HARTFORD, April 26.-—At a meet- ing of the Farmers' Association of the Legislature this morning Represents, live Fosdick. of layme, asked for the support of the members for the sub- stitute bill reported by the Judicial committee which provides for re-lm. bursement by the state for damages by Deep River. , , Representative Stoughton was op- posed to the bill which. proposes to increase the salaries of judicial oili- ctlefis on the grounds of unconstitution- a y. Representatives Fosdlck and Mar- vin. of Lyme, also lent their voices in opposition to the bill. ‘ Mr. Marvin thought the association should put, itself on record as opposing any bills that would tend to under- ».mine the constitution of the state. in the House this morning the bill creating a state board of commission ers of innlteepers was rejected as an adverse report of the excise commit- tee. Representative Tyler, of East Ha- vcn. chairman of the committee. said it was a prevailing opinion that Con’ iiezcticut. did not want Raines law ho- to S. u Several petitions in favor of the bill intended to repeal the law under which telephone companies operate and the bill requiring all tobacco sold in the state to be tagged with the name of the state in which it is grown, were received and referred to the judiciary and agricultural committees, respec- lively. The committee on new towns nnt' probate districts reported adversely on the petition of the citizens of Willi. mantle for the extension of its boun- daries to the town of Windham. The petitioners were given leave to withdraw. . ‘ A favorable report was receiver. from the committee on women suit rage on the bill admitting women ciii-. zens as municipal voters. At the request of Chairman Poems, of the railroad committee. the bll. known as the ”Consolidated Street Railway Bill,“ was passed on tho‘cal endar until tomorrow. Bill's repealing the law yhich pro vide for the compulsory vaccination of school children, the order of the day in the house at 12 o'clock. were ink en up at. that time on motion of Rep- resentative Allen, of East Windsor, chairman-oiling public health and safe. ty committee. 9- Representative Averill. of Branford, moved their postponement for nnoth or week out. of nespecl. lo the memory of Senator Plait, but. the motion did not prevail. The bills were considered together with the majority and minority reports of the public health and safely com- mittee. It was said at the time. the minority report was submitted to the house that. it was influenced largely by a great number of petitions receiv- ed favoring the repeal of the law. It was signed by the senate chairman and two representatives. Representative Alien upheld the ma- joril y report and moved its acceptance and the rejection of the bill. Rep- resentative Dickinson, or Stratford, in supporting the minority expression, said that. the whole history of vaccina- tion had been one of misrepresenta- tion and failure. its advocates be iieved in it largely as a matter of heredity. it had not. pl‘oven efficacl one as a preventative of disease. but on the contrary had unlined much suf- fering and death. Representative Griswold. of Gilli- ford. was strongly opposed to com- pulsory vaccination. He said that it had been dealih a death blow in the house two years ago, but the senate had taken reverse action and the law. had remained unchanged. This your he was personally more opposed ‘to the law limit ever and urged the pass age of the repeat measure. Repre sentailve Averill, of Branford, re’ marked along the same. line and urg- ed the house to ratify its ncilon of two years ago. Representative Jewett. of Chatham. and .lewott, of Canaan. were in favor of the rejection of the bills desiring no change in the present law.

In addition to the mains line there are several projected branches. some to connect with the principal towns and cities to the south of the railway. and others to open np.new districts still further north. Nothing has been definitely decided, but it is practically certain that in the east. branches will connect the new transcontinental rail- way with M'bntreal, Toronto. Sault Ste Marie and Fort William; while in the west branches will be built. to Regina Calgary. Prince Albert and other im- portant centers in the wheat and ranching districts. in British Colma- bia connection will probably be made with a line running north from Van- couver, and a branch line will run north to Dawson City. A possible de- velopment. of the future may be In branch from some point on the eastern section extending northward to Hud' son bay. Railways to Hudson bay have been projected and chartered time and again during the: past ten or fifteen years, but have always fallen through because of the immense expense in volved. and the. uncertainty as to the forthcoming of profits for many years after completion. With the new traps- continental road opening up so muEli of northern Canada. the deal of""a branch to Hudson bay, would be very materially reduced, and its commer- cial success correspondingly increased. ——Success. l . ~ COOKING RICE.

As has been well said. man's work is the expel-salon of his character. and no conscientious man wants to be judged by a work which he feels to be unworthy of him. But there. are other reasons than this whyia wrltur should occasionally, at least. tear up his writings.‘ This is particularly true of the editor of a newspaper. it happens. that every now and then in the course of the edi- tpr‘s career that he finds himself in an abnormal state or mind. He may be gloomy, as may be dyspeptic. he may be laboring under some great provoca. lion, he may be aroused to a p trh-of excitement or indignation because of some occurrence, and in sue” a frame of mind he must give vent to his feel- ings. The proper course for him to pursue in such circumstances, is to all down and giv ,'his feeling. and if need be his lmag nation, full swing. He should write as freely as the euro tion of the moment suggests and give his pen unbridled liberty. He should let all the gloom or the bitterness or the spite or theiudiguation within him come out without stint. it will give relief. But after he has unburv dcned himself he should then tear up his manuscript and consign it to the waste basket. and proceed to his task in his normal state of mind. if all editors would pursue this course they would save themselves lunch trouble and have a better standing with their readers. - But therules should apply to others as well as to editors. Sometimes when ,one has received a provoking letter the impulse is to reply Jfl kind d’hd to‘make a bad matter worse. it. may be a good r le 0 writelthe spir- ited reply and ma e t as fiery as pos- slblo, to open the vials and one‘s wrath and let all the wrath flow out in the ink.
