The bomb droppers are, now hover- over Parls; there were five Jropped into the city vesterday, and trange to say, there was no damage No one was killed and The itself 5 speak of. ly two persons were injured. is preparing to defend nst the Germans who are not far ay and: who are marching toward he city.

There was much destruction aris in the days of the war with any forty odd years ago, some of most noted buildings having been rned to the ground, following the itirement of the German troops, ong them being the Hotel de Ville fhiere there were also many lives lost. rebuilding' the structure the old bians were followed and the building pointed out to tourists as one of fhe architectural beauties of Paris. The repofts from the city are that Paris is calm and if it is the con- jtions must be dad indeed. The ropping of bombs is the most terri- bying feature of modern warfare be- pause many innocent. persons are filled or wounded. It appears that jere is no.certainty where bombs strike,” the height from which hey are dropped is so grest thal it mpeume toiselect the place where y are desiredito fall and have them ke there and as a result they are dently released as an grticle may tossed from a winow, letting it where it will. * Of the bombs )éd' in’ Paris yesterday two tatiéd ‘explode, one burst in front of the 0P of a wine merchant and baker- "twol in' the rear of.a hospital. \Fe' sre a great many narrow streets i Paris, tHe buldings in many sec- ~ 8 are also very much congested /it bombs were dropped in those ges much damage would be dorte. this great city is to be a baftle- ‘between two great armies the wuction will be worse than in the of the revolution and the mune. (PXTCAL - BUSINESS. thstanding the business de- " die to the war it is sald Pie theatrical business will have PEcod season in this eountry, but here is no such luck for it in Eu- jfopean countries. Many of the Can- lan theaters have been ordered slosed because of poor business, but jthis can be acccunted for - "just as easily there as it is in London, the lationship being ' practically the ame. It is related that back a few years 0 when the country was suffering lrom a Dbusiness depression the bheaters in New York drew very well nd the receipts were considered as being very satisfactory. The explan- tion was given that -many people ere idle, but that they spent their pare time and some of their spare money in the theaters and when one omes to think It over the explana- jon sounds- reasonable enough. All beople do not live a hand to mouth ixistence and to a great many a pe- od of idleness does not mean any uffering, but on the controry giw lhem an’ opportunity to enjoy a va- tion which they would not take if hey had work. They still ‘have some cket money and what better place ‘they spend it with more profit to selves and giving them instruc- jton’ and plwfincrentlon than in bhe theater?” It fs . being remarked bight here in our city that since the tories began on short time the il theaters have done‘a very large isiness and what makes it all the N remarkable is that it has been i to seriously View'. ter ‘as pllee for real- enj that nt is necessary if we are' to my pleasure out of life ‘and ment tend the theaters nowadays and the man, woman or child of reason who does not attend these places of amusement is missing a great plea- sure. TRICKS OF DRUG FIEN! We frequently hear of the tricks which men and women addicted to the drug habit resort to in order *o sup- ply themselves with the drug, and the methods employed to secrete it from others. The police had a case in court this morning, a as a drug fiend, and upon being searched fifty-one grains of morphine . wers found secreted in her hair which she had fixed about her head in such a manner as she thought might escape observation. The matron searched her and, not finding the drug, which she was satisfied she had secreted, no- ticed the hair that appeared to have been attended to with more than the average care. The victim said she woman, arrested procured the drug with a prescripticn | written by a Hartford physician, bul she could not tell his name, and neither could she tell where the drug | was purchased. The polic2 did not believe this story, but there is scarcely any doubt but that the woman cid not intend to betray those who sold her the morphine against the law. 'This is only one of many cases Where ‘he drug fiend purchased the stuff surrep- titlously, for that is about the only way they can get it. 1t is sad to relate that there are wo- men, young as well as old, who are addicted to this habit in this city, and that young men can be seen on.the street apparently under the influence of liquor when in reality they are stupefied with morphine or heroin, and can neither work nor concentrate their mind on anything which is of use to them or which may assist them to earn their living. The police say that the drug flends are becoming rather numerous despite the fact that they are caught and punished when- ever the opportunity presents itself and despite the watch that is usually kept out for them. REPORT ON FOOD SUPPLY. The only significant feature of the report of the food supply committee of New York is 'a recommendation that when foodstuffs are mcreased in price that substitute foods be used. The committee did not need to make such a recommendation because the same thing has been said hundreds of times by individuals and newspapers and there is nothing new to be said | along that line now. It is said that ‘the price of fish has been advanced and that cannot‘be used as a substi- tute for meat with any saving to the housewife, but 4sh is not the only food available. It -has been repeatedly =said that there are fresh meats which might be eaten’ instead of beef and which have not been touched to the same extetff by high prices, but somehow this advice has not been heeded. It won’t do for the housewife to refrain from stocking up for the winter through fear prices may be advancea further. There are certain supplies whieh every family ought to store away for the winter for various rea- sons, first because it is a time when outdoor work is scarce and secondly, because¢ conditions may be against the delivery of goods, thereby causing & scarcity that makes it difficult for some families to get along. A family, however, will not suffer if it refuses to eat certain articles of food for which it must pay a high price. Other things can be used as a substitute and the change may work for the benefit of the ‘entire household. If when prices on a certain article of food are increased consumers would refuse to eat that particular article for a week the prices would come down as sure as anything can be be- cause there is no class of business that will continue to deal in goods which no one will buy while the prices are exorbitant. A little foresight and a little sacrifice on the part of the average family will save money in the buying of household necessities and will teach a lesson to those who cor- ner toodstufl‘s_ or raise the prices be- cause of selfish greed. Ba Somebody’s Luggage. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) In ramparts about Cologne cathe- dral the deserted trunks of Americans who fled baggageless from ‘the grim shadow are piled "high. In all there are 20,000 or more separate pieces of abandoned baggage somewhere in Germany. There part of it lies under through the noisy day, as mutely elo- ‘quent as the deserted impedimenta that strewed the highways when Babylon fell. Someé of the names upon these trunks are noted names; some of the tags are genuine. No doubt are goods within the boxes that would make a customs inspector’s eves twin- kle with anticipation. Whatever the ‘trunks contain is dear to the owners, and that's why the American 618:| warded to the. homes citizens! distress committee will make an effort to have the luggage for- that “for the “most part hopelessly await it, - % the silent stars and the showers and | there | | | | e | i | | seen up in Avon and | when he ! real money th FACTS AND FANCIES.

Fisher men say they are certain to capture the democratic caucus in Middletown despite the opposition of the party machine. This means that he will have his home town.

Mr, Spellacy no doubt expresges the opinon of Gov. Baldwin entertained by a considerable body of demommc politicians whose idea of things radically different from the gover— ror's. But does he speak for many democrats, or if for only a few are they the men who control the ‘party? It will be rather interesting to see.— Waterbury American. The fight for the democratic nom- ination for the United States senator is getting warm and the democrats of Waterbury are soon to be asked - to express a choice between Governor Baldwin and Congressman Mahan for | that high . oftice. We do not know that we are authorized to speak for the democrats of Waterbury, but we have not been able to find any enthusiasm for either of these excel- lent gentlemen in these parts, or any part of the Naugatuck Valley.— ‘Waterbury Democrat. The New Britain Herald is enthus- iastic in its suppore of ex-Mayor and the present speaker of the house, Morris C. Webster, for the republican nomination for governor. The Her- ald in a few sentences, gently but firmly disposes of the candidacies for (the nomination of Judge Henney of Bartford, Dennis Blakeslee of New Haven, Jurge Holcomb, and last, but rot least, our own distinguished fcllow citizen, Clifford B. Wilson. The Herald is always a good barom- cter for New Britain and Hartford County in political matters, but we caution our contemporary against dis- posing of oyr mayor without con- sulting John T. King.—Bridgeport Telegram. The G. A. R. (Detroit Free Press.) My boy, respect the faded blue, and cheer the tattered flag, And -honor with a head that's bowed the weary feet that drag; Those broken ranks, that straggling line, though feeble now and slow Were keeping high the flag we love, some fifty years ago. The .debt we owe that empty sleeve Wwe never can repay, For vou and me he gave that arm, for you and me today; That you should know a country free from strife and discontent That comrade of the broken line into the trenches went. Time was that line was brave and true, and filled with sturdy ‘men; Time was it had the strength of youth and charged the foe, and then The bugle blew, and all was still, and tears began to fall For 'some who'd marched away had not returned to hear their call. And each of those who answered not gave up his life for you; For you he faced the shot and shell, for you he wore the blu And all the joys that you possess, the freedom that you know Those broken ranks preserved you, some fifty years ago. for Now slower, slower, goes their march, and thinner grow their ranks, As Time, the conqueror of us all, their forward movement flanks; And so today our hearts should beat in gratitude and love, For soon, too soon, the Boys in Blue will join the camp above, The Passing of Bristow. (William Allen White in California Outlook.) The defeat of Senator Bristow in Kansas puts the period after the trag- ic close of his career, which he ended by his own act last January, when he chose to leave his friends, to de- sert the party with which he had publicly allied himself, and to mask for temporary expediency the prin- ciples for which he had been stand- ing so valiantly. He put tragedy and finality into what might :otherwise have been mere passing defeat. De- feat is an incident in a ‘man’s cageer, and Bristow, if he had been defeated | for his principles, might have recov- ered. Defeat was - possible whichever course he chose. That was unimpor- tant, for to be found defpated among one’s friends is no disgrace, but to be found defeated fighting among one's enemies—that, indeed, is a calamity. At one stroke of his pen, against the adyice of every friend who had gerved him in. times ‘past,! Bristow aligpated every flghtln‘,,p(oxru-lvg in ne i for Bristow.

The victory of Curtis aligns the republican party of Kansas with Penrose and Barnes, and the republican organization In the natfon. 1t is at least a comfort for one who has fought for a generation in the republican party to find the old party with the courage of its reactionary principles.
