According to’' the annual report of ity Treasurer Chamberlain the net: debtedness of New Britain at thé be- nning of the preggnt fiscal year was 1019,838.64, which faan increase of 2,020.37. . The incréades hg funds is $70,479.73, makig the ptal amount in the various funds now 345,661.36. The indebtedness is not large when @ assets of the city are considered ich“foot up more than double that m, The largest individual depart- ent debt is the water board which es $1,175,000 and it is this depart- ent which has the next issue of orids coming due, the amount being 200,000, the year is 1918, and at fresent it has $132,424.42 in the sink- hg fund with which to meet them. his department has ' been paying hrge sums into the sinking fund, hav- g paid $35,000 last year. | The sewer department has an in- btedness of '$1,025,000, in 1918 it d bond issue of $100,000 coming ue and has at present $129,982.93 pith which to meet it, so that it can jeadily be seen that .the city. will be vell able to meet its honded obliga- ons when ‘they mature. .In the ase of schools and subways the in- ebtedness is of ‘a ‘serial nature, a ertain sum being pald every year. Aside from schools New Britain will jon be in a fair way to reduce its mdebtedhiess because there fher undertakings in sight to re- juire large _expenditures of money. he city has passed through its most rying periods, the sewer and water lepartments ‘having required large jums for improvements which could ot be avoided and which were ab- olutely necessary.

It has had trouble with its collectors, be- ginning with George Brown of Ber. lin and afterwards with James Rog- ers. The latter took the contract two years at $1,000 a year, found he was unable to perform the work sat- isfactorily for that amount and all will remember the dispute that was raised over his bond which, by the way, was not called. ' That was under the old system of government and when consolidaffon went_into effect the contract price was increased to $1,700 and the following Year it went up to $2,600 and the complaints con- tinued to come in until the.eity paid more money and the collector found that he was able to get by ‘on his al- lowance. It is now proposed to elfminate private collectors, “about whom greater part of the complaints are made and the work is to b8 doné for $2,950. It does not seem as if that can be done with past experiences to judge by, but the city is informed that the collector is going inte the pig business, will feed his stock on gar- bage and what he may lose on the collection he will more than make up on the hogs. The arrangement sounds reasonable enough and he may make a success of it, ‘but if he doesn’t the city will’ find itself in a mest un- pleasant predicament. It can, of course, call for the collector’s bond, but in the meantime the garbage will remain uncollected and there will be general indignation throughout the city.

According to the census bulletin just issued, New Britain has a popu- lation of 50,612, Congratulations! Getting along nicely in quantity, and there is quality also behind New Britain’s population, ‘It’s a fine little city, and_just wait until it gets that canal—Rockville Leader. Yes, it'will be a great day for New Britain and the rest of the state when the | canal ‘opens for business. Thq committees have not been appointed as yet, but they are in the works and all who give the thing a boost will receive a special invitation and be given a front seat in Gondola No. 1, ‘which is.scheduled to make the first trip from lock to lock, and then down the open river to Middletown, where a committee will be in wait- ing ‘with refreshments. It had been planned to have the start made at Bristol, but owing to certain changes made there last November, which rendered it unable to accommodate the guests, that part of the arrange- ments has been abandoned. Bristol, however, is to have a seat in the gon- dola, and it has been decided to lo- cate it between Middletown and Rock- ville. There will be room in the front. row, however, for several other towns and they will be placed in the order heard from. It is desirable that some of the towns send representatives who un- derstand music, so that when the fleet starts the event will be a signal for something else besides “Fifteen Men on a Dead Man’s Chest,” or “There’s a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea.” These are suitable enough for ordi- nary occasions, but not for the open- ing of such a remarkable engineering project las the New Britain canal. The city extends its grateful thanks to Rockville for its kind words. President’s Deep Emotion, (New York Sun.) To those who have been with him cn every public occasion since he was inaugurated it was a new president who spoke his eulogy of the Vera Cruz dead at the navy yard yesterday. At no time has he seemed so shaken by an’ almost overmastering emotion. Never has he fought harder to main- tain“an appearance of calm. The president in his speeches seldom employs gestures. “So it was very evident‘%&an unusual and deep feel- ing* comp d him when' at' the very close ot"hls' address he threw wide his arms as:He said, his voice breaking perceptibly :— “May ‘God grant to all of us that vision of patriotic service which here in solemnity ‘and’ grief and pride is horne 4n upon lour hearts ‘and con- scienges.” 2 he scholar, or Wilson the president tb:$hose who had been with him so much. /. more nearly overcomeshy his ings thap ever before® g; i ‘public career. - om‘the moment th_c Pennsylvania station sh ’ after % ©'clock in the morning it was evident that the president felt deeply th§ occa- sion.

It is the general impression that the'small sum of money. invested inh the indexing of the probate records of the associated communities is money well spent. The need of such an index. has been manifest for years but the necessary appropriation to carry out the improvement has al- ways been lacking and the work it- self has been delayed beyond reason. The index will be found to be a gre:t convenience, when it is completed and those who have occasion to -consult the probate court will hail it with un- mitigated joy.—Ansonia Sentinel. Ebenezer J. Hill, once the tallest statesman on this mundane sphere, is a candidate for the federal reserve board. He has some splendid qual- ifications. He enjoys the .acquain- tance of J. Henry Roraback, the dis- tinguished and versatile lobbyist, who with ‘Ed Robbins has shared the distinetion of managing the general assembly. Roraback managed Mr. Hill's some time since senatorial campaign. Mr. Robbins is very fa- miliar with New Haven methods of finance. Mr. Roraback knows Mr. Robbins and has the kindest feelings for Mr. Hill. The latter is qualified for a job on the federal reserve board. He can always get financial information from those who have it. New Haven finance is the most profitable in the world.—Bridgeport Farmer. Twenty thousand boys and girls are reported -by the Massachusetts agricultural college to have been enrolled during the past year in the garden, agricultural or horticultural clubs, conducted under the extension plan of the college. This, appar- ently, is college extension work that is well worth while. It may be true that not nearly all of the boys> will continue to cultivate the soil for a living, and that not all of the girls will learn to love home-making, but it is safe reckoning that the influ- ences they have derived through competition for the rather tempting prizes offered to whet their ambi- tions will be sufficient to impress upon the great majority of them the importance of farm industry and home economics, two of the princi- pal sources of thrift and indepen- dence.—Hartford Times. A Country Boy Who Won. (Arthur Prill, in Leslie’s.) Thirty-three years ago a farmer's lad, named Frank Vanderlip, walked into the railroad shops at Aurora, II1., and.asked for a job. His father was dead, his mother and sisters looked to him for help. He had not had time to learn much out of books, but the very simplicity of the life about him, the sincerity which his neigh- bors put into each act of the day's round, had given him an instinctive appraciation of the possibilities of hard work. He got the job he wanted—ap- prentice in the machine shops at $3 a week—and then began to look about him. He saw that the best mechanic in the place was earning only $3.50 a day and realized that he must do more than train his hands to canter shafting and turn lathes. No won- derful vocation flamed up in his soul; he felt no call to correct the world’s great evils; he did not even map out any clever plan for a career of power or money acquisition. He felt him- self a very ordinary young man, ex- actly like everybody else of his age about him: he was inspired only by a strong desire to work his way to the top. Today he is at the head of one of the greatest banks in the world, the National City of New York. Here i8 the secret of this man’s suc- cess in the years which have since passed—he was willing to work. In fact, that willingnéss amounted to a very passion. for digging into every problem which came up in the course of duty, and he did a little bit more —he looked for new problems. The opportunities of the home town, however, seemed to him no longer big enough; after working a while and picking up stenography in spare hours, he found a position in the of- fice ‘of an investment company in Chicago, From this work to the charge of the financial columns of the Chicago Tribune was an easy change and again he set himself to prepare for difficulties ahead. He studied bank- ing law, currency and international exchange and the reporter became an editor whose writings on financial top- ics aroused attention among the wisest bankers of the city. Some one once asked the -old doorkeeper of the Tribuné: “Dave, who is that young fellow by whom you set your watch every day?” The grizzly one grunt- ed: “Oh, that’s Vanderlip; he’s al- ways ‘on time *to the dot.” At the end of eight years on ‘the paper the boy who had begun as a mechanic was noticed by Lyman Gage, the secretary of the treasury, who decided that scribbling was a waste of such talents and took the ednor along to Washingten. Looking for trouble and finding a way to get the best of it had become a habit with Vanderlip: and when the ‘Spanish war broke out and a big foan was to be floated by the treasury department, the new assistant to Mr. Gage showed such marked capacity for organization that James Stillman, the eminent New York finaneier, was attracted to the budding financier. After four years at Washington Frank | A. Vanderlip became head of the Na- tional City Bank. for them-| l GOOD ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAM]:D IN INSTITUTE’S LIST THIS WEEK Science. : Beyond the atom, by John Cox. “O sketch of the romantic discov- eries made in radioactivity during the past decade which have been treated at length for the specialist in the works of Madame Curie and Profes- sor Rutherford.” e Call of the stars, a popular introduc- tion to a knowledge of the stags® skies, by J.

Editor Herald—Dear Sir. Will you please allow me space for a few re- marks in regard to this matter of superintendent of street work? Most of the taxpayers in this city are in the employ of others; they work in the factory and any one who is faithful in the discharge of -his duties to the satisfaction of his em- rloyer, can feel reasonably sure that he will be kept on his job and not removed simply to make room for somebody else and it is to the in- terest of the employer to have their employes feel that way. Now I ask is it to the interest of the city to have the men in the employ of the city feel that no matter how faith- ful they are in the-discharge of their duty to the city they can be kicked out any time to make room for.a friend of somebody higher up? Here is a man who has been in the employ of the city for ten years on street work. No fault is found with his work, but still he must go to make room for a friend of some- body higher up; that’s all, for it is too silly to say that ten years of prac- tical work on the streets is not enough, but a man with a few years of college education -is needed to look after the streets of New Brit- ain. It is not only foolish to say so, but it is an insult to Mr. Seidel and I for one protest against it, and I hope there will be others to do the same. FAIR PLAY. Colonel Starbuck’s Spring Breakfast.

That great living curiosity was taken, sir, in the act of bolling an aged *Methodist minister over a slow fire.” ““The clergyman was horrified. ‘“Then convert him!" he cried. ‘Oh, my friend,” why don’t you convert him ?” “The attendant made d gesture of digust. “‘Convert him!” he repeated.

Socrates had been ~‘condémned ‘to death, and his disciples were gath- ered around him. The fatal cup of hemlock. 'was at his elbow. He smiled, raised the goblet, and spoke gently and wisely of Immor- tality. In the deep silence that greeted. his words nothing could, be. heard but the busy scratching of Plato’s pen, as he saved this dandy copy for posterity. Then, as Socrates raised the cap to his lips a so0b broke the silence. “Why, how is it with thee, Crito?” asked the master. “Why weepest thou?” “Ah, Master!” replied Crito brok- enly, “ah that thou shouldst have such a bitter draught to drain!” “Be of good cheer, my Crito,” smiled Socrates. “Where s thy philosophy? Think you—it might have been one of these coffee sub- stitutes which are being advertised 4bout Athens!” And the cup might have contained nectar so eagerly did he. toss it off! ‘When the Wife's Away.

Vlews on all sides of timely mmuwn-‘ chnn‘ulh-leom.um office. ',,/ New As tog Shakespelre,’ (Boston | Herald.) It is a far.cry from Stratford-on- Avon to the University of Nebraska, yet Dr. Charles Willlam Wallace, a professor in that institution, has once more bridged the distance with new and epoch-making contributions to our knowledge of Shakespeare. It wag Dr. Wallace who, five years ago, rebutted the claim that the poet was practically unknown in London by showing that from 1598 to 1604 he lodged there with a French Hugue- not named Mountjoy and subsequent- ly, called by a dispute in the fam- ily, appeared in court as a witness. Since then the. Nebraska investigator has worked up the Hhistory of the Globe theater, and now comes ‘with evidence definitely and for the first time locating its exaet site north of Maiden Lane. Nearly a hundred documents have been “unearthed” to show the ac- knowledged eminence of the immor- tal bard in his profession and time. The fact that he owned shares in the Globe theater is established beyond question. One deed describes *“Rich- ard Burbadge and William Shake- speare gent” as tenants of the famous playhouse, its actor and dramatist being thus coupled together, and the description is repeated in other doc- uments. In another script there is mention of “William - Shakespeare and others,” indicating that among lesser men he alone was entitled to be named. “It is,” writes Dr. Wal- lace, “‘as if they said, ‘We the under- signed - personally know Willlam Shakespeare, the dramatist, as the most eminent man among the com- pany who have recently built the Globe playhouse.”"” During the investigations which led up to these discoveries thousands of documents had to be read, requiring a knowledge of ancient handwriting and familiarity with old English cus- tomg and laws. Ably assisted by his wife, Dr. Wallace consulted court files, transcribed leases, examined land. sewer and property records, and drew from the history of law suits, The astounding thing brought out by his success is that all this rich ma- terial, ready to hand for whomsoever cared to search for it, had been left fallow throughout the most active period of Shakespeare study in Eng- land. Nobody seems to have thought of going to the real “sources” until a keen-witted and richly gifted Amer- jcan came upon the scene with a new method and the industry needed to bring results. A Good-for-Nothing Bill. (Boston Post.) The bill purporting to enact a law for the licensing of cats in Massachu- setts, but really to encourage a guer- rilla warfare on our feline pets, is not only a measure of Inevitable crueity, but is also good for nothing as a pro- tection for birds. As to its inhumane features, Dr. Rowley, president of the M. 8. P. C* /A., well represents thé sentiments of those merciful to animals when he says: “The present bill has many oh- Jectionable features about it. T be- lieve that every family should be al- lowed one unlicensed cat at leas that where other cats are to be kept the license fee should be merely nom- inal. As I understand it, there is a .bounty offered for the bodies of un- licensed cats. This features alone, in my judgment, condemns the bill he- cause of the ‘cruelty it would doubt- less encourage.” The condemnation of the measure by a high authority is repeated in but slightly different form by many read- ers of the Post and people here interested in the welfare of %mh. It seems fairly impossible aven the most enthusiastic Auduboénites can now have any’ sympathy, for this bill to destroy city cats when they realize that the farmer is permitted to keep two cats without the payment of a license fee—and as many more as he chooses, because:the enforcement of the law against the excess of felines on his farm would be a farce, from the very nature of things. It is the country cats that do the mischief to the birds, as everybody knows, And where is the “farmer” line to be d@rawn? It would require a supreme court decision to settle that. Wh a bill would encourage crudlty’ if made into law, that bill should “be killed. When a hill is hopelessly good-for- mothing in the way of accomplishing what it originally set out to do, that bill should be killed. The cat bill has both bad qualities and its fate ought not to be in’doubt. Criticising the MayoF. (Naugatuck News.) New Britain’s new mayer is re- ceiving some criticism because news- paper reporters were excluded from a meeting' of the board of charities in that city at which the board asked for the resignation of the superin- tendent of the town home. Under the circumstances the criticism seers to be just. The board of charities is a public board elected to transact the public business and it should. not yxo into executive session to take up the matter of getting rid of the snpe~in. tendent of the town home, and espé- cially as this particular supeanduu- ent was under firé some time ago and at that time was stoutly defend- ed by the board of charities. He has recently signed a contract to work for the city for another year but it is now proposed to get rid of him, The whole matter should have been taken up in the open and not be- hind closed doors so that the public could see just what was done, There are matters that come before the board “of charities such as the cases of the poor which should never be aired in the public press, but getting rid of a superintendent of a town home is a different matter and ought to be given the fullest publicity, CMILLAN'S Hamcoals Umhrellas n:mrm RAINY mu,mfi. > RAIN COATS mm AN l Your wardrobe |n not complete without one.
