March 12. The con ference between the sub-committees of the anthracite mine workers and the anthracite operators, to arrange a new agreement to go into effect on the ex piration of the present working- ar rangement, came to an end late today without result.

'Mr. Lewis made another clear state ment or the mine workers' position. He revli'wed the various demands, giving special emphifiis to the question of recognition, lie maintained that he nd his committee represented the or ganized mine workers, and that if not l" recognized as representatives of the or ganization they had no standing and I could not venture to sign a contract J -which would bind anybody. He said --hat the committee was speaking tetricily in the interest of the anthra f --tte district," and were not attempting k- subordinate the anthracite to the f'lt ominous interests.

He cited the way it P-works in the senate, where for years r they have had such a committee, and they have as much trouble over there aa on the house side. He would not ay that he would vote for some other inan for speaker, but at this time no other name had been mentioned. While the letters being received by the delegation are not of the "ma--hlne" variety, inasmuch as thev dif fer somewhat In. language, but the re quests are inaH caces the fame. The adoption of the new ruie making Wednesday ef each week "calendar day" and the influence the new admin istration has in favor of the old house organisation has acted as a stop to much of the activity of the so-called "li'surgents" of the house.

They renewed their offer to con,. line the present agreement for a term of three years, and this was their linal proposition. Mr. Lewis requested that it be put in writing and that the op erators answered that it could toe con. sidered aa an exact duplicate c-f the one made in 1906. They called attention to tne number or the page of the min utes or tne meetings in 1906 upon wnicn Tne proposition appeared. "It was understood that another con ference would, be held after Mr. Lewis and his committee presented the oper ators' proposition to a convention of mine workers." Agreement Must Provide for Recogni tion.- The miners to.iight had nothing to say as lo tne probable action of the trl-district convention. The executive boards will meet in Central Labor un ion hall here tomorrow to fix the time and place of the convention and to Issue the call. Alter this they will leave for their respective homes and begin the work of stirring up the un ions to elect delegates to the conven tion.

He said also that an agreement of this kind must be signed toy the miners as otR cers of the union and not as repre sentatives of the anthracite, mine workers. If the miners support him in his attitude It looks as If there will be no agreement reached, because the op erators since 1900 have-been unaltera bly opposed to reeignizing the miners' organization.

There is a possibility of the men continuing to work without an agree ment and Ftriking at the various col-j lieries as grievances come up if they are not adjusted by the superinten dents o f these mines. This, It is point, ed out. would be a return to the chaotic conditions which prevailed prior to the strike of 1902. CHARGE AGAINST J. D.

Mismated Couples Divorced in Superior Court Certain Testimony Unprinta ble Former Oklahoma Man. Refused Admission to County Bar. Three uncontested divorce suits and one In. which a husband contested the desire of his wife for separation were heard In the superior court at Putnam Friday. Klmer J. Chase of Pomfret was granted a decree from Phoebe E. Chase, now Of Huntington, in this state, on the grounds of desertion. They were married in Chepachet, R. I.,' on May 28. 1884, and lived together for sixteen years. Two children were born of the union, now aged 23 and 19 years. In 1900 Mr. and Mrs. Chase were living in Danielson. At that time he was employed on construction work on the electric road near i Wllsonvllle. Mr. Chase told the court that he came home on Saturday night, Novi 13, 1900. after a week away at wwk, and found his wife and children gone and also the greater part of tbe furniture. They had had no quarrel and he knew of no reason why she wanted to leave him, Mr. Chase's statements were corrob orated by several witnesses, who also testified that he was n honest, hard working, temperate man who had al ways provided a comfortable home for his family. Decree for Putnam Wife. Cora B. Eddy of Putnam was given a divorce from Charles M- Kddy, now of Abington, on the ground of habit ual intemperance. Adultery was also charged by the plaintiff and Jessie Smith of Ahington named In connection with that charge.' Mr. and Mrs. Eddy were married in Putnam June 30, 1888, and had lived there up to the time that Eddy deserted his -wife on March 11 o last year and went to Abinpton. Mrs. Eddy told Judge Curtis that for twelve years she had supported hersf.lf by do ing laundry -and other work and that her husband gave very little towards maintaining the home. She said that her husband had been habitually in temperate fcr th lart three years that they lived together, was surly and cross and on two occasions actually struck her. Other witnesses testified In a similar vein as to the character .and conduct of the unfaithful husband. Attorney Charles 1. Torrey represented the plaintiff in both of the abovo cases. Baby-Tending Caused Family Jar. Edniond Pepin, of Danielson, repre sented, by Attorney lluber D. Card, sought a separation from the court on the ground of desertion. Hi$ wife, Exina Pepin, lives in Putnam. They were married in Putnam Jan. 23, 190-2, and the Sesertion occurred on July 18, 1904. One child, a boy. was born on July 18, .1903, and is in the care of the mother. The family ilisarrppmeh.t grw out of a difference of opinion on who should take care of the la!jy while the parents worked in the mill. Mrs. Pepin wanted her sister to live with them and care for tbe baby while she was at nl Churchman ond Extols Groaf fir. full flail work, but Mr. Pepin objected to sup porting another member of his wife's family and told her if she was not sat isfied with the" existing arrangement of leaving the baby with a neighbor dur ing the day she could stop working in the mill and care for it herself. Final ly the wife gave up employment in the mill and one night when the husband arrived home from work he found his wife,and baby gone and also all the furniture except that which was still unpaid for. This testimony "vas substantiated by witnesses. 'Judge Curtis reserved his decision. COUNTER CHARGE8. Mutual Accusations in Suit of Willi mantic Woman for Freedom. Because of the nature of the evi dence in the next case such ladies as were not present as witnesses and the younger men in attendance at court were requested to leave the room be fore any evidence was taken. It was a contested case for divorce brought by Sadie Maud Chirk of Willimantic against Dallis F Clark of N6W Britain, who was represented by Attorney Wil liam Dclaney of that city. Attorney S. IS. Harvey of Willimantic was counsel for Mrs. Clark. The ground charged was adultery at some time between May 14 and June 26 of Jast year. The couple were married at Willimantic Nov. 15, 1904.

Since that time, however, they have lived together for a day or several days at a time and on Uiftfciiviit occasion.-! as man and wife. Counter charges of infidelity were made to the court by means of letters that have passed between the two dur ing the past vc.ir nnd by testimony the nature of which does not permit pub lication. Dr. C. K. Simonds of Willi mantic was in attendance at court as a witness for the defendant. The taK. ing of evidence whs completed o late in the afternoon that Judge Curtis suggested to the attorneys that instead of making the arguments they submit briefs, Mr. Harvey to file hl3 by Tues day next and Mr. Delaney by Friday.

Car roll and Manchester of the A. C, to assist in the- formation of the league. After brief remarks bv. Mr. Whitney, Francis Kane was elected chairman and John Fields secretary. Chairman Kane presided in an able manner, making a fine Impression for the ability with which he despatched the business coming before the meet ing. Four Teams Choose Names.' The four ;teams shown to be pres ent and desiring to Join the City league, according to the applications made by their representatives, weje Outlaws of Greeneville, represented toy Joe L.

Slight Expansion in Dealings Tariff Legislation Keeps Market Dull. New York, March 12. The rather aimless drift of prices of stocks turned upwards today after an uncertain peri od, of backing and filling. Dealings expanded also slightly over yesterdav's low level for the year. The first hour's business gave promises of an even lower record of activity han yester day, but in the second hour there was some revival, a good proportion of the day's total business being done in that hour. The meagre speculation center ed in Reading and was based appar ently on the labor outlook. The re jection by the miners' representatives of the counter proposition of the an thracite operators ia accepted with professed equanimity by holders of Reading stock. The prospect of shut down of mining operations seems to be regarded not unfavorably as giving opportunity to dispose of an accumu lated surplus of coal and to reduce the international charges for carrying this surplus. This is an Argument advanc ed by .buyers of the stock. There is an undercurrent of belief that there will be no strike and this also is a factor In modifying the influence of the news from the conference. Some of the buying of Reading was .upposed to come from- uncovered shorts. The movement in the general list was lit tle more than one of sympathy wih that in Reading. The chance for any revival of stock market activity until the tariff legislation is out of the way is considered poor. There is some fear that the tariff bill when it comes from the commltee next week may contain some surprises that will prove disa greeable to those Interested in some of the Industries affected. The broad Intimation of a probable abolition of the duty on iron ore weakened the cer tificates of participation in the iron ore properties of the Great Northern railway today. Fitimatps of the week's currency movement were followed by languid Interest in view of the contin ued pressure of funds for lending. The price of copper was marked down again at the New Yck metal ex- liange and receded also in the Lon- uiin marKet. J ne iorign tnantets re- tort''l dial trading as well as here, but mine sensitiveness to rumors re garding Aunti-0-fiervian relations Is manifest.

Coast ar tillery, the arrangements for the game were satisfactory to all concerned. The Danielson team men were al most giants in comparison with the JNew Londoners, but this discrepancy in stature was counterbalanced by agility and watchfulness of every point of play. At the very stort, after brief preliminary practice, the indications favored a lively, close game. The lir.euDs were as follows: New London Daily if, Fenwick, Keefo rf, Davis c, MoGinley lg, Murray rg. Danielson Myers If, Keach rf, B. Marland c, Paine lg, W. Marland rg. Timer.

OANS-WHITE SLOW BOUT. Joe Wins, but Has Gone Back Eng lish man's Arm Bothers Him. New York, March 12. Joe Cans, the former lightweight champion of the world, easily defeated Jabei White, the English lightweight champion. In ten-round bout at the National Ath letic club tonight. The men were matohed to go ten rounds at 13o pounds and they weighed in at three o clock. Gans weighed In at 132 1 and White was just 135. It was a tame exhibition and the big crowd was disappointed, for the men were slow and many of their blows lacked force. White used his left cleverly in the first two rounds, but m the third ne changed nis tac tics, relying mainly on his right. Two rounds later the cause of this shift was apparent. He broke hia left arm some time ago in England and he hurt it earily in the third round tonight White was knocked down once in the sixth round, twice In the seventh when the bell saved him by one sec ond, and once, in the eighth. Gans was far from being the Gans of even two years ago. for he missed several blows, misjudged distances and failed to take advantage of many openings. WHY ONLY $50,000? Jeffries Spurns Mcintosh Offer Bigger Purses -in Sight Must Be Sure of Winning. New York. March 12. "Why only $50,000?" asked James J. Jeffries, scornfully, today, when told of Hugh Mcintosh's proposal to give a $50,000 purse for a Jeffries-Johnson battle. Jeffries also took exception to the Australian promoter's suggestion that the fight take place in England. This offer of a 360,909 purse doesn't look very attractive," ie said. "How about the $200,000 offers? Why. a svn dicate in Seattle, backed by responsi ble men, had made a bona fide offer of purse of $150,000 for a contest at the Seattle exposition. 'But it isn't a matter of money with me. All the money in the world would not drag me into the ring If I thought was going to be licked. If I eot into shape and thought I could beat Johnson, I'd fight him for nothing. l will never enter the rlnsr aa-aln unless I feel sure I have got back my old ngntmg lorm. I shall not fight anyone unless I think I can do mv- seir justice.' HAYES' CHANCE. Fine Opportunity to Redeem Himself Against Italian. New York. March 12. When Haves ana .uoranao meet at the Marathon distance. 26 miles and 385 yards, in Madison Square garden on Monday nignt, is sate to say tnat the Italian residents of this elty will not bet much on the result. When Dorando de feated Hayes here last December the Italians cleaned up handsomel but when Doradno waa trimmed hv Long boat later ther dropped not only their winnings but a lot ol their hard earn ed savings. It cannot be said, how ever, that the Italians have entirely lost connaence in uoranao as a Mara thon runner, for they still believe that he is a wonder. But owing to the re ported improved condition of Haves. who has been training hard for several weeks, Doranddo's followers will doubtless keep their pockets cad- locked. Hayes has a chonce not only to redeem himself by taking Dorando' measure but also to get matches with Longboat, Maloney and Shrubb. It is a fact that Hayes was not at his best when he lost to Dorando, but he will have no excuses to offer this time. Cy Seymour Scraps, Is Fired. St. Louis, March 12. A special to the Post -Despatch "from Marlin, Tex., says that Cy -Seymour, center fielder for the New York National league team, was discharged by Manager Mc Graw today following an encounter be tween Seymour and Arlie Latham, coach of the team. Latham claims that Seymour knock ed him down without provocation. The despatch says' that McGraw ordered the fielder to leave the field when the lat ter appeared for practice. The special says that Manager Mc Graw has issued a statement saying that waivers will be asked or on Sey mour's contract at once and that he will be sold to some other club. The fight took place in the Arlington hotel and Latham was prone and toeing beat en when Manager wcuraw heard the disturbance, rushed from his room and reparated the men. When Seymour had been barred, rrom the.piayinsr field he returned to the hotel, packed his trunk and announced his intention at returning to the east at once, accord ing to the despatch from Marlin.

No Batters at Yale. Walter J. Bigelow. Yale '77, captain of the '76 and '77 varsity nines gives his views in the Yale News on pro fessional baseball coaching at Yale and the poor baters that Yale has turned out. He said: "Yale has returned to the profes sional system and I believe she has done wisely. System In athletics is everything; and system Is best secured by employing a professional who can give his entire time to teaching the fine points of any given sport. If we have a baseball system at New Haven the record for the last ten years or so would seem to Indicate that it has a weak spot, and that spot Is poor bat ting. All Yale nines field well, but tneir batting is usually poor." Northampton Paya Up. Gilbert Edwards of the firm of Bowl er Edwards of Northampton, to whom the Meriden franchise in the Connecticut league .will be transferred, met Dan O Neil, representing the Mer iden owners, Thursday, in Holyoke, and paid- over the last half of the pur chase money. This gives the North ampton club a clear receipt. This In stallment was not due before the open ing of the season, April 23. but the Northampton owners preferred to con clude the transactions early. The fans In Northampton and surrounding towns are greatly pleased over the baseball prospects at "Hamp." BASEBALL BRIEFS. Eddie Slever, former member of the Tigers, will play with the Montreal team of 'the Eastern league this sea son, as announced by James Casey, manager of the Canadians. Tom Dowd would like to ret Jack CLeary for his New Bedford team. Owner Clarkin says his desire to dis pose of CLeary is simply an echo of the desire expressed by the catcher himself. Joe Connor has refused to accept a cut in salary from Manager Zeller and If he can get his release from Springfield he would like to be ap pointed playing manager of the Wa terbury team. f Not one of the champions of a few years ago now remains on the payroll of the Boston Red Sox. Their suc cessors, so John I. Taylor thinks, are Just as good, but they don't win flags the same way. Manager Hanna of New Britain has signed a first baseman to take the place of John Bunyan. The new man is H. J. Mason of Warren, Pa., who played with Troy last season. His bat ting average was .278. President James 'T. Smith of the New Bedford baseball association said Friday that Jesse Burkett had recent ly told him that the only club he fear ed in the New England leatrue waa the New Bedford outfit-under Tom Dowd. Manager O'Rourke has signed Ear Powell of Pittsburg, a brother of the pitcher who was with Springfield last season and who Is now with the Pi rates. Powell pitched In the Ohio and Pennsylvania league and did good work. He ia nearly six feet tall and weighs 190 pounds. It begins to look as though Big Bill Massey would land with the Columbia (S. C.) team in the south Atlantic league, a shift suggested by Jack Zel ler. the Pony pilot. Negotiations will be opened up with the southern club at once, ana ii any Kina or a lair offer is made for bill, be will be turned loose. Near Death in Big Pond.

Pure Blood in Spring Makes Perfect Health The blood is rightly because without it life is In an adult the blood averages eighteen pounds or fully one-eighth. of the entire weight. It is composed of liquids- and solids. The liqnid portion is a watery, albuminous fluid amounting to about three-fifths of the whole. Minute particles, known as blood corpuscles, constitute the remaining two-fifths. There are both red and white corpuscles, the red ones greatly outnumbering the white. The red corpuscles contain, as an active in gredient, a chemical substance having iron in its composition. There are millions of white blood corpuscles, which protect the red blood corpuscles and bodily tissues from disease germs, to which you are more exposed at this season than at any other. Healthy blood is pure blood, and at no season is it more necessary than in the spring. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes healthy blood. It is the medicine that purifies and enriches the blood and makes it normal in red and white corpuscles and all other constituents. It cures all humors and eruptions, catarrh, and rheumatism, relieves that tired feeling, re stores the appetite, cures paleness, weakness, nervousness, and builds up the whole system.

The permission to sell diseased meat given by Dr. Peters, chief of the Mas sachusetts cattle bureau, has called forth a storm of denunciation which must make his ears ring. If tubercu losis Is so much to be feared, It Is a crime for a man in his position to permit infected meat to be sold In th market A denouncer of Dr. Peters' conduct ia Dr. G. K. Hagen Burger, an associate ef Br. Koch, and he says of 'slightly Infected meat": "I -would not eat beef that was In any way Infected wllh tubercle bacilli, nor would I give it to my dog." This wide difference of opinion among men of ability and familiarity with the subpect 1? very confusing to th laity, and tends to queer the whole Subject; out then doctors seldom do agree, so It Is not so surprising at it at first acems to be, TH XPECTATIONS OF BOY HOOD. Boy begin to take a serious view at life earlier than most people think, and early decide what they intend to do or to be a men. To see what these early decision amounted to, a super intendent of schools In Wakefield, Mass., eleven years ago, made a note of what 467 twelve-year-old boys ex pected to do in life for support of themselves and families, t-hould they have them. He has now traced out 406 of those boys and finds that at 22 years of age all but five of them are follow ing different occupations from what they thought they should. Thia goes to show that in this whirligig world of otirs that the growing man cannot do what he will but what he must. It is not probable that these 400 boys of 22 will remain In the occupations they were found in, for It Is by fol lowing an occupation nnpreferred that th- preferred calling or business is attained.' "Life is a hard road to trav el" but the American boy gets over the road and win out oftener than any other. WHO INVENTED. THE MONITOR? It baa always been supposed that Kricsson invented the turreted, low board monitor which overcame the Ironclad confederate ram, the Merri mae, but on the 47th anniversary of that' event, March 9th, It was an nounced that Theodore R. Trimby of Brooklyn, now living In cramped cir cumstances, invented the boat and was paid $5,000 royalty by the com pany building th first two monitors, but further than that ha never re ceived a oeot, or even recognition by the government who are using the tur ret on the battleship today. The K York legislature ha recognized the claim of Trimby to the honor. And had it not been for- an enterprising company of Connecltcut capitalists, the Monitor would not have been ready and th Merrimac would have bom barded Washington, as Secretary Stanton feared, and laid all the cities along the seaboard under contribution. Connecticut not only shines as the Constitution state -but as the state which had men whose foresight saved tin nation when it seemed Impossible to do so. UNMINDFUL OF THE NERVOUS. Dr. Thomas F. Harrfngton, director of physical training in tlfe public schools of Boston, does not agree with those who are making the present.agl tation against, consumption, and he declares that the present persecution of the Consumptive invaUd Is "cow ardly, cruel and inhuman." The state ment of the effect of the agitation up on those suspected of having tubercu losis; made by Governor Ulley, to show the public obligation to these suffer ers, cortfirms rather than- refutes Dr. Harrington's averment. Nervous people are being frightened by tie agitation and It is alleged that "some of them If they hear a hard cough In a car are likely to leave th car. If they see a thin, wan figure In a store they fidget and whisper and de cide to take no chances and to buy else where. If there is a consumptive in a building ia which they ara tenants they become anxious to move, and move at once. Some ara so terrorized that they seem to fear to stop and chat for a moment with a sick friend in the street. Exciting fear of disease is against th well-being of the en tire community.

President Castro of Venezuela, reports are true, has not the millions in foreign banks which he waa re ported to have had, and he Js said to be short of funds and in love with lils country aa never before. His pat riotlc fervor is shown in thl utter ance of his: "L'pon tha altar of noble purpose I have sacrificed all that I highest to man my leisure, my possession and mv very existence. In th service of sacred duty which love of my country has Imposed upon me I have exhaust ed all my strength. Thus I cre ated splendid peace with a titanic stroke of my powerful arm, which nearly demolished three of th might ieat nations of the Old World. Venezuelans, a great heart knows no Hint for revenge. I forgive you freely, and while I say my last farewell, am constrained to declare that in my breast there still glows the sacred Are of patriotism, which will enable me, should the fatherland again need my services, to gird on my glorious fight Ine armor with undiminished courage.' If he would write a comedy and stage it in America, acting as the star himself, there Is no question but he might make enough money here to command Venezuelan respect and to sain restoration to the hearts of his countrymen. Cipriano Castro Is a valiant warrior when he verbally paints his own pic ture. SUPERSENSITIVE. The supersensitive are more to be pitied than blamed, for they put an interpretation upon conditions which are unwarranted. This is what a Vir ginia' sorehead writes to the Rich mond Times-Despacth: "The soldiers who went to the in auguration received no attention from any one and were absolutely Ignored. In fact, one member of the Blues told me that the northern soldiers, so far from appreciating their presence at the Inauguration, eemed to look on it In the light that the Blues were being honored by being allowed to mingle with them. "If such Is the spirit manifested in Washington, I for one, say let our soldiers stav at home In future. In New Kngland they were treated glori onsly, but In Washington they were absolutely ignored in every way." This in mostly of the Imagination, for Washington is southern in all re spects in its sympathies and in Its prejudices and It Is not likely that the Virginia troops' were slighted any more than New Enpland troops. The complainant was not there,, but he Is a southerner and a democrat, and shows the sectional and partisan spirit which is never rational and which makes rltiable objects of otherw; good citizens. EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: A saint like face is no assurance of a saint like character.- When ihe Simplified Spelling board points out our errors we smile and keep on in the errors of the past; Taft does not wish, to be classed with the martyrs. He is a duty man and takes and gives hard knocks good naturedly. The citizen who does not today see more than he can solve tomorrow needs have his powers of observation Improved. It 'Is predicted that New York fifty years henc will be a city with twen ty million people. What a bid' for skyscrapers. Because Cambridge has voted for "no license" for the 13th time, it Is concluded that she Is very partial to Boston liquors. Booker Washington calls prohibition "a second emancipation," and, where personally applied, It is not one whit less than that. If Senator Piatt lets hi Memoirs show up political life as he threatens to, future reformers will have plenty of material to work from. Cuba has decided to permit cock fighting only on Sundays and holidays. It does not mean to have the sport interfere with regular business. The size and simplicity of spring hats for women makes It apparent that a clothes basket and a grape vine are sufficient to get up stylish headgear. Th political problem south at pres ent Is how to drop Bryan. That should not be considered a very masterly act The way to drop a thing is to let go. A "Don't Spit league" has been formed among the government soldiers in Florida. A "Don't Chew league" would harness up with that very well. While taxes are proposed, for bach elors and aliens for the right to live in independence and peace, no one ever thinks of special-taxing the scal lawag out of existence. Three Chicago highwaymen who held up a citizen and robbed him of 46 cents received a life sentence In pris on. If they h?d stolen a million they could have compromised. A movement is on foot in the New England states to have wild water fowl protected from December SI to September 1 in every year, 4a save them from extermination. This is a good move. I THE filAN WHO IAIKS A celebrated nhvsiciarf said that he felt like asking every patient whether he was a soul or a body, and it strikes me that this is a mighty good ques tion for every mother's son of us to sit right down and ask oursetves. It really becomes the noblest creature God has made to sit down and inquire of himself-whether he is most like angel or an ass. It is a way to get the mind to recognize that the animal Is distinct from the sDlrlt ana to real ize that it is the spirit's place to rule the animal.-not th animals piace to- rule the- spirit. It makes all the difference in the world to the Individ ual whether he grovels or soars whether the best in him or the worst in. him' dominates. We do not take counsel of ourselves often, enough we do not do honor to the best that is in us. Alan is developed from within outward and the earlier In life he learns this fact and that he should be master of himself, the better man he makes. I tell you there are more brave wo men Jn the world than the world gets credit for. My attention was recently called to one who was bringing up right children, four boys and four girls, with a husband whom she de scribed as "a 12-a-week man to the children and me a multimillionaire in goodness.-1 That is not the kind of an-endorsement that gets a man 'a paying Job in the world, but it is a great compliment from a happy help meet Here are ten people in a great itv wliu are trying to keep a home and raise good American citizens on an average of 2a cents a aay ior xuei, rent and raiment; and somebody rises up to ask if two can mate on $12 a week. These are good hearts and brave hearts called "persons" by self-assuming ladies and gentlemen: and in such the well-being of the nation abides. These are the Kind of par ents who make great men of their boys because of their patience, fidel ity and perseverance. They never grumble they strive. Some men act as if they thought it was effeminate to be pleasant, and when in authority they are gruffy and stern "because they think these net tling qualities best become a boss. It has been said that the best governed nation Is the one governed with the least law; and the best boss is the man who can get from those In his employ the most work with the least bossing. The affable- man is a power; and the haughty man is usually a fool. Cold looks and frigid commands inspire no kindness wake up no co-operative spirit. The man who assumes supe riority and shows it Is pretty sure to Trftj the 111 will of those upon whom he is most dependent for success in life. The man who knows now to arways o innnv has all other men beaten to a standstill whatever his vocation In life may be. Too many youag man, as well as old. depend upon "the giddy Jamboree or the night" for their entertainment They are without purpose they are not bent upon increasing their treas ures, but only upon multiplying their amusements. The fellow, be he young or old. who after supper tilts his hat on his ear and a cigar In his mouth is usually bound to the devil although he would get mad were you to speak to him about It While others are add- intr fo the real Joy of living, lite is slipping away from him and he feigns not to know it Th giaay jamooree of the night" has got him, and the police have their eye on him as one of the suspects of the town. The man of poise and character knows whera he is and when, and what he go for. No man can tell what can b got out. of a garden except the one who runs t. While the principal purpose of gardening is for the cropa, one inci dentally gets neaitn ana no ena, oi ex perience; and the experience varies from week to week and from year to year. The smallest garaen paten can teach a man patience, and take the conceit out of him. The garden fs the school tiiat teaches one what he doesn't know. It always holds plenty of sug gestions and hard knocks. It takes some time to understand a garden patch its nature and its needs; and then when you think you are the mas ter of it, it does not take it long to disclose to vou your own deficiencies. A little garden has great possibilities. and as a source of recompense it can never be exhausted. The man who is always needing a fresh start in life is not as rare as he ought to be. He gets to the point where he must have a new suit of clothes and tha services of a barber before he can get a permanent Job. He never thinks. poor soul, that h needs new naoits and a better breath- A. breath which has to be disguised with cardamons is never above suspicion. Ha loves tha enemy, but it is not the kind of an enemy which makes love for It aChrls- tian virtue, and the enemy steals away every good quality h gets where he looks his worst ana smells ditto; ana then he reforms and kind people help him. He needs a fresh start but his appetite is against him, and he doesn't go far or keep fresh long, and this is life to hira. The fresh-starters are a hard crew, for thoy are always on their uppers when they are not living upon their friends. They complain of poor health and wonder why thay should break down early in life. I think that giving good advio Is the poorest work I ever engaged In I am consclout that I do not know how to do and sort of semi-conscious ef the fact that if I could live up to my good advice myself I should find no need of offering it to others. I somehow am inclined to take rood advlc very much as a tramp takes a pair of old shoe wnicn have no service m them, as evi dence of a lack of inspection which Is defenseless. We mortals have queer ways of doing things, or half doing them; and then sitting 'down and haking hands with our consciences on our own goodness. -.Our own goodness is our worst conceit; and the man. who prides himself on his excellencies is always blind to his own faults.- What It becomes us to see Is the good traits in others, and wo should be able tr do it without carrying about with a hand magnifying glass far the rumose. It Is better to live advice than it is to have so much to give away. I haven't seen the first bluebird yet ut I have- seen the first peekaboo waist. Those thin, whirled, stllettoed, multifariously ventilated garments which are better adapted for he play of Tuue zephyrc than March irales- And all of those fancifully arranged holettes seem ed to eay pneumonia pneumonia pneumonia; but the wearer did not seem to be conscious of this doleful ote of t.n unseasonable waist She reminded me of a fever Datient who was conscious of his own neglect and who in moments of delirium saw the words "fool and Fldo" dancing on the an neiore nim.

Oeasionally vanity is not aa senseless s it appears it guards Its own- reck- essness. It is to be hoped that this isplay of March vanity was of th mailed order.

"So bru talizing! It never does any good." "Not the least in the world," said the matron in the mink coat. "I think !t would kill Jamie if I should whip him. I made up my mind when he was a baby that no matter what he did nobody should ever lay a hand on him In anger. I told Mr. C&wson that if w couldn't bring that child up with out blows we wer unworthy to be parents. I-believe It Just hardens a child and makes him all the meaner."

As nonl vearn to live without work and to accumuate large fortunes one would think that the statement that "there Is no pleasure in idleness and no Joy In selfishness" was -without foundation in fact: but th man of sense and industry knows that occupa tion Is the awakaner 01 interest in an things: and that selfishness is the source of most of the world's trials and miseries. The man with the most time and Increment upon his hands is far from being best loved or happiest It is possible for a man to be as much a Slav to wealth or selfishness as to ap petite. Happiness has less to do with what a man has than with what a- man Is! The man who makes things Is superior to the man who buys things. The fruit of ton Is wealth, and the Joy of wealth is In making it serviceable to others. The Idl rich ar unenviably distinct. SUNDAY MORNING TALK! i HUMAN TYPES THE PESSIMIST. Only last week I stood with one for a half hour on the front platform of a car. Th sky waa overcast and his face mor so. As from time to time he turned th "Jule" on and off I could sea that it was a tired, dispirited man who was guiding that car. Ask ing htm if he had attended any of the special religious meetings in the city lately, I learned that all his spare time had been given to caring for a sick friend who had died the night before. "And now," continued th man at th brake, "things look pretty dark." I tried to rally him by reminding him that he had still his own life to live and that he could naturally expect at least twenty years of happy life. "I don't care whether it is twenty or two," he gloomily replied. "In fact, I shouldn't care if it ended today." There you hav your pessimist and this particular one haa ample com pany today, not only In men of his own class, but In men who stand high in philosophy. But somehow I have les symapthy with the philosophical pessimist, the man who reasons it all cut theoretically that this is the worst possible world, than I have with the pessimist who thinks he is forced into pessimism by the hard conditions of his own life. If I were going to spend my days and nights constructing a svstem of philosophy. I should try .to build a cheery, hopeful one. But for the man who is chronically "loomy be cause he has to stand at the brake all day long, or to do even' harder and n-ore monotonous things, who has to shovel coal into the fires that drive the throbbing engines of an ocean liner, the woman who has to leave her own children with a neighhor whil sh earns their daily bread, (flie child who goes to soma monotonous and paralyz ing employment .every morning, When he ought to be on his way to school, I have a heart full of sympathy.

And all of should recognize the service which the pessimist renders by recalling us now and then to the hard, sober, painful facts of life. But let the pessimist lso sea things straight and see life as a whole. A cute distinction some witty fellow has made between optimist and pessimist The former, he says, sees the dough nut the latter the hole. Is it too much to ask of any motorman, for example, that he be fair and broad enough to look occasionally at the doughnut, to hear the laughter of the happy chil dren whom he carries day by day, to recognize the beauty and order of the universe all about him and the in disputable fact vmat' more 'people are happier more often than they are Bad.

Let him be can did enough to own that these are the real, things in human life; to admit with Archbishop French: That doubt and trouble, fear and pain, A.nd anguish all are shadows vain; That death Itself shall not remain. Another bright charactrlzatlon of the pessimist is this: "Ho is the man who. when he sees the tide go out, thinks it will never come back." Are you so impatient my pessimistic friend, that you cannot wait for the turn of the tide? THE PARSON. Not Guilty.

Former Norwloh Man Serving Ssntenes in Rhode Island. Life Governor Pothier of Rhode Island has received petitions asking for ths pardon of two men now serving life sentences for murder, Dennis C. Mur phy alias "Spike" Murphy, formerly of Norwich, and Allen W. Dorsey. Both these men toava been inmates of the Rhods Island state prison for upwards of 20 years. The crimes for which they were sentenced were of a nature which startled the communities In which they occurred. Murphy was convicted of killing Waterman Irons, and Dorsey for tho death of Benjamin Burton. The murder for which Murphy was Incarcerated occurred in the summer of 1888, when people on Christian Hill were shocked by ths death of Water man Irons, nearly 90 years old. who for more than 60 years had conducted a small hide store on the south aids of what was then High street, now West minster, in a small building, opposite Dean street. The aged merchant was known to carry large sums of money in an old-fashioned wallet In an In side pocket. About the middle of an afternoon In ths latter part of August, 18S8, just after Mr. Irons had returned from lunch, Murjhy and a companion, who was said to be a man named Hackett, entered ths place and engaged the merchant In conversation. Ths two Intruders attacked the storekeeper In the back room, ona clutchiag him by ths throat, while the other attempted to take tha wallet from his pocket. Mr. Irons made such a fight that -be was thrown to the floor, ons of the assailants falling upon him. In the fall, one of Mr. Irons' ribs was frac tured and It punctured the Intestines, the contents of whioh, flooding the ab dominal cavity, caused peritonitis, from which the merchant died the fol lowing day. Murphy was speedily captured, but his companion managed to make his escape from ths city and although the authorities have sought for him, they have been unable to trace him. Mur phy was about 19' years old when he came to Providence, and .posing as a prize fighter, fell Into bad company, which finally resulted In his Implica tion In ths murder case. Murphy, after his Imprisonment gave ths prison authorities considerable trouble and was considered an incor rigible by the late Warden Vlall. In ths early '90s, when "Gentleman George" Ellwood made an attempt to break jail, Murphy was his compan ion. This was the most desperate attempt to escape ever recorded at the Rhode Island state prison. Just as the two prisoners reached' the door leading from the prison yard to ths jail wing they were met by Deputy Warden Rows. Ellwood grappled with the dep uty, but Murphy fled back to the shop. Ellwood was shot by Deputy Rows and died from ths wounds. Ths deputy was so seriously Injured in tbs struggle that his death followed a short time later. A number of attempts have been made to secure a pardon for Murphy, and ths petition of his friends has been received annually by ths chief executive. FORMER NORWICH WOMAN STOPS RUNAWAY. Mrs. Q. F. Wsll Rescues Child from Perilous Position. Mrs. Georgs F. Wall, formerly of this city, but who now resides at East Wal pols. Mass, was coming out of a de partment 'stors at Norwood last Wed nesday, when she saw a horse tearing madly down tb street, attached to a light buggy, Its sole becupant being a little gin about t years of ago. Mrs. Wall dropped her parcels on the side walk, rushed into the street, struck tha horse a blow on tbe nose with her umbrella, and aa ho reared grabbed him by tho bits, and though she was dragged several feet, finally succeeded In stopping ths frightened animal, and held on until assistance came. Mrs. Wall deserves much credit for her bravo deed and great presence of mind, although she smilingly declared "I just couldn't help It." MIS8 DARBY SURPRISED.

The -railroad committee at Hartford heard a bill introduced by Representa tive Forster of Vernon, Thursday aft ernoon, concerning vestibules In elec tric cars. .This measure called for the equipping of cars used upon any elec tric railroad with a vestlbult at each and of each car. It was supported by a delsgation from- tha Trolleyman's union of Hartford, consisting of Jo seph E. Dunn, William F. Brown and Edward P. Lawton. Messrs. Leonard and Donahue were present from tho TroUeyrwsato nioa at Norwich. Jackson Regarding the Four and New London He will be and only the best of the high-class at tractions will be taken on--Whenever such a bill would conflict with the vaudeville, the latter will be transfer red to the Auditorium for the nights there are conflicts. The Broadway and Lyceum will be opened under ths new regime with a higher clas9 of vaudeville than has ever been presented In the two cities, and the' theaters under their control havo ths advantage of securing the best, being in touch with all kinds of acta, and they will allow only the top notchers to enter the circuit. .Inasmuch as It will be possible to book acts for a period of forty weeks. It will be in a position to command and get the best on the boards. The price at the the aters for the vaudeville attractions will bo ten cents to any part of the house, with an afternoon, performance and two In the evening. Manager Jackson said that the staffs in ths houses would remain the same, unless It may be deemed advisable for the better of the servico to make changes. H is confident that ths com bination will be a success anJ will re sult in better filling the wants of the public In the entertainment line,, both as to vaudevdlls and high class at tractions. Both men are acknowledged masters of the business, and ths pub lic will thereby profit from the experi ence of these men in their broadened field. WANT MORE FORTS ON FiSHER'S I3LA-ND.

Friday evening there was an encour aging attendance at the Gospel serv ice at the First Baptist church. Lewis R. Nickle sang Dear to the Heart of ths Shepherd. The achievement of Shamgar, the third leader of Israel In the line of the Judges (Jud. 3:11). when, single- handed, he slew 600 Philistines with an ox goad, furnished the basis of Mr. Luther's address last evening. Five lesson he drew from it. First, the un failing resources of God; H Is never short of men. Second, the possibilities of one-talented people. Third, the Im portance of little things, ordinary things; even an ox goad. Fourth, the power of single handed faith. Fifth, the glorified reward; God's honor roll. These points, enlarged upon, and illus trated by Incidents from Bible and secular history and applied to th re ligious needs of Norwich today, made up ons of the most practical addresses the evangelist has given during the past week.
