MICHAEL soNNENBERe.

Again is this community startled by
the announcement of the death Of one
OF its solid and stable citizens. Michael
sonnenberg had been so long and so
conspicuously connected with the busl-
ness and other life of New Haven that
he seemed part of the place, as In
deed he was. II Is hard to realize that
he will be seen no more In our streets
and in our assemblies He was a man
of large business ability. safe, prudent
and successful. He was a good citizen,
interested In all that concerned the
public welfare, and especially interest
ed In all that concerned the life Of New
Haven. He vas sound and shrewd In
his thinking, formed his own opinions
and was a good judge OF men and
things. He was good -natured and
kind. faithful and reliable, and consd-
erately just to those In his employ.
During his long career here he set nm
example OF uprishtness. diligence in
business and general good citizenship
which won for him the respect and en-
titles him to the remembrance Of his
fellow citizens.

THE Down TURN IN JArAN.

Japan has had her boom, and she
Is now having the other thing The
depression there Is serious. BY the
Toxic authorities II is attributed to
the panic In tho United States, which
caused the withdrawal and export Of
a large amount of gold from the
banks of Japan, resulting in a string
ency that was greatly increased BY
the depreciation Of silver In china.
and the consequent locking up OF vast
quantities Of silk and cotton IN Japan.
Manufacturers in these lines nave

with only the greatest difficulty that
they can gather sufficient means to
keep their establishments running At
the present moment there is nj least
50.000,O00 yen worth Of silk await
ing disposition AZ Yokohama alone,
and probably cotton to almost an
equal extent other ports being pro-
portionately affected, according TO
their importance. The cotton trade
with China, which Ia Japan's argest
customer. Is almost al standstill The
abnormal amount Of wild business
speculation that began in 1906 and
continued through most Of last 9ear IL
also credited with contributing TO the
present unfavorable conditions.
The boycott which the Chinese have
Instituted against japanese business
won't help matters any But by and
by Japan will be booming along Just
as the United States will. What a
queer thing 1t is that nations rannot

least her Amcrlcanism was barely

not the real thing, except perhaps In

In other words, events have made II
reasonably clear that In considering
tho American girl as type those
must be eliminated from the classIf-
cation who either yearn for foreign
title, or seize one, The real American
girl will continue TO be that vivaclous
level headed, Independent and lovahle
creature, who reverences the flag with
unaffected enthusiasm, who stands by
the side Of the American man while
he Is AT his work, who makes the
American home the most hospitable
place on earth and who Is ever con-
cerned with the self imposed task OF
making her life all that can be made
of II. She Is found In every American
city and town, and she would as soon
think of giving up her democratic
rights as her brother would think OF

his head, The real attractive Ameri-
can girl is the girl behind the Ameri-
can constitution. She Is substantial:
the other is the counterfeit. All hail

The President has been abundantly

the right ground; that where separate

4 HEARTY INVITATION,

" young man doesn't want 20 SO
West he can go South, Tho State of
Louisiana is giving him a very hearty
invitation There are $1,000, 900 acres
of arabic lapd In the state and only
100000 o. these acres are under cul-
tivation. The secretary OF the beard
OF immigration of the state has issued
an address to would-be settlers, In
forming them that Louisiana planters
with large tracts of land stand ready
and willing to aid every man who Is
willing to help himself and sell farms
on ten years credit This invitation
is supplemented by the state board of
immigration with the statement that
they are now trying to cause immlgra-
ton to'the State by securing men who
are willing to farm on shares, The
further promise is made that houses
are provided for families who go. We
furnish each family with horse or
mule, seed to plant crops. and ground
and garden trucking implements"
No state could say faircr than that
We should think II might tempt many
TO make an effort TO better their on
dltion. Life on a Louisiana farm
might have It's drawbacks, but 1t
would have great advantages over
some other kinds of living

enterprises, but the Mcthodists ex-
eeeded them all. Which moves the

meet in the historic home city Of the

that the Baltimore Methodists have

growth Of their denomination SO won
