wood trial, We're the partial wedding Of
the talesmen of the second special
venire entitled to statutory exemption
and the partial qualification of one
Juror. The examination of the venire
has not proceeded very far. but it
shows that the recreation Of interest

OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Two New Banks That Had Run Last Week Conference With
 J. P. Morgan.

New York, Nov. 4.-The Trust company of America and the Lincoln Trust company opened for business as usual at 10 o'clock to-day. This fol- lowed conferences Saturday and yes terday at the homeof J. P. Morgan concerning the general financial con- dition and the desirablity of relieving the heavy strain caused by runs on these two trust companies during the past ten days. When the Trust com pany of America opened this morning 35 people were in line, considerable diminution from the number on hand during the earlier days of the run. The opening of both institutions brought distinct feeling of relief,as it was taken as indicating that the conferences held last night had ex- erted beneficial effects. During the conferences the boards of directors Of the two trust companies were in ses- sion, while d number of financiers were assembled at MT Morgans house, both bodies being in touch with each other. A committee of experts ap- jointed on Saturday had gone over the affairs of the Trust company of America and had pronounced it sol vent. This, with the re-opening at the usual hour this morning produced a general feeling of relief.

A Mistake,

Not one of us, even the most good natured, likes to have his mistakes pointed out. We may appear not to mind corrections and accept them with a smile, but it is human nature to smart under correction, although some of us may be clever enough to conceal the smart; hence the fewer mistakes we call attention to in others the bet ter Two-thirds of the mistakes we make are trivial. Their correction is unimportant. Why. then, notice them? Yet some people do, and do so con stantly. X person speaks of having done certain thing on Thursday, when in reality it was done on Wednes- day. If no important point is involv- ed why call attention to the mistake? :? What good does 1t do to have the ex- act day set right? It is matter of no importance. so why insist upon cor recting the trivial error? Stanch friendships have often been pricked by this needle of useless correction. It is a great art. this art of learning to allow others to be mistaken when the mistake is unimportant Few learn it, but those who do are among the most comfortable friends one can have

TRAIN BROKE IN TWO

Bedding, November 1.-Two extra freight trains running from South Norwalk and Harlem respectively, to Danbury were partially wrecked near here early to-day, and four men were injured. The first train broke in two. and the second, which was running short distance behind, crashed into 1t. Flagman Benson of Danbury and Brakeman Wilson of New York were in the caboose of the first train, which was crushed into kindling wood. Benson was thrown into the wreckage and then lifted upon the roof of a box car, which was thrown into a swamp one hundred feet away. His leg was fractured and he received internal injuries. Wilson escaped with bruises and sprains. Engineer Kee- nan of Danbury of the second train was caught in the wreckage and badly bruised but was able to go to his home. The tiremen jumped and escaped with slight injuries.

Araiters of hairdressinu.

q want to learn the latest thing in hairdressing," said the visitor as soon as she landed in New York. Take me to a hairdresser's establishment, so can look things over."
 No. indeed" said her New York friend. We will go there after you know what you wish to buy. but the place to learn how to dress your hair is ia the dry goods shops. All you have to do is to study the salesgirls' hair. It is always done in the latest mode. and they all do 1t alike. so you cannot mistake. Sometimes it is badly exaggerated, but, of course, you don't have to copy that"
 "I didn't know the shopgirls were your arbiters of fashion in New York. ''
 Not in all respects. but. you see, hair dressing doesn't cost anything. To have the latest styles in clothes or jewelry is expensive. but one can be a very bowling swell in the matter of hair without its costing a cent. Be- sides. they are usually restricted fin the matter of gowns to plain black or possibly white blouses. so they take it all out in doing their hair."-New York Press.

OFFICE SEEKERS.
Mayor Thoms Will Be Watched from
 Now On.

Things are getting lively among aspirants for appointments for the different positions in the gift of Mayor Thoms and the board of al dermen, and from now on his honor will have applicants galoren. It ap- pears that an effort is to be made to increase the salary of the board of commissioners of public works from $150 a year to $500, and if this goes through all right it will not be very bad berth, although $500 wouldn't pay man for the time he has to devote to the work on that board provided he couldn't attend to it without neslecting other duties. A great deal of important work comes before that board and men competent to handle 1t ought to re ceive fair remuneration for their service. Of course nobody is obliged to accept a conmissionership, but that isn't the question. Would the increase in salary be any inducement to good men tc act on that board or would it have a tendency to cause a Ildu uSh lOl lltC paw HAAN tN N~NS way crowd out good men?
 In the opinion of those who have been heard on the subject you cannot get good service these times without paying for it. If this be so it would be a wise move to give the commits sioners a little more with the under standing that they shall devote moro time to the work required of them The trouble now is that the commis- sioners don't half investigate things that come to them and aS a conse- quence one or two men are in posi- ton to do what they please and have 1t sanctioned not only by the board of public works but the aldermen as we'll. The city could stand a little more inspection and if this be the best way to get it it might be well tc add a few dollars to the salary of the commissioners even though it might be found necessary to Top 1t of some- body else's pay who may be getting too much for the service rendered.

STRUCK A LEDGE
Steamer City of Birmingham
 Sank in Ten Faihoms of -. ... Wafer
THE CREW ESCAPED

Boston, Nov. 4.-The steamer City of Birmingham of the Ocean Steam ship company, struck a ledge in the harbor early to-day while bound out to Savannah and sank in ten fathoms of water about two miles below her dock. The crew escaped.
 The steamer, having made special trip north, with cargo of cotton started about 1:30 am. for the south At a slight bend where the channe enters what is known as the Middle Ground, the Birmingham hit an ob- struction. She backed off into deep water but before the full character of her damage was known, her engine room was flooded and fifteen minutes after striking she sank. Her crew had no difficulty in getting off in the steamers boats and rowing the two miles back to the dock. The tide was four hours ebb, and when the steamer backed off into deep water the cur rent swung her stern around so that she was headed almost back to the city. She lies with her upper deck above water, about half a mile from the lower end of Castle island.
 During the forenoon arrangements were begun for raising the Birming- ham.
 The City of Birmingham was built at Chester, Pa, in 1888, and has been in the southern cotton trade between Savannah and this city for a number of years. She was commanded by Captain Hammond, well knowI navigator and had the usual compile ment of officers.
 She is 1852 net tons burden, 301 feet in length, AZ feet beam and has 16 feet draught. She has passenger accommodations but none was on her to-day.
 Agents for the line expressed con- fidence to-day that the steamer could be saved.
 After Captain Hammond came ashore it was learned that the City of Birmingham struck ledge and when she came off was headed for the other side of the channel, down stream and was beached off Castle island, but the tide swung her stern round so that when she finally filled she was in deep water.

RAINS WERE HEAVY.
And a Cloudburst Sent the Rivers Re.
 cord High.

Phillips, Me, Nov. flowing to a series of heavy rain storms in the Rangely lakes section followed by a cloudburst. the Sandy river has risen to it's highest pitch since 1869. On the Phillips and Rangley railroad it will require days to repair damages to the trestle work and the road bed A bridge at Madrid, a part of an- other bridge were washed away, trees were uprooted, telephone and tele- graph poles overturned and roads badly washed out. The lakes and ponds rose to an almost unprecedent- ed pitch.
 The Franklin and Megantic railroad bridge on the Hammond field branch was carried away and that railroad is open only between Strong and Carre- bassett. The Bigelow terminus will not be opened for several days.
 On the Intervales between Phillips and Pennington many sheep and cat tie were lost owing to the rapid and unexpected rise of the water.
