Tom" said one Of his friends, who
met him one night at Chamberlain's
then the most frequented restaurant IN
Washington, when are you going to
make your first speech?"
when l have something to say"
Ochiltree replied. 81 didn't come here
to hear myself talk"
A few evenings later, Ochiltree met
the same friend at the same resort,
and said: 81 am going to make a
speech pretty soon, and l know that it
will be heard not only in, but out OF
congress.
What are you going to talk about,
Tome the friend asked
81 am going to rise to question OF
personal privilege. Then l am going
to ask the speaker whether the house
of representatives. is going to play
second fiddle to a damned little clerk
in the treasury department"
Whats the matter, Tom?" his
friend asked.
We'll, l went to the sergeant-at-
arm office to get my months pay;
just at this time it would come in
rather handy. But the sergeant-aL-
arms told me that he hadn't any
money for me. l wanted to know why
and he told me would have to see
coro, ciarly dDu.r, l., +bo tr,o.,,r,- 40
partment; that he was powerless; he
hadn't got the money.
80 l went on a tour Of investiga-
ton and located that little clerk, who
informed me that my accounts as
United States marshal in Texas
hadn't been made good, that there was
a deficit, and that he was holding back
my pay as congressman until that
deficit was squared up. l made some
remarks to him. Now, tomorrow / am
going to ask the speaker whether a
little two-cent clerk in the treasury
department can hold up the pay from
a member of congress-"
But the next day Tom Ochlltree did
not make the speech. 1t was not nee.
essary. Just as he expected, the
house of rel resentadves overnight had
become greatly stirred up by a report
that a treasury clerk was holding up
the pay of member of congress.
IF Tom Ochiltree owes the govern
ment money, let the government sue
for it," his fellow members declared.
I'VE won't have a clerk in the treaus-
Try department interfering with our
rights and privileges" At once they
jammed the necessary resolution
and in a short time Tom
Ochiltree got his money without MAX
ing his speech.

BUILDINGS RAZEO IN NEW YORK CITY

According to Building Age, during
the last decade 5000 buildings have
been torn down on the island of Man
haitian alone for the purpose of max
ing way for more modern improve
ments. Some of these have been sim
gle buildings, such as the twenty
story Offender building at Wall and
Nassau streets, while again whole
examples of which are the site of the
present Hudson Terminal buildings,
the Grand Central station site, cover
ing almost half a square mile, the two
square blocks upon which the Penn
sylvania Terminal now stands, the
site of the mammoth WOOlworth
building and that of the Municipal
building, and the extensive demOli-
ton of buildings that occurred to
make way for approaches to the va
rious new bridges completed within
the last two years. According to the
statistics compiled in the Record and
Guide, the purchase in the last TWEEN
ty-one years of old buildings in New
York city by house wreckers or those
whose business consists, in part at
least in the demolition Of old build
ings, aggregated nearly S26,0O),OOO,
Of which amount practically $5,OOO,OOO
was the wrecking value of the build
ngs demolished in 1909. Eight years
ears ago, according to the authority
lamed, there were only seven house
grecking companies in the city, while
0day there are 200 Some idea Of
Grecking values may be gathered
rom the fact that the hospital build
ug at Twenty-third street and Lex
ngton avenue was sold to a wrecling
company for $3.50 with the under
standing that it would be removed
from the site in twenty-one days IT
proved TO have a steel grillage foun-
dalton worth $500. The same com
pany began on June ! to tear down
the Hospital for the Ruptured and
Crippled, the Grand Central Palace
and twenty other four and fve-story
buildings in that vicinity, all repre-
senting a wrecking value of about
10000 The Gillender building al

at the nurse; but she did not see

CHINAS TANGLED AND
ITS ACTUAL POPULATION

China, by the school books familiar
to men now of middle age, was a
country of amazing population and of
cities the greatest in the world. Over
40O,0OO,O00 was the population com
monty credited to China proper, and
/ if anybody mentioned London as the
largest city of the world a strong ex-
Iception was always made in favor of
! Picking. Fifty and more years ago
that city was commonly referred to as
having over 100000 people, and as
late as thirty years ago it was given
at least 100000, while China proper
was given around 3SO,OOOOOO.
Now, however, something like a
count has been had of the population
of the Chinese empire. 1t was com
pleted by the Chinese Board of Inter
Tor some months ago, and the results
have just reached the state depart
ment at Washington from the Ameri-
can minister to China, William J. Cal
houn The count was made by fami-
lies and not by individuals and there
has been dispute for years over the
size Of the average Chinese family.
Some authorities have placed it as low
as three and even less-strange cal
culation for so popuous a region;
others have placed it as high as six.
The official figure for census purposes
is So and on that estimate the pres
ent population Of the empire foots up
as follows:
China, proper .............304,0O3,OOO
Metropolitan district, in
Guiding Picking ......... 5,67l,OOO
Manchuria .............. 100000
Hsinchtang .,.....,..... 2,49l 900
Manchu military organiza-
ton ......,.........., 10000
Dependencies ......... 100000
Total ................ 329, $40. 600

The night force breakfasted at two

They were just in time Prescott's

throwing the last things into his
valise. He faced the two men who
had entered without waiting for the
answer TO their knock.

said.

found it thoroughly efficient and
never objected to by children,

All Connecticut League Preferred.
From this field of observation. it be-
gins TO look as If q basketball league
with four Massachusetts teams and
only two from Connecticut would not
stir up whirlwind of interest in Dan
ielson and vicinity. The class that it
is necessary to attract in order to in
sure a success for such an organiza-
ton fails to enthuse at all in this town.
An all-Connecticut league would be
more certain of receiving support in
Danielson, which is rated a good basll-
etball town. If Putnam. Willimantic
Danielson. Jewett City and Norwich
and possibly New London, should form
q league there would be some chance
of making a go of it. There apparent
~ is no such chance with four out Of

ard. who died in Wauregan Sunday,
were held in that place Wednesday
afternoon. Rev. f.. F. Talmadge of the
Congregational church officiating. MIR.
Leonard was one of the best known
residents of the village. He had been
for 25 years with the Wauregan COM
pany, and was overseer of the cardlng
department in their mill. He came to
Wauregan from Montville. He leaves
three sons Edward of Grosvenordale,
Ira of Wauregan and Ernest of Occurn.
Burial was in Westreld cemetery,

Making Telephone Changes.
Employees of the Southern New Eng
land Telephone company have COM
menced the work of removing the ring
ing apparatus a the many stations in
the Danielson division. This will take
some time, as there are several hum
bred stations and the, work to be done
at each is considerable. The new sys-
tenn is working smoothly. although
there has been some trouble on GER
tain lines, these being given prompt
attention. Some telephone users con-
tinue to forget and ring when calling
central. but this practice grows less
day by day.
500 q Month Offered for Saloon Rent
Just how badly some places are
"
ness in Danielson is indicated by an
offer of $100 a month for a certain
store on one of the side streets in the
borough. This price is about double
the normal rental charge for the store,
but is evidently based upon a prospect
for business and profits that seems to
warrant such a heavy fixed charge.
Danielson is not a metropolis. and 800
month is some rent in this town.
Few buslnesses now established here
could stand such an item of expense,
in connection with many others. This
is the most striking offer yet heard of
for a place, but rents have been jump
ed meteorically for places where sa
looms have previously been located.
Columbus Day Schedule.
Today Thursday will be sort of
mid week Sunday in Danielson. Most
of the stores will close at 8 o'clock this
morning. This arrangement Is due TO
the fact that there is great local in
terest in the Columbus day celebration
at Putnam, where IL big Gremens mus
