BARNES STRIKES BACK. ‘William Barnes, chairman of the epublican state committee of New fork, has brought suit against Wil- am H. Anderson, superintendent of he Anti-Saloon league of the same tate, for $5,000 damages. on. . the ‘sund that he openly charged him ith using his influence to kill a pro- ibition measure in the last legisla- re, that he also referred to him as “boss” which he characterizes as an dious and opprobrious name. It is cubtful if Mr. Barnes lost any sleep ver being called a “boss,” though he s ‘probably become tired of being ccused of killing off proposed legis- tion when perhaps he had nothing do with it. There has been altogether too much buge of public men in this country nd Mr. Barnes has certainly had ore than his share. The suit, if it is ried, will’ clear up the question’ as 0 how much he was to blame for the efeat of the 'bill in question. It’ as become almost a custom to ac- luse certain men of wrongdoing in blic life without hardly- a thought to whether the accusation is true. makes no difference .how much it hurt or injure a person’s charac- ér, those things are thrown out omiscuously and because the ac- used 'person ‘does not dignify them by enial or by seeking justice in-the ourts they assume at once that the tories are true. In the present case « opportunity is to be. given the au- or of a story which has given of- nse to prove his assertion. That is yhat should be done every time an un- ue statement is made against every blic man. If it were, a great many beople would be more careful in their jpeech. AGAINST SECRET SESSIONS. Nine members of the United States enate have Tevelted against secret essions ‘unless ‘the business under onsideration has some relation with oreign matters. The announcement yas made yesterday by Senator La- ‘oflette after the nomination of Win- hrop M. Daniels for interstate com- lerce commission. There is a great deal of flapdoodle kbout senatorial dignity for in nearly Ml cases of secret sessions the bus- ness is afterwards made public and is has been the cause of much sus- hbicion and unfriendly criticism = of cnators as to who “leaked.” It used G be said that each of the big dailies epresented in Washington had one enator at least on whom it could re- for a report of the doings of the This criticism ot embers, however, was not always of e right persons.. It used to be said hat the late David B. Hill was in- slined to talk about these matters on he outside, but those who knew him intimately it while he,.as in ther matters, refused to comment pon the at all. Some- hody, however, does it and the secrct ssions are really not secret at all pnd it is just as well that they. are ot. 4 : The foreign relations committee Ihay have some business in the sen- hte which should be kept there, hut ere are a number of other matters which should be dfscussed in public, thereby ~avoiding criticism ‘and. to eep the statement in the straight and arrow path.

It was only a year or two ago that people were arrested in Hartford for repairing their fences (not political fences) on Sunday, amd their cases were dismissed in court, but while there have been several attempts made to obtain some modification of the old blue laws there hasn’t been i much progress made, about the .only ccncession being permitting the play- ing of baseball in public parks on Sunday. This of course is something and may be a step towards obtaining a further concession from the next legislature. The question has been agitated for several years and there is some evidence of conversion. The sentiment is in favor of a change, but somehow those who believe it are not the people who get elected to the legislature. NO OUTSIDE FOOD FOR PRISON- ERS. Katherine B. Davis, commissioner of correction in New York, has made a rule that prisoners cannot receive food from the outside. This mayi seem like a unfair rule but a little thought will convince the average per- son that it js backed by wisdom and common sense. Where this rule is not observed there is a looseness in man- agement and it cannot be otherwise and as result liquor is given prison- ers and oftentimes drugs which are more pernicious in their_effects. There cannot be too much care exercised in such ‘matters and Commissioner Davis no doubt has good reason for enforc- ing the rule as regards food. Prison- ers should be given the proper sort of food and enough of it but it would not be a good plan to give them ail kinds of food. Judgment must be ex- ercised in this as well as other things and those in charge of all penal insti- tutions will agree on it. Prisoners awaiting trial might be al- lowed privileges such.as purchasing food if they have the means but it | ‘would hardly do to extend the same | privilege to men and women serving | terms in either jail or prison. If they were permitted to do that a certain element of punishment would be lack- | ing for the simple reason that they penal institution run upon any such | method would soon require an inves- tigation and probably a change in | management. Rich and poor are, or ought to be, on the same footing when it comes to paying the penalty for breaking the law.

TOWN TALK. which will it be, Schultz, Steele or Quigley? No one cares to ans- wer, althougli there is any number who will hazard a guess, but that is all it will be. Much informa- tion on this point has come to the “about town man’” during the past { two days and it is as plain as any- thing can be that there has been a large amount of overestimating done. Many say that each of the three re- publican candidates for mayor will poll over a thousand votes in the caucus. 1f they do it will be remark- able. At the last election for governor the republican candidate for that office polled less than 2,400 votes at the polls and it would be somewhat difficult for the mayoralty candidates to poll more votes at a cauvcus than the party did election day when a state ticket was chosen; therefore the vote next Tuesday evening will in | all probability be much smaller than estimated. Mr. Quigley is putting in some strong licks on the stump, he is having large audiences and it would be strange indeed if these efforts do not produce results. Mr. Steele has obtained the most of the new voters and his canvas shows a big vote for him in the caucus and this is also true of Mr. Quigley’s cam- paign. Mr. Schultz will poll a much larger vote than he is credited with and it is no moonshine story to say that some of the most astute politi- cians in New Britain expect to see him nominated and they can and do pre- sent the case so that it sounds rea- sonable. This is the situation as it stands today and unless something un- foreseen happens it will be the condi- tion when the cancus opens. ‘When the next column of “Town Talk” appears the republicans and democrats will have nominated their city tickets, the campaign will be practically over and everything will be in readiness for the taking of the vote on the following Tuesday. It has been a peculiar campaign so far, all the speechmaking having been confined to two candidates for the nomination for the same office and in the same organization, Usually the oratory is between rival candidates and this year the exception is really remarkable. Mayor Halloran was the first local candidate to indulge in gates; at that time he was running for senator, and since then the practice has been adopted by others. It has become a custom in many cities and it is be- lieved that it awakens enthusiasm and increases the vote on election day. It is an eminently proper thing for a cndidate to address citizens at least before the election if not before the caucus; he ought to be fair in hi argument and he should be able to answer all questions concerning the government in the affairs of which It he cannot do this then he has no business being a candidate. Men have been nominated for public of- fice in New Britain and when asked what their attitude was on certain matters of proposed legislation they admitted their ignorance of the sub- jects and they had to be informed as to what was proposed before they could amrswer. Such men do not make good representatives of the people and the cases referred to proved to be notably inefficient. It is { difficult to make some people believe those things and they won't believe them until every family takes a local newspaper and the head of the house gives particular attention to affairs of his own community. Then the standard of public service will be higher and the public will exact a greater degree of efficiency from its ervants, The people of New Brit- ain ought to read the doings of the common council and the different boards, and if they did candidates for office would be particular as to what they say about public affairs in gen- eral. Their constituents would be too well posted to permit that and those who tried to impose upon them would be brought to account very quickly. The evening school, which came to a close last evening with the present- ation of diplomas by President Gaft- ney was a great success. This school has been perfected in such a way that it means a great deal to the boy or girl who completes the course. 1t does not measure up well with the day school for various reasons and it | is not expected that it should, but it i boon_to those who have been de- prived of early educational training. There is talk in Massachusetts of making such education compulsory on account of the large influx of for- eigners and those whom the government wish to pre- pare for citizenship. The New Britain evening schools stand well with similar schools in other cities and the graduates show as gooa resu'ts as they do anywhere. | The state pays a portion of the cost tion he held up to the day President | Wilson took office.—Bridgeport Post. | but that is not the main point for consideration. The great gain lies in what has been done for the students, who have learned many things, who and have, as it were, the out to' them by which their minds may be stored \ @1 knowledge and how they can becoine more useful men gnd womeh, not only to themselves but to the com- munity in which they live. It has often been said that there are a num- ber of young men holding lucrative positions in New Britain who can at- tribute their success to the training they received in the evening schools. C. A has always made large claims for its educational work. It has well merited all it said and now comes the Young Men's T. A, & B. society supplying free to its members who wish to attend its eve- ning school all the necessary books and papers and the best of teachers so as to improve their education. There, is not another society in this country that is doing as much for its members; and ‘it is all in New Britain, proving conclusively that this ia year now. been taught the value of good | for all be a those who schools that and that city is entitled to recognition many things in which it leads other communities.

' The stained and worn original of the following letter is in the confed- erate museum at Richmond, Va.:— Spottsylvania County, Va., —, 1864. Dear Father: This is my last let- ter to you. I went into battle this evening as courier for Gen. Heth. I have been struck by a piece of shell and my right shoulder is horribly mangled, and I know death is in- evitable. I am very weak, but I write to you because I know you will be delighted to read a word from your dying son. I know death is near, that I will die far from home and friends of my early youth, but I have friends here, too, who are kind to me. My friend Fairfax will write you at my request and give vou the particulars of my death, My grave will be marked so that you may visit it if you desire to do so, but (it) is op- tional with you whether you let my remains rest here or in Mississippi. I would like to rest in the graveyard with my dear mother and brothers, but it is a matter of minor impor- tance. Let us all try to reunite in heaven. 1 pray my God to forgive my sins, and I feel that His promises are true and that He will forgive me and save me. Give my love to all my friends. . . . My strength fails me. My horse and my equip- ments will be left for you. Again a long farewell to you. May we meet in heaven. Your dying son, J. R. MONTGOMERY.

He Wanted a Brother. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) The manager of an important de- partment in a downtown retail store swears that the following happened: “I hear you have a little new sis- ter at your house,” said our corre- spondent to a small boy. “Isn’t that fine? Do you like her?” “Yes, I like her,” answered Willie, or whatever his name was, “but I druther had a brother, so I could play ball with him an’ wrastle with him an’ téeach him how to swim an’ put up his dooks.” “Well, if you aren’t satisfiled, why don’t you take him back and ex- change him?” asked the shop man. “Aw, it’s too late now,” answered ‘Willie, er whatever his name was. “We got her a week ago, and she’s been laundered a couple of times al- ready. No store would exchange her now!” Which for some reason or other reminds us of the little girl from Lakewood who met the little boy from Newburg the other day. “Say, do your folks make you say your prayers when you get up in the morning?”’ said the little girl, when it came time for telling secrets. “Naw,” answered the little boy. “They make me say ’em before I go to bed at night. Why'd I say ‘em in the morning? I ain’t afraid in the daytime!™ Thomas L. James at 83. (Brooklyn Eagle.) Ulysses S. Grant was president and Roscoe Conkling was “boss” of New York state when James was made postmaster in. 1873. * Conkling once said that he never made a personal appeal for any appointment save that of James, but for several years no federal place wWent to anyone whom Conkling opposed. In those days the use of patronage was unveiled and unblushing. The custom-house and the post-office meant just so much help to the party in power, to the district or ward leaders who needed to place their henchmen. James himself had begun political life as a collector of canal tolls at an upstate village. He had been an inspector and a deputy collector in the customs service. He was entirely loyal to the Conkling regime; yet his ideals of efficiency were s6 high that he virtually fore- stalled by several years the legisla- tion that created a merit system. Garfield made him postmaster-gen- eral, but when the break came be- tween Garfield and Conkling, James was on Conkling’s side and retired from the cabinet. It is true that the revenues of the New York post office under James were about $3,000,000 a year, and that they mount up to $30,000,000 But even then the opportunity for showing executive ca- pacity as postmaster was excellent, and we suppose the proudest day of Mr. James’ life was the day after the post office was removed (August 28, 1875) from the old Middle Dutch church structure, which had been a post office for thirty years, to the present building, and without any break in the work of the office. Mr. James had only a common school education. A Welsh Presby- terian by heredity, he holds honorary degrees from two Protestant and two Roman Catholic colleges. As bank president, public-spirited citizen and honest man without the ostentation of honesty, he has been a great fig- ure in the metropolis. At 83 he is still on the firing line, and may stay there for several years to come, to the advantage of the com- in which he lives. Monday, April 6, will be the fifth anniversary of the discovery of tha north pole, but in all these years no- body has proposed that it be called Pole day and duly celebrated. Can’t the discovers of the oyster, the tur- nip, the father, the mother and of all those other things give us a proclama-. tion and arrange a celebration at once ?7—Brockton Times. WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of. timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. Tailors Will Have to Have It. (Scientific American.) When your measure is taken by a tailor he lays his tape about your chest, your waist, along your arms and your legs, in accordance with a system Which tradition has laid down. However carefully he takes his mes urements, the clothes must be tried on at least once, and even several times, if you are a very particular man. It would be more convenient if you could leave yourself, as it were, at your tailor's and proceed about your business, knowing that when your clothes are delivered they will surely fit you. This paradoxical achievement is the fundamental idea of a German in- vention which has been introduced in America by a well-known New York tailor. The German inventor has actually devised a means of creating your artificial double, which your tailor uses exactly as if he had your own person to drape. First of all you slip on a cheese- cloth or linen coat, whereupon your tailor proceeds to wrap .gummed paper over you with a special con- trivance. He wraps the paper around your walst, passes it around your shoulder and sees t¢ it that the edges overlap. When every part of your trunk is incased in -wrappings, like an Egyptian mummy, the first stage in the preparation of your artificial double has been completed. The wrappings dry very quickly, and be- come hard and impervious to air. When they have reacheds that con- dition the wrappings are slit up the back. A cast of your trunk has been obtained, as it were, which is peeled off like an orange skin. The wrappings are then placed upon an inflatable rubber bag of the proper shape and fastened in place. Next the rubber bag is blown up, and the wrappings are filled out and assume the exact shape of your trunk. Your artificial tailor’s double has peen created. Once your measure has been taken in this novel way, you may cable your order for a suit of clothes from Kamchatka with the certainty that when they reach you they will fit you as-if you had tried them on. The device with which the wrap- pings are applied is very simple. A reel of special paper passes under a guide roller past a wet sponge and over a serrated guiding edge. The reels, the guide roller and the ser- rated edge are held together by a casing which is hinged on one side, so that all the members can be taken apart. Mattie Tyler's Casc. (Boston Herald.) There is something rather pathetic in the spectacle of need in the fain- ilies of our presidents. At least our nearness to royalty and the tradi- tions of the throne give a jarring note to cases of seeming want among the descendants of our rulers. The granddaughter of John Tyleér, president of the United States, has just been to. Washington to beg ‘Woodrow Wilson, her fellow-Virgin- ian, to restore her to the $700 a year postoffice from which she has de- rived her scant support. It is a little odd that the Virginlans, reputedly chivalrous above all other peoples, should have taken this office away from her. She is a democrat. So was her grandfather, although elected to the presidency by the Whigs. When the Civil' war broke out he went with his people and died while sitting as their representative in the congress of the confederacy. One of his sons is the president of old William and Mary college at Williamsburg. A daughter, Letitia Tyler Semple, the widoy of a gallant young officer of the Mexican war, and before her father’s second marriage the mistress of the White House, was for many vears an inmate of the Louise home in Washington, an institution found- ed by the late W. W. Corcoran for the gentlewomen of the south whose fortunes the war had swept away. President Roosevelt seriously con- sidered the appointment of the near- est collateral relative of George ‘Washington as postmaster of Alex- andria, a position which Mr. Wash- ington, an attache of the libra of congress, acknowledged himself ready to accept. But it seemed too good a place to the Virginia politicians to be wasted on merely sentimental grounds, and so he did not get it. Mr. Wilson will have equal difficulty in getting Mattie Tyler back on the payroll. . 0Old Employes Defeat Osler Theory. (American Machinist.) We are told that this is an age for voung. men, that shops want young blood, and in some it almost seems as if after a man has stayed six months he i§ looked upon as out of date and antiquated in his ideas. As a matter of fact, some shops do not want to hire men over thirty-five years of age. A short time ago we spent a few days. in a large machine shop where a man is considered young until he reaches sixty-five or seventy years of age. We mot a number who had seen from twenty to forty vears of service with ¢his company. When in- quiries were made as to their work, we were told that it was as good and often better than that of many younger men in the company’s em- ploy. In this shop was noticed the ab- sence of waste motion; no “goose steps’” were seen. Often much of the hurry and bustle exhibited by the younger man is useless motion and parade action. To the superintendent who looks only at appearances, such actions might indicate a live shop, but in fact they do not get anywhere. The engineering student is taught mathematics and the natural sciences in such a way that he believes that !human knowledge is absolute, When he goes into the shop he carries with him this idea, that what he knows is 80, not that he knows everything. He fails to realize that the cause and effect of natural laws uas applied in engineering work are much more complex than any scientific or en- gineering theories made to explain them. The great work of nature is not covered by human knowledge. Particularly in the field manage- ment and in the handling of men is our knowledge far from absolute, and all of our theories are inade- quate, The Season’s Vivid Colors. (Atlantic City Letter to Philadelphia Public Ledger.) Any one with a penchant for the new and unusual in*human attire must have been convinced after a 10-min- ute stroll with the happy crowd on the boardwalk today that this is in- deed to be a season of vivid colors and bizarre dress effects. During the parading hour preceding noon there were revealed for admir ing inspection swirl skirts, stunning little vests of most daring color com- bination and big glittering buttons, wraps of oriental splendor, more of the brilliant red coats which set the throngs to talking on Sunday, poke bonnets covered with garlands of pink roses and one all-enveloping coat of yellow, as brilliant a splotch of color as the boardwalk ever saw. That the possesser of this striking garment emerged with a laughing group of friends from one of the most fashionable of the hotels is an all the more significant indication of the sar- torial tendency. It is evident also that buttons, but- tons of every imaginable kind as te color, size and form, are to play an important part in milady’s spring rai- ment, for many of the most fetching costumes are literally covered with them, some of unusual size and hue appearing in the most unusual places Tassels also figure largely in the new spring outfits, hanging from shoulders, from belts and fringing the tier skirts. Tan footwear also with gray or check spats excited com. ment. Perquisites. (Boston Post.) A memorable step was taken by the senate of the United States' when it cut out of its contingent bill the al- lowance of $60 each to senators for telegrams. This perquisite has been running a long time; now such pay- ment is shut off altogether; and the vote by which this was ordered found only four dissenters—Senators O’Gor- man, Oliver, Lippitt and Tillman. Another bill now = pending cuus down the franking privilege. One hundred dollars’ worth of free trans- portation through the mails is allotted to a member for every 100,000 of pop- ‘ulation in his district. The senators would get the best of this, since their districts include entire states. The abuse of the franking privil ege, and also of the telegraph priv ilege, has been notorious, although the public has known little about it. Now it is proposed to furnish members of congress. special dead-head stamps whose use will proclaim their reliance upon perquisites of office. She Would Be Economical. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

Joke No. 1: “Wasn’t it bully of your father to provide you with such a magnificent trousseau!” exclaimed the bridegroom. “It helps us out wonderfuily, since we are so poor.” “‘Yes, that's right!” gurgled th2 bride. “Why, I shan’t need any new clothes for nearly a whole month!” The other is a pre-nuptial wheeze, but it's the same sort of stuff. “Dearest,” cooed the fiance, true that you are a aire?” “What rot!” cried the fiance, “My darling, I haven’t more than one mil- lion to my name!” . “Never mind, darling,” answered the heroic heroine, cuddling up a lit- tle closer. “I will be so economi: cal.” “is 10 multimillion It is nothing very encouraging which is predicted by Mr. Armour concerning the economic conditions of the future along general lines, ani no more so is it in relation to the supply and price of meat on which he can be expected to speak with au- thority.
