kind and honest man when his young am

utterly unanswerable by the poise Of any
human soul.
Our lives are like a voyage on tumul-

Of the wave again in the trough Of the
sea. when eager winds are kissing ev-
cry sail, our boat dashes against an un-
seen rock, and roars over a sunken ship. "

GOVERNOR WARNER AND his state associ.
ates on the republican ticket have had
conferred on them the high honor of re-
ceying the largast percentage of the
entire vote of the state ever given the
candidates Of any party in Michigan.
This favor was given to them in part
through recognition and appreciation of
unusually valuable service, and as re-
suit of Governor Warmers unprecedented
personal campaign. The people Of Mich
igan recognized that the young man COM
paratyely unknow to many Of them in
1904 was worthyof degree Of conf
dence and favor which could have been
made known only through the tests of
actual experience. And they we're glad
to give the cordial approval and favor
through their votes which some of them
had withheld two years ago.

AN EARNEST WARNING.

FROM ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, who is well
known as true friend Of the great mass
of what is referred to in the term, cur
country's common people, comes an
earnest warning against the encroach-
ments of socialism and the doctrine OF
general discomfort In the course of an
address before the society of the Tenne-
ssee, the venerable archbishop pleadec
for the recognition of dangers which to
his mind appeared hardly less menacir g
10 our government by the people than the
dangers against which the army of tht
Tennessee commended almost half GEN.
fury ago. 1t was significant too, as re-
suit of Archbishop Ireland's travel and
observation, that ne included the govern
ment ownership Of railroads as possible
policy against which the whole American
people should be warned

A Linen shower.

MISS Ruby Babcock entertained merry
company Of rs young ladies in honor Of
Miss Mary E. Moore at the residence oil
Mr.. and Mrs. James H. Keeney last Sat
urday afternoon.
The rooms we're tastefully decorated
with evergreens and an arch with we'd
ding bell was arranged in the parlor I'M
der which the bride to be was seated at
the proper time. The gathering was a
surprise to Miss Moore. she supposing that
herself was the only guest but bevy Of
young ladies was there before her and
they made the event lively one.
At an opportune time during the festivi-
ties Miss Moore was conducted to the seat
OF honor by Mary Lamberton in the arch
way and showered with linen, on each
piece of which was printed bit OF poetry

called inflammatory rheumatism. Many
and varied were the remedies resorted 10
for relief but all in vain. He grew grad
ually worse until he was utterly unable to
raise out Of his chair or otherwise assist
himself. In this condition he remained a
most painful but patient sufferer for more
than II years. Always possessed of his
full mental faculties and by nature ex-
ceedingly ambitious. his helpless condition
rendered such endurance one OF the most
trying ordeals OF human life.
The patient care and treatment Of his
wife and children during all these years,
under especially trying endurance, par
took Of the attributes Of a better world.
1t is doubtful IL Charles Wesley Miller
ever had an enemy. Innocence may sui-
fer and crime go unpublished, just why
such misfortune should be put upon a

DEMAND A REDUCTION.

PROCEEDINGS IN BEHALF of the state
have been commenced against the Grand
Trunk railroad to compel that road to re-
duce its fare from three cents mile to
two and one-half cents. 1t is understood
that the constitutonality Of the states re-
quirement will be tested and that the con-
troyersy on the part Of the railroad may
be carried to the supreme court Of the
United States. But whatever may be
true as to the contention of the railroad
and the action of courts, the people of the
state will observe with satisfaction that
aggressive action for the observance Of the
state law has been demanded and will be
insisted upon by the railroad commissioner
and attorney general

NATIONAL CALAMITY AvERTEp

NATIONAL CALAMITY AVERTED.
WHILE it is easily possibly to over esti-
mate the undesirable effects of such a re
suit it is yet quite certain that the election
of w. r. Hearst as governor of New York
would have been, if not a national
calamity at least national misfortune
Mr.. Hearst could have accomplished moth.
ing in desirable directions for his state
which will not be urged and if possible
accomplished by Mr. Hughes, the COVER
nor elect; and the influence of Hearst's
election could have had no value in
national directions which is more than
equaled through the larger responsibility
and greater power which the election OF
Hughes gives to President Roosevelt
But the election of Hearst would have
brought with it the possibility Of his cleo
ton as president in two years, and tie
shadow Of entrance upon an era of rad-
calism equal to the big-type screams Of
his yellow newspapers would have at orce
loomed large and threatening before the
entire county. With all possible credit
given to the lesson conveyed through the
large vote he received and to its source
and cause, it is yet true that not the least
among the things which the American
people have reason 10 be thankful for al
this season is that w. r. Hearst was not
elected governor Of New York.

THE CAT CAME BACK
DooTmin Lynch Who Killed Many
 Dogs Tackled Ono Yesterday.

Terrence Lynch. doorman at the police station, who has killed about a hundred dogs since the advent oi the rabies scare, and has the reputa- ton of possessing the strength of an OK and the courage of a lion, met a foeman worthy of his steel this morn. ing in an old cat that has sterrorized Center street for the past six months MT Lynch went up against the feline before and came off second best, the officer quitting the field after he had emptied the contents of his revolver into her body without bringing her down. Yesterday pussy was chew ing on bone in the lot between Har- rison avenue and Center street when large white bulldog came along and took fancy to the toothsome morsel the cat was feeding on. and thinking he had nothing to do but growl and the feline would drop it and disappear, the dog snarled once or twice and then made rush to- wards his prey. Instead of scamper- Ing away, as the dog evidently thought pussy would do, she met the brute half way and then commenced the fercest battle of the kind ever seen in Waterbury. When the scrap started the dog was white, but after few minutes he had turned red, and the cat, which went into the fray with gray coat, got it dyed red. too so that the only way spectators could tell one from the other was in the method of combat, both being the same color and almost of size. After a tussel that lasted nearly ten minutes the belligerents took rest
 and then instead of returning to the attack the dog marched off, while the cat stood her ground and had her back up just as high when her assail- ant trotted away as 1t was when he first put in an appearance. How bad ly the bulldog was injured nobody knows, but it appears that the cat came out of the run with half her head chewed of. and somebody sent word to the police station that she was in aa Ditiable condition under the veranda of the Taylor block on Cen: ter street. Officer Lynch went over there and as soon as the cat saw him she showed fight and the officer, con- sidering discretion the better part of valor. got out of the way and then returned to the station for his re- volver. When he entered the place the second time the cat scented dan ger and crowded under the veranda and then sDat fire at the man with the brass buttons. In order to get a shot at her it was necessary to rip m 2 rtion of the veranda and then she was dispatched with great diNi- culty. Even at that she died game. her teeth being sunk into post. while with her four paws she tugged viciously at the timber.

HER CLAIM IS $4,OOO.
Mrs Elizabeth Leonard. Housekeeper
 for Years Without Recompense.

The case of Mrs Elizabeth Leonard against the estate of Joseph E. Law renee, who lived for years on East Main street, has gone over to next Tuesday morning in the superior court. Mrs Leonard claims she was housekeeper for Lawrence for six teen or eighteen years, though her claim. which is for $4,000, covers a period of only six years. She intends to show that MT Lawrence had ire Quently told her he would take care of her in his will If she did not care to accept regular payment from him. Once or twice, 1t is said, she did ask him for payment. but he told her to let it go and it would be all right by and by in his will She was not remembered in his will and hence her claim. The heirs are contesting the claim, and Mrs Leonard will try to show that during the last years of his life Mir Lawrence was not visited by any of his relatives.
