In Plaining Scnator Isbell said that only for ex- one person appeared in favor of the bill. Senator Bree, spoke for the measure and cited the contest now on in New Haven county for a county commissionership as a reason for change inthe law. Republicans as a rule are not favor of any change bécause they con- trol the small towns, it these that nominate the commissioners and a legislature made up of the political complexion elects them.

Yesterday's meeting | does mnot require any change in the comment. It did nothing except talk and about all that was new .in what i was said came from Mayor Quigley of | New Britain who urged support for a | bill now pending in the legislature for the regulation of the sale of firearms, so as to prevent in a measure, at least, the commission of crime, which is : good plan and ought to have the sup- port of all interested in the govern- ment of cities. There was an explan- ation of other measures now before the legislature but there was no action | taken and so far as the published re- ports of the meeting show there wasn't a thing done to improve municipal government or to help along tions in that line except what Quigley said and this was his meeting. There isn't an organization in tho' state that is in a position to do ;L\‘! much good in a public way as that of | the mayors, but somehow the mem- bers a whole content with coming together shaking hands and having dinner. Some years ago the organization in- terested itself in a bill to give citlies the right to go into the municipal | lighting business if they desired and the effort was apparently so great as to cause a fear of mervous prostration were it to be continued and they de- cided not to take any more chances. In future the Mayors’ association may be regarded as- an organization with | no special object except to dine and | admire each other. In that respect it is in a class by itself, and should meet oftener. Such happy souls should not long be separated. t t | a £ = v | t z s : ! t condi- Mr. | first | o o as seem v a T t i i 1 t House Leaders in Washington. (Washington Star.) Mr. Mann has been confronting Mr.‘ Underwood. He will now confront Mr. Kitchin—a man of different tempe ment. A suave, unemational majority leader gives, place to a man direct and | oratorical, and “warm’” under pres-| sure. There may be more work for Mr. Mann in the next than there has| been in the present house. , Moreover, there seems reason to b lieve, the majority side of the cham ber will be strengthened by occasional suggestions from a source too much and too long neglected. The dem- ocrats are rousing to the importanc of Mr. Clark. They will not inves him with the power that should be | his as speaker, but they show a dis- | position to profit by his wide knowit- | edge as politicilan and legislator.

In several of the observances of ‘Washington’s birthday appropriate ref- erence was made to the difficult task of the first president of the United States in preserving neutrality during he wars of the French revolution.

He has been condemned, on the other side, for permitting his own country to make use of its acknowl- edged commercial rights under inter- national law.

Frank Fuller, war governor of Utai, lawyer, dentist, physician, friend of Lincoln, intimate of Mark Twain and one of the most widely known char- acters of that city and the United States died in New York last week, in his 88th year. Many interesting stories are told of him in the New York Times. In 1860, when Dr. Fuller was practising dentiistry in Portmouth he began making speeches for the re- publican party and became prominent in politics. Robert T. Tincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, was then at school at Phillips Exeter Acadamy ,and when Dr. Fuller was asked to deliver a Fourth of July oration he asked thut young lincoln be called upon to read the Declaration of Independence Lin- coln agreed to do so if his father would permit. Dr. Fuller wired to Lincoln, and his reply, received next day, gave the permission saying: “Tell Robert to take every occasion to read the immortal document, and the bigger the crowd the louder he must holler.” Dr. Fuller organized = New Hampshire regiment, and later during the Civil war President Lincoin appointed him governor of the terri- tory of Utah. Dr. Fuller first met Mark Twain in Nevada when he lived ! in the little camp which was the home of Governor Nye of Nevads whom he was iting. Mark Twain that time was working on the Terri- | torial Enterprise of Virginia City. Dr. | Fuller and the author became intim- ; ate friends and years after when Mark Twain first came to New York, after | his successful lecture tour in Califor- | nia, he called on the former governor at his offices. With the & tance of Dr. Fuller, arrangements were made for the first Twain lecture which v given at Cooper Union. Before the lec ture an incident occurred typical of both Mark Twain and Dr. IFuller. In speaking of it in later vears, Dr. Ful- | ler said: “Mark thought that his ordin- ary sack suit would be good enough to lecture in. I told him he must | wear evening dress and he said he had | never worn a claw-hammer in his fife. | 1 put a first-class tailor on the job and made Mark get a suitable collar and , necktie. Wlen the clothes came Mark | put them on and rehearsed n my off- | where his committee work ice, and as he rehearsed he railed at the tailor who had sewed up the but- tonholes so he couldn’t button his coat.

This truth has an illustration in the decision | | i | | | | | dow, you soon to ask of the senate at Washington to leave it to Senator Burton to say just what it to rivers and harbors bill this year, cou , behind this action lies the feur | of filibuster which would prevent the passage of any bill whatever, But there will be no filibuster agninst a bill properly trimmed, and to Senator Burton is to be turned over to the main part of the work of cutting away the superfluities and excrescences. If | the final sum appropriated held down- to the amount actually needed to go on with projects under way, there will be no objec- tion to the measure. This unusual | resort is a tribute to the special knowledge of the subject possessed by Mr. Burton. Most of it was acquired during his long service in the house, made him an authority on rivers and aarbors It may be added that the function now temporarily conferred upon him is such as foreign governments are glad to bestow upon qualified permanent officials, They make up the budget in the namo of the ministry.

It is inconceivable that such an un- just statute should be enacted into law in this state. Sunday closing been proposed before in the legislature and defeated. One of the proponents of such a measure, posing as a moral re- former, is now doing time in the penitentiary for grafting. In view of past attempts at such legislation, the effort of Senator this time, when the public, worried and harassed over the war and business conditions, is in des- perate need of recreation and amuse- ment upon the only day of rest, is pe- culiarly inopportune and it doubtless will meet the fate it deserves. The population of New York is the most cosmopolitan in the world It (New Review.) It seems no session some to s a at color. Hundreds of thousands of citizens coming from foreign coun- tries have been accustomed all their lives to make a holiday of Sunday, at- of amusements. They have been told land of liberty, and they have come here seeking it as a haven under the impression that the liberties which they enjoyed at home will be enlarged and not curtailed. To enforce such a law as Senator Jones has proposed for Sun- day closing wauld certainly result in serious disturbances among our for- eign element, but the chief argument against it is that it is wholly unnec- essary and unjust to the public. The Mother of Asbury Park. (Newark News.) The rapidity with which some of the New Jersey coast towns and re- have grown is emphasized by death of Mrs. Helen M. bradley, wife of James A. Bradley, the founder of Asbury Park, She was in a double sense the “first lady of Asbury Park.” When, in 1871, her husband bought the 500 acres of brambles, sand dunes, marshes and scrub pine tangles that then lay be- tween Wesley Lake and Deal, she went with him to that barren spot and helped him to develop its resources. She was a kind of guardian angei over the place, aiding the workingmen with encouragement, counsel, good in- fluence and often good food, and con- tributing to the social welfare of the families that soon began to gather in the newly-opened place. She lived to see the coast town grow from almost nothing to a bustling, thriving city of nearly 15,000 permanent residents and three or four times that number in the summer season. Its tax valua- tions are little short of $15,000,000, and its streets, parks and churches are numerous and beautiful. All this Mrs. Bradley saw it developed from the barren land upon which she worked faithfully forty-four PArS ago. Of late she lived almost entire- ly in New York, but maintained more or lesg interest in Asbury Park, as be- fitting one who its “first lady for many years, as was Playwrights Don't Get Deal, American Magazine Eaton, dramatic publication, presents an interesting article in which he shows how far dramatists are re- moved from the public. He savs that a dramat even if his play Is accepted, is not at all certain that his idea will reach the public in the form which he intended. Scene painters and actors and managers and various other agencies intervene to change or misinterpret his meaning. The result is that good plays often fail and bad succeed. One the worst dif- is that new plays are prac- iven only one chance. In the following passage taken from his arti- cle he shows the injustice of this, and how the ideal thing to do would be have several presentations of a | in different parts the coun- | so that a real te could made as to the play's fitness “Hurry up and bhecome ‘Hamlet’” and the ‘School dal’ aren’t considered bad cause bad acting or had has frequently caused them fail.
