Norwich, Monday, Jan. 18, 1900. NOT ATTEMPTING TO GET TWO| SALARIES. Congressman Higgins was right when he said on the floor of congress that he thought Congressman Lilley had resigned, This flurry in congress to prevent the governor of Connecticut from capturing two salarjes is just about equal to being frightened by a snow- man at night. To save to the taxpayers the cost of a special election at a cost of from $26,000 to $50,000, Governor Woodruff says that he refused to accept Mr. Lilley’s resignation offered in writing on December 11, 1908. A new mem- ber would be in Washington only 57 days. p) ‘With such & backing as this, Gov- ermor Liftley is all right when he de- oclares that he will not resign to him- self or Speaker Cannon; and that he has no idea of eollecting mileage or the galary for the unexpired term, will be accepted by the people of Connec- ticut as true. It would be interesting to know who is prompting Congressman Gaines of Tennesses in his part of the perform- amoe. ‘This is wholly the business of Con- necticut. In this state at the present moment all the people are applaud- ing his resolution to stand pat. The New Muven Leader pute it right when it says: “It is gossible, mereover, that if this congress would employ itself about something useful, it would for- get about such a petty matter as the absence of the member from Connec- tieut, “Mr. Lilley was present at the last session, the members undoubtedly re- member without difficulty. He suc- ceeded in making that session memor- able for some of them, and, had he been given justice, there would have heen more resignations than his. It is hardly surprising that some of the members notice acutely his absence from this gession. Perhaps that has something to do with the pmgllnlncl they give to it.” AMONG THE THIRTY-FIVE OP- POSERS. Representative Henry is one of the thirty-five congressmen who do not believe in quarreling with President Roosevelt, and in consequence he is receiving many letters of commenda- tion from his constituents. The brain-storm creat is because of a difference of interpretation of the president's message, and an inter- pretation stuck to after the president has declared that it is not a fair in- terpretation of his words; that he did mot intend to and hes not arraigned congress as & whole for its misdeeds; and the president is upheld by such scholars as Lyman Abbott in this de- feuse of hig words, It fs strange that congress should find fitself just now at odds with the president and the people over such a trivial matter. The statesmen at ‘Washington who used to foresee the pepularity of certain movements and giids along amid the plaudits of the people, appear to have all gone out ot pudblio lfe; and obstructionists who pay no heed to the popular will seem to be in their places. What the people would like to ses done in ‘Washington is good work in their in- terests. The story of the secret service, as told by the president, has made a Geep Impression upon the people, and te say that they are surprised over the gituation is really drawing it mild. Congress must bs familiar with what heappens to people who fool with a buzs-saw. What has alweys hap- pened ag the result of such rashness s likely to eontinue to happen. The thirty-five opposed to the res- olution have the people with them. A SINGULAR CASE OF LEGERDE- MAIN. ‘When a bottle of whiskey on the desk of the Branford town court in this state was discovered to have turned to ginger ale the court was surprised, It was in the case of the state against Timothy J, MecCarthy of the Hillside hotel. It is alleged that when he came Into court Prosceutor Harry ‘W. Doolittle had with him a half- pint bottle of whiskey, which was wold {llegally by McCarthy, as alleged. This bottle was laid on the stenogra- pher’s desk, duly marked and labeled an exhibit in the case. While the hunt was on for the interpreter, Court Stenographer Kelsey, glancing at the bottle, noticed that its contents were acting pecullarly for whiskey, and he so Informed the prosecutor, saying that it was the first whiskey he had ever seen bubble and fizz. Prosecutor Doolittle found that the bottle containing the whiskey had been spirited away and that e similar bottle had been put on the table. This contained ginger ale, The court and even the lawyer for the defense refused to look upon this as a case of legerdemain, and the lat- ter left the case because his client would not restore the alleged whiskey, He denied all knowledge of any trick- ery and went ahead with g new law- yer, but the case went against him, eand he was fined $200 and sentenced to six months in jall, This shows that it is better to let “the little jokers” that have fallen in- to the hands of the court alone; as no other “joker” can hope to gain favor by any evidence of shrewdness he may turnish, The one child mother in New York who has petitioned for a divorce be- ocause of the prospects of jnvoluntary gervitude in caring for a dozen or so, besides being ecook, housekeeper and nurse, might have added dressmaker and spanker. s BRIy HESES T Men are not always looking for bur- dens, The woman with a farm and a bank account had a thousand appli- cations for marriage as soon as she announced herself in the fleld, President-elect Taft says that the Constitution of the country is good enough for him. 8o say we all of us! ‘Under the present circumstances, the secret gervice of the government has come to be a pubdlic affair. The fact that 1,500 young people of Cleveland, O. have resolved during 1909 to live Christian lives has made the wholé country sit up and take no- tice. Thig is not strange m l?. re- ligion proposed is not popularly re. garded as being practical, although there can be no doubt that it is prac- tical to live by the principles laid down by Christ. Since this has been announced a young woman said she could not live as Christ would because the require- ments of the mercantile firm for whom she worked would not permit her—she would havG to lose her employment, when Christ would not have recog- nized any employment which conflicted with correet living. Now another paragraph says that although in need of work, a yogng Boston woman, a member of a Baplist church, threw up her place as stenog- rapher because her employer dictated a letter to her, arranging for the ad- vertisement of a liquor dealer—this Lecause e was trying to live as Christ would live, Her explanation is that “if even as a stenographer I wrote to a liquor dealer, I should on recelving my weekiy salary accept money that might have been the price of a lost soul” » Her piety was commended, but her commonsense has been questioned. The Christ-life is not of the imagi- nation, but of the heart—a life of self- denial and self-sacrifice—or doing good for good's sake. The Waterbury Republican says “it would be interesting to know what change would be experienced if for a vear all corporation officers carried the principles of the Christian religion into their business, according to the best of their ability, both as to their employes and the public at large; and if all employes did likewise, bent up- on giving honest value in their occu- pations. The interminable confusion of government and private prosecu- tions would vanish and labor and cap- ital would enter upon a new era of blessed peace.” TUnder present conditions 1t does not appear to be easy to imitate the pure life of the Saviour. Along business lines such a life does not seem to be in demand. L LR T S FIRES OF 1908. There is no country under the sun which suffers such large losses from fire as does this country: and last year the total losS, according to The Insurance Press, was $190,000,000, Nineteen citles have ‘excessive per capita losses recorded against them. Mobile heads the list with a per capita loss of $8.47. The others, with their respective per capita Josses are: Ta- coma $8.34, San Francisco $3.79, Port- land, Me., $3.42, Cumberland, Md, $7.5 Boston $3.84, Chelsea $3.32 Gloucester $7.81, Detroit $4.57, Man- hattan and Bronx borough $3.69, Utlca $4.21, Wilmington, N. C., $3.36, Cincin- nat{ $5.79, Youngstown, O., § Port- land, Ore, $3.88, Chattanooga $3.32, Memphis $7.61, Nashville $3.13, Fort Worth $4.33. About half of the 497 cities and towns in which fires occurred had no fire alarm telegraph system, and the fire departments do not show up well for efficiency or equipment. There is nothing which tells more for prevention of fires than good reg- ulations thoroughly enforced by a fire marshal. It is the ounce of preven- tion which is so well applied here in Norwich that keeps the fire losses down. We not only have a good w ter service, but an active chief en; neer who as fire marshal sees that every precaution is taken throughout the business district to prevent fires. EDITORIAL NOTES. Hains must wonder whether in his trial before a jury they were his peers or net, A married men’s club for the pro- motion of equal suffrage has been formed in Chicago. Some men are said to be so Ais- honest that they will cheat themselves when playing solitaire. President-elect Taft appears to have had no trouble in setting up a mutual admiration society down in Florida. The boy who cannot see moving pletures in the snow shovel in these times has not the twentieth century eyesight. Happy thought for today: worried through so many terms that terror for us. We have legislative the present one has mno Senator Foraker is engaged princi- pally in showing the people that he fs not the statesman that they thought he was. The Rev. Carmichael was not so different from other criminals, He blamed the man he cut up for the whole transaction, America may be in the lead in ren- dering assistance to Italy, but wouldn't it be just as well to let other eoun- tries say most about that. New Hampshire may not realize that when she owns a million-dollar state house that it will be necessary to elect a governor to fit it. Andrpw Carnegie gave away the most money of any person in the country last year, but “dosh” with him is not yet showing any scarcity. The author of “How to Be Happy Though Married, s reported to have driven his wife and children out of doors by menacing them with a razor. The American Bison society has elected President Roosevelt an hon- onary president. This was not be- cause he was just passing off the stage, The predicter of the end of the world on July 10th next, was very thoughtfu] of the American boy. He must get in one more Independence day celebration. Pardon Refused Preston. The board of pardons at Carson has denied the application of M. R. Pres- ton and Joseph Smith, the two men convicted of the murder of John Silva, a restaurant keeper of Goldfield, March 10, 1907. Preston was convicted of mur- der and Smith of manslaughter. Preston gained national notoriety last summer when he was nominated for president of the United States on the socialist labor ticket. The shooting of Silva was the culmination of a strike of waiters and waitresses in a restaurant in Goldfield which followed Silva’s refusal to refrain from board- ing persons inimical to the interest of the Goldfield union of the industrial workers of the world. “Duty is paramount with that wom- an.”, “As to how?” *“If she can’t go to the bridge party she always sends a substitute.” — Louisville Courier- Journal Footwear Made Neat. To' clean white kid slippers, wash them with benzine, usi a soft | brush; rinse well in fresh benzine, and while they are wet rub a little French chalk thoroughly into the kid. This helps to remove the black marks the slippers obtained by wear- ing. Then put the slippers to dry, and@ they look fresh and clean. Patent leather shoes should never be cleaned with blacking. They should first be wiped with a d|-.mp sponge and polished with a soft cloth.

The temperature of the bath should be comfortably warm and .gradually raised until hot. » The patient should reiax in the tub for ten to twenty minutes, according to her strength. The bed linen should be warm upon retiring and the sleeping chamber should be well ventillated. NEEDLEWORK SUGGESTIONS. Design for outlet embroidery, to be transferred to a baby’s cap of silk mull, satin, batiste, Persian or Victoria lawn, thin ‘cambric, nainsook or jaconet,and worked with mercerized cotton or silk, preferably in white or some delicate shade, the cap being lined with silk or muslin of a similar shade when fin- ished. Wheat design, to be transferred to a shirt waist of heavy linen, thin cam- | brie, Victorla lawn, Indian-head cotton | or any of the washable materials and embroidered with mercerized cotton or | filo silk. | NEEDLEWORK NOTES. | An embroidered handkerchief makes | a pretty bertha for a baby's frock and | is generally cheaper than embroidery bought specially for the purpose. Thin old blankets, put two together and then covered with cretonne on both sides, make a useful bedquil which is quite onrmatental if the cre: tonne be a pretty one. A frill all around makes a nice finish to the quilt. A fold of cloth heading the top of a cloth jumper blouse was separated from the bodice proper with a dozen or more little pieces of narrow rib- bon. attached to the upper portions with a small velvet hutton and upon the bodice with a button. The strap- ped effect across the front and back was unusual, but effective. Many decry the use of the sewing machine for gathering ruffles, but why this should be is not known, nei- ther is it reasonable, for the machine does beautiful work when properly adjusted for gathering dress materfal You want to lengthen the stitch a lit- tle and tighten the tension. By doing this you will find that you can more easily adjust the gathers, drawing vu or filling in more gathers in a certain space. Pork Cake Without Eggs. One pound of all fat salt pork. Re- move the rind and chop as fine as possible. Put pork in 1 pint of new milk and scald, then straln to remove lumps, should there be any. Two cups unsifted flour, 1 pound of seeded rais- ins, 1-2 pound currants, 3 cups brown sugar, 1 cup of molasses, 2 dessert- spoons of ground cloves, 2 grated nut- megs, 2 teaspoons of oz.. dissolved in hot water. Sift the flour and put the frult and spices in part of it. The cake needs to be made quite stiff but should the 2 cups be too much, leave some out. This cake is best made two or three weeks ;elore using. O’Brien atoes. Six raw potatoes, peeled, cut into dice and parboiled, but not broken; one green pepper, chopped very fine; one pint of sweet milk thickened with two tablespoons of flour stirred to a paste with a lump of butter the size of an egg. Grease a baking dish, put in the potatoes and green pepper, gea- son with salt and pepper, add the thickened milk, also seasoned, cover the top of the dish with a half-cup of grated cheese and bake slowly for an hour, Rich Dark Cake. Two cups sugar, 1 3-4 cups butter, 8 eggs, 2 3-4 cups pastry flour, 1 cup red flour, 2 teaspoons each of cinnamon and nutmegs, 1 eup muscate] raisirs, 1 cup stltana raisins, I cup citron cut fine. Line pan with thick, strong paper and bake about 1 1-2 hours. Collar of Figured Lace. Among the novel guimpes is that | whose sleeves and shoulders all in one are of tucked net while the pointed V and collar are of figured lace. The cloth part of the gown does not cover the shoulders, but is bound witn velvet fastened near the shoulder and trimmed with buttons. Bay Rum Makes Curls. Small wisps of hair will stay ’'n curl much longer if just before the hair is curled with ‘the heated iron the locks are dampened with bay rum. This often proves very helpful on damp days. CHILD'S DRESS. Paris Paftern No. 2737 — All Seams Allowed, This dainty Mttle frock for the very small child should be developed in sheer white batiste or nainsook. ~The full body portion is gathered and at- tached to the round yoke and princess panel—cut In one plece—of the mate- rlal, and the full sleeves, which may be long or short, according/ to taste, are gathered into narrow wristbands or armbands. The dress fastens at the Center-back with very small pearl but- tons, and the lower edge is finished with a simple hem. A pretty finish would be to feathorstitch either side of the princess panel and the lower edge of the yoke, as well as the hem, wrist- bands and collar. 1f desired, the voks and panel may be embroidered with a conventional design of blossoms and leaves, worked with white mercerized cotton.

For ‘ravelling, both on ship and land, small hats are better than large ones, and ostrich tips or plumes should not be chosen as trimming. Stiff quills or wings, with ribbon, are much better and look smarter at such times. Washing Off Egg Stains. Everyone has experienced the an- noyance of not being able to wash dishes on which there have been eggs without a great deal of trouble, When dishes on which there is egg are to be washed, rinse them well in cold water when piling them up read for washing, Then wash in the usual way, and it will be found that the e~ 'will not stick nearly so much and will be easier and more quickly re- moved than if the dishes are put directly in the warm water. How to Prolong Life of Linen Sheets. Linen eheets, like others, wear first in the center, and it repays to slit them down the middle to get the edges in_the place. ‘This is done by tearing them in two lengthwise. The selvages are then overhanded to_ gether with very fine cotton, that a big seam shall not be made, and then the raw edges are hemmed. The life of a sheet is generally pro- longed if this is done in time. Tricorne Hat Stunning. Quite stunning is one of the new tricorne hats with a large buckle caught across over the front point ana two heavy ostrich plumes rising from it. The crown is draped with velvet. Seamstress’ Little Trick. A seamstress who is noted for her splendid machine work says that s.e never puts the needle of the machine into a piece of work witheut first slin- ping a piece of paper under the ma- terial. ‘This prevents the thread slipping or Dulf::“n‘hwoul"d ab;ml the needle. ity er the piece of paper can eas pulled out.
