The telliperanee warfare is still waged
hotly in the state of Kansas. Offenders
against the proliibit-Iry law are getting

one Zinuiierman. of Topeka. on seven
counts. and not less than $31000 in all
for him and others brought before that

Those who looked in the west last
evening from half-past four till about
six o‘clock witnessed one of the rarest.
grandest sights ever beheld iii the skies.
Just after sunset there was a mellow
twilight. which spread to the south and
gradually changed to a pale yellow. and
then to a deep crimson. Many thought
there was a large conflagration in New
York. The light was so brilliant'ai 6
o‘clock that all along the hills iu the
southwest objects were plainly visible,
and presented a sublime spectacle.
Last Sunday evening at the Granite-

went out and locked the door. l r.

before the titliinguian returned. and it
was necessary to force the door before
the congregation could get out. Those
present claim that there was no special
disturbance and that “‘ynnin was more
to blame. in this instance at least than
the boys.
All trains into New York Monday
nlorning were heavy on account of Evac-
Wt‘lay travel. and the limited ac~
com citations furnished for trains at
the 42d street station caused the usual
blockade there. On account of the
blockade nearly all the trains of the New
Haven road. coming out of New York.
were also seriously delayed. The lim—
ited evening express was an hour alid
nine minutes late. and the earlier trains
averaged about an hour behind time-
No accident of any kind was reported in
the carrying of the great crowd to and
from the city.
The layout of the New York and Core
necticut Air Line railroad has been ac»
cepted by the railroad commissioners.
and now we shall be able to learn how
much business there is in this cor' ra—
tion. According to the report whic un-
nounces the acceptance of the layout. it
now wants only the right. of way and a
chance to expend the money required by
law. The time fixed under the law for
the ex ndiug of at least 830.000 would
be up y December lst. but the commis-
sioners have extended it to March lst.
This company has been fortunate in law
curing a ay-out which-in so many places
blocked the Hartford and Harlem and
now that it has got it. there will be con-
siderable interest to see what it will do

The officers and about forty members
of Our Brothers Lodge visited Pilgrim
Lodge of Ridgefield last evening. The
officers of Our Brothers Lodge rendered
the work in the initiatory degree with
their new and handsome paraphernalia.
After the Lodge was dismissed they were
invited into the Town Hall where three
long tables filled with the substantials
for the inner man were in waiting. Af~
ter supper short speeches were made by
members of both lodges. cigars were

Evacuation Italy.
The rain of Monday greatly marral
the pleasures of the celebration of the
evacuation of New York by the British
one hundred years ago. but for all that
the parade was a big affair. \\'e cannot
attempt any detailed account. There
were over thirtv thousand men in line.
and the procession was eight miles long.
Visitors to the city numbered ilito the
hundreds of thousands. and trains and
steamboats \vere overloaded. The 7.45

The “at Trade. . -
Now that the year is drawing to‘a close
we find it liiav be considered prosperous
to a marked degree. True. profits have
not been at all commensurate with the
volume of business transacted. but this
seems to be the tendency of all lines of
trade. and it seems to be as much the
fault of great expenses as of sharp coni-
petition. How to reduce expenses w ith-
out reducing the number of customers
and amount of sales is the question that
is now being seriously dismissed iii many
counting rooms and private , offices. and
the firm who first arrives at a true solil~
tion will coin uionev. Collections have
been unusually good and evince a satis-
factory condition of the retail trade gen-
erally all over the country.
'(lreat preparations are being made for
the Spring business. and salesmen are
already on the road with samples from
manufacturers and package houses. lte~
ports thus far received do not indicate
that very large orders am being taken.
The dissolution of the Hat Manufactur-
ers Association was unfortunate. as its
possibilities for doing great good were
evident. \Ve fear that it will be some
time before another organixed effort of
this kind will be made. but we find that
most of the package houses; have taken
the regulation of dates into their own
hands and will draw the line in many in-
stances mucli sharper than could be done
when members of the. association.
The retail trade stopped short, very
suddenly. about the middle of October.
and a consequent dullness is ve ' observ~
able in the jobbing house and t e sales-
rooms of manufacturers who cater to
retail trade. '
It is expected that the Spring trade
will start in very early. and from present
indications retailers will have an oppor«
tunity to place their orders for next sea~
son long before the first of January.—

To Singers.
It is as necessary that the proper lim-
its of the male vorce should be defined.
as those of the female voice. In one
sense more necessary. for men are much
more frequently the victims of certain
distressing throat diseases than women.
That temporary or permanent loss of the
voice which one frequent] meets is al-
most always due to straining the vocal
organs. which. provided one keeps with-
in the per limits, no matter how vio-
lent e orts should be made, could never
result. At the B flat. 3 above the
fuss staff there should ways a change
take place. Below this note exercise of the
voice is valuable to every male singer.
The loudest and most protracted singing
can do no harm. But above this note
every tone must be taken lighter and
easier up to F aha third 2 above.
It is because men a ways a so much
effort to produce these notes that they
sound_au octave higher than the some
notes if sung by a female voice. It men
wish to get the correct tone for these up-
per note: they should imitate the toncc
of a boy alto who sings easily. At the
high 1“ that; Just mentioned another
change shou occur. The name given
to these tonesis falsetto. and these sound
nearly the some in male and female
voices. All the tones available to man
lie within these three divisions: lat. all
the low tones up to B flat; so. the tone-
usually sung by the tenor from B flat to
high F Ihxrp; 3d, the falnetto ton

not sound ful and resonant,

Mixer! Politics In Bur-Ion,
The ring‘a champion. in last: week‘s
Hour. endeavors to blind the public by
throwing dust. He places before them
a multitude of words. none of which are
to the point. The first half of his efIil-
sioll he gathers from his garret of old
periodicals that were long ago slowed
away. being of no use or Inlerest to "re
public; the balance are farces and a dis.
play of his ignorance of the question Illi-
der discussion. namely. that a ring is
formed in Darien to rob the working
mail of his daily bread and take the pru~
ceeda to enrich ‘lII‘IIlSt‘th‘S. caring noth-
ing for justice or humanity. So long as
they alone can live they would sink this
whole community. And here. in the
hours of the necessity of the working
classes. this correspondent steps forwnnl
as a champion for all that is unright-
mills. and is doing all that is in his power
to crush the people. Is he rotten at
heart. or is he demented. or has he. like
Judas. sold himself for a price. llc rays
that he is out of the arena. yet demon~
strata that he is the principal fighter for
the ring against justice. He deplorcs
the fact that the republican party can be
defeated in Darien. but don‘t seem to
know that his act of crushing the peo~
plc defeats the party. In his former or-
ticle he talks in his vulgcr language
about cliiliuing the people to get a nonli-
nation in caucus. but he don‘t tell you
that he and his conspirators were mouths

perior court designating committee. and
that after they were appointed chiming
was the order of the day and night. The
committee were stumbled over at mid-.
night on. the road in consultation with
leaders of the ring. They invaded the
church on this unholy business. and al-
most every night the leaders of this
robbery were in consultation with the
judges. They invaded the republican
caucus to manage the nominations so
that the could have men that will do
their bi ding. The correspondent shows
his pitiful ignorance of the oyster ques-
tion when the inquires where have the
public oyster grounds gone. and insinu-
rites that they have been unlawfully
taken to the inJury of the public. Now.
the state classifies first those lands that
are not natural growth oyster and chine
ming beds which may be taken under
forms of law for the cultivation of oys-
ters or clams. Natural oyster and clam-
ming beds are rigidly protected by law
and cannot become private property ex-
cept through the i islioncsty of officers
charged with the dutv of laying out
oyster grounds. Now the very men who
are the most interested in the present
steal in Darien have the very worst re-
cord of any in the state for that very
thing. I would 'ask the citizens of Da-
rien where have the rights the public
once enjoyed in Scotch Cove gone to?

The Thlrteenth Senatorial District.
' Probably from returns compared in
the office of the Secretary of State. the
Hartford (‘oumnf makes the following
showing concerning the election of Sen‘
ator in the Thirteenth District:—
It is known that. if all the votes cast
for each candidate in the election for
senator in the thirteenth district. had
been counted. Mr. Baker. republican,
would have been reelected and Mr. lly-
att. the elected democrat. would have
been relieved of- legislative cares.
The trouble is that. through careless~
hens. a considerable number of votes.
both those for Baker and those for Hyatt.
intended for them. were put into the rep-
resentative ballot box and so became
void. 0f the votes that were counted.
Mr. H att had 10 more than Mr. Ba’kcr.
But 0 the uncounted senatorial votes—
void by being put in the wrong box—Mr.
Baker had more i. ten more than Mr.
Hyatt had. That 3. Mr. Baker had ac~
tunlly a majorit over Mr. Hyatt, if all
the votes could counted.
It is not likely that any movement
towards a recount will be made. but the
existence of the uncountcd votes is an
evidence of inexcusable carlessnecs sonic.L
where. and goes along with many other
facts to argue in favor of the envelope
system. None of tl‘eee votes could have
been ut in the representative box had
they n in envelope submitted to the
box tandem and plainly marked “For
Senator.” ’
