MACPHERSON, 101 Main Street THE FUTURE PEOPLE AND ART. Subject of Paper by K. Raisin Before Socialist Party. Before the meoting of the Norwich branch of the soemlist party in their room In the Stead building on Thurs- day evening a paper by K. Raisin upon the subject The Future People and Art formad the basis for an interesting general discussion and informal debate. Mr. Raisin took the ground thet the future people would be able to provide for his family by Mhoring three hours per day and that all would work and none live on the labor of others, as now. Having time to think, the future people would study more of science and nature and hence many beliefs which prevail now wiil disappear. The furure man will be intellectiral and will never bslieve in gods or demi-gods, in kings and queens, in priests and prophets. People will be equal and the family which comes of kings and lords will not be more honored than that which comes of common laborers. Criminale, thieves and murderers, who are the result of jgnoramce and bad environment, will disappear in the fu- ture through the disappearance of ig- norance and poverty. . With this change in conditions and beliefs, > propounded the questioz vhether the farvms f art would not be changed, eongidering thasz art is a product of imagihation tpicer than of reality. He said that art, whether ex- pressed in architecture, poetry, sculp- | ture, painting or musio, was an sxpres- slon of one’s bellefs. But if the pres- ent svatem is changed, art must be changed, the writer argued, and will be combined not with imagination and il- lusion, but with reality. It will work for the benefit and happiness of the people, will creats real things useful for the life of the people, the architect | building houses peopls and mere useful than templ and the present skyecrapers, the pain er and poet painting and describing | harmony and freedom, where they for- néerly deseribed pession and e, Art will he more and mors replaced by sclence, the letter of more benefit to the paople, just as the. inventions of the telegraph, eleotric cars, ships and machinety were of more bensfit than the tempias of Mome, the pictures of Raphael or the peetry of ‘Shakespeare. — e 8 PLUMBERS RETUAN TO WORK.

Congress fixes the population for a congressional district at 211,877. The Connecticut legislature is confronted with the duty of redistricting the state, which now has four district congress- men and one political hybrid, the con- gressman a: large, says the Waterbury American. Our present First district, compris- inz Hartford and Tolland counties, has a population of 276,841. The Second, New Haven and Middle- sex, has 382,919. The Third, New London and Wind- { ham, 139.614. The ourth, Fairfield and Litchfield, One scheme would make a district of New London, Windham, Tolland and Middlesex, which are ('rr tiguous and which have a combined/ population of 211,710. This would leave New Haven and Hartford counties each large enough to constitut~ a district in it- self, but it isn't likely to meet the favor of the republicans in control at Hartford, since it would take away pil- lars of republican support in the First and Second districts to be added to the present Third, which is usually safely republican. When the reapportionment is com- pleted it avill be surprising if the northern part of New Haven county 38 not found to have been taken from the Second district for combination with a part Fifth district. That will make Water- bury the principal town in the Fifth trict and the natural community m which to piclk its first representa- tive. HAILE CLUR DANCE. Forty Couples Attended May Event at Miller's.

Attorney Edmund J. Condon of New London was sentenced to four months in jail and was flned $500 for embez- zlement. In the sentence it was speci- fied that the four months' sentence should be served in the Norwich jail, this being by request. At the opening of court, Condon, who was out under bonds of $1,000, was! presented at the bar and he pleaded m}ty. State Attorney Hull explained e circumsances regarding _ the agreement and said that the case had ‘been carefully canvassed and thor oughly considered. The state attorney said he thought it should be explained that of the $520 only $320 was misap. propriated, the other $200 having been deposited as soon as turned over to Ceondon by Mrs. Ryan. Judge Burpee in passing sentence said that he thought it should be ex- plained that an agreement had been | reached after ' a conference. Judge ' Burpee seid that the sentence he was to inflict was not commensurate with | the offense, but that the fact that a feithful relative would suffer qeually was taken into consideration. Condon took the sentence quietly, The $520 in question was money left Mrs, Ryan by Polly Thornton, a rela- vy It was represented to Mrs. Ryan ! by Condon that this money would be seizeG by the city for the keep at the almshouse of a relative of Mrs. Ryan's | and on this representation the money was turned over ‘to Condon. Disbarment is to follow as a result of these charges. The grievance com- mittee of the Bar association met! Wednesday afternoon and considered ! the case. Attorney John C. Gear: who was Condon’s counsel, is chair- man of that committee, but because of his relation to the case took no part in the coenference. The committee will | in writing, as is the form, recommend to the court the disbarment of the con- victed attorney. Rabbi’s Diverce No Goeod.

It was also voted to accede to the request of the city of Norwich to close a short stretch or road at Stony | brook and to permit Norwich to build | another section in place of the road 8o | condemned. A proposition to close a short piece of road near the C. M. Robertson Co’s mill in Palmertown | and to substitute anotmer plece of road | for it was turned down by the meet- ing. First Selectman Moses Chapman presided. There were about 75 pres- | ent. The resolution empowering the se- lectmen to comstruct the Kitemaug road was proposed by Joseph F. Kil- leen, By the terms of the resolution the selactmen are authorized to issue notices 'calling for estimates on the road and also that the contract shall be let to the lowest substantial bid- der, who must be a resident of Mont- viile. The resolution also contains a | { clause specifying that as far as pos- sible all the labor emploved in the construction shall be hired in the town. On the Stony Brook road matter there was no opposition. This section of road will be built at the expense of the city of Nerwich and is neces- sary in connection with the formation of a new reservoir on the brook. Ac- cording to the specifications prepared for this road, it was stated, the bridges which are to be built will be of other construction than wood, This is cer- tain, but the surveyors are not yet certain whether they will be built of stone or reinforced concrete.

View of the Trouble as Seen in An- sonia, Regarding tho (rouble of the weavers | at the Falls mill, which is now settled, | the Ansonia Sentinel has the following | to say: A curious state of affairs is that which is reported from Norwich, where | a big_cotton mill, usually employing from 500 to 600 hamds,-is reported to | have shut down because of a strike | of weavers who want more pay. That is, while most cotton mills are run- | ning five days a week and seriously | contemplating closing down entirely, | the help in the Norwich mill are sud- | denly seized with dissatisfaction at their usual pay and demand more or none at all. The menagement 6f the mill has given them an opportunity to return at the okl wages, for a fuil week's work, but not enough of them have chosen to do 8o to make it worth while to run the mill. An account in one of the Norwich papers says also that quite a number of the strikers would like to have returned to work, | but wers afraid to do so. And this is apparently the case. Their common sense must tell them that when other cotton mills are running short hours, curtailing production by a considera- bls amount, is a wrong time to demand increased wages. | Evidently in Norwich a few are leading a great many of the employes around by their noses against their will. TLast week when some of the | employes tried to return to the mill to work a riot occurred, stones were thrown, shot were fired, and nine were arrested. Fvidently intimidation is be- ing used in Norwich, the Rose of New England, the heart of a free country. Production has been stopped and men md woren have been coerced into giving up their inalienable right to earn and to support themselves and families. And up in Hartford someons has presentad a bill to the legislature which, if passed, will legalize this sort of nonsense. COUNTY HOMES. Report on Them Given by Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell.

SEVERAL EXCUSED ON THE JURY PANEL. Effort Made to Have Selectmen Use Care in Selection of Those Placed on the List. The noticee which were this week sent out to the selectmen of the towns of this county by Clerk G. E. Parsons of the superior court are aimed to reg- ulate just such trouble as has arisen this week at New London, where sev- eral have beeen excused from jury service because of being a fireman, business or cther cause. The antipathy to jury duty on the part of the average citizen is marked, particularly when the matters to be considered are criminal. Wednesday when the jury panel was called into the court room to get ready for try- ing the cases before the May criminal term of the superior court, Judge Bur- pee announced that a nuiaber of the Jurors had applied to be excused from duty. Judge Burpee excused Henry C. Schwaner of New London, who was exempt because of bein: a fireman; Harold Reynolds of Lyme, because he i& a member of the legislature, and also Andrew B. Parrish of New Lon- don and George Griswold of Old Lyme. These were all excused for the term and I'rsmk W. Brewster of Ledyard was excused for Thursday. Judge Burpee said that he could not at the time excuse any more. panel consisted of 21 men, drawn_ from New London, Groton, Stonington,Mont- ville, Ledyard, Waterford, Lyme, Bast Lyme and Old Lyme.
