The directors Of Chandler Music hall at
their own expense gave the staff OF en-
ployes and their friends a very fine sup
per in Bethany Parish house last evening.
About seventy sat down to q hearty dis
cussion of q menu comprising tomato
soup, veal pie, mashed potato, squash,
rolls, salad, jelly, olives, ice cream, cake
and coffee.
At the post prandial exercises NJ. NJ.

appreciation of the efficient service the

three years ago.

Tuesday to attend the funeral OF fellow
employe in the railway mail service, NJ
W. Judson, who was found Jan. un-
conscious on some basement steps at the
corner OF Blackstone and Hanover streets,
Boston, and taken to a police station,
where he died. He was evidently on his
way to hotel where he stayed when in
Boston and as the autopsy revealed two
large clots on his brain, he was either
stricken with apoplexy or sandbaggea.
His friends incline to the latter belief be-
cause he was known to have considerable
money on his person when he started for
the hotel and only 80 cents was left in his
pocket when he was picked up by the
police.
Judge George L. Stow OF Chelsea held
probate court at the Inn Monday to con-
slider the cases of John Croutchey and
Rufus d. Pease, two insane patients at
the Waterbury Asylum. The former, 81
or 3S years old, had been at the hospital
since Nov. 30, 1907, while the latter had
been under restraint more or less for the
last ten years. Mr.. Peass is about so
years old and in bis younger days was
great pedestrian. He used to think moth

field to this village and back any day and
once footed it all the way from Chicago
to Vermont. Dr.. Don Grout, superin-
tendent Of the Waterbury hospital, was

the two patients, both of whom were re-
committed.

q very ancient fortress inclosed by
high walls more than twenty feet in

the unwary fisherman chances TO drift
in his boat too near to the walls of
the fortress he is greeted by the shout
of sentinel aiming his rife:

Not even the Dead Sea in the des-
erts Of Asia is so utterly isolated and
cut of from the living world as is this
Fortress of Schluesselburg, which lies
within forty miles of st. Petersburg.

Mechanism OF Machines which Are
Labor aud Time savers.
The automatic machine is the most
recent development in census tabulat-
ing machinery, and had It been per,
feeted earlier much of the hand ma
chimes could have been dispensed with,
though, in most cases where readings
must be taken very frequently, the
hand machines are almost, II not quite,
as economical
Whether in the hand machine or in
the automatic the counters are oper-
ated by means of electrical contacts
made through the punched holes, ac-
cording to h. Dana Durand in the
American Review of Reviews. The
machines are so wired that facts can
be counted in combination with one
another. Thus it is possible to count
at the same time facts with regard to
age and marital condition, so as to
show, for instance, on one counter the
number Of married persons from 21 to
25 years Of age, on another those from
% to 30. and on others the number
of single persons of these two age
periods Each machine, in fact, is
provided with a large number OF count
ers; as many as sixty counters will
be used in certain runs Even thus,
however, it would be quite impossible
to count all the manifold combinations
Of items at a single run" of the card.
Each card on the average must be
passed through the tabulating ma
chimes five or six times. In other
words, the work is equivalent to tabu-
.ating approximately 100000 cards.
Even the hand machines used at the
present census are much more rapid F..
than those of ten years ago. In 1900
he counters used consisted of dials, |

CHICAGO.

r. G. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review OF
Chicago trade says:
While improvement appears In some
directions, the general state of trade
is still marked by cross currents. A
relatively better exhibit appears in the
volume of solvent payments through
the banks, but money does not loosen,
and another high record of trading de-
faults distorts the opposition In cred
its Movements of grain, flour, live
stock, hides and wool have decreased,
and new demands in leading indus
tries add little to the period of as.
sured forward activity.
More satisfactory features are noted
in transportation Of iron and steel out
puts, finished products and general
merchandise. The weather conditions
turned more encouraging for agricul-
ture and impaired stimulus to outdoor
construction and seasonable retail
lines Higher temperatures are neces-
sary to effect adequate distribution Of
lightweight apparel, the stocks here
and at the interior being large, al
though not causing anxiety
New contracts entered testify to
sustained demand in electric appli.
ances, heavy hardware, machinery, fur
niture, automobiles and brass work.
Planning mills have much work for To-
cal and outside needs, and the absorp-
tion is still remarkably extended in
building materials of all kinds Op-
erations in wholesale dry goods, mil,
linery, footwear, sporting goods and
food products compare favorably with
the business at this time last year.

once said to a friend, and really |
cannot find fault with the descrip-
ton"
Brougham, the great lord chancellor,
was a man Of almost repellant ugli-
ness, without a solitary comDensat-
ing grace of speech or manner. When
anyone asked, Where is Brougham?'
The inyariable answer was, Where Due
ladies are thickest." And, sure enough,
,here he was; and the more he re-
PEELED his fair prosecutors, the more
they clustered round him.
Another famous lady killer was
Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading
and most infamous figures in the
French revolution. Beyond any Ques-
tion," wrote a contemporary, IN.
AIarat is the ugliest man in the whole
of France-and not merely ugly, but
positively repulsive in person, habits
and manners
Even while hiding in the sewers Of
Paris, he was devotedly nursed by one
of the loveliest of his admirers. whom
he married one fine day in the pres
ence of the sun"

He has an unwieldy figure and knock
knees, is swarthy of skin, coarse in
feature and has lost one eye. He often
passes whole days in his room half
dressed, uncombed, unwashed, biting
his nails and scratching his untidy
head"
But perhaps the most remarkable of
all these cases of womans infatuatfon
for. ugly men was that of w. Hamil-
ton, a Scotsman of a century and a
half ago Hamilton was not only pre-
ugly, but he was terribly
deformed. His legs" we are told,
were drawn up to mis- ears, his arms
were twisted backward and almost

In spite of these terrible physical
drawbacks Hamilton easily outstripped

naped and forced to lose the poll The
minor details of the campaign, how,
ever. remain the same. Mr.. Labou,
chere, for instance, in his fight for
Windsor in the seventies, canvassed
six hours each day for a month,
kissed babies, complimented mothers
and persuaded fathers just as he would
to-day But when the final survey wa4
made his supporters found that every;
thing depended on half dozen voters,
And here stepped in the diplomat. One
Tory who went to fish in a punt was
kept in the middle of the river until
his vote was useless, Another aged
and decrepit Tory was kept in this
house by cabs being put to run at him
whenever he tried to issue from his
door. The Liberals won, but the Tories
petitioned successfully.
