Why This Country Delays Taking Any Action in Case of Executed Americans. ' — ‘Washisgton, Nov. $3.—The delay on the part of the United States in taking any action with respect to the killing, by order of President Zelaya of Nic- aragua, of the two Americans, Groce and Cannon, it developed today, is oc- casioned by the inability of the gov- ernment up to this time to fix the exact status in Nicaragua of the slain mej n. Efforts to Determine Status of Groce and Cannon, ~ It was explained that every effort was being made through government agencies to determine whether these men in fact were members of the rev- olutipnary army or whether they were acting on their own responsibility. If it can be proved, as seems very doubt- ful, that they really were responsible for the planting of mines for the pur- e of blowing up troop ships of the icaraguan government and were act- ing in this matter on their own re- sponsibility, their status would be very difterent from what it would be were they acting as & part of the revolu- ON BUSINESS SUBJECTS.

The Glastonbury fruit grower show- ed the visitor a ‘large pile of peach- stones which his hired man was mix- ing with dry loam, and then leaving them on the ground. “They stay there beside the fence all winter,” sald. “That is the first step in planting. Net spring it will be found Lgat they have cracked and opened a little. Then we take them . and plant them in rows, about six inches apart, and the rows three feet apart. They are very sure to come up quite early in the summer, and, no matter what the weather may be, with a littls care they go right to growing, so that by August they make a height of two or three feet. At that time they have to be budded, if we want a good kind " of peaches. It the inten- tion is merely to get new varieties, or to growing selling peaches, of course the budding is not necessary. The next year we set them in the orchards’ And that's all there is to it."” Boost Your" Own Town. Knocking ene's own town is the subject of a pointed and pithy edi- torial in the Ansonia Bentinel. Among other things The Sentinel says: “To publicly talk a down town, in- stead of up, is one way of proving the traitor; to nail it as dead, unprogres- sive and ‘no good' when it is in the habit of holding its own, is to talk against one's closest home interests. It is just as easy to boost as to knock, but there is everything in habit. The habitual knocker seems to find it hard to reform. . PR “Have we any knockers? Is there treason among us? Are there men who are falling to work for the city's best interests? Is the grouch a common ailment in our midst? Who lacks pat- riotism for his home city, let him get out of it before he contaminates the rest. Next to patriotism for one's ecountry is patriotism for one's home city.” An indiyidual or a newspaper may do as great harm in a community in- directly as by directly running down the ' town in which he or it exists, Senseless and disgruntled opposition to every attempt at betterment in a community is quite as harmful as apenly decrying the place and belit- tling or discouraging its every at- tempt to pregress in an orderly way. In every eemmunity there must of necessity be honest differences of opinion on many matters. In the matter of advancing the best inter- ests of the community there should be no difference. The motte, “if . you can't boost, don't knock,” is appro-. priately applicable in this case.—Mid- dletown Sun. Girls and Football. There are no more enthusiastic pa- trons of intercollegiate and high-school football than the girls and young wom- en of those institutions. They espouse the cause of their favorite team with an ardor exceeding that of the young men who follow the game as partici- pants or spectators. They wear the colors ef their favorites, cheer them on in their most savage plays, and resent any reflection on either the game it- self on their chosen players. Some- how -this disposition does not seem to conferm to the reputation the gent- Jer sex has for tenderness and horror of what is essentially brutal and often inflicts injury and suffering. It is a curious peychological phase of wom- an's always mysterious predilections and antipathies, The popularity of men’s ,games with women appears to be determined by the degree of peril and physical injury possibly to them. It was so away back in the days of the old arenas when men fought to the death with savage beasts and with each other to make a holiday for wom- en as well as for their own sex, and when women often doomed a fallen gladiator to death. Curious, isn't it? —Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. -— Just Like Man. The Humanitarian league has re- cently been conducting an agitation against the feeding of snakes with live animals. Dr, Mitchell says that snakes, which can fast frem 10 to 15 meonths, would in the vast majority of cases accept dead food. In some high types, rattlesnakes, for example, they occasionally refuse to touch dead food. After long observation the doctor has convinced himself that rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and goats, the usual food of #nakes, experience no mental terror when face to face with their fates. The one animal which was evident- 1y terror stricken by snakes was the ménkey. In man's and monkey's com- mon instinctive dread of the snake Dr. Mitchell sees evidence of common ori- gin, In the case of monkeys in the 700 one very childlike characteristic wag mentioned. They grow so fond of sweets and certain fruits given to them by visitors that they refuse to touch wholesome, nourishing food.— London Letter. ‘The number of loecomotives in is gountry, at the end f‘ 1907 tionary forces. It is this point that the state department is trying to clear up before it takes any aggressive ac- tion against Zelaye. The American vice consul at Man- agua, Henry Caldera, has been in- structed to obtain all possible infor- mation on this subject, and it is be- lieved that other agencies also have been employed. Everything Ready for Emergency. Until this information is received, it is extremely doubtful if the United States will take any steps looking to the chastisement of Zelaya beyond putting itself in a position to act romptly should occasion require it. t is believed that plans for the con- centration of warships and marines on the Nicaraguan coast will continue and it may be that this show of force will have a marked effect in stimulat- ing the energies and hopes of the rev- olutionists land result in large acces- sions to their army from the disaf- fected portions of the country now held by Zelaya's army. GETS MOST OF BILL. Wealthy Brewer Everard Must Pay Liberaally for Flowers. Judge Lucien F. Burpee has given judgment to Robert McMillan, a flor- ist of Greenwich, to recover $1,115 from James Everard, the wealthy New York brewer, The florist had decorated the Everard home with flowers on the 16th birthday of Miss Everard, and had put in a bill for $1,245. The evidence showed that the profit in flowers was about 100 per cent. Celebrated 59th Anniversary of Wed- ding. Mr. and Mrs. James McLaughlin of New Haven celebrated the 59th anni- versary of their marriage on Monday at their home, recelving informally all the afternoon and evening. There were many callers during the day and the host and hostess received many gifts. With them were their two chil- dren, Mrs, Louis Newell of Orchard street and Mrs. Annie Manning of Gil- bert street, Allington. Their ten grandchildren and eight great-grand- children were also present. Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin were mar- ried in New Haven in 1850 at old St. Mary’s church, which stood where Poli's new theater nQw stands. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father O'Brien, rector of the church, and the guests included all the Irish people in New Haven, who at that time numbered just about 100 people. The reception which followed was held at the hotel which occupied the site now covered by the Hotel Garde. The bride and bridegroom of 59 years agp went to housekeeping in the northeast part of the city, near Hamden, only half a mile from them being a settlement of Indians, / No More Sunday Shows.

At first the chief thought all his loy: bL. were on a strike, dldn’t take them long to him that such was not the . The visit of the captains was in recognition of Chief birthday. As a memorial they left a handsome framed picture, containing the por- traits of himself, Deputy Chief Dodds and every one of the eight captains in the department. . Chief Snagg is’ had very proud of the picture and has it hung in the most prominent part of his office.—Waterbury American. Funny Dobbin. The family horse, which rejoiced in the eminently proper name of Dobbin, had earned a rest by long service, and was accordingly sent away to the country to sperd his declining yearsin the broad pastures of a farmer friend of his owner. The distance being somewhat excesive for his rheumatic legs he was shipped to his new home by rail. Edna, the family four-year-old, viewed the passing of Dobbin with un- feigned sorrow. She sat for a long time gazing disconsolately ont of- the window. At last, after a deep sigh, she turned with a more cheérful ex— pression and_said: E “Did old Dobbin go In mamma?” “Yes, dear,” answered her mother. A broad grin spread over the little girl's face. “I was just thinking,” she said, “how funny he must look sit- ting up on the plush cushjons.”—Mon- treal Herald. the cars, The Turkey Outlook. ‘We must eat less beef or pay higher prices for it. In Kansas the turkeys which had the run of the prairies for yvears and were sent east in carloads at Thanksgiving time have met much the same fate as the “beef cattle” for farms have been made of the open lands and the turkey no longer chases the nimble grasshopper over the plain and turkeys are fewer in number and will, as a matter of course, be higher in price. And while the western supply—and the case is the same in other western states as in Kansas— is thus reduced, we hear that the eastern turkeys, those raised in New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island, are fewer in number than usual and so the turkey outlook is not a favor- able one. We regret the passing of the New England farm-raised birds which have for many years been the pride of the holiday business.—Bridge- port Standanrd.
