What aused Huerta to change his mind so buickly is said to have been advice .om some of the foreign powers, but beople generally will be inclined to hink that it was due more to what night happen at Vera Cruz ‘and ampico when the American vessels beached there. A nice point, however, ill be whether in the American ves- answering the Huerta guns will ot be soine sort of a recognition’ b Huerta himself.

The gov- | ernment, however,” should uphold its | dignity, and it is a bit gratifying that | the order for Huerta to shoot into the | alr has been backed up in such a fashion as to make him shoot. NEW TRIAL FOR MRS. WAKE- FIELD. The action of the supreme court in ! granting a new trial to Bessie Wake- fleld, who had been sentenced ‘to death for complicity in the murder of her husband, can hardly be con- sidered a surprisé. There was a feel- ing that she would not be executed, and a new trial is the first step in saving her from the gallows, Her paramour has already paid for his participation in the crime with his life, and he said that she was not to blame. She may be put to trial again or she may plead gullty to a lesser degree of crime that she had been convicted of and go to prison for a short term, but there is no likelihood of her ever being convicted again of murdeér in the first degree, The sen- tment of ‘the state is' too strongly against it and there has been so much publicity given to this feature of the case that it is bound to have an ef- fect in the event of a new trial. She is an ignorant, friendless woman, and were it not for the sentiment created for her because she is a woman she would have been hanged the ‘same day as her paramour. The feeling against capital punish- | ment is constantly increasing; even the warden of Sing Sing prison said the other day after the gunmen had been put to death that he hoped that would be the last electrocution in that institution. This taking of a human | life is a brutalizing affalr, and ‘bad as | it is for a man, it is more revolting in the case of a woman. Bessie Wake- field has been in the death house at Wethersfield for several weeks, and | it is réasonable to assume that the ! warden of the prison, as well as the unfortunate woman herself, was glad | to hear the news from the supreme court. What is to be done with her {8 the next interesting point to be de- cided. COXEY ON HIS WAY, It is in the spring that a young man’s thoughts turn mushy, but to the older boys the season is supposed to bring a little sense so that it is impossible to think of the march of General Coxey and’ his afmy from Ohilo to Washington without a feeling of humor. The general is an ol@ man as far as years are considered, and ‘he has some money, so that to see him seated in an old fashioned phae- ton drawn by an anctent mule, with his wife by his side and a son ahead riding a donkey one may well inquire whether the old man has not reached that stage. when people begin to talk funny. The army consists of sixty soldiers, but Coxey says that it will be increased to 20,000 by the time he reaches Washington. The first day’s march was eight miles and yet the general says he is satisfied. - The army sought food at the houses along the line and slept in a brickyard at the end of the first day.” The army will be recruited along the road and the general will receive the new comers any time. There are some who will recall the Celegation from Bristol back in 1894 which passed through here on its way to join Coxey, who then had another army on the wpy to Washington and who was arrested for.- tramping around on the grass when he reached there. The Bristol division reached ‘here in the afternoon. It consisted of five men and two dogs, and as it swung into Main street it headed for the old band stand with Joseph R. Johnson, then chief of police, bring- ifg up in the rear. The order to halt was given at the band stand and the division came’to a tull stop. The first lleutenant started to make a speech and the chief interfered lest the oration cause a riot. There was much discontent in the crowd because all wanted to hear an address, and the army was given a great cheer when it resumed’ its. march down Main - street. Such movements are really a joke, they do not accomplish any good and simply result in draw- ing unfortunate people through the country, ending up with sore feet ant a ‘well developed grouch, ‘With the desire father to the thought some of the state’'s leading democrats are spreading a story about that there is a desire among certain Tepublican leaders to punish Senator Brandegee for the attack made upon Chairman Roraback by the members | of the reform body, which came | stch a ghastly cropper a few days ago in its effort to secure a political millen- nium in Connecticut. It is something that the democracy would keenly like to see accomplished but they are vainly chasing a figment of .the imagination in pursuing this will o’ the wisp.—Ansonia Sentinel. the person. the ‘Dansant EVERY AFTERNOON THIS WEEK, 2:30 TO 5 AT OUR RESTAURANT.

Just at the present time much is being said about the substitution of life im- prisonment instead of death for mur- der and yet others who have given the question .= much thought urge greater attention for the defectives, educationally and morally—Norwich Bulletin. Now that the city has seen fit to prohibit roller skating by children on the city sidewalks, it is up to the municipality to provide skating places in the parks and the playgrounds. ‘While it is ‘annoying to the public generally to have children skating on sidewalks, particularly in the busier sections of the city, most people have refrained from complaining, because they recognized the fact that the ex- | ercise is beneficial, and not as danger- ous as many other childish pastimes and sports.—Waterbury Republican. Hartford can have her voting ma- chines, but Rockville will continue to be old fashioned and stick to the pa- ver ballot. It has its faults, but with all its famlts we love it still. It is superior to this new fangled method of voting. There has been more or less agitation here for the introduc- tion of the voting machine. In the face of Hartford's experience in its recent municipal election, we rather think this agitation will now cease. Voting machines may be prompt, but what is promptness to accuracy? This is what should count in an elec- tion.-—Rockville Leader.

When they needed a clothing on a man, and he did his part in falsetto. The Chinese do that today. The Chinese think the feminine voice the more beautiful, but they have men imitate the voice of woman, and the result is not beau-~ tiful at all. The history of woman and the stage is the history of wom- an, and many other things. There ¢~ many who believe that an all masculine state is as defective as a drama acted by men only.

(Chicago Record-Herald.) Jonah, Martin B., came to Chicago yesterday. Two Pinkerton detectives played the role of the whale. This is the revised story of Jonah as writ in the. Book of Policefans. It came to pass that there was in the wicked city, which is Chicago, one Martin B. Jonah. In Jonah’s pockets, of shekels there was none. One. day Jonah betook himself into the Park of Lincoln, which is by the waters of the Lake of Michigan. Gen- tlemen and ladies of high station passed by and saw him not. They passed him afoot and in the carriages which are horseléss. Jonah lookéd upon. the wealth which .was not his. Then he -saith with disgust: “Verily am I a boob. Superabundant shekels have they who pass.me by, while I, accursed one, am bereft of all things. Why is this thus? Am I my brother’s keeper who can- not keep myself? Verily the Lord helpeth those who help themselves.” Then up spake conscience: “The way of the transgressor is paved with rocks. Go thou, brother, and turn thy hand to honest work.” Then up rose Jonah and smote con- science. Shaking his legs, he be- took himself straightway to the Mid- City Trust and Savings Bank, which is by the parting of the ways of Madi- son and Halsted streets. To the chief counter of shekels he spoke after this manner: “I have here a check for $730. Please cash 1t And lo, it was done. And it came to pass that a few days later the man whose name was writ upon the check became exceeding wrathful., He be- got an idea. Forthwith he took it to the tribe of Pinkertons. Much hunting was made for Jonah. At last he was discovered in the City of Boston, which, the prophets saith, is in a foreign land and rests upon a hill made of the writings of one Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thence Jonah was returned to Chicago, which is by the lake. And when the prison with its bars had cloged upon him he repented of his wickedness and saith: “Wherefore, oh wherefore, did I smite conscience when it whispered?” Jonah was bound over to the grand jury. Verily the way of the trans- i gressor is hard! According to an announcement that comes from the Pacific coast. from which golden strand so many announcements of new things ema- nate, a Methodist congregation is erecting a combination church and hotel at Los Angeles, at an estimated cost of $1,000,000. The hotel is to have some 350 rooms for the ac- commodation of guests. Everything on the premises is to be up-to-date and to conform to the best standards of hotel keeping. It is expected that the venture will prove a paying one. ~~New Haven Union.
