State Auditor Bailey of Bethel is now reported to be afield for nomination for Sheriff The office is understood to be the fattest plum in the county. and it is not surprising that MT. Bailey covets it. But he is late in entering the field. Still, if he can show an ability to carry the northern towns of the county. the southwestern section might come to his aid, in which event the defeat of Sheriff Hawley in the county convention would not be inn possible.
 MT. Roraback of Canaan who con- ducted the Hill Senatorial campaign against Brandegee, Is understood to be behind the Bailey candidacy. Can it be that this move was inspired by a wish to punish Hawley for aiding the defeat of MT. Hills Senatorial ambi- tion, by breaking up the anticipated unanimity in the county convention and thus furnishing a tangible basis for voting against Hawley at the polls in November?
 If MT. Hill continues his silence as to Hawley, the natural inference will be that he approves the Bailey move of MT. Roraback.

ALWAYS TAKE ADVICE
 OF KAISER WILHELM AS
 HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST
fspecial from United Press.o

Berlin, Aug. 25.-A frank, fatherly talk by Emperor William to the fam fly of the. late Countess Alversleben, given nearly ten years ago, but pub lished in the Berlin press today for the first time, is believed to be re- sponsible for the business success that has attended the three sons of the Countess.
 The Kaiser's speech was delivered December 1e, 1900 at private gath ering of Count Alversleben's family at Neu Gattersleben, the occasion be- ing the unveiling of a monument to the Countess. After the unveilins the Kaiser gathered the three sons of the Countess about him and addressed them as follows:
 Dear boys, want to give you a straight talk want you to revere the memory of your mother, for she was an angel. You are descended from an ancient and great family which has given Germany many dis tinguished men. know that all your family have a wicked vein. in them.
 Remember that your father has met with misfortunes and that your circumstances are not such that you will be able to take life easy. You must make your own way in the world and must give your fellow mo- bles proof that it is possible to be mo- blemen in poverty. Don't live beyond your means. Give me your hand on it''
 The three sons of the Countess thus admonished, went to Canada, determined to show the Emperor that his words were appreciated. They now form the big business firm of "Alvon Won Alversleben, Limited" of Vancouver and Victoria, B. c.

CHANDLER ON THE
 SENATORIAL ISSUE.

In an interview with the Hartford -ourant,s George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill discusses at considerable length he qualifications of Messrs. Bulkeley md Mclean for the U. S. Senate. and declares strongly for the latter. He finds that Senator BuIkeley has been merely "a well-disciplined private" in Senator Aldrich's organization. that ae has not introduced "any construc- live piece of legislation", that he has aot delivered any Informing or illurn- mating speech" and lis inclined to sneer at public speakers. that he has .raud, that his name is not Identified With any of the great issues that have stirfed the country during the past lecade"; that, with Aldrich and Can Aou. he opposed the nomination of MT. Taft, and that ms face is towards Inc past and This methods and ideals belong to d departing era.''
 Mr. Chandler admits that he does kot know whether Mclean would Ere vive the earlier traditions of the of 1oe", but does declare him to be "the States most finished product.'' Un- fortunately, MT. Chandler does not state whether or not MT. Mclean would, as Senator. advocate progres- live measures, or merely become ia well disciplined private" in the "regu- lar" organization. Probably MT. Chandler is not informed upon this boint,for Mr. McLean's silence with regard to it is profound. Yet. it is the issue uppermost in the public mind, a fact recognized by Mr. Chandler when he says:
 At this moment when we hear the sound of the hammers of party recon struction, when we see Aldrich and Hale going into voluntary retirement, when we see the aged Cannon about to be invited to take a similar course, when the demand is we'll nigh univer- sal for an infusion of new blood to stay the tide of party defection, it. Is for us, the Republicans of Connecticut. to determine whether we shall set our faces stubbernly toward the, past or get in line with the rising forces of 'standpatism'', but a new amelgam representing a spirit of conservative progress is what is destined to seize control of the party machinery at Washington.
 We infer that he believes Mclean to represent "a spirit of conservative progress, a phrase which has been worn to shreds in the past by such men as Aldrich and Cannon. and which may mean much or little.
 The Chandler interview leads one to wish that he, instead of either Bulke- ley or Mclean, were at the head of the list of Republican aspirants. Pos sibly, this interview may result as did the noted speech of President Garfield In a national convention. in his own nomination.

A FORGED CONSTRUCTION
 OF N. Y. AUTO LAW.

There does not seem to be any escape for Connecticut automobilists who en- ter New York, from being compelled to register their vehicles there at a cost of s5 to s15 each. Connecticut allows New York automobilists to use its roads for ten days without charge, and as a matter of fact these men are the ones who oftenest violate our law as to speed and who do the greatest damage to our roads But a Connec- tiddt man cannot use New York's roads for a single day or hour without charge. even though he observes that States law as to speed. etc. with the greatest possible care. The injustice of New Forks attitude is so palpable and so conspicuous as not to need com mapt.
 We confess inability to reconcile the New York Attorney Generals decision with either the evident intent or the actual letter of the law and are strongly inclined to believe that the courts, if invoked, would not sus- tain his position. It is clear that the lawmakers intended to allow non-res- idents from any State exactly the same rights as are given to New York owners by that State; this would allow Connecticut automobilists a ten day use of New York roads without charge.
 The letter of the law, as applied to Connecticut, provides in substance that it's automobilists shall have in New York the same exemptions and priv lleges'' granted to- New York automo- bnists in Connecticut-that is. a ten day use of roads without charge. Yet the New York Attorney General holds to the contrary.
 Either the New York Legislature should amend the law of its State or the Connecticut General Assembly should repeal the ten-day clause of the automobile law as regards New York automobiles. ,4,
 Many New Workers are summer res ;dents of Connecticut, and most of them run automobiles upon our roads for months. Presumably, few of them have registered their cars in Connecti- cut, though far exceeding the ten-day limit If New York, by a forced con- structfon of its law, discriminates against Connecticut, the latter cannot be blamed for enforcing the plain letter of it's law against New York, if for no other reason than to influence New Hrk automobiiists toward a change in <As 4aM sershs1le State. te.-s--

FINANCIAL SCHEME OF CENSUS EhUMERATORS
 FOR EXTRA WORK
Especial from United Press,


 Washington, Aug. 25.-In an effort to block a plan to collect one dollar each from census enumerators throughout the country to finance a claim which he asserts is baseless, Census Director Durand today made public a circular sent out by a man who poses as Secretary of the Ma tional Association of Census Emu merators."
 Each enumerator who distributes advance schedules of population is asked to contribute s1 to help pay for legal counsel and otherwise to meet the expense of prosecuting a case before the United States Court of Claims to obtain $10 additional compensation.
 Census Director Durand received one of the circulars from a former enumerator in Milwaukee. In his letter the secretary of the association says that the advance distribution of the schedules was extra work for which he made a demand for S1O pay. The demand was refused by Durand and the case thus affords a basis for a claim in court, according to the secretary's view.
 The enumerators were plainly told. the director says, that they would receive no additional pay for this work

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

For stained tinware, borax produces the best results.
 When finishing home made rugs bind the edges with the rubber mat ung ends that are used for finishing mating.
 A little kerosene on a soft, wet cloth removes all dirt and grease from painted kitchen walls and from the gas range.
 In patching if embroidery hoops are used to hold the cloth with which you are patching in place, basting is unnecessary
 A piece of court plaster on the end of the forefinger of the left hand will protect it from needle bricks when sewing.
 use chamois mittens when sweeping and performing tasks where gloves will not interfere.
 Gloves, fine muslin and all sheer materials can be mended with hair so that the rent or hole will be al- most invisible.
 When an ink blot occurs and the eraser is not at hand, use a bit of the emery board which comes to manicure the hands.
 Many a basting can be dispensed with if you keep on hand a box of wire fasteners such as are used for keeping papers together.
 Fresh fruit stains may be removed from linen by holding the cloth over a bowl and pouring boiling, not hot water over them.
 A cupful of grape or raspberry or a few crushed mint leaves added to a pitcher of lemonade, makes a re- freshing drink.
 When a box of sarines is opened, it should be drained of all oil possi- b1e and the little fish turned out and spprinkled with lemon juice.
 LN . voring to cake batter, try sprinkling the required amount over the cake as it stands in the pan before bak. ing.
 A delicious accompaniment to fish course is small tomatoes, scoop cumbers, we'll seasoned. Serve ice cold
 Dish mops and dishcloths are very apt to become sour in hot weather. It is a very good plan to boil them out often in a solution of soda and water.
 Muslin sash curtains are sometimes torn by fastening the rods to their hems. To prevent, put thimble on one end of the rod and pass through the hem.
 If a teaspoonfu1 of salt and one of two cupfuls of starch, it will give a beautiful lustre to the starched clothes.
 Use new corset string to fasten buttons to children's clothes. Take a small piece, run through the two holes of the button and sew ends firmly to the garment.
 When a gas mantle begins to turn black, sprinkle little salt on it witt a salt shaker and light. The black part will burn off and become white again. ..

MADRIz MAY
 VISIT MEXICO
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Mexico City, Aug. 25.-A stir, was created in diplomatic circles yesterday when report said to have come from an authoritative source reached here that Dr. Jose Madriz, deposed presi- dent of Nicaragua, will visit Mexico during the centennial celebration next month.
 Some time ago Madriz notified the Mexican government that he would send a representative to Mexico's eel ebration and the question was raised as to how such an envoy should be received. Foreign representatives felt that if the Nicaraguan envoy were received as other than pri- vate citizen a direct insult would be given the United States, which had refused to recognize the Madriz gov ernment.
 Thus far Mexico has refused to in- dicate the action that might be. taken in case Madriz comes in person. Ii is expected here that Madrfz will sail for other than a Mexican port.

CRIPPEN CASE
 BIG AID. SCHEME
Rumor that Belle Elmore lis In Hiding and All Con cerned Will Go on Va
 riety Stage
Special from United Press.)

London, Aug. 25.-A rumor that made the rounds of the newspaper offices yesterday but which was considered so fantastical that it was not published. was that the "Crippen Case" is the atrical advertising scheme and that as soon as the fiasco is exhausted all those concerned in 1t will go on the variety stage.
 Dr. Crippen'S wife, Belle E1more, is now in hiding, according to the rumor, awaiting the psychological moment to put in an appearance. The body sup posed to be that of Mrs. Crippen was an unrecogniZable mass of material that Crippen "planted'' in the cellar of his house in such manner as to give the appearance of murder.
 Incidentally it is said that those i'm voIved in the alleged hoax are laying for an avalanche of libel suits.

It is as refreshing as a heavy shower after protracted drouth, to find Dem ocrats abandoning their aspirations this year to secure harmony in the party. A lengthy experience in Dem ocratic politics does not recall any similar movement. Heretofore, the habit has been to wage such fierce factional battles as engender a bit terness finding vent in the knife at the polls and assuring defeat. It is most sincerely to be hoped that the health full policy of abating differences prev ious to primaries and conventions will become a permanent fixture in the party management.

New York, Aug. 25.-Now that John Barrymore Blythe, the actor, who is known of the stage as Jack Barry more, and Miss Katherine Core liar ris, the young heiress. have obtained a license to wed their friends are speculating just swhen the event will take place. The announcement of their engagement was made while the father of the bride to be was on his return voyage from abroad, but with the full knowledge of her mother, it is said. For number of years Jack Barrymore has been considered one of the matinee idols' of the metro polls and the news of his approaching marriage is viewed with dismay by many young women patrons of New York theatres According to the .cou- pie. the ceremony will not be per formed until the return of Miss liar ris from Canada, where she will wis., it until fall, but there are those who insist that the wedding will take place before that time.
