Mitchell tends to relieve the public's fears of another coal famine Spring field Republican.
 \ Thirty-two years ago there was a wedding of presidents daughter in the White House that was not attend ed by well dressed mob and was not regarded by anyone as an '.internation- ar' affair. The gifts were only from intimate personal friends of the family, and the whole proceeding was in much better taste than Saturdays perform ance.-Bridgeport Farmer.
 The limelight is again thrown on the Mulvihill administration in Bridgeport by the fact that Alderman J. A. Me Murray, a hold-oyer from that admin istration, was yesterday arrested on the charge of keeping a saloon that conducts Sunday business. The sa- loon was raided, a barkeeper was found behind the bar and four men were arrested as frequenters of the place. Sixteen or eighteen other men who were in the place at the time of the raid made their escape This is the second time within a few weeks that a saloon owned by this same all derman has been successfully raided on Sunday. What a pretty business for d public official. What a credit to the city. What an example for the young people! What reflection upon the voters who cast their ballots for this man and made his election possi- ble.-Ansonia Sentinel.

To the boom in picture post cards the postmaster-g general of Great Brit ain ascribes a decrease of one one-half per cent in the number of letters de- livered last year in London, says a writer in the American Illustrated Magazine. There were delivered in the United Kingdom 734,5O0,OOO pos tals, an increase of nearly % per cent, and of these 80 per cent were privately printed. The per capita allowance of postal cards in the kingdom would be seventeen to each person. In many localities in the United States the post office facilities have been swamped by the excess of souvenir postals, while on the boardwalk at Atlantic City riots have been narrowly averted be- cause the authorities had neglected to supply enough 1-cent stamps to meet the demand of the victims of carditis postale. Other insidious forms of the collecting mania, however, are coinci- dent with that which is propagated by pasteboard. Thousands of we'll mean ing persons are gathering cigar bands and pasting them in ornate designs on nearly everything but door mats. Wo- men of culture and refinement are sew ing the painfully yellow ribbons which come around bundles of cigars into sofa pillows. and the approximations of husbands and fathers are of no avail. The latest mania is for ink-kissed kisses. Small albums are now pro vided. on the pages of which may be imprinted the impress of the carmine- soaked lips of the person who sub scribes his regards in the book. Some of these kisses are bunchy, others well defined and many small and becky.

KOREA UNDER THE YOKE"
Assumption of the Reins of aovern- ment by the Victorious
 Japanese.

Nations are like variable stars. While some are waxing into brill;ancy or flashing into sudden prominence, others are waning and burning out, says Youths Companion. Norway becomes a separate entity, with it's own king and its separate government; Finland re- gains it's lost liberties; and at the same time the gorgeous and profligate empire of Korea passes under the yoke, " as the Romans used to say. The establishment of a Japanese protectorate over Korea was not unexpected. For two years the fact has existed. although the fiction of independence, like beautiful veil, was thrown over it by the polite Jap anese. Those who are most familiar with conditions in the peninsula are of the opinion that the open announcement was Japan's only course. All attempts of the mikado's government and of his agents to establish necessary reforms have been met by verbal acquiescenee but actual opposition. The last resort was the removal of what has been called the most corrupt bureaucracy in the world. and the open assumption of the reins of government by the Japanese.

NEW GUN FUR ARMY
SPRINGFIELD" IS MOST POW
 ERFUL RIFLE KNOWN.
Equipped with This Kind of Weapon, United States soldiery Is Making
 Strong Bid for Leadership of -sa-4 Worlds Defenders.

The New Springfield" the most powerful military rifle known, is to be the equipment with which the United States army will make strong bid for leadership among the ranks of the worlds soldiers. Its principle is based on the latest and most up to date ideas in small arms construction. In view of this, it may be interesting to compare the New Springfield" with the rifles now in use by other nations. The new gun embodies the main fea- lures of the Mauser model of 1893, having the best magazine system ever introduced. This model is used, with slight notifications, by 13 govern ments, but has been greatly improved by United States ordnance experts.
 There is to a certain extent sim ilarity in the arms represented. They Are all bolt action guns. which proves 1t is declared, that the old-fashioned lever action arms are not adapted for military service. With the exception of the Grasf fife of Greece Git being a single loader and 30 years in the serv- iceD, the magazine systems are of three classes-namely, the Mauser, it's
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-02-22

ttnXSazfne mechanism, the magazine be- ing wholly within the stock.
 In the Mauser system the box is closed at the bottom, thus excluding all possible sand or grit that might get in to clog the mechanism. The cartridge is stored away in the maga, zine in zig-zag fashion. with the box slightly wider than the cartridge it. self. This obviates the necessity of the unsightly Lee method as seen in the Mannlichter rife models and the guns used in England and Russia. The Lee system, the second of the three mentioned, was brought out in 1879, and has been used in England since 1890. It was also adopted in the United States several years ago in the Remington gun; also the lately dis carded Lee straight pull, caliber .23, of the navy. In the Lee system the cartridges are placed either by clip or singly in the magazine. one direct ly above the other. This, however. ne- cessitates the projecting box beneath 
 the stock.
 In the new Springfield is found the Mauser magazine equipped with "cut-off," enabling the soldier to use his gun as a single loader. holding the full magazine in reserve. The "stumpy" appearance of this gun is caused by the reduced length of the barrel-being only 24 inches long. The complete hand guard protection Is a necessary feature for the safety of the soldier in these days of high powered smokeless powders and muz- gle velocities of 2.000 feet second.
 This is the second model of the 24 inch barrel rife made in Springfield. The first. 1903. was equipped with a ramrod bayonet. It was the testimony of experts in favor of the great serv- ice of the bayonet in the recent Jap anese war that caused the knife bayo- net to be revived in America.
 To make up for the six-inch shorten ing of the barrel the new bayonet is IS inches long, making the total length of the gun the same as the present regulation Krag-Jorgensen. The arm will be issued to all land and naval forces and the carbines discard ed. The muzzle velocity of the gun is 1900 feet second. or 900 feet faster than the present Krsg The power pressure is 4s.000 pounds square inch and the bullet will penetrate s.30 inches of white pine at 1900 yards distance. The recoil Is greater than in the ordinary gun. but is not to be compared with the kick of the old .ls-ealiber. famous some years ago for it's formidable backward move ment when exploded.

5s Some men," said John D. Rockefel- Ter, Jr., in an address in New York, use the law to do harm with, instead of to do good. They resemble a member of one of our well-known clubs.
 This man sat in the club dining room, at luncheon when bill collector. hayingl lsomehow eluded the attendants in the hall, walked up to him and laid on the table his overdue account.
 ''The clubman glared at the account, his fork suspended in the air. Then, solemnly and indignantly, he handed the paper back to the collector.
 How dare you,' he said, infringe upon the rules of my club in this man. her? Don't you know a mans club is like his home? Don't you know I can have you forcibly elected for coming in here with put card of membership or an in- troduction? The rules of this club re- quire that, if you have business with a member, you wait in the hall while an attendant brings in your name. Now, demand that you go out into the hall immediately, taking this bill with you, and that you send in your card to me in the proper way"
 "The collector, red in the face but hopeful on the whole, complied. He re- tired to the hall and sent in his card with all formality.
 The clubamn, eating steadily, re- ceived the card on silver tray. He studied it gravely. Then he saidto the waiter: 5" " hUa .an7Rl I" sNot fn'S

Tall Queens and Small Kings.

This is the age of tall queens and small kings. It is a curious fact that in the case of nearly every royal married couple in Europe the wife is taller than the husband. The czar. who is considerably below the aver age height of men. is fully a head shorter than his beautiful and majes- tic ezarina- The kaiser, who is a well-grovn man is. nevertheless. over topped by the German empress. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy scarcely reaches up to the shoulders of Queen Helena. who is an unusually tall vom- an. while se is a diminutive man. King Charles of Portugal is also over topped by his queen. although he makes up in ro;Endity of body what he lacks in height.
