Hero worship could not well go fur- ther, especlally in the case of an able and influential man, than it did when Gov. Hay of Washington said in intro- Jucing the president at Spokane: “We Hke Taft because Roosevelt liked him.” That was more of a compli- ment for the former than for the pres- ent president. en a man gets where he has to take his likes and dislikes at second hand he becomes a lttle too much of an imitator to com- mand respect. If Mr. Taft has lik- able qualities they should be appar- ent to otherw as well as to Mr. Roose— velt, and others should like him whether Mr. Roosevelt does or not. Free and independent Americans should not surrenier their self-rospect 8o far as to smeeze or wink or cough whenever Mr. Roosevelt does. This may be said without detracting from any.of his merits or achievements.— Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Mr. Roosevelt had no sense of law.

CHAPMAN, septlodaw BATH STREET. | practical test wil ' of the Answered by Major General the Militiamen were New York, Oct. 7.=~The critics of the Joint manoeuvres of the regular army and the cational guard, who have peen predicting that the Boston campaign of the past summer will be ‘the last of such joint operations because ti hardship and suffering of the militi men were all out of proportion to the lessons learned, were answered today by Major General Leonard Wood, com- manding the department of the east. Statements Have No Foundations in Fact. . General Wood had paid no atten- tion to criticisms until the publication of despatches from Washington yes- terday to the effect that while forces which now “guide the war department have their way, there will be no repe- tition of joint manouevres on such a | scale as took place in the defense of Boston this After reading these despatches, General Wood sal “The statement purporting to come from some one connected with the war Cepartment relating to the hard- ship and suffering of the men ehgaged in the manoeuvres in Massachusetts has no foundation in fact. The amount of sickness was extraordinari- ly amall. General Pew’s Report. “The report of Gen. William A. Pew, commanding the Blue division, which has just reached me, says: ‘The health of the men during the week under un- usually severe weather conditions was excellent. In the entire division there were under 100 cases treated, and these were mostly minor injuries, sore feet and the like. — Other Reports. “The report of Major J. B. McCook, chief surgeon of the Connecticut brig- ade of the Red army, which has also just reached me, says in regard to the health of the men: ‘There was almost no sickness and few accidents and what we had as a rule amounted to nothing.’ “There are other reports which I have not received, but from,personal information 1 know that thé general health of all the troops was excellent. Health of Men Was Excellent. “Further than that,” General Wood continued, “I observed the excellent heaith of the men myseif. I was around the lines at least once a day and I consider it remarkable. The regular army officers had many fears for the health of the militiamen at conard Wood—None of to Fall Sick and Di the opéhing of the. the two days of cold ‘fears increased. 1. showing remarkable, s “In .the Blue division, there were about 5,600 men, and General Pew re- ports less than 100 cases of sickncss. There was but one death, and that was due to an operation for appendi- citls after the manoeuvres wera clused and I do not know that it cduil be traced to the campaign. % There Were No Hardships. “It is not true to say that the hard- ships were all out of proportion to the lessons learned. In the first place, there were no hardships. No com- plaint has come from the men of offi- cers, There were possibly five ner cent. of the militiamen dissatisfled with the manoeuvres, and they were proportion whi would vnrefer life in a camp, Invaluable Lessons Learned. “On the other hand, the lessons learned were invaluable. One of them is that we have not enough regulars or militiamen ready for mobilization ! to defend a city against such an at- tack as was made against Boston. The other is that it builds up the spirit of co-operation betwen the regular army and the national guard. Total Cost Under $100,000. “The total cost of the whole cam- paign with all its incidental expenses has been under $100,000. The manoeu- vre fund even pald for the transports and their pilots. I know of no way I can better illustrate the exemplary conduct of all the men than to say that with the 12,000 troops engaged, the total expenditure for rentals and damages has been only $2,000. Frankly, I expected it would be near. er $15,000. The conduct of all th men was unusual, Truth of This Matter Should Be Known. “The truth of this matter should be known in justice to the men and the public. It is not fair to let the im- pression go abroad that the militia- men were allowed to fall sick and die while learning the war game, because it is a flat untruth.” i General Wood’s report has not yet been sent to the war department. The reports’ of all the commanders engazed have not yet been received at Govern- ors Island and General Wood's report cannot be made until they are all in. — CENSUS ENUMERATORS. Two Special Tests Designed for Con- necticut Applicants. There will be two separate tests for census enumerators in filing the schedules, desigged for special agents of classes 1 and 2, respectively. Any applicant may take either alone, or both, and failure to successfully pass the fest of class 1 will not necessarily preclude eligibility for appointment in class 2. The test for special agents of class 1 will consist principally of the filling out of a sample schedule from the details given in a typical balance sheet | and income account, supplemented by other data in tabulated form necessary to_complete the schedule. The test for special agents of class 2 will consist mainly of the filling out of a schedule from a simple narrative statement of facts relative to a man- ufacturing establishment, in which statement will appear all the figures and facts necessary to the completion of the schedule. At least several days prior to the test each candidate will be furnished a copy of the schedule and a set of printed instructions regarding the method of filling them in. d The papers prepared by the candi- dates in these tests will be graded and a perfect mark will be represent 50 points of a scale of 100 in determin- ing the final grade of a candidate. The grading of the remaining 50 points will depend upon the evidence of the candidate’s previous _experience as shown on his application blank. All applicants who receive a combined rating of 70 will be placed on the eligible list. There will be no geographical ap- portionment ‘of appointments as such. It will he the policy, however, as far as practicable, to assign appointees to Quty in the localities in which they reside, and it therefore follows that the number of agents to be appointed from a given state or locality will de- pend larsely ypon the amount of work to be done in that state or locality.

The experiment of placing dogs on board the obsolete French warship Jena the other day before battering her with projectiles was cruef; neverthe- less, we should remember that we were once guilty of a very simillar case. This was in 1872, when sheep and goats were shut up in the turret of H. M. 8. Glatton. which was then pounded by the Hotspur with her guns. The turret was not pierc- ed, while the animals it contained were found at the conclusion of the bam- bardment to be uninjured and appar- ently quite unconcerned. Their experi- ence therefore was a pleasant one compared with that undergone by the dogs in the Jena, most of whom were either purned to death or asphyxiated, while those that escaped alive were [S mad by terror.—London Chron- Falls Heir to $20,000.

Thomas Bassett died about a year and a half ago, leaving all his money, $20,000, to Kis daughter, Sophia Louise DBassett, a young girl.

A law that has done more than any- thing else toward cleaning up some of the low groggeries in this city that catered especially-to women and their escorts was the one that became effec- tive two vears ago, whereby women were forbidden to loiter in licensed drinking places. Singe that time nu- merous arrests have been made for violations of the law, and the result has been a greatly improved condi- tion of affairs in places that previous- ly had been disgracefully conducted. So far as known there is at present no saloon in Danbury where women loiter about the back rooms, and rob- beries and thefts in such places, which once were frequent, are now almost unknown. Hitherto the women themselves have heen obliged to bear all the pun- ishment if caught idling in a drinking place, but by a new law that went in- to effect yesterday the proprietors and bartenders of saloons are made re- sponsible for any infraction of the law. The new law is similar to the’one that prohibits minors from loitermg in sa- loons and the permits who permits such loitering is liable to severe pun- ishment. HITS SOME HOTELS HARD. New Law Requires Licenses for the Full Year. Some of tke hotels and rcad ho‘? that do thelr principal business ing the summer months wiil be hard hit by the new liquor law which has just gome into effect. There are se eral places on the outskirts of Dan- bury that heretofore have taken out licenses for the summer season only. but under the uew law that practice must cease and the hotels must be li- censed for the whole year or not at all. Under the new law, which decrees that there shall be oniy one saloon to each five hundred of population, a li- cense taken out for half the year and then dropped would be construed as a new license if asked for after an in- terval of five or six months, and un- less the number of saloons in the town should be below the legal ratio,-no new licenses could be granted. Con- sequently the proprietors of the road houses and inns will be obliged to pay the full license fee. COLLECTED A MILLION. Middletown Got More Than Was Due From Collector W. B. Senglaub. Auditor Schaefer, representing the company that furnished the bonds for Tax Collector Senglaub, has completed his audit of all the accounts \of the tax collector during his thirteen years of ‘office. He took the city ,town and school district taxes in their order, and then finished up with the collec- tion of the street eprinkling assess- ments. The accounts show that dur- ing his term of office Mr. .Senglaub | has collected about one million dollars an. that the city, town and city school district has got every penny due to them. To be strictly correct. Mr. Sen- glaub has turned over in his thirteen vears as tax collector a little more than $8 in excess of what his books called for. Auditor Schaefer express- ed his admiration for the tax collec- tor when he got through .with his work.—Middletown Press. GIFT ACCEPTED. Bethel Borough Meeting Acts on Miss Parloa's Bequest. At the special borough meeting held in the town hall, Bethel, Monday eve- ning, Warden C. R. Morse presided. That portion of the will of the late Miss ‘Parloa, which related to the be- quests left to the borough of Bethel, was read, and it was voted to accept the same. In the name of the bor- ough, the warden accepted the gifts. Howard H. Woodman announced that the executor of Miss Parloa’s estate, William V. Alexander of Philadelphia, was desirous of presenting the bor- ough with certain pieces of furniture, which would be useful in a Ifbrary room; and these aiso were accepted. Stamford Merchants Fined. Two Stamford merchants were con- victed of selling renovated butter not marked according to the law, and were heavily fined. last week. The prosecutions, were instituted by the state dairy commissioner. These are not the first offences by Stamford merchants. - A short time ago three others’' were convicted of similar of- fences and fined.
