STUDENTS NO MINERS. ARE TO ODISSIPATFD. However, Students Who Worked Way Through
 Will Succeed.

Most of the college boys who come out here to study mining on the ground are not worth the powder to blow them to Kingdom Come" said one of these severely practical, sagaci- ous, high -salaried men of the west ern mining districts, few days ago.
 "The trouble with most of these fel- lows who come from Yale, Harvard. and Columbia is,' he continued, they have learned luxurious and dissipated habits. They'll come all the way out here in the buffet car, drinking and smoking the whole trip. Their idea of business when they get here is to sit around a grill smoking cigarettes and drinking beer and talking loud. They have the notion that when they come out west they come unbridled. They come with a view of airing knowledge instead of gaining it, The hard knocks of the western man en- able him to read them like book Their parents send them out here loaded down with money and they manage to waste it all in gambling houses just like old prospectors.'
 "No, give us the fellows who come out saying, I'll need no more money after few dollars at the start Our profession is in need of good men. Give me the fellow who has worked his way through college. He'll usually make good. He doesn't have to have cocktail in the morning before break fast in order to think he is manly. For lack of money if for no other req son he has not taken on bad habits.
 And still again, don't know but the professors are somewhat to blame. One of them came out here lately to make arrangements for some boys that he was going to send out. The mine the boys were to make study of was about three miles out. He thought thy'd need carriages every day to get back and forth. Nonsense! It was just a pretty walk. Their mothers had weaned them once, why put the bottle right back into their mouths?"

A REPLY TO MIR. ROOT.
His Argument for the Campaign Fund
 Meets Criticism.

Secretary of State Root has no pa tience with reformers who believe that a. large campaign fund is conducive to corrupt methods, In an address at Yale university last Monday Mir. Root de- clared that "in the main there is no more useful expenditure of money rom the public point of view than the out lay in political campaigns, despite oe- casional abuses in raising and apply ing this money. "In the last presiden- tlal election" 1" added MT. Root, "the ex- penditure, according to official state" ments, amounted to about only three and one-half cents per capita for the people of the United States on one side and probably somewhat less on the other. The great bulk Of it was ap- lied to the political education of voters.''
 There were approximately S0000,O00 inhabitants of the United States in 1904, On the basis of three and one-half cents per capita Ion one side" the ex- penditure by that side amounted to s2. SOC, ,00O. Secretary Root says the great bulk of it was applied to the po- litical education of the voters. What necessity exists for such education when the voter can derive from the newspapers all the information he needs to enable him to vote intelligent ly? There is no lack of excellent re- publican journals, and they reach most of the voters who are republicans. They present the case for the republican par ty with more intelligence than the pamphlets which are circulated but rarely read The same reasoning ap- plies to democratic campaign expendi- lures for the political education of the voter. The preparation of handbooks by the national committees may be jus tified, as such books may be useful to speakers. But 1t is open to grave doubt whether voters are influenced by reprints of the Congressional Record. Life is short. Long speeches are too great a tax upon the time and mental faculties of the average voter. The intelligent voter is satisfied with the newspapers as source of news and views. Money spent otherwise on his political education is wasted
 There is class of voters who read neither the newspapers nor the official of party committees. There is good reason to believe that their po- litical education is conducted not through their intelligence, but through other. channels. If they received pamph- lets alone, if all inducements to edu- cate themselves were withheld, 1t is probable a presidential campaign would cost much less than S2,SO0,000. At any rate, the experiment would be worth trying not only in the interest of pub lie morals, but of economy as we'll Baltimore Sun.

ESSEX CITIZENS TIRED.
TOWN IS NOT A JONAH
Racer Snakes With White Collars Are an Unknown
 Variety.

Essex, May 2O.-The people of this town are tired, very tired, of having 1t held up to the country at large as the never-ceasing scene of queer antics by enormous-sized snakes, wildcats, pam thers, strange beasts and ghosts. As an old resident said to-day, speaking of the stories sent out from here by one Jones Carney" for example: "The monumental liar is unknown to me, but hope. for the good name of Essex, he is not a resident of this place.
 The latest story to go out under an Essex date line was to the effect that the man Carney, in turning over a boat which had been protected during the winter, found half dozen snakes of the tracer" variety, black in color, with a white ring about their necks. The widespread notoriety given this find has attracted the attention of scien- lists, who have written scores of let ters asking for the dead body of an al- legged racer" snake with white ring about its neck. Admirers of the snake kingdom have been looking for years for specimens of the racer" snake with white collar, and they thought this time they had the clue to one. The Tracer" snakes with white throats are not strangers here, but racer" snakes with white collars are as rare as "Jones Carneys." Essex is again vic timized, and scientists are denied the chance to vindicate a fiction of snake literature

To Override Rules.

Alderman McKerness introduced a resolution fraught with importance in the party fight in the board but the consequences of 1t were postponed by the board laying the resolution on the table until the next meeting. The motion was to amend one, of the rules of the board requiring three members of committee to constitute quorum, making only two necessary. Alderman Curtiss wanted to know if President Johnson had heard any opinion of the corporation counsel on the matter.
 M.. Johnson started to explain that he had verbal opinion that the mat ter was not legal when McKerness in terposed an objection, saying that the corporation counsels opinion hadn't been asked MT, Homan ended the trouble by his motion to table.

 THE PRESIDENTS PoPULARITY.
It's Bearing on American Problems as
 Seen by English Eyes.

Amidst the many darkening clouds which are rolling up on the American horizon there Is one definite spot of light. All depends upon the decision of the American people, who are, as the President says, Tn America the sovereign power, and the American people have decided that their real leader is Theodore Roosevelt. This is admitted by the opposite, or Democrat ic, party as much as by the Republi- cans who gave MT, Roosevelt his place by those who distrust and detest his personality as much as by those who are devoted to his name. They all agree that if Theodore Roosevelt will stand for a third term resistance will be as impossible, or at all events as useless, as resistance to Abraham Lin- coin proved to be at his second elec- ton in 1865, So intensely is this felt that Republicans denounce his threat ened retirement as treason to the country, while Democrats believe that at the last moment he will be, as it were, stoned by opinion, and coerced against his own judgment and his own
 
 wishes into once more standing for the chair Study that fact in the light of his record, and you will see that the immense majority of the people, who constitute, as he himself says, the true sovereign of the States, must be clean of the wish to support either pluto cracy or mob rule-that the people wish both to be avoided or put down, whatever the effect and whatever the sacrifice. This is the more remarkable because Mir Roosevelt affronts and de- f1es two other sections of the voters besides the plutocracy and the mob; namely those-and they are a multi tude-who profit by the most visible disease of America, the prevalence of corruption in the governments of the great cities. If, as all Americans de- clare, the heart of the American people goes out to Theodore Roosevelt, the heart of the American people is still pure; and whoever has been corrupt ed by the over-sudden access of wealth or by the spread of economic fallacies, it is not the American nation. Mir Roosevelt has not had occasion to fight pecuniary corruption as openly and strenuously as he has fought the trusts and mob rule, but his sentiments on the sbject-are thoroughly understood. The bosses dread and hate him as much as the multi-millionaires do, or the managers of the fighting trade un- ions.
 It is little difficult either to explain or to understand the sudden magnitude which the two economic questions have attained in America The amazing success of the syndicates of capitalists called trusts Is due no doubt at bottom to protection, without which their pro- fits would be too uncertain to tempt them into such combinations. That ex- planation cannot, however be com plete, for the railway magnates are not protected by the tariff, and when pros lection was at it's zenith in Great Brit ain there were no syndicates. There

A Bit Too Realistic.

Some amateurs in provincial town gave theatrical performance. Just before the curtain went up the star actor took the manager aside and said to him:
 Now, look here! I don't propose to drink water instead of wine in the drinking scene in the second act I want wine genuine wine. The uni ties must be preserved. We want to make this play as realistic as possi- ble,"
 "Oh, you want champagne at 15 shil- llngs a bottle, do you?"
 ''Yes, sir Everything must be re- alistic"
 "All right. In the second act you shall have real wine, and when you take poison in the last act you shall have some real poison. I'll see that you don't complain of the play not be- ing realistic enough. How does prus- sic acid strike youT'-London Tit-Bits. =. ---=rA

BUCKINGHAM FAMILY. MIDDLEBURY NATIVES
Seven Brothers and Sisters All Over Seventy
 Years Old.

A family of seven brothers and sis ters which for seventy years remains unbroken is certainly a remarkable one. It indicates unusual health on the part of it's members, combined with sanitary living.
 The Buckingham family of Mid dlebury is a good example of the old New England type. Born and reared among the hills of that town, in house built over century ago, and purchased by the father about the time of his marriage, eight children grew to manhood and womanhood af- ter the happy, healthy fashion of their time. Most of them married and went to homes of their own, only one unmarried son remaining at the old homestead. Of late years two of the daughters have returned and are liv- ing in the home of their childhood caring for tis brother in his old age
 In years gone by the family held many reunions, but as the children grew older these family gatherings be- came less and less frequent, until 20 years elapsed without such meeting. again at the old home.
 The house is situated about half or quarters of a mile from the Breakneck school house, on the road to Watertown. Near it stands an i'm mense pear tree which still bears an abundant crop of fruit-the pears be- ing remarkably sweet and juicy and of an uncommon species, this tree being, so far as is known by the family, the only tree of it's kind hereabouts.
 One sister, Mrs. Anna Andrus, died in the early eos, and her husband married, after a few years, her sis ter, Mary The others are all living and all are over 70 years of age. Their names and ages are as follows: George Buckingham, seventy three, Middle bury; Mrs. Mary Andrus, seventy-two, New Britain; Henry Buckingham, sev- enty-nine, Ellington; Mrs. Maria Tolles, eighty-four, Seymour Mrs. Be- linda Hotchkiss, eighty-two, Middle bury; Mrs. Caroline Marsh, eighty, Brooklyn, N. r.. Mrs. Clarissa Bishop, seventy-six Middlebury. All the sis ters are now. widows. Mrs. Hotchkiss and Mrs. Bishop reside at the old homestead with their brother, George. There are over fifty descendants of the original Buckingham who occupied the house now living,
 All these seven brothers and sisters are now in good health, and the fam fly circle bids fair to remain unbroken for some time to come.

Park Commission Request Turned Down.

The park commission had Alderman Loos champion a resolution drawn up by them to give them power to con tract for the removal of shoulder of rock from West Rock, which they said obstructed the view therefrom. The information was given that the com mission thought sum to exceed S1,0o0 could be obtained for the rock so blast ed off. The resolution was to give the committion power to contract for the removal of any rcck it saw fit and to apply the proceeds of the sale of rock to any purpose for beautifying West Rock park that seemed good to it. Ob- jection was raised on the ground of the generality of the resolution and the lack of information of the need for the per- Alderman McKerness express ing it that if passed the commission could remove the entire rock without again asking any permission from the 3oaaa
 Unanimous consent to the considera- tion of the resolution was given upon

Homan Crltlclses Committee,

 Right here Alderman Homan inter- posed a criticism of the abatement of taxes committee, apropos of some petitions favorably reported therefrom. He said he didn't wish to appear as criticising the committee but that there was considerable criticism going on that the committee was too liberal in it's awards and that 1t was especially liberal in cases where Savings banks were indirectly concerned.
 Mathanson took up the defense. He declared the criticisms to be confined purely to statements "Only one case, !" said he, since have been on the com mittee has been awarded wherein a savings bank was at all concerned.
 Electric arc lights were ordered to be placed on Crown street between 33 and 35, on Dixwell avenue at Division and at Daisy and Goodyear streets,

YEARS HANDED ID BAD ONES
 BY COURT
A. Few More Cases at Tomb stone Go Over to Next Term of Court Because of Error in Indictments,
Especial to ReviewD

TOMBSTONE, July iS.--The work of the criminal business of the dis trict court has been completed with the exception of the cases against c. l.. Cummings and c. E. FTedericks, charged with receiving stolen goods. These cases will come up for trial the first of next week. A review of the work of the term shows that sev- enteen prisoners have been convicted and sentenced to serve terms in Yuma. They are as follows.
 John Brown, one year for burglary; Guisseppi NlussO. sixteen years for murder: Ed Kelly. burglary, one year; Pete Maxwell, forgery, one year; Francisco Lopez, burglary, three years; Robert Sanez, burglary. one year; Vaso Dabrokvich, burglary, one year; Lorenzo Lopez, burglary, three years; John TurnbuH, assault with intent to commit murder, three years: Pablo Flores, burglary, two years: CresciniO Garcia. burglary, three years: C. c.
