Running newspaper is just like
running hotel, only different. When
a man goes into hotel and finds some
thing thing that does not suit him, he
does not raise hades with the landlord
and tell him to stop his old hotel. Well
hardly, He sets that aside and wades
into the dishes that suit him. 1t Is
different with some newspaper read
ers. They find an article occasionally
that does not suit them exactly and,
without stopping to think 1T may please
hundreds of other readers, make a
grandstand play and tell the editor
how paper should be run. and what
should be put into it, but such people
are becoming fewer every year

DECLINE OF WoMANHooD.

DR. Max G, Scheapp, head of the de.
partment of neuropathology, post
graduate medical school of New York,
says: :,
The human family is breaking Itself
down. We are developing woman
hood that is becoming free of the In.
stintiye desire for motherhood, and
frequently without the capacity Tor
it. The racial strength of reproduc-
tion is declining.
Never has the world done its work
under such high tention as today.
The mistress of the home has as
many engagements as the master.
The woman who belongs to clubs and
societies, serves on committees, at
tends meetings and negotiates busi-
ness deals for the cause until she
trembles from excitement of it all is
spurred on by restless energy that
is due to disregard of mental and
physical hygiene.
The birth rate drops and OF the
children born the proportion of those
infirm increases, so at last we are
confronted with the proof that the
high speed effort of our daily lives
has brought suffering not only upon
ourselves but upon our children
Free women-as one might term
women of well-to-do families are
impelled by unremitting example and
perpetual commotion to activity.
We have here the first explanation of
the abnormally active woman. Gen.
tie women, naturally retiring and un'
assertive, become suffragists and suff-
ragettes, and stand boldly on a soap
box IN public square before motley
throng, to proclaim their demands.
uThe same women driven by the exin.
gencies of the hour, approve such
conduct on the part of their sisters as
that of breaking up meetings, storm.
ing and insulting public men in the
streets, throwing stones and mashing
windows. These conditions are only
an evidence of nervous distress that
has become universal.

CANVASS is SUCCESS.

Toledo, May supporters of the
bilant over a careful house-to-house
canvass of this city which is now vir-
tually complete.
The work has been done with
great care. In fact it has received
double check; Joint canvass be-
ing conducted by the Willys and Lib
hey Club and the Lucas County Taft
Club and results secured by each or
ganization practically tailed.
The representatives of the Taft
Willys-Libbey candidacy undertook
the work with a considerable degree
of optimism, but they were unques-
tionably influenced by the informa-
ton which had been industriously
circulated ever since last December
concerning the work done by the
Walter Brown machine In building
an organization; and, to a certain eX-
tent, they expected to find it neces-
sary to hunt for the Taft-Willys-Lib-
hey sentiment.
The precise opposite happened.
Men experienced in local politics
say that never before was a canvass
conducted with such remarkable
speed and with so little difficulty In
securing the desired information.
The voters did not resent the In
quiry into their intentions but met
| the inquirers more than half way.
this canvass WHY'S and Libbey
cards were presented and signed
literally as rapidly as they could be
handed out to the occupants o.

A Biz dition.

Some idea of the magnitude of one feature of the telephone industry in Connecticut alone may be gained from these facts concerning the telephone directory:
 A few figures, based on the coming issue of the Connecticut Telephone Directory, which is issued every three months, should be of interest to every one and are presented ou that theory. The issue, as used all over the state, will consist of 100000 books, each volume containing 544 pages, exclusive oC the covers, or total of 54, 100000 pages for the entire edition. If these books were spread out singly ,as closely as they could be placed, they would make d flooring of telephone directories one inch thick that would cover thirteen acres. If they were placed one on topOf the other, paper tower would rise towards the sky one and six-tenths miles high, a tower that would be lost in the clouds. If one were to separate the pages ard spread them out, they would form a blanket one and one-fifth miles square.
 Again, the total weight of the issue will be practically seventy five tons, the weight of single book being one and one-half pounds. In addition to the binding and printing of these directories, approximately one hundred and two thousand thumb holes must be cut and thousands of additions, corrections and other changes made, the total number for the last output being seven thousand five hundred and twenty seven.

Is There .Poisoner in the NeighbOr-
 hood of Elm Street2
 MT. H. B. Lyles' Scotch collie, "Hei- de- died Friday morning with symptoms of poisoning. He was heard to groan, in the night, and make an unusual noise something like bark and yet different, and Master Everett, who was awakened by the sound, called his father. MT. Lyles, however, thought that if there was anything wrong with the animal it was not serious, and no further atten- tion was paid to it. In the morning the dog was found dead.
 The animal had bad habit of snap ping at people and chasing vehicles that passed the house, and it is thought some body may have put it out of the way by the poison route.
 Just week before, @ pet cat belonging to the Lyles household, died, and it was thought at the time to have succumbed to the infrmities of age, but it is now considered probable that the cat also was poisoned.

He will prove one of the most valuable members of the club, though a special dispensation from the executive committee was necessary to admit him to full membership, on account of the fact that he IS bald only half the time. He has promised to make a speech at the banquet, which will take place during his wigs busy season,

TO ROB BADGLEY MARKET Intruder Lit Electric Light and the Reflection Gave
 Him Away.

At about 3:30 o'clock Thursday morn ing MT 0, E. Badgley, who sleeps on the porch out of the second story of his block on Railroad street, was awakened by flash of light against the Fuller block, close to his building, and in an instant he realized that it was 8 refec- tion from an electric light burner at the desk in his meat market, down stairs. Almost at the same instant the light went out, but after halfminute CT so the reflection came again.
 MT. Badgley quickly jumped out of bed and into his trousers, at the same time shouting:
 "What are you doing there !" As soon as he had fastened his trousers he got his revolver and loaded it as expeditiously as possible, then rushed, barefooted, down the stairs and into the market. He found the place deserted, but the desk light was burning and the back door was open. During all this time he did not hear a sound. The in truder must have sneaked out as silently as he had sneaked in. MT. Badgley re- membered that he had neglected to lock the back door when he left the market the night before.
 Nothing was missing nor disturbed by the visitor, and it is probable that he had been in the place only long enough to find the burner and light it, when his presence was known upstairs.
 MT. Badgley thinks the intruder was a local gentlemen who hoped to reduce the high cost of living by getting a supply of meat for nothing. He will name no names, but from his manner il is easy to infer that he has his own suspicious as to the identity of the guilty party.
 Earlier in the night, MT. Mayham who occupies the south part of the Badgley blCck, heard Badgley's dog chasing somebody or something out ot the back yard, aud it is thought probable that the would.be thief had made 2 former attempt and was frightened of by the dog.
