MONDAY, JULY 22, 1907.

The department of state has been informed by the National Reform Council, with central office at Leicest- CT, England, that the International Housing Congress will meet in Lon don on August 5. The United States government has been invited by the committee to be specially represented at the congress. The subjects to be considered are of vital importance. Three days will be devoted to various aspects of the housing question, and on August 8 a short housing tour will be made to visit the estates at Bourn- vile and Port Sunlight, model cottage exhibition at Sheffield, and houses for the very poor at Liverpool. The officers of the National Housing Reform Council offer to do everything within their power to facilitate the inquiries that the American commits sioners might desire to make if any should be sent from this country.

The National German American alliance has invited all Germans Tn America 10 be in attendance and sucn an ins terest is being aroused that iuany thousands will no doubt be in attend ance. The event is to serve dual purpose, that of grand gathering and reunion of the "Fatnerland peo- pie" German and American born, to celebrate the one hundred and thirty second anniversary of the German American declaration of independence, which event transpired August IT'S. eleven months before the declaration of American independence. when the Germans in Philadelphia, through the directors of the Lutheran and Re- formed churches, published a mani- festo which admOnished 10 take up arms and they began to drill for the conflict which they saw ahead.

 The principal address will be de- I4- nsfa Tawn of Philadelphia, president of the Ma tloHal German American alliance.

The Interstate Commerce commis- sion, despite their protestations that the prosecution of Hartman was none of their business, did actually determine that question. says a Washington writer. They carefully considered" without consulting the attorney-general, who by law is sup posed to advise them that MT Harri- man should be put outside the power of the department of justice. for whom the commission pretends to have so much respect, to bring him to the bar of justice MT Knapp's attempt to excuse the commission's $ action by saying that there appeared to be no way to get to the bottom Of these transactions except by put ting Mr HarriEan on the stand seems rather lame. Mr Knapp prob ably never heard of the United States grand jury. and If he is right in his surmise that Mir Hartman has se- cured immunity from prosecution bv being called as a witness by the h. terstate Commerce commission" then the whole Hartman investigation is worse than a farce For what in that event will this investigation have accomplished? Nothing has been added to the information con eerning Harriman's methods. not al- ready known. The commissions re- port in fact could hardly succeed f, making Hartman and his practices more odi5us than Hartman himself has made them Probably much Isss of value has been extracted by the polite inquiry of the commission than would have been developed before a federal grand pury. Certainly the investigation has not checked M- Harriuanis Illegal operations On the contrary 1t seems to have only succeeded in giving lIr Hartman such an immunity bath that he is Erw in a position where justice can not reach him It certainly Is Harri- mans turn to laugh.

The trial of Pedlar Palmer, who is now before an English court charged with manslaughter. shows that it is not safe for a champion pugilist to have too fine an ear for music.

The punch killed . the singer and now MT Palmer re- # grets his vigorous objection to dis cord.-New Britain Herald.
 Next week a part of Connecticut's citizen soldiery will go into camp at Mantle. In recent years state camps have been given to work more than to display and they do not attract as much attention from the sightseers as when gaudy uniforms and other accompaniments that caught the eye were in evidence. The camps are now intended for practical results and that is what the state is paying its good money for.-New London Day.

Whatever can be done to prevent repetitions of such troubles will be. It is safe to promise that much, at least.-Bridgeport Standard. !
 The contest between state and federal courts in North Carolina over the enforcement of the rate law in wolves an issue that has got to be finally determined sooner or later Are the state courts to retain their Jurisdiction over purely state mat ters, or is the greater part of the judicial authority to pass into the hands of the federal courts? The same conflict existed in New York over the S0-cent gas case, but the North Carolina authorities seem re. solved to fight it out.-New York World
 Noting the furry which has been made by the Connecticut politicians over the proposal to employ the ref erendum in connection with the bond issue, the Providence Journal recalls that the referendum has been effec- lively used in its state. Indeed, the Rhode Island constitution provides that "the general assembly shall have no power, hereafter, without the ex- press consent of the people, to incur state debts to an amount exceeding fifty thousand dollars, except in time of war, or in case of insurrection or invasion. '-Hartford Times.
 The talk of mobilizing the Atlantic fleet in the Pacific has resulted, it is said, in large increase in enlist ments, thus relieving the navy of al considerable embarrassment, as the ships were short of their quota and recruits came slowly. Now decided increase is reported from recruiting stations, many who saw duty in the Spanish and Philippine wars return ing to the service. Tt is an i'll wind that blows good to no one," and much as one may deprecate war, it is satisfaction to see strong and able men going into the service of the navy. One might almost con clude that the stir was raised, by the resourceful press agent who has been aiding the recruiting service of late Springfield Union.

President Roosevelt's Napoleanic

President Roosevelt's Napoleanic
 move of massing in the Pacific the
 greatest flotilla of battleships ever
 assembled in any waters has prema-
 turely revealed a plan whose political
 purpose is as plain as day, says an
 exchange. In withdrawing his first
 denial that any such intention was entertained, the president from Oys7
 ter Bay issued, through Loeb, sec ond statement to the effect that it was not the intention of the govern ment to send this fleet of battleships
 to the Pacific "at once." Of course they are not to be sent at once. The purpose of sending them being pure ly political, the movement will be re- served until late in the year 1907, and during the whole of the year 1908, until after election in Novem- Der. Those who study the situation and look beyond the mere day, know that the present dynasty has decided that something must be done to dis tract public attention from our over discussed domestic conditions. They have been talked to death, all except the tariff, and as that will not down, it is necessary to divert public atten- tion from it. What more pregnant topic for debate, or the development of mob heat, than the fact that you have a neighbor on your border act ing suspiciously, so suspiciously that it is necessary for you to maintain at the danger point the greatest fiotilla of battleships ever brought together in time of peace. When this debate is on, which MT Roosevelt is obvious ly preparing for, no eloquence, how ever great. will be strong enough to fix public attention upon the revision of schedules or the discussion of any domestic political abuse.

FEUDS IN FAMILIES
SOURCES OF EMBARRASSMENT TO GUESTS. .',
Temptation to Sympathize with Ap' parent Victim Is Something to Avoid-Where Diplomacy
 Is Called For,

Few things are more embarrassing than to tinG ones self guest in dis united household. 5.
 One must be gifted with wonderful tact and prudence to be able to avoid taking sides and making remarks which embroil one with all parties, for no matter how much they fight among themselves they are certain to make a common cause against an outsider.
 After one has been cut a few times they learn not to put their fingers in between the blades of the scissors. Yet how persistent is the tempta. ton to sympathize with an apparent victim and mingle our own indigna. tion with the outbursts of which we are made the confidant.
 It may be the wife who is at odds by the conduct of a sonin-law. or the younger sister in a jealous rage against her seniors.
 Almost surely it is one of the wom- en of the family who pours out an ac- count of her sufferings in the guests ears.
 Men are not above making a break fast table scene by a casual utterance of slurring observation upon women in general. which particular women are bound to take up and respond to with all the enthusiasm of self-de- fense. But these caustic remarks are usually thrown off carelessly and with out the betrayal of wounded feelings. which characterizes the irony of women.
 It is scarcely possible to be an in- mate of a woman's family where she is at variance with her husband. and remain strictly neutral and impassive without convincing her that you are hesrtless and absolutely unsympa' thetic.
 One finds it safest to express ad- miration and wonder at the patience and long suffering of the woman who thus crayes your sympathy. mingled with dextrous little compliments for good qualities in the offending man whom she would be ready to tear your eyes out for abusing.
 After all. diplomacy is the course most nearly approaching justice, for in family feuds there is Invariably something to be said in favor of all parties -.

 sia Tablets.

There is no need whatever to de- priye yourself of the foods, that when assimilated and digested by the stomach, are productive of nerve force and pure. enriched blood. As the stomach and nervous system be- come toned and invigorated. you be- come buoyant and hopeful, making things In general assume a brighter aspect.
 Mrs Sophie Anderson. 536 East Main Street. Waterbury, Conn., says:
 "I had not tasted meat or vege- tables for two years, being compelled to live principally on cereals and milk. My stomach was diseased and my nervious system completely shattered.

A NOVEL FAN BAG.
Provides Against Loss of This Very --.. Useful Article.

The number of lost and strayed fans which are generally found in the ball room after a dance tells its own tale, and surely points moral for those who are anxious not to buy new fan after every party. Some such little fan bag as the one which we illustrate might save many fan from an un. timely end. It would be useful, too, for taking to the theater. or when travelling by train, in evening dress, from the suburbs.
 The shape of the bag is so simple that the sketch does not require much
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-07-22

in the way of explanation. The bag might be made in brocade, with a satin lining. edged with silk cord in some shade to harmonize. and fin- ished with a long loop of satin rib bon which can easily be twisted round the wrist. or suspended from the waist. A little sachet powder scat tered between the brocade and the lining would be an improvement to a bag of this description. and would be just enough to give a delicate per fume to the fan.
