It had been noticed during the fall that several of the Connecticut papers have printed "Deer" stories in their columns. The articles published were however, very interesting and it appears to many that the law should be taken off from the animals 1u short time, possibly 1910. But getting down to the point, since so many writers are think ing of "deer'' it seems evident that some )f them must be affected by heart trou- ole.

Connecticut western news., 1909-12-09

In last weeks reports from France the announcement was made of the guillotining of a French murderer, the act being committed by mob. From such reports it does not appear as if France were trying to make any great progress in the world but is resuming the customs of olden times when it was common to see the ''Knitters" sit around the guillotines and count the number of times the bloody knife would fall and sever head during the day. It hardly seems possible that the French gover- ment would allow the guillotine in the civilized world of to-day. but if, as stated, the city troops could not suppress the mob, it wouldn't be a bad idea for France to strengthen her army. It is not considered, however, that the troops could not have driven off the mob by force, if they had so desired, but it was a case of not wanting any more blood shed than that of the one who was to be guilIotined But, would it not have been better to drive back the mob by force, thus saving the country and city from disgrace?

Since the arrival of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the professed discoverer of the North Pole. to the United States he has been the victim of many mounds" who apparently do not believe he ever reached the Pole. These "knockers," so to speak, evidently are Peary packers and are a least bit sour because Cook first reported the discovery. Although Peary and many of his friends have stated their belief that Dr. Cook never reached the North Pole, why is it then that plots were made to steal Dr. Cooks records, as has been reported since the announce mcnt was made of Dr Cooks documents being sent to Copenhagen? If he had never reached his destination why would anybody care to seize the records: It would not be surprising, however, if the doctor fed his purSuers facts, good and plenty before he departs for the other world.

been a painful reminder of the Reign

,ermine the French government TO

lBx Associated Prsss.l

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Insufficient
power was responsible for the misbe-
havior of the Wright aeroplane today
at Fort Myer.
The first flight attempted by Orville
Wright resulted in slight damage to
the machine and ended the expert
ments for the day.
The fight lasted about thirty seconds.
Mr.. Wright said the aeroplane would be
ready for another trial tomorrow, and
that more power will be used.
The aeroplane glided down the start
ing rail at GAS and flew at a height of
about fifteen feet for the length of the
drill grounds. 1t was evident it was
work ing much better than yesterday
As he neared the southern end of the
field Orville lowered the left wing and
raised the right one. The machine be-
gan to make the turn gracefully, but it
had gone around only a few feet when
it seemed to lose equilibrium. When a
little more than half way around, the
left wing struck the earth and brought
the machine to the ground with con-
siderable force.
on examination it was found the
right skid was broken near the for
ward end and that a few wires had
been jerked loose.
The machine was returned to the
aeroplane she'd Orville Wright eX-
planned that the motor did not seem TO
be generating enough power to take
the machine around the turn. He
thought the damage could be repaired
easily and in time to enable him to
attempt a flight tomorrow afternoon.
Among the spectators were q number
of senators, who neglected the tariff
deliberations to be present.

PARIS. June 3O.-The Figaro today
publishes an account of a converse
ton which toSk place recently at Kiel
between Emperor William and Baron
D. Estournelles dc Constant president
of the French parliamentary arbitra-
ton group. In this talk the emperor
insisted that his policy was one of
peace and said that the battle of the
future would be in the economic in
dustriaI and political fields. Great
Britain. the emperor said, was now
traversing a period of acute nervous
ness. but he predicted this would dis
appear when the country realized It
could regain its lost economic ground,
not by a destructive war; but by an
increase in its productive activity.
Emperor William showed great in
terest in the French experiments in
aviation, but said he believed that for
the present dirigible balloons had in
contestahle fdvantages over aero
planes.
