BRIDGPORTER
 AGAIN IGNORED
Francis M. Buckley Reelected Principal
 of Ansonia High School.
DESERVED TRIBUTE

MT. Francis M. Buckley, son of MT. and Mrs. Daniel Buckley. of 162 Cot tase street. has received a. re-elec- ton from the Ansonia board of educa-
 ton to the superintendency of schools of that town. MT. Bucklsv is a grad uate of Holy Cross, 1906, and while in college was the editor of the monthly magazine, the Holy Cross Purple. He also proved a debater of ability and his scholarship was of a high standard. For year after graduation MT. Buck ley tught Greek and, English in the St. Aavier's high school, New York city. A year ago he took charge of the schools of Ansonia, and his good work and reelection has called forth the following editorial from the Ansonia Sentinel:
 "The close of the school year in Ansonia is marked by the reelection Of Superintendent F. M. Buckley to another year as official head of the schools. The vote of the school board was by exclamation and therefore is to be taken as a practical endorsement of ms administration. His reelection, moreover. was expected, and will bring satisfaction to parents and teachers throughout the city. He has given the schools an even-tempered quiet unassuming and yet effective admins tration, and the years work has gone on smoothly, without friction, and, we believe. with the usual degree of prog ress achieved. MT. Buckley came hers year ago without having had any actual experience as a school super 1ntendent, and for that reason the work must have been fraught with more than usual difficulties so far as he was concerned: but with tactful- ness on his part and with a corps of teachers that was accustomed in large measure to the school require ments of the city. and capable of car rying them out, the school routine has continued without interruption. Hav- ing had a year in which to study the schools, the children which attend them and the idiosyncrasies of the teachers who work with him, MT. Buckley should be in position to give the city even better service during the coming year than he has in the past"

Origin of Dog Days.

According to the generally accepted doctrine the dog days begin on July 3 and end on Aug. II, but there have been disputes as to every possible point about them. It was universally agreed that they were connected with the dog star, but which one7 The real dog star, Sirius, or Procyon, the Little Dog? Then there were disagree ments as to the particular astronomi- cal performance of the star that fixed the dog days; as to their number, which varied in different estimates be- tween thirty and fifty-four, and wheth- CT they were to be reokoned before, after or around the stars perform ances. The forty settled on precede the rising of Sirius with the sun. A be lief grew up that in these days dogs went mad, but terrestrial dogs have really nothing to do with it. The original belief was that the star and
 sun together brought intense heat and
 all sorts of plagues.-London Chronicle.

Retail Merchants Denonnce Mayor Tom L. Johnson

Cleveland, June 29.-The Cleveland Retail Merchants Board at largely attended meeting has denounced May or Tom L. Johnson as a menace to the city and bitterly scored him for a cir cular issued Saturday in which he at tackled merchants who are fighting the Schmidt three-cent fare franchise. Resolutions were adopted declaring that the Mayor had three times, over his signature, published a false state ment that the retail merchants on the Citizens committee are demanding that car riders pay five-cent fare, in- stead of three-cent fare.
 Regret was expressed that the city has a public servant who will use the izens whose honest interests he has sworn to serve."
 It was decided to ask all retail mer- chants in the city, whether members of the board or not, to join in the fight against Mayor Johnson and his trac- ton policies. Members agreed to abandon vacation trips in order to be in Cleveland Aug. 3, the date of the referendum election, in order to work at the polls.

Dover Iron Works
 Shut Down Indefinitely

Dover, N. J., June 29.-When a few orders now in hand have been filled, the Morris County Machine and Iron ,Company's works here will be shut down indefinitely, owing to slack bus iness conditions. Soon after the panic of 1907 the business of the concern fell off until within a. short time it was operating at a loss. By agreement with the employees, with the exception of one department, g. cut in wages was effected last February. but in spite of that the expenses of continuing busi- ness were greater than the income.
 The company was organized fifty years ago, when it succeeded to the busiress of the late Mahlon Ford. Previous panics had been successfully weathered by the concern, all men be- ing kept at work through the dull times of 1893 to 1896. It was the larg- est industry in Dover and employed hundreds of hands. Had the employees been willing to accept a further reduc- tion in wages the shutdown could have been avoided.

EVELYN FLAWS PET SNAKE
 FRIGHTENS HER NEIGHBORS

New York. June 2s.-A pet king snake, about nine feet long, belonging to Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, escaped from her apartment at 31 West Thirty third street yesterday and created some little excitement in the neighbor- hood.
 Dwellers in the building in the rear of the West Twenty-third street build ing saw g. snake of large proportions crawling down the rain spout and mo- tffed Police Headquarters. Police man John T. Carberry was sent to the house, and there found the jani- tor, John Maloney, holding the snake at bay with a clothes prop. Carberry and Maloney together managed to get the reptile back into tie basket in which Mrs. Thaw usually kept it.
 Mrs. Thaw was not at home when the snake escaped, but her maid was much excited for fear it would get away. She and the neighbors were greatly relieved when the snake was back in the basket and the lid fastened down

Cloth Dyed with cob.lt.

Cloth changes color with change of weather If it is dyed with chloride of cobalt In clear weather 1t is a blue, when a change is near 1t turns to violet and for rain to bright pink. The change Is due to moisture. and it can be produced by breathing upon the cloth. This property of cobalt salts has been applied to the construction of floral hygrometers. The petals of artificial flowers are tinted with cobalt salts and vary in color from blue to pink according to the weather. Their action is different from that of ba- rometer, which indicates change of pressure of the atmosphere and is also usually behind the change of weather. The barometer indicates the. cause of the storm, and the colored cloth shows its effect.

First White House
 Roof Garden Party

Washington, June 29-Presideni Taft last night gave the first roof gar den party in the history of the White House so far as is known. The heat of the last few days suggested the idea of dining outdoors, and the President arranged for an al fresco dinner on the top of the west wing of the Executive Mansion. All of the members of the Cabinet who are now in town, were invited, and number of members of Congress and Diplomatic Corps were among the guests.
 The roof of the wing was decorated with plants and vines, and the tables were spread in a bower of flowers. A section of the Marine Band played during the dinner, while a cool breeze from the southwest swept over the host and guests.
 |. No ladies were included among the pguests, the dinner being entirely a stag affair. The illness of MT. Taft pre- venetd such an arrangement

Clean spectacles.

Oculists will agree that many per sons who wear spectacles, although the lenses may be perfectly adapted to the needs of the eye, suffer much incon- venience and possibly ultimate dam- age simply through not keeping their glasses clean. Students and writers, lawyers and clergymen, business men and school children who use glasses rarely keep them clean, and from their cloudy and grimy state serious injury results to the eyesight. The glasses should be frequently cleaned with al- cohol, which is preferable to water, and either tissue paper or chamois leather is better than the usual hapd- kerchief.

 Duty on Hides. 'Log Rolling" so Demanded-lntimates That Compromise May be Made by Conference Committee.

Senator Bulkeley has sent to certain Connecticut men who had urged him to vote in favor of putting hides on the free list, a letter in which he states that the boot and shoe manufacturing g industry in Connecticut is small and ether industries large, and adds:
 "In securing the necessary support for the, adoption of the schedules to protect our Connecticut industries, it is necessary for us to reciprocate.''
 He also intimates that differences on hides and other features of the tariff bill Twill probably have to be com promised in the end''
 The petition to the Senate was signed mostly by Hartford and Bridgeport shoe dealers.
 Since making this reply to them. he has voted to retain the present duty of Is per cent. on hides, as did also Senator Brandegee.

Hospital Patient
 Coughs up Gold

New York, June 29.-Dr. R. P. Burke of Bellevue hospital took to that in stitution yesterday afternoon a man suffering from heart trouble and con- vulsions. He was Antonio Cornerole, 55 years old, of East Twenty-eight street. Dr. Leroy Smith admitted the patient, and while examining the man saw something bright in his mouth. Thinking Cornerole had loosened a gold tooth in his convulsions Dr. Smith opened the mans mouth and took out the object, which was a gold cuff but ton.
 That's my button,'' said Dr. Burke Before he could say more the man coughed out another button, the mate of the first one. The doctors opened the mans mouth and out came pr. Burke's watch charm.
 The only way Dr. Burke can account for the presence of his jewelry in the patients mouth is that he had them in his coat pocket, ard. in taking off the coat, he thinks they fell beside the man and that he got them in his mouth ac- cidentally. Cornerole will recover.
