EGGS POISON SOME.

An interesting theory has just been advanced by Dr R. Kingston Fox for the curious effects that eggs have on some people Eggs, like shell fish, contain q powerful lime decomposing substance, supposed to reside chiefly In the membrane which incloses the white of the egg. On the outer surface of this membrane the shell is formed, con sstlng principally of lime, the sub stance in question having the power of selecting the calcium Oime) dissolved ih surrounding media and precipitatlne 1t in a solid form (for the shell of an egg is lime). when the llme-destroy- ing substance is taken into tho human stomach 1t finds it's way quickly into the blood, and in individuals who nrc not tolerant of it's action reduces the hbrin forming power of the blood by precipltatlng the life salts on which that power depends. Hence t.ere Is diminished compatibility, and transu. cation (passing) of lymph through the walls of the capliaries.

BRYAN IN MAJORITY

Fcnton is set down as q Bryan man as he defeated Dunn, the Willimantic mayor for the place and the latter Is known to be against Bryan. Ross ran on the ticket four years ago as a Bryan man and so Is set down as sure. Judge Walsh seems to be somewhat doubtful for many of the democrats had set him down as against, but 1t is declared by the Bryan men that they are sure of him. Still there Is skeptlcism about this.
 Lined up against them they admit of course that the Hartford delega- ton will be against them. This in- cludcs Ney and McManus. Some of the other delegates are held to be likely to switch from Bryan in the event of his failure to be chosen on the first ballot in the convention, It was the talk among many democrats of the city yesterday that Bryan would | have little chance for nomination un. less he could get 1t on the first ballot They even went further and said that he would probably not be elected Johnson is looked upon as q very like. l ly choice.

RAILROAD MAN

provement work, as we'll as finish the new lines under construction, which have been temporarily abandoned
 I do not intend to burden you with figures but this year the gross earnings of the railroads of the country are showing approximately 15 per cent. de- crease as compared with last year, If this continues the balance of the year the decrease will be approximately 400 million dollars, Therefore. If the war is kept up on the railroads at coming sessions of our law makers. they may force reduction of wages and thereby further cripple every business of the country.
 Of the 15 per cent. decrease in earn ings. find that 8 per cent. is due to legislative acts or orders of railroad commissions reducing freight and pas senger and express rates. As a basis for this statement, am taking the act ual experience in the states served by the lines with which I am connected. If applied to all the railroads in the country on the same basis the loss fin revenue from legislative acts alone would amount to 200 million dollars for one year. This. taken in connection with the 75 million dollars advance in

Forakcrltes Break With Administra
 ton Faction.

Jackson, Mlss, April 20 The repuh- lican state convention held to-day prov cd rather tumultuous. lively nstlcutf preceding the opening of the conven- ton. when a number of those who fa- vored the selection of Senator Forake' for tho presidential nomination at tempted 10 force their way Into the convention, which was controlled by the supporters of President Roosevelt and the policies of the present national administration. Quiet was restored when a special officer stationed at the door of the convention hall drew his pistol and threatened to shoot any one who attempted to force an entrance
 The outcome was the holding ot two conventions, one faction endorsing tho national administration and selecting delegates known to he in favor to the policies of President Roosevelt. while tho other wing elected full list of delegates, adopted resolutions denounc- ing the present national administration and instructed their delegates to vote for Senator Foraker for the prSiGential nomination.

 At this time above all others We must look for a successor to President Roosevelt, who shall be a big, broad- gauge man. The commercial, indus trial, agricultural and laboring inter- ests through their representative orr ganlzatlons should dictate ,in broad comprehensive manner. the business blanks of the platforms of both parties, fairly protecting both the public and the railroads These interests should ask the prospective candidates to en- dorse or reject the blanks so framed in order that tho country will know how they stand.
 President Roosevelt, through his in- domitable will and power to control, has installed in the minds of the people ot this country and the rest of the world the important Influence of the president in our national affairs. we should not fah to realize that the pres ident will in the future occcupy posi- ton so prominent in the eyes of the world that his individual policy will have a direct and important bearing uron the business development of our nation. Therefore. as we are on the eve of q presidential election, this Is a vital question for us to solve We should whether republicans or demo- crats, look well to the policy of each of the candidates for nomination by our party and consider carefully who is the safest man. This Is a question which every thoughtful voter must consider, having in mind our present depressed conditions, and anxiety for the future.

LIFE INSURANCE IN DELAWARE.

IT He report Of State Insurance Commissioner
4 George w. Marshall for the year ending
December 81, 1907, discloses some remarkable
facts.
The population of the State according to the
census OF 1000, is $4,000 In the State 1904
policies are carried on which premiums of ST.,
3z6,53o.55 were paid in 1907, an average for each
policy holder of So.S2 paid in premiums annually,
or 500 for every inhabitant of the State, male
and female, adults and children.
The average Of each policy carried is S263, and
the average of insurance for each individual in
the State is SI92.
The life insurance in force in Delaware on De-
cember IS, 1907, was $35,5Io,857.73. Death
losses incurred during 1907 were $S456S67o
This, deducted from the premiums paid during
the year. leaves the remarkable surplus of $780,
Ssa7o that the companies received from the citi-
zens of Delaware during the year 1907, or $5.35
for every inhabitant of the State.
This showing is doubtless not equalled by any
territory of a similar population in the country
and illustrates the confidence the people of the
State repose in life insurance, and the great tax
the companies exact from them.
This review does not include the policies car
ried in fraternal organizations

BRYAN AVN DIsFRANcHIsEMENr.

a NEW YORK paper which misses no op-
a portunity to crack Bryan over the head
and, of course it is a "Gold-Democratic" paper
declares that Bryan is seeking only the nomi-
nation Of his party for president with no thought
Of election.
Bryan, when questioned recently, expressed his
approval of the acts of the Southern States
which disfranchsed the negroes This state
ment by Bryan, his critic says, is simply sop
thrown TO the Southern delegates Bryan needs
them to nominate him at Denver
But his opinion regarding Southern disfran-
chsement, the New York paper believes, would
seriously impair his chances of election were
Bryan TO be nominated. The implication is that
no Democratic candidate who approves the dis
franchisement will have a chance of election,
And is it further implied that the Democratic
candidate should be nominated on platform re.
buking the Southern Democrats for their dis
franchisement of the negroes?
The Democratic stronghold is in the South.
It needs no prophet to tell what would follow
in that region the adoption OF platform at Den
yer commenting unfavorably on disfranchise-
ment and the standing thereon Of a candidate
whose main support would come from the
South Democratic campaign with seriously
divided Southern support would be ludicrous
If any so-called Gold Democrats imagine that
a conservative" Democrat is to be placed on
platform framed to catch the coored voters they
are chasing the most brilliant kind of rainbow
Some Democrats have frequently entertained the
hope that they can win a considerable part of the
colored vote, but when the election figures are
counted such hopes are always shattered.

SENATOR DUPoNT's ADDRESS

II HF HON. HENRY A. DUPONT, IN an
l. address in the Senate the other day COM
nressed into a few words, framed with the Ut
most clearness of thought, his views on the pro-
posal to build more warships for the government
A wind iammer would have taken ten tunes aS
much space to say the same things thst Noionsi
dupont said, and then they would not have been
expressed so well.
The Delaware senator has had much expert
ence in war as we'll as in peace, and the true ana
brave soldier need not be told OF the horrors oi
war. Such soldiers are the ones who always
want to avoid war.
And the senator, therefore, in advocating the
building of the battleships was speaking as one
who opposed war and was desirous OF maintain
ing peace. -,
The senator, in his address, favored the build
ing of additional batteshps along the line sug-
gested by President Roosevelt, although ne did
not 90 so far as the President goes.
The fact is that however much we may oppose
war and wish for the reign OF universal peace the
war spirit has not departed from the world, and
until the nations bring about disarmament and
not conhne their protestations OF peace to words
and conferences, each nation, spurred on by
motives of self-interest and self-protection, Will
continue 10 equip itself and prepare for war. And
the very strength of such equipment and the
disaster that would accompany a struggle OF
great nations against each other, is undoubtedly
a potent force for peace, That is the practical
phase OF the question: however nuch we may ue-
plore the vast amounts of money that are divert
ed from peaceful industry as a result OF the mili-
tant spirit
Senator dupont urged another point in his
speech that is well worth considering. During
depressed industrial times, as the senator brings
out, the government can we'll afford TO
engage in the construction of battleships and
other necessary works in the hope that some Of
the distress of the citizens may be relieved.
1t is said that because the receipts of the gov
ernment have fallen off, the expenses should be
reduced. But if there were any reason to believe
that industrial conditions are to be permanently
bad, that is if we admit that in this great coun-
try Of ours, with all its resources we are not to
start to work again, then there might be some
legitimate excuse for this plea of economy But,
of course, such a suppositon would be contrary
to reason.
