei she lived in the twentieth century
 It is surprising that a woman who worked with such unfiagging energy, and whose character was so robust, should have been so free rom stern ness and severity. have never seen an individual more cheerful. She had a keen sense of humor, and delighted in mirth and pure fun. Her human sym pathy was boundless, and in her pres ence melancholy and depression took flight. She was an optimist; she hoped for the best. and believed that it would come. She radiated both light and heat.
 Had she not worked so hard. had she spared herself, she would undoubtedly have liv.d longer. But like all great hearts, her aim was not to see how long she could live, but how much good she could do. She is more usefu! in the grave than are many of us who remain alive. She is not only beautiful mem ory, but a perpetual inspiration.

though one sat in a palm garden on
ltop OF an eight story building, slipping
tea in this arboreal retreat high up
over the sea. One hundred passengers
may occupy chairs in the palm garden
at the. same time and there enjoy the
flowers and ferns and vine covered
trelllses and hear the restful splash of
fountains with not suggestion from
inward appearances that they may be

An item of interest, and one which
comes little nearer home to most of
us, is the list of supplies required for
a single voyage. In this table on con-
tents" we read that the following items
last an ordinary trip across the Allan
tic: $4,000 pounds of meat, 1900
pounds of game and fowl, $500 pounds
OF fresh fish, $50 pounds of smoked
fish, $500 pounds of fruit, 80 boxes of
oranges, $4,000 dozen eggs. 10000
pounds of fresh bread, 5000 pounds of
canned meats, $500 pounds Of salt
meat and $4,000 pounds of flour. The
vessel being German it is interesting
to note that it will require 1000
pounds Of sauerkraut to get the ship
from one port to another and a compile
ment of $4,000 quarts of beer in kegs
and 1900 bottles of the same. Of 9th
er things that go to the tables of the
kaiserin Auguste Victoria there Is a
bewildering array, for it must be re-
membered that total of ALSO people

THE "BleeEsT SHIP"

Not only is there keen competition
among the great ocean transportation
companies to make the trip in little
less time than their rivals but there
is also a constant effort to have the
largest ship Many times it has been
thought that the limitsin shipbuilding,
as regards size, has been reached but
soon a floating palace that eclipses all
previous efforts is announced. No
doubt the first honors will not long be
held by the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
the latest biggest ship which has
just completed her maiden voyage and
is causing mild sensation.
Mere statistical dimensions cannot
be fully understood by the inlander
when applied to things that float upon
the sea, but there are certain figures
presented concerning the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria that are impressive. For
instance, this ocean-going skyscraper
has nine decks connected by electric
elevators as well as stairways. On the
upper promenade, known as the Kais-
er deck there is palm garden which
is something entirely new in marine
architecture. AS eight Of these nine
decks are above the water line it is as

ROYAL cLEMEhcY.

One of the first requests of the fu-
ture queen of Spain after crossing the
border to meet the king was plea
for clemency for condemned muir
derer and Of course the request was
granted. The people are delighted
WITH their queen to be. It makes no
difference to them that the man was
guilty of the crime charged or that
his sentence was deserved one.
There will be plenty of opportunities
for the unfolding of the majesty Of
the law and the melting out of justice
to the guilty. The new sovereign has
displayed an essentially womanly
trait and shows that she has human
sympathies and the people are glad.
1t has long been the custom for kings
or queens upon special occasions to
grant pardon to a desperate criminal
or by some other act of clemency en-
deavor to make the day one of rejoic-
ing to as many of the people as pos
sible. The action of Princess Ena was
an entirely natural one and has served
to win the love and admiration of the
enthusiastic and sentimental Span
iards. 1t is to be hoped that the reign
Of the king and queen may be as aus
picious as the beginning.

AN UNDERSIGNED COMPLIMENT.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
Commanding on the recent services
of the United States army at San
Francisco, leading English military
journal thus contrasts the attitude Of
the American people in reference to
the sudden substitution of military
law for civil law In the stricken city
with the TODD made by the English
people over recent necessary exer-
else Of military authority in Natal:
1T is much easier for the soldiers
Of the United States than for the SOL
,diers Of England to act with vigor in
the face of a crisis. There was no hys-
terical cutlery at the iniquity of Gen.
eral Fsunston's acts, no misplaced SYM
pathy with criminals who deserved
their fate, no pressure exerted on the
government by humanitarian cranks
to paralyze authority. How different
England appeared to the world in Natal
after a few weeks ago. American re-
straint in the late crisis served HUI
manity more truly than the hysteria
of sentimentalfsts in this country in
connection with the death sentences
in NATAL
The compliment to American com
mon sense Is all the more grateful be-
cause it is entirely undeserved. 1t is
true that no one made a very con-
spicuous idiot Of himself by bowling
over General Funston's tyranny" and
Cruelty" For wonder nobody de-
manded his court-martial. But this Is
an exception to the general rule. Com
monty the United States beats the
world for "hysterical outcry'' and
misplaced sympathy" on such, occa-
sions. and 1t has larger population
of humanitarian cranks" than any
other land on earth.
Officers of the army, remembering
the Philippines courts-martial. the Sa-
mar campaign and its crop Of senti-
mental Mysteries, the silly twaddle Of
some congressman and a lot Of news
papers over the storming of Mount
Dajo, the condemnation customarily
visited on every soldier who shoots a
rioter in the course Of his duty, and q
host of similar Incidents, will hardly
agree with its assertion that at is
much easier for the soldiers OF the
United States than for the soldiers Of
England to act with vigor In the face
of crisis" The fact is that every
officer Of the United States army
knows that he is Offering himself as a
candidate for the pillory and inviting
a court martial whenever he acts with
vigor in the face Of any crisis. Funs-
tons case was exceptional. Possibly
the public thought he had been pun
ished severely enough for capturing
Aguinaldo to give him some little lee
way in the future.
