Modern Political System Roasted.

J. New York, Dec. 29.-The modern
political system, so far as the aver
age voter is concerned, has come in
for some hard knocks at the meeting
Of the American Political Science AS
ISOLATION, which is in session at Co.
lumbia University. .
Prof. Charles. A.. Beard, Of Colum-
bia University, told the delegates that
the Northern and Eastern States, are
tending towards more appointive Off
ces, while the South and West favor
more small elective Offices. The lat
ter arrangement, he said, puts the
control OF minor Offices more thor
oughly in. the hands of the politi-
Clans.
Prof. Richard S. -Childs discussed
the .need for ballot implication, "
and said: Under our present sys-
tenn undoubtedly s5 per cent. of the
voters do not record their real wish
es. Politics is so complicated that it
has become a profession and shuts
out fully 95 per cent. of the great
unbribable mas sof the people. There
must come a simplifcation if we are
to have popular control of govern
ment-real democracy instead of con-
troll by politicians -, .-..

DIPLOMAT AND WOMAN.
Engage in Little Scrap in the Ma
tional Capital.

South American diplomacy is again
prominently in the public eye in the
person of Senor Don Alberto Mn
Frias, the secretary and charge
d'affaires Of the Uruguayan legation,
who, because his whilom lady love,
Mrs. Florence Garland, swatted him
over the head yesterday with her
parasol has ungallantly had the lady
arrested on a warrant charging her
with assault. Don Alberto, says Mrs.
Garland, was engaged to marry him
as soon as she got a divorce from
her present husband. He boarded
at her house and they became
friends, she says. There must have
been some trouble about two weeks
ago, because Don Alberto got a war
rant out for Mrs. Garland then,
charging her with taking two rings
of his. =. 80:
So far as anyone can understand
the situation it seems that yesterday
Mrs. Garland called on a friend of
hers, and when she went into the par
lor she found her gentleman friend,
Don Alberto, seated at the piano
playing merry air. In view Of the
fact that when last seen at her house
Don Alberto was. the lady's fance,
so far, as he could be when she had
not yet obtained her divorce, Mrs.
Garland not unnaturally wanted to
know what he was doing in her lady
friends house. :,
South: American diplomacy appar-
emily could not arise to the occasion.
Indeed, it is charged that he rudely
slapped the lady in the face, where
upon she smote hi with her parasol.
When the Uruguayan diplomat had
collected together enough shreds of
his silk hat to make passable ap-
paranee ON the street he hurried to
the nearest police station and OBJ
tanned satisfaction in the shape of
a police warrant: :
Mrs. Garland wants a jury trial,
and says there will be interesting
revelations. Whatever may be the
outcome of the trial there will doubt
less, be a change in the Uruguayan
legation. -Washfngton. special to

Train Plunges Over Bank.

Trenton, Mo-, Dec. 31.-Three per-
sons were killed and As injured to-
day by the derailing and partial
burning of westbound Rock Island
passenger train South Of Trenton
which was probably caused by spread
ing rails. ;. While the train was run
ming at a: high rate Of speed the 10
comotive and tender plunged over a
five-foot embankment, dragging two
baggage cars, a mail car, a tourist
car and a standard sleeping car with
them.
While passengers in the wrecked
cars were struggling to escape from
the debris fire started from the fire
box. The splintered cars burned
rapidly and the three slain passeng-
ers were partly burned. Scores OF
persons were rescued as the flames
were scorching their clothing or
burning their flesh. 49,:
David Siegel, of Cleveland, OHIO,
was held by the .wreckage for an hour
while the, fire burned within a few
feet Of him, but was eventually res
cued, although he may lose an arm.
Heroic rescues were numerous.
Men and women who escaped un-
harmed rushed into the burning
wreckage to: rescue the less fortunate
passengers.
The ground was covered with
snow and raw wind was blowing.
The men collected coats and pro-
tected the women, and women tore
strips from their linen to make band
ages for the wounded.
The most. seriously injured were
taken to Trenton while the other
passengers were taken to Kansas
City, Mo. The greatest havoc was
wrought in the chair car. 1t was in
the debris that the bodies Of the two
women were found. Conductor David
A. Clemens owes his life to the fact
that he was in the baggage car when
the wreck occurred. He was hurled
through an opening to safety. He
was severely injured.

BEER CONSUMPTION GROWING.
Larger Tax Receipts on Poor Mans
Drink Show Country's Prosperity.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-That
the brewers Of the country are re-
covering from the slump in the con-
sumption of that beverage which
characterized the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1909, when the internal
revenue receipts fell off nearly two
and half million dollars, is shown
by the November treasury statement,
giving such returns from all sources.
During November the taxes on beer
increased $606,947 over November,
1908, which means that just SO many
more barrels were taken from the
breweries for ultimate use. For the
first five months Of the current fiscal
year the increase in beer tax receipts
over the corresponding period Of the
fiscal year 1909 amounted to s777,-
658, the summer months Of the cur
rent year showing an increase, while
in September and October there vas
falling off. Internal revenue bu-
reau officials say an increase in con-
sumption of beer is an indication of
prosperity, as, being a poor mans
drink, it's use accurately reflects the
trend of industrial conditions
The interesting fact is also brought
out that the retail liquor dealers
special tax for the past five months
of the current fiscal year shows de-
crease of $2S2,779, as compared with
the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year, which, the officials say,
is due to the wave Of prohibition
which. has swept over various por-
tions of the United States.

How DO You Fight.

Did you tackle the trouble that came
your way - 80.
With q resolute heart and cheerful? ?
Or hide your face from the light OF
:, day !: ~. ...,,..: -,
With a craven soul and fearful?
o, a troubles a ton, or a troubles an
ounce,
Or a troubles what you make it,
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take it.
You're beaten on earth? Well, well
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face,
It's nothing against you to fall down
fiat, ..
But to lie there, that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why, the
higher you bounce; ;.
Be proud of your blackened eye!
1t isn't the fact that you are licked
that counts;
It's how did you fght-and why:
And though you be done to death,
what then? -,
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part in The world
of men,.
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with crawl, or comes
with pounce
And whether he's slow or spry,
It isn't the fact that you are dead
that counts,
But only how did you die.

New Years Thoughts.

Let US walk softly, friend;
For strange paths lie before us, all
untrod;
The New Year, spotless from the
hand of God,
Is thine and mine, O friend!
Let us walk straightly, friend;
Forget the crooked paths behind US
now,
Press on with steadier purpose on
our brow,
To better deeds, o friend!
. Let us walk gladly, friend,
Perchance some greater good than
we have known
Is waiting for US, or some fair hope
Shall yet return, O friend!
Let US walk humbly, friend;
Slight not the heart's-ease blooming
round our feet;
The laurel blossoms are not half so
sweet,
Or lightly gathered, friend
Let US walk kindly, friend;
We cannot tell how long this life
shall last,
How soon these precious years be
overpast;
Let love walk with us, friend.
Let us walk quickly, friend;
Work with our might while lasts our
little stay,
And help some halting comrade on
the way;
And may God guide us, friend!

CIVIL SUPERIOR COURT
ADJOURNED WITHOUT DATE.
Judge Shunway Grants Motion to
Cease Payment of Alimo1y in Miller
Case.

on Tuesday the April term of the
civil side of the superior court was
adjourned sine die here. The court
has been out two weeks, but came in
been held over.
A motion in the Miller divorce case
to cease the payment of alimony,
pending an appeal to the supreme
court, was granted. This is the di-
vorce suit of Freelove a. Miller VS..
Everett O. Miller of Norwich, in
which a decision was recently handed
down denying Mrs. Miller's petition
Miller has been paying $50 a
month alimony, and his counsel, At
torney Hadlai A Hull, said that he
thought it would be hardship to
force him to pay $50 a month until
next April. as the appeal could not
possibly be heard before then.
Attorney Browning. appearing Tor
Mrs. Miller, opposed the motion, but
Judge Shumway granted II anq Mrs.
Miller will receive no more almony
until the supreme court disposes OF
her appeal
the appeal to the supreme court
was perfected in the case of town
of Preston VS.. Norwich Compressed
Air Power Co
A final judgment was given Mrs.
Horace r. Sistare against her nus
bands estate. Mrs. Sistare years ago
sued Sistare, who was a native OF New
London and an actor, for back alimony.
Sistare claimed he did not have TO
pay it. as he had kept out of New
York state, where his wife lived. The
supreme court recently decided that
that was no ground and now Mrs. SIS
tare is to recover approximately
$1,000 from her husbands estate.
Il was stated in the court on Jues-
dlv that the SistaTe case is the third
ca Sc which was heard hy Judge Thayer
and whose decision was ONerruled py
the supreme court, only to be reversed
by the United States supreme court
thus sustaining Judge Thayer's de
cision. The attorneys who carried thlS
case to the Unittd States supreme
court have secured fourteen new cases
of this nature since the decision.
