BENEDICT IS
 ROAD REFORMER
Greenwich Millionaire De clares Roads of His Town
 to Be Worst In World.
HASN'T SEEN BRIDGEPORT

E. c. Benedict, recently home from a tour in foreign parts, is viewing with alarm, not unmingled with indig- nation, the public highways of the town of Greenwich. and he has quail fled for membership in the Road Re formers Association.
 Greenwich" declares MT. Benedict, ''has, quite generally established itself in the public mind throughout our country as having the worst roads within the civilized limits of any DOT tiOn thereof. The press of New York city has lately added it's influence in extending it's bad reputation, and mo- torists who are forced to pass through our town are unanimous in diSSemi- hating it.
 T recently motorec 2,50o miles in northern Italy, France and England, and I regret to say that the wrost length which I there traversed were as good, if not better, than the best stretch of road in this town. The con- ditions prevailing on the route I took (which I was careful to observe) were not more favorable. on the average to the making of good roads or keep ing them in repair than exist here The comparison was disheartening to me when found, on my return, that gardening had been pretty genefally ~Ss'eiAiAOo Oih OoI pIlilClpd1 Slr6G1S. The enormous outlay during the past two or three years on the Boston Turn pike road did not result in giving Us decent thoroughfare. I can recall the condition of that road nearly sixty years ago, when the Boston Turnpike Company, with the mere r-ittance if received at it's toll-gates, furnished a bstter road for the traffic of that day that our colossal expenditures have furnished for the travel or today. [ think, if this state of things is to con tinue. the trolley company would find It to its advantage to furnish platform cars at small charge, to convey automobiles through that mauvais pas where, I am informed, more disasters happen to automobiles than in any other section of our country where they are in general use
 T have wondered for many years past how long the taxpayers of this town would stand this prof1igate waste of money and constant increase of taxes and debt without adequate bene- ht- Nothing is more sure to deprecfate the value of our properties than the continuance of such conditions I hear there is a prospect of an improvement Tn this line, and when those who have mad charge of our roads lose their Jobs, I think the taxpayers of Green w1ch would give them a frst-class recommendation as constructions of roads to ruin.' 7"

Coin and Fame Easy
 Here, Says Dorando
'You Make the Money,''D clares the Runner, "and
 Others Make the Fame. "

Genoa, July 19-"America is a great country to make money in; also to make fame in." is the concrete opin- ion of Dorando, the Marathon winner.
 Both come easy" he adds. You make the money; other people make you the fame."
 Doran6o, on landing at Genoa, was immediately assailed by a hundred most mobbed by his enthusiastic com patriots, who seemed to want to car- ry him bodily off the vessel, and who also seemed unaware that he had lost a few races after all since he quilted Italian shores.
 Nearly every reporter bore the in vitation of his paper for Dorando to write articles at whatever price he pleased on his experiences in the Unit ed States. Dorando replied that he in tended to remain in Italy only two p1cnths before returning to London, thence going to New York, but that he would do ali he could gratis during that period.
 "I made enough money over there," protested Dorando, ''to last long time"
 Twenty thousand dollars-and that means 100000 francs-is the sum the little racer names as that picked up in the short time he spent in the States, and he expects to be able to make that much every year as long as his endurance holds out.
 "But the most agreeable thing was fame," acknowledged Dorando, with a smile of reminiscence. "There were Dorando ties and Dorando cakes, Do- rando songs and Dorando Shirts. I heard my name pronounced on every street corner, in every cafe and at the theatre. I struggled to be worthy of this; to put up a good fight even when I felt I couldn't win.'
 Dorando added that he had been in vited, and even urged, by several Am erican managers to sign agreements for five years, which would be dis tinctly to his advantage, but he felt that he preferred to retain his free dom whether he suffered in the long run or not.

A BIG WILD CAT
 IN NEW FAIRFIELD

A wild cat, of the Rocky Mountain species. has been seen in New Fair field within the past few mornings. The animal was first seen near the home of George w. Sanford. The cat is handsome one, of a brindle color with white breast and is nearly as large as a newly born calf
 When seen the catamount stood in the middle of the road where it stood until residents had got almost within rifle range when it cleared a fence and disappeared in the woods nearby Many residents of New Fairfield believe that the wild cat had been making its abode near SQuantz pond, as strange noises have been reported from that region by woodmen in the employ of Milo & Hatch,

The klna of Instruments,

Restricted as is its range of dynam- ics, the violin has had for its votaries men of such widely differing tempera- ments as PaganinI and Spohr, Will helmj and Sarasate, Joachim and Ysaye. Its literature does not com pare with that of the piano, for which Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin and Brahms have written their choic- est music, yet the intimate nature Of the violin, it's capacity for passionate emotion, crowns it-and not the organ with its mechanical tonaI effectsa the king of instruments. Nor does the voice make the peculiarly poignant ap- peal of the violin. Its lowest note is The G below the treble c1ef and. its top note 8 mere squeak, but it seems in a few octayes to have imprisoned within its wooden walls a miniature world of feeling. Even in the hands of clum- sy amateur it has the formidable pow CT of giving pain, while in the grasp of master it is capable of rousing the soul.-James Huneker in Every body's.

RHODE ISLAND
 BARS OUT ROWE

i Rroyidence, July 1s.@The refusal of tha oyster commissioners of the State of, Rhode Island to grant to H. C.. Rowe & Company of New Haven the lease of 200 acres in New Hope bay is thought tc mark the policy of the board to keep Rhode Island ground as much as possible for Rhode Island people.
 The opposition to Rowe & Co.,, seem ed to be based on the fact that they are a nonresident concern. Capt. Nathan A. Briggs in presenting to the conmiS siOners a remOnStrance against the, granting of the application, which he explafped, he had been authorized to-spresent by the Dhode Island Busi- ness Mems association, of which he is treasurer, said that Rowe & Co.,, all ready control one-third of all the leas- ed land in Narra gansetts bay and do not contribute in any way to the ben eft of the citizens of the state.
 After hearing the remonstrance the commissioners granted the petitioner leave to withdraw. The remonstrance was as follows:
 ''The attention of the Rhode Island Business Mems association has been called to the subject of the shellfish industry of the state and am here as the representative of the association in the interest of the citizens of the state.
 '.At one time there was but little thought of the submerged land of the SCdte anu a Sn6ll llSn COIIlILlSSlOa was not thought of. but experience and time has changed and the submerged land is worth more than upland is to buy outright. Looking back to 1898, I find that was great year. Conmis- sions paid to the city treasurer. ST. 690, and in 10 years you have increas- ed that to $1O0, ,0o0 for leases. But that is. not all. We have 20 large compan- ies employing a fleet of steamers and thousands of men, which, increase the income of our citizens hundreds of thousands.
 "Our banks, our merchants, our me- chanics and railways all receive a benefit from the industry. The capi- tai invested pays a good tax to the local cities and towns where located, and we want them to build more plants and employ more men. But, gentlemen, we do not want foreign CTS to come to you and ask and re- ceive the same privileges as you grant to our citizens. refer in par ticular now to VIII. Rowe & Co., They now have more leases than any other company and do not contribute to the state outside of the rent they pay"

Chinese FiIiaI Piety.

The following Chinese story illus trates the national regard for filial pfety: A man and his wife maltreated the husbands mother. As a punish ment the scene of the act was openly cursed, the active agents were put to death, and the mother of the wife was bambooed, branded and exiled for her daughters crime. The house in which the offenders lived was dug up from the foundations. Moreover, the schol- -ars of the district were precluded from attending public examinations, and even the magistrates were deprived of their offices. These drastic measures were designed to render the empire flial.

The Use of Iron.

Iron has been known to men for very long time. In the time of the As syrians it was extensively used, iron saws, knives and other tools having been found by Layard at Nineveh. Homer refers to the forging of iron, while the hardening and tempering of steel appear to have been operations in common use among the early Greeks. The employment of kind of bellows for the forging of tools, pre- sumably of iron, figures in Egyptian sculpture of 1900 B. c. Cast iron ap- pears to have been discovered about $50 B. 0. Through the agency of the Romans the manufacture of iron was introduced all over the then known world and into those regions where it had not been previously known.-New York American.

at cheese mites through a microscope.
Oh, yes, that is Michael, and that is
Captain Marriott, and they are going
up to look at the motor! The
motor has stopped. The driver is
getting down. They are examining
some part Of the machine. Obvious
ly, Daisy, Michael has bought the
motor he spoke about, and they
are seeing If it will do. 1t means that
everything is now in good train. We
shall meet them al Bad F%irstenberg."
She watched with eager scrutiny, and
Daisy watched her also.
Suddenly the girl saw that the
wrists which held up the glass began
to tremble. The Duchess wore a
bracelet of gold, studded with pearls
and turquoises, upon her wrist. 1t
moved in a strange and agitated way.
What is it," Daisy said, suddenly.
The Duchess answered her in a
curious, muffled, and almost hypnotic
voice. There is something very Gu
rious happening down there" she said.
Another motor-car has driven up to
the hotel. Mr.. Grant is examining
the first, and Captain Marriott is
standing by him. Out of the hotel
door a tan man has come, who is
holding a little girl of three or four
years by the hand"
Then the Duchess stopped. She
kept the glasses up to her eyes and
said nothing for several seconds.
Then she threw the glasses down up.
on the stone floor, and a strangled
scream rang out through the embra.
sures into the air.
"Daisy!" she said. half shouting,
hall crying, "the man has put the lit
tie child into the car. It has swung
round and driven OF at once. The
little child stretched out a hand to-
wards Michael Grant. Michael Grant
turned round, caught Captain Mar
riott by the arm and they both leapt
into their W car. The second car
has already gone round the facade
Of the cathedral. The other has made
a turn and is following it. Daisy,
something has happened! Something
terrible has happened! Who was the
child that seemed to know Michael?'

CHAPTER XVI.
The Race Begun!

The waiter came up to Captain
M%arriott's room.
Gentlemen" he said, speaking that
excellent English that all German
walters in Cologne achieve, 1.-The
chauffeur has arrived and is waiting
below"
Come on, BASIL" Grant said.
Here is the car which was to arrive
in a few minutes. Come down and
give me your opinion of it,"
They went down together, and out
side the door of the hotel a great red
Dietrich was waiting. in charge Of a
little man with a blond moustache
and circular s~pectacles, in a coat Of
soiled black leather.
Nov, here we are!" Grant said.
Come on. Marriott, and examine our
car. You see, it has four cylinders,
and we have a spare Stepney wheel
as well as tires upon the roof: nor do
l think we could possibly have a bet
ter machine for our purpose than
this. Overhaul her in any way you
like; and then we'll get our bags
packed and be OF at once The
Duchess and Miss Hobson will catch
the night train. But, of course, it is
understood that we are going indie
pendent of Them"
The chauffeur got down from his
seat and came up to Grant, saying
something to him in cultural German,
Grant started. "Oh, really" he
said; let's have a look" and together
the two went round the car and
peered under the chassis.
Marriott stood idly by the side Of
the car. He knew q good deal about
automobiles. He was interested, OF
course. In this suddenly-purchased
machine, which was to take him and
Grant into the Principally. But he
was thinking OF Daisy.
As he was standing there, lighting
a cigarette, another automobile drove
up to the front door of the hotel. The
engines Of the new car, which was
very similar to their own, were
thrown out Of gear, but not stopped.
The thr0bbing Of the continuous ex-
plosions went on. filling the air with
sound.
by Jove!" Basil said to himself,
1t is like waking up among the side
drums Of q tattoo"
He stood there putting at his Gig
aret. and waiting for Grant, who, with
the chauffeur, was still busily engaged
in peering at the machinery below the
tonneau.
AS he stood thus, a tall man with q
military walk and figure, and q blond
moustache waxed at the ends, came
out Of the hotel. He was dressed in
q suit Of light tweeds, and he held by
the hand . little child. clothed in a
nondescript tunic. The child seemed
to walk somewhat unwillingly with
the big man. and 1t would have been
diflcult for anyone to say whether
the little creature was . boy OF . girl.
