In1pariaI Splendor.

Visions of empire have seized the new British king, who, not content with being crowned only at Westmin- ster like his predecessors since Henry VI retired discomfitted in the fifteenth century from France, where the Eng dish kings had claimed sovereignty, proposes to be crowned emperor of In dia at Delhi that ancient capital of the Indian princes. King George will be crowned at Delhi in 1912 and there Queen Mary, the ambitious one, will be hailed Empress of India, with ign- perial circumstance and pomp.
 So far, then, from witnessing the ascendency of democracy in Great Britain, we observe the growth of inn perialism. No longer is King George to be content with empty titles of em- pire, attainable by mere kings, but he will be crowned king of kings like the shahs and caliphs. khans and mahara- jahs, and all the splendid potentates of the Orient. William, Victoria, Edward, these never thought to journey by the high seas to their far-f1ung dominions An innovation, then, we are promised and one that may aippease the hunger of the crawling millions of India by the very splendor of the coronation.- Detroit News.

Cutting thn Cost

A big grocer in New York has de- cided to reduce the cost of living 20 per cent. without waiting for the gov ernment to revise the tariff or bust the trusts.
 This is how he does it: Sells only on cash basis, thus saving the an nual expense of S30,000 for collecting and bookkeeping
 Customers who want to maintain a running account deposit cash and are credited four per cent. interest on the unusued balances. He abelishes free deliveries, charging five per cent. on all goods sent to the customers house AS he formerly figured twenty per cent as cost of delivery, the customer is ahead to the tune of fifteen per cent
 He slashed twenty per cent. from the price of all goods on the day that this system was put into praice A saving Of one-f1fth of the grocery bills of the nation would add very materi- ally to the comfort of life in millions of homes
 If the plan works in New York, why isn't 1t workable anywhere else? Any how, you don't have to wait for con- gress to act before you can try this way Of reducing the cost of living New Haven Times Leader.

Cabbage" College Commencement Or.
 afiou

The commencement oration of one of the students at Tuskegee last May was upon cabbages. It was a subject l that he understood and made inter- esting. He had the product with him on the stage, cabbages of exception ally fine quality which he had raised himself. tracing the various stages of progress from preparing the soil and selecting the seed to the object les son presented for the inspection of his audience In his story he made use of what he learned in composition
 grammar, mathema tics and agricul- ture. He knew his subject thoroughly and handled it so well that an ap- plauding audience rewarded his effort whimsical definition of cauiflower is a cabbage with q college eGuca- tion." The Tuskegee boy showed how 1t could receive that and still remain a cabbage though a king of it's class. It is with such honely illustrations that Booker Washington takes the reader with him over the new paths that he has been blazing through what he has helped to make very promis- ing territory. He believes in making the foundations strong, trusting to the rearing of the superstructure in good time.-Boston Transcript.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MATERIAL LOSSES
Throughout the List-Stoek Sentiment
 Takes Pessinistic Turn.

New York. Dec. 2.-The reactionary movement with which the week in the stock market began was continued to- day, material losses being registered throughout the list. Sentiment hae apparently taken e very peSsinisttc turn and evidence was forthcoming to account for today's' setback. It seems clear that the market had long de- pended for sustenance on the opera tions of professional traders, many of whom have now grown discouraged at the general trend Of conditions.
 In various lines of trade, more par ticularly the steel industry, these con- ditions are not calculated to inspire confidence, and tho ease with which prices have crunlbled away offers strong proof that recent efforts to cre- ate bullish sentiment have been abor- tive. Rumors were current today that the pool which is commonly supposed to have engineered the recent upward nrov ement had dissolved, leaving a large part Of It's holdings, estimated into the hundreds of thousands of shares, unsold.
 As an offset to adverse factors ru- mors were current that President Taft's forthcoming message would be "safe and sane" and nothing in the way of radical legislation will be at tempted during the short session of congress. Advlces from various cen ters of activity were of negative char acter. when not denottng an arrested movement. Following yesterdays a11- uouncenent of the suspension of an old established cotton house came the news today that 9 prominent local i'm porting firm had found it necessary to ask an extension of it's credits.
 Recovery was made in the stock market during the final hour and some fractional gains were shown, but this was due in a measure to short cover ing. London'S operations here were moderately extensive for both accounts the balance probably representing pur- chases of about 1o,100 shares. Euro pean markets were Arm, with strength in the better grade securities.
 Notable among the unsatisfactory railway returns for October was that of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul road, with net loss of over S500OO0 The Pennsylvania, Rock fsl- and New Haven, Erie. Boston and Maine and Norfolk and Western lines all reported more or less extensive losses in the same item.

FAMILY CAT
Nearly Caused a Death in an Ansonia
 Family.

The family cat nearly caused the death of Joseph Blacknan, by gas asphyxiation, yesterday morning. MT. Blackman lives on South Cliff street with his mother and sister and occu- pies rooms on the lower floor. The other sleeping apartments are on the upper floor, and the rest of the family were not affected by the gas which nlled the lower rooms when Mrs. Biackman awoke yesterday morning. The odor of gas was spreading through the house when Mrs. Blackman de- scended to the kitchen, where the gas range was belching forth the deadly fumes
 Shutting off the gas she opened the windows and awakened her son, who appeared to be in a daze. Mr. Black man arose with difficulty and reach Ing an outer room fell unconscious to the floor. Dr. E. K. Parrnelee was hastily summoned and after some difficulty MT. Biackman was revived 1t was not until today that MT. Black man recovered from his experience
 The gas, 1t was thought, had been turned on only five or ten minutes One Of the shut-offs on the stove is said to work loosely and the family eat is believed to have jumped on the stove and accidentally turned on the gaS. Had not Mrs. Biacklnan awak- ened when she did. and made an in Vestigation. it is likely that Mir. Black man, whose room was near the kitch- en, would have been suffocated-A sonia Sentinel

The Chief Justiceship.

The report is gaining currency in well informed circles of the adnlinis- tration that President Taft has about decided to appoint Justice and ex- Governor Hughes chief justice to fill the vacancy on the supreme bench created by the death of Chief Justice Fuller. Action is expected by the president on his return from Panama.
 The country, no doubt would ap- plaud the elevation of Justice Hughes to the highest place which any jurist in the world can reach. In the very nature of the supreme court, that tri- bunal must assume and exercise pow CTS which are semi-political. It is so vital a part of the federal government that it cannot escape coloring more or less the development of American poli- tics and the trend of American national life.
 It is vital, therefore, that this high tribunal should be in sympathy with the soundest and most advanced Ideals of the American people. It is essential also that the court should have the respect and the confidence of the peo- pie as an agency for the interpretation of the constitution and the shaping of legislation under the provisions of our organic law
 Justice Hughes has both the under standing of popular ideals and the es teem and trust of the public which every justice needs to make his ser vices as valuable as they ought to be Wa shington Herald.

The Sympathetic Fat Clerk.

I've learned one thing" said the stout woman who had been out all day trying on suits, and that is to go to a fat clerk when I want sympathy and satisfaction in getting a garment for myself. Everybody knows how hard it is for a woman whose dimen- sions are somewhat ample to get ready made clothing, but I believe to- day that ' have solved the problem. Heretofore I have encountered slim. rsil-like, snippy clerks who, when l asked for a suit looked me up and down, and said condescendingly I'll see, madame, but I am afraid VIC have nothing large enough But today the clerk from whom I purchased my
 veIcet suit was as large as I am and she eheered me on by telling me of the difficulties she encountered in get ting ready made suits and she was absolutely tireless in her efforts to suit me After this, if I don't see stout clerk in a store I'll move on to the next, and my advice to all big women is to do likewise.

Before a crowd of about two hun dred, in the Dime theater in Baltic on Friday night, Joe Monty of Occum Wrestled with Young Gotch of Willi- mantle. and, although Gotch won out, getting two out of three falls, it was conceded by all that this was the toughest proposition he has been up against yet Monty showed strength, science and quici1ness from start to finish, and was on top and taking the aggressive most of the, time. Monty had a splendid style and made bet ter impression on the audience than Gotch did. Kid Wilson refereed and Gus Lambert officiated as tinekeeper.
 Young Gotch secured the first fall with a full nelson, in just twenty minutes; the second fall was won by Monty in ten minutes, with half nelson and a body hold; and in the third fall Gotch was the victor turn ing the trick after thirty-five minutes with a body hold.
 There was one preliminary match, betW cen Young Monty of Occun and Joe Layoda of Baltic. Young Monty dislocated the third fir ger on his right hand, and, after ten minutes of wrest- ling, in which both showed up about even, the match was stopped, being called a draw. It is not definitely known how Young Monty chanced to he caught his finger in the trunks that Lavada was wearing.
 Peter Brew of Fall River, Mass. was present at the match and before it began he threw out a challenge to Monty, win or lose, and was accepted. The match will take place in Occum next Friday night. Monty is now in the care of Collins, who is going to put him through a thorough course of training.

Aspirants for Executive Secretary.

The governor elected in Connecti- cut two years ago found but two real ly available young men for appoint ment to the executive secretaryship. One of these was MT. Julin, who serv- ed so successfully under Governor Woodruff; the other was Mir Good win, whose guberna torial campaign has just ended Although democrats have been considered somewhat rare in this state, Governor elect Baldwin is able to contemplate a field of equal quality and greater area. A New Ha- ven letter to The Hartford Courant names as aspirants from that place Attorney Charles G. Morris, son of the last democratc governor, and Innis G.
 Osborn, son of Col. Norris G. Osborn, while Hartford offers Charles Wells Gross and Alvin w Hyde, both of Gross, Hyde & Shipman. That is d quartette of excellence. If the gov ernor- elect is able to find such wealth of good material for the rest of his appointments he will be for tunate indeed.-Waterbury American.

Goveroor Baldwin.

It Is of the opinion of the Meriden Record that when Judge Baldwin is Governor Baldwin he will not deprive himself of sleep or overload his stom- ach for the express purpose of pleas ing those who may want him to grace their board with his presence In rIain English, 1t thinks lie will not oe a governor who makes as much Of the social side of official life as some others. It is probably true that he win not sing The Old Oaken Bucket" as often as one of his predecessors. or keep such open house as one or two others. He is likely to apply himself seriously to the duties of the office and not to interfere unless he has a good reason. But there are two saw ing clauses: He has accepted the in vitation to the governors ball and he will have the usual decorative staff. Hartford Times.

 INTERNATIONAL CONCERT
May Result from Burritt Celebration
 at New Britain.

An informal conference Of repre- sentatives of the various nationalities was held last week In the City hall, New Britain, at the call of Rev H. A. Jump chairman of the Burritt day committee, and s. H. Holmes of the Commonwealth club. The object was to inquire into the possi bilities of the cooperation of the various nationaIi- ties along lines which brought so much pleasure Burritt day. It was decided in informal conference to invite the naitonalities to participate in concert of all nations some time this winter
 perhaps on Lincolns birthday. It was decided to invite the thirty or forty national societies in New Britain to choose each 9, representatives to serve on a committee for arranging the pro- posed international concert This for mally chosen committee will consider in detail whether such a project will succeed and if so necessary arrange ments will be made.

GOING TO LEAVE FOR TEXAS.
MGraw and Owner Brush of Giants
 Will Go There at Once.

Both John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, and Hal Chase, leader Of the HighlanderS, are preparing to do the Beat It. act. The Little Napoleon intends to accompany John T. Brush, owner of the Giants, when that mag mate heads for San Antonio this week. King Hal In a fortnight will make tracks for San Jose. Cal, a city in which he is not Q stranger.
 McGraw goes to Texas on business, while Chase's journey to the Slope IS
 made for the purpose of renewing his acquaintance with relatives and friends there. The commander Of the Lowland forces will not stay in San Antonio for
 more than three or four days. From that place he will push on to Marlin, which again will be the training camp of the Giants. The team will practice on grounds owned by the club next spring, the citizens of Marlin having deeded tract of land to the club. Me- Graw will be on the job, with John Murphy. the ground keeper of the Polo grounds, when that individual starts to lay out the diamond in the new rark in Marlin for fortnight. Murphy start ed for Texas two weeks ago refusing an offer made by the New York club to pay his expenses as the guardian, on it's voyage by sea, of John T. Brush's touring car. The ground keep CT went on the 'briny deep once and never has forgotten his experience.
 The gift oi a tract of land by the citizens of Marlin to the Giants, to be used as a training place annually, is in recognition of the New York Na- tional league club making Marlin gen- erally known throughout the country. The Giants did not dicover Marlin as a training camp. That honor belongs to some one in the employ Of the Cin- cinnati club. The Reds trained there In the spring Of 1906. 8 scribe got ty- phoid fever and word was sent far and wide that Marlin was a spot to be avoided.
