Gov. George L. Lilley has taken the initiative in trying to settle the hat- gers’ strike, whose representatives and manufacturers’ assoclation have Eed to reach satisfactory conclu- ns. Hatmaking is one of Connecticut's t industries and it will be a most t service if Governor Lilley, ith the governors of New York and Jew Jersey, can succeed In arranging s agreeable to all parties con- eerned. The New York Times says upon this matter: ‘It is understood that the governors will act Independently of the strikers and the manufacturers. Governor Lil- ley of Connecticut has addressed let- ters to Governor Fort and Governor Hughes, asking them to meet him in conference. It is understood doth gov- ernors will do =o. “President John A. Moffitt of the unfon sald yestorday that the union would be glad to submit its case to the three governors, and ablde by their decision. “The Hat Manufacturers’ association | held a series of meetings lasting all day Saturday at the Hotel Astor to con- sider action to be taken regarding the strfke of the hatters against the de- | sision to discontinue the union label. Important action was taken, it is said, but the meetings were secret and no statement will be given out until Tuesday next.” The issue is not so serious if the men would get Into a rational mood and falrly consider it, 1t 1z quite llkely that the board o governors will find a way to set th hat factorles to running regularly again. THE MANAGEMENT OF JAILS. So far as it relates to the criminal the Connecticut jail is a soft enap. Last year's report of the conduct of the jails shows that the board of the prisoners cost the state four times ‘what the 1,138 prisoners earned. The average earnings were not two dollars a month per prisoner. Following are the statistics of earnings from each | | county jail: Daily Av. No. Earnings of County. Prisoners. Prisoners.

They take out their prisoners and work them by the day in the woods or on the farm. Fairfield county, with three times as many prisoners, made no re- turns whatever. Litchfleld county, with 45 prisoners, made almost as good :’;howlng as New Haven county with The Hartford Times says: “In comparison with Windham, the exhibit made by most of the other counties is wholly unsatisfactory. The ratios of different countles are a study in diversity, a problem in variety, a picture of contrasts, From the Wind- ham county report to the Fairfield county showing is a long distance— and al] the way down hill.” It 1= apparent enough that the sys- tem of managing the jails might he very much improved. Since the state paid 126,000 for the board of prisoners, thers can be n6 doubt that this system is one of the white man’s burdens. The Massachusetts legislature has 1,374 bills before 1it, all originated within the year. One-third of the proposed measures are not passed and we have ten times too much law, The pope was surprised when he learned that one-third of the men of the fleet circumnavigating the globe were Catholics. This government knows how to prize them. This has not been a very severe winter on land, but the life savers on the coast have had a cold and bleak time of it resculng men from the sea. Happy thought for today: The ‘world’s heroes are only human meteors, there is @ dash, and a flash, a round of praise and then they are forgotten. The electoral vote is still slow, but the last one is now said to have ar- rived at Washington ‘plan has been te of the United States to end of the Brownsville affair as a theme for political agitation, by em- nmfl:‘l; special commission of five army cers not below the rank of colonel, which is to restore to the army the innocent colored soldiers and to make a final report within a year. The Boston Transcript, commenting upon this plan, says: “ “The findings of the commission can) be but recommendations to the sec- retary of war, since a board of five officers cannot be empowered directly to reinstate men discharged by order of the commander-in-chief, but there wwill probably be no disposition in of- ficia] quarters to prolong the situation by postponing action on the verdict of the investigators. “This sol m of the preblem of how to put back the innocent without rais- ing the everlasting ‘constitutional question’ seems to be fortunate, It will bring to the work of untangling conflicting testimony the talent and experience of officers long familiar with ldiers and their ways, and capable of applying tests which more than once have demonstrated their value. “In a natura] course of events it will be Mr. Taft's gecretary of war who will pass upon the findings of the commission, a circumstance eminently favorable to ,the disappearance of ‘Brownsville' three vears after the memorable raid. If the general under- standing that the government is today | satisfied that from one-half to two- thirds of the discharged soldiers were innocent of participation in the affray and were not in a ‘conspiracy of si- lence, is correct, the duties of the mmission need not bg peculiarly la- Some south senators are antagonizing pian.

The loss of the White Star liner Re- publie, and the narrow escape of a thousand and a half of passengers, has called. sharp attention to the speed madness which has been cause of com- plaint against these ocean liners from captains of small craft for years. The complaint of the fishermen on George’s banks against these great steamships has been long and loud, and many a passenger who happened to be upon deck when the fog bank lifted would be startled to see scores fishing boats in the water about. It s doubtless a fact that many of these little schooners have been sent to the bottom by liners and not even the lookout in the steamers’ bows know of it. The charge, at least, has been repeated so often that there must be something of truth in There is no proof t the Repub- | lie slowed down on account of the | thick fog encountered: and it is a | fact that her record from moment she cleared Sandy Hook until she col- lided in the North Atlantic with the Florida shows an average run of fif- teen knots an honr. Now the admiralty courts are to have a great trial to fix the blame and the amount of damages, and it will be interesting to keep tabs on the evi- dence and see how much respect the owners of these great liners have for the laws of navigation At present there is not much evidence that they have any. THE SMILE THAT WON'T COME OFF. There are too many people who do | not belleve there is any such smile. | It matters not how much is sald about | it, or how many instances are shown that man may even smile when others weep. A convict at Sing ord by walking to the elect with the same old smile upon his face, He was doubtless thinking it would soon be over, not that he was going to be hurt. It Is a great thing to be able to smile where others would frown, and t is a shameful thing to frown when nost people would smile a dea] to do with how look under the trials and we act and troubles of tife. | It is much better to go smiling through life than to go frowning through it. and it will not be a sin| to smile when others would weep. | | There is nothing like keeping np a| | show of cheerfulness under the most | disappointing circumstances, for it | may be of real benefit to others if not 0 one's self.

Long bead necklacgs of coral or large cut beads have come in, apparently, to stay; they seem to outline the vest as they hang. Watches on New Bags. The new bags for shopping with a tiny watch set in the side are most attractive and useful. Red Dotted Ruche, If you want to be dashing, wear a white Pierrot ruche with large red dots. MENDING HINTS, If a buttonhole tears out lay a plece of closely woven tape back o: it, stitch firmly in place, hem the old button- hole to it neatly and then cut and work in the tape a new buttonnoie or the proper size. An extra fine way is to rip the band apart and take out the threads of the old buttonnose, stitch the tape on the insde of the paca .rtd of the band, stitch up the latter in its original shape and proceed as before. ‘Wken buttons bhave torn out it Is com- paratively easy to squeeze a small square of good tape through the hole, lay it flat in the proper position be- tween the two folds of the band and stiteh it in place. Hem down the rag- ged edges on both sides and sew the buttons to the tape.
