II VeW Alarm.


AN INGENIOUS Pennsylvania has patented a
contrivance that completely overshadows all the bur-
glar alarms ever invented It is claimed that this
wonderful machine will ''call up the police station,
tell the at the other end of the phone to hurry
up, and to bring along the wagon and take away the
robbers" This is getting the science Of invention
down to fine point. We expect that ere this the
inventor has made improvements on his machine.
No doubt that by adding cog two to his contriv-
ance, the thing will be able to knock down the bad
burglar and place handouts on his wrists
We donot believe that this wonderful adaptation
will fill long felt want, do imagine that it's
inventor has made fortune from it's sale. It pos
sesses weak point that will not commend it in pref
erence to good paddock. AS ornament, 1t is
satisfactory; but safety burglar alarm it is not
practicable.

According to Mr.. Davis-and who, by the way was

sURpRIsE ron BBorHEB GALLUP.

It is uncommonly quiet in Connecticut this fall, but occasionally some one has a slightly agitating thought which he isn't afraid to let out. c. M. Gallup of Ledyard is one of the thoughtful and courageous ones. In the congressional convention in the Third district he got up on his hind legs and spoke against the free distribution of seeds, stating that he thought the congressman should be informed on how the district stood in this matter. He considered that the seeds were of no value and the movement had no friends. Then MT. Gallup was surprised. Free seeds have many friends, and those present when MT. Gallup spoke promptly laid his mo- tion on the table. He recovered enough to remark that he had no idea there were so many delegates in favor of the distribution.
 This incident teaches. It will be some time before the free seed business is again attacked in Connecticut. Free seeds are regarded by many as their share in the benefits of benevolent and beneficent government. They will not voluntarily give them up.

THE TRANsHAA1 NATIONALISTS.

The Constitution of the new Trans vaal National Association has been published. It advocates the principles of federation, the abolition of racial ism, cheaper means of living, co-opera- tion with the Boers, fair treatment of natives, complete self-government, no further importation of Chinese, and re- patriation of those now in South Africa on the expiration of their contracts. The Constitution is issued with man. ifesto which points out that South Af- ricans have to make white nation fit to take it's place beside the Canadian and Australian nations. It urges the elimination of racial prejudice from practical politics, and expresses the conviction that an overwhelming body of public opinion of both races favors a truly national policy The general principles of the association include self-g government in all internal and do- mestic affairs, with effective control of railroad policy, native affairs and ques- tions affecting Asiatics in the Trans vaal. Legislation is suggested embody- ing q reform of the mining and com pany laws in order to secure to the people a larger share in the mineral wealth of the country and to afford more adequate protection to investors, With regard to the Chinese, the mani festo refuses to consent to their re- maining in the country as free laborers and advocates legislation to prevent the renewal of Chinese contracts, the asso- citation being convinced that sufficient natives can be obtained, but that effec- tive steps to secure them will only be taken when made absolutely necessary by legislation.

She gazed upon him with a sigh; Twas seven years since they parted .She proudly bidding him goodby, He turning from her broken-hearted She Vividly recalled the place And each sad word that he had spokeni Hot tears had trickled down his face Her own heart had been nearly
 broken.
 Without her he had sadly said That life would be burden to him; She had supposed that he was dead, For he had left the haunts which
 knew him. He'd said that he must pine away Because she would not let him claim
 her;
 Her conscience since that dismal day. Had often reused itself to blame her She gazed upon him with a sigh,. Who once had left her broken-heart- He had not gone away to die, As he had promised when they part

4 SUFFERER.

There will be much sympathy with Mrs. Carrie Fisher of St, Louis, and she merits every bit of It. She is yoSed to a man who doesn't do right and doesn't talk right. She wants to be un- yoked, and she applied for divorce be- cause MT. Fisher was sabbath-break- CT and profane swearer. The specifl- cations were that he went fishing every other Sunday, and that he said Damn ftp in the bosom of his family. Judge Foster found the grounds frivolous. He saw no harm in the Sunday fishing. "A man has the privilege of saying damn every day in the week if things go wrong" he said.
 Hows that for man-made law, ap- piled by a man judge? Of course high courts have decided that damn" isn't really swearing, but Mrs, Fisher knows well enough what MT. Fisher means when he says it. And as for the Sun day fishing, a judge who can see no harm in it couldn't see harm in Sunday golf or perhaps evep in Sunday base ball. Perhaps Mrs. Fisher will not suf- fer MT. Fisher much longer. If she can't get legal divorce from him she can get her own divorce. She is evil dently much too good for MT. Fisher, and has long ago despaired of bringing him up to her lofty level.

 No Color Too Vivid and No Check Too
 Pronounced for London Fashiona-
 bles.
 It the windowa of the West End out- filters are any real criterion as to the autumn fashions the mere man is go~ ing to reve in gorgeous colors, A fem mine critic who took stock yesterday of the fashions in masculine wear dis covered that no color is deemed too vivid and no check too pronounced for the West End exotic who aspires to live up to the shop standard for the coming season.
 For the last half dozen autumns the pendulum of masculine fashion has swung between brown and green forthe lounge suit. This season 1t Is the turn of green. Brown is still in evidence, ranging in color from the bright tobac- co brown to deep chocolate, but a rich shade of green is the very new est of autumnal colorings, One fam ous Piccadilly establishment which ca- ters for the man about town came out yesterday in the full glory of a win dow given up to green felt hats.
 It is in the color of the necktie and the new knitted motor scarf that the brilliant hues most manifest them selves, and here again, every tone of green, from the most delicate Nile to the rich deep shade of meadow grass, tempt purchasers, Ties in old rose. shrimp pink, the aesthetic fraise, flame red and even tomato blends were to be seen in the Burlington arcade.
 Cinnamon is another of the new au- tumnal colorings, and old gold of pe- oullar intensity Is recommended as the dernier ori. Daring shot effects are striven after, purple and blue, scarlet and green and champagne and pink be- ing among the more sedate. The most striking design in ties was a green and gold check, the check being one and half inches square. Art shades are still in high favor.
 As many as half a dozen colors are introduced in the new silk motor scarfs which are also intended for even- Ing wear. Alternate stripes of green and pink and mauve and blue on a cream ground is one of the newest color combinations.

SOME RED. RED TAPE.

The United States is a straightfor- ward nation, but occasionally it has to go around little, For instance, in this Cuban business, when Governor Magoon in his capacity as ruler of Cuba has a communication to make to the United States he will make it through his secretary of state, who will send 1t to the Cuban minister at Washington. Minister Quesada will then visit tho state department and make known the communication to Secretary Root. Mir Root will then forward it to the secre- tary of war. MT. Taft will communl- cate it to the bureau of insular affairs Meanwhile Governor Magoon will pri- vately advise the war department of the whole affair, so that the whole course of official red tape will be mere ly for the sake of preserving appear ances and keeping straight Cubas rec ord as an independent nation. The re- ply will be made by the insular bureau to Secretary Taft, who will forward it to Secretary Root, who will communi- cate it to Minister Quesada, who will send it to the Cuban secretary of state, who will report it to Governor Magoon, who will have been privately advised by the secretary of war, of whose de- partment MT. Magoon is an officer,

Colonel W. A. Harris, who is running for governor of Kansas, used in a speech recently an apt western express sion to describe railroad rate regulation, "dehorning the railroads" He said: "All of you who have raised cattle know that years ago there was much trouble because of the long horns of the steers. One old fractious bossy steer would keep nearly all the rest away from the trough. A man suggested that the steers be dehorned. The So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals objected, but it was finally shown that the practice was beneficial to the animals themselves. We do not wish to injure the railroads or take one ten-cent piece away from them that is fightfully theirs but we do wish to de- horn them so that all of us may have an equal chance at the trough of pros perity,"
