Alone and Unattended.
From the New York Sun.
Is the rule excluding women without
male escorts from certain expensive res
taursnts after dark to be abolished for
mslly? An indication Of change that
has occurred in the last few years is
found in the following announcement
conspicuously displayed in the hail of a
fashionable Fifth avenue hotel:
Ladies served in the south cafe after
7:30 p. M"
t This announcement does not mean that
women without male escorts are admitted
into the cafe. The change is less radical
than that.
Until recently, under no circumstances
were women permitted in the south cafe
at all. After dark tt was mans partIcu-
/ lar province, distinguished from the main
! restaurant by less tormalily, chatting dish
/ suppers. and thicker tobacco smoke.
Not long ago the man who took his
wife or sweetheart 10 the hotel to dine
was debaTred from this cafe. He had to
pass on to the regular dining rooms. An
Eveless Eden was the south cafe, the
entrance guarded by llveried attendants.

Now all that has been changed and

I remarked a fair patron OF the hotel, Il
I don't care 10 dine there so often as in
I the main restaurant"
Yes. that's the woman Of it." her hus-
7 band rejoined
As might be expected, IN line with this
felaxed policy is the attitude of the man
sgement toward women unattended who
present themselves at the late dinner hour
and after the theaters are out, expecting
TO be served in the restaurants. At one
time it took a courageous woman 10 seek
TO eat there after dark unless. indeed, she
was stopping Ut the hotel. All over the

Albert Belt is a name almost unknown
in America, and in England not one per-
son in a hundred would recognize 1t, but
Mr.. Belt, who died Monday in London at
the age of SO, was one OF the most re-
markable millionaires in the world. He
has been styled a billionaire, but this is
an exaggeration. He was probably the
richest man in England and he may have
been as wealthy as Mr.. Rockefeller. He
was sent from his fathers shipping office
in Hamburg at the age of % to South
Africa to investigate trade conditions
soon after the discovery of the diamond
fields. He found everything in chaos in
Kimberley, and by the use OF the business
methods in which he had been trained he
soon made himself indispensable to the
diamond industry. He was a sort Of
diamond king before the late Cecil
Rhodes appeared in South Africa, and at
one time a diamond war" was waged
between the two men, but eventually their
interests and those Of the late Barney
Barnato were consolidated in the DeBeers
company, which has mines extending over
100 acres, has a capital of $40 900, 900 and
pays dividends of s6,000,000 annually.
Mr.. Belt became interested in the early
development of the gold mines in South
Africa and at the time Of his death was
the largest gold mine owner in the world
and was associated with many immense
corporations. Although quiet and unas-
suming in appearance he was a man OF
great power, and more than any other
man except Cecil Rhodes was respon-
sible for the Boer war. He established a
luxurious home in London, had one of the
finest collections of pictures in Europe
and dispensed his riches freely. especially
to people who had been unfortunate IN
South Africa, but he lived the life Of q
quiet bachelor and was seldom in the
public eye.

Sacrifices Principles.
MORTIFIED News.l

A few weeks since the News took oc-
casion to commend Candidate Clement
for what seemed to be his courage in
answering a number Of enquiries pro-
pounded by the labor federation as to
his position on certain public questions.
His views, as then expressed, did not
agree, except in one instance, with the
ideas advocated by the union, and while
not necessarily commencing his posi-
ton, it did seem to the News that 1t
was worthy of mention. His evident
sincerity and apparent courage Of his
convictions made 1t appear that he had
"a mind of his own" and would rather
be right as he saw the right no matter
what the political consequences might
be to him.
Therefore the News was greatly dis
appointed in the man, as il seems 10 us
every thoughtful voter must be, when
it noted his apparent willingness and
even anxiety to sacrifice his recently
pronounced convictions in a straddle
platform for The purpose Of bringing
the Democratic party to his support on
a fusion ticket. To accomplish this
end Candidate Clement has sacrificed
his recently promulgated principles and
laid himself we'll open to the charge OF
political insincerity; to sacrificing pro-
nounced principles in the attempt to gair
political preferment
For this reason alone, II for no othel
cause, the Rutland gentleman who nov
heads the fusion ticket deserves defeat
at the hands of every loyal Republican
and DmocraJ alike, who is qualified t
cast a ballot at the coming Septembe
election.

Nevada, which has been an anomoly
in American statehood with 42,335 inhab-
itants, is looking up. A writer in the
Review OF Reviews contends that its pop
ulation has doubled since 1908, and that
it now has more inhabitants than in the
days when the Comstock lode was giving
forth its riches. The Truckee- Carson ir-
rigation canal, built by the government
will turn $4,000 acres of desert lands
into wonderfully fertile farms, and the
new railroad from Salt Lake City to Los
Angeles opens up region which before
was uninhabited. A logical result of
new means OF transportation and of ir-
rigation is bound to be the discovery of
new mines of vast wealth in regions
hitherto absolutely inaccessible 10 man
or beyond his power of exploitation.
Already Nevada is proving that IN these
desert places there are immense mineral
deposits. Only four years old is Tonopah,
hourishing mining camp off to the
southeast Of Virginia City, which is said
to have one mine worth 100000 900. Two
years younger, the child Of Tonopah, is
Goldheld, now a place Of 10000.

No Republican voter ought to allow
himself to be fooled as to the present
political standing Of Percival W. Clement.
Mr.. Clement himself lays Cor has laid
great stress on his alleged Republicanism.
What are the facts2 -Four years ago he
tried to get the Republican nomination
for governor. lie made an active per-
sonal canvass in an open field before
the convention was held and then, when
the convention wouldn't have him, he
angrily bolted the convention, held a fir
tation with the Democrats at the time of
their convention, and then, processing to
believe that he could win without Demo-
cratic help, he organized his independent"
license-local-option campaign and put him
self at the head of third ticket 1t
proved that the people wanted a license
local-option law for the control of the
liquor traffic but that they didn't want
Mr. Clement for governor. This year he
began, early in the winter. an active
canvass in all parts of the state TO
secure the nomination of the Republican
convention. 1t soon became evident that
the people were making no response
to his appeal and then he got
himself announced as the fusion candl
date Of the Democratic party. When the
day Of the convention came he went over
into the Democratic party as its candi-
date for governor and had his personal
Independent" convention confirm his
nomination.
Mr.. Clements present political stand
ing therefore, so far as he has any, is
that Of a Democrat. He has no other
standing, and is entitled to no other, be-
cause of his own free will. for reasons Of
his own making. he has left the Repub-
lican party and gone over to the Demo-
Gratis and is running for governor on a
Democratic platform. Mr.. Clement has
a perfect right to do this, and the Demo-
Gratis have a perfect right to take him
as their candidate, but he has no claim
to Republican support on political grounds.
Indeed, the only service which Mr..
Clement is known to have performed for
the Republican party in the last four
years is that OF making a subscription
to the partys campaign fund in 1904-
and this subscription he never paid.

Chicago is going to greater lengths in
the official inspection of food served to
the public in restaurants than has been
attempted by any other American city
Under an ordinance recently passed the
5000 restaurants of Chicago are required
to take out licenses, which are revokable
for cause shown, The inspection au-
thorized covers the quality Of the food
furnished the manner OF its preser-
vation, the attire and habits OF employees.
the ventilation of kitchens, and such other
details of management as it may be nee
essary to investigate to secure the proper
sanitary conditions. The inspection is TO
be searching. and the revocation Of IL
censes, it is believed. will be a sufficient
penalty for the violation Of the regula-
tions. The cost OF inspection win be met
by the restaurant license fees, which will
yield $50. 900 10 the city

The Tennessee Republicans have nomi-
mated Henry Clay Evans for governor and
there is promise Of lively cam
paign. In Tennessee the Republicans
have n fighting chance for they can roll
up vote in excess of 1000 whenever
they have a strong candidate. At the
last state election Frazier (Dem.) for
governor received 131,5O3. and Littleton
Rep) 1OS, ,43s. One trouble in the state
has always been the lack Of harmony in
the Republican ranks. There are two
factions, one led by Congressman Brown
low and the other by Mr.. Evans. Evans
was elected governor by 74s votes on
the face of the returns in 1894, but the
Democratic legislature recounted the
votes. threw him out and seated Turney
as governor.

THE RIVER DAM PROJECT.
Engineers Are Now Boring to Determine
Availability of sItes-Large Capitalists
Interested.

An unimposing piece of machinery ar
rived in Brattleboro last week and was
taken to point near the north end of
the island and there set up. What the
significance of the machinery was no
one appeared to know. When it was put
in operation 1t was seen that it was a
boring machine. Some said the govern
ment was doing some geological work.
Others ventured to suggest that the water
board was prospecting with a view to
sinking an artesian well. Finally some
one guessed that it might have something
to do with the proposed Connecticut river
dam, and inquiry brought out the fact
that the latter conclusion was correct.
There is not much that can be said about
the scheme at present, in the way of de-
tail, as those who are most closely iden-
tilted with the project do not wish to an
nounce anything that might prove d
stumbling block. 1t may be stated, how
ever that New York and Boston capital
lists have been attracted by the possi-
bilities which the river presents and that
negotiations with them on the part of
the Brattleboro men who launched the
scheme have reached that point which
makes 1t necessary, before going farther,
to determine the condition Of the river
bed at points which are available for a
site for the dam in order that the approx
innate cost of building the dam may be
determined. 1t is for that purpose that
the machinery spoken of has been brought
to Brattleboro. Borings will be made on
several possible sites, and this work win
require a month or more. Civil engi-
neers are at work surveying the island
| and the river banks, Marshall Noyes Of
| Brattleboro assisting in this work. Some
| time will be consumed in making maps,
plans and estimates, and if the con-
ditions are favorable it is expected that
| the dam will be built, as the men finan-
| cially interested are entirely responsible.
Probably the construction OF a dam
would cost in the neighborhood Of
half a million dollars. AS is well known,
the dam project has been looked upon
with more or less incredulity and has
been made the basis OF minstrel jokes,
etc., but the Brattleboro promoters have
not been asleep and the negotiations have
been going. on quietly all the time A
big undertaking like this cannot be car
ried to completion in a few months, but
it is not too much to say that the out
look thus far is favorable.

You would suppose that a man might
work in his own shop and run one of his
own machines. II he SO elected, but
action of this kind caused a strike in a
granite shed in Barre the other day and
the cutters quit work. one of the firm
which owns the shed used a surface cut
ter on a small job in which he was par
tcularly interested. The contention OF
the cutters was that the man was a man.
ufacturer that he had never been a jour
neyman and therefore was ineligible to
operate a machine.
