not prepared to announce any decision I doubted whether I could appoint either MT. Depew or MT. Hyde to the place.
 "As soon as MT. Hartman heard that MT Hyde was a candidate, and had asked the names of his packers, he hastily said that he did not wish to be understood as antagonizing MT. Hyde, and would be quite willing to support him; and though understood that he still preferred MT. Depew, he left me strongly under the impression that he would be almost as we'll satisfied with MT. Hyde, and was much discontented at my informing him, so positively not once but repeatedly, that I did not think I should be able to appoint either.
 His and my letters now before me of the fall of 1904 run as follows: On his return from spending the summer in Europe, on September 20 he wrote me stating that if I thought 1t desirable he would come to see me at any time, either then or later Che had been, as you remember, a delegate to the repub- lican national convention, having vot- ed for my nomination.. On September i, 23 I answered this letter, saying:
 At present there is nothing for me to see you about, though there were one or two points in my letter of &C., ceptance which I should have liked to discuss with you before putting It out.
 "On October 10 1 wrote him:
 Tn view of the trouble over the state ticket in New York, I should much like to have a few words with you. Do you think you can get down here within few days and take lunch con or dinner with me?'
 "The trouble I spoke of had reference to the bolt against Higgins, that Is, in reality, against MT, Harrimans friend, | Governor Odell. A reference to the files of the New York papers at the 1 time will show that there was a very extensive bolt against Mir. Higgins up- on the ground that Governor Odell had l nominated lim, and that he had in some matter favored MT. Hartman over-much, neither ground, in my judg- ment, being tenable. Mr Hartman S backing of Governor Odell and extreme anxiety that he should win out by se- curing Higgins election was matter of common notoriety and mentioned in all the papers, notably the New York Sun. On October 12 MT. Hartman wrote me:
 CT am giving very large part of my time to correcting the trouble here and intend to do so if any effort on my part can accomplish it. .I will take occasion the first of next week tc run down to see you, and think by that

MISS MARGARET TIERNEY

A large proportion of the operations performed in our hospitals are upon women and girls for some organic trouble.
 Why should this be the case 2
 Because they have neglected them selves, as every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in those dragging sensations, pains at left or right of abdomen, backaches, nervous exhaustion, in fiammation, Liberation, displace- ments, and other organic weaknesses.
 All of these symptoms are indica- tions of an unhealthy condition of the female system and if not needed the penalty has to be paid by dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an opera tion-but remember that Lydia D.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, has saved hundreds of women from surgical operations.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. has cured more cases of feminine ills than any other one remedy. Such letters as thefollowing

 Judge James P. Platt in the United States district court yesterday heard testimony in the suit of Rafael Gra- nucci, a farm laborer employed in Montowese, who is claiming two thou sand dollars damages from the Starin Transportation company for personal injuries and loss of his baggage on the night of December 22, 1903, while going to New York from this city on the steamer Erastus Corning.
 During thick weather the Corning ran on Cobbs rock, off South Norwalk. In the. excitement among the passen- gers following the mishap Granucci says that he lost his wallet containing three hundred dollars. and his baggage, which he left in the cabin. With other passengers he was put into small boat and rowed ashore. In making this trip he says that he suffered from the cold, and was laid up for several weeks.
 The owners of the steamer have asked the court to limit the liability of the company in all suits that may be brought against it to s15,0OO, which is the appraised value of the Corning.
 Attorney James. D. Dewell Jr., gen. eral counsel for the marine department of the Starin line, appeared for the de- fendants; Attorney Rogers appearing for the plaintiff. The case was not tln- ished yesterday, but will come up again on April 19.

KITTIE BELLAIRS MAKES NIT BELkSC0 COMEDY IS FINE Excellent Company Presenting Well Constructed Play De-
 lights Audience.

Belasco to conceive, Belasco to ex- ecute and Belasco to select his players would seem to spell success judging from the presentation of Sweet Kitty 'Bellairs" at the Hyperion theater last evening. The play needs no comment, its pretty Aumor and pathos having before this won for 1t a we'll deserved success The case was in every re- spect excellent, and the work of Miss Fanchon Campbell in the title role was of a very high character There is but one thing to be regretted, name ly, that d larger audience did not see the performance.
 As Mistress Kitty Bellairs, coquet- tish young widow who comes to Bath to reign as queen to fall before her fate in the person of Lord Verney and the jealousy, of the former social queen, Miss Campbell was charming. Her conception and portrayal of the part was all that could be desired. As the woman taunting the man she loves and sending him away with the belief that her love for him has been but a leSt on her part Slle ,IosS to dn excellent piece of acting. All in all she was a woman, and very much of one before the most satisfactory end ing of the piece.
 Mention should also be made of the very creditable work of Miss Martha Evans in the part of Lady Julia Stan dish and MT Harold Mead in the role of Colonel Henry Villiero While the work of these few stood out particu- larly the portrayal of his or her part by each member of the cast was such as to make the whole highly satisfac. tory to the audience, which gave sev- eral curtain calls at the end of each act. As Lord Verney MT, Hugh V Wallace made very satisfactory lover.
 There was but one hitch in the per formance which occurred in the frs act when MT. George Roberts in the role of Captain Dennis O'Hara failed to accept his initial cue.

THE ANTS OF THE HIMarAYAs.

In the Himalayas, on the side fac-i ing India, the limits of perpetual snow is about $500 feet higher than in the Alps. One result of this is that val. rious forms of life are found in the great Asian mountains at an elevation which seems extraordinary. Among these are many species aof ants, which have been particularly studied by Dr. August Forel Up to nearly 10000 feet the ants are very abundant, and even at the elevation,of 12,0OO feet four species have been found, and 1t is believed that more careful investi- gation would snow that they exist even at 13,000 feetior more. A unique fact, not found in any other great mountain range, is that the Himalay- as possess an immense variety of local species of ants. Out of 115 forms recognized in the Himalayas, fifty are peculiar to those mountains-Yout Companion.

 As the barge was making the jour- ney down the ways 1t stuck against an- other barge which Is being built foP the Lehigh Valley company and one end of which extended slightly over the ways. Some of the railing was torn from the barge which was being launched and the ways were broken frcm underneath, letting it down to the ground. Effoyts will be made to-mor- row to float 1t at high tide.
 This is said to be the first accident Of this nature to have occurred at this yard
