The house has passed the bill, with- out debate, concerning damages for injuries resulting in death, which re- moves the §5,000 limit as the price of a human:life sacrificed to a violence. The bill is as follows: “Section 1094 of the general statutes is hereby amended by striking out the wards “not exceeding $5,000" in the | third and fourth lines thereof, so that | saia section as. amended shall read as follows: The executor or administrator of any person whose death shall have been caused by negligence, may recov- |er of the party legally at fault just | damages.” i | This section of the statutes has been | for more than a quarter of a century | the object of attack, by lawyers and | laymen alike, who employed the con- | tention that ‘there was rank. injustice in the provision which debars a claim- |ant from recovering mere than $5,000 for a life, when there was no limit to | the amount - that might be recovered | for the loss of a leg or even a finger. | Tt is thought the bill may have difi- | culty in getting through the senate, | but “its promoters have hopes that it may pass—Hartford Post. | What Made Him Cheerful. | TIrving Bafheller introduces a_more or less cheerful bit into “The Hand- | made Gentleman,” his new novel, pub- |lished by the Harpers, of upper New | York state fifty years ago.

Get $18 in Daytime at Home of J. B. “McFarlane. The residence of James B. McFar- lane in Oakdale was entered Wed- nesday some time between 11.30 a. m. and half an hour after noon, and an amount of money, said to be about $18, taken. Mr. McFarlane is employed in the box shop of the C. M. Robertson Co. and does not go home for dinner. On Wednesday his wife left the house, taking his dinner to the factory. On her return she at once noticed that the house had been disturbed and it was evident that someone had ransacked every. place where it would be likely for valuaples to be put. The robber had entered by a window, forcing the sash lock. Mrs. McFarlane at once missed the money, but has. not yet been able to ascertain whether any silverware or other property was taken. Infor- mation of the robbery was at once given to Deputy Sheriff George N. ‘Wood and the constables and a search is being made for the thief. It is thought by the officers that the break was done by someone in the neighbor- hood who was conversant with the habits of the occupants and who watched his opportunity. WEDDING. Potter-Furness. With only the immediate families attending, the wedding of Sherwood B. Potter and Miss B. Louise Furness took place Thursday evening at six o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Fur- ness of Gardners court. The clergy- man was Rev. L. L. West, D.D., pas- tor of the Second _Congregational chvich, who performed the ceremony befove a bank of palms, ferns and potted plants, using the Episcopal service with ring. The bridal couple was unattended. The floral decora- tions were by Geduldig, and Mabrey catered for the wedding supper after the ceremoi Mr. and Mrs. Potter will be away for ten days or two weeks on a bridal tour and upon their return will reside for a time with the bride's parents. The groom is the well known and suc- cessful proprietor of a grocery store and market on the KEast Side and has been a resident of this city for several years, having formerly resided in Cleveland. LOVING CUPS PRESENTED. One to Superintendent Jennings and One to Chairman Dyer. Supt. Charles B. Jennings of the New London public school entertained the board of school visitors and Mayor Armstrong at his Gales Ferry cottage on Thursday afternoon and evening according to his annual custom. Two of the delightful times of the day came in the presentation of tw loving cups: The first by Dr. John G. Stanton on behaif of the board to Dr. H. H. Dyer, who is chairman of the building committee on the new Har- bor school. This was a silver cup. A Wedgewood cup was presented to Su- perintendent Jennings by Secretary Barry on behalf of the board. 1t was decided to have a public opening of the school on Lahor day, with a reception to the ity officials in the evening.

Krebs, a Westerly baker, died suddenly of heart disease af Pleasant View beach Thursday after- noon avout 4 o'clock just after he had come out of bathing.

Trolleymen Get Half Bushel of Bivalve: at Niantic — Greeneville Party Catches Many Crabs. Starter John Kinney and -Trolley Express Agent B. F. Skinner returned to Norwich at nightfall Thursday laden with the spoils of their clamming ex- pedition at Niantic. The trolleymen had with them nearly a half_bushel of clams to show for their trip. They enjoyed the hospitality of David Akers, who, after showing_ them’ over his spa- clous farm near Niantic, took them out to the clambeds in the Niantic river, where they were successful in finding all they wanted. They had a particularly fine day of it. A party from Greeneyille, W. A. Pitcher, Willlam Casey, John Eflal and James Kirby, had an’ outing at the drawbridge ~Thursday.

MOULTON FINED $35 and Costs for Skipping Willimantic Hotel Bill. In the Willimantic police court on Thursday_morning the case, adjourn- ed from Wednesday, of the state vs. John P. Moulton, formerly of Norwich, came up. Moulton wds in court accused of skipping a $17 board bill at the Hook- er house. The grounds of accusation were set forth by the state. Moul- ton claimed, however, that he both wrote and telephoned to the hotel clerk about the bill. This the clerk de- nied. Moulton was found guilty, and fined $35 and costs, amounting to $30.6! Moulton must also pay the hotel bil or be jailed. A young friend of Moulton's from Norwich was in Wilimantic Thursday and after the sentence had been im- posed returned to this city to try to raise the necessary money. Moulton re. turned to a cell.

Roberjs, former manager of the Hotel Royalton on West Forty-fourth street, was brought here today from North Acton, Mass, where he had been ar- rested on request of the New York authorities. Roberts at first refused to return to New York when the offi- cer went for him, but after being ar- raigned and neld in $10,000 bail, pend- ing the arrival of requisition papers, changed his mind and agreed to come back. Roberts, who is said to belong to a well known family in Chelsea, Mass., would make no statement regarding his case today. He was held in $10,000 bail for a hearing.

DAYVILLE WOMAN IMPROVING. st v Was Rendered Temporarily Insane by Stage Coach’ Accident. Meredith, N. H, Aug, 12.—The con dition_of Edwin F.

It was planned to- day to remove him to the Laconia. hos- pital. Mrs. I L.

Railroads and Thelr Critics. “Railroads and railroad men are bet- ter than thefr critics and have always been s0,” asserts President F. D. Un- derwood uf the Erfe road. It depends entirely what Mr. Underwood mea by rafiroad critics whether his state- ment can be accepted. No reasonable man ever believed the railroads and railroad men were all bad or even incurably incorrigible. No better proof of ‘the justness of many past complaints against the railroad can be offered than the present atti- tude of most of the great railroad men in the country. They would not re- turn to the old conditions of indiscrim- inate rebating and rate cutting if they could, meither would they favor a gen- eral resumption of many other prac- tices which robbed -railroads of their revenue and built up one individual or business at the expense of another. The master railroad minds of America are tollay agreed that regulation by properly constituted public bodies is the only salvation of the railroads, and that they need protection from each other and protection f7 m unrea- sonable demands of the j ople fully from the railroads.—Omaha Bee. Power of the Lobby. OFf all the measures it has been in- terested in the lobby at this session of the general assembly has asserted {tself most forctbly dn the matter of the public utilities” project. With this proposed measure the lobby is -going to: do ome of two things, defeat the projéct entirely by causing disagree- Liouse, a condition which now pre- vails, or-by causing the house to adopt, as the senate has already done, the Barnum draft. We have already expressed an opinion as to the relative nierits of the two measures before the gislature. Merit, however, does not m ‘to be entering into the matter; morgover, the situation seéms to be-a case of ‘the lobby against the people. We have had good cause to compli ment the' lower brahch ‘of the genera! | assembly - for the popular attitude it | has shown in"¢eriyin matters, and we have done so. But like the cow that gave -the full pail_of.milk and then kicked it over, is the present standing of our house’ of representatives. We cannot with propriety conderhn the members of this august assembly if in their wisdom they thought it best to defeat the Chandler bill, go-callel. We can conscientiously criticise them for permitting the vote to be- taken in the manner it was. No legislative body of the people should permit paid lobbyists to work in its meeting room when a’ vote is beha taken. A dis- graceful exhibition of the lobby was made in the house on Thursday after- noon.

Two cabinet officers are coming to Beverly tomorrow, and the old town is excited over the prospects. Secretary Nagel of the departmer* of commerce and labor is coming to take up with the president the matter of the ap- pointment of more than 300 census su- pervisors throughout the land. Post- master General Hitchcock, the patron- age expert of the cabinet, will happen along at the same time and it is not too much to say that he will have an important part in the division of the census_plums. E. Dana Durand, dirpctor of the census, will also be at the patronage feast tomorrow afternoon, and it was said today that Assistant Secretary McHarg of the department of com- merce and labor might be of the party also. The president has had a tent tive list of supervisors before him for several days, but most of the names were “Greek” to him and he. could make little headway by himself. The president has turned over the recom- mendations for census plaCes to the department heads having the matter in charge, with general instruction that the men to be selected sball be of un- questioned ability and fitness for the important offices they are to fill. Mrs. Taft came downtown again to- day. She enjoys her little shopping excursions into the city and as few people recognize her she moves about With few curlous eyes to follow her. A woman who has called twice at the executive offices in an effort to have President Taft grant a pardon to her brother, who Is serving a term in ohe of the feleral prisons, has started much speculation in Beverly, and already has become known as “the mysterious woman in white. It is said that she has been several times at the golf links where the president was playing and has tried to have an interview at the cottage. Secretary Carpenter today sent tel- egrams throughout the United States to every city where President Taft is scheduled to make a stop during his western and southern trip, asking the committees in charge of his entertain- ment to send in the programmes as arranged, at once. President Taft will not be able to go to Panama next year as he intended THE LINCOLN CENT. I second the motion, therefore, for the amendment proposed; and the more readily because I am certaln it will' be more agreeable to the citizens of the United States to see the head of Liberty on their coin than the heads of presidents. However well pleasel they might be with the head. of the great man now their president, they may have no great reason 1o be pleas- ed with some of his successors: as to him, they have his busts, his pictures everywhere; historians are daily cele- brating his fame, and congress has voted him a monument. A further compliment they reed not pay him, especially when it may hs said thaf no republic has paid, such a compli- ment to its chief magistrate; and when indeed it would be viewed by the world as a stamp of royalty on our coins, would wound the feelings of many friends and gratify our enemies. —John Page, representative from Vir- ginia, In the congressional debate on design of coins, March 24, 1792. Therefore, the resolution to stamp the head «f the president upon the country’s cofnage was amended by substituting the head of Liberty, or a figure “emblematic of liberty. ' with an thscription of tWe word liberty.” The reasons assigned by John Page for this ‘provision hold good today. There was no excuse for abolishing the traditional bronze Indian Liberty head on the cent and substituting therefor the medallion head of Lincoln, with the commemorative dates 1309- 1909 and the initials “V. D. B of the artist who executed the rather poor design. It is a medal. and a stupid imiation medal at that, that Js now being circulated by the million as a coin of the United States—New York Times. ABOLISHING THE NEWSPAPERS. Remarks of James H. Mann Which Had Only Democratic Applause. It is easy to say “put up the price of mewspapers.” It is easy to say that the newspapers have no rights, but certainly the readers of the pa- pers have some rights. (Applause on the democratic side). It is easy for some to slur and sneer at the news- paper men, who_are constantly criti- cising us, often unjustly and unfairly, but after all they are doing a great service to the people of this country, and a service which few, either of the thinking or the unthinking, would be willing to part with. Attempt to abolish the newspapers! Try it once. ‘Attempt to greatly increase the price of print paper unnecessarily! You will' try it once, but you will not have an opportunity a second time. (Loud applause on the democratic side).
