CAPTURE GIANT SEA-cOW
Nj dster Taken by Fishermen Weighs 5000 Pounds and Is Twelve
 Feet Long.

Point Isabel, Tex-Mexican fisher men had an exciting encounter with a manatee. giant sea-cow, in the shal- low water of the Laguna Madre near here recently. It was captured only after one of the men, Ramon Rodri- gueZ, had been seriously hurt by one of its fiippers.
 The creature was 12 feet long and weighed more than 5000 pounds It is being kept alive and promises to sur vive for some time.
 The sea-cow is supposed to have come up from the more southern wa ters of the gulf. It entered the Lagu- na Madre at the pass which separates the island from the mainland and was seen by the fishermen struggling in shallow part of the strip of water.
 A boat with three men went out to capture it. When ther got close to it Rodriguez climbed out of the boat and attempted to put a rope around the manatee's fins and was knocked un- conscious by a blow from one of it's fippers. He would have drowned had he not been dragged into the boat by his companions. The rope was finally fastened and the manatee was towed ashore. 1t Is the second of it's kind captured in the Laguna Madre in the last few weeks.
 These animals are quite numerous along the coast 150 to 200 miles south of here. They are adapted to both salt and fresh water. strange feature of their appearance in the waters along he coast is that they are usually ac- companied by school of sea devils, great sec monsters frequently weigh ing as much as 4,500 pounds each. One of them when harpooned has been known to drag 20 boats, hitched tan dem, each carrying two men.
 Such an experience came two or three years ago at Aransas Pass to a party of fishermen among whom were John w. Robbis, then state treasurer; ". c. Sterrett, present state game, fish and oyster commissioner, and J. w. Maxwell of Austin, noted big game hunter and fisherman. They were fishing just off the little town of Tarpon when sea devil of extraordi- nary size came to the surface near one of the boats. A boatman sank harpoon deep into its body, the har- poon being secured to the boat by a line. The sea devil made off at light ming speed. AS the boat to which it was attached passed the boats each threw line, and 20 other boats, carry ing 40 men, were lowed by the giant animal. They had stuck to it for six hours, when 1t headed out toward the ocean. Then the men raised the sig nal of distress and a life-saving crew on Harbor island rowed out and shot the monster.

BUSINESS UNDISIUBfD.

The country is showing the ut most confidence in the ability and judgment of the Democrats in re- vising the tariff downward in ac- cordance with the Democratic pledges and the usual business check occasioned by tariff legisla- ton has not been noticed this year and it does not seem that there will be the slightest check to our present prosperity by reason of the Democratic tariff bill. On the other hand industries are showing unusual activity in all lines, and when the bill becomes a law all business will be helped.

ONCE NOTED BEAUTY IS ILL
Jean Duff, Tubercular, Sent Back to Native Honolulu by People of
 PhiIadetnhia

Philadelphia-The three Hawaiian children of Jean Duff, once world fa- nous as an artists model, will give a Honolulu yard party and many of the most fashionable people in Philadel- phia will be present to hear the music of the guitars and the Ukolele and buy beads which the children will sell to help take their father and mother back to Honolulu and into the sunshine of the Pacific isles.
 Jean Duff has contracted consump tion from her Kanaka husband and doctors say that the only hope of say. ing their lives rests in an immediate return to the Hawaiian islands. In her youth in Philadelphia, Jean Duff, child model and the idol of the artists. was Little Mother" to ten other chil. dren. They grew up and passed from her charge and all forgot the good hearted little girl who had cherished them. Society lost track of Jean Duff when she went to the west and trav- eled on the stage.
 After her marriage in Hawaii she returned here with her husband klah- lili and a baby. Two children were born later and the family earned their livelihood by giving Hawaiian music. Jean suppressed her identity, which was only learned when a physician. who was called to attend her. found a weak, emaciated shadow of the ia nous young beauty. The doctor re- membered her face at a glance and Philadelphia society resolved to help Jean and her little c~es by the yard party, which will be typically Ha. waiian.

PRAYER BOOK RARE RELIC
LaWrenceburg, Tenn, Woman Has Manual Blessed by Pope Urban
 Vlll.-Wss Printed in 1647.

Bristol, Tenn-A rare relic of an tiquity possessed by Mrs J. H. Caruth- CTS of Lawrenceburg, Tenn, is a Ger man Catholic prayer book which was printed in 1647 with the approval of Pope Urban VIII. The lids are of wood and this accounts for the excel lent state of preservation of the book at this late day.
 Although many of the pages are worn. most of the type is still distinct and clear. This relic came to Mrs Caruthers through her father, Conrad French, who died twenty years ago. He came into it's possession through a relative who was a soldier In the army of Napoleon, the latter having received it from a friend. Frietch brought the book with him when he came to this country half d century ago.

PR0GRtSSIvtS NOW CONTROL SENATE.

Ever since the election of Wood row Wilson, contest has been go- ing on among the Democrats in the Senate for the control of it's policies. The progressive Demo- crats whose number will be in creased by those to be chosen from various states this month have now gained control of the Demo- cratic caucus.
 Hereafter instead of assigning the Democratic members to the various Senate committees by the chairman of the caucus they will be chosen by Committee on Committees so that one man power" will no longer prevail, but the same method as was adopted by the Democratic House will be the rule. The progressives have had the unfaltering support of President-elect Wilson and this has enabled them to triumph over the leadership of the Conserva- tives. Senator Hoke Smith. of Georgia, Thos. P. Gore, the blind Senator from Oklahoma, Luke Lea, of Tennessee, Senator Stone, of Missouri, and Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, have been active partici- pants in this fight for wrestling the Senate from the hands of the non- progressives.

CURRENT COMMENT
Vermont's Constitution.

Vermont voters evidently thought thu
constitution of their state in more neet
of change than was that of New Hamp
shire in the minds of our citizens.
On March 4, town meeting day acros;
the Connecticut, eight measures were
submitted to the people by the recent
legislature, four considered to be of un.
usual interest as they directly affect pro-
cedure that had been in operation for
more than half a century.
tn our changes are; First, requir-
ing Jthirds vote instead of ma
jorty vote in the legislature to over
ride veto; second, changing OF the date
of the state election from September 10
November and the sessions of the legis-
lature from October to January; third,
giving the legislature equal power with
the governor in granting pardons; and
fourth, giving the legislature authority
to pass workingmen's compensation
act.
The other four change the title of
supreme court judges to justices; require
a request from five members for a roll
call in either branch of the Legislature;
provide for the Incorporation of religious,
charitable, educational and penal insti-
tutions without special act of the leg
islsture, and revision of the eonstitu
ton on the basis of the acts accepted at
this years town meetings.
The acceptance of all eight of these
measures by the people of Vermont
means a considerable change in manners
and methods. in the Green Mountain
state and indicates progress in popular
sentiment there as elsewhere in this
country n. II. Monitor.

The Washington, d. C., street crowd
is condemned roundly for molesting the
marching suffragettes the day before
Inauguration, il being declared with
much spirit that no other city in the
country would have been guilty of such
misconduct. But we venture to assert
that it was not Washington's fault, be-
cause many, perhaps a majority. of the
crowd were visitors in town for the in
auguration the following day. We 20

city in the country would have done
any differently than Washington did;

CONGRATULATIONS EXTENDED.

Our new daily contemporary, the Brat
tleboro Reformer, comes to us as very
smart, newsy journal; in fact, it is so
good newspaper that the people of
Brattleboro and vicinity will make a
serious mistake if they do not lend it
enthusiastic support, 50 that the publish
ers may be able to maintain the high
standard set in the first few issues. The
daily Reformer is an offshoot of the
recent combination of the weekly Re-
former and the weekly Phoenix, the last
named publication being continued in
its usual form. The first issue of the
daily was made on Monday, March 3,
the day before the annual spring cleo
tions; and the issues of election day
and the day following must have brought
home TO Brattleboro people the bene-
fit of having a daily ehronicler of i'm
portant affairs instead of being COM
PEELED to wait several days until the
former weekly issues were published.
The advertisers, too, must appreciate
the opportunity to talk daily with the
purchasing public. Indeed Satisfied read
ers and merchants ought to make the
path of the infant journal fairly easy.
The Times hopes as much for the en-
men back of the venture.

bantering, some of it good nstured, some
tinged with bitterness and sarcasm; and
bantering seems to have been about
the limit of the imposition on the wom-
en-, with now and then cases when the
marchers were jostled and thrown out
of alignment, even halted in their pa
rade. In fact, the whole thing should
prove to be an intimation to the march-
ing suffragettes of something they must
expect when they get the ballot, treat
ment similar to that which men would
give to men of opposite beliefs. Chiv-
airy is either a lost or undiscovered art
between men in politics, as it threatens
to be forgotten art if the present
trend of universal suffrage eyentuates
as its sponsors hope.

New England Weather.

1t really looked month ago
As If there'd been change
In old New England's climate, for
The weather sure was strange.
The lilac buds were growing green
The croeuses appeared,
And dandelions on the lawns
Our gloomy hours eheered
The robins showed themselves again.
The pussy willows burst,
And everywhere there was rush
OF girls to get them first.
A food of verse was imminent,
For, thinking it was spring,
The tuneful poets all took heart
And started out to sing.
But winter now is on the job
And working overtime;
The blithe spring poets heart is chilled
BY all the frost and rhine.
His ink is frozen and it seems
The cold is here to last
And while the hungry furnace roars
The coal is going fast,
