Connecticut’s State Debt.
The report of State 'I'reusurer Henry for
the year ending June 30th, is out. The
net debt of the state stands at $3,209,828
reductir‘u: of $279, 73 during, the year.
The treasurer expects the. state revenues
the coming year will pay all state expen-
srs and make the usual lclying of state
tax on the towns unnecessary, thus saving
about $350,009 to the people.
The Hartford (warrant truly says that
the decision of State Treasurer Henry
to relieve. the towns of the state tax next
yrarmeans a great deal more than the
wople may think at first. It takes off a
burden of over $360,000. Turn to last
year's report on town indebtedness and
you will find that all the towns in the
state together paid the, suru of $549,719
as interest on their debts. No large town
estate have been incurred, but on the other
hind some tow us have paid off indebted-
ness and others refunded at large saving
in interest. It is safe to estimate next
Hat’s interest paid by all the towns at not
over $535,000 and equally safe to estimate
the state tax the towns would have bad
tr- pay at $375,000. Assume that those
in: tin: figures, then the towns, by relief
from this tax, will save 5-7 of their entire
interest paying at. In other words abolish-
l!:,_;‘ the state tax renews them of the bur-
rl-u of5-7 of their town debts. Careful
ahaluistralicn of the treasury, aided by
rev; ilLWS, has practically lifted from the
terms of Connecticut all but 2- of their
metrts. {This does not; refer to city debts.

The following pathetic story of the great
autlun‘ess’ mental condition comes in a des-
patch from Hartford, her present home. It.
Will be read with tearful interest by the
thousands who have been charmed by the
genius of her pen :— Mrs. Harriet Beecher

A Shame.
The Norwich Bulletin rises to remark
/
that every senator and representative in the
congress of the United States ought to be
compelled to take a trip to Stoniugtou—ar
their own expense—and take a look ..r Sol.
omen L. Barlow in the peorhouse, and there
because of their inexcusable and contempti-
ble refusal to do a single easy act ofjustiee.
Then they ought to be required to listen to
a reading of a full list of similar cases which
have occurred in other towns and in other
States, before they are allowed to go back to
their own easy chasrs at the t‘apitol.
The Bulletin is entire‘y right. A hund-
red years ago the French government paid
this country in full all its claims fordarnagtni
done by French erusiem to our commerce.
Over and over again attempts have been
made by presidents, by secretaries, by indi-
vidual members of congress, to have the
money turned over to its rightful owners,
the claimants whose ships were despoilcd.
Report after repor has been made, and every
one in favor of doing the right and honest.
thing. But that right and honest thing
hasn‘t been done. though a century has
elapsed since the claims were made.
It is astonishing that these just claims
cannon be justly dealt with. The matter is
as scandalous and sad as some 0ftl1"p€l‘-
formances of the English court of Chancery.

How a. Congressman Lives.
(it-n. E. S. Osborne, Congressman from;
the twelfth Penesylvania district, coutri- '
butes an article to a Wilkcsbarre, Pan, Peri-
odical, which says:
“For a. (.‘ongrcssnnur to live in the Capi-
tal—that is. to make even a very mediocre
figure in society -he must spend an amount
equal to at least twice his salary. I should
think $515,000 a year would hardly go far in
giving anything like a prestige. I mean, of
course, the average Congressmen, the person
who has neither brillianey nor seeial stand-
ing to commend him. It is a fact, and a
regretnble one. that :t ('ongressman is meas-
ured by the money he spends not; by his
abilitv or merit. Take the average Con-
gressman who cr'nleavors to live within his
modest salary and he lives in a very unpre-
tentious way. A cheap boarding house, say
from $8 to $10 per week (a boarding house
equal to a clerk’s boarding house in Phila-
tcrnporary home. His
social life is a narrow one, as must necessar-
ily be the life of a Representative who has
no wealth to squander. He is a fit prey of
the lobbyist, an easy snlgect for shrewd Job-
bers, for he. sees the others living in clover
and knows that. it is within his reach, and
the temptation is not. always resisted. But
take it all in all, the Congressmer. do not al-
ways live ‘liigb.’ not. in the elegant. style
which newspaper correspondents delight in
picturing thcm. Very few if any, of them
save any money out of their salary. It is
possible for a man to live, out. his standing
is impaired and his prospects damaged be-
yond repair. There is no reason why a
man could not live within his means beyond
that of social pleasure.”

fluence on the minds of the multitudes

unique. This latest effort of hers is pro-
nounced by the book reviewers as one of
her best, and is being welcomed by an
extraordinarily large sale. Houghton,

A Hartford inventor, W'illiam Gray,
employer! at Pratt & Whitney’s, has, says
the Com-ant, adder] another to the clear
list of automatic devices where you drop
your coin in the slot and get your money’s
worth right away. This time its the tele-
phone, of all things least likely, one would
say, to yield to that sort of automatic per-
suasion. The scheme is this: A trans-
mitter and other telephone outfit are set
up in any public place. John Smith, for
instance, not a subscriber, comes along
and wants to semi a message to anyone
who has a telephone. He goes to the
instrument and calls up Central and asks
for the arithmetical alias of his acquain—
tance. Central gets the party, and then,
before the conversation opens, tells Smith
to put his money in the slot—if to talk in
Hartford, ten cents; if out of town,
twenty five cents. The coin goes down
the slot. and rings a hell by electricity at
the Central office—one ring for ten cents,
and a different ring for twenty-five cents,
so that the operator knows what has been
put in. After getting that signal the con—
versation is allovved to go on.
Wilton is basking in the luxury of
another sensation. It appears from the
evidence that one Carl Anderson, a Swede
who had for several months been employ-
ed about the. premises of Mrs. Turner,
widow of the late Dr. Joseph E. Turner,
got drunk on Sunday and coming home
assaulted Mrs. Turner and then her
daughter, Miss Gertrude Turner, 'striking
her with his fist. The young lady scream.
ed, whereupon her friend Miss Emma
Gregory, who happened to be present ran
to her assistance and bravely confronted
the rum crazed man. She grabcd him by
the collar of his coat and dragged him
away from Miss Turner when he turned
upon her and beat her with his fist. A
boy was speedily despatched to Mr. Mid-
dlebrook’s, a short distance away for as-
sistance Mr. G. V. Lott, who boarded
with Mrs. Turner, came in at this junc-
ture and succeeded in inducing Anderson
to go to bed and the melee was over. At.
the usual hour Mr. Lott retired apparently
in his usual health, but the next morning
he failed to come down stairs to break-
fast and an investigation showed that he
was dead in his bed, presumably a victim
to an overdose of chloroform, to the use of
which he was addicted. It is thought the
excitement incident to the chdc's insur-
rection so worked upon the nerves of Mr.
Lott that ho unintentionally took .8 larger-
dose of chloroform than usual and went
into the sleep from which he could not.
awake. He was about 65 years of age.
Next morning the brute was paid off and
permitted to depart on the promise that
he would never visit these parts again.

: ior Court, who executed an order which he
i had announced, two weeks ago, that. he
; would make. At that time Judge Fenn di-
rected the clerk to serve printed notice on
,’ the attorney that he would call the entire '
. docket of all cases pending before January
‘ 1888, and that in each case, unless the attor-
l neys could give a good reason why the case
had remained So long in court, he would or-
der it to be stricken from the docket.
Of this class of slumbering chronic cases
there were, it scents, two or three hundred,
and it was a healthy as well as vigorous act
on the part of thejudge to clear the decks
of all useless old lumber.
Therelwere in the whole, including the
E jury and court list,373§cases, the natural ac.
' cumulatioii of business, as well as of years of
neglect (or something else) on the part of
the lawyers. Of these 373 cases, no fewer
than ‘254 were to-dzry swept out of exrstence,
l at one fell swoop by Judge Feun. Some of
3 these—old divorce cases, or cases of one
kind and am: her which, though settled, the
attorneys bud neglected to remove from
court—had been on the docket for ten or a.
dozen years.
Thus stands the situation today: Erased
in the court list, 239; erased in thejury list,
15; making a total of 254; which leaves re-
maining on the jury list, 35; remaining on
the court list, 84; total, 119. It. is a whole-

Especrally noticeable is a beautiful pin in

line of miniature pins and brooches is one
of unusual beauty, both as regards the

Personal attention is given to the selecting
