LEAVING CATS TO STARVE.

The number of cats left by people who go away for weeks and months in summer to shift for themselves here in New England is much greater than most people imagine; and it is so great that it is really a blot upon our humane pretenses.
 Concerning the habits of cat owners at this season of the year the Boston Traveller says:
 There seems to be a vague form less idea in the minds of a great many people that a house cat, turned out into the street, can get it's own living somehow. Don't cats live on mice and birds? So the householder, who wouldn't torture sparrow, and con tributes regularly to the contribution plate when it comes around in church, shuts the family cat out with the hope that it will be on hand in the fall, and goes with a clear conscience to the country.
 After a few days of puzzled attempt to get into the house whence it has received it's meals, the cat begins to starve and instinct sets it to work to get it's own food. But instinct, dor mant in goodness knows how many generations of housecats, is not the equivalent of skill and the animal finds that mice are not common on the streets and that birds are tremendous ly wise. After time he may consort with tramp cats and ward off actual starvation from heaps of refuse. More likely he dies quietly some beautiful hot night, or the agents of the anti cruelty society find him and give him the boon of a peaceful end''
 It would be much more humane to drown the cat than to leave her to become a yagrant with warrants fortune and fate before her.

Correct Dressing.

Correct dressing for a noon or after noon wedding, either at church or for the reception afterward, consists in wearing the same costume that would be selected for any formal reception or lat home" for unless the gown be black, and when that color is in vogue, it is always popular; a pale shace should be chosen, and the material may be of light weight cloth, such as chiffon broa dcloth. silk crepe de chine or any of the many fabrics of which "dressy'' frockS are now constructed.
 If a woman wears a skirt and coat costume, and it must be remembered that, however elaborately one is made it is never as dressy as a one-piece costume, the jacket must not be re- moved, no matter though the thermom- eter soar into the nineties.

pEMoNsTRATED HIS DEMOCRACY


 Peter Peterson, New Milford. Conn.,, blacksmith, who came to Amer ica as an alien half a century ago, shows in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of his residence here that he is a simonpure American repre- sentative of true democracy. He did not invite a few friends and acquaint- ances to help him celebrate, but just bade the entire popuIation of 1000 souls to a dinner and dance to sig nalize his appreciation of American opportunities and the thrift which had resulted from them.
 That was a fine and fitting way for this Scandinavian-Amer to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his joyous and successful advent into this Land of Opportunity. In Petersen's own words the fol- lowing indicates the reasons he has been successful and is happy over it: q gave a square deal to every man.
 "I sent Roosevelt an invitation but got no word from him.
 This country is the only place in the world for man to work in, live in. and die in.
 T am welded to this country heart and soul.
 Roosevelt, when he's ready for the ple esidency again, will have my vote- While shoeing horses I driftedi into tic pawnbroking business
 Peter Peterson's hearty manner of doing things is certainly true Amer jean way, and it is worthy of being oftener put into practice.

DISTRIBUTING THE REWARDS.

In the dawn of a new city govern ment by commission, so far as the present city charter will permit, we note that the political spoilsmen are in evidence and that there are several applicants for every place in the gift of the court of common council, and some Of them though experienced and competent for the office applied for are learning that the political wheels only turn backwards once in a while.

 AS The Bulletin Is not in the confi- derce Of the powers that be, it can- not vouch for the slato that is being talked up. Mir. Erroll c. Lfllibridge Is said to be booked for the street cormissfoaerzhip Executive Commit teenaan John R. Fowler for superin- tendent of Yantic cemetery; Council man Charles W. Briggs to represent the city government in the water board It is likely that Chief Stan ton will remain at the head of the fire department. It has not been an- nounced who will be made the super intendent of the water works but MT. Gilbert S. Raymond is said to be book ed for successor to Cashier William w. Ives in the water office, instead of MT. John J. Corkery, who has filled the place for several terms, and who Is a candidate.
 It doesn't make much difference to the minority in the premises. since they have no power to prevent the distribution of rewards. which are old fashioned; but which with the rightly drawn charter can be made to last forever and ever
 The public interest is intense over this matter. but the feeling in the camp of the victors among those who seek these appointments and their friends is said to be furious.
 The first issues in a new municipal administration are usually about as trying as any that follow, even if they are over such a trifling matter as the distribution of political offices by old political methods. They may all be referred to the executive committee and the suspense be continued while

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
If You Can't Be Honest, Be as Honest
 as You Can.

as You Can.
 MT. Editor: As Trumbull writing for the New York Sunday Herald, the editor of the New Haven Journal Courier is of course entitled to some leeway, but in his home paper he ought to be fair if not honest. He is quoted as trying to make the readers of his paper believe that Postmaster Marigold of Bridgeport and Postmaster Gaylord of Ansonia are in a class with J. Henry Roraback. He knows better. Both these gentlemen are republicans and willing at all times to aid the elec- tion of republicans, but, after many years acquaintance with them, I fail to remember either being advertised as captain of a craft with a crew in tent not on electing a republican over a democrat, for there is no democrat in the field for senator, but on down ing republican. When Fred Gaylord sets up as the paid captain of a craft to run the republicans of even New Haven county it will be time to talk of him in connection with J. Henry Roraback.
 When E. J. Hill was brought forward to down Senator Brandegee it was J. Henry Roraback that ostensibly led

OYSTER BAY AGAIN ON THE MAP

Oyster Bay is again on the map and Colonel Roosevelt and his family are at the old home on Sagamore HilI glad to be in its quiet and restfuI at mosphere.
 Saturday was a great day in New York, but the largest honors do not disconcert the ex-president who is used to excitement resulting from pop uiar endorsement. He returns in the best of health from one of the most marvellous years of work ever per- formed by an American. He has trav- eled over 17.00O miles by steamship, over 5000 miles by rail, 1900 miles on foot and twenty-five miles by canal, and besides making a great collection of animals and birds al a faunal nat urafist. he made in Egypt, Germany and England three of the greatest ad- dresses delivered during the present year.
 His brief address of acknowledgment and appreciation of attentions must have been disappointing to those who hoped that he would refer to the polit- ical issues of importance, or at lea st indicate where his political sympa- thies are at the present trending. but the most that was said was that he did not intend to speak upon any political issue the present season, and that if opinions were publicly attribut- ed to him that the public could rest assured that they were not genuine. So the country must wait for several months. yet. to learn what Roosevelt thinks of the issues which are divid- ing the republican party
 Roosevelt will rest at Oyster Bay for awhile and attend to the issuance of a book of his travels and to his regular editorial duties.

the fight, and now. when Senator Bulkeley is attacked, 1t is J. Henry Roraback to the front again
 Everyone that was conversant with the Hill campaign and knows that the same managers are to conduct the on- slaught against Senator Buikeleys Will expect to see rather disreputapie campaign, but there is no occasion for the editor of a respectable newspaper that claims to be independent in way to aid and abet the gang. George l. Allen is mentioned as another case in point. Whether it was true or not. there is no question but that George l. posed as having the republican vote Of Middlesex county in his pocket and no question but that he sold out himself and did the best he could to deliver the goods he purported to hold. Either the rule of the postoffice department as to postmasters taking a hand in politics should be rescinded or every postmaster of the J. Henry RorabaclS and George I. Allen stamp should be promptly bounced without waiting for terms to expire.

Canned PineappIes.

The com plete sterilization or ecald- ing in boiling water of jars, rubbers covers and all utensils used in the process of canning pineapple is nec- essary to insure preservation of the fruit.

Mix fruit and sugar and bring quickly to the boiling point in a porcelain-lined preserving kettle. Cook slowly 15 min- utes, can and seal.
