sALMoN's IMPORTANCE AS FOOD

During the last few years canned salmon has been taking its place very rapidly among the important food supplies of the world. The expansion of the markets in the United States has been truly remarkable. Brokers taking the aggregate of the 1906 pack, in comparison with the amount of salmon remaining in first hands before the opening sales on the 1907 pack, show that 4,000,000 cases of canned salmon-virtually the entire 1906 pack-found ready market during the 12 months after it's pro- duction. Because of this increased domestic demand, the usual allotment of half a million cases to the markets of the United Kingdom was reduced to less than 100000 cases. leaving the British jobbers clamoring for stocks months before the new pack was available. In nine months time, the consumption of canned salmon in the United States amounted to vir- tually 3,000,000 cases. or concisely. g. 956,000 cases. and three months be- fore the 1907 pack arrived, jobbers were sending in orders for stock which could not be supplied. The cleanup of the 1907 pack was accom- plished with an equal facility only few months being necessary to mark the exhaustion of all grades of sal mon except one, which. being cheaper grade and not so largely in demand. was carried over In consid- erable quantities.
 This means that canned salmon has become of primary importance as food product. and taken its place with other universal foods, such as beef. pork, mutton and breadstuffs. Pack ed under the most sanitary conditions containing more nutritious qualities than any other staple food, and being sold at price easily within the reach of the most slender pocket books. it has gained worldwide fa-l vor that is we'll merited.-Daniel L. Pratt In Outing Magazine.

 Why are all the manufacturers of the state. if not all, a goodly number against Lilley? Men who as a rule do not mix in politics. No one can imagine John H. Whittemore of Nau- gatuck dabbling in politics unless there is some good cause. Wonder what MT Whittemore's good repub. lican friends in this city think of his action in protesting against the nomination of George l.. Lilley. They must be fully aware 1t is no personal gain that prompted him to join other manufacturers in the ef- fort to convince the delegates they were making the mistake of their lives. Perhaps it will come out be- fore election day.

It is the best thing that ever hap pened that Daniel Davenport is pre- dieting Lilley's success. Davenport will get a large number of democratic votes for Lilley--oh, lots and lots of them! Imagine any workingman in this state paying any attention to what this lawyer says. Davenport will be nice heavy load for Lilley
 to carry.

No matter whether you favor George Lilley or not, you cannot help admire how cleverly he has manned the machine and forced friends and foes to step right into line, even John P. Kellogg, who had to go to Wash ington to explain his connection with the boat builders, being out with the boys last night. But John didn't do any hurrahing, he crouched back in his seat and kept his hat pulled over his eyes so that it was almost out of the question to get good look at him. He didn't stick out his chest and look the crowd squarely In the face, like Ks~in Drury and others, who showed that their hearts were in the cause and that they were there because they wanted to be.

BARBOUR.

The parade last night was the cool est thing of the kind that ever took place in Waterbury. Not soul out side the machine politicians was even remotely connected with it. It was an early autumn frost and a pretty sharp one at that.
 Colonel Burpee, judge of the city court, was an imposing figure in the Lilley parade last night, but not much more so than all the other court officials. A. P. Hayes, prosecuting agent, Samuel Marsh, clerk of the su- perior court, w. M. Gillette, clerk of the district court, M F. Parkinson, court messenger, and few others who help take care of us when we misbehave.

POLITICAL POINTERS
Republicans Nsme Attorney '.
 J. Byrne For Probste CourL

The delegates to the republican probate convention met yesterday and nominated Attorney M. J.. Byrne as candidate for judge of pro bate. Eugene c. Adt nominated Mir Byrne in the course of which he paid high compliment to Mir Byrne and expressed the hope that when the result of the ballot Is announced on election day the republican nomi- nee will have the large number of votes to his credit. Judge Peasley presided at the meeting and Charles J. Doherty as clerk. There was no other aspirant for the place, so that MT Byrne had 1t all to himself. He was waited upon by committee consisting of Eugene c. Adt, F. A. Waters and E. P. Woodin and es- corted into the convention room where he thanked the delegates and accepted the nomination. Later MT Bryne entertained the delegates at The Elton.
 It looks at present as if Mayor Reilly of Meriden, will be the dem-' ocratic nominee for congress in the second district against Nehemiah Sperry, who has represented the dis trict in that body for the past IA years, who Is now In his sgd year and the oldest man In either branch of the national legislature. When Mir Sperry ran for congress two years ago he carried every town in the dis trict except one, Chatham. There is feeling, however, that the con- gressman has become too old for ac- tive service and that younger man should be chosen. New Haven, the largest place in the district, has elected delegates pledged to support Mayor Reilly and as he Is we'll known throughout the district, 1t is felt that if nominated he will stand a good chance of election.

Paris, April 27.-Although no au-
topsy was made on the body of Due
de Chaulnes, since DR.. Castex Ger
tilted that he died of embolism of the
heart, no doubt remains that the
death Of the young nobleman came
as the result of his ten years habit
OF taking several kinds of drugs,
especially morphine. DR.. Castex
says the Duke was warned several
weeks ago that only prompt cessa-
ton of the habit and prolonged quiet
would save his life. Never having
been subjected to any kind of control,
the Duke was morally unable to help
out his medical advisers by follow
ing their counsels.

DIES ON HIS HONEYMOON.
Due de Chaulnes Found Dead I'm His
Paris Hotel by His Bride.

Paris, April 25.-The Due de
Chaulnes, who in February was mar
ried to Miss Theodore Shonts,
daughter of Theodore P. Shonts,
president of the marlborough Metro
politan Railway Company of New
York, was found dead in bed in his
apartments at the Lanham, in the
Rue Boccador, yesterday.
The dead body of the Duke was
found by his wife. The death of
the young man was due to embol-
ism, the obstruction Of an artery.
The duchess entered her husband S
room, but found that she could not
awaken him. She quickly summoned
help. A doctor came in response to
her summons, and after an examina-
ton he pronounced the man dead.
