EXplred Patents.
Among the many reforms and practi-
cal improvements inaugurated by Com-
missioner Seymour in his administra-
tion of the Patent Office, none will
command‘wider appreciation by the
general public than his recent orders
to have all eXpiring patents regularly
published in each issue of the Patent
Office Gazette. Now if he will inaug-
urate a successful ejection of all the
odds and ends Of the Interior De-
partment from the noble “Patent
Office” building in Washington and
occupy it solely as the needs of his
only self sustaining branch of the pub-
lic service demands that he should,
Commissioner Seymour will crown his
head with wreathes of glory.
Colorado's Extra Session.
Gov. Waite’s extra session of the Col-
orado Legislature lasted fifty-two days
and cost the state between $60,000 and
$80,000, which is a good deal of money
these hard times. There were seventy-
eight bills introduced in the house, of
which forty-one were passed, and of‘
these all but twelve were killed in the
Senate. The latter introduced no bills
at all.
Fortunately, while the measures
‘adOptcd were hardly worth the large
expenditure involved,they were for the
most part meritorious. The Denver
Times especially mentions as comm end-
able the bills amending the election
laws, establishing a municipal eight-
hour law, amending the attachment and
trust deed laws, and exempting an in-
creased amount of the wages of work-
ingmen.
Yet this Legislature gave no substan-
tial relief to the unemployed people of
the state, and during its entire session
all movements of outside capital came
to a standstill for fear that it might be
guilty of some mischievous legislation.
An early revival of business and confi-
dence is looked for now that the danger
is over.
Precedents for Mr. White.
Those gentlemen who are so power-
fully worked up over the fact that Mr-
White, of Louisiana, retains his seat in
the Senate, though already a commis-
sioned Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, will do well to
remember that there is an abundance
of precedent foi-‘hls‘action. It might,
indeed, be claimed that until Mr. White
shall have duly qualified he has a per-
fect right to serve in the Senate during
a ”temporary emergency, which he re-
gards as being of paramount import-
ance. But it is not necessary to fall
back upon that proposition, unanswer-
able though we believe it to be.
There are several instances in which
Justices of the Supreme Court have ac-
tually left the bench to perform other
duties. Justice Jay once went abroad
to negotiate a treaty with England;
J ustice Nelson sat on some claims com-
mission at Geneva, and Justice Har-
lan, as we? all know. served in the
Bering Sea arbitration at Paris last
year. Perhaps the most remarkable
and significant case, however, is that
of Chief Justice Marshall, who was ap-
pointed to the Supreme bench January
1, 1801. He was confirmed on January
27 of the same year, was qualified and
took his seat on February 4, and yet
all-that time and until March 3, he con-
tinued to hold the office and perform
the functions of Secretary of State,
alternating the duties as the occasion
seemed to require. He presided in the
Supreme Court from February 4 to,
February 9,“ and on February 27 we
find a Presidential message, accom-
panied by a report, signed John Mar-
shall, Secretary of State. All of which
will be‘ found in Hickey’s “Constitu-
tion," seventh edition, 1854.

.‘_ /
board Of county commissioners has
submitted the following opinion in ref-g
erence to the county tax levy: ‘
“To the Honorable Board of County
_, Commissioners:
“GENTLEMEN:-—In reply to your ques-
tion, whether the tax imposed by the
representatives Dec. 30, 1893, upon the
difi’erent towns in Fairfield county and
laid upon the tax list of 1893, and pay-
able June 1, 1894, is legal, would say:
“The tax is imposed by authority of
Section 1983 of the general statutes of
1888, which, after specifying'how the
representatives shall meet, provides
that ‘the tax shall be imposed upon the
towns in proportion to their respective
lists last made, and completed, and pay-
able at such time as said meeting may
prescribe.’ ‘
“ The meeting was held Dec. 30, 1893,
and it was then voted ‘that a tax of
five-tenths of amill be levied on the
grand list of 1893, payable on June 1,
1894.’
“ By Section 3815 of the general stat-
utes, it is provided *7 * * ‘that the
time for the assessment of the taxes of
the towns of * * * Danbury and
Bridgeport, and for making the abstract
thereof, etc., is hereby extended until
the 31st day of December in each year.’
“I‘he supreme court in Goddard vs.
Seymour, 30 Conn. p. 397, says : ‘The
statute makes the grand list made out
by the assessors the only record In
these proceedings. This is not perfect-
ed until it has passed through the
hands of the board of relief.’
“As the various boards of relief do
not meet until the first Monday in J an-
uary in each year, and their duties are
frequently not completed until some
weeks thereafter, the grand lists conse-
quently last made and completed at the
date of the meeting, were the lists of
1892.
' “I therefore advise your honorable
board that the tax should have been
imposed on the lists last made and com-
pleted Dec. 30, 1893, which were the
lists of 1892, and that the tax imposed
by the representatives Dec. 30, 1893,
on the list of 1893, was illegal and void.
I should advise that another meeting
of the senators and representatives of
the county be called at an early day
and a proper vote passed.” ‘ ,
Like a Pewter Mug.
“If I had my way,” says Judge Mc-
Adam of New York,the other day, “I’d
send drunken women to prison for life.”
It was a remarkable utterance, and
“ the divinity that doth hedge about a”
judge forbids criticism. It- may be
permitted, however, to the public to
wonder what the learned Judge would
do with drunken men if he had his way.
Is drunkenness in itself a crime, or is
it the sex that is criminal? ' It is possi-
ble (and it is interesting if it be the
case) that Judge McAdam is following
out to its logical conclusion an idea
that I once heard expressed by the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
“A woman,” said the great divine,
“is like a crystal vase.” And then,
with his inimitable oratory, he des-
cribed the crystal vase and the woman
as being of transcendent beauty and
virtue.
“If the vase falls,” he continued,
“ it is shattered into five hundred frag-
ments, and can never more be a vase.
A man, however, is like a pewter mug.
You may let that fall as hard as you
like, and it may be dented, but it is
still a mug.”

Excelsior Water.
Mr. James Hadden, has on draught
at his store, corner of Wall and River
streets, the celebrated Excelsior Spring
water. This water can be used at any
and all times with beneficial effect. It
is a pleasant and healthful beverage,
but to produce an aperient or cathartic
effect it should be taken before break-
fast. An invaluable use of this water
is to prevent and remove distressing
effects of excess in eating or drinking.
Its effects are permanent. Sparkling
with carbonic acid gas it is to most
persons very agreeable to the taste.
Physicians recommend its use to their
patients. To those desiring the same
Mr. Hadden- will furnish the water in
bottles. You will make no mistike in
giving the Excelsior a trial.

They Lead.
Messrs. Raymond & Sons, the furni-
ture dealers, who lead all firms in the
price, quality and quantity of furniture
in this section Of the state, have a new
adv. to-day. If there is anything in
the furniture line that you want, by all
means give the firm a call before pur-
chasin elsewhere. In the way of par-
lor an bedroom suits, theyhave a large
variety. As for rockers, it is safe to
say that they have fully one hundred
different kinds. In fact, the stock is
complete and it occupiesthree floors of
the most capacious store in western
Connecticut.

Genial “Bob” Adams has already
demonstrated to the Bridgeport public
that he knows how to run a hotel. He
has been here only a short time but the
Tremont Hotel on Middle street, which
he recently purchased, has steadily
grown in popularity until to-day it has
become one of the 'most popular hos-
telrics in --the city, or state for that
matter. Mr. Adams has deservedly se-
cured his full share of the public pat-

Why iii it that a man can never, agree
witha girl when they happen to be dis-
cussmg the beauty of some other girl?
Short skirts seem to be therule for
the Spring, and we may expect to‘see a
new arrival in the shape of dainty foot-
gear if the shortening keeps on. Es-
pecially woman who go in forathletic
exercises, such as bicycle riding and
walking, will adopt the ankle lengths.
There is something so demure about
a little wOman that one never suspects
her of wearing anything audacious,
even in the face of the most glaring
facts. She can wear a bow at her neck
as large as her head and look serenely
over the top of it with the same nonchal-
ance as if it were not big enough to be
suspected of running away with her.
The woman who has no avoidupois at
all should put far away from her black,
and all the deeper shades, but especially
black. She is already thin, and black
makes her look like a more exclamation
point and. unless she is of rather extra-
ordinary beauty, makes her look very
much older than she is, and as gray as
old, and now as yellow as a lemon; it
needs a very fine color, incised, in black
not to look sallow. -
Ribbons will be more popular than
ever for trimming summer dresses,
they say, now there are several novel-

the exquisite little sprigs on old Dres-
den china. The same design in black
gross grain is also very effective, and
another pretty novelty is a ribbon with
a. long white lace edge.

The band around the wrist is from one~

with rows of fancy stitching. They
are cut and made with as much atten-
tion and care as kid gloves, and the re-
sult is a glove as perfect as the most
fastidious could desire,_light and flexi-
ble for warm days, when kid would be
a burden. They come in all the latest

to an untimely grave and an attempt to
get possession of the estate of an inSane
sister and a 8230.000 defalcation charged
against one of the alleged conspirators are
behind a case which is on trial here now

cused par-ties. ’
The fight in court is over the estate of

million dollars’ worth of it is in real es-
tate located in the central part or" the city.

executor of the estate of Annie, :2. daugh-
ter of the deceased, to recover her interest
in the dead millionairc’s property.
James B. Alexander, Mary and Elsie
\Vhite are made defendants. \Vhen \Vhite
died, he left all his estate to his widow, who
cut Annie out of her will upon her death.

duced to deed her interest in her father’s
estate to her mother and was then remov-
ed [to New _York,'vvhere she Was treated
shamefully to hasten her death, being a
confirmed invalid.
While in New. York Annie married Al-
exander Rose, a poor bookkeeper, and When
she died broken hearted in a private asy-
lum at Litchfield she left him all her in-
terest in her father’s estate. Alexander
White, son of the millonaire, "had the
handling of the estate, and it is charged
was $250,000 short in his; accounts when it
was taken out of his hands,‘ and for this
reason his mother also cut him off in her
will. ,

Prevented From Calllng Out Militia to Un-
seat Police COiniiilssioners.
DENVER, March 10,—The city police were
massed at the city hall under orders from
Police Commissioners Orr and Martin, up-
on Whom Governor Waite on VVcdnesdny
served notices of removal, to prevent their
successors, Dennis V Mullins and S. D.
Barnes, appointed yesterday, from taking
possession of the offices. .
It was believed the governor intended to
call out the militia if necessary to install
the new commissioners in office, and Wells,
Taylor & Taylor, counsel for Orr and Mar-
tin, secured from J udgc Graham a tempo-
rary writ of injunction rest-raining him
from issuing the call, also restraining
Mayor Van Horn from arming a posse of
men to assist in forcing Commissioners Orr
and Martin out of their offices, and re-
straining the governor’s new appointees
from taking their seats.
The bill on which the injunction was so-
oured states that the governor, without
canes, had formed the intention of calling
out the militia and says that if such a
course were pursued bloodshed would be
inevitable. Chief Kellogg isin charge of the
police at the city hall, and Sheriff Burchi-
11611 has a large force of deputies who will‘
assist in preventing the new commissioners
from taking forcible possesaiou.
