A Sage Brush Tragedy.
(BOstOn Herald.)

It is a pity that Mark Twain is not living to write the obituary of The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise" on which he worked in the bananza days of long ago. A brief news item chronicles the suspension of that newspaper; it's passing brings back the memory of the remarkable boom city where the great silver fortunes were made, a city of which but a ritiful ghost survives among the sand and sage. For years "The Enter prise'' struggled on after the great boom "busted,' but Virginia City could not "come back
 In all the romantic story Of the West there is no chapter more en- trancing than that which tells of the rise of that fabulously rich mining camp. It was the widest place that the wild West knew, the richest center in the land, where millions were made and lost in @ minute. It's days Of glorious prosperity were only a few years ago, but to the occa- sional visitor, whom curiosity draws to it's deserted streets and tum ble- down shacks, it's glory seems further in the past than the mysterious civilization of the Mesa Verde
 The West is full of lost cities and dead towns-not only the mining regions. but the prairie states as we'll but among them all Virginia City is in a class by itself And the tragedy of it is that the place does not know that it has long been dead, and the people still live, or exist, there who cling to the hope that in some magic way the boom will come lack. And in all the sovereign state of Nevada-by the way, a state about as large in area as all New England and New York com bined- there are fewer persons than in the city of Somerville-and very differ ent class of population in the main!

TRAGEDY IN POSTAGE STAMP
One That Carries Sorrow Into Count Soldiers Mail by Swiss Government.
(Utica GlObe.)


 (Utica Globe)
 There is one small postage stamp, with black border, and the single word: "decede," (dead), which repre- sents a greater tragedy than any bat tie in the present war. It is the stamp used by the international mail ser vice, conducted by the Swiss govern ment, between the prisoners of war of all nations and their families, on letters directed to soldiers who have fallen at the front. or died in hospitals
 A large table at the Berne head quarters is piled high with these let ters, each bearing the fatal stamp "decede." This is but one mail and each days mail piles the table again. They are to families in England Ger many, France, Turkey, Austria, Ja- pan-the entire range of fighting countries-for Switzerland has taken over the entire work of administering this mail service between families and their men at the front.
 For a small country it is an enor- nous work that Switzerland has thus assumed bearing the entire expense without a penny's charge to anyone. Located right in the heart of the car mage, with the fighting nations on every side, Switzerland is peculiarly placed for effectively carrying on this

He has been doing patrol duty for sev- i eral weeks, remaining on the Amer can side of the boundary with a de- tachment from his regiment, the ma~ i jority of which are now with Per l shing's army in Mexico. Dimes had been worried for some time beacuse of the possibility that he might not be given an opportunity to
 go into action with his comrades but the latest turn in the Mexican Hitua- tion has changed his despair into joy He writes that the soldiers are itching for chance to get into the thick of the fight and orders to go forward cannot be issued too quickly to suit them.

SUFFRAGE ID TAKE
 PART IN CAMPAIGN
Berlin League to Get Stand of
 Candidates for Legislature
YELL IT AFFECT ISSUE |?
State Board of Agriculture to Offer Prizes for Connecticut Grown Po- tatoes and Corn-Observe Silver Anniversary.

That the Women Suffrage question will vitally effect the local campaign ,for a representative, is the belief of many voters. The open meeting in Grange hall Wednesday evening, at which able addresses were delivered by Miss Adele D. Murray, president of the Berlin Equal Suffrage league, gnder whose auspices the meeting was held, Mrs. Edward G. Porritt of Hartford, secretary of the Connecticut Women Suffrage association and Dr Valeria Parker of Greenwich, has been the subject of much comment during the past two days and the con- sensus of opinion seems to be the To- cal campaign will be fought out on that issue. Despite the fact, that none of the men mentioned for the position have expressed their desire to run, nevertheless the feeling per- vades that it will be acceptable to Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, First Se- Iactman William H. Gibney, Francls Deming and E w. Mildrum. All of these candidates, if they may be con- sidered as such, are very popular an I have manifested much interest in 
 and their public spirit mas, ever been foremost. Each has given personal time to aiding in the betterment of the community and no mistake vii be made by the voters if any are chosen for the honor.
 But, and there's the rub, it is said about town this morning that the members of the local suffrage league rr-iI1 to oil dates agree to work for their cause. Up to the present, none of these men have made a statement on the sub 1ect, but the women of the league feel that their plea for suffrage will re- ceive consideration. It is possible that one or two of those mentioned will withdraw their names before election day, but whether this is done or not, it is safe to say the campaign will be conducted on clean and manly basis, for it is certain that men Of their calibre will not indulge in low or mean politics and the victor, whoever he may be will strive just as hard for the interests of the town i1 the legislature as they do in the town ,neetings.
 Colonel Jarvis has acted .as inoder- ttor of town meetings Tor the past few years and has always cvinced a desire to sec fair play. He is always willing and always does join any movement which hac for it's object the betterment of the community. sE1irst Selectnan Gibney has held that position for the past thirteen years and his record as 3 town servant is too we'll known for repetition at this time MT Dening's opinion is al-

ways asked on matters pertaining to the welfare of the town and his re- marks on any question are always re- ceivd with interest He is chairman of the board of finance, which has done much to place towns affairs on a business basis. In his own district, East Berlin, MT. Mildrum is very pop ular and practically all of the votes there, it is felt will be cast for him. He is also member of the board of finance.
