The Latest.
Some weeks ago the GAZETTE called
attention to t' no disreputable action of
the Hourin prevailing upon a news-
dealer to fold a free copy of that sheet
into every copy of the GAZETTE sold, in
. order to increase the Hour’s circula-
tion. As soon as this low, oo'ntemptible
business practice was exposed it im~
meliately ceased.
But breed will tell, and we were not
su1prised on Saturday last when One of
the Gunners bright little newsboys
’ stated that an agent was going ow: r his
route attempting to get Lis customers
to stop their GAZETTE and take the
Hour. He fiirther said, however. that
the agent had not as yet succeeded in,
obtaining a single one of his customers
to make 1he exchange.
This little be)", like many another,
has worked hard to get a paying route,
and when a new'Spaper gets‘ so low that
it attempts to'take a half—cent from a
poor newsboy, it is indeed ‘ in hard
strait: ' I.

Turn on the Searchlight.
The act-ion of the Republicans in the
House of Representatives in determin-
ing what claims against the Treasury
remaiii unpaid‘is timely arid right. It
is plain that the payment of many
claims has been systematically staved
off for the purpose of» making a favor-
able Treasury showing, and the people
demind to know to what extent this
_sort- of trickery has succeded in hiding
the real financial condition of the Gov—
ernment. That the Treasury deficit is
enormous is already known, but there
are reasons for believing that the
worst has not been told, and it would be
absurd'for Congress to undertake revc«
nus legislation until the actual truth
was established. It is possible that the
forthcoming report of Secretary Car-
lisie may shed further light on this
subject, but when the garbled charac-
ter of recent Treasury statements is
remembered it is evident that the re—
port in question cannot be ucCepted as
implicitly trustworthy. Let the inves-
tigation into the matter of overdue and
unpaid claims be prompt and searching.

Cheerful Resignation.
The spirit of cheerful resignation in
which Cilia? go and Pittsburg submit to
the inexorable decree that sends the
lepublican National Convention to St.
'Loiiis is 'an admirable exhibition of
sense. The Chicago Journal
stiles emphatically that “St. Louis de-
served success,” that of all the com-
pe gict:cs, St. Louis "and the best
claim: next to Chicago.’ In spite of
Mr. Cotter s virtuously indignant
denial of the auction theory,
cago contemporary asserts that “It was
alluqucstion of cish,” and that Chi-
crgo had “nothing but a bluff” in her
hand.
The Piltsburg Dispatch appears to be
happy in the reflection that though
1’ tasburg failed in a heroic effort to se-
cure the Republic in National Conven~
t: on next she secured the Probi-
bition National Convention with hardly
'1 he Dispatch magnani‘-

any effort.
mousiy suggests that under the circum- r
s‘ances it will only be fair for the sub-
aoribers to the I'lspublican Convention
fund to allow at least a portion of their
subscriptions to stand for the entertain-
ment of the conveuiiou that is coming.
When one remembers that the de-
struction of the Republican party is the
chief end and aim of the Prohibition
party, this suggestion looms up as an
instance of just such generosity us is

tion. “T .LJOVC 3’ our enemies,” but is sel-
dom or never seen in politics.

Mortality In High Places
The death of Allen G. Thurman re»

didatcs for Vice President with Presl'
flout Cleveland on the National ticket

are dead.

Mr. Hendricks, who was
elected Vice President with Cleveland
in 1884, died in the early part of his
ten), and Mr. Thurman succeeded him
on the Democratic national ticket for
Vice President with Cleveland in 1888.
It is also a remarkable fact that there
is to- -d:.1y but one living ex- President,
and but one living ex Vice Pres1dent.
The living tax-President is Benjamin
Harrison, who is yet in full mental and.
physical vigor and a candidate for the
Republican nomination in 1896,111111 ,
the single living ex-V ice President is
Governor Morton, Who . is also a can-
didate for President, although he has
already passed the patriarchal age. _
Another fact worthy of notice is that
there is not a. single defeated candidate
for President or Vice President now liv»
ing excepting Harrison and Reid.
Blaine and Logan were defeated in 1884.
Hancock and English were defeated in
1881‘). Tilden- and Hendrick were. de-
feated in 1876, and Grecly and Brown
were defeated in 1873, all of whom have
gone to join the great majority.
There are now but two widows of
Presidents among the living. They

Officer Hunt found the side door of
the Hour office open about 2 o’clock,
Sunday morning. He went inside,
turned on an electric light, and finding
no one about telephoned for Captain
Dann, who hastened to the scene, ex-
pecting to find the officer engaged in a‘
tussle with a safe-burglar. He is re-
ported as having said, “Gosh ding it, I
went through this street twice tJ-night,
and never thought about trying the
door.” The door was fastened and the
property protectors resumed their
beats. It is thought that the d )or was
left open after the manner in which a
counterfeit die was alleged to have been
secretedsome months ago for the pur-
pose of getting a “scoop” item. Per-
ish such a thought; Mr. Maples has all

Death of “Cooper” Roberts.
William Cooper Mead Roberts died
at his home'in Rowayton, yesterddy,
aged 42 years. He was a. son of John
R)berts and was born in this city.
When a youngster he enjoyed quite a
reputation as a base ball player. He
later conducted a meat market on
Water street, and did quite a thriving
business for a time. Experiencing
business troubles he closed up his
market and was employed in various
capacities in New York. Some months
since he became unable to work and
going to his home in Rowayton .has
graduhlly declined until death claimed
him as above. The deceased had a
pleasing manner which gained for him
scores of friends who will _regret to
learn of his death.

IS HE A CHRONIC KICKER?
A War Veteran Asleep on at Franklin
Avenue Fence.
Late Saturday night, Officer Hunt
had his attention attracted to a mall
who was apparentlytrying to hold up a-
fence‘on" Franklin avenue. He noticed
that the man was aged, and wont to his
assistance and was'dumfounded to find
that the man was fast asleep. After
considerable trouble he aroused him,
and then instinctively. found that in.-
stead of the man holding up the fence,
the fence was holding up the man and a
very large jag. After considerable
trouble the unfortunate fellow was
landed in the station house.
He was supplied with food by Land-
lord Howard, and this morning escorted
before his honor, Judge Hubbell at
which time he gave his name as Philip
Fitmimmons' and his residence the
Soldiers’ Home at Norot'on.
He as usual wit-h drunks from that in-
stitution had a sad tale of woe. but un-
like some others had the fortune to se-
cure a pass admitting him to the Town
Farm which he produced in court.
Judge Hubbell fined him $55 and sus-
pended execution of the fine.

simmons only a few weeks since re
ceived a similar sentence from. Judge
Frost at South Norwalk. Evidently

pine trees, valued at at least $150. They

Tired WOmen
Should stop and consider the danger:
which threaten them because of their
weakness, languor and lack of ambition.
Thousands of women find their strength
unequal to the demands of duty. And
yet there is no escape from the incessant
round of care and toil. They must have
strength. How shall it be given? By:
building up their systems through puri-
fied, enriched and vitalized . blood.
Boodle Sarsapsrilla will give them
strength because it will make their blood
pure and enable it to feed the nerves upon
proper nourishment. It will create an
appetite, tone the stomach and invigorate
even organ. It' is what tired women need..
