now residing among us delivered an opening address before our Horticultural society, it having just then been founded. In it he spoke of the remaining Pierpont elm or, as is was then called, Bristol elm,'' and poet ized his allusIon by the following supposi- tious speech: ''Methinks hear from the rustling leaves of the most majestic tree which adorns our public Green words like these: Five generations ago to testify the affection of grateful parish to it's faithful pastor, his people united their gifts to erect him 8 dwelling All to whom the means were given brought with alacrity their offer ings, and soon the parsonage was reared in tasteful, and even in ambitious style. I was then sapling in neighboring wood. Hard by my natal spot dwelt poor parishionsr (William Cooper by nameJ who, having no other offering to make, removed me with pi- ous care and fixed me here. that I grew might cast grateful shadow before the good mans door. Al the parish festival, when the parsonage was done, I heard loudly commemorated the noble services of those who towards the generous work cast in literally of their abundance. Yet none were there to speak of The poor mans gift. But have lived to see the last yestige of the mansion disappear, and few of those who pass beneath my bending trunk ever heard of it's existence, while I stand here to speak forth the humble charity of a poor but virtuous man, and yet hope to Oub- UEafo uIhnY d NluloE OldSL LO T6lL6- rate the tale to unborn generatioDs' '"
 The date of the removal of this last Pierpont elm we have been unable to as- certain When removed it's body was found to be sound, and it was sawn into blocks which were variously scattered one of which for years was in possession of the Foster family. In 1924 both elms were standing when our fellow citizen Henry Aus tin, then young man, assisted in putting up the red cedar fence now before the Bris- tol mansion, and he relates an amusing incident connected herewith. An Irishman on bringing the cedar for the fence carelessly run his cart against hitching post of Judge Daggett, who lived nigh, and broke it down. The judge. who saw it. asked the man who was his employer? ''Mr. Tomlinson," he replied '"Tell Mir. Tomlinsop," sternly re- joined the judge, ito come here and settle with me for your breaking down my post" "Faith an I'll do no such thing!" retorted Pat, in lugubrious tones, 'it will only bring mo into trouble, and the Lord knows I've enough throubles in me own family without bringing on meself any more" At this un- expected sally the judge was convulsed with laughter, and feeling fully repaid said no more for he had secured another original comical incident for his ever full conversa- tional repertoire.

swIaDLkR. BE ATTACKED.

D f4nOAE kGA xO ESkk AEEASEA kG0 It is cheering to learn that an effort Is to be made by the Interior dspartmsnt and the government attorneys to put a stop to the systematic swindling carried on by some of the pension claim agencies in Washington These agencies send out attractive circulars, filled with false statements, by which the re- cipisnts are made to believe that they have claims on the government, and then they pay the sums asked for fees only to find out after months of waiting, that their application was never considered. Graat quantities of such circulars are mailed each month, and since the publication of the list of pensioners the agents have been reaping a rich harvest Some of.sthem employ scores of clerks, and so easy are their operations that, it is said, one saloon keeper who has no bnsiness before the pension ofics by simply sending ont cir culars, boasts that he receives several hun dred dollars month. Of the PA, 900 cases pending, 2o4, coo are held until the claimants can present further proof of their rights to pensions. Thousands of them have been in- duced to file claims which are pslpably in- sufficient, and when more proofs are de- manded they are unable to send them, lesv- ing only the agent the richer, for they in varfably collect their $1o in advance.
 Commissioner Bentley was, itis believed removed through the maneuveTs of pension agents with whose operations he interfered, and some haysThouRht that Commissioner Dudley was not as active against the swim ding agents as he might be. But the well informed Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says there is not good ground for thinking that Commissioner Dud- ley is not doing his duty. In several instances recommendations have been sent by him to Secretary Teller urging that agents be dis barred, with prcofs of the illegal business which they carried on They either never reached the Secretary, or in tho pressure of other matters have not received his attention ler's action. and the evidence in others is be ing prepared Postmaster General Gres- hams attention will also be called to the fraudulent use of the mails in this business. One other abuse will also be lighted and that is the habitual custom of agents to charge more than the $1O allowed by law for each case. Nearly every agent, many of them otherwise irreproaohabIe, has been guilty of this penal offense.
 It is late to attack these wrongs, but better late than never. It will be hard work to stop or greatly decrease the frauds, but deter mined eforIs can accomplish much Pension CTS, and those who think they ought to be pensioners. have undoubtededly been swia- dled out of vast amount of money by un- scrupulous claim agents. These agents should not be permitted to continue svindling with impunity.

THE CASE OF YOUNG CONVERT.
 It is very common trick with those thick-and-thin party papers which have be- come recent converts to liberal views to 1oud- ly assert that they have always been the
 boldest of independents and the broadest of liberals. When our ever-courteous neighbor
 the Palladium, whose consistent approval and persistent advocacy of party men and party measures has sometimes led people,
 most likely with cruel injustice to term it an
 organ, came out with a vigorous leader de-
 nouncing party nominations as the result of
 clique manipulation, we felt pleased sur- prise we could not refrain from expressing
 And now the Palladium surprises us again
 It rushes excitedly to the front and declares that it has always been the consistent ad- vocate of independent political action, and
 that it has mo private ambition to serve, no grudges to pay, no jsaIousies to pet. no hob bies to ride" besides saying many other good things of itself, which. with more modesty and better discretion, It might have left the public to discover. And it further adds that in it's long and disinterestsd service in the cause of non-psrtisan government it has not always had the most zealous assistance of the JoURNAI. AND COURIER, and intimates that we have been but umorous ally. We can of
 course make allowances for the bumptious- ness of 8 young convert, but we beg leave to suggest that we have not discovered
 that it is our mission in life to be the ally and assistant of the Palladium The real fact is, we have frequently disapproyed ofparty measures, and advocated local reform, in which we have not oHly not had the assist ance of the Palladium, but have been so un- fortunate as to incur It's distinguished op position. We can well rscellect when what the Palladium calls It's consistent. advocacy of independent political action led 1t to favor 8 scheme to amend the charter of the city of New Haven so that the Republican party would always have a majority of the execu- tive boards of the city government, no mat ter whether there was Republican majority in the city or not. That certainly was one occasion when the Palladium did not have our jealous assistance" nor, indeed, that of anybody else except the political cliques it now denouncss. If the Palladium can tell us of any measure or nomination emanatine from ''the regulars'' of the Republican party in this city that it ever denounced or even disspproved 1t will give us another s'uncom- mon plessure'' and it's readers @ very uncom- mon surprise. The Palladium also spsaks of certain professed organs of popular opinion which are too anxious to avoid giving offence to advertisers The Palladium is perhaps fortunate in not having much of that sort of temptation to resist.

Another band of Mormon missionaries has tinue to send out missionaries as fast as they have lately, good many parts of the world will get chance to hear about the bless ings of Mormonism. Mir. Hart, who has charge of the band, says that the mission work of the Mormon Church in Europe is advancing very rapidly, and that with each succeeding year the number of converts who cross the Atlantic and go to Utah is increas- ing Our people, Mir. Hart says are not un- derstood here in the East. Their faith and doctrine and objects are misconstrued in every way. Our church Is, in fact, reor- ganization of the Church of Christ as it ex- isted 1,s0O years ago. There is not a parti- cle of difference in it's purposes, the powers attending it. or the hatred of the people against it. As the ministers of former times were the greatest enemies of those who preached Christ, and bounded them until they lost their lives, so the Talmages of to- day are our bitter enemies, and the principal reason is that if cur system prevails they will lose their business; there will be no more salaries for preachers. These men who have come here to-day pay their own passage from Utah to their field of labor, and when they get there they will depend solely on Him whom they serve to provide for them what they need to eat and to wear, and it is fact that those who depend most fully on Him are the most successful missionaries. Those who have money sent them by friends make fewer converts than those who take no thought for the morrow.
