ONE OF To-D iT,S DANGERS.

There will be a good deal of talk to- day, and there may be some who will have an experience to-day that will fix them go that they can't talk. Lockjaw is one of the dangers of the Glorious Fourth, It can be caused by bacillus or germ which exists in street dirt. This bacillus does not harm the human body while the germ is exposed to the air. But when, byta wound from piece of percussion cap or explosive, one of these bacteria Is carried beneath the skin and the air is excluded, 1t produces bad poison. Death from lockjaw is the usual result.
 Two good rules for to-day are. Have any July wound dressed by a doctor Keep such wounds open until they arc dressed by doctor This will be fount better and cheaper than to wait for tn, undertaken,

TIE CITY BEAUTIF uL.

The movement to make city beau- .tiful of New Haven is well under way. The Mayor appointed an excellent committe to take the subject under consideration at the request of the mass meeting held at the rooms of the New Haven Historical Society. That committee did well to elect Governor Woodruff permanent chairman and MT. Seymour permanent secretary. Governor Woodruff has appointed an excellent finance committee. The New Haven county legislative caucus Is about to take steps to secure an op- ton upon the Sargent corner, the ac- quisition of which is essential to the completion of the Seymour scheme of Identification.
 As the Journal and Courier has said before, it has only the warmest inter- est in this plan to make a city beau tiful of New Haven. It would like to suggest, however, to the committee Q slight expansion of its plans to which immediate attention can be given. There appears to be an uncertainty about the plans adopted for bridges over the new railroad cut between Olive and Water streets. The fear is that the old wooden side fences will be set up again on the ground that they will shut off the smoke from passing engines. What ground there is foi the fear or for that method of con. trolling the smoke nuisance we do no know, but it may we'll be doubted i that kind of protection is needed.
 The new bridges over the cut should be built of concrete and have concret, sides upon which may be placed cleo tric lamps. The committee on tn, city beautiful can see that this is don, with no more trouble than to make al appointment with President Mellen His assurance will settle the matter. I
 is worth while.

DEAD AG4IN.

It is mildly interesting to notice the deaths of Sir Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne, bart. He has just died again
 this time in an English workhouse at a place called Duffield, where he was known as William Campbell. Before his removal to the workhouse he con- f1ded to member of Parliament and another gentleman that he was the missing heir, Sir Roger but asked that the secret should not be divulged un- til after his death. His story was that he was formerly subaltern in a Scotch regiment, that afterwards he enlisted as private in another, was wrecked in the Bella that it was he who shot Castro and fired at the ser want, afterwards escaping into the bush, and that he was in England dur ing the Tichborne trial, in concealment, because of his crime. The dead man was of great stature, and is said to have possessed converse tional talents. In these respects he resembled the long

inforced by the willingness of the Board of Finance to find the necessary money, but they may find themselves responsible for demand for the pop ular election of commissioners, which is by no manner of means the best plan conceivable for organizing the schools. It was the political administra- ton of the schools before, which led to change in the charter and the selec- tion of school directors by the mayor, but that fact in the history of the dis trict will not apply if the citiezns get the idea into their heads that a de- partment of local government is no longer amenable to the popular will. Back of all these considerations, too, is the safety of the schools of New Ha- ven, which have recently received such 8 conspicuous compliment from Dean Wright of Yale College. Men and wo- men who have added 10 their prestige in such a manner deserve more than common consideration at the hands of
 the board and are high above the ne-
 cessity of being disciplined for being
 Americans in their conduct. It becomes l the duty of the school commissioners
 not to forget they are commissioners
 but to remember that they, too, are cit
 izens like the rest of us and equa
 shareholders in government, not pre-.

LET HER GO!

Here we are agaiul Let her go, Gal lagher, Smith, Capistrano, Polychews- Xxi, and all other good and patriotic United States folks! This is the day we celebrate! This is the day when we declare our independence of common sense and other superf1uous qualities! This Is the day when we make the most noise we can in order to call at tention to the fact that we are the people! This is the day when we en- danger our own lives and property and the lives and property of others in order to show that we appreciate the blessings of liberty! This is the day when we try to show how much we admire the Chinese by initiating their fireworks and their stinkpots!
 | Let independence be our boast, never mindful what 1t costs! We can pay l the bills, and if we seem somewhat | limited in our ways of expressing our joy in being free, that is only because we haven't been free long enough to get fully emancipated from some things. By and by perhaps we shall make less noise on the Fourth of July and yet celebrate as much. Until then. as noise seems ta be the only
 way of expressing patriotism, let 1t be as voluminous. as splitting and as nerve-racking as possible.

ONE INVADING.

One by one the roses fade. "Gineral training" has been succeeded and su- perseded by the camp and by 'maneuvers" which, while more studied, are not half as versatile and wondrous as the maneuvers of the old "milish.' The firemen still muster some, but they don't wash each other or lick each other in the good old way. There is, however, one of the roses which is as rosy as ever. This is the Annual Convention and Competitive Contest of the Drummers and Pliers of Con- necticut. This rose hloomed in New Haven yesterday, and 1t filled the air with pure delight for many.
 The Spirit of '76, and the spirit oi all the other years, was put into their music by the skillful wielders of the drumsticks and the sure captors of the fife notes. Nor were the swelling pride and the good old flourishes whicl 30 with the arts of drumming and flflnt omitted Every corps combined grace with skill. and some of them combined grace in such way as to greatly cheer those who especially went ou for to see such combination.

 Magazine, "A Study in Land-Grab-

Putnam finds that the water power of the State, amounting to 6OOO,00O units, is not used to more than one-twentieth of its extent It's forests, covering over 9,000000 acres, are in the hands of a few corporations and individuals, and pay practically no tax es to the State Its railroads, manu- featuring industries and wlld-land own CTS. he asserts, unite to control the State government, pay low taxes and send most of their surplus earnings out of the State.

There has recently been invented a machine for boring into the rock and making tunnels in an extraordinarily rapid way. In addition to the rapid opening of ground for the more econ omical development of metalliferous veins, it will remove the necessity for the present expensive work necessary in many instances to provide outlets for the water. This machine, it is claimed, will cut hole eight feet in diameter and make five feet per hour. It is claimed that 1t will cut from twenty-five to eighty lineal feet per day of twenty-four hours

DELEGATES FROM
THE AMERICAS
MAY FORCE PEACE

Washington, May N.-If all the repub-
lies of the Western Hemisphere take ad-
vantage OF the opportunity TO participate
I'm the proceedings OF the second confer
ence at The Hague that has opened up
to them by the efforts OF the American
secretary OF state. there will be no less
than u OF the governments OF the three
Americas represented including delega-
tions from Cuba, Hayti and santo Do
mingo.
Only 27 Powers signed the treaty OF
July 20, 1899. providing "for the specific
settlement OF international disputes" and
unless there is an enlarged representation
at the second conference from the East
ern Hemisphere. 1t might be possible for
the three Americas to dominate the pro-
ceedings, II there were the slightest sign
OF division in the Eastern ranks.
American forethought is responsible for
this largo representation from the West,
for II was owing entirely 10 the efforts
OF the Washington state department that
Russia was induced TO include the Central
and South American republics In the in
vitation OF the conference.
II Is believed confidently that on the
proposition looking to a wider extension
OF the process OF settling disputes by
arbitration the American delegates will
present an unbroken front.
Almost all OF the American delegates
are deeply interested I'm the success OF
the efforts TO have the conference indorse
the famous Drago doctrine. which In
hbits the use OF force by a nation TO
collect debts owing 10 citizens by an
other government. But there is n wide
difference among them as 10 the extent
20 which the doctrine should be applied.
All Secretary Root hoped to accomplish
was 20 Get some general understanding
as 10 the extent 90 which force might be
used I'm the collection OF debt and the
conditions under which 10 might he ap-
piled. lie did not believe that there
would be total abandonment OF the
right 10 uso force at oil. Unworthy and
dishonest debtor nations could not expect
immunity from the collectors process.
but the effort should be made TO shield
the helpless and ignorant debtors from
undue and usurious extortion.
Limitation OF armaments concern the
South and Central Americans deeply be-
cause OF the restraint upon their natural
development that would be imposed by
the necessity Of maintaining large armal
ments. 20 IL is understood that they will
generally. but not as a unit support the
effort 20 be made by the United states
delegates 70 at least have this subject
discussed
