Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-05

The feminine disregard for man. made laws intended for their regula- tion has never been more strikingly emphasized than at the little town of Mellette, South Dakota, where the common council. responding to the complaint of husbands that their wives were devoting too much time to bridge whist, passed stringent ordinance against the game. This ordinance, which the councilmen seemed to imagine could be enforced imposed a fine of from s25 to $100 and several days imprisonment upon any woman found guilty of playing bridge whist. The women ot Nell cite held an indignation meeting which fully justified its name. pass ed resolutions denouncing their would-be possessors and made such a demonstration that the town mar shal, a timid bachelor, resigned his office. Now bridge whist parties are more popular than ever and the ob- noxious ordinance is admittedly a dead letter.

He Was Not a spend,hrIft.

An elderly man, known as man of means and a mean man, startled his acquaintances recently by the pur- chase of an automobile. Starting on his first outing in it, he ordered the chauffeur:
 "To the Claremont."
 Through the park and up Riverside drive they went. Reaching the Clare mont old Tight wad" gazed a mo- ment at the inn. then remarked:
 "All right. Now drive home-and say, young man. if you run into any thing on the way. see that it's some thing cheap. Understand?"-N. '. Globe.

ness. Great hopes are entertained of It's value for traction purposes. but it is recognized that its employment is an experiment, and the chances of the expeditions success are far from be- ing centered in any such novel means of locomotion.
 The use of Siberian ponies in the antarctic is also in the nature of an experiment, but the hardness and strength they have developed on the bitterly cold plains of eastern Siberia, where they are accustomed to live in the open all through the winter, justi. fy the hope that the experiment will be success.
 The Nimrod will leave the Thames for New Zealand. Lieut.. Shackleton will accompany 1t as far as Madeira and rejoin the ship at Lyttleton in November. The united expedition will start about the first week of the new year, reaching its base. 1t is hoped. about February, when the party of l2 will be landed. They will make sledge expeditions in three directions, and after years work will await the re. turn of the Nimrod, reembark and sail homeward along the coast.

MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1907.

What is the use of congress meet ing in December when President Roosevelt and Bert Hopkins. the jun for senator from Illinois, can do all the business? They have just agreed that congress shall not undertake tariff revision and if they can settle that question in advance without consulting with the 2S2 other repub- lican members of congress there Is no good reason why they can't set tie the less important questions of appropriations, says Washington writer. Have the republican mem bers of congress ablicated in favor of the president and Bert Hopkins or have they delegated the settlement of the tariff issue? It would seem so, Who will now dare say the republi- can representatives of the people ar not led up to the executive water ing trough and forced to drink, by the promise of also having their share of the public patronage.

The time approaches when some alert novelist belonging to. what may be called the Fauna School of Fiction will make a hero of an oyster. AtIor- ney General Jackson, in a letter to the state tax department, says that the courts have held that oysters are wild animals and only become personal property when they are re- claimed or artificially planted. Such domesticated, tame, or garden oysters he adds would be assess able as personal property" The pos abilities here suggested for a splen- did romance. tracing the tragic car ger of a well-born oyster from its free, wild youth, through its period of captivity, and ending with the hero's sensational destruction by fire. either in a milk stew or broiled on toast, will appeal. surely, to some na- ture novelist who finds that his com petitors are rapidly exhausting the list of wild animals still available for fiction. Hitherto the oyster and the clam have failed to receive the re- cognition due to them from the au- thors of our nature books.

NEW BRITISH EXPEDITION PRE-.

Ship Nimrod to Carry Lieut.. shackle- ton and Party to Unknown ,..-.., Regions of Antartic
 Circle.

Perhaps with a fear that the old earth would become over balanced by the numerous expeditions to the arctic regions party of British scien- lists are preparing to go to the antarc- tic circle. There they will endeavor to discover the south pole, just as Wellman, Peary and others are striv- ingt to reach the north pole, and strange would it not be if both the northern and the southern axis of the earth should be discovered about the same time?
 The expedition to the antartic will be under the command of Lieut.. E. H. Shackleton, who accompanied Capt. R. F. Scott on his record antarctic sledge journey during the historic ex- petition of 1s01-04. The expedition will be financed by several subscrib- CTS who are interested in antarctic

sign, says Banker Clews. It means that the process of wholesome read justment which began seven months ago in the stock market is now be- ginning in commodities; the latter being on such high pinnacle as to cause general feeling of instability A moderate decline in this quarter to lower level, while it might lessen profits, would only bring them to a more normal and safer level; be- sides which many enterprises on this orders now held in suspencse on this account will be forthcoming when commodities have also come down to safer and more normal basis. Of course this process of readjustment is unpleasant, and to some 1t will be very inconvenient; but it must come, nevertheless, and the quicker the sit uation is fully recognized the more easy will be the transition. There is ho SoAhoosAh5 ShC idSS Shas aAtS business continues in high state of activity, there is still considerable degree of distrust induced by present abnormal conditions; and it is really healthy symptom that the reaction has begun. especially as it is making its appearance gradually and with, out violent or unexpected develop ments. In nearly all lines of business there Is more or less expectation that temporary reaction is at hand; the only important exception being in the cotton goods trade. where de- mand is still ahead of supply and in dications are for another excellent season. Of course, New York is less optimistic than the west. This is al- ways true, because New York is the first to feel downward movements, and being the financial center of the country, is naturally the first to ap- prehend points of weakness and strength.

exploration, and it is hoped that other subscribers will be found among the public, SO that the expedition may not be hampered in any way on its anan- cial side. As regards personnel. the expedition IS very well equipped. Lieut. Shackleton's personal knovl- edge of the winter conditions of the part of the antarctic selected as the base of operations is an invaluable asset. and with him goes very efa- cient stan.
 It has been decided to make the base of operations on King Edwards Land. the most easterly point reached b. the expedition of 1so1-0i- This point Is equally well placed as regards the pole and has the advantage of be- ing new ground Into this area Lieut. Shackleton win penetrate by three distinct sledge expeditions. In which he will be aided by the use of a motor car specially built for the work by Arrol-Johnstoa. of Paisley.

 San Antonio is taking pains to make even her factories attractive. The new macaroni factory looks like a public library or college building.

 Several facts are not changed by the Haywood verdict One is that there are a number of newly made graves in Idaho and Colorado whose occu- pants were killed by violence. Another is that all of these dead men were non union men or real or fancied oppon- ents of the Western Federation of Miners. A third is that these sudden deaths remain unaccounted for. The only change made by rne Haywood verdict is that these deaths are not likely to be accounted for.-Hartford Courant.
