Excen’cric. but Famous. At a recent meeting of the Equal Rights Club of Hartford, Mrs. L. D. Bacon gave an interesting sketch of the late talented but erratic Miss Abby Smith, of Glastonbury, who for many years refused to pay her taxes because she did not have avote. While her sister J ulia raised cows and made five translations of the Bible, Abby raised. the breeze that wafted them to fame. In the days of the “Millerites” and their talk about the end of the world Julia wanted to learn if there was any warrant in the original Hebrew for Miller’s predictions fixing theend of I the world in 1843; so she studied He— brew and then went to work and trans- lated the Bible. “I have been unable to find,” -said Mrs. Bacon, “that any one man ever translated the whole Bible alone. The Bible has been worked up by many different hands, and has ap- peared under different names, as ‘Wi- clif’s Bible,’ ‘Tyndale’s Bible,’ ‘Cover- dale’s Bible,’ Cranmer’s Bible’ and ‘King James’s Bible.’ No one man ever did the work alone and unaided. This was left for a woman to do; and not only twice, but five times did she perform this herculean labor, and then modestly shut the translations up in her closet for a quarter of a century, - never at that time intending to publish them. Probably no woman after the age of eighty can show such a record as that of Julia Sniith. At the age of eighty-two she had a lawsuit in her town which was decided in her favor‘ and was then appealed by the defend- ant to the Court of Common Pleas re- sulting in a long trial, the Smith sisters coming over every day, Julia being the brightest witness on the stand, in spite of her four-score years and two. At the age of eighty-four she published At the age of eighty-six she _was married, making a record which easily distances the records of ordinary mortals in the eighties.” ' _ Compulsory Voting. The question of compulsory voting has been brought before the constitu- tional convention of New York in the form of an amendment which empow- ers the Legislature to enforce the ex- ercise of the elective franchise by law, with penalties of so severe a maximum as to involve even disfranchisement for such neglect of duty. ‘ It is somewhat strange that legisla- lion should be necessary in a matter of this kind, yet it is a notorious and much to be lamented fact that many of the best citizens of a community habit- ually refrain from voting, even where they know that interests of special im- portance are thus left to the determin- ation of the less intelligent or more im- perfectly informed. The. excuse for their non-action is generally based up- on a certain prejudice against partici- paling in politics. Frequently it is owing to a 'queer sort of indifference on the subject: As a ruleithe public welfare is not seriously endangered by the result of an election, as, for in- stance, in the case cited by a member of the convention, where the yote for Governor in 1891 was 300,000 less‘in New York than was the vote for Presi- dent in 1888. What might have been had these 300,000 men voted it is impos- sible to say, but probably the state would have been no better or no worse 011' than it‘is now. ‘ There are occasions in the history of every State and municipality when it is of the utmost consequence that good citizens should rally. to the front and interpose a barrier if possible to the choice of improper candidates or the adoption of bad measures. It would be well, perhaps, to make them vote, if they failed to comprehend the obliga- tion to do so. Yet it must be borne iumind that a , compulsory voting law would bring a large contingent of undesirable and in- competent votes to the polls. The same - gentleman who referred to the New York electionsof 1888 and 1891 stated, ' furthermore, that including the newly naturalized as well as persons who reach- ed their majority during the interven- ing years, it was safe to say that half a‘ million men who were entitled to vote in 1891 cast no ballot at all that year. . It is rather a perplexing question to settle; yet it is a fair presumption that of a million voters the larger proportion possess suitable qualifications; it is also fair to assume that of the abstainers from voting the good citizens largely outnumber the bud. ,Were it not better however, through campaigns of educa- tion, to bring up the derelict to a better conception of the responsibilities of citizenship than undertake to whip them into the traces by statute? asks . Forest medal, .5 sports, bicycle races, dancing, etc. Early Wednesday merning, the atten-_ tion of Poliéeman O’Neil of Stamford. . was called to'a‘ group cf Italians taking leave on the station platform of one cf their number. This one_ had in his hand a roll of bills amounting to $1,600. On'lnquiry the officer learns that the man was a brother. of Santo, resident Carnot’s assassin. and that he was then starting for New York to sail for France. He has been in Stamford nearly a year. F. E. Brady of Norwalk, who is night clerk at the Stamford station, saw Santo and his money, which in- cluded a roll of greenbacks and a mic bag. The man conversed with some. of the employees at the depot, telling them that he was the brother of Car- net’s assassin. of whose deed he seemed to be proud rather than otherWlse. He said he was going over to do What he could to help him, but dld not explaln just how he expected to render asslst- ance. Santo explained that h1s brother had no choice but to commit the crime. He belonged to a circle of anarchist-s who had voted to put Carnot out of the way, and the lot fell to the man who is now in a French prison.

Commissioner of Patents John ,S‘ Seymour was in New Haven Wednes- day, attending commencement exer- cises and incidentally doing some 151- ness connected with his office. Tal ing of t prospects of passing the present tari bill he said: “I think that, in two weeks, the House will pass the bill, with several modifications. of course. By August 1, we in Washington, look for a big re- vival in business. It cannot help but come as soon as this legislation is fin- ished.

Certainly they cannot be charged with the present condition. , “Better times are surely at hand and I expect to see a general improvement in a few weeks. The Wilson bill will become a law in less than two weeks in my opinion.” The Fighters. For some time past there has been much talk in sportinn' drcles sbcuta meeting between Harry Lane of Bridgeport, and Jack Pigeon, the'Ccn~ adian lightweight, now of Stamford. It has been reported that Lane refised to meet Pigeon. This is untrue. He has been waiting for Pigeon to show the color of his money. Pigeon was in Bridgeport Wednes- day, but his backers were not with him. John Beck telephoned up from Stamford that there was no money in that town to back the Canadian.’ Lane will to-day issue a challenge to meet Pigeon at 135' pounds, catch weights, for $500 a side. He wants Pigeon to put up his money, talk 'busl— nc‘ss or quit going around boasting that Lane is afraid-to meet him. - Fred McGirr of Bridgeport. and Dan Keefe of Glenville Falls, N.

Platform of Principles Adopted In ' Convention at Han'isburg. , ‘ REPUBLICANS CENSURED. The Ad mlnleti'atlonc of President Clevclatfd and Governor Pattlson Highly Com- mended—The Principal De- mands of the Party. _ HARRISBURG, J 11119 28. —The Democrats [0 state convention was called together by Chairman Stranahan at 12:10. Jl‘he hall was decorated with bunting in which the American colors predominated. The call was read by Secretary Nead, after which Chairman Stranahan announced the names of temporary officers, who had been selected yesterday by the state execu- tive committee. Robey; E. .Wright of Al- lentown, the temporary chairman, made a short Speech, which was well received. After the reading of the roll of delegates it was referred to the committee _on ere- dentials. The chairman then announced the committee on resolutions, credentials and permanent organization, and at 12:45 p. m. the convention took a recess. The Platform. ‘ The following is in part the platform adopted: ‘ . The Democracy of Pennsylvania renew their expression of faith in Democratic principles and their unfaltering confi- dence that these principles are efficient for good government, municipal, state and federal. The derangement of business, the dis- turbances between labor and capital, the reduction of wages, the unequal distribu- tion of profits in economic operations and the gross disparity in social conditions which have resulted from the operation of Republican laws will continue so long as those laws are unrepealed. The McKinley tariff bill is now in full force and opera.- tion. We again indorse and approve the dec- larations of the Democratic national plat- form of 1892, upon which a Democratic president and congress were elected. We are opposed to the reckless inflation - of the currency to $40 per capita demand- ed by the Republican statc convention of 1893 and 1894, andwhile we favor the cir- culaton of constitutional money, gold and silver, at a parity of value, we are unalter- ably opposed to any debascment of the currency or to the depreciation of any dol- lar issued by the government to the peo- ple. \Vo heartily approve and indorse the up- right and sagacious administration of President Cleveland. We denounce the derelictlon of the Re. publican party in the legislative branches of the state government; we arraign it for profligacy and condemn it for refusal to enact Wholesome laws demanded for the public welfare. It refused to repeal the statutes requiring the useless advertising of mercantile uppraisements at an enor- mous expense to the state. 'It failed to make congressional. - senatorial, represent- ative and judicial apportionments, as commanded. by the constitution. It re- fus‘edtO pass the legislation necessary to protect the public from unjust discrimina- tion by corporations. It neglected to equal- ize taxation in response to the demands of overburdened labor and of the’ngricultuml interests of the commonwealth. It persis- tently refused to adopt any method by which the enormous deposit of state moneys now scattered among favored in- stitutions should be made amply secure and remunerative to the commonwealth. It failed to’prescribe amendments to the ballot laws necessary to promote greater purity, secrecy and freedom of the fran- chise. . Pattlson’s Administration Indorsed. W’e cordially approve and commend the faithful and efficient administration of Governor Robert E. Pattison. ' We deplore all differences between eln- player and employee, and we deprecate the resort to force for settlement of ques- tions that should be determined by peace- ful arbitrament. We recognize the right of every citizen to be protected in the free enjoyment of his property, and of the priv- ilege to work, when, for whom and at what wages he will. , None the less we condemn the insincer- ity and inconsistency of those who clamor loudly for protection to American indus- try and yet seek every occasion and lose no opportunity to supplant it with cheap imported pauper labor. We denounce the hypocrite 'who pretends zeal for the im- provement of the social condition of the American workingmen and yet displaces and evicts them for aliens, ignorant of our laws and foreign to'our institutions. We reassert the old Democratic doctrine of equal rights and religious liberty, and We are opposed to all organizations which strike at freedom of conscience. » Coxeyites Are Expensive. ' WASHINGTON, June 28.—The attorney general today sent to the senate through the secretary of the treasury a request for a deficiency appropriation of $125, 000 in lieu of $50, 000 asked for some time ago. This amount, it is estimated, will be re- quired to meet the expense incurred by the United States marshals and other o‘fl‘i- Cers of the department of justice in the ar- rest and punishment of Coxeyites in the west, charged with stealing trains.

Why It can [see BotlI'Narby or Dictiunt Gh- All thesis: :.prei'~li‘ave a pecul. mil of eye structure that, enables Ethem to An eagle will ascend more than a. mile in perpendicular height, and from that elevation can perceive its unsuspecting prey and pounce upon“ it with unerring' certainty. Yet the same bird can scruti- - ni'ze with almost microscopic ninety an object close at hand, thus possessing a power .of accOmmodating its~ sight to distance in a manner to which the hu- man eye is unfitted, and of Which it is totally incapable. V _ _ In looking at a. printed page we find that there is some particular distance, probably 10 inches, at which we can read the words and see each letter with perfect distinctness, but if the page be moved to a. distance of 40 inches or brought within a distance of- five inches we find it impos‘s'ible to read it-at all. ,A scientific man would therefore call 10 inches the focus or. focal distance of our eyes. Thiafocus cannot be altered except by the aid of spectacles. But an eagle has the power of alter: ing the focus of its eye just as it pleases. It has only to look at an object at the distance of two feet or of . two miles in order to see it with perfect distinctness. Of course the eagle knows nothing of the . wonderful contrivance that. the Creator has supplied for its accommo- dation. It employs it instinctively and because it cannot help it. The ball of the eye is surrounded by 15 little plates called sclerotic bones. They form a complete ring, and their edges slightly overlap each other. When it looks at a. distant object, this little circle of bones expands, and the ball of the eye, being relieved from ' the pressure, be- comes flatter. When it looks at a very near object, the little bones press to- gether, and the ball of the eye is thus form. — The effect is- very familiar to every one» A person with very round eyes is near sighted, and a person with flat eyes, as in old age, can see nothing cx- cept at a distance. The eagle, by the mere will, can make its eyes'round or flat and see with equal clearncss at any distance. ~Philadelphia Times. Breach of Promise Suits. ' Goldie asks if a young man can sue a young woman for breach of promise’if while engaged to. him sho marries an- otherman. Answer: There are a. great many foolish youngpeoplo in the world, Goldie, who seem to think that they can in some way by money compensa- tion make up for unhappiness, sleepless nights, tears and heartache. Unless there has been some actual wrong, breach of promise suits are a very poor investment. They generally end in a good deal of scandal and have most un- pleasant consequences. If no real wrong has been sustained, the court would - likely award about a cent damages, and there would be heavy costs and all parties made ridiculous. Such suits are best let alone. Legally a man can sue for breach" of promise as well as a woman, but he appears very ridiculous when he does so. —New York Ledger. Should Your Shoes Creak. Crcaking shoes are an intolerable nuisance. Yet some shoes will creak, notwithstanding every- precaution. For such intractable wear itis recommended to pour a small quantity of linseed or sweet oil upon a flat surface, like a platter, and allow the soles to stand in the oil over night. In that way they will not only lose the squeak, but will become saturated with the oil, making them proof against dampness. Another cure may be effected by taking them to a cobbler and having one or two pegs driven into the center of the soles-4 New York W on] d. '1'!) BEN 1'.
