The nominatioa of Gardiner Greene to the superior court bench is plaasing to his friends in eastern Connecticut. Mr. Greene stands high in his pro- fession and his quelifications for the bench are unquestioned. That he will make an able, considerate and fair judge s recognized by the legal fra- ternity In ail parts of the state. It is ocomplimentary to Mr. Greene to bhave the office tendsrel to him unsolicited, and there appears to be no opposition to him anywhers. That he merits the honor and will in turn honor the posi- tion s apparent enough. Mr. Greene is spoken of as the personal friend of Governor Weeks, but, this being true, it is clear that fitness not friendship wholly prompted his selestion. Nor- wich is gratified to see Mr. Greene Seservedly advanced. His scholarship. his able career at the bar and his well balanced judgments have been thus worthily recognized. b it S SO CALEB B, TILLINGHAST. Many people In eastern Connectiout wil be interested in the notice take: of the 80th anniversary as state li- prarian of Caleb B. Tillinghast, a na- tive of Plainfleld, by the Boston papers, #0 near the time of his death. The Boston Record, alluding to his work at the state house, says: “That he built up t tate library into an 1deel institution of its kind, the high- est Morary authorities agres, He had developed it from g small affair to & thoroughly organised, well equipped and substantial institution, He had added features of real practical value. He had increased its usefulne: The Boston Transcript has the fol- Jowing to offer upon the same subject: “Under Mr. Tillinghast the library was Immensely increased, both by col- Jection and by expansion of the ‘ex- change’ system. It bécame a vast storehouse, readlly accessible, and was particularly strong In its assemblage of works of legsl learning. In & word, Mr. Tillinghast was a model modern Itbrarian, of the school which believes that books are made to be read, not #imply to be seen through giass, and then darkly. “Recognition of his werth as & Ii- brarian came many times to Mr. Til. Hmghast from those ‘most capable of realizing it. He might have left the service of the state years ago for more Jucrative employment had not his lJove for his work governed him, “It may be mentloned as at once fl- Justrative of his purpose to collect and store material for history and of his untiring industry, that In compliling a record of members of the Massachu- setts legislature running far back into the history of the state, he had per. sonally conducted from his home and in the limited lelsurs of his officiaj duties a correspondonce which some time ago had reached the volume of 75,000 letters.” Mr. Tillinghast was city editor of the Boston Journal when he was called to this place and his love of books and recognition of the value of sys- tem had placed him In the list of efficient and celebrated libarians of his time. THE HALF-HOLIDAY SPIRIT. Those whe believe in half-holidays at the week-end will be pleased to learn by a special despatch from Washington that “the Taft adminis. tration is rapidly eonverting Satur- days into half-holidays. The example has been set by the president, and is being rapidly taken up by the mem- Ders of hls cabinet, so that the only people In official Washington to be found at their desks on Baturdays are the unfortunate clerks. The wheels of the government practically come to & standstill at one o'clock on this day, although the varfous offices are open untll 4.30 o'clock, and the army of understrappers s compelled to stay on the job until that hour. “Every Baturday afternoon, have one, since he entered the White house, has been. devoted to golf playing by President Taft. Mr. Knox and Mr. Meyer are also golf players and are members of the same club with the president, They get away from their offices early on the last day of the week. The other members of the eab- inet follow various forms of recreation also” It is not likely that with such an Intense manifestation of week-end recreation so early in Washington that “the understrappers” ‘wil] be kept at their desks all summer. What is good for the high-ups would be just as ben- eficlal to the low-downs, and if it makes the one class capable of doing better work so it wil] the other. And, with this half-holiday spirit so notice- able in the administration, the feeling of its importance and value is likely to spread to all parts of the country and to reinforce a business practice which has been growing in popularity everywhere for some years. An eastern Connecticut man who was at the capitol one day this week was surprised to see no emblem of mourning for the most popular gov- ernor Connecticut ever had or ever lost, and he felt like exclaiming, so that all could hear: “Folkses, hain't you dun forgot sumpin’!” ‘When Johnson learns that the great James Jeffries must train a year be- fore he will consent to meet him, we shall not blame our black brother it he gives several “guffaws” at the rec- ognition “the superior rate” gives him. Some of the committeemen at Hart- ford esk questions of eitizens appear- ing before them in a way which sug- gests a little previous tralning would have been a good thing.

No man’s health resides in a pill- box or a bottle, but a good many men act as If sither was more effective for salvation than prayers. It 1s pleasant to do gardening in mittens with one’s breath as a foggy witness of the performance SANITARY INSPECTION OF SUM. MER RESORTS. In looking after the health conditions of sum-.er resorts, the New York: health authorities are taking a most commandable course. It has been demonstrated too many times that the resort which has been sought in the interests of health is an invalid-mak- ing and death-dealing spot in eight counties. Healthy summer resorts are just as necessary as pure food and the label 1s actually necessary for most of them. The New York state board which has given attention to this matter says in a report: “This work, begun in 19807, is of great importance on account of the con- stantly Increasing proportion of city residents who seek their pleasure in the country districts of the state, It is well known that the Infectious dis- eases .In the citles take on a much more serious numerical aspect after the vacation time has passed, and any inspection that can make more health- fu] the country resort will be of im- portance in improving the health rec- ords of the city. ' “Much of the New York work the past season has been to review the inspections of 1807, by which it was found that conditions not considered sanitary had In practically all the been improved, and at the same time much excellent new work was done in twe mountain regions of the state.’ This ought %o greatly Increase the patronage of places known to be in assuring sanitary condition. This is something resort managers would find profitable should they specially invite it. The patrons of these places like to know that they are clean and safe. OUR OLD GENERALS. The fact that Gen. Daniel H. Ruek- er passed his 97th birthday on the 28th inst. has called attention to several | of our old generals. General Rucker's commission, dated more than three- quarters of a century ago, bears the signature of Andrew Jackson, More fortunate than most military patri- archs, General Rucker has preserved his menta] powers, and while his mem- ory permits him to talk of the brevet he received at Buena Vista sixty-two years ago last February his modesty will not. General Rucker's modesty stands In the way of some very pi- quant recollections, for his first detall for duty was at Fort Leavenworth, which he was compelled to reach by & ride of two hundred miles through a wilderness, dodging Indlans most of the way. General Rucker was fifty years old before his famous son-in- law, 8heridan, was heard of outside the army. The longevity of soldlers, barring those that get killed, as the Irishman said, is remarkable. Genera] Rucker may be the dean of the pro- fesslon, says the Boston Transeript, | but here and there are still found hale old men, who did their full share of fighting seventy years ago. Alphonso Steele of Mexica, Texas, who was at the battle of San Jacinto, survives, in his ninety-fifth year, and was able last winter to reciprocate the courtesies of a public reception by the legislature of that state., Ho !s net the only sur- vivor of the Texan army that fought Mexico, for Captain Huber of Austin, who was an alde-de-camp of Sam Houston, but not personally present at Ban Jacinto, Is able to tell of the| moving Incidents of the war for in- | dependence he witnessed.” AS TO HOODLUMISM. The lecture was finished. . Chatter- ing groups of enthusiastic women were discussing the ldeas, just advanced by the latest exponent of “Thought Con- trol”; others were hurrying away to street cars for it was getting late. Among the latter was Carolyn Deer- ing, so absorbed in discussion with her companion she signalled a car regard- less of its destination before they had even begun to say good-by. Firmly grasping the handle, rhe turned a flushed face to the conduct- or. “Does this car pass Pledmont ave- nue?” “Yes, madam,” the conductor wail- [ “Well, good-by, dear, good——" “If we don’t stay here all night,” he interrupted, and an indignant little person, mounting the steps, flashed an angry glance at his number as she passed to her seat, while the passen- gers audibly smiled. The conductor did not smile, but stoically called several streets; then came for her fare. “You were impudent.” She could not resist saying it in a low -tone. “I know it; I'm sorry,” he returned. “Tt is the fiftieth time I've had the chance today and didn’t take it up.” Such a frank apdlogy turned Caro- lyn's resentment upon herself, the more since the lecturer had expounded the ndvantages of mental control, und that was why her hand trembled a little w3 he took it kindly helping her down at Piedmoi. avenue. “I am sorry I was angry,” she falt- ered. “Oh, don't mind,” he sald. *This is my last trip tonight. T'll feel better after a rest”—and his car moved away out of sight. There were years of happiness for both unlocked in that apology, and next morning a little note thrilled in Carolyn she had not discovered there before. She was scarcely aware of it, however, until glancing at the morns ing paper startling headlines arrezted her attention. “Crash of cars! Motorman killed! Conductor not expected to live!” She read on. Yes, it was he. Con- ductor 1234 was either now dead or dying at the Lansing hospital. It seemed as if she could scarcely breathe, but she Tead the article through. The little note of the morn- ing paper had become a tumultuous chord and her whole being trembled in its power. All day her thoughts turned to the sufferer, and she fancieq the kindly eyes that smiled for her closed in death.

EDITORIAL NOTES. | ten newspapers of Connecticut published con g the death and burial of G r Lilley, nothing, probably, so ¥ and appropriately com- s the event as the remarka- e series of pictures in the Waterbury f sterday.

Day followed day, and fresh flowers were always by the sufferer—but one day a new girl at the ’phone could give no information regarding the vic- ‘tim_in Ward K. “One of the sufferers in the accident had just dled.

Another year passed and the old man did pot improve; anxiously they watched him when he asked for “the boy” or “son,” until one day a mem- ber of the firm said: “It 'Is Rantoul, his secretary, he wants; let me send him down.” Carolyn met him with the motor at the station of the north shore resort and as the tall, handsome young fel- low came toward her, she felt an un- ‘forgotten chord vibrate through her whole being, for there were the same kindly eyes and smile of Conduecter 1234. “I am so gla she sald, seeing his smile of recognition., “And so am 1" he replled. “I mean,” she continued, in some eonfusion, “that you did not die.” “Oh! 1 didn't die. That was my last trip, though, as I told you. Wool business is more to my liking. I want to thank you for the flowers they did more for me than you can think.” It was Rantoul Mr. Deering had wanted, and so it came about that the young man spent many deys with them by the sea; and so it was that Rantoul and Carolyn took long walks where little salt breaths from the At- lantic came up to them; and so it was one moonlight night when she had playfully called him her Conductor 1234 he said: "“Ah! dear little girl; how could you remember that number 80 many years?’ And she stood very close to him when she answered: “Well, sir, for three good first, you were impudent to me, si and I took it to report you; secondly, it is the number of my motor, and thirdly"—the little blush was cover- «d by the moonlight, “I have loved you from that very night.”—Boston Post. ft, and making fun of the good old westerner who as head of the depart- ment of agriculture originated tie day. The eastern expression of opin- fon was that it was all right for the western people to set out trees on their treeless plains and prairles; but here in the east we were never at a loss for trees, and aside from a desultory sort of transplantaticn it was uncalled for. But in the last few years the easterner has learned that it is worth while to grow good timber on land that is rough and perhaps unfit for other agricultura] purposes. So every year a lgrger number of trees are be- ing set out, not only on the prescribed Arbor day, but on other home-made arbor days. This year, as one goes through the country districts, mothing is more common just now than to gee the men busy with spades putting in the new trees.—Hartfor@ Times. One Who Spoke With Knowledge.
