CONDEMNS TARIFF LAW
JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER SAYS IT DECEIvES AND PEOPLE
 WILL WIPE IT OUT.

WILL WIPE IT OUT.
 New Yrk, Aug. 6.-Ex-Judge Alton B. Parker, who was the Democratic candidate for President in 1904, made this statement vest erday on the new tariff bill:
 ''The opinion widely entertained and expressed on the campaign of 1900 that the Republican platforms promise of a revision of the tariff was intended to deceive the people is now fully jus tifed
 By bold and impudent speech Sen atorS and members of Congress have asserted that the plank promised a re- vision, not a reduction of tariff duties. Their only reward is public contempt, for their arguments demonstrate that the purpose of the tariff plank was to cheat and defraud the voters. At the same time the action of the ma Jority in Congress makes them parties to the fraud in that they sought to consummate it.
 "The President has made a strong effort to secure at least an appearance of party honesty, but the little he has accomplished has been at great cost, for one more precedent is created of an executive using his great power to coerce a coordinate and independent department of Government, in viola ton of the spirit of the Constitution.
 And after all, what shall this un- seemly struggle to gain or retain lar end? Only a lfttle-for it will be found that this tariff act does not like it's predecessors close the subject for a period of years but, instead, it and the circumstances surrounding its making will but serve to open again the fight. The final outcome will wipe out the unjust results, if not the stain, of the fraud"

 Bath Houses Demolished
 In accordance with their threat that unless the bathing houses on Compo beach were removed, they would be demolished, the Westport selectmen got busy Monday evening. About g o'clock a special carload of men ar rived at the beach and immediately set to work armed with axes. Not a vestige of the buildings remains ex- cept a pile of rubbish. Nor did they spare the contents of the houses. Chairs, looking glasses, clothing. bed ding. bathing suits and other little accessories were strewn upon the beach. That some legal action will re- suit, there is no doubt, for several who had valuable bothing houses there, are resolved that Westport will hear from it's course.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
 TRIES TO COMMIT
 STTICTDE FOIrP r,

N New Haven, Aug. 6.-Brooding over poor business conditions until he be- a veteran of the Civil war, 6S years old, who with his son-in-law, George Geer, conducts a small stand near Cox's hotel, at NSavin Rock, tried four times last night to commit suicide by throwing himself in front of fast nov ing trolley cars. That he was not sue cessful is due to the cool quick work on the part of the motormen in charge of the cars in front of which he threw himself, but that he escaped without a scratch is miraculous.
 Three times he threw himself in front of the cars but each time they were brought to a stop before hitting him. The fourth and last time he was almost successful, being saved only by the quick dropping of the fender which picked him up unhurt. He was taken in charge by Officer Burns, who held him until his son-in-law came and took him to his home at 204 Noble street.

When l made up my mind to back

deep embedded, combined to make me

ourselves with our bridges burned,
standing with yellow dog in front Of
a weather-beaten hut 100 miles from
Wall street. 1t was so early that /

my thin shoes. / looked at the dilap-
idated house and wondered at my
temerity. Then the two fellows who
are always squabbling in ones sub
consciousness, began their debate.

THE POSSIBILITIES OF RICE
Numerous Ways In Which II May Be

While you are wondering, just as
every housewife does these days,
what in the world you are going to
cook next that will be both appetizing
and inexpensive, do you ever think
81 rice-plain rice?
There are SO many ways one can
use cold boiled rice. A favorite dish
with the Italian housewife, and one
that is we'll worth trying. for 1t is
both economically and easily pre-
pared, is called risotto. Cover the
bottom Of well-buttered bake dish
with finely chopped onion and put
over 1t a thick layer of the cooked
rice, then layer of pimento, or sweet
spanish pepper, cut small. Then an
other layer Of rice and a sprinkling
OF chopped onion. Cover with milk
and bake slowly for an hour. Take
out of the oven and sprinkle over the
top half pound of grated cheese; bake
for Is minutes more, or until brown.
Then serve.
Cold rice beaten with olive oil,
lemon Juice and cayenne pepper to
taste, garnished with chopped parsley
and served on crisp lettuce leaves, is
an appetizing salad.
Grandmother would take a half tea
cupful uncooked rice, one egg, a
dash of nutmeg, cupful of sugar and
beat them together in an earthen
bake dish until the mixture fairly
foamed. Then she would add three
pints of fresh milk, put in moderate
oven and bake slowly for two hours,
stirring frequently. Serve cold.
