The large proportion of Senators al-
ready chosen makes it comparatively
easy to‘discount the attitude of the next
Senate on important public questions.
For instance, it can be stated positive-
ly that the Republicans will be able to
pass their tariff bill at the next session.

South Carolina will" be the banner
state for contests at the next session.
Eyery representative of that state who
comes here with a certificate after the
with of March will have to undergo a
contest, the“ chief ground of which in
each case‘is‘that the new registration
and election laws of the state are un-
constitutional.

TO SEE THE SIGHTS.
Two Bridgeport Girls Went to
i New York With Two
Young Men.
Will Be Glhd to Get Back Home.
Annie McNamara, 20 years old, of
Bridgeport, is a prisoner at the East
Thirty-fifth street station, New York,
charged with abducting Oraanna Wil-
son, 15 years old, of. the same place,
who is in the care of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
This is the ignomihious ending to the
romance of two girls who longed for
the gayety of the metropolis. They
were friends in Bridgeport and often
planned together to go to New York
and see the sights. They became ac-
quainted with two very jolly young
men about six weeks ago, around
whose prosaic profession of gasfilting
a thorough familiarity with New York’s
charms cast n. romantic glamor.
Without much trouble the two jolly
young men persuaded the girls to ac-
company them to New York,’ and the
four took furnished rooms at the cor-
ner of Twenty-sixth street and Third
‘ avenue. The very next day they found
themselves deserted by their protect-
ors. .
Then the sight seeing began in earn-
est. With not a friend in the great
city, with not enough money to return
home, the girls were in a desperate
state. What little cash they had soon
dwindled away. Then, piece by piece,
their poor little trinkets and finery
were pawned, and then came begging.
Their friends in Bridgeport had
meanwhile notified the police, and a
general alarm was sent out with pic-
tures of the elder girl. Yesterday
Agent Thomas Agnew, of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil-
dren, found the girls in Cron & Mul-
hall’s saloon, at the corner of Twen-
tieth street and Third avenue, and no-
tified the police. The girls were separ-
ated, as stated above, and will be
“awful glad” to get back to Bridgeport.
They have had enough of New York.

Stamford Representative In-
. troduces a Bill in Which
All Persons Carrying
Life Insurance Are
. Interested.
For the Protection of Poiicy~Holders.
Representative Keneoly of Stamford
has introduced in the House a proposed
new law (which was referred to the In-
surance Committee), that is likely to
attract wide attention, and will as a
rule receive the hearty approval of
holders of life-insurance policies. This
is what it provides: “That all policies
of insurance made by fdreign and do-
mestic life-insurance companies shall,
as to any representation or warranty in
application for policy after the same
has been in force for one year be in-
contestible to the full amount thereof.
If, upon the maturity of any such poli-
cy during the life-time of the insured,
it is found that the insured was under-
stated in the application, the amount
of the insurance payable thereon shall
be such proportion of the amount of
the policy as the premium paid bore to
the premium required by the insurer
at the true age of the insured at the
time of the issue of “such policy. ,For
the purpose of this act contracts of in-
surance shall be deemed to be made in
the State Whenever the policy of insur-
ance shall be delivered in this State
either in person or by carrier, or has
been received by the insured in this
State through the malls of the United
States.
The receipt of the insurance pre-
mium upon now existing politicies for
one year after this act shall have gone
into efl'ecmshall operate and extend
the previsions thereof as to'after insur-
ance to all now existing insurance upon
to and received by the insurer, and all
such receipts of premium shall be con-
strued as an acceptance by the insurer
of the provision of this act as to all
such existing insurance. Every policy
hereafter issued in this State shall fob-
tain a stipulation on the part of the in-
surer that such policy is issued under
the terms of and subjected to the con-
dition herein contained. In case of re-
fusal of any insurance company to com-
ply with any of the provisions of this
act, such company shall be prohibited
from taking any new insurance in this
State until it shall have lodged with
the insurance commissioner its accep-
tance in writing of all of the terms of
this act. The act shall take effect fif-
teen days after passage.”
w Suicide ofa Bridgeport Man.
- The firm of Langdon &. Batchellor of
Bridgeport has learned that the man
who committed suicide at the Fontenau
Hotel, Quebec, recently, is C. Summer
Shreve, a salesman in its employ, who
has been missing since January 28. He
was 28 years old and despondency over
a chronic ailment probably caused him
to kill himself.
