Opera II ouse' Thronged' to Doors at
? DemocratiV' Rally. ' '
' The largest democratic rally of this
campaign was held in tuo opera house
last night. The rally opened at 8:15,
after a short parade from the Commer
cial house to the hall. In the hall the
drum corps played a catchy melody and
received much applause. Judge Ben
ton was chairman and in a few re
liiarks Introduced Oliver Gildersleeve
of Portland, candidate for congress
from this district. Mr Gildersleeve
arose and addressed tlie chairman and
audience: '"The day' before the con
gressional convention was held in Mi'd
dletown, I was asked if I would ac
cept the poniinatioc. This was the
first time it was mentioned to me. It
.came as a surprise and I was called
the new man in politics.' " lie said
lie never ran for an office, nor was
he ever looking for , one. Mr Gilder
sleeve asked for the support of every
democrat and said if he was elected
he would look to the Interests of every
one in this district. Mr Gildersleeve
spoke of the large standing army the
United States now has and said it was
a great strain on the poor people, he
sides a menace to institutions. He
closed his speech by thanking ail for
their kind aflention and took his seat
amid much applause. Chairman Tien
ton then introduced Tr William A.
Crofut. who started his speech thus'.y:
"Mr Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen
and Fellow Citizens: Ever since I
have been a man I have been a repub
lican. I lost my vote because I was
on the stump in Maryland in 'Oil for
McKinlev. Mr Crofut spoke in
regard to the Sulu Islands and how
General Bates told the sultan that he
must fly the American tlag to be pro
tected. MeKinley told the sultan all
i.
that he had to do was just as
pleased and receive for it S250 a
month. He then eaugnt the audience
by saying that there was a Smith can
vassing this state for McKinlev and
that he is the post master-general. Mr
Crofut said Smith spoke in New Ha-
yen a few nights ago and called Me-
Kinley the "Moses of this administra
tion." Why Moses? Because coming
to the mountain of destiny he broke
the ten commandments all at once, and
arriving at the bottom he saw the
golden calf of Wall street.. "Oh. Mr
Smith made it lively in New Haven.

said that the republican party could
take care of the Trusts. I understand
that a man has been here saying the
same thing, but I live opposite the
senate chamber in Washington ai

be nullified by the adoption of the sil
ver standard, and one year ago there
were two hundred millions of silver
dollars in the treasury. Up to Septem
ber 1 it was all paid out but twelve
millions. Mr Crofut said: "Why.
there would not be enough silver to
last Mr Bryan the first forenoon."

speaker then came back to Smith.
who he said spoke about the full din- !
lier pail. Crofut said: "But did hej'rcn last in cuius i--if ...
say anything about the empty coal
hod? (Terrific applause.) Didn't Rob
ert Emmet have a full dinner pail?
Mr Bryan don't take much interest in
the full dinner pail, but wants every
man to eat with his own family." (Ap
plause.) Mr Crofut was very sarcastic in his
remarks and said that if Smith staved 1
home in Washington there would have
been fewer mail robberies and less
mail destroyed in the west. "Smith
and Sperry are two of a kind." Fol
lowing Mr Crofut. the Hon John A.
Tomlinson of Alabama addressed the
meeting. ,
The Yale Law School football team
lined up against the Naugatuck team
at 3:40 yesterday afternoon on Hotch
kiss field. Naugatuck chose the west
goal and Yale kicked off. Aslimore get
ting the ball and advanced it but a
few yards when he was downed by
Yale. Naugatuck was held until they
had to punt. In the first half there
was much punting by both teams.
Yale was a great deal heavier than
Naugatuck and during this half push
ed the home boys to within four yards
of their goal, but held Yale for downs,
therefore they lost the ball. In the
first half there was 'no scoring with
the ball on Naugatuck's 25-yard line
when time was called. The second half
commenced by Naugatuck kicking off.
Yale received the ball and by line
bucking they sent Weymoth around
left end for a touchdown. Wench
kicked a goal. There was then ten
minutes to play but Naugatuck could
not score as Yale was too heavy for
them, still they held them as best
they could. Eugene Sullivan, a Nau
gatuck boy, played right end for Yale
and put up a fine game. He was the
only man that brought JackoueUi
(Naugatuck's halfback) down by tack:
ling. Ostrander put up a very stiff
argument for Naugatuck and received
cheers from the large crowd for his
good work at left guard. It was
stated last night that these two teams
will meet again in the near future and
If so It should prove to be a rattling
good game. The line up was as fol

I ircd people more or less ''run down' j
may like to have particulars of the ail ;
or nature cure so popular in German :
just new. - ' , .
The system, says the London Mail, !
is said to represent a reaction against
the overuse of drugs and serum. It
appeals for the natural life as the tru
remedy for ill health. In the lovely
woods of Dresden and in various othei
captivating spots in Germany patient
undergoing the "cure" are counted by
hundreds. They come from Russia.
America, Africa, Australia, India, even
from far-off Siberia and the Ural moun
tains, while England contributes foul
hopeful invalids to the crowd. The
open-air bath is one method of treat
ment: In various palisaded inclosures
men, women and children, arrayed in
the scantiest permissible grb, bathe
themselves in the air, indulging mean
while in sport, play and exercise foi
varying periods.
An interesting illustration of the
"curt" may be found in Nansen's "On
Snowshoes Through Greenland." He
tells of Eskimos on the east coast who
took their air baths habitually by
throwing- oft their clothing in theii
half-warmed huts at evening, and sc
kept strong and well. Under Danish
influence and European teaching as tc
the proprieties, they gave up their ail
bath and were ravaged by consump
tion. Near the air bath inclosure are othei
spaces for what is termed the "lying
down and air cure." In these spaces
are wooden huts raised on supports
and open all one side, except for a cur
tain. In these huts the night is spent
the invalid passing in the morning tc
a couch out of doors, where almost all
the day he or she lies wrapped in rugs,
but able to read or work and cat.
' Next to air comes, light, and this
with heat is utilized in "sun baths'
arranged on the roof of the "cure" es
tablishment, fully exposed to the sky
but with a shade oyer each head. The
patients lie either "free" that is, un
clothed or closely wrapped cn mat
tresses for about an hour, and the
bath is completed with warm and cold
water. ,
When the sun is not available or is
unsuitable equivalent good is obtained
it is said, by the use of electric light
and heat. Cabinets are fitted with IOC
or more glow lights and with panes ol
colored glass blue, for instance
through which the arc lights can plaj
without yellow, red or violet rays. The
light streams through the outer skin
destroys bacilli, increases pigment and
corpuscles and is supposed to relievi
pain or lessen internal congestions.
Water is available in all the well
known forms of the cure. The "wech
sel-dcuche" is fearful and wonderful
for as you lie in a long bath a forc
pump on either side pounds down t
merciless stream of hot and cold al

HEAVY SOLES TO PREVAIL.
Women's Shoes for tVo Winter Sen
sou Show Bat Little Chance
In Style. . .
The boots the woman is to wear this
winter and perhaps before: the winter
in the fall, when she needs heavy boots
quite as much, are made on the most
sensible lasts, that she has used for
a long time. There is a certain breadth
and slope down to the toe which will
give her toes plenty of room to breathe
and will be comfortable. 1 he heels are
on the style cf the military, but lower,
sloping in a little more and giving a
prettier shape than the square heel.
It is much more attractive than the
higher Cuban, which has had its day.
The soles are heavier if anything than
any that have been worn yet,, and the
extension wider, which is a style be
coming to the foot. The extension ia
so wide on these shoes that a novice
thinks at first that they must be fenc
ing shoes, says the New York Times.
There is that much for comfort in the
design, but more has been done in the
materials in the shoe. As the last has
become less masculine in actual s,hape,
though not In effcct,'s3 the 'material
has been adapted to women's use . The
calf shoes, like the tan. have to be care
fully dressed and require a bootblack,
and not only that, but the blacking
rubs oif and is fatal to the gowns. The
new boots are of a softer leather, which
is specially dressed for the use to
which it is put. It has what leather
men call oil tannage in preference to
dry, to make them impervious to moist
ure, and if the woman docs not haye
a comfortable as well as sensible shoe
it will not be the fault of the boot
, makers. - y
The lace shoe is if anything increas
ing in popularity in - these, mannish
shoes. There is no call for the narrow
toe in any of the shoes, though there
has been but lrttle change in the gen
eral run of boots. ' '
For the early fall the stout Oxford
or low-cut shoe will be worn with the
heavy sole and broad extension'. There
are still tan shoes in the shops and tan
shoes undoubtedly comfortable. They
require less treatment in dyeing and
are consequently softer, but it" cannot
be said that they are fashionable, con
sequently for the woman who, wishes
to wear them still they can be had at
.'reasonable prices. ; j i ' , -

REAL EMPRESS DOWAGER.
Greatest Tyrant in the World Qnlcli
fcn Thought and Aetlon Extrav-: '
, acant Beyond Measure. ':-
- Many of the stories circulated about
the empress dowager to the effect that
sh'e was "a slave- girl or came of a poor
family are untrue My wife has.beqri
called asa physician to her Niang'chia
that is her mother's home. She was
the daughter of an official, was taken
into the palace and became the concu
bine of the empefor. Hsien Feng.' The
empress, his wife, has no children. The
son of this 'woman, on the death oi
the emperor,' became Emperor Tung
Chih, during whose' minority the reins
of government were held by his moth
er. When he died without issue, she
selected Kwang Hsu to become his suc
cessor, holding the reins of government
from his infancy to his majority. Him
she has now dethroned, and she has se
lected the son of Prince Tuan as suc
cessor, not to Kwang Hsu, but to hei
own son. During the whole reign ol
Kwang Hsu he was compelled to kotow
to her at least once every five days. II
she was at the summer palace, 13 miles
away, he must go there every fiire daya
during the hot summer and knock his
head to her. During his whole reign
Che has compelled every official ap
pointed to vicaroyalties to thank hex
at the same time with the emperor.
She is the greatest tyrant in the world
and the strongest female character on
any throne, says Prof. I. T. Headland,
in Ainslce's.
She has never been seen by a foreign
man. but she has been seen by the wives
of all the ministers in Peking. When
she has an interview with a Chinese of
ficial, according to Chinese custom,
she sits behind a screen. Among the
presents she gave the wives of the min
isters were a lot of ivory combs fine
combs as well as ccarse -a present
which, it is to be hoped, these good
ladies will not have use for outside ol
China. During the interview with
these ladies she introduced them to
the emperor. She passed the tea to
them herself, taking a sip from each ol
the cups before she gave it, evidently
to show them that it was not poisoned.
They came away infatuated with the
"Old Lady," as the Chinese sometimes
call her. The empress dowager's chief
characteristic is quickness of thought
and action. When she comes to a crisis
she does not wait to think twice. She
acts at once, and awes by her very
presence. She does not take time to
reckon what the consequences will be,
but when she has gotten the reins well
in her own hands she plans at leisure
how to avoid consequences. She has
always been hand and glove with Li
Hung Chang, and he would do anything
to protect her,. It was formerly sup
posed that she was for reform, and so
she might have been had she not been
compelled to put herself behind the
conservative party when she deposed
Kv.-ang Hsu.. She is extravagant be
yond expression. Her sixtieth birth
day fell during the Japanese-Chinese
war.' To celebrate it she had a stone
road built to the summer palace, while
the public read to Fungchou was in a
dilapidated condition. When 30,000,000
taels were raised for the construction
of railways, it ia said, she used a ?arge
part of the money in the decoration of
the imperial gardens, stopping the rail
way at Shanhaikuan instead of at
Mohkden, according to the original
plans.
ON CHINESE RAILWAYS.
Peculiar Customs and Coaches LallUe
Tbose of Any Other Coun
try. A recent letter writer from China
says: Our , first-class carriage resem
bled an American carriage in its gen
eral principles, but its exact counter
cart we had never seen. In each com
partment two wooden seats, unfur
nished with Cushions, faced each other.
We learned that when the road was
first built cushioned seats had been
furnished, but owing to the ; untidy
habits of the Chinese they had to be
abandoned. Into the compartment all
but the larger and heavier luggage was
also carried, and our assortment in
cluded one lar-e steamer trur.k, a
plethoric English "hcld-all," one dress
suit case, two bags and various parcels
and bundles. Each passenger is al
lowed SCO pounds of luggage on the
liberal Chinese railways a liberality
that will probably be curtailed later.
- My neighbors across the way were
two dainty ladies, one attired in blue
linen, the other in silk a'nd black bro
caded tissue. Their purple black hair
was elaborately pressed and orna
memtcd with jeweled pins and pink arti
ficial flowers. One was a "bound-foot"
woman; the other one had escaped the
cruel disfigurement. The Manchuri
ans, to which the imperial family be
long, do not bind the feet, and the
fashion set by the empress has been
followed by many Chinese in Peking
and its vicinity. These little lad.ics
smiled and spoke in their own unintel
ligible language with an effort to be
amiable and polite. They even crossed
the aisle and made me undcrs'.and that
they would like to look out of the win
dow which, on my side of the carriage,
was next to the station. I gladly made
place for them, and, when their curics
ty was gratified, they went .back to
their own seat. The servant who had
accompanied them took his leave and
they then-proceeded to bargain with
the chestnut vendor.. There was very
soon -a dispute over "something, for
they became greatly excited, and c-ne
of them brandished her English um
brella with astonishing vigor. They
poured forth a stream of shrill, volu
ble. Chinese without the slightest ex
pression' of ill temper on their placid
countenances, - '
"It is. a good thing that you do not
understand Chinese," said M ;
"their language is dreadful."

, THE PRESIDENT AT HOME.
t' of Ike White Ilause Front Door,
' " an index to simplicity ot ' ( r j
. 1 i : , Our Public Life.' , ,'i
The use of the front door of the
white house tells an impressive story
of the simplicity of our republican
form of government. In and out this
one portal go the' president and his
family;, the. ladies of fashion who
call upon the' president's wife: the
copyists,' telegraphers and messengers
who are employed in the clerical work
of the executive mansion, and they
(number a score; the olllce-seekers and
nil visitors to the -white house- on
business; parties of tourists on their
way to see the historic East room;
and the ambassadors of foreign mon
archy going to present their creden
tials to the president of the United
States.
In the palace of a European . mon
arch there would be several entrances.
The public would have one door, the
family another, and the diplomatists
a third.
The only attempt made at the
white house to secure privacy for
the president and his wife, says the
Youth's Companion, is this: When
they enter or depart, two of the
guards about the dcor quietly take
places at the head of the little flight
of steps which lead up to the portico,
and hold the public back a few seu
onds, . while the president and wife
step out to the carriage or go in
from it. Usually a little bevy of peo
ple collects to see the president p;1Si
so near, and to them he always bows i
cordially. i
Inside the door it is expected that !
no one will accost the president while :
walking to and from his private apart-
ments. But there is nothing to
Ijre"
lent one irom uomg so. rsot long ago
a "green" reporter, who had just
come to Washington, took this occa
sion to approach President McKinlev
and question him upon the issues of
the day. The president, recognizing
tlie innocence of the intruder, chatted I
pleasantly with him. The next day j
the young man was warned by the !
guards that he should not do so again.
Even a president must occasionall v" '
have a few minutes to himself.
WHEEL WAS HIS SAFEGUARD
Petty Naval O&cir'i Bicycle Kept
Him from tao Allurements of
tbo Saloons.
"In these days of automobiles,
steam carriages and electric vehicles,"
said an observant man the other day
to a New York Tribune man, "the
bicycle is not being neglected. It has
become too cheap to be popular with
the upper classes, but it is more of a
blessing than ever to the poor. Even
the newsboys and bootblacks own
their own wheels now. It was on -a
visit to the cruiser Baltimore the
other day that I became convinced
that one could find bicycles every
where, "I was passing through one of the
gangways leading to the quarters of
the crew. There were guns and fight
ing things on every side. I happened
to look up and was surprised to see a
bicycle securely fastened to the top
of the gangway. It was an old-style
wheel, with heavy frame and thick
tires, but it had served the petty offi
cer who owned it very well. It had
been ridden in most of the seaports
of Europe at which American war ves
sels call. The owner had scorched
about the streets of Hong-Kong and
had taken a bicycle trip into the in
terior of Japan. Even in Manila he
had found it useful, in spite of the
extreme heat.
" 'Theowner of that wheel has saved i
more money during the last three
years than any other petty officer on
the ship,' said the lieutenant who was
showing ma around. 'It keeps him
busy when he has shore leave and he
has no desire to go to saloons and
other places in which sailors "drop"
11 of their hard-earned pay.' "
THE YOUNG MAN'S MANNERS.
Society Asks Taut lie Behave Well,
and Then His Path Will
lie Smooth.
Society asks little of a youn g man ex
cept to behave well. If he be manly in
looks, if he has a good manner, is civil
to his elders, if he has any little gift of
entertaining any "parlor tricks" if
he sends a few flowers occasionally,
looks pleasant and is polite, his way
will be smooth to success always pro
viding that he is really a gentleman,
says Ladies' Home Journal.
He never joins her on a thoroughfare
unless the friendship be an established
one and only with her permission
nor will he stand and converse with
her.
It is provincial to walk "sandwiched"
between two women, to stare, or look
after anyone who has passed.
In public conveyance a man does not
pay a woman's fare unless he is her
sscort, except in an emergency, when
he must ask if he may.
Introductions are rarely made in pub
lie places or conveyances.
A man precedes a woman when enter
ing a theater or public place. Iu a
church the lady goes first. He may pre
cede her up a public staircase, but in a
private house in ascending and descend
ing he follows.
In picture' 'galleries, in elevators in
public building-s, hotel and theater cor
ridors, they, being thoroughfares, a
man retains his hat. In a hotel he re
moves it if women arc present.
If a lady bows to a man in a res
taurant he rises slightly from his scat -in
acknowledgment. When he is with a
party, if a lady V.ith -her escort stops
to speak to his friends he rises and
remains standing until she passes on.
He also rises if a. man is introduced
to him when with a stag party.
If a' bachelor show some little hospi

If he has attractive rooms, or has any
thing, to show, he may give an after-,

i $LR. EGNEW AiiD THE BUG.
Entirely Natural. Explanation of the
Impressed Organist's Unac ,
' countable. 'Cbn'dactA V
Before James W.r Egnew, chief clerk
of the bureau, of statistics, came to
Indianapolis, says the Sentinel of that
city, he lived in the '-modest town of
Lagro, in Wabash couaty." On h'is'na
tivc heath Mr. Egnew cut considerable
ice. He had a nice horse and buggy j
played the orgiin in the church, oc.
casionally sang in the choir and had
his clothes made by; a Fort Wayne
'tailor. ----- .
; Eecently Mr. Ejnsw made a visit to
ILagro. Sunday evening services were
iheld in the church, and when Mr.
lEgnew entered he was immediately
'surrounded by a bunch of his friends,
iwho prevailed upon him to play the
.organ, lie tried to make an excuse,
but there was no escape, and like a
iamb he was led unwillingly to the
slaughter. The first hymn, "Shall We
Gather at the Kiver?" is one of Mr.
Egnew's favorites, and he played the
music in a, way- that made the win
dows rattle.
j "He's in great form," said the bru
nette soprano of the choir,
j "Indeed he is," replied the blonde
.contralto.
Following- tha prayer the minister,
in slow, solemn tones, announced the
belt hymn. "The congregation," said
he, "will please unite in singing No.
:334. 'Go Seek and Ye Shall Find.' "
! Mr. Egnew played the prelude, and
the minister had given the signal for
the audience to arise, when something
out of the ordinary happened. The
music stoiiped for a moment, and
when the people raised their heads
to see what the matter was they were
astonished at the wild, haggard look
on the face of the organist.- With one
hand he was vainly cnacavoring to lin
ger the keys, while with the other he
clutched at his throat as though he
.would choke. The lady members of
the choir looked at him in such a re
proachful sort of way that he mace a
mighty elTort to continue playing.
I "Cio seek and ye " sang the congre
gation. ! With a yell Egnew removed h:3
hands from the keys, and once more
made a grab at his shirt front. Great
beads of perspiration stood out on his
forehead, and the wild look about his
'eyes caused the dignified brunette to
move a few feet farther away from
hiia. . '
"Has our Jimmy acquired bad hab
its during his stay in the city?" asked
one of the members of the church ot
another.
! "I am sure I don't know," replied
ihis companion; "his actions are cer
tainly peculiar."
' "Go seek and ye " started the con
gregation again.
Once more Egnew faced the instru
ment, this time with a do-or-die look
on his face. He soon took up his cue
and managed to play the first verse
through. Then, as the minister read
.the text, Egnew, without a word of
explanation, left his seat and ran be
hind the organ, followed by several
members of the choir.
"What in the world is the matter?"
exclaimed one of the young women.
! "Matter! Matter!" exclaimed Eg
new. "Good Heavens, look at this!"
Without further ado he tore open his
shirt and drew from his bosom a
black, squirming pinching bug fully
an inch in length. The bug had se
cured a good hold, however, and when
Egnew tore it loose from his body he
;was forced to yell. With something
that sounded strangely like d n he
threw the bug on the floor, while the
young- women stood about and tit
tered. Mr. Egnew returned to the organ
i finished the music, and after service
j explained his actions. Then he was
i the hero of the hour and his reputa-
tion was saved.

(Ten Decapitation Doe Jiot Prevent
. Certain Insects frolu Maklnx
' ) , a Grand Final Toilets- .
. It has often been noticed that there
are u$ animals' which are more dainty
and fastidious in their personal habits
than insects'; the; extreme pains whip'n
the' common housefly takes in attend
ing' to its toilet, being a good example .
of this racial characteristic. The dis
covery has-now been made that there
are certain insects which have such a
respect for Airs. Grundjv and are en
dowed with such an innate love of neat
ness and order, that not even death, or
rather decapitation, can prevent them
from making one grand final toilet,
which is clearly designed to give them
a sedate and respectable appearance
after death.
Dr. llallion, a skilled entomologist,
has discovered this remarkable fact,
say the New York Herald. "During
one of my recent horseback rides." he
says, "I frequently caught one of those
large flies which annoy; cattle and
horses so much, and I promptly got rid
of it by crushing its head. One day,
instead of throwing the mutilated in
sect away, I placed it on the back of my
hand and indolently watched it,. For
some seconds the insect remained mo
tionless, but then, to my unbounded
surprise, it moved its front legs for
ward to the place where the head
should hav been, and, after it bad
rubbed them nervously together, ap-

its hind legs. Under the gentle pres
sure of thete limbs the "body gradually
became extended and the cxtremijy
curved, while the wings gradually
changed their natural position and left
the upper part of the body exposed..
Meanwhile the hind legs continued to
brush each other from time to time.
Naturally I watched this extraordin
ary sight with greut interest, and. in
order to see the finale, I took the insect
into my stuciy, where 1: iivca an entire

THE TATTOOED CRUCIFIX.
tSoCT Lieut. Commander Gillmorc Wan
Saved from Elccnttoa in lite '
Philippines.
For the first time since we had been
on the march, says Lieutenant Com
mander Gillmore in McClure's, the
Filipino lieutenant separated his camp
from ours. He also doubled his guard,
stationing bis soldiers in the rccks
which surrounded us--. Thinking all
this somewhat peculiar, I sent one of
the men to ask if he placed the guards
for our protection.
"No," was his laconic answer. Scon
afterward he came himself to our
camp, and through an interpreter
calmly informed me that he had or
ders, presumably from Gen. Tino, to
execute us in the mountains.
I have always believed that the lieu
tenant's refusal to obey orders and ex
ecute us was due to the effect, pro
duced in his mind by an incident which
had occurred n. nir-ht. or twn. pnrlier.
At one of our stops he had shown me
a crucifix, which he wore hung by a
ribbon around his neck, and said to
me: "The 'Americanos' are not Chris
tions.
. "Oh, yes," 1 replied. "All the Amer
icans are Christians."
I "But you never wear any crucifixes."
I I opened my jacket and showed him
I my breast. A crucifix had been tat
j tooed there years ago, when I was a
midshipman. The Tagal leaped to his
I feet with an exclamation of surprise,
j He instantly crossed himself. His eyes
nearly started out of ins head. 1 ex
plained to him that anyone could buy
a crucifix and hang it around his neck,
but that I had endured pain to have
my crucifix pricked in the fleshv and
that, as he could see. it must always
be with me. There was a marked
change in his manner toward me aftel
that.
