FOR BREEDING PURPOSES.
A Vermont Man Offers His Farm to
 the Government.

Middlebury, Vt, Oct 24.-The or fer of large farm as a government breeding station for the perpetuation of the famous Morgan stock of horses was learned here to-day. Joseph Battell of this town has made appli- cation to deed to the University of Vermont, which is aiding the United States government in the promotion in the breeding of Morgan horses. an 500 acre farm at Weybridge. for a small annual rental. United States Senator Redfield Proctor. former Governor k. J. Ormsbee and Profes- sor J. L. Hills of the University of Vermont have already looked over the property and. 1t is understood. have favored accepting Mir Battells offer.
 Both the war and agricultural de- partments at Washington have taken an active interest in the breeding of Morgan horses. Some of the most famous war horses of the rebellion were of Morgan stock, notably Gen. eral Phil Sheridan's Rienzi, which carried the great cavalry leader on his memorable ride to Winchester.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
One of Most Prosperous Insurance
 Organizations in the City.

''The Knights of Columbus is one of the most prosperous insurance or ganizations in the city" said one of the founders of the order in this city to Democrat reporter to-day. "and it seems to me that those who are talking about changes have not given the subject much consideration. The bringing of all the councils into one body would make a very large mem- bership, and while 1t is true that it would reduce the number of officers. it is question if 1t would cut down expenses. A permanent secretary with an office somewhere in the cen ter would be a nice thing. but he would cost a great deal more than the secretaries of the different coun- cils now receive. I'm not aware that anything has happened in any of the councils which would warrant its going out of existence. and in case something of that sort should turn up in the future and the council be forced to the wall. as many of its members as are worthy of member ship in the order will find a home in the other councils. It seems to me that before taking any action on a matter of such importance those who have the matter fin hand should have consulted the state officers and see what they think of it. In any case. I don't think the proposition would be acted upon favorably in any of the four councils in Waterbury. and I think the best thing for those who desire consolidation Is to get together and organize a new council for them selves"
 This is one view of the matter. but a great many think that the money spent in maintaining so many eoun- cils would after a few years make up a sum sufficient to enable the organ izaiion to get hold of a home of its own and establish a clnh and reading room such as they have in other cities where the order was not established until long after it was introduced into Waterbury. They say that here in the birthplace of the founder of the order it is rather strange that the so- cfety shouid be renting quarters. and that they are of the opinion things never vill he different until all of them come under one head and work as unit for the establishment of per manent quarters

SING WHILE MEN EAT.
Rines Brothers, the Evangelists. Visit
 Hat Factories and Schools.

Danbury. Oct 24.--A novel method of evangelistic work is being carried out in this city by the Rines brothers, Harry and Burton, known as the Canadian singing evangelists. By special arrangement they visit hat factories and other mills during the noon hour and sing to the men while they are at lunch.
 They do not preach at these places, being wise enough not to appear to force their religion on the men ex- cept in a mild degree. By special permission also they sing at the open- ing exercises of the various schools, the business college and other places, visiting a different one each morn- ing. As they are good singers their services have been much enjoyed at these unusual places.

A RAILROAD WONDER.

tn Air Line Which Runs Under. gound . Good Many Miles.
 The latest and biggest project of David H. Mofiat. the Colorado railroad man. is an air nne from Denver to Salt Lake City over the continental divide. midway between the Union Pacific on the north and the Rio Grande on the south. says the New York Sun.
 Dave Moffat has dug down into his own pocket and built several railroads which nobody else had the courage to tackle. He made money every time. But the present proposition Is the stiff- est one he has encountered yet. As soon as the scheme was broached 1t met with opposition from the roads that would be affected by 1t. When 1t was suggested that Moffat was at last up against job too big for him and that he could not get route, one who knew him we'll remarked confidently: "A right of way block Dave Moffst? I guess not. If there's no other chance he'll cuss right of way through"
 He didn't have to go to such an ex- treme, but he did have to furnish the money for the building. New York capitalists whom he visited refused to advance any money for the building. SO he said: "Never mind. I'll build 1t myself. We have little money out ia Colorado. I and my friends. We can all chip in. and guess among us' we can make up fair sized pot. This road is one of the plums of Colorado. but it'll take little shaking to bring 1t down"
 It took more than fair sized pot. as the preliminary work for the surveys cost quarter of million dollars. The Burlington had tried to get over the mountains and had become frightened when a million dollars had been put into the work and brought no visible results. and MofYat bought the rights the Burlington had acquired. The first fifty miles of road out of Denver cost f60.O0O a mile, and the thirty five miles up the foothills to the Main Range tunnel cost sl0o.0Oo mile. all this for grading before a single tie was faid.
 In eleven miles there are twenty-nlne tunnels through solid granite. and the road has every conceivable sort of curve. from a horseshoe to a tennis racket. Bridges and fills cost a mil lion dollars. Steam Shovel cut. through rock. Is 2.2oo feet long and averages forty feet deep. The Main Range tun- nel. nearly three miles in length. is un- der James peak. at an elevation of o.600 feet. and cost s5JO.ooo. William Crook. whose firm had the contract for building one 0f the worst sections of the road. took down 12.0co cubic yards of granite with one blast. using 1000 kegs of black powder and fifteen boxes Of dynamite 10 do t.
 The worst part of the road. the way through the mountains. has been con auered. and what remains to be done is comparatively easy. Throughout the road is of standard gauee. 3.0o heavy Texas pine ties to the mile. instead of the usual 2.soo. and eighty pound rsilS and all equipment fitted for heavy through trafic-

HRAuS FOR LABOR FOLIO
Bonaparte For Attorney Ceneral- Meyer For Postmaster
 General
CHANGES IN THE CABINET

Washington, Oct 24.-The follow ing statement regarding prospective changes in President Roosevelt's cab inet was made public at the White house last night
 On the retirement of Secretary Shaw and Attorney. General Moody from the cabinet the following changes will be made:-
 Secretary of the treasury-Hon George B. Cortelyou.
 Postmaster genGal-Hon George von l.. Meyer.
 Attorney general-Hon Charles J. Bonaparte.
 Secretary of the navy-Hon Victor H. Metcalf.
 Secretary of commerce and labor Hon Oscar s. Straus.
 The general. understanding for some time has been that Attorney General Moody will retire the first of the coming January and that Secre- tary Shaw will follow him on the fourth of March. On the first of the year, therefore. Mir Bonaparte. now secretary of the navy, will succeed Mir Moody as attorney general and he will, in turn, be succeeded by Mir Metcalf, the secretary of commerce and labor, the latter's place being filled by Mir Straus. Mir Cortelyou now postmaster general, will take Secretary Shaw's place on March 4 at which time Mir Meyer is to be- come postmaster general
 The announcement of the prospec- tive changes in the cabinet was made late in the afternoon, following a pro- tracted cabinet meeting earlier in the day at which, It is understood, the whole matter was considered fully. The changes contemplate the intro duction of two nerr men in the cabi- net, Mir Meyer and Mir Straus.
 The fact that Mir Meyer was to have place in the cabinet has been known for some time, but the name of Mir Straus has been mentioned On- ly incidentally, if at all in connection with the circle of the presidents ad- visers. The transfer of Messrs Cor telyou to the treasury, Bonaparte to the attorney generalshlp, and Mctcalf to the navy, has been generally ac- cepted as among the probabilities for some time although It has been known that both Mir Bonaparte and Mir Metcalf were for a time loath to leave their present positions because they had become so fully identified with the work of their department.
 Mir Meyer. who will become post master-general. Is ambassador to Rus sin, to which place he was appointed on March 6. 1905. having been pro- noted to that office, following his service as the ambassador to Italy. from 1900 to 1905. He is a native of Massachusetts, and was well known as a business man.
 The appointment of MT Straus caused considerable surprise. as 1t will be the first case where a citizen of the Hebrew faith has been made a member of the presidents cabinet. He was born December 3. 1850. and is well known as merchant, diplomat and author. He represented the Uni ted States as minister to Turkey on two different occasions and was ap- pointed by President Roosevelt to fill the vacancy caused by the death of ex-President Harrison as member of the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague.

Locked Up They Secured a Key and Released Themselves But Were
 Again Put Behind the Bars
WANTED TO BE MARTYRS
Judge Refused to lmprison Them, But Bound Them Over to
 Keep the Peace.

London, Oct 24.-Ten women suf- frag!sts, who were arrested yester- day for rioting within the precincts of the house of commons, were ar raigned in police court to-day and were bound over to keep the peace for six months. Such commonplace outcome of the affair did not meet the views of the suffragists, who ap- paren.lS desired to assume the roles of martyrs by being committed to jail, and when the magistrate an- nounced his decision great uproar broke out in the court room and ul- timately the women had to be re- moved by force. Some cf them were literally thrown out among the crowds waiting outside the building.
 The shrieking women continued to make demonstration outside the police court until Miss Pankhurst, who took most prominent part In the disturbances in the ladies. gall lery of the house of commons in April, was again arrested.
 Some of the women who had been temporarily locked in an ante-room by the police had momentary re- venge. They managed to secure a key and released themselves, but were again locked in by their jailer, who walked of with the key.
 When the disturbances had some what subs!ded the police reassembled the defendants who were then in- formed by the magistrate that they must immediately find sureties for their good behavior or be imprisoned for two months. The whole ten women refused to enter into recog- nizances and were removed in cus- tody.

LOOK AT THE INDIAN.
Dr Eastman Says His Physique i
 Pcrfect-He Eats Very Little.

Cambridge. Mass. Oct 24.-That white people eat too much and are therefore physically inferior to the Indian. was claimed by Dr Charles A. Eastman of Amherst college, and at one time a prominent Dartmouth ath- lete. in a lecture on 'The Real 1n- dian" last night, before Harvard un- dergraduates at the Harvard union.
 "The Indian" said Dr Eastman, "worships a perfect physique. But the white men are incubator matched. The soil in which they are brought up is too artifcially fertilized with tenderloin and baked potato"
 He said that while most of the men on the Harvard eleven were large and we'll formed. they did not have the heart or lungs of the Indian. who could go without his breakfast and run several miles on an empty stom- ach.

It Was the Hastings.

New York, Oct 24.-The small freight steamer Hastings, bound from New York to New Haven, was burned to the waters edge and sunk in Long Island sound, off Stamford, Conn, this morning. Her crew of eleven men got away in lifeboat and were picked up and brought to New York on board the steamer Middle town, of the Hartford X New York Transportation Co.
 The Hastings is reported to have been loaded with steel About o'clock this morning, when off Stam- ford, the Hastings collided with an unknown schooner and owing to the tipping of the steamer lantern was upset on Board the Hastings, setting fire to the steamer. When it became evident that the steamer could not be saved, the crew took to their boats. The steamer Middletown, from Hart ford, passing down the sound on her way to New York, sighted the burn ing steamer and went to the rescue of the crew. Before the Middletown proceeded on her way her officers saw the Hastings sink.
 The Hastings was 133 feet long, of POS tons net, was built in Wilmington, Del, in 1885, and hailed from New York. -5
 The extent of the damage suffered by the unknown schooner in collision with the Hastings is not known to the crew of the steamer, as the schooner quickly disappeared in the darkness and the crew of the Hast ings were too busy with their own troubles to give any attention to the schooner.

Styles in Cut Glass.

Cut glass inanufac turers have intro
duced during the present year many
special services for certain courses Of
a dinner, and reports indicate consid-
cradle eagerness on the past of buy
ers in taking up these offerings. The
prediction is made that next year the
show rooms will contain even more
extensive lines of this sort, and that
entire dinner services of glassware are
not far away.
The larger and more elaborate
dishes for the table are ornamental
with scroll and geometrical figures in
bold designs. Louis XIV cuttings,
star style in design, have proved quite
stable this year. The pieces are gen.
orally light and have sharp scalloped
edges. Platters for meat, fish and
game are made obi eng in shape, with
handles at either end and broad
rim slanting upward. The bottom is
perfectly fiat, and the shape gives an
appearance of much depth
One of the popular bunch bowls
comes in the shape of grape leaf
with stem and standard and is orna.
mented with a vine pattern.
