The charge brought against a liquor degler who applied for a license at Branford, to prevent his getting & re- newal of his license was that he did not sell liguor of a good quality, but the county commissioners called at- tention to the attorney making the charge that it was not within their province to pass upon the quality of the liquer sold, hence that the grounds | ‘were not’ tenable. The New Haven Union, in comment- ing upon the case, says: “There are many citisens in New Haven who believe that they have the they violate no law in deing so, who also believe that saloonkeepers gener- ally should be forced to sell the best quality and highest grade of liquors. “As it is now, every class of trades- who sells articles for human con- sumption is strictly held to the letter of the health laws regarding the pur- ity of his goods, with the single ex- on of the liquor dealer. 'Tho saloonkeeper is practically at Iiberty to sell any kind of wood alco- hel, bensine, or gasoline, as he may mee fit, under any sort of a nom de plume he may select. There may be laws governing the saloonkeeper on this subject, but the county commis- sloners frankly admit that they have never heard of them. “There are many citisens who be- lieve that a movement to secure the retalling of none but the purest liquors by all saloonkeepers, with a heavy penalty for any violation, such as they have in all European countries, would strike a happy medium between prohibition and total abstinence move- ments, and those saloonkeepers who believe it is their right to poison the populace with vile liquors. “President Walter of the county commissioners admitted today that the commissioners had no authority in this matter, being solely concerned with sul! of person and place. “‘1 _mever have occasion to take a drink, explained Commissioner Wal- ter, “but’ it would undoubtedly be a step forward It a pure liquor law was strictly enforced. From my viewpoint all are bad enough, but the poorer grades are infinitely worse than those of the better class naturally so far as the harm they de. There has on several occasions been several move- i laws, but somehow they have never been put through.'" AN AUTHORITATIVE OPINION. Michael E. Murphy, physical in- structor at Yale and later et the um- versity of Pennsylvania, does not hesi- tate to fix the responsibility for foot- ball fatalities. He is quoted as hav- ing sald: “If a man is physically unable to play the game, either through lack of condition or injuries, he is almost no better than no man at all If T had my choice of starting a cham- pionship game with an injured ‘star’ or A physlcally sound athlete of only moderate abllity, I would take the latter every time and would stand twice as good a chance of winning. This puts the respensibility for a grave fault up to the trainers and coaches, and arraigns them for poor Jjudgment, which in effect is gross in- efficlency. This may answer for part of it, and the brutal spirit of the play- ers answers for the rest. Thete is no other game or physical contest where the brute force of a squad is allowed to be freely used to do up a “star.” Kl‘lz\n‘ players with heavy hoots, hing them with the fist and jumps ing on them and by weight crushing them to earth and breaking their ‘pnes adds flerceness but no honer to the game. Massachusetts had a legislator in 1908 who was 97, and he survived the trials of a legislator's life and is now smiling at 103, because the Massachu- setts legislature never had an oider representative. The conflagration that’ occurred thirty-seven years ago tonight, said Waednasday's Boston Transcript, would have been “Baston's big fire,” had it not been for the bigger one that raged all the previeus night. When Senator Cummins says that he wants te make the republican par- ty sueh a party as he will feel proud te hand down to his children, he is fovecasting quite a job. By the use of meters Cleveland re- dpesd its per capita use of water 73 sssessssesassesssssssssesseseasennasd | | | { | | travel on the ‘business men vpmd‘: Continuation school, to make up by training t)u inefficiency which everywhere marks the apprentice system in this country. How it operates s thus explained: “A machine, shop boy, working under .a four - years’ contract, goes to this school one day in a week, his pay a the factory going on as if he were §till at the bench. He is taught the broad principles of his trade} draught- ing and mathematics, is shown how theory and practice can be brought into harmony and is made familiar with technical literature.” The result of this work is expected to be fts begt recommendation. It is declared by those who support it, that “these voungsters will be neither mere speciali in one line of their trade nor the half-baked workmen that are permitted to call themselves™ crafis- men, of which there are too many in this country.” The plan seems to be feasible and there appears to be no reason why it should not operate well for apprentices and eventually well for the public. THE NEW SAFETY CAR. The \steel passenger coach latest and th; best invention for the protec- tion of: passengers in case of acci- dent. In an accident which occurred at Jersey City last week to a train made up of steel passenger coaches, not a fatality occurred, for not a passenger was crushed to death un- | der wooden beams or cremated in any roaring pyre such as many a wrecked assenger train.of wooden coaches has me. The steel passenger coach gives as- surance of the best chance to escape injury to passengers and to reduce to 2 minimum the death toll which the American railways exhibit every year as the result of accidents in all parts of the country. If the railways regard these coaches as a néw economy to them in the operation of their roads they will rapidly be multiplied; and should they not take to the better and safer equipment the public should in- sist that they move to prevent the dangers and waste of life which the old wooden cars have proven to be ca- ‘pable of furthering. DO NOT HAVE A GOOD TIME. The New Britain Herald does not agree with the public speaker who gave the opinion that the tramp doesn’t suicide because he has too good a time. The Herald pictures this pariah of civilized life as continually plodding from+one town to another, getting a meal here and there and be- ing driven from yards and farms by men and dogs, suffering from the cold in winter and oftentimes from hun- ger, having anything but a good time. In fact, his wanderlust and railway tracks—‘“the fool's highway”—puts him in constant peril and he dies a victim much often- er than the public imagines,” It shows that last year of the number of tramps killed on the Pennsylvania railroad, that on that one line alone 657 men, mostly tramps, had lost their lives. In- vestigation was made at request of a charity organization and the results were astonishing, the number being much greater than any one supposed. This suggests, says The Herald, that if the inquiry was extended to all railroads and trolley lines in the coun- try the number killed would be found to be appalling. In conclusion it finds that “the tramps become so destitute, so far removed from any hope of success in the world and ostracised by every one that they have no ambition, and even when illness overtakes them and they are removed to some place of shelter it is to die without making known their identity, where théy came from, or if they have any friends. There is something pathetic in the whole thing, after all, and the.tramp must feel re- lieved when the end is in sight and his distress is at an end. - 'EDITORIAL NOTES. It is always safe to tell a young man that his handsome baby must be the exact picture of its mother. Happy thought for today: It is the man who snores who says he does not dare to go to meeting. The fact that the diarles for 1910 are out, leaves no doubt that the old year is rapidly approaching its close. This kind of an Indian summer could continue more than nine days without any protests being raised. Every busybody is wondering now if | Mrs. Astor will be able, with her ten ments in the legislature to enact such | millions, to get a faithful husband. The drygoods men of New England have combined to operate against the schedules of the new tariff which they disapprova. When a man is elected to qffice, he is surprised when the men of influ- ence begin to appear and give him a lot of free qdvice.

The skilled players selected from the minor bascball leagues by the national leagues this vear have cost them a third of a million.” Good players come high.

It reminds me of sunbeams playing on buried treasure in' the depths of the deep green sea.’” “You never saw lnch an impossible combination!™ “Well, it's like the sun u:d ‘the sea, anyway, and I love the sea” declared Betty on the defensive, shifting the stone about to catch the fudnlun‘ lights reflected from its “It it's like the sea, whl.u that's why I never cared for the gem. You know I hate and fear the ocean.” Bett(y bad heard rumors of a u.flor Jover some years younger than Aunt Horcnce and whom she had jilted for ~man more suited to her years and !emperlmeut. Betty had many times fished for her sunt's confidence on_this interesting detail of her life. Here was .an opportune moment ‘to try again. “Uncle Tom was a sea captain,” she ventured, turning to the mirror. and trying the effect of the gem against her bright hair, “T shouldn't think you would, have married him if you dis- liked the ocean.” “He gave up the sea soon after we were married, as he promised me. It was on his last trip that he became possessed of the black opal. The jewel was then practically unknown in ‘the market, and it is rare even now." “Is it a story?” askeg Betty, match- ing the opal to her wonderful eyes. “Not much of a one” smiled her aunt. “His ship was lying at a port in Australia when a young fellow climbed over the side and gave the signal of distresg of the secret order to which your uncle belonged. The man was an American, young and handsome, and your uncle let him hide on board till nightfall. When he left he cut this jewel from a necklace of smaller ones and pressed it upon your uncle. That night search was made on your Uncle Tom’s ship for the young man, who proved to be a deserter from the crew of a notoriously cruel captain, and vour uncle never regretted helping in the escape.” “How exciting! Tell me some more about the sailor. Where on earth did he get the necklace? I wish he'd giv- en the whole thing to Ungle Tom!’ Aunt Florence wore adf inscrutable look that further piqued the curiosity of her young listener. “Was the sailor very handsome?” she encouraged. “Very. Dark and tall and powerful, and while he was cutting the opal from its setting your uncle noticed a small green anchor tattooed upon his right wris “How interesting!” said Betty. might trace him by that.” Her aunt continued: ‘T once knew a sailor, tall and handsome, with a green anchor tattooed om his right wrist; one who would be just lawless enough to run away and just reckless enough to spend his last cent upon a bauble, and generous enough to be- stow his most valuable possession up- on one who did him {‘ kindness.. But there are probably Hundreds of just such sailors with small green anchors pricked in their wrists. Now, run along with vour opal. I was intending to give it to you in my will, but I'd “We “Nonsense!” laughed Aunt Florence.| ant sane her | o “gma Council BJ gleaming on_ her lyo: eyes followed her as she and hetnplr- lood ‘breeding pé: seat and lehurely followed.

His handsome face was dee, ly bronzed by exposure to (he. weat! er, and although but about ‘8 old his black hair was sprinkled with silver. Before ed the door he met Betty nmrnlu Every vestige of color had left h face. "My opal!” she gasped, meeting his look of inquiry. “My black opal.” He followed her to her table and stooping, picked up the pendant from the carpet. As he did so his cuff drew up fro.n his wrist and Betty gazed with | fascinated, eyes at a small, green an- chor tatooed there. Her friends were close behind her. “Why. Capatin Hartwell, I thought you wcre in Bgypt.” “So 1 was,” answered the stranger, you know, I never stay long in one place.” In a few days Betty received an in- vitation to join a party for a cruise in the Mediterranean in Captain Hart- well's steam yacht. One magical, moonlight evening Bet- ty and the captain were gittting on deck, slight apart from the others. “I am interested in that opal of yours,” he was saying. “It is a gem that has peculiar fascination for me. 1 am so bewitched by its beauty that I carry this about with me” and he drew from his pocket something that gleameéd in the monlight, “Oh!” exclaimed ~Betty, “the sailor dd‘\: give away the necklace after| all™ At last I've found the rest of the ‘story.” i Then she told him the tale her aunt had related to her;_and the man mar- velled at thé strongeness of fate. “T gave practically my last dollar for the | stones in that necklace,” he sald. “A miner needed money to esecape an un- pleasantuess in Australia, and I ac- commodated him. I had them set in'a necklace for a lady with whom I fan- ! cled myself in love, but she had the ! kindness and good sense to throw me | over. You know who the lady was, I learned before long that I had a rare treasure in the necklace, and though many times tempted to sell it I couldn’t part with it. I think I must have been saving it for the woman T hope to make my wife.” Betty felt his eyes upon her face, and she hoped that in the subdued light he did not see the conscious color that irresistibly rose to her cheek. ‘Within a year Betty's pendant was restored to its original setting. And “the rest of the story” was per- fectly satisfactory to both Betty and the sailor.—Boston Post. lly N S S AU 1 2% R STy S S el LS LR P S ST S 58 WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. What is the Use?

Mary Garden, the actress, who re- cently contemptuously referred to the Uniited States as “a railway station,” a mere stepping stone to her future greatness, has had to come back to God's country to get what she wanted most, and what she couldn’t find any- where else—a husband. She is even so careful about him, moreover, that she won't tell his name. -Brldgeport Post. Not Done Far' An exchange says: “Is Tammany done for?" No, indeed. The old tiger will undoubtedly continue to do busi- ness at the old stand, and perhaps will continue to have a say and a vote about things generally in and around the big city. “We imagine that. it will take more than one defeat to side- track Tammany.—Waterbury Demo- crat, The Danish Experts. Rear Admiral Schley, who command- ed the Greely relief expedition and is an authority on Arctic exploration, says that he does not wish to criticise the action of the National Geographic society, but he adds that the Danish experts are “by far the most compe- tent of any in the world.” Quite as severe as any criticism could bhaye been is his remark that “what they do not know about polar exploration and examipation of polar records no one can presume to tell them.”! This is humiliating, of course, to that cheap patriotism which holds on general principles that Americans must nec- | essarily have more intelligence than foreigners in regard to everything. But it must be remembered through their Greenland colonies the Danes have a direct interest in the Arctic which we lack, and as Admiral Schley said in his interview Friday, members of the Roval Geographical society spend practically their lives at this sort of work. So far as he is concerned, he says, the verdict of the Danes on Dr. Cook’s records will ‘be final, and he adds emphatically: “I would rather have their indorsement than the indorsement of any other geo- graphical society. In fast, I would rather have their indorsement than the indorsement of all the other geo- graphical socleties put together.” Where does this leave the naive pro- posal to have the unsophisticated Danes supervised by Americans? The most humerous and humiliating fea- ture of the polar controversy has been the readiness to indict a nation—on the bare suspicion that it might favor Cook, Partisanship could hardly go further than that.—Springfield Repub- lican.
