A’ matter which has caused the ad- ministration no little anxiety has been overcome by the action ef the presi- dent in withdrawing the nomination of Thomas Jones to the federal reserve board at the latter's request. This was one of the questions on which Mr. Wilson faced defeat, but the ac- tion which has been taken overcomes that and furnishes the best way out of the difficuity. That Mr, Jones was qualified for the position as far as ability was concerned cannot be ques- tioned, but his position in the har- vester board and the endorsement of the policies thereof, despite the be- lief of the president that he had been named to the board for the purpose and with the intention of reforming it, indicated plainly that he had been led into making the h misunderstanding of the situation. e ground which was taken in the Sénate that a member of a corporation directorate which is being sued by a federal court ought not to be mamed to an important federal commission about to refgrm the vital matter of banking and currency, seems to have been well taken. The action of Mr. Jones relleved an embarrassment under which the ad- ministration has stood for several weeks. It gives a victory to the sen-' ate but it must be conceded that it was likewise the necessary means of freeing the reserve board from the very same hand! at the start. Mr. Jones deserves for his analysis of the situation and action for the relief of the administration, ROOSEVELT AND FUSION.

AN IDLER. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An Appeal for Flowers to the Flower- Lovers of Norwich, Mr. Editor: Thinking that the peo- ple of the town who have an abun- dance of flowers may be glad to share them with those less fortunate, I write this appeal in behalf of the patients of Norwich State Hospital. Many of the patients flowers very much. Many have in their home gArdens blossom- shrubs and vines which they have planted and tended themselves. '\iecse they enjoy in memory. and it is pieas. ant to them to think that through their efforts some spot on the earth is made brighter. The pleasant fragrance and cheery faces of flowers from the gar- den of others would brighten this spot for them. Often flowers are brought by friends of the patients: again. for a long pe- riod, it happens that no flowers are brought, and the ward looks dreary without them. This spring and sum- mer we should have had almost no flowers, if kind-hearted nurses and flower-loving patients had not kept the ward well supplied with wiid flow- ers—violets, bluets, daisies, laurel, etc. Now we have reached a time when there the few wild flowers; moreover, there are not always patienis or nurses both alfle and willing to gather them. To show that flowers are cared for and appreciated {n the hospital, it may be said that two great bunches of laurel were on one of the wards for three weeks, fresh budk constantly opening and the faded fowers being removed: and on the same ward at this writing (July 23rd) are three ox- eyeq daisles, all that is left of a fam- ily of tem, one flower surrounded by nine buds, which came up root and all in the hand of the gatherer. all of the buds developing in water into per- fect flowers. Flowers sent to the hospital will ba most thankfully received, and the giver may rest assured that somewhere in the hospital they will please and cheer many. Honeysuckle, sweet peas, mar- igolds, anything from the garden is acceptable, also wild flowers from fleld SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. One feels sympathy, even across the intervening centuries, for Juan Ponce de Leon in his futile quest for the fountain of youth. Having lived care- lessly, wildly, and burned the candle at both ends, the Spanish grandee found that youth had gone from him early. At 50 years he was not only an old, but a miserable man.| The na- tives of his island realm of Porto Rico told of a land far to the north- west, to which their frail canoes could never take them. Here, they said, was a spring of clear water of which one drank to become young and Strong, as in his best days. “No one grows old in Bimini,” they said. The Spaniards rched the whole coast of Florida for “Bimini,” examin- ing countless springs and water courses, but they never found the foun- tain of youth. Their leader returned at last a broken and disappointed man to die of an arrow wound in Cuba. The old noblemman was only one with the rest of us after all. Most men, and women, too, cling to youth and contemplate the loss of it with a sort of shudder. They feel that ad- vaneing ‘vears mean not only slack- ened physical vigor, but contracted mental outlook and lminished joys. They “hate to grow old.” Oliver Wendell Holmes, himself a perennial youthful spirit, is apokes- man for many in his song: O for one hour of youthful oy, Give back my twentieth spring; T'd_rather laugh a bright-haired boy Than reign & gray-beard king. The sentiment is a common one among the poets, the philosophers, and even the moralists, as, for example, the Bible sage, who bids us make life's great decisions in the days of youth “when the evil days come not nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, 1 have no pleasure in them.” In how much of literature ancient and mod- ern, has old age been given naught behalf of a rival rose. Bring forth the ! command, and the third of tiose who were supposed ta have fired from the custom house windows. On this eventful night—which was the actual beginning of the American revolution—a party of soldiers, of his Britannic majesty’s 29th regiment of foot, fired upon a collection of citi- jzens of Boston and caused the death iof five Individuals. Quartering sol- diers among the colonies was never a popular measure In America and the citizens of Boston, in particular, re- sented it from the first. Outrages had been committed by Some of the sol- diers, which were promptly numed.| and quarrels were frequent. Barly on the evening of March 5 it became nt that an unusual ex- citement prevailed in Boston. Clusters of citizens were obsérved in earnest conference. About 8 o'clock one of the beils was rung as if for fire, and soon fter large bands of men were seen in motion, hurrying forth with clubs in their hands and uttering the fiercest imprecations against the soldiers. There were many slight clashes be- tween the citizens and soldlers, in- cluding an attack on the sentry before the custom house while on duty. Capt, Preston, the officer of the day, sent a corporal and six men to protect the | sentinel and followed them himself. | The mob had now received a great accession of numbers and the soldiers on their way were hooted at and pelted with snow, ice and sticks. They were then ordered to load. After the soldiers had taken their station before the sentinel at the cus- tom hduse and were pushing off the people, one of them received a blow with a club, which brought him to the ground. Rising immediately, k. and the rest, with one Or two excep- tions, followed his example. The-citizens fled from the scene and intense excitement at once prevailed. ‘The streets were filled with people and there was danger of a general ind bloody conflict. A court of justices of the peace was immediately held and a search was made for Capt. on. After several hours he surrendered’ | himself and was committed to prison at 8 o'clock in the morning on tne charge of murder. The soldiers aiso surrendered and were committed to, prison the next day. The regular time for holding the Superior court was the next week after the tragedy in Boston. The grand jury | found bils of indictment against Prec- ton and his eight soldiers for wilf.il murder, but the court thought it fit to continue the trials to the next term, when the people would probably be more free from excitement and a more dispassionate hearing might be ex- pected. The case of Preston first came on for trial before the Superior court of judicature on Oct. 25, 1770.

We do not pretend to know what mistakes have been made or what acts of wrongdoing have been committed by the old management of the com- pany, and we are not sure that the whole situation is due to mistakes rather than to crimes, and the public does not know. -But one great fact {is plaln and that fact is that an im- { mensely valuable property, upon which depends the prosperity and even tae existence of industrial New England, iis threatened with destruction.—Tor- ringten Register. Editor Rodemeyer of the Canaan News, press agent of the Bald He.d club, in explaining why the club takes so little interest in the discovery of a method for planting hair on bald heads, says that “the club is unalter- ably opposed to grafting of any kind. Its members care nothing about hav- ' ;:( theé veéry hairs of their heads num- réd—s0 many transplanted hille to €0 much expanse of cranial acreage— and the constitution and by-laws pro- hibit the use of hirsute fertilizers.”— Rockville Journal. Tn New Haven gentlemen placed under restraint have been known to go out without leaving any word as to their destination and their absence caused the greatest excitement among those in charge. Some even neg-, lécted to return and the sheriff was' plainly disturbed. This, however, has led 10 a change in the discipline and before a prisoner can go visiting now he must ask permission. This is not always granted but this caution en- ables the sheriff to knew where his guests are when wanted—New Britain Herald. the land of liberty, After the manner in which pardons are dealt out by the governor of South Carolina it is a'farce to pursue the fellow who shot the political oppo- nent of Governor Blease, If Hait{ and San Domingo would only agres to start a strike against revolutions for a coupls of years they ‘wouldn't be recognized as the same republics at the end of that time, ‘The opposition which Villa is caus- ing to the conclusion of the negotia- tions between Cardajal and Carranza represents about the same attitude ‘which Carranza took to the proposi- tion of the mediators.

The wisdom of Bolomon was shown when he said: “with all thy gettings get understand- ing’ Do not entertain the notion some good spirit stands ready to ring the ‘m bell for you whenevér you are in donger. There is nothing to it. The person over-timid and cautious is more or less disturbed by fear—they imagine a score of perils exist where there isn’t one—and in their timidity it is not strange we hear of a premoni- tion which proved to be true. They escape the wrecked train and the wrecked steamship because they did not start—they might have been among the saved if they had followed out their intention. There is nothing to a premonition except a negative con- dition which tends to make individ- uals more timid and cowardly.
