The Elder Robert Fulton.

Robert Fulton was born at Little Britain, Lancaster county, Pa, Nov. IA, 1765. His biographers have called him "a self made man" and have made but brief reference to his par entage. It Is noteworthy that his fa- ther, the, senior Robert Fulton, in a failure to leave financial patrimony to his children has not been accorded the mention of other achievements, not slight in those primitive days. His an- cestors crossed from Scotland to Ire land prior to the time of Cromwell. From Kilkenny. Ireland. the Fulton family came to America before the year 1735. The senior Robert Fulton was among the prominent men of Lancaster his name having been on record upon all the town organizations which existed at that period. He was a founder of the Presbyterian church. the secretary of the Union Fire com pany and charter member of the Juliana library of Lancaster, the third library established in the American colonies.-Century.

"Pareeiina Out dc Pcople.~

Fishing, two boys strung their bte ratch on the same string. Passing q graveyard they entered the gate to divide tae catch, dropping two fish just as they went inside the cemetery.
 Passing. an aged negro heard the TWO boys: "T'll take this one, you that one; I this one. you that one; this one, you that one" etc.
 The negro listened in dismay and ran away as rapidly as his old legs could carry him. He met bis negro minister, who called:
 Deacon, why you run in such ter. sor?"
 Declare, parson, been down yon- der by de graveyard and over de fence heard de devil and de Lord parceling out de people atween 'em."
 The parson laughed at the old mans fright and made him go back with him to the graveyard to convince him of his error.
 The boys were still dividing-"You take that, I take this" etc. Finally one boy asked. What you going to do with them two at the gate?"
 This was more than parson or dea- con could stand. and both ran pellmell. neither wishing to take any further chances, no matter what was going on just over the fence.-Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

The EourmiIion.

"In the Sahara" said an explorer, "there Is little insect that throws sand, and its volleys slay. They call 1t the fourmilion The fourmilion digs itself a funnel shaped hole of the cir conference of silver dollar. It lies hidden and watchful in the bottom of this hole, and when spider or ant or beetle comes cautiously prospecting down the steep and slippery sides the inhospitable fourmilion launches upon Its guest volley after volley of sand-a hail of stinging sand so abundant, so suffocating, so binding that the visiter loses his head. He rolls unconscious for the nonce to the bottom of the hole, and the fourmilion calmly dis members him before he has time to come to himself again and puts him in the larder for the next meal.s

HIooms hut to Die.

The taliput palm Corypha umbracu- lifera) of Ceylon, whose leaves are put to such numerous uses by the Cinga- lese. bears fruit but once during its life. This elegant tree measures about ten feet round the trunk and attains a height of about 1S0 feet. The flowers, the appearance of which rresages death 10 the tree, are inclosed in tall spathe which bursts with a loud re- port. disclosing a huge plume of beau tiful blossom. The infiorescence is sue ceeded by equally conspicuous punches of fruit. When these have ripened the tree withers rapidly and in the course of a fortnight may be seen prostrate and decaying on the spot it adorned.

THE POLITICAL ROW.
Roosevelt in the Thick of the Fight
 With His Coat Off.

New York, Sept 2S.-Wlth Mir Bryan denouncing Roosevelt. MT Taft hotly assailing Senator Foraker in response to the senator's attack on Friday, and Herman Ridder of this city being named as treasurer of the democratic national committee In succession to Governor Charles N Haskell, resigned. developments in the camps of both the great parties were interesting.
 MT Bryan, In his letter to Presi- dent Roosevelt, denounced what he called partisan" attack, and ex- pressed resentment at the executives imputation that Mir Bryan Is nsin- cere in his attitude toward the trusts. He declared that Governor Haskell had been lndorsed by the people of Oklahoma in spite of Mir Roosevelt's administration. Mir Bryan sarcas- tically attacked the republican man agers stand on the publication of campaign contributions. and Iaid that If MT Taft is to follow in Mir Roosevelt's footsteps. T dare com- pare my conception of the presiden. cy with his"
 He calls the presidents attention to the fact that J. Pierpont Morgan two years ago contributed $20,000 to Governor Hughes's campaign fund, John D. Rockefeller, $5.000; Andrew Carnegie, 5000; Charles M. Schwab, $2,000; John w. Gates, $2,- 900, and w. k. Corey $2,00O, and in- inmates that this may have tempered Governor Hughes's criticism of the democratic party's trust plank, which the president quotes in his letter.
 MT Bryan tells President Roose- welt that he did not make good his charges against Treasurer Haskell, and declares that the president, for q partisan purpose, rushed in and con victed Haskell on ex-parte state ments. He, however, does not de- fend Haskell, though he says Haskell is now free to prosecute those who have brought charges against him.
 Judge Taft in his censure of Sen ator Foraker denies that he had ac- cepted favors from officers of the glass trust or the Standard Oil Co in travelling in Ohio, and explained his recommendation of Judge Doyle, Standard oil attorney, to President Roosevelt for supreme court ap- pointment.

Roosevelt Makes Reply.

Washington, Sept 2S.-President Roosevelt has made reply to w. J. Bryan's recent speech in which he maintained that the democratic party and platform were not getting a square deal' in the campaign tha: the presidents professions of fair treatment entitled them to- Mr Roosevelt's reply deals particularly with MT Bryan's assertion that the administration has been neither sin cere nor effective in the prosecutions of trusts. MT Roosevelt combats thls charge with characteristic emphasis and sets forth in detail what has been done under his direction toward curbing the tendency of capital to centralize with view to destroying competition.

dls Own Pconia.

The negro blood wherever 1t is, de. clares Ray Stannard Baker in Ameri- can Magazine, supplies an element of light heartedness which will not be wholly crushed. In illustration he tells this story of very light mulatto of Tennessee:
 A number of years ago 1t came to him suddenly one day that he was white enough to pass anywhere for white, and he acted instantly on the inspiration. He went to Memphis and bought first class ticket on a Missis- sippi river boat to Cincinnati No one suspected that he was colored. He sat at the table with white people and even occupied a stateroom with white man. At first, he said, he could hardly restrain his exultation. but after a time, although he associated with the white men, he began to be lonesome.
 Tt grew colder and colder" he said.
 In the evening he sat on the upper deck, and as he looked over the railing he could see down below the negro passengers and deck hands talking and laughing. After time when it grew darker they began to sing the inimita- ble negro songs.
 "That finished me-" he said. q got up and went downstairs and took my place among them. I've been a negro eyer since'

He Miqht Have Married.

Fitz-Greene Halleck never married, yet, as Mir. Howe reminds US in his American Bookman. he could not have been without attractions. for certain superior lady is reported to have de- clared:
 If were on my way to church to be married, yes, even if I were walk ing up the aisle. and Halleck were to offer himself, I'd leave the man I had promised to marry and take him."
 To this perhaps should be joined his epigram. written for a young lady who had asked for his autograph:
 There wanted but this drop to fill
 The wifeless poets cup of fame.
 Hurrah. There lives lady still
 Willing to take his name.

WATER.

The attention of the public is call ed to the fact that owing to the ex- tended period of dry weather 1t is necessary to be as saving as possible with the city water.
 On and after this date, and until further notice, the use of hose for street, sidewalk or garden sprinkling is strictly prohibited at all hours.
 All leaking fixtures must be repair ed at once and all unnecessary waste of water stopped.
 These precautions are absolutely necessary and the department will see that they are strictly enforced.

CITY NEWS.

William Winslow, aged 5b years, died to-day at the Waterbury hospi- tai.
 The owner of small silver purse | containing two bits of money can obtain same by calling at the Demo- crat office. It was picked up on {! Cooke street Sunday by small boy.A
 The republicans will hold a rally in City hall tonight. The Taft Marching club will be out and the speakers will be the Hon Michael Kenealy, Hon [. J. Hill, Hon J. Q Tilson and probably one or two los cal luminaries.
 Guy F. Miller, socialist, will ad- dress socialists and others who care 10 listen to him at the junction of 1 Bank and Grand streets tomorrow evening. his subject will be How i to Obtain Living the greatest po- litical question of the day.
 Superintendent Kennedy of the ] water works has called attention 10 , the need of being sparing of the water, for the present, but perhaps if the rain which set in this after noon should continue for few days, , we'll have water in abundance from now on. In any case, all should read what MT Kennedy has to say on the matter in this issue of the Democrat.
 The Catholic Women's association will meet this evening, and those who have given in their names for class work are requested to be pres ent. All the classes and class work will be arranged this evening, so that the work can be commenced at once. Those who have not yeH registered can do so this evening, by applying to the superintendent, or to any of the teachers.
 Fred Blodgett and William Hayes, the two young men arraigned in the police court the other day on charge of abusing horse belonging to Liveryman Curtiss, were taken in- charge, breach of the peace, and held under bonds of $2,000. SuperintenG- ent Beach refused to talk about the matter, but judging by his conduct and that of the other police officers, there is likelihood of the charge be- ing changed to something even more serious than breach of the peace.
 The street department is pushing the sidewalk business and after a couple of weeks more will have completed the laying of nearly four miles of new walks and curb, more than has been put down here in the past 10 years. The work is good, too, and costs considerably less thar ever before. Contractors refuse to believe that the walks laid by the city cost only about dollar a run ming foot, but that is so just the same. A walk and curb in front of a 50-foot lot will not cost the property owner over $25, the other half being paid by the public This is good evidence notwithstanding all one hears to the contrary, that it would pay the people to do their own work instead of letting it out by contract. The city can make better road for $1.50 yard than it gets from contractors for almost twice that. but the prejudice in cer tain quarters against day work is so strong that it will require years of constant intelligent agitation to bat ter it down. To be sure this con- tention does not apply to such pro- jects as building new reservoirs or handling a sewage disposal plant.
