Thoughts for

We sleep, but the loom Of
life never stops, and the pattern
which was weaving when the
sun went down is weaving
when it comes up in the morn

We are not in this world
to do what we wish, but to be
willing to do that which it is
our duty to do. Gounoa.
1t is the every days hat
count. They must be made to

". g.. Cannek.
Soberly and with clear eyes
believe in your own time and
place. There is not. there
never has been, a better time
or a better place to live in.
Only with this belief can you
believe in hope. PHILIPS

We may make the best Of
life, or we may make the worst
of it, and it depends very much
upon ourselves whether we ex-
tract JOY or misery from it,

The darkest shadows Of life
are those which a man himself
makes when he stands in his
own light. Avebu,y.
Our life is short, but to ex-
pand that span to vast eternity
is virtue S work. = Shakespeare.
The hour that is gone |
cannot recall. but tomorrow |
will do better than yesterday;

Life is fruitful in the ratio in
which it is laid out in noble

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
 AT PARIS POSTPONED
On Account of the Sudden Death of
 Rutherford Stuyvesant.

Paris, July 4.-Rutherford Stuyves- ant, brother of Mrs. Henry White, wife of the American ambassador, died sud denly this afternoon He went for his customary morning walk in the Champs Elysees, but was overcome and assisted to a restaurant. He was just able to give his name and address when he tainted and was conveyed to his residence in a state of collapse. Physicians who were hastily summoned reported that he was suffering from an acute attack of angina pectorus and that his case was hopeless. He grad uaily sank and died within a few hours.
 In consequence of the death, the Fourth of July celebration which was to have been held at the American em- bassy tomorrow has been postponed.
 RutherforH Stuyvesant was 69 years of age. He had spent a large portion of his time abroad during late years. He was a director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was a member of many yacht and other clubs. He grad uated from Columbia college in the class of '63.

WILL SHORTLY REPORT
 A BILL TO THE HOUSE.
Public Utilities Special Committees Work Nearly Finished-LittIe LikeIi- hood of the Bill Passing Assembly.

Hartford, July 1.-The special com mittee on public utilities has its work nearly finished and will shortly report a bill to the house. This will bear lit tie resemblance to the bill reported by the 1907 commission and will have nothing to do with either the charter ing of public service corporations or the making of rates. It is expected to contain some amplifcation of the powers and increase in the member ship of the present railroad commits sion of this state and to provide that the new commission shall contain ali of the present railroad commission CTS.
 The understanding is that Repre- sentative Chandler of Rocky Hill, who was the leader in the insurgent move ment in the house when the public utilities bill was up before, has chang ed his mind somewhat on the proposi- tion, and favors the kind of bill de- scribed.
 There seems little Likelihood of even this bill passing the general assem- bly, for the feeling is growing that a measure framed under such conditions at time when the only anxiety is to get through with the sessions work and get away from Hartford could hardly be satisfactory to the majority of the house. Indeed, the sentiment in the house in favor of a public utili- ties oill is by no means strong these days. No very strong reasons why there should be one in this state were brought out at the hearings of the special committee. In some quarters it is believed that the house will turn down the bill of the special commit tee.
