General Frederick Grants Story About
His Famous Father.

General Frederick Dent Grant,
besides being commander of the de-
partment of the east, holds an es-
pecially high rank as dinner guest
In exclusive New York society cir
cles. On an average he dimes cut
every other night. He is wanted
not for the sort of after dinner
speech that Chauncey NJ. Depew
was wont to give, for the general
himself is frank to admit that he
does not possess that peculiar kind
Of gastronomic eloquence. The gen.
sral, however, has special forte of

Approaching an Iceberg.

Modern steamships are fitted
with instruments that tell when the
ship is approaching an iceberg, but
the men in the engine room can
tell without an instrument. It is
said that when ship enters water
a good deal colder than that through gh
which it has been passing its pro-
peller at once begins to revolve more
rapidly. When the men notice,
therefore, that the propeller, with
out an increase of steam, begins to
move faster they at once send word
to the officers, and the lookout
gets on the alert for the berg.

Who Is He?

A little chap who sneaks about
Pinching children's toes-es,
Who treats them in manner cool
And paints quite red their noses,
Who strikes the flowers in fall quite dead
And makes the autumn chill,
Who comes when least expected
At night when all is still.
He comes around just once a year,
And ne'er does he get lost!
He's sometimes early. sometimes late.
But we're sure to have Jack Frost.

MAN HIT BY AUTO.
Timothy Kelley of Hopewell May Die
 As Result of Injuries,

Hartford, Nov 1S.-While the Glastonbury trolley car due to arrive at City hall at g o'clock last evening was crossing the causeway at Hock- anum. Motorman House saw man lying just ahead near the tracks and after the car was stopped and the body picked up, it was found to be that of man with bloody face and head, and with just consciousness enough to say that he had been struck by an automobile. The man, who was later found to be Timothy Kelley of Hopewell, which is in the south part of the town of Glaston- bury, was put aboard the car by Con- ductor Morgan and word was sent ahead to the Hartford police station and when the car reached Market street the ambulance was ready to convey the injured man to St Fran cis's hospital.
 Kelley was so badly stunned that he was unable to speak more than few wandering words when he reach ed the hospital but he gave his name and then passed into delirium. The physicians, however, believed that no bones were broken, but it was rather early last evening to tell whether there were internal in- juries or not.

THE LABOR SESSION
Reports oi Committees Were Inc Order of ihe Dsy-TeronIo
 usy Be Next.

Denver, Nov 1S.-To-day's session of the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor was devoted to the consideration of com plete reports of the resolutions com mittee and reports of a number of other committees that had not yet been heard from.
 The report of the committee on President Gomperss report has been made special order of business for tomorrow morning.
 The election of officers may be reached Frida yafternoon and the in. stallation Saturday morning, after which the convention will adjourn.
 Toronto seems to have the lead over the other cities contending for the honor of the next convention. though St Louis is making a hard fight.
 Theer appears to be only two fights for officers in the federation. John Mitchell and Thomas J. Lewis will lock horns for the second vice presi- dency and Andrew Furuseth of the seamen's union will try to oust Dan- Tel J. keefe of the Longshoremen's s union from the office he holds.

BALANCE OF $500.
After Paving All Expenses of Water-
 bury Tag Day.

The tag day committee met yes- terday afternoon with Dr Spencer and finished all the work for the present. The treasurer of the exec utive committee. Mrs Walter w. Holmes, reported that the total re- ceipts of tag day were $5,932.17, and that the total expenditures were $132.17, leaving a balance of $5,800 for the proposed Anti-Tuberculosis hospital. Votes of thanks were ex- tended by the committee to the news papers of the city, to the officers of the city water department, the police force, the employees of the railroad company and the telephone operators for their courtesy and patience; to the owners of the automobiles which were of such valuable help in the col- lecting; to the bank clerks who counted the money and to George l.. White. Ralph N. Blakeslee. the Reid & Hughes Dry Goods Go, the Water bury Printing Co, the D. B. Wilson Co, the Hotchkiss Paper Co and the Scovill Manufacturing Co by whose generosity the expenses of the com mittee were greatly reduced and to R. A. Cairns, B. W. Tinker, H. E. Parsons, N. A. Upham, H. W. Wales, all of whom contributed in various ways to the success of the day.
 Dr Spencer, head of the tag day committee, received two checks for $10 each to-day, so it is evident that the fund will continue to grow. AS soon as the hospital is started in all probability some large contributions will be made.

BALLOON LANDED IN ROCKVILLE
Held by Police for Damage in tho City in Tearing Down Wires.

Rockville. Nov 18.-The balloon .Pittsfield in the heart of the Berk- shires' which made an ascension at Pittsfield at 2:55 yesterday afternoon landed here just an hour later. The descent was very rapid and in or der to get clear of the buildings in the city, the pilot, William Van Sleet, threw out what ballast he had. Passing over the Saxony mill, the pilot let down the anchor in the vii cinity of Grand street. The anchor caught in a tree and was broken. The balloon dragged along quarter of a mile, when it became entangled in a tree in, the yard at Christian Newmarker's. The pilot and his companions leaped from the basket after their wild flight.
 The balloon was held by Police Captain Kane for damages to city property in tearing down fire alarm wires. The wires were ripped from the poles for quarter of mile.
 The pilot stated that they reached a height of 10000 feet. Van Sleet returned to Pittsfield last night. He said the flight was the most thrilling he had ever made. The height reach ed was believed to be the highest achieved by balloon, at least in this country MT Van Sleet said that at this altitude the air was warm and kept the bag up, but that when he brought the balloon to lower level into a current of cold air, the drop was very rapid.

TEACHERS PLEASED.
Say Politics Will Be Eliminated From
 District Schools.

The majority if not all of the teachers in the suburban school dis tricts favor the vote of the board of education passed last Monday even ing to have the city charter amend ed so that the district shall be un- der the full jurisdiction of the board. It seems to be their general opinion that esce the schools are consolidat- ed under the board of education poli- tics will be eliminated from them, for their will be no more district committeeman to deal with. A change of committeeman meant gen. erally a change in the teaching stan of his district Efficiency never en- tered into the matter at all, for ef- ficient or not if a teacher was not popular in the district she was dis missed without explanation. Fur thermore, the change would give the outside teachers better pay, assure them in their positions as long as their conduct merited and clear the atmosphere of small politics.
 It has been said that it would be very difficult for the board of edu- cation to get graduates of the Nor maj schools to teach in the suburban districts. The board of education seems to be aware of this and will handle the matter in the proper way when the legislation proposed Is en- acted. Until then the committee having the matter in charge prefers to say nothing about it.

ROOSEVELT TO ACT
Football Enthusiasts Want Him to
 Allow the Game.

Denver, Nov 1S-President Roose- yelt has been asked tou Sc his in. fluence in having contract between representatives of Denver university and the Carlisle Indian school for football game between the elevens of the two schools lived up to.
 The game is scheduled for Decem- Der In this city. Yesterday Man ager Garland of Denver university received word from Carlisle that the game was off, that leave of absence could not be secured for so long q journey.
 Subsequently the local college people learned that the Indians had not cancelled their date with the Nebraska university at Lincoln, a part of their western tour, and they at once asked the president through Former United States Senator Pat terson to request that the Indians be given the leave necessary. A DOT tion of Senator Patterson's message reads: The Denver boys want square deal and turn to you to get it for them"
 Governor Butchel, who is chancel- Tor of the Denver university .alsa wired Congressman Bonynge and Senator Teller to secure, is possible the intervention of cimmissioner of Indian affairs Leupp.

FOOTBALL TICKETS SCARCE
Many Disappointments This Year
 From Sport Enthusiasts.

Never in the history of football was there such a demand for tickets for any game as for the Yale-Har~ yard battle in New Haven on Satur- day. Persons who have not missed a game in years will be compelled to stay at home this Saturday for it is impossible to get tickets from the Yale management. The demand was far in excess of the supply and of course numerous are the lads and lassies that have been disappointed. Although the ticket department has its distribution down to such a fine point 1t can trace every ticket, nev- ertheless many of the pasteboards are bound to find their way to the hands of the spectators. And the speculators, who are fortunate enough to corral even few tickets, should be able to dispose of them at handsome profit. A Waterbury man offered ten dollars for a ticket in New Haven yesterday but was un- able to get it at that price.

KILLED BY ELEVATOR
John H. Jones Met Death at the
 ScoyiII Factory.

John H. Jones, aged 25 years, a native of Utica, N. Y. for some time past in charge of an elevator at building No fl of the Scovill Man. ufacturing Co, was killed yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock by being caught between the platform of the elevator and one of the floors. He was caught just below the chin and was held so tight it required the as- sistance of several men to extricate the body. He was alone when the accident happened and the assump- tion is that he was trying to board the car while it was in motion A boy named Martel was the first to see the body hanging from the ele- vator and spread an alarm. Medical Examiner Crane viewed the remains and gave permission for their re- moval to Mulville's morgue. He was interested in Y. M. c. A. work and was young man of good habits.

COUNT BONI CASE
S0ii 10 Get Possession of His Children Postponed For a
 mODlh.

Paris, Nov 1S.-The hearing of the suit brought by Count Boni de Gas tellane against Princess Helie de Sagan, formerly his wife, for the GUS tody of his three children, was to- day postponed until November 25. This action was taken at the request of Albert Clemenceau, counsel for the princess, who announced that he had just entered the case and that it was impossible for him to proceed to-day M. Bonnet, the Count de Castellane's lawyer, did not oppose the request of M. Clemenceau for postponment, but he formally pe- titioned the court to place the chill dren in the care of the Marquise de Castellane, mother of Count Boni, pending a settlement of the case, on the ground that they were uncom- fortable and ill in the house of their mother, the princess, and because it was desirable that they should escape the atmosphere, unhealthful both morally and physically, which he all legged pervaded the home of the mother. The court ruled that it could not pass upon this question to- day and the entire matter went over for one week
 Count de Castellane was present in court.

CATHOLIC CONGRESS
Closing Session Held Today Membership Fees Were
 Discussed. x

Chicago, Nov S.-Extension of the Influence of the church through missions at home and abroad was the central theme of discussion at the closing sessions of the day of the hrst Roman Catholic Missionary Congress which for three days has held the attention of the prelates and laymen the country over. Papers on The Layman's Opportunity"

Substantial contributions were received and en- thusiastic approval of the congress which marks the advance of the Ro- man Catholic church in America to, position in the church councils. Neither amendment which carried provided for the simplification of the classes of members. Life members are to pay $50, and to be exempt from further dues; sustaining mem- bers to pay $10 per annum and members $5, thus eliminating the present distinction between individu- al and organization membership.
