Mayor Mahan HeIns Mooses.


 Mayor Bryan F. Mahan, would-be democratic nominee for Congress from the third district, surprised his democra- tic friends Thursday night by going to the aid of the Bull Moose party. Ma hans assistance came just in time to prevent the breaking up of an open.air Roosevelt rally, at which Dr. Delmar E. Croft, of New Haven, was the principal speaker.
 The speaker had arrived at the climax of his eulogY of Roosevelt and the crowd of spectators were cheering widely when a corps of the Salvation Army entered upon the scene. Realizing probably that they had struck a good place to reap big harvest of sinners, the leader ordered a halt and the band struck up Every body's Doiug It." the Salvation ists accompanying with especially de- signed words.
 pr. Croft made several attempts to re- sume his speech, but the noise by the Salvation Army completely drowned out his words. Just when 1t looked as though the rally would be broken up, Mayor Mahan arrived. The prominent Bull Moosers rushed to him for help and he agreed to lntercede. Thanks, no doubt, to his remarkable personality, Mahan was successful in "shooing' away the Salvation Army people and thereby has earned for himself the last Ing regard of the New London Bull Moosers.
 Dr. Croft then spoke for another hour

The locals got in another run in the 8th inning making the score to 8 in favor of the home team.
 Olsen, the visiting twirler, pitched a good game but was Int hard at times. He struck out men and was touched up for l3 hits.
 Casey was on the rubber for the home team and had the Torrington boys guessing at all times. Although little wild at times he only allowed four hits off his delivery and struck out eight men.
 The battery of the home team was 0 feature. The work of the boys in the out field and in the in-fieId showed improve ment. With practice we can have a good team as we have had in past years.

MAKING i MAGNET.

The simplest way Of magnetizing .
par of steel is that known as single
touch" The bar to be magnetized Is
laid on the table and the pole Of
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length, always
IN the same direction. If the north
pole of the magnet is employed the end
Of the bar first touched will also be-
come north pole, while the opposite
end. at which the magnet is lifted be-
fore returning, will be a south pole.
There are other and more compli-
Gated methods. known as divided
touch and double touch" in which
two and even four magnets are en-
ployed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing 1t within a coil Of insulated
wire, through which a galvanic cur
rent is circulating. The magnetism In
duced in this way. however. is weak
compared with that which can be pro-
cured If the same strength Of current
Is employed through the Intervention
Of an electro magnet.

DisraeIi Placated CARLYLE.

Carlyle's opinion of Herbert Spencer
as ''the most amending ass in Christen-

junction with Carlyle's derision for
mankind in general. Mostly fools, !"
he cheerfully thought Of us all. Oar
win, we know. he would not have at
any price not word of him. Ruslxin
was a bottle of soda water "a bad
young man" was his sum-up Of another
eminent writer. But these hostile
phrases were subject to considerable
modification if the man against whom
they were aimed came near enough to
Carlyle to do him personal favor,
even to pay him personal compli-
ment. Disraeli, whom he had describ-
ed as mountebank dancing upon
John Bulls stomach, offered Carlyle a
baronetcy and ELECTED from him, to-
gether with a refusal Of the title, many
tributes to his magnanimity He said
very little about Disraeli henceforth in
print. and in private he spoke Of him
only as "a very tragical comical fell
low"

writer lived in Perryvillv and for 70 or
more years has lived within radius Of Is

wishing to pass through from New York,

would say the best and most conven
ieni route would be from Rising SIM

good road until Oak wood was reached,
one and half miles FROM Conowingo If
the State would appropriate the $40. 900
for reconstruction Of that shnr; piece OF

good accommodations for the comfort
