' ' " That Tired Official Feeling. We hear considerable concerning Cabinet'oflicers and other prominent Government officials who are tired. We are ‘informed by the persons an. thorized to speak for these gentlemen, says the Washington Post, that the of- fice-seekers have so imposed upon their time and patience that both their'phys- ical and mental capacities have been overtaxed, and that they are contem- plating some plan to escape the hordes of hungry and importnning Democrats who are now in Washington demanding what they consider their just dues. , Such talk from men who are firmly intrenched in office doesn’t sound well. There is a flavor of selfishness in it that tends to disgust ,the general pub- lic. Persons who accept public office generally do so with their eyes open. If they don’t they are entitled to no sympathy. Every member of the Cabi- net and all of the important officials under the administration knew the character of the work they would be compelled to perform when they as— sumed office, and when they complain and find fault they, to say the least, act in bad faith. There is not such a mad rush for office as some fault-finders would have us be: lieve. True,there are a number of gen- tlemen temporarily in Washington who are willing to assume some of the re- sponsibilities of government, and they have probably called upon Cabinet of? ficers and heads of departments to vol- unteer their services, but up to date none of the officers who have favors to - , dispense have been sand~bagged, and there is not the least danger that they will be. Suppose Cabinet officers and heads of departments do become tired. They are not near so weary as the people who are on the outside waiting for the places. A long dreary wait without a salary at- tachment produces that tired, languid feeling in its most enervating form. Let the officers of the administration conéider this question from the stand,- point of humanity and justice and stop complaining of the official fatigue. Zimri, the Mighty Hustler. > - _ Zimri Dwiggins is the name of a financial comet that was first observed in the Ohio monetary firmament, then passed westward and for sometime siz- zled brightly over Chicago. Zimri first 'saw the light of day and the gleam of dollars in Attica, Ohio, andwas the son of poor and honest parents. Like all great Ohioans little Zimri walked daily seven miles to, the log school house where he must‘have been always ,at the head of the arithmetic class. He was moreover, a voracious reader and fond of the biographies of famous men, notably those of John Law and Captain Kidd. Zimri began business in Ohio, but that state was too slow for him and like all men with balloon heads he sought Chicago as naturally as Nature’s Prohibitionists, the ducks, seek water. Here our hero engaged in business, and some viperous tongued gossips are mean enough to say that he kept a “bucket shop.” Just what a “bucket shop ” is we do not know, but we fear for Zimri’s sake, that it is a place where beer is sold by the bucket instead of by the tomato can. Zimri, however, was uneasy; he felt that he was an eagle and not a grasshopper, and he longed to fly around with Chi- cago’s big financial birds, but he soon found out that it took cash to do much flying in Chicago. Those early arith- metic lessons that Zimri had learned in Ohio soon enabled him to figure out a scheme that tooklike a free lunch with the jays; he posed as a philanthropist and he, promised big interest, a com- bination that is always fatally alluring to the rural mind. The trust idea was brought into play; there was to be a. group of " federated banks,” the. chief bank Zimri’s own, in Chicago, and as he unfolded the scheme to the jays of I-Ioosierdom and, Suckerdom, the Chi- cago bank was to be a fountain in the desert sending forth streams wherewith to water, financially speaking, the dry and dusty neighborhoods. This was the philanthropic side of the scheme, ' and the ‘f federation” idea with its un— usual opportunities for mutual aid and combined investment promised big dividends. “After awhile-it Was found, . that the Chicago'fountaifi didn’t work as, Zimri promised it would, but that» instead, Zimri-’s‘bank had drained J ayl' ville and the other places which en- joyed the‘advantages of the “feder- ated banks” of all their cash. Here was where Zimri’s greatness came in, and we see what Ohio’s born genius can do where supplemented bya Chi- cago education. Zimri’s plan was this ; he first organized a National bank in Chicago, and then with some of the bank’s money in his pocket he found a place that wanted a bank or additional banking facilities. A bank was organ- ized, Zimri supplying some money and local capitalists the rest. .Whatever cash Zimri turned in he managed to have remitted. to Chicago to the “foun- tain ”bank, so that his line of deposits showed up well. This scheme worked well for awhile, butas the Chicago bank soon had quite a collection of stock certificates on hand, and as the National bank examiners are an in- quisitive set and given to asking ques- tions that are embarrassing to “ talent- ed and progressive” bankers, Zimri knew that those stock certificates must be gotten under cover. Those early arithmetic lessens again helped Zimri over the hedge. Our hero walked out one fine bracing day and catching hold of a gale that had just come in from Galena he worked it up into a Trust Company. This last corporation took Zimri’s stock certificates and issued 8 per cent. debentures with the stock cer- tificates as collateral, and proceeded to sell the debentures to “goslings” in the East, for it is awcll known fact that men who will lay awake nights for fear the local saving banks may go up, will unhesitatingly buy trash of such fellows as Dwiggins if he only makes the-rate of interest big enough. But there came an end to Zimri’s “ kiting ” operations, as there must to all enter- prises insufi‘iciently capitalized, and now the “jays,” the “goslings,” and others who thought Zimri was a great man have changed their opinion, but it has been expensive. I This instance should teach people to keep their money at home, and be con- tent with reasonable returns. The days of large interest have gone by forever, and any enterprise that promises over 5 or 6 per cent. is risky, and if you have money to invest there are men here in town who can» do it as well and as safely as. Mr. Zimri Dwiggins, but they will not promise you. any such large returns. And yet, netwithstand-_ ing this Dwiggins episode, there are thousands of dollars which will get in- to the hands of men like Dwiggins, be- cause people are not content with the prevailing rates. If you are a scoun- drel and wish to. get hold of other peo- ple’s ‘money, promise big rates of in- terest and you will invariably land ' your fish. —c so —-——-—————- TERSE TALES OF THE TIMES.

It modifies the prohibi- tion against carrying merchandise, and permits such carrying to an extent ap- proved by a judge of the Superior court. _The_provision against parallel- ing steam railroads is also modified, so that the Superior . court may permit such paralleling. ‘ g No “change was made in the clause re- stricting the speed of electric cars to fifteen miles an hour.. The bill was passed by the House, 133 to 20, and en- countered little opposition in the Sen- ate, althoughPiercc wanted it tabled in order that it might be given further consideration. ' - Any corporation desiring to build an electric road must make application to the Superior court who shall decide the question of necessity for the road. The bill Will, now become a law as soon as, the Governor’s signature is attached. The Consolidated road submitted a new proposition relative to the Bridge- port improvements. Instead of a spec- ial outSIde commission they ask that the Railroad commissioners may have power to accept plans, order the various details of the work, condemn land if nec- essary and make appraisal of dama es. The Common council are authorize to act on behalf of the city in all matters. The decision of the commissioners shall be final except that an appeal to the Superior court is allowed. , Walsh appeared before the Judiciary committee in opposition to thebill pro- viding for a milk inspector in Bridge- port._ He thought the presentlaws sufficient to guarantee the purity of milk, if enforced, and believed it the proper function of the health depart- ment to attend to their enforcement.

About the only change made is that the company shall furnish a bond to in- demnify the state for any damage it may do to equipments furnished by the state. Thistplaces them on the same footing in this respect as the regular commands of the C. N. G. Applica- tion of the same rule will probably be made to the companies of the Gover- nor’s Horse guards; ' The bill asked for by Anthony Com- stock, punishing by heavy penalties the advertising of counterfeit money or having in ene’s possessionany of- the devices employed in green goods swindling, was passed by the House. immediately transmitted to the Senate, and passed by that body under a sus- pension of the rules. It makes dealing in green goodsfiand like sw‘indling schemes 9. felony punish- able by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years and by a fine of from $100 to $2,000. ' . The Senate passed the medical prac- tice act, including the House amend- ments, and tacked on a further amend- ment exempting from the provisions of the bill physicions who may be called from other states in consultation. It is also specified that nothing in the act shall be construed as forbidding the prescribing, sale or advertising of pro- prietary medicines. , In the Senate the bill to prevent the counterfeiting of the trade marks or labels of trades’ unions was passed. Violation of the law is punishable by imprisonment of from three months to one year, and ‘a fine of from $100 to $200 or both. The Senate recommitted the bill con- fering suffrage in school elections on women which the House passed last week. The bill giving all clergymen equal privileges in the matter of visit- ing country homes was passed ; as was also the bill providing that in future all executions shall take place in the State prison. The condemned is not to be informed of the date appointed for his hanging. ‘ These matters were also passed: Compelling railroad companies to re~ build burned depots within a limited time; empowering the town court of Ansonia to issue naturalization papers ; authorizing Stamford to issue $100,000 of school and bridge bonds; for build- ing sea walls in Greenwich. In the'House the bill permitting the holding of Sunday night concerts was beaten by only six votes ‘on a bare quorum. - Mr. Callahan of New Haven said he did not believe that any person would be damned for listening to music on Sunday night. Mr. Lounsbury of Darien deprecated the desecration of the Sabbath by .un- holy music. He said the saloons might as well be Opened. Mr.’ Lees of Westport did not think it would be breaking any law of God to at- tend a Sunday concert. Mr. Walden of Willimantic ‘ argued that the churches which have the best, singing have the largest congrega- tions. . - Mr. c'Gunn of Milford thought it would be far better to allow people to attend Sunday concerts than to make them stay at home and rush the growl- er from the nearest side door. Mr. Wells of Fairfield said the giv-‘ ing of Sunday concerts was the first step towards abolishing Sunday alto- gether. ‘ Mr. Gunn said there are different ways of observing the Sabbath. Some people, in‘ordcr to keep good, make a minister work harder on Sunday than any other day, and pay a choir to sing. He had attended a church in New York where, if there had been no singing, the mimsterfluld not have been “ in it.” Other people assembled at their society reoms Sunday night, had their music and singing, with an occasional glass of beer. He thought these peo- ple just good and just as pious as the others. _ . . Bills were passed repealing the law concerning stock liabilities ; amending.

Word was received at South N orwalk this morning that a man had been ' struck by a locomotive and killed in East Norwalk, and that, he was lying bemde the track. Coroner Burke im. mediately went to the place where it was said the victim was. His investiga- tion resulted in finding that there was no truth in the story, and that it' was started by a tramp who said-that he saw a man lying alongside the track , with his hat crushed in and he thought he was dead. If the tramp’s story. was true the man dead or alive did not wait for the arrival of the coroner. -. Seeley Badly Hurt. C. Ford Seeley, the racer, met with quite a serious accident while riding in the Linscott twenty-five mile road race Monday.

But he got on his wheel again and had almost caught McDufi'y once more when he was taken with cramps and , had to give up. He is now in bad shape. His knee, which is badly swollen and bruised and. cut, promises to give him . much—trouble...__ - ‘ of it. The general impression of those - that saw the accident was that it was more or less intentional on McDufi'y’s part. Seeley will probably not be able to race again before the middle of J u no.
