be brought to an agreement restrict ing their armament solely because of rapidly growing mutual distrust. This, as just said may not mean war. but it does mean that the great na- tions of Europe will be compelled to keep up their costly armaments and oppressive forms of taxation at time when the people of Europe are groaning under these burdens and seeking relief. Perhaps the time is coming when the mere cost of war will prove its greatest proven tion. Certainly Americans can con- gratulate themselves upon their inn munity from such costly protection against jealous neighbors.

The Mine Tailor Saw.

The tailor-he was cutter at big salary-sighed as he looked about his luxurious apartment.
 "She refused me-" he said. "why? ]? Because she didn't love me? No. Be. cause of that old saw about It's talk ing nine tailors to make man. And that saw is a mistake. It Is a cor ruption of nine tellers mark a man. It doesn't signify that tailors are ef- feminate. It simply shows that man. kind is liable to error. The toll of a bell in the olden time was called a teller, and in the olden time the church bells toiled nine times for every mans funeral: hence the saying nine tellers mark a man. In our stupidity we have corrupted that into nine tailors make a man or 1t takes nine tailors to make man." s
 The cutter sighed.
 This rank error," he said, "dooms me to bachelorhood. Orleans Times-Democrat.

There was gloom and sorrow in every household to-day when the an- nouncement was made that Mon- signor William J. Slocum was called to his eternal reward. The news of his death was sent from street to street, and house to house, just as the sun was rising in the eastern horizon, and on every hand could be heard the expressions of sorrow and the kind words for the good, kind, generous, dignified and gentlemanly, at all times, Monsignor Slocum He was beloved by all who knew him, not only for his kindness of heart, but for his broadness of mind and scholarly attributes. He was a will ing worker in the vineyard, as the monuments he has builded attest. Always working for the interests of his people, he had endeared himself to them as, perhaps, no other pastor ever had, thus his death comes as a shock, for although sick and unable to attend to his duties for long time, his people hoped and prayed that he would regain his health and live to see the work he had begun completed. Since coming to this city he has been power in the communi- ty, being looked up to by all classes and creeds as man of sterling char acter and ability. A man whose ad- vice was sought often, and whose services were in demand at all func- tions, religious and civic. It was trying to do what he considered his duty in this respect that he over taxed his strength and no doubt inn paired his health. No complaint was coming from Monsignor Slocum, how ever. He worked while he had strength and energy. and one of the saddest things in connection with his death is that he could not have lived to see completed the greatest work of his life, the building of the new hospital, the Slocum hospital, it might be called, for he gave all the thought, time and strength of his last days to 1t. Monsignor slocum has gone to his rest, but his good | work, his kindness of heart and his broad charity will live in the hearts of his people forever.

New Britain was the pioneer city of Connecticut to build and operate a municipal subway and is to-day the only city in the state which con- tinues to operate one.-New Britain Herald.
 Waterbury has no subway because republican legislature and that lobby Candidate Lilley speaks about refused to allow this city to say what it will do with its own streets
 Congressman Lilley is on the right track, If he can knock out the lob by. But he has a big job on his hands, and it Is as Judge Robert son says, the democrats must first knock out Lilley and his friends of the g. O. p. before the lobby can be squelched. Waterbury has suffered more than once through the inter- ference of the lobby and 1t will con- tinue to suffer until democrats get control of the big building in Bush- nell park, Hartford. Congressman Lilley's talk about the lobby, when he is backed by the third house" looks like play to the grand stand.

HEARD IN PASSING.

Just think of Middlesex county planking highway bridge, painting 1t and maintaining it for the benefit of the public! Ridiculous, compared to maintaining the political blanks in the past that have worn to a mere splinter and still hold up the salary idea of political existence. Middle town Press.
 The suspicion that the New York managers care more about electine Chanler governor than they do about pushing Bryan into the presidency is gaining ground every day. And all signs point to Hughes being defeat. ed. There may be revulsion of sen- timent in the next ten days, but as things stand now Chanler appears to be in the lead.
 Connecticut's state campaign seems to be distinct and separate thing from the national campaign It is being conducted on different lines, in behalf of different policies and with widely varying sentiments Whether viewed from the standpoint or one party or of another, this is a year when state and national cam. paigns, so' far as Connecticut is con cerned, refuse to mix.-Ansonia Sen tinel.

Already the great powers are re- aliging-Great Britain, France and
 Russia on one side, Germany. Aus tria and possibly Italy on the other. AS events progress the confusion of issues are the growing rivalry be- tween Great Britain and Germany become more and more pronounced and threaten to be among the chief difficulties in shaping new agree ment says Banker Clews. No one can possibly see any present chance of a struggle between Great Britain and Germany: yet the conflict of in- terests between these great nations become more acute each year; and it is not without special significance that each is watching the others na- val progress with exceptional close ness, that Germany IS outmatching England in the building of Dread naughts aud that neither could now

Suicidal FIyinu Fish.

The Indian ocean is singularly de. void of fish and bird life, but one night dozens of flying fish flew on board a vessel there. They were attracted by the lantern on the foremast, against which they dashed and fell stunned to the deck. In appearance they are very like sand mullet. The wings resem- ble an extended dorsal fin and open and shut like lady's fan. Not only are they edible; they are dish for ar epicure.-Sydney (N. s. WI Freeman's Journal.

 Lilley is elected. Both papers. ai- though the editors claim to be dem ocrats, are for Taft for president. Editor Osborne would probably stop iambasting Lilley If he thought 1t was necessary to insure Taft's cleo tion. The Times blows a little hot and cold on the governorship ques- tIon, but is also against Bryan to the last ditch. If both Bryan and Lil- ley should happen to be elected there would be weeping and wailing in both offices sure enough. Stranger things have happened dear editors. so be prepared for the worst"

A pamphlet, printed in English, issued by a Japanese company, de- scribes the use and importance of volcanic ash in combination with Portland cement, especially for construction work in salt water. The advantages claimed for this volcanic ash are that in combination with Portland cement 1t gives a greater tensile strength than cement mortar alone. It Is also claimed that the mortar is denser than cement nor tar, and does not permit the perco. lation of water, thus obviating the injurious action of sea-water salts. This density gives it superior quail ity for construction of water reser- voirs and reenforced concrete for the protection of iron from oxidation. Should tho correctness of the Japan csc company claims be proved by trial, it is highly probable that the enormous volcanic resources of the Philippines will provide for a new and profitable industry.
