The rumor that the will of the late Willlam Ross of Chaplin, that is to be heard for admission on the 14th instant, is to be contested by distant blood re- lations of the deccased, is considered absurd by those who have known Mr Ross for years. He was a man of un= usually Keen inteslect and one who re- taified his faculties until the very last.

Webster of the city department. The company stweard and assistants re. ceived just meed of praise for the ex- | cellent “manner in which the supper was prepared and served. The supply of oysters was donated by J. H. Hooker, who was present to enjoy the time with the boys. Cigars | for the snjoyable evening, Windhams, ! were furnished by ex-Chief Leonard. The balance of the evening was spent v, with games of pool and a | number of friendly matches at check- cre. Asdlstant Engineer John Rourke succeeded in carrying off the honors In | the latter sport, after a hard tussle with a local press representative. OBITUARY. Assistant Secretary of State John G. Mitohell. John G. Mitchell, a well known at- torney of Hartford, and assistant sec- retary of state, died at his home in C lumbia Saturday afternoon at.2 o'clock, of stymach trouble. Mr. Mitchell had only been il since Wednesday evening, and his death was a shock to relatives and friends in this city. Mr. Mitchell was born in Ireland, and came to this country when about 20 vears old. He was a prominent lawyer in the Capitol City, and had bnt re- cently acquired a residence in Colum- bia. having lived there a little over a vear. At the time Attorney Huber Clark was socretary of state he appointed Attorney Mitchell his chief clerk, and the well known attorney has held that office ever since. He was about 45 vears old, and leaves, besides his wid- ow, three small sol | informal Good Homes for Seven Orphans. Seven orphans were at St. Joseph | church Sunday morning, brought here by a representative of one of the tholic. orphans’ homes in Boston Good homes were found for all of them, the children being placed in the homes | of a number of the parishioners. BOARC OF ALDERMEN Will Have to Settle Matter of City Clerkship at Tonight's Meeting. The meeting of the board of alder- men this cvening promises'to be un- usually interesting, as the matter of the city clerkship is to come up. It is uncertain what will be done regarding the matter, for the members of the hoard seem to be at variance concern- ing the disposition of the matter. Should the present incumbent, Fred A. Sanderson, resign, the work for the board would be simply to appoint a successor to hold office for the balance | of the term or until the regular elec- { tion next winter. Some of the board | are said to favor the appointment of an assistant city clerk, which power is vested in the board in an emergency of the nature now up for consideration. Still others are said to favor Mr. San- derson’s resignation «from both offices of city clerk and city treasurer, inas- much as he has been tendered and ac- cepted a more remunerative position with the Windham Silk company. § Two republican candidates for the office of city clerk are John B. Bdgzar- | ton and Clarence E. Bowgn, both well known local young mén who have many friends. “Mr. Edgarton has been employed by the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company in | this city for a number of vears, and | has won promotion by his painstaking | work and strict attention to whateve: duty was essigned to him. Mr. Bow en was a candidate for the city clerk- ship four years ago, but owing to Mr. Sanderson’s efficiency and extreme popularity was 'defeated. Mr. Bowen is a son of Judge Andrew J. Bowen of this city and a member of the fire in- | surance firm of A. J. Bowen & Son. A number of democratic candidates have bobbed up, prominent among | whom are Colonel J. H. Morrison, Cap- | ton Eugene Ashton, and Louis J. Flvnn, assistant ticket agent at the Union station. In the event of Mr. Sander- | son's resignation, the majority of the | present board of aldermen being re- publizan, a democrat would stand | slight show of winning out. There are those who ay that the reason for wishing an a stant ap- pointed to Mr. Sanderson is a mere subterfuge to retain a democratic lien upon the office, 8o that that party will be able to put a strong candidate in the field at the next city election and re- | tain the office that has ben held by a representative of that party for more than a decade. | Local Net Charles H.

Deserve the Thanks of the People. The men who have just handed in to the general assembly a report on pub- lic service corporations, which makes a compact volume of 114 pages, have done hard and faithtul work. They deserve the hearty thanks of the peo- ple of the state. We hope their recom- mendations will be as practical in op- eration as they have been laborious In preparation. Since the judges swept away the corrupt practices act, on which much careful = work had been done, and_which had supposedly beon scrufinized by skilful and thorough- going lawyers, it is natural to be sus- pletous of the stabllity of legislation of a complex kind, when the men best in- formed and upon whom we are depen- dent for the form it takes are unable to foresee the effect of their work, or are willing to pass laws that don't mean anything in the test—Waterhury American. A Business Farewell. Instead of making his last word one of general character, Governor Wood- ruff. made it wholly specific. It was not a_preachment or. state government, or on tho relations between the exccu- tive and legislative branches, or on general rolicies in which he was inter. estcd, but on a concrete case of taxa- tion, promising increased jncome to the state. Thus Governor Woodruff con- firmed his reputation as a business man in the governor's chair.—Water- bury American, Hill or Brandegee. A new theory of the duty and func- tions of a United States scnator is now being ur in _Connecticut. The chief, it not the sole, test of eligibiiity for this office, ave are now told, ia the capacity of incumbent to play a servile part in the government, to be, not a representative of the state, but of ancther entity, unknown to the con- stitution of the United States, called “the administration.” This novel doctrine, which would be more shocking 1t it were less ridicu- lous, would have caused the republi- cané of Connecticut to be besought. when Joseph R. Hawley was first a candidate for the senate, to.give him the office because of his devotion to the administration of President Grant. But was that argument then used” Was it because of thelr willingness to take their orders from the ite House as to what they should do in the senatc chamber that Orville H. Platt, who became & senator in the time of Hayes, was continved in his office through the terms of Garfleld, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt, an1 that General Hawley was kept there as his colleague from 1881 until 19057 Was it the prevalling impression of the republican voters of Connecticut that—to mention only one instance— Senator Platt took Instructicns from William McKinley, or did William Me- Kinley follow the suggestions and the advice of Mr. Platt? Of which of the presidents named was Hawley the humble and obedient servant? We are told the next senator from Connecticut must be an echo of Mr. Taft and an unquestioning supporter of all his policies. This ix a reversa! of all the old and accepted notions party representation and relationshir Ccnnecticut senatorships to be the ap panage of the White House—mer hand stamps to register and confirm in the senate chamber the president’s wili, or the will that animates him? pnat en absurdity! — Hartford tmes.
