The ice season is here and vet there is no municipal ice except in the house at Shuttle Meadow, and that is too far to walk. The common council,. however, has empowered the committée to build a storage house, but it did not give the committes uny .money, and the comptroller says that there is only a small sum left out of the original appropriation, not lenough to build the store house, and fwhen that is gone the committee will not be given any more funds. This s a nice how-do-you-do with the mercury up near a hundred and no imuriicipal ice, It appears that the council intended that the committee should sell the e and pay for the store house out f the receipts, while others seem to eel jthat the city should provide the nds for the building and let the re- peipts go into the treasury. It would [hot be impossible to pay the building fbill out ofthe incidental fund, but is ‘understood ‘that the council dia hot make any such provision and that j#he pay must come out of the re- Jeeipts for the ice. The plan has not een working out very satisfactorily d ‘the general impression is that [#he cost will be much greater in the id than has been figured on. The ¥hsle problem, however, needs to be hreshed out very carefully so the eak spots. now can be made strong ext year. The city has an ice house at the ke,.has all the necessary machinery or housing, and it proposes to buila store house in the rear of the sta- flon house from which the ice can be livéred, and all this property cannot abandoned unless the whole schervie _an utter failure.

The board of assessors of the town Stamford has entered a protest ainst the increase in its grand list stheé state board of equalization. e latter is quoted as saying that the son for the increase is that manu- [cturing property is undervalued. fhe assessors have sent the board a fttcr in which they argue the matter B assessment of factory property. Tt [ the old story of adding to the grand t of a town evidently upon the rounds of suspicion. * The board has cen looking up ‘the capitalization of fhe companies in‘question and has m# to the conclusion ‘that these cor- fhorations should ‘pay more taxes and the board canhot reach them di- ctly it adds to the.grand list of the wy for the purpdses of taxation by e state, which gome people say is a easure of economy. The Stamford ' assessors' say that uch property in that city is selling pday for less than its assessed value. If this is o, and the assessors ought , know better than any one else, it quite pertinent to ask upon what sis the board of equalization has for feding to the grand list. This whole atter is conducted in improper vay and there ls reason to belleve that there needs to be a change in foma of our state laws and officials be- bre there can be anything done jowards making ‘a desirable change. ax Commijssioner Corbin is the ader. in -this whole tax matter and e dthers apparently do as he says.

MARY.” There was a case In New York yes- | terday such as the late James A.| Herne had in mind when he wrote! the play “Shore Acres” and pictured | the B0 the on the Maine coast every | day and watch for the return of her | woman who used to out on knoll husband from the sea and when he | never came and she was about to die she asked her children to bury her there, so that if he ever .did come back he would find her waiting for him. Mary Walsh came to sixty-one years ago. She was 23| then. She fell in with an| American sailor and they were to be from a New York love married upon his return cruise, but he never came and she learned that his ship had gone to the bottom of the sea. She gave up her work as a domestic and be- gan to sell apples along the river front at the Battery. She visited the plers, thinking that some news would be obtained of the one she sought, but she always returned to her home disappointed. She would stand for hours at the Battery wall watching the waves as they splashed against the rocks, thinking that his body might be washed ashore and she would be there to meet it. She has done that for many years, always carrying the basket on her arm. As she grew older the people who knew her won- dered how she managed to live. But she spent every day at the Battery selling her apples to all who would buy and watching the waves that never brought her any news. Mary is now 84 years old and feeble. She tottered up to a policeman yester- day, told him that she weak from lack of mourishment and no longer able to do business and asked to be locked up. She told the mag- istrate in court that two months in the workhouse would help to build her up. He accommodated her and she is now absent from the Battery. She carried her basket to court and in it were a dozen red apples. Mary Walsh's case is not the only one of its kind and while some talk of the decline of the drama there is a wealth of materlal in many cities from which plays might be written and audiences entertained with stories of heart interest taken from real life. There ought to place where poor unfortunates as ‘“Apple Mary” might be where they would be cared for with some degree of comfort and given a pillow upon which to rest their weary head when the end comes. was be some such sent BEATE! BY COMPARISON. Some fanatics from Middletown in- sist on mentioning former Mayor Willard C. Fisher as the likely se- lection of the democratic state con- vention for governor. Willard | Fisher of Middletown has about as much chance of getting that nomi- nation as he has of being elected King of England.-—Bridgeport Tele- gram. Then we may as well dismiss Mr. Fisher from the list of candidates for there is no likelihood of him suc- ceeding King George, in fact we are inclined to doubt his ability to fill the position if he got it. The edi- tor of the Telegram is well up with the big bugs in the democratic party and when he says that Mr. Fisher is as far from the democratic nomi- nation for governor, as he is from occupancy of the British throne it is reasonable to assume that he speaks with a full knowledge of the thoughts and opinions of the aforesaid big bugs and his statement should be ac- cepted as Jeffersonian gospel. Mr. Fisher has had a thorny path in politics, both in office and out, but he enjoys the distinguished honor of defeating his own party for mayor of Middletown, a performance which has never endeared him to the edi- tors of the Telegram and those of some other democratic journals in Connecticut. There has been position, howeyer, in some directions to discuss the gentleman as a pos- sibiliy, but the Telegram puts him away by comparison with another dis- tinguished gentleman who could not be Induced to exchange places with Mr. Fisher even were he in the of- fice now held by our esteemed fellow citizen, Simeon E. Baldwin. The time is gradually creeping upon us when the democracy will use its best in- fluence with the people in the inter- est of the right candidate. New Britain could make a valuable sug- gestion, but it prefers to give Bridge- port a try at first. Any one else wish a try? a dis- No riots have thus far occurred in censequence of the passing of the Irish home rule bill, and the self-control shown on both sides is gratifying and Lopeful. The natlonalists have re- frained from demonstrations that would provoke the unionists, and the discipline of the Ulster volunteers has been remarkable. It can hardly be questioned that but for the organiza- tion and drill of the past year the passage of the bill would have been the signal for bloody street fighting in Belf: such as marked the campaign of 1886.—Springfield Republican. | NEW BOOK LIST ] I AT THE LIBRARY Religion and Philosophy. Ancient art and ritual, by J. E. rison. “In an interesting and instructive work, the author shows by a discus- sion of Greek drama and sculpture that ancient art and ritual have a common root and that neither can be understood withoat the other. The relations of modern art to every phase of life and its future development in its social function are treated in the last chapter.”—A. L. A. Booklist. Har- : e Bible and the spade, by E. J. Banks. “This book puts the latest results of archaeological research within the | reach of the ordinary reader.

C. Eucken. “Doctor Eucken maintains that only a system of ethics based on the conception of an independent spiritual life can survive the uncer- tainty and questioning of contempor- ary thought. A penetrating analysis of the ethical principle and of the mod- ern attitude toward morality."—A. L. A. Booklist. .o Jesus, by G. H. Gilbert. “A consideration of the sources of our knowledge of Jesus precedes the main divisions of this volume and presents with discrimination and clearness the evidence for and against conflicting views. As a whole the work embodles the modern judgment of scholars in higher criticism and its treatment is neither didactic nor controversial, but its conclusions are not always logical."—A. L. A. Book- list. 2 .. Matter and some of by W. K. Carr. “An interesting argument, which, starting with the electrical theory of matter, arrives at the conclusion that there are other states of ex- istence and a life beyond the grave. The author defines the subconscious state as the fourth dimension and treats briefly such toplcs as time and space, dual mentality, and spiritual exaltation.”—A. L. A. Booklist. 2.

Shotwell. “By a survey of the evidence with the enviable perspective of a trained historian and anthropologist, the author demonstrates that there is a religious revolution and that the progress of civilization is a ‘proce of secularization,’ our future lies in the elimination of the primitive and irrational. His psychological ana s of religion, or, the common factors in all religions, is clear and convincing and his ap- peal for the recognition of social psychology as a branch of the social sclences is effective.

Cabot. “From his experience as a physi- cian, the author urges the use of four cures—work, play, love, worship—to bring back the patient and all others into the currents of ‘real life.” Kach cure he dwells on interestingly, with a broad-minded spirit and genial out- look.
