BUILDING A DOUBLE MACHINE

Evidences lacking, but accumulate, that
very interruptions and not oyer clever politicians upon
both Sides attempting to fix upon Bridgeport the old
double machine principle to which the charter of the city,
with its bipartisan features, lends itself.
The double machine is union of politicians of two
parties keep themselves and their friends power
CARELESS of which party wins at the polls election day
The thing is simply arranged. Both nominate can
ddate satisfactory the interests with the understand
ing that the victorious candidate for mayor shall I'll all
places which the charter shall go to Democrats with
those Democrats who in the double machine. This
beautiful arrangement always works to the disadvantage
Of the taxpayers 1t destroys the advantage that party
government should give and puts the city the hands
of selfish sposmen who neither Democrats Repub-
icans but filters of their pockets and not nrequent
", jackals for the special privilege corporations
The only place in which double machine be dis
lodged is in the party primaries. The remedy
mate not affiliated with the double machine, with
any policy of betrayal

Cod This libel on Deity has often
served it's purpose of providing human

Once a little girl, usually tender

of the animal were heart-rending, and
the girl, stopping her ears, ran to her

of humanity in general in regard to
such disasters as the Triangle fire.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS

By BLANCHE BEACO

While cannot wax enthusiastic oV-
er hair dyes of any kind or descrip-
ton, still I am willing to admit that
in some cases the use of these darken-
ers is absolutely necessary if one does
not wish to appear before the public
gaze with 1ashes or brows that stub
bornly refuse to match themselves
with eyes, hair or complexion. Sure
1y a poor woman, under such circum-
stances, cannot do anything but avail
herself of any harmless dye that will
answer her purpose.
A very simple way of causing the
hirsute adornrpents of ones eyes to
become of Va slightly darker hue is to
dampen them persistently every night
with a strong sage tea, taking care
skin nor the eyes. Results are not
very rapid, but eventually you will
have the satisfaction of seeing your
ersewhiIe white lashes and brows as
sumo a darker and more becoming
tint.
1t is no trick at all to make this sage
tea, as all that you need do is to steep
two teaspoonfuls of dried sage-last
years crop-in one cupful of hot wa
ter for an hour, then strain into a
bottle.
A dye which gives one Iashes and
brows black as jet is made accord
ing to the formula which appears be-
low:

Powder the ink and gum, and tritu-
rate small quantities of the powder
with rose-water till a uniform black
liquid results, absolutely free from
granules. Then put liquid into a bot
tie and pour over it the remainder of
the rose water. Apply with tiny
brush dipped first in borated water
Still another way of overcoming
that defect of Nature-colorIess lash
es and brows-consists in rubbing them
over several times daily with a cos

Lady Day, the twenty-fifth of
March, was once popular holiday in
England, and it will be observed to-
day in some parts of John Bulls is
land where ancient customs are still
held in reverence. In the Catholic
calendar today commentaries the an
nuneiation Of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
and is an important festival Of south
Europe and Latham Until
comparatively recent times Lady Day
marked the beginning of the year in
modern nations. France changed New
Years Day from March Is to Jan. L
in 1854 Scotland proclaimed the
change in 1899. In England the style
was not altered until 1852.
The festival of Lady Day was in
stftuted in the year $50, according to
some historians, while other authori-
ties declare that the festival was not
celebrated until the eighth century.
1t takes its name from the ddings
brought by the angel Gabriel to Mary,
announcing the incarnation Of the
Christ. The Catholic meaning of An
nunciation Day has been expressed in
the following language:
E'This festival commentaries the
most important embassy that was ever
known-an embassy sent by the King
of kings, performed by one of the
chief princes of the heavenly court,
and directed, not to the powerful ones
Of earth, but to a poor and obscure
virgin, who, being endowed with the
most angelic purity of soul and body,
being witha1 perfectly humble and de-
voted to God, was greater in His eyes
than the nightiest monarch in the
world. When the Son of God became
man, He could have taken upon Him
our nature without the cooperation
of any creature, but He was pleased
to be born of a woman. In the choice
of her whom he raised to this most
sublime of all dignities, He chose the
one who, by the riches of His grace
and virtues, was Of all others the
most holy and the most perfect

The first reichstag of, the German
Empire was opened at Berlin forty
two years ago today, March 25, 1871.
King William of Prussia had been pro
claimed Emperor of Germany two
months before, all the sovereign
princes Of German states and free
towns having Joined in Offering him
the crown The constitution was
adopted in the month following the
converting of the reichstag, and under
it's provisions the legislative power
was conferred on the bundesrath or
federal council, representing the in
dividua1 states, and the reichstag,
which represents the German nation.
The reichstag consists of 1877 mem
bers, elected by universal suffrage for
five years. Prussia, has 236 represen-
tatives in the body and Bavaria forty
eight, while the other states have
lesser numbers. The Socialist party
is now the strongest numerically in
the reichstag, with 10 representatives.
The Centre party has ninety, the Con-
servatives forty-five, the National Lib
erals forty-four, the Radicals forty
one, and ten other parties from one
to eighteen each. The reichstag, like
the bundesrath, meets in annual ses-
sion. Z

trade, There is hardly any kind of
manual labor that he has not per-
formed.
He has worked in the woods, in the
sawmills and prospected for coal. In
manner he became an independent
coal operator, for he purchased a lit

and sold the coal that he has picked
himself to the people about the coun-
tryside at q profit, though below the
market price.
In 1896 he rented a little farm at
Blossburg. which he has since pur-
chased. He has resided there ever

Lest we forgotten have we already
forgotten To-day is the second an
niVersary of the Asch Building fire
in New York, in which lat persons,
mostly girls, were killed, and fifty 9TH
ers were injured. The victims were
the employees of the Triangle Shirt
Company. The propr1etors of the fac
tory have been freed from blame, and
it is only fair to say that their plant
was one of the best and most sanitary
of its kind in the city. So far as
has been developed, no responsibility
for the disaster attaches to any city
official or building inspector. The

broad-shouldered bearded Atlas of the
anc1ents thus falls beneath the icono-
elastic hammer of the modern artist.
John Gutzon de Ia Mothe is the real
name of the sculptor, who was born in
Idaho on March %, 1867, educated in
Kansas, and studied art in San Fran
cisco and Paris. His important works
include the colossal figures Of the
twelve apostles for the Cathedral of
st. John the Divine in New York, the
Lincoln head in the Capitol at Wash
ington, and the Sheridan monument in
the same city. He is a member of the
Royal Society of British Artists and
other European organizations, but he
recently resigned as vice president or
the Association Of American Painters
and Sculptors, which he was instru-
mental in organizing, alleging that the
officers and members had been guilty
of crimes against art.
