and is therefore 10th to offer him
any advice; nevertheless, as a well
wisher it feels free to suggest at the
beginning of campaign which
seems absolutely certain to termi.

he should studiously avoid the dan.

Register.
Yes, Woodrow would do better to
take this advice. especially in regard
to the tarin question. on several
other subjects he should. say as lit
tie as he can. A nominee for the
presidency in whom his supporters
have such little faith as is here
shown is, as the Register says. apt
to slip up in his speech occasionally
when talking off-hand. The Dem
ocratic party has been committed in
a dozen different ways on multi
=tude of subjects so far this summer
and 1t is in hard straights. 1t is
high time to put the gag to Its fan
nel-mouthed promisors.

Lost Vote.

The Wheeling Inteligencer editor.
tally calls attention to the fact that
the judiciary committee of the ma.
tional House of Representatives, OF
which Congressman John w. Davis
is a member, has voted not TO report
to the Congress at this session a
bill said to have been introduced by
Mr.. Davis regarding railroad work
mems compensation. AS the com.
mittee is dominated by Mr.. Dayis's
Democratic brethren who are doml.
mated by the Democratic caucus, the
Intelligencer points out that the vote
to which the First West Virginia
congressional district Is entitled was
practically lost and deduces the fol.
lowing moral from the situation:
. The moral is, elect a Republican
majority in the House of Representa-
tives and the railroad workmen'E
compensation act, originally Re.
publican measure, first advocated
and recommended by President Taft
himself, will Become law. Mr.
Davis sits for the purpose of adding
one vote to the strength OF the Dem,
ocratic caucus, and the Dmocratii
caucus is ruled by men who come
from states like Georgia. Florida
Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas
The Fist district in West Virginia

A pledge Well Kent.

An editorial in the Fairmont West
virginian shows in nutshell what
has been accomplished by the Re-
publican party in the fulfillment of
its promise made in 1895 to replace
Democratic adversely and adminis-
trative failure with prosperity and
competent government, as follows:
The pledge has been SO amply
fulfilled that the favorable results
are beyond what was expected. Fig
ures of expansion since 1897 make
an unequalled. sohwIng. If the Re-
publican party is displaced in No
vember 1t will be with this record of
unexampled good times and broad
national development.
Some things the party has accom-
plished were not included in its
pledges, because they were not fore
seen as issues of the near future.
Among the events not looked for
was a war with Spain. 1t was ably
carried through and paid for. The
building of the Panama canal was
outside the range of definite calcula-
ton in 1896. 1t is nearing compile
ton, and half its cost so far has
been met from current funds. Out

have been put in good working or

the Philippines was we'll managed.

The KiIlinp ID Conrersation.

In the September number OF the
American Magazine. Ida N. Tarbell
declares that one of the most dis
astrous effects Of preoccupation with
the things and the labors of the
household is the killing of CONVERSE
ton. She amplifes the thought as
follows:
There is perhaps no more weak
ness in the average American family
than guinness! The silent newspa-
per-reading father, the worried
watchful mother, the surly boy, the
iretful girl, these are characters typ.
ical in both town and country. In
one of Mrs. Daskam Bacon's lively
Gales, "Ardelia in Arcadia" the lit
tie heroine is transplanted from a
lively. chattering, sweltering New
York street to the maddening silence
Of an overworked farmers cable.
After standing It as long as she can
she cries out. 'fFor Gawd's sake.
TALK"
One secret OF the attraction of the
city over the country or small town
for the young is contact with those
who talk, They are conscious of a
freedom they have never known
the freedom to say what rises to the
lips. They experience the I'M
known Joy of play or the mind
According to their teaching the
tongue and mind are TO be used only
when needed for serious service; to
keep them active, to allow them to
perform whatever nlmble teats their
owners faucy-this Is a revelation!
Free family talk is sometimes
ruined by a mistaken effort to direct
1t according to some artificial no
lions of what conversation means.
Conversation means free giving OF
what is uppermost in the mind. The
more spontaneous it Is the more in
teresting Iand genuine 1t is. Ut is
this freedom which gives to the talk
of the child its surprise and. often,
its starting power to set one se:,'s..Ak-
ing. Holding talk to some severe
standard or consistency, dignity or
subject is sure to stiffen and hamper
it. There could have been nothing
very free or joyful about talking &C
cording to program as the ladies OF
the eighteenth century salons were
more or less inclined. Good CONVEX
sation runs like water, nothing IS
foreign to it. 'aFarming Is such an
uninteliectual subject" l. heard a
critical young woman say to her hus-
band. whose tastes we're bueoiic,
The young woman did not realize
that one of the masterpieces of the
greatest of the worlds writer's was
on farming-most practical farming,
too! That which relates to the life
of each, interests each, concerns
each-that is the material for con-
versation, If it is to be enjoyable Or
productive. ~

SEA BREEZE ISLAND

This evening at the spacious Sea Breeze Island ball room in response to popular demand a prize waltz will be held. This is the first event of the sort at the Island since the mem orable prize waltz on Elks night. There have been numerous requests for such an attraction and arrange ments were made yesterday to give substantial cash prizes to the en- trants who are selected by conpe- tent judges as the most graceful walters.
 Another event of note in the Sea Breeze ball room will be souvenir night, which will take place on Fri day. The ball room is increasing in popularity, particularly of late, since the introduction of free dancing ev- cry afternoon except Saturdays and holidays. With Knablin's novelty orchestra and it's attractive environ ment and brilliant illumination, the ball room is without a. peer among Connecticut amusement resorts.
 Saturday, Owls Day, promises to be another big day at the Island. Mem bers of the rapidly growing frater- nal organization from all parts of the state will visit Sea Breeze for the annual field day and outing. Sev- eral thousand members are expected.
 Extensive plans are under way to make Labor Day among the banner days of the season.

"MEhDAClOUS FRAME-UP" SAYS CHANCELLOR DAY OF
 ROOSEvELT'S ATTITUDE
Refusal of Money Already Spent
 Cost His Party Nothing.

New York. Aug 2s.-That John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Com pany told him and certain other friends 'in confidence" the story he recently told under oath of the Stand ards $10O,000 contribution to the Roosevelt campaign fund and the re- fusal of the company to give uP $150,000 additional, is the declaration of Chancellor Day, of Syracuse Univ ersity, in letter to the New York Times, Day also says that Colonel Rooseve K's letter to Chairman Cortel- you, refusing Standard Oil cash was written because Judge Parker had publicly charged that the great trusts were furnishing money to elect Roosevelt. In conclusion, Day says:
 Was there eyer a more mendacious frame upi than this refusal of money that had been given and spent and the $150,000 that had been refused :? Nothing could have been more oppor- tune. It cost nothing. It left the door open which, Colonel Bliss, with MT. Roosevelt's consent had closed, much, however, to the chagrin of MT. Bliss, and it answered Judge Parker"

EMBARGO PARTLY RAISED ON SUNDAY
 MAIL DELIVERIES
Hitchcock Says New Rule Will Benefit Postal ERlployes
 Greatly

Washington, Aug. 2S-The <post- office department, today, issued an order. slightly relaxing the Sunday embargo" against delivery of mail at first and second class offices. Car rier window deliveries on the Sabbath will not be made, but the Sunday closing orders are construed to give lock-box patrons access to their mail.
 Drastic reform in the Railway Mail Service is also ordered, to facilitate Sunday delivery of emergency" mail matter.
 Hotel guests and newspapers are given special consideration. Such mail will be specially sorted at original mailing points and on trains. both on Saturday nights and Sundays, to effect practically instantaneous de- livery upon arrival at destinations. There is a postal myth a ruling that such mail is "in transit until actually delivered.
 That the relaxed orders will give practically no inconvenience to busi- ness or the general public was the declaration of Postmaster General Hitchcock.
 As almost all business houses are closed on Sundays, little objection is anticipated" said Hitchcock "The new orders will result merely in clos ing the General Delivery windows, also of course, no carrier delivery will be made, but that has been the rule for a year. The new law will greatly benefit postal employees, especially the distributors formerly held for Sunday work.;

MONEY GIVEN AWAY.

Powell, the land auctioneer. has ad- vertised to give away absolutely free to the people who attend the great auction sale of "Fairview Lawn" house lots out North Main street way tomorrow, also Friday and Saturday. $3, 900 in money and silverware-and the best of it all is that you need not buy a single thing to get a present. "Fairview Lawn" Is being developed by Burr & Knapp, and is not owned by out-of-town spectators; they have instructed the auctioneer to sell with out reserve or limit in price to- the highest bidder and on the easy terms of $10 down $5 a month. Did you ever stop and think what rent means it means that you buy the house you live in every seven years-lt means that you pay the interest on the land lords investment, his taxes, insurance, cost of repairs, incidentals and then his profit, and that profit IS never less than six per cent; and sometimes 1t IS 200 per cent MT. Powell has sold more building lots at auction than any two men in the world combined, and has sold lots from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the St Law renee to the Gulf. Go out tomorrow and hear MT. Powell even though you do not care to buy and get present absolutely free as the air you breathe. The sale starts promptly at O'CLOCK on the property in mammoth water proof tent.

TWO COMPLETE SHOWS WITH FEDERAL JUDGE
 AS SOLE SPECTATOR
Theatre Will Look Like Waterbury Playhouse the Week Before
 Christmas.

New York, Aug. 2s.-With only a federal judge as the audience, two plays will be presented within a few days in the Republic Theatre by Da- vid Belasco. Each will;be given. in it's entirety and at the conclusion, Judge Holt will decide whether. the successful play, The Woman" cred ited to David Belasco and William c: De Mile, is in reality plagarized version of the play Tainted Phiian- thropy,'' submitted by Abraham Gold knopf to Belasco, more than year ago and later sent back to the auth or as unsuited for stage production.
 Goldknopf is suing Belasco for $10O,O0O for the alleged theft of his play. Belasco offered to produce both plays for the court to decide whether the suit is well founded and Judge Holt accepted the offer with the re- ,gtriction that no one but the actors and himself were to witness the per- formaflce.
 Corse Payton says the judge will look like the audience of a Waterbury theatre the week before Christmas.

POLI'S

This week the PoIi Players are pre-
 enting a comedy which has never been seen in Bridgeport before and in fact very few times in any stock house on account Of the high royalty, de- nanded for it's presentation The story concerns that of q young Am erican who has fondness for making unusual bets and in an exciting argu- ment with stage rallies his youth eul buoyancy leads him into making an impulsive grotesques wager, and supported by Spike Mullins" real scientific cracksman from London, finds himself trapped in the first house he enters, which happens to be the residence of the Inspector of Police, who recognizes Spike laborins dil- igently to keep --up his deception with one contingent and as energetically endeavoring to establish his inno- cence with the other, the author takes him through four rapidly moving acts of changing situa tions, before the final pleasing announcement is reached. A wide diversity of characters are intro- duced, and a very pretty romance IS interWoven in the plot.
 The scenes are laid in New York and the time Is the present and sim gularly enough the story contains character which might easily have been formed from the personality composite no doubt-but still the per sonaHty of commanding figures in the police department of. America's great est city MT MeIrose and the rest of the company are all congenially cast this week and judging from the business the first two days of the week the banner business of the engagement will be recorded. Next Tuesday night the fourth and last of the beautiful $500 Stuitz Bros. pianos will be given away. Don't fail to get your cou- pons all this week.

COLONIAL BALL ROOM

The. Colonial Ball room in Fairfield avenue which has been closed during the summer season will be reopened for the winter with a social Saturday evening and the usual Saturday even ing socials will be continued through out the season. This will be pleasing news to the dancing loving young peo- pie of the city, and another announce ment by Prof. D. c. Guilty, lessee, will be equally welcome, that he has re- engaged the McEnelly Orchestra which made such hit here last winter for a series of visits the first one com ing early in October The McEnellys play and sing and the music is of unusual excellence as the thousands who attended last winter will attest.
 During the summer some alterations have been made in the bali room which will add to it's convenience and make it more adaptable for all kinds of large assemblies. concerts. weddings, etc. This is the removal of the coat room from it's former location at the head of the stairs to the upper floor of Hobby. and converting the space it occupied into a reception room. This will give a wide and comm cd ious landing at the top of the stairs and prevent any congestion in entering or leaving the hall In addition to this alteration other minor changes have been made for the comfort of patrons. the ball room has been thoroughly rem ovated, decorations renewed where necessary, and everything placed in spick and span shape for the coming season s The Colonial ball room is without doubt the handsomest in New England, and Bridgeport is foftunate to have such a handsome and convent ent place for large popular assemblies. It is particularly adapted to large con- certs and affairs at which large seat ing capacity is required, an dthe danc- ing floor has space clear of posts of 60 by 100 feet, the largest in the city. MT. Guilty already has numerous rem tals for the winter season, some of them extending into the middle of the season. "A

 According to story circulated here today. there is friction between Char ley Ebbets and George Solomon on one side and MeGinnity and H. Clay Smith on the other. Smith has al- ways worked in harmony with the Iron Man. but it is understood he would not be opposed to stepping out of the club.
