TWO RoBERTscNs.

There were two matters of great in- tereat to residents of the Nutmeg state in connection with the great Wander bilt cup race Satuday In the first place, every true American feels con siderable pride in view of the fact that the winner was an American driving | an American car. There have been those who have been predicting for years that the time would surely come when the American-built automobiles would oust the foreign-made machines
 from the prominent position they have held in the forefront Of acknowledged
 perfection.
 Those who have said this have not
 been without good foundation for their
 conclusions The last few years have
 seen America jump 10 the front In
 many branches of the mechanical
 world American rifles, American en-
 zines, boats, bicycles and hundreds of
 other mechanical manufactures made
 in this country are today accepted as
 standard the world over It has not
 been too much, then, to expect that
 America would win out ultimately in the automobile world. The signal sue
 cess at the Motor Parkway on Long Island on Saturday, when the Ameri- can car fought to conclusion as ex-
 citing and as game a race as has ever
 been held on tires, sienally defeating an Italian car. which with other for eign makes has heretofore been accord ed considerable reputation at the ex-
 pense of American products, may be taken to mark the beginning of a great 9 automobile supremacy in America ' But the winning ear of Saturday wa 2 not only American made; 1t hailed from . our own Connecticut It was with n' g more than just and deserved pride tha

nored such stories as 1t has heard and ! has confined itself literally to the con sideratIon of Mr I.illey as a public man, It happens to know too that this has been the craditable attitude of the anti ti.Lliey republicans alluded to. It such stories are In circulation, they have been circulated by others un- known to the anti-Lilley movement We venture even to say, and it is cer- tainly true of this newspaper that such stories are not to be believed un- less accompanied by the proof and that that should be the attitude of those to whom they are told.
 The objections to Mir, Lilley's can ddacy are known to all, They have been stated and restated with clearness and with regard for truthful and sober utterance These objections which establish Mir. Lilleys temperamental unhtness for high political office, have
 been ignored by his supporters, or have been SO treated as to deliberately
 ignore the essential charges and as-
 sertions For example MT, Lilley and
 his supporters have been asked to dis
 cuss, regardless of the findings of the
 committee the fact that he was con- ! tinually inaccurate in statement under
 oath He has been asked to explain
 the forged letters and, if they were
 forged, as he says, by hts secretary,
 whether that secretary is still in his
 employ. He has been asked to explain
 his extraordinary conversation with
 MT. sherman, in which he offered tc
 retire from the field of corruption
 hunting if he could revive submarine
 boat competition. He has been askeC to explain the extraordinary manner il
 which he handled the private core
 spondencc of President Roosevelt, etc

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
There Are No Governmental Ideals Apart from the lnd- WduaI, Upon Whom All the Responsibility
 Lies at the Polls.

There is no such thing national power, experl- ence ideals apart from the individual and the individual can no escape making his impress upon the na- tions life than he avoid shaping his own character Hence 1t follows that there rests upon each citizen direct responsibility for the well being of the nation and for what this invoves-the maintenance of it's deals, Ths is so whatever the form of government; but espe cally it when in the United States, govern ment is based squarely on the proposition that the people shall rule-President Garfield Williams College.

She was fully and richly dressed. No
clue has yet been found to the man
ner OF her death. nor has the cause
been discovered
The neighborhood OF Ellery Ter
race is one Of the poorest In town. and
Mrs. Stahl with her expensive clothes
attracted a great deal OF attention
when she appeared here late last
evening.
So striking was her appearance that
when she turned of into a dark street
several persons followed her. These
we're unable to say what had become
of her and could offer no explanation
of her movements between that time
and the discovery OF her body In the
doorway. She wore picture hat and
fur coat worth fully $500.
A resident Of the building found the
body lying across the doorway and
summoned a policeman. He notified
the morgue and the body was remov-
ed there. Several hours delay ensued
before her father, John Harmon. posi-
lively identified the body as that Of
his daughter.
Mr.. Harmon did not think that Mrs.
Sfahl had committed suicide. though
he said she had never been the same
happy woman since the death Of her

LOCAL JEWELLERS
TURNED DOWN FOR
NEW YORK FIRM
CONTRACT FOR SILVER SERVICE
FOR 6ATTLESHiP MICHIGAN
AWARDED TIFFANY & CO. AT
HIGHER PRICE THAN DETROIT
ERS BID.

A magnificent silver service Is to be
given the battleship Michigan by the
state, but 1t will go with the ieft-hand-
ed blessing of the jewellers and silver
smiths OF the state.
There Is a very pronounced feeling
OF soreness coming to the surface
since the meeting of the state battle
ship service commission in the Pont-
chartrain last week. Four Detroit
Arms were bidders for the silver serv-
ice, and all were turned down to give
the contract to Tiffany & Co.. of New
York, at higher figure. This Is the
side Of the jewelers..
The commissioners say that they
choseo the most artistic design.
1t was only after two days and two
long evenings of discussion that the
Tiffany design was chosen. AT one
time an effort was made TO get Gov.
Warner to settle the dispute, but ne
could not be had. Thereupon 1t was
necessary to summon the ninth mem
Der OF the commission from Saginaw
to break deadlock.
When eight members OF the COM
mission met, they found thai designs
had been submitted by John Kay &c
Co. Traub Bros, w. A Sturgeon az
Co. and Charles Warren & Co, repre-
senting the Whiting Manufacturing
Co, Dominick & Han, The Gorham
Silver Co, and Reed & Barton. respec-
lively. Each of the local firms was
anxious to get the contract as IL
would rebound to their credit. The
TIFFANY Co. alone was unrepresented
by o local firm.
One of the competing firms was 50
anxious to get the contract that IL
offered a $4,000 service Tor So'ooo'
explaining that thep restige OF the
sale would be worth thed inference.
The commissioners soon got into =
tangle over the designs. Prof A. n.
Grifflth. Of the Museum OF Art, ana
Charles L. Freer, the local connoiseur
in art matters. were called into con
sultation bit they did not settle the
question.
Finally. with the vote four to four,
the effort was made to get Gov. war
uer. Failing him, w. G. Phipps was
sent for from Saginaw and his vote
decided the matter sometime along
in the wee hours of the morning.

.HENEY SPENDS
A GOOD NIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Francis
j. Heney is still making excellent
progress towards recovery from the
bullet wound inflicted in Judge Law
lor', court room on Friday by Morris
Haas. He passed comfortable night,
sleeping most of the time, and rested
easily today.
The suicide OF Morris Haas. the ex-
convict. who shot Heney, and later
killed himself In Jail, is the subject
Iof much discussion today. and the po-
lice are trying to find how he was
able to conceal the pistol.
The attempt TO kill Heney has had
the effect of rekingling civic pride AMI
overcoming criticism of the prosecu
ton of the bribery graft cases. and
has evoked determination TO support
the district attorney in the prosecu-
ton to a conclusion of all persons
charged with debauching the public
service.

RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT
SWELL DRESSER

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 16.--M.
Isvolski, Russian minister Of foreign
affairs, and personal friend OF both
the car and the Dowager Empress
Marie, is considered the most fastid-
ious dresser among European diplo-
mats. He is quite tall and well pro.
portioned, having broad shoulders and
a pleasant face. His manners are
charming and though admitting that
"he Is In the fifties" he would easily
pass for a man of forty.
He gets all his clothes from Brit
ish tailor who has shop In Berlin.
Even In the shrillest piping times of
Balkan war talk Isvolski refused to
neglect his clothes. The other day a
Russian high official, calling on bus
mess during ONCE hours, was obliged
10 wait for his excellency three-quar-
tiers of an hour. When Isvolski final
ly received him In his private Office
he was profuse in apologies.

get a courier ready for Berlin who
had to catch the noon train"
"Neglectful fellow" said the visitor,
"he left part of his dispatches be-
hind,
And the visitor pointed to an arm
chair over the back of which hung a
new pair OF trousers. Isvolski had
