ACTION ON DISSOLUTION. ‘The directors of the New Haven road have indicated that they are net to be scared into sanctioning the sale of the Boston & Maine road under the unjust terms laid down by the Massa- chusetts legislature. Bven though it bas been declared that the law has been violated in the policy of com- bination which the old directors of the road followed out, it is not to be expected that the state of Massa- chusetts should now stoop to secure Pprofit to itself out of the transactions which must be gone through to comply ‘with the government requirements, The proposition as put up to the New Haven difectors is unfair. The government_ says it must break away from the Boston & Maine, and the Tirectors have indicated their desire to carry out the government demands. Thereupon the Massachusetts legisla- ture, through a necessary amending of the charter of the holding com- pany, imposes a restriction upon such sale which makes it necessary to sac- rifice such property when it is sold. It is an unwarranted handicap upon such a sale to attach a string .whereby all purchasers must agree to sell to Massachusetts if it desires them to. Under the circumstances it is but natural that the directors refused to sanction the sale: They, - however, wisely left the matter open for nego- tiation with the government and from that a way out of the holdup may be found. Whether it is through delayed action in bringing suit for dissolution that the legislature of Massachusetts may remove the string, or through some other lessened requirement, those at the head of the New Haven road are deserving of fair treatment. Other- wise they are justified in fightingethe suft. FRESH AIR FUNDS. In many cities this is the season of the year when interest is keen over the raising and use of fresh air funds and it is a magnificent undertaking wherever promoted. The larger cities are pérhaps the ones in which the gréatest opportunities exist for the ng of relief to those who are quartered in close and stifiing tete- ments and who have no other way of knowing and appreciating the delights and benefits of the open country away from the humdrum of big city life, yet there are plenty of chances in the small cities for contributing a day of cheer, recreation and rest to those who are not well blessed <with this Wworld's advantages, and who are not likely otherwise to get such needed and beneficial changes, Norwich has in a small way through a branch of the United Workers fur- nished many a delightful trip to the eduntry or to the shore for those who afe worthy of such attention and it is a mest commendable philanthropy. It i8 & cause in which a greater general public interest might be taken for the ‘assomplishment of an untold amount of good through small contributions. it is children who are con- cerned, the hard workers, mothers ‘with infants, or those broken in health, Such a trip, if only once a summer, provides a day to be remembered through the season and - rds ‘ a ‘brighter look at the daily routine both in anticipation and in reflection, It makes for contentment and is an ef- fort in which countless opportunities are presented for good. GROWING DIVORCE EVIL, ‘Announcement which calls for more than passing attention is that which has been made by the county clerk in the borough of Manhattan in New Yofk state. By his records for the st six monthe of this year there ‘have been grantsd 5640 - absolute di- | vorces against 872 during the same last year, This i by over forty-five per cent, within such periods, is not only cause for o but for alarm, and refleets no upon that horeugh, & great many evils which ‘the In g county where no apecial in are supposed to exist for matrimony, should STATE AND LOCAL POLICE. Meriden ‘authorities are much con- tion with the l!lq‘l sale of lquor at Sunday picnics. Such is the feeling wherever the state constabulary is called upon to o in and perform what is considered the setting to right of local problems, but if it is going to result to the betterment of Sunday conditions in Meriden, it is something for which the majority of the people of that city are going to be pleased. There is no question but what the police of that city could have done as efficient work as did the state offi- cers, but it is evident from the faét of the preparations to stop it, that such was not the first violation of the law in that manner, and nothing had been done by the local officials to check it. If the state police have adjusted a problem which Meriden did not see fit to do, it should give thanks that there {s such a state organization ready and capable to do just such credit upon the local authorities it demonstrates conclusively that there is a law covering such conditions and it can be enforced. There is nothing but approval for such a movement regardless of the promoters. They were not mistaken in the conditions which needed to be remedied, nor disappointed in ‘the ef- ficlency of the authority which they selected to secure a. correction, Every time" there is this feeling over the ‘work of the state police, it is but nat- ural to wonder how long such things would have had to continue before local authorities woke up, or could be moved. SHADE TREES. Shade trees are a valuvable posses- sion by every city, every street where permissable and every piece of prop- erty where conditions are right. They are appreciated by those who have them and those who do not, but just how much 1s not fully understood un- til an effort is made to remove them. Brooklyn just at the present time is much concerned over the claim that one of its well shaded avenues must lose fts trees because the plans for the subway would leave an insufficient amount of sofl to support them. Nat- urally it doesn’t suit and efforts are being made to overcome the difficulty in some manner or other even if the subway has to be constructed at a somewhat lower level. The protest | seems likely to accomplish good re- sults, but whether it does or not it displays the feeling of the people in regard to shade trees. In the clty of Philadelphia there has been named within two years a com- mittee from the park commission to | take care of the trees within the city streets and they have entered upon a commendable campaign to prevent the | butchering of the trees, though they | are conducting a systematic plan of removing the deadwood and properly trimming them for their improvement. Shade trees add much to the beauty of a city and it is a commendable ef- fort which is undertaken for their preservation and retention, and it is the city which gives them attention befort: they are gone which profits, EDITORIAL NOTES. Times may change, but it is certain- 1y as easy to get excited about base- ball as it ever was. Harry Thaw has now won in a civil action. This of course puts new life into his fight against justice. What has become of those old fash- foned politicians who used to gather at Niantic on governor's day? Tt is strange what a lot of needless | attention has to be centered upon the thermometer during the warm periods. The man on the corner says: Man may want but little here below, but that usually belongs to someone else.

Though nothing has been said, if Thrift were asked, there would no doubt be a comnlaint for overwork and ‘small accomplishments at that. Every head of the houSehold can appreciate what it means to keep the congressional ways and means com- mittee busy throughout the summer without a rest. The condition of the labor market is revealed by the trouble which the employes thrown out of work by the Salem fire, are experiencing getting work .elsewhere. ‘When Mr, Whitman is placed in the Apanias club by T.

If a man wants to get the worst end of ;the argument he should tackle a homely woman who has no temptation to look in the glass and has never been bothered by admirers. She was constructed to lend herself to abstruse subjects. She hasn't been made vain by praise, but she has found it neces- sary to show skill in puddings and | parleying. She'll tell you beauty is| only skin deep, and prove it to your satisfaction. She is prepared to balk the theologians and to bring dismay to the face of politicians. She doesn't guess—she knows. She doesn't talk to please, but debates for edification. Old Euripides let the world know he dis- liked the woman who knew too much; and in these days Euripidean men are not scarcé. They do not like Sapphos, | Hypatias, Mde. Curies or Catts. ! They believe women should not know too much; and those given to fashion- plates and the mirror are in no danger of disturbing them.

In domestic affairs it ls common for one partner to keep the other in ignorance of everything concerning business and its results; and to gratify her to his own ruin or to deny -her to her utter disgust. Some domestic partners do not know wheth- er they are provided for or mot when the husband dies; and when they fin- ally lefrn that they are amply provid- ed for and remember the ignorance and the restraint put upory them, they are =0 glad to be free that they forget b e to_mourn the dead, which also is a It is a debatable question what the | logical sequence of the conduct of satisfaction is in :umg one's kin | partner.

If & modern “efficiency expert” were set to study your expenditure of your time resources, gentle reader, he would probably tell you that you were wast- ing a large number of individual days. That, at least, is what he would tell most of us. We are carelessly letting days go by unimproved that seem; for one reason or another, not quite suited { to_our purpose.

Since our powe tastes, and ex- pressions are controlled by Rections o brain-cells it is apparent that our| brain is the pigeon-hole part of our machinery; and since phrenologically it has been divided into 44 parts weo may be allowed to imagine it has tae! same number of compartments in which are stored away our memories, thoughts and plans, with here and there an electrical push button which can start our feelings ant our tears. Just in proportion to our storege capacity is our power less or more— our world large or small. It is this packing away in the brain-cells of our memorles which constitutes con- sclousness and gives to life its real ferver or color.

He has enjoyed a wide acquaintance with the literary men ol his day, numbering among his friends such men as Whit- comb Riley, Bugene Field, and Sam Walter Fo The dominant note in Mr. Cone's|) Iwork js humor blended with pathos. John Kendrick Bangs once said that it is pathetic for a man to start out as a humorist because he can never be anything else. This certainly has not held with Joe Cone. In some of his recent productions in more serious vein he has touched a high hote. “The Seasons,” and “The Sonug «f The Ham- mer” well illustrate this, as does also the following: Myself. T have to be myself, that's all No matter where I chance to be, Cr what T do. 1 may be wrong |_And do that which is bul for me. { But ever up the weary road, { Let come what will, what'er befall I canngt do as others do: I have to be myself, that's all.

"Tis is One of the most pleasing features | of Joe Cone’s poetry is a note of spon- | taneity which breathes in everythi he writes. His humor is never labore his pathos never forced. To him a {poem is the occupation of & morning. There is in his best things an impetus, a hurry that suggests resource. One is made to feel that whatever intel- lectual cdin he spends, there is al- ways something left in his purse. In 1891, Mr. Cone married Miss Emma Clevenshire, of East Haddam, Connecticut. Mrs. Cone is & lady of character, culture and refinement, and doubtless much of her husband's lit- erary success has been due to her good influences. They have one daughter, an accompliched young lady of seventecn. . For several years Mr. and Mrs. Cone have lived in Saybrook, Connecticut. They call their home ‘“The House By The Side of the Road.” Asked why he selected this name for his home, Mr. Cone handed the inquirer the fol lowing lines from the pen of Sam ‘Walter Foss. To one who enjoys acquaintance with Mr . Cone. these lines leave noth- ing to be said and with them this little sketch may fittingly be closed. ‘Thmd.: hermit souls that live with- wn In the peace of their sélf-content: There /are souls, like stars that dwell apart, In a fellowless firmanent; There are pioneér souls that blase their paths Where highways never But let me live by the axae of th- road And be a friend to man.
