With the approach of the spring sea- | son, interest is reviving in the minds | of the local public as to what arrange- ments the Connecticut company and the owners of the Alexander lake prop- crty have made or are likely to make for the use of the pretty locality as a trolley park again this summer. The trolley company has not yet begun the work of replacing the buildings that were destroyed by fire just before the Fourth last year, and the central part of the park, where still stand the trees that perished in the flames, presents a rather forlorn appearance.

STORIES ABOUT WORDS. Modern “orchestras” never revert to | the etymological and historical signifi- | cance “of their name. An “orchestra” | was properly a dancing place—the space between the stage and the audi- | torium, where the anclent Greek chor- {us went through its evolutions. Then, in Roman times, when the chorus had | retired to the stage and finally disap- | peared, the name meant that part of |the house where the senators sat, the | front seat, so that Juvenal even speaks | of the senate as “the orchestra.” And | then, when the d took up its place before the stage, “orchestra” came to | mean what it does today. It is not the only word from which the dancing as- | sociations have vanished. “Chorus” it- elf orfginally meant a dance, and a ‘ballad” was a dance song, “ballare” meaning in late Latin to dance. “In connection with ‘humbug,’ ‘bug- bear’ and ‘goldbug,’ it may be observ— ed,” says the London Chronicle, “that the last has probably no direct sug- gestion of ‘terror’ to the American mind. ‘Bug’ is freely used in Ameri- can for any kind of insect. Our Eng- lish word, however, is directly afliat- ed to the Celtic word, which meant a demon or bogey. It is conjectured that when the objectionable insect became acclimated here,”which was not many | eenturies ago, the terror of its attacks |earned it Its name. We get ‘bug’ in its old sense in Shakespeare—'This Warwick was 2 bug that feared us ail' —and ‘the terror by night' is ‘bugge by nyght' in old Bibles. [ob” is the only one of the abbrevi- ated words protested against by Dean | Swift which has conguered even the purists of speech. - “Incog” is &till short of respectabllity, and “phiz” (phyciognomy) very far so. However, other abbreviated forms have won. A cabriolet is a “cab” to everybody now, | though to Dickens' Mr. Raddle it was |still a “cabrioly.” ‘Miss” for “mis- jano” for “planoforte, ‘sweets” for “sweetmeats” are univer- {sal. Nevertheless many people still | apologize for “bus” instead of “omni bus” and wage a k | “phone” and against “Mashing.” Williun _Collier dropped Into the Lambs_club after the performance and strolled over to the letter box. There were S ral missives addressed to him _but among the lot was a tailor_ bill which he could not aceount for. Upon | mvestization he found the envelope | was not addressed to him. According- |1y, Collier- resealed the envelope and returned it to ghe box for the rightful owner. A few minutes later Collier again passed the letter box, and as he did_so he noticed the member to whom the bill was addressed take possession of it and walk into the reading room. The man read it carefuily and then tore it into shreds, muttering audibly as he threw the tiny bits into the waste basiet: “The dear, sweet girl!"—N. ¥, Tele- as formerly, and the car that formerly left the car house at 6,10 a. m. for Putnam only leaves at 6.30 and runs MYSTIC Fairview Lodge Visits Stanington Lod; Players Lead at Pool ~—Methodist Ladies’ Aid Society En- tortained.

Faunal Naturalist Returns. Mr. Roosevelt has tried his best to emphasize the scientific side of his African journey by saving again and again in his published articles that neither he nor the other members of his party have shot any animal needed for food which could not prop- erly be called a “specimen” and be consndered worthy of _preservation Scorching Criticism. Tn e bitter criticlsm of City Court Judge Mathewson, whom he accuses of over readiness In granting certificates, enabling them to retain their licenses, to men convicted of liquor law viola- tions, the Rev. Francis T. Brown of New Haven thanks God that the judge is not responsible for “the disgracefu! ot | not | record_of the county commissioners. They have been deaf to the piteous appeals of “broken-hearted women and This s doubtless true, but one can- not escape the conviction that Mr. Roosevelt is just a litte bit more of hunter than of a “faunal naturalist, and that he hasn’t been spending his time and his money merely, or even | very largely, for the sake of making | the Smithsonian’s collection of African animals larger and better than that possessed by any other museum in the world. Indeed, he frankly confesses that he has enjoyed himself hugely, and, in spite of the mew but rapidly growinz disfavor with which hunting for sport has come to be regarded, we cannot ourselves see any particular reason why_we should deny the survival in him ‘to a greater degree than in som other people of an instinct and a ca- pacity which bave done as much as any others to malke men the masters of the earth. To nobody except a mor- bid and fanatical few does he need a better excuse than he has for what he has done, and every normal man and boy will envy him the adventures, the riske and_the hardships of this re- markable hunt.—N, Y. Times, weeping childre; writes the minister, “Let them now feel the hot indigna- tion of chivalrous men.” The county commissioners are Jacob Walter of Cheshire, Col. James Geddes of this city and John Wilkinson of Orange. It Is not to be readily conceded that their record “disgraceful,” even though it fails to meet the approval of the Rev. Mr. Brown. It is quite possible that they have never directly encountered any appeals from “broken-hearted women” or ‘“‘weep- ing children.” The Rev. Mr. Brown's letter is suggestive of allegory for | rhetorical effect. But it is unfortunately true that the commissioners’ office is the survival of an ancient systemg grossly unsuited to modern conditions. All laymen, the commissioners have judicial authority in ome of the most important questions a ~ommonwealth must confront. Selected for political ability, rewarded for ical eervice and dependent for continuance in office upon political exigencies, power s giv- en to them to deal with the saloon, ad- mittedly one of the great factors in present ‘@ay political direction. Under such conditions only supermen could escape errors in judgment and occa- sional submission” to improper Influ- ence. The county commission is arch- afe, incompetent and constitutionally incapabie of beneficial service in a problem =o complex that the Connecti- cut judiciary, known nationally for probity and ability, i= none too well qualified for its adjudication.—Water- bury American.

That was the time of the siege of Vicksburg, During nearly all that slege General Grant accompanied his father, and ac< tually did some nlitary service, al though it was voluntary. It was se vice that might have been iruposed upon £ boy of 14 years of age. He | confesses to a sentimental reason fou | desiring to be qualified as a member of the Grand Army. And the pass~ age of the Hull bill will enable thay to be done, Gen, Grant has been within a year or two not a little astonished and very much interested to learn that the Am. erican public reads or hears eagerly any aneodote, which throws a slde« light upon thé character of his fath« er. For instance, General Grant said the other day that at a Lincoin me-< morial meeting a year ago he made @ brief speech in which he spoke inci< dentally and anecdotally of the firsk meeting between General Grant and President Lincoln. The anecdote was incidentally told and very briefly To General Grant's astonishment it was widely circulated in the newspaper press, so that there came many invi- tations to him to deliver addresses teiling of Incidents in the'career of his father, and especially those whici set President Lincoln and General Grant in contrast or association. Many offers came to him, one very persistently from a Boston publication, that he tell these stories in narrative form. And from that first inoidental allusion to the meeting between hism father and President Lincoln there me such demands for addresses tha§ jeneral Grant has spoken many times, not for any fee delivéring on ad dress at Grand Rapids, Mich, befo; an audience of 3,000, In these days o his matured manhood he recalls many incidents of the dowmestic 1ife and of the career of ‘hia father which had | been_forgotten, until it was apparent that the public would gladly listen to or read anything which relates to the career of General Grant.—From New York Letter to Philadelphis Publie Ledger.
