LESLIE HOPKINS City Clerk ARTHUR G, CROWELL Water Commissioner ALBERT S. COMSTOCK City Sheriffs GEORGE O. BENSON GEORGE W. ROUSE S — A GOOD EXAMPLE. The mayor calls attention to the fd#ct that the city of Neorwich has busied itself the past year in repairing and putting into first class shape all of the walks abutting its property; and them very properly ealls attention to the execrable condition of private walks, and if he did not express the hope that the civic pride of the own- ers would prempt them to go and do likewise, he doubtless thought that a hint would be Detter than a kick in calling attention to an undeniable duty of gepd citizenship, Thers is nothing that gives a city a peorer mame than neglected side- walks, and there is a good advertise- ment for any place In clean and level walks. Where negligence of this kind prevails as a rule ne amount of com- munal advertising can overcome its efféot. There are too many neglected walks in “the Rege of New Englan and they de not help the sale of the prop. erty when it is in the market, or aid the tewn in keeping property values up. - othing makes a street more invit- ing than good walks and nothing speaks mere pladnly for the character and enterprise of the owners of the property thereon. The Bulletin hopaes private owners of property will follow the good ex- ample set them by the city. THE WORK OF GENERAL LYON In this day of 50th anniversaries in all parts of the country there has net been one of mere interest to the people of eastern Connecticut than the recent celebration at St. Louis of the fiftieth anniversary of the cap- ture of Camp Jackson in Missouri by unien forces under the cemmand of our brave, able and much lamented Gen. Nathaniel Lyen, whose splendid work im the beginning of the great contest between north and south nip- ped rebellion in Missouri in the bud and helped greatly to hold Missouri in the union. The New Haven Journal-Courier, neting it as an event of espacial in- terest te the people of this entire “It was struck for the union in the intensely trying days following the surrender of the first aggressive blow Fort Sumter, The state had veoted unanimeusly against secession, but its gevernor, Claiberne Jackson, was a rark secessionist, and made a deter- mined and bold attempt to wheel the state inte secession by assembling z body of state troops and stationing skirts of St. Leui intending to use skirts of St. Louis, intendeding to use them to overawe union sentiment in that city . But Lyon, assisted by Francis P. Blair, Jr, assembled some regulars and volunteers, surprised the camp and compelled the surrender o1 its garrison and the flight of Governor Jeckson General Lyon occupied the state capital and drove the secession- fat forces to the Arkansas borden where he lost his life on August 19 in the desperate battle of Wilson's Creek: Lyon's prompt and brave worl sent a thrill of joy over the loyal north and net only stiffened up the wavering Missouri unionists but heiped union sentiment all over thc country. “A brave soldier, a staunch patriot, and a man of high aims and ideal: fell in the death of Lyen. He 1S one of our ConnecMcut sons whose name is imperishably enrolled on our little state’s roll of eminent patriotic scldier dead A WOMAN PARK COMMISSIONER Hartford has a weman park com- missioner, and in this is keeping step with the spirit of the times. There are able womén in every community whe co serve the public well on school boards, park commissions, and wherever good taste, order and prog- ress are the watchword Commenting upon the appointment, The Courant says: 5 “Mrs. Appleton R. Hillyer is and for years has been actively interested in just such work for the public wel- fare as the park board is sapposed to carry on. Moreover, she is the daugh- ter of Rev. Dr. Herace Bushnell, whose foresight and public spirit secured for use the park which now bears his nama and which has been the nuclens and inspiratien of our now magnificent park system. The appropriateness of the selection Is obvious and when Mrs Hiliyer was informed of the unanimity with which the board chose her she consented (and no doubt with a great deal of personal gratification).to join in conducting the work which her hon. ored father inaugurated.” Women street commissioners have made a record for doing the very best kind of work; and with the progres- sive spirit being shown in Norwict it is not teo muth to hope that some of our able women may in time be recognized’ as worthy public service and honer. -t b The Ohio legislaturs, having turned the clock back is notified that it was never knewn to de that on pay day. Tt i= questioned now whether the graduating dress or the essay is wor- rying the sweebrgirl graduate most, increasing her population and her in- dustries and her output and inviting railroad development, she will get on the map in an envious light. Just being on the map is noét enmough for live citizens; but having a state on the map for all it is worth, and to have it look important and still grow- ing, the people must be active along lines of development which know no hold-up for ages. i Connecticut needs men who make it their aim in life to “put Connecticut on the map,” not as a plot en the con- tinent abutting Long Island sound and gloewing with scarlet ink, but &s a state of ability, activity. and ‘increas. ing industries, a state first celebrated for the integrity of its citizens and next for a spirit of industry and prog- ress which will not only make it dis- tinctive when seen on the map, but make it recognized as being great all the time. “Let's put Vermont on the map,” said Mr. Burns, and the people are catching the spirit of the phrase. This is what the beomers of New England goods are trying to de for the industries of these six states—to get them all on the map in a different light. The men whoe do things recegnize the necessity for keeping a state on the map in the right light all the time. TO MAKE SAP DISTASTEFUL. A writer to the New York Times discloses the way tree pests were foiled in old times; and if it worked then there is no reason why it should not work now. This writer tells how his father, an. old-fashioned farmer, foiled the pests which threatened to ruin his tree. He bored a hole with an inch auger, fou inches deep into the tree trumk, stuf- fed it full of sulphur, corked it up and the sap of the tree ascending car- ried the sulphur into the topmost pranch and leaf. The pests did noi like the sulphur and were driven from the trees in three days. This looky| easy. It might be well to try the remedy upon a tree. If it worked well what could the more commend itself to a city tree warden for efficiency and economy ” EDITORIAL NOTES. The person who sayvs hLe doesn’t care often cares mere than you think. This is the way he has of bluffing you. ‘Where there is a will there is a way, is not figured out in the eid- fashioned way by the relatives of the rich.

Such a device ought séon to become general. President Diaz is reputed to be worth $20,000,0809, which is an assur- ance that the cold world will have a warm hand fer him. Since selling liquor on Sunday has beconle a matter of roems and not of principles in Connecticut, what are you soing to do about it? The high trelley car step has had much to do with discouraging the wearing of hobble skirts. They were not designed to climb in. ‘The western papers feel sure that there is no danger that Uncle Jim Wil- son of the agricultural department will resign until after the harvest. Happy thought for today: The girls who take comfort in the hammock while mother is at the washtub cannot be regarded as model daughters. The reopening of the Lorimer case does not appear to affect the men most interested seriously; but they are doubtless suffering interior sweats. Mrs. zabeth Smith Miller design- ed and wore the first bloomers; and the name of Mrs. Bloomer was given them because it geemed te fit them best. The Rev.

It scemed ages be- fore the bri>f overture was conclud- ed, but at last tne music cue came. Grantley pusted the buiton, up in the fly gallery a light blazed, and the villagers, suddenly awakening to song. drowned the screech or the n rings against the wire guide ropes. The dress rchearsal of “The Peasant #nd Poet” had besun. Cardine, the stage manager, had suc_ cumbed o a lunch of iced watermelon washed down with milk, and was in bed with a physician in close attend- ance, so Grantley, the author of the piece, had to take charge of the stage. After long rehearsals, with the lines mononotously rattled off, the dialogte that had once seemed so crisp and bright t» him was flat and stale and the songs dragged miserably ~upon ears grown sick of the jingles. From the d‘m auditorium came no hint of approbation or displeasure. The few persons detting the blue plush surface sat silent and uprespomsive. Grantley was unable to see evem their faces. It was his_ first opera. For flve wecks h2 pad worked ccnstantly to help Cardine infuse some spirit into the stupid chorus and the uninterestel principals. Edith Blessing, the comedy oid wo- man, completely spoiled his best scene beiween herself and the comedian, and Grantley clenched the =cenery heside which he was standing until his fin- forced their way through the stout canvas. In the wings the chorus was gathering to rush upon the stage at the conclusion c¢f the scene, and Blanche Mayland. the soulrette, came up heside him to wait for her entrance.

Grantley watched her cur she ran about. For the first t was consriot something more to him than one of the characters in the piece. Ip hor make-up she was little like the rather demure voung woinan of the rehearsal hall, but he looked below the grease paint now and re- called her as she really was. Her as- suranece had given him new heart. He got the curtain down quickly to cover the confusion, and as Miss May- land left the stage, she came into the wing where he stood instead of hur. CAPITOL CHATTER Little Sidelights on Legislators and Legislation The federal relations committee has submitted a divided report on the re olution requesting congress to -pro- pose an amendment to the constitution for election of United States senators by the people, the majority report be- ing in favor. Senator Hammond of Putnam as a souvenir of his having rounded out threescorz and ten years of usefulness, will distribute phetographs of himseif to the members of the senate today (Friday). In the identical form in which it came from the house last week, the senate on Thursday passed the auto- mobile bill. Much debate was heard on the matter, but all of the several amendmente aifixed in the lower branch of the general assembly were finally adopted and a preposed amend. ment, allowirg 16-year-old drivers to be licensed (0 run private cars, re- jected. “The joke of passing a woman’s suffrage bill in the house or the senate at every session in the hope that the one that gets it last will kill it, won't last forever,” remarked a prominent member of the house Thursday. “Some day this beautiful joke will develop into a reality.” ' Regresentative Hall of Willington, one of the wealthiest members of the genersl assembly, is going (o have a birthddy party over at the Hartford club in the near future. He has sent out some invitations for the dinner. The invitations say that those who come in glad rags will be lonesome and that those who come late will get only bones. Norwich men would have extended their sympathy if they had sat in the hall of the house Thursday and lis- tened to the pleas for additional city water rights that were made in be. half of New Britain. There’s another Connecticut cily that has been and is up against a predicament similar to what tha Rcse of Naw England has a housekeeper. walues. | That is pretty good evidence of a woman’s qualifications as It shows that she knows For it is a fact that Lenox Soap is good value—it is cheap rying off to a miore convenient en- || trance to her dressing rcom. “You mustn't mind a that,” she said, as she came up to Grantley. “It's better to have it hap- per now than tomorrow. You can the girls for tomorrow morning and get it straightened out.” y “That's what I'm going to _do,”~ he said, with a faint smile. “Don’t worry about me. I shan’t go (o pieces —now. You steadied me wonderfully.” ‘Dor:'t hang around after the re- hearsal,” she counseled. “Cet away quickly. Get something to eat and then go yme to bed and forget alll| abcut the ~show until tomerrow.” “Will vou have supper with me?” he demanded. “You are the only one who seems to care, and—it would help me a lot.” “I will, if you don’t wait aro fiere untii T am dressed,” she promised. “If vou wait for me, everybody will teli you what should be done to the piece and,they will drive you crazy. Go ovet to Mac’s and Tl jein you there.” ‘When the end eof the act came and the last sigual had tecn flashed to the men in the fiy gallery, Grantley called the renearsal in the morning, and siipped through the door leading to_the auditorium. Benson, the manager, made a few suggesticns for changes, and ten min- utes later Grantley: was sitting in the restaurgnt awaiting Miss Mayland. “I saw Benson on the way out,” she said, with a smile. “He thinks it will be a great hit.” “Thanks to you,” he answered grate_ fully. saw you hold Floyd up in yvour scene with. him. - He had forgot- ten his es completely.” “Poor Floyd,” she said with a rem- iniscent smile. “He never wiil know his lines, But it éid go well, though, didn't it?” “I haven't the slifhtest idea how it locks,” he said, frankly. “It was most- 1y a blur of people moving about the stage and putcherinz lines and busi- ness. I have only one sharply defined recollaction—that of you steadying me dewn.” “Nonsense,” she denied, with laugh, “yeu cnly necded a word.” “But there was no one to give me that word urtil you came,” he insist_ ed. “I think I shoul¢ nave been crazy by now.” “It's trying,” she admitted, “but it's not as bad as all that.” “You Gon't know how bad it is,” he insiste ‘I thought I should lose my nity, Instead—" “Instead?” she repeated as he paus- a “Instead, I hope I have found a wife.” “You hardly knew me until tonight.” “Yes, I've wasted a lot of valuable time. Tell me I am not going to lose any more. Do you think you will learn to_love me?” The girl had been idly tracing pat- terns in the tablecloth with her fork to cover her confusion. Now the lines traced thres letters in the white dam- ask and Grantley clasped the hand that held th+ fork. “I think I have leved vou ever sinca rehearsals started,” he said softly, “but I only found it out tonight.”—St. Louis Gl be-Democrat. experienced.
