Bill Relating to Governor’s Staff Re- committed. Hartford, April 6.—In the senate to- day the biil relating to the governors stafr was recommitted in concurrence with the house. The senate first re- considered its action- in indefinitely postponing the bill, Senator Isbell say- ing that he had no objection fo the. recommitting of the bill Capital Punishment Remains. The bill for the abolisking of cap- ital punishment was the order of the day in the semate today. The com- mittee on_the judiclery had reported unfavorably on’ the bill, Senator Tuttle offered the following substitute bill: Section I’—Hvery person who shall commit murder or who shall cause the death of another by wilfully plac- ing any.obstruction upon any railroad or by loosening, taking up, or removing any part of the superstructure of said railroad, or by Ly burning any bullding or vessel, shal be imprisoned in the state's prison for Nife, and no person convictéd of homicide’ shall be pardoned or paroled Section 2—Section 1141 of the Gen- eral Statutes, and all.other acts.or parts of acts Inconsistent herewith.are hereby repealed. Senator Tuttle said no one appeared before the committes on the judiciary in opposition to the bill. He had been informed that the committee was at one time in favor of the bill. He quoted statements from the governors of Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, Kan- sas and Maine to the effect that the law which abolished capital punish- ment was working satisfactorily . in those states. He concluded by moving that when the vote was taken it be by ayes and nays. The motion for an aye and nay. vote was ed. Senator Klett, of the Sixth district, in supporting the report of the com- mittes on the judiciary and in oppos- ing the bill said statistics showed that prompt _enforcement -of . law - had the effect of the abatement of murders in England and Germany. Among the states this year that had Te- fused to abolish capital punishment were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Missouri and Arkansas. The twelfth United States census showed mors homicides in Rhode Island and Maine, where capital punishment did not exist, than in all other New England states combined. Senator Hewitt said capital punish- ment should be abolished because it prevented the enforcement of the law. Innocent men had been exeouted. Life imprisonment was a much more dread- ed punishment than execution. Senator Isbell said his les ‘were entirely w‘:;.h those who favored the abolishing of capital punishment. Senator Hewitt moved that the mat- ter be temporarily tabled. The mo- tion was Jost. Tuttle Bill Rejected. The substitute bill offered by Sen- ator Tuttle was rejecteq by a vote of three to twenty-six on an aye and vote. . unfavorable report of the com- mittee was accepted and the bill to abolish capital punishment rejected.

D., pastor of the Central Baptist church, spoke to the men at the International Silver company plant Tuesday noon on the subject A Lesson of Faith. The meet- ing was held under Y. M. C. A. au- spices. Rev. Dr. Slocum said that Mrs. Gatty in her interesting classic, Parables from Nature, tells the story of a caterpillar who was engaged by a butterfly to serve as nurse for the newly laid eggs of the Lutterfly. The first conversation is between the but- terfly who is about to die and the cat- erpillar who yet has her life before her. “Do you ses these eggs on this leaf? ell, I want you to take good care of them, for baby butterflies are delicate things and must be fed on early dew and honey.” So saying, the butterfly folded her beautiful wings, closed her eyes and died, and the fuzzy, green caterpillar was left standing by the side of the butterfly’s eggs. It was a very solemn time for the caterpillar. “Just to think of her leaving me with thls job! The little gay things will not mind me and I will not be able to fiy after them when they are naughty.” However, the butterfly was now dead and the caterpiligr had a kind heart and resolved to do her best. “Two heads are better than one,” mused the caterpillar. “T'll get the advice of someone else—some other animal” The story goes on to say that after a good deal of deliberation the cater- pillar finally decided to consult with the lark. The lark came, in response to the invitation, and the caterpillar told all her troubles. The lark heard ard then flew away, singing as he flew. By and by he came back. “News, news, glorious news, friend caterpil- lar!” sang the lark. “You will not be- licve me, but you are to feed the little fellows that will come out of those esgs on the cabbage leaf—just where they lle now.” “Never,” cried the cat- erpillar indignantly. “It ‘was ~their dying mother's request that I should feed them on early dew and honey.” “Their dying mother knew nothing about the matter. What do you think those little eggs will turn out to be?” 37-47 Main St. . Shea @ Burkie “Butterflies, of coumse” sald the cat- erpillar. “Caterpillairs!” sang the larid as he flew away. By and by the lari] came back and samg: -1 e my best news for the last. Y one day be a butterfly vours possibler” exclalmed _the At that moment sh.e felt something ai) her side and, looking around, she s&w| eight or ten little caerpillars crawling around and already beginning to e at the cabbage leaf. They had comfd from the butterfly’s eggs. The cate pillar was amazed, ‘but also delighted, for if this thing tvad come about. Sof might also the secpnd thing which the lark had predicte/f. It was not long, Dbefore the cabsrpillar went to die chryalis grave. As she did so, lieved what the lark had said, claimed: “I shall be a butterfly s day!” And sq it came to pas wken she had lived the beaut mer life of a butterfiy and about to die, ishe said: “I have known) many wondeps, 1 havefaith now can trust for what will come next! This little story is appropriate tp Easter time. It is also fitting for a time when the heart becomes depress- ed and the head asks the old quest of Job: “If a man die shall he divd agam?” 1f God can change a cafer pillar into a butterfly, he can chafigd you and me into His own likeness,
