NEW HAMPSHIRE

Republicans Fear They Will Lose Governor and a
 Congressman

Boston, Aug. 30-A dispatch from Manchester from staff correspondent of The Advertiser foretells Democratic words:
 "One has to search diligently in the Granite State to find a Republican who has no fear that (unless factional bit terness is smoothed out before election day) the party will fail to elect, even by Legislature, the next Governor of the State, and a considerable number profess misgivings that the Democrats will carry one of the Congressional districts
 Whether the progressive triumph with Bass or the regulars withs Ellis each group admits that all Republi- cans will have to work as never before to elect their candidate, and that de- feat is practically certain. if the other wing should triumph at the primaries on Sept. 6.
 The Republicans have split into two wings, called progressive, insurgent, or Lincoln Republicans, and the regulars, who are sometimes denominated ma- chine men. The forces are about even- other by the throat for the past four years.
 'The progressives or anti-ma chine agitation and propaganda has been making two or three Democratic votes while it. has been making one Repub- lican, land it has become now common belief that since this propaganda is livelier and more aggressive than ever nothing Out a decided abandonment of factional fghting) can save the Democrats from actually electing their candidate for Governor this fall, and that, too, by a vote that will be a ma jority over all votes cast-in other words, a most decisive vote"

Wall street views with much ap- prehension the Western tour of Col. Roosevelt. This feeling is express ed by Watson, Alpers & Co.,, in their weekly letter, as follows:
 It has pleased Col. Roosevelt, on his return from Africa, to take up again the slogan of what is called Reform. We might suggest that the programme has the danger of possibly reform ing' voters into the other party, whose managers, if they are shrewd enough, might be able quietly to pre- sent plan and process for any re- form really needed which would not involve the upsetting of business which has for so long attended the activities of the Republican powers. It seems to be the general expectation that, when Col Roosevelt is on his Western tour, he will hand out some brands of incendiary reform that will even put in the shade the strenuous messages and speeches that character ized his term of office as President.

NEW OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN
CRv Abby Chandler Greeneo

(By Abby Chandler Greene.)
 A woman thrown upon her own resources could find no more con- genial, profitable or genteel employ ment than breeding canaries.
 It is a nice clean business, requir- ing practically no capital and only small space. A very ordinary singer absolutely unedated will bring from three to five dollars and several broods can be raised in a year, from one pair. Nothing is easier than to teach them to sing. Keep the young birds in a darkened room, where they can hear a superior singer in an adjoining room; upon opening the door and letting in a flood of light they will try to initiate the other birds, methods, repeat this several times @ day.
 Melting. is natural method of giv- Ing bird a new set of feathers; from four or six weeks are required in the operation and during this period sing ing is out of the question.
 Do not leave them in a cold room, nor in a draught as they catch cold very easily. Do not feed them on sugar candy or cakes and other deli- cacies or they will surely die of in- digestion.
 When the bird ceases to sing place in the cage a bit of raw bacon cov- cred with cayenne pepper. Boil an egg, for half an hour, mash up the yOlk with some cracker dust, and have a taste of lettuce for once in a while do not let leaf of lettuce re- main in the cage for several days, change it to a piece of apple. oab- bage, water cress or other green stuff. See to it that it isn't eaten up with vermin.
 Rub the scales of the feet with olive oil, trim the toe nails almost down to the veins, and do not for get his daily bath and always keep a rusty nail in the water. If neces- sary grease his bald spot with butter and sulphur, and keep the birds, out of the kitchen.

HARVESTING TOBACCO CROP
 IS NOW IN FULL SWING. Leaf Bringing 20 Cents a Pound and Plants Cutting Ton to Acre.

New Milford, Aug. 30.-Harvesting the tobacco crop is now in full swing here. The weather has been excel lent for tobacco since the setting out of the plants in June and the> crop is a good one The leaves arc large and of good texture. Hail storms have been infrequent in the tobacco fields. A few sales have been made and 20 cents a pound have been of fered.
 For three seasons the average price has been about eight cents pound, a figure so low that farmers had seriously thought of giving up rais- ing the weed. This season the acre. age was cut down in the Housatonic valley to about 300, as compared with 1,4o0 acres formerly.
 With the leaf bringing 20 cents a pound and plants cutting ton to an acre, the crop hereabouts will be close upon 500 tons between now and Christmas.
 The excellent results indicated eare expected to stimulate businesss in other lines, which suffered some de- pression owing te-failure of tobacco as crop the past two seasons.

New .Eondon. Aug. So.-A fishing party from Ocean Beach, aboard the power yacht, Hobo, discovered the body of a man floating in Long Is- land Sound yesterday. a half-ni1e from Plum Island. The body was lowed to the island to await New York coroner.
