Reminder Of New York in Desert

Travelling recently on donkey-back across a trackless portion of the Con chilla desert, in southeastern Cali fornia, we sighted ahead of us above the sage brush 8 nondescript object which on nearer approach resolved in- self into two diIapidated trolley cars. They formed the equipment of horse railway across the sands ten or twelve years ago to connect a soli- tary station on the Southern Pacific railroad with an agricultural colony several miles distant. The farming enterprise failed utterly and the horse railway with The incon- gruous sight Of these two abandoned cars in the midst of drifting sands is all that remains to-day to tell the tale of shattered hope.-World Wide Mag azine

ROSE TO DIPLOMATIC HEIGHT. Young Man Proved Decidedly Equal
 to the Occasion.

Harold visits on terms of intimacy a household that boasts of three good looking sisters-Betty, Babbie and Ellen-and of these Hssrold has not yet quite made up his mind touching a certain important contingency.
 On one occasion, when he had called early and no one was yet downstairs. Harold was half-dozing in a Morris chair in the library, when suddenly a pair of soft little hands covered his eyes and a sweet little voice com manded:
 Guess who!"
 Immediately Harold was up a tree. He couldn't for the life of him de- termine whose voice it was-Betty's Babbie's? Ellen's? A wrong guess would mean complications too awful to contemplate. Finally, however, a happy solution of the difficulty offered itself. and Harold blandiy announced: ::
 Its the dearest, sweetest little girl in all the worldt"
 Dear Harold" murmured the young thing, as she removed her hands Lippincott's.

Non Alcoholic Beer.

Consul General John L.. Grif1ths of London furnishes the following infor- nation concerning new temperance drink now being introduced in Eng land:
 There has been recently placed on this market a beverage which it is claimed is non-intoxicating and still resembles and tastes like the intoxi- eating beer. It is brewed from malt and hops only and has no preservative in it. It does not look unlike beer and the taste is very similar. It is made of precisely the same materials IS the best English home brewed ale but alcohol is almost entirely eIiminat- ed, and it is stated that there is no chemical admixture of any kind. The amount of alcohol produced by the brewing process in this beverage is given as nine-tenths of one per cent. which is less than the beverage to be found in any of the ginger aIes stone beers, and other temperance bever- ages
 The process by which this beverage is made is the invention of a French scientist, while certain notifications were made by one of the professors of the Paris Pasteur institute and an English brewer. Two kinds are made, ale and stout The ale. it is claimed has the flavor of a light beer. and the stout tastes almost exactly like good quality of London stout.

Denounce Strike.

The Grand Trunk machine shop men at St. Albans, Vt, thrown out of work by Entertainments strike. adopt reso- lutions denouncing it. There is the chance, however. that if it continues many of them will have the opportuni- ty to exchange grimy shop job for the more '.genteel"- job of conductor, or for perhaps to them the more attrac- tive job of baggagemaster or brake man or fireman. They would not prob ably be averse to the chance of get ting out on the road" for a while. Train jobs are usually the most at- tractive of all connected with the manual work of railroading. This is a reason for believing that a trainmens strike, conducted without violence, must be short lived even when labor in general is fully employed and scarce.-Springfield Republican.

A Healthier State.

Leslie M. Shaw, at the recent ban quet of the Commercial Travellers league, said of a silly argument against & great American merchant marine:
 This argument is groundless. It reminds me, really, of old Mother Taliaferro.
 Mother Taliaferro lived in a dug out in North Carolina near the line. When the boundary between North Carolina and Virginia was changed it shifted the old woman's dugout into the latter state.
 Well, mother said a surveyor to her. you don't live in North Carolina any more You live in Virginia now. How do you like it?'
 Like it? said the old woman. Why I likes it fine, O course. Every body knows that Virginny is a health fer state than North Car'lina.' - Philadelphia Bulletin.

SENATE MAY GET
 INTO NEW CHAMBER
During Coming Session. as Delay in Receiving New State Library Fur nshings is Nearly Ended.

State Librarian George s. Goddard has received q copy of the Evening Journal of Jamestown, N. Y, which says that the strike at the metal works there which has delayed the making of the new book stacks for the new state library, has been settled. The stack room in the new state library is completed. but the two-story steel stacks i'll the main reading room have not yet been put up, nor have the other steel furnishings of the room. The delay has interfered with the plans of the building committee which had hoped to have the present rooms of the library altered and ready for a senate chamber during the coming session. As result of the delay the senate will begin it's session in the present chamber.
 Ex-Senator Charles C. Cook of the commission said yesterday that he hoped to be able to complete the alter ations while the senate was in session, so that the senate could meet in the new room. The east side of the pres ent library will be done off for the lieutenant governors room and ante room and the west side will be done off for the senate waiting and retir- ing rooms. The seats will face the north, the main entrance being as it is now, and the seats will be in a sin gle seni-circ1e-

The Taft Band Wagon.

Politicians are awakening to the fact that one of the biggest factors in the coming congressional campaign will be the spreading popularity of William Howard Taft. Former Gov evrnor Franklin Murphy who in op- posing John Kean for election to the senate, might have been expected to give voice to insurgent views, has realized that the chief hope of a can tfidate in the coming campaign is to be more strongly and enthusiastically in favor of President Taft than the ather fellow.
 Referring to the quiet resistless power with which the president has handled his great burden of natiosfc- problems, Murphy says:
 He started out to get things to have laws made, to fulfil republican and in this great work he must recon cile factions and get peoples heads together without knocking hold irresistibly to his own safe course, and draw the extremists from every direc- ton and persuade them to work to- gether with him. Abraham Lincoln is the only other statesman this country has ever produced with Taft's power of harnessing wild horses into a steady and vigorous team
 From this statement of his opinion regarding the Taft administration, ex- pressed in response to the request of the republican state committee of New Jersey Mir. Murphy makes it very plain that he believes the main hope of all republicans in the coming cam paign is to stand by the record of President Taft. From Indiana comes the word that any republican who does not strongly support the record made by the president stands little chance of election. Reports from oth- CT contested territories are to the same effect. Colonel Roosevelt may make speeches in favor of certain in- dividuals, either republican or insur- gent, but the test of republicanis1n in the coming campaign will be a stanch loyalty to President Taft Most of the politicians realize this, and are hastening to get on the band wagon Was hington Post

As the result of three poles, carry ing the electric wires of the Connecti- cut company. falling at Derry Hill, above UncaSvilles Thursday noon some delay was causedfto the trolley service between New London and Norwich. The poles fell across the track just past the curve near the John Doyle place, and as this is just above steep grade it is possible that a serious accident would have followed had not the nine year old son of John Doyle seen the danger and taken it upon himself to flag the next car. This he did with a red handkerchief. The car that was Jagged was the one that left Norwich at Ills o'clock, with John Kfns, motorman, and Frederick Tour

cAST-oFF PITCHERS
 LEADING LEAGUE
Burns and Susgs, Chased from Ameri
 can, Make Good in National.

Clarke Grifith's success with a cou- pie of castoff curvists. Bill Burns and George Suggs, the former of whom was with the White Sox and the lat ter canned by Jennings, has given the fans a chance to chew over the re- spective strength of the American and National leagues.
 Suggs has tucked away a dozen games, while Burns is up with the leaders and is running second to MatheWSon. This fact is taken by the American league boosters to insure the fact that the older league is inferior to the Johnson Circuit.
 Which is begging the question and far from right. Nobody ecer question: ed in the American league the ability of both Burns and Suggs. Burns wouldn't work in Washington. and he loafed in Chicago. He simply would not do his regular labor with willing ness and conscientious desire to as sist the club. For that reason he went.
 Change Does Good.
 Cincinnati picked him Np and Burns settled down to hard work. He com piled with the requirements of the simply working as he should have worked in the American league. Had he followed his present plan prior to his waivered career he would be in the Johnson organization today
 The same thing applies to Suggs. The North Carolina chap was with Jennings for a season or two. When he buckled down tho work he pitched great ball. But he would rather bat for 400 in the rediight league than get busy with the bulb in the Tigers struggles. Tis habit had the tinware attached to him.
 He went to Zealand and he be- came the Suggs of old. He is work ing har land pitching the best ball of which he is capable. Had he per- formed in a similar manner with De- troit he would be now working for Jennings.
 In order to get comparisons busy the wisea cres will have to pick some other basis of argument than Burns and Suggs. They are simply great pitchers who wouldn't work in one league and were useless, who went into another and gave their best SUD- ply.

Doctors Thick in New York.

The proportion of physicians to the general population is probably great CT in New York city than anywhere else in the country. In the United States, for example, taking the esti- mated population of the census bu- reau for 1908 as a basis, there is one licensed physician to every 7O9 per sons; in New York state there is one to SIP, and in New York city, one to only 653.
 It has been estimated that the phy- s1eian in general practice must have a clientele of 750 persons. or 150 fam flies, to support himself and his fam fly in comfort, so if this estimate is accurate the New York doctor is short an average of 100 patients, and many of course are further behind than that.-Medical Record

BIGGEST PRICE EVER
 PAID FOR A FLINGER.
That $f2,0O0 Handed Over by Connie
 Mack for Lefty Clarence Russell.

Lefty Clarence Russell. the pitching sensation of the Eastern league and the Baltimore club this year. has brought the highest price ever paid for a ball player-$12, 900.
 The young fellow when the Eastern 1eage season closes will join the Phil adelphia Americans, the SIP, 900 having manager of the Philadelphia team.
 When Jack Dunn, the manager of the Baltimore club made known this sale, it created even greater sensa- ton than did the sale of Rube Mar quard to the Giants by the Indianap- oils club'for s11.0 two years ago.
 When Russell first attracted the at- tention of the Baltimore owners he was pitching for a. Baltimore Sunday school organization. Last year he re- ported for spring practice, and in the ante-season games did well.
 Last year Russell was with the Hagerstown team, an independent or ganizatfon. In the western Maryland burg he cleaned up everything that appeared before him, and it was not long before Manager Dnun got him.
 Since the start of the season Rus sell has shown phenomenal foCIn, and with perfect support would have lost but one game during the entire sea son thus far. He has a. splitter that is ackhnowledge the best in the circuit, and has a variety of curves and fast anu SiOW OIicS tItdL WOuIu fSldIlu in good stead in the big show.
 Russell is a willing worker, and one of his most valuable assets is the fact that one or a half dozen errors have no effect on his work, never '.crabbing'' over the misplay of his teammates or going up in the air'' over poor plays behind him. He is a quiet adr unassuming youngster, and the praises that have been sounded over hi swork throughout the entire league have not changed the size of his head in the least.
 While there are no official figures at hand, it is believed that Russell boasts the average strikeout record and the smallest average of hits per game for the opponents of any hurler in the Powers circuit.

Humphrey, with a number of 1inemen, went down as soon as possible and set things right. The delay to the trolley service was only for an hour Much gratitude was felt for the service rendered by young Doyle, which, occasioned considerable fayora ble comment from the several trolleymen who know the lad. The falling of the poles is the result of their becoming dislodged by blasting which has been going on of late in that vicinity.

Au whl.sesy. Looks Alike in South.

The auElfration of the supposedly finHlE ruIInx of President Taft on .sWhat is Whiskey?" may be suspend ed for some time, as the result of a restraining order issued by Louisiana courts on petition of representatives of the whislsey trust
 Originally any one could label an alcoholic bevera ge as he saw fit. Pres ident Roosevelt then limited the use of the word @twhiskeys' practically to straight whislxey. President Taft ex- tended this definition to all grain dis tilIates Now the molasses and whis- key interests want to extend the deh-s hilton in the meaning of the internal revenue tax requirements to embrace all whiskey They contend that there is no reason why whiskey made from sawdust potato parings, or any other such material should not be in the grain.

POLL WILL NOT ALLOW
 FIGHT PICTURES HERE. Puts Ban on Them in All of His Thea
 ters.

Mana ger Sylvester z. Poli has off cially announced his ban on the Jeff fries-Johnson fight pictures and the films will not be seen at his house in this city and very likely not in a single one of his long string of theaters in this state and outside.
 MT. Polls sentiment in the matter was made known in Waterbury. Henry Parsons, the theater magnate's repre- sentative in that city, was just about to contract for the pictures there when the magnate himself stepped in and put a ban them. Contracts were also to be signed for the showing of the pictures in Meriden Norwich and Winsted, but the ban was made gen. eral and includes New Haven. MT. Polls action is due to the increasing aRftstion against the pictures and a desire to meet without any pressure whatever the wishes of unprejudiced city officials.

Ruskin on Art Critics.

A. Stodart Walker tells of Ruskin throwing a large quarto at his head because he had dared to question the artistic excellence, in the matter of proportion. of Michael Angelo's Mo ses' in Rome. After the throwing was over he asked: How often have you seen it?' .'Oh. half dozen times," Stodart Walker answered with conf dence in his side as to the result of such a reminder. Good heavens Ruskin cried, mo man should dare to give an opinion on any work of art unless he has seen it every day for six months" adding after a pause,
 and even then he should hold his tongue if he has used his eyes as you seem to have used them"
