MERIDEN.

The Derby minstrels are superior to some of the professional troups, and gave com plete satisfaction.
 John Nancy was sentenced to six years in State prison for barn burning. He ap- pealed, and was then committed without ball.
 Whooping cough is now very prevalent, and scarlet fever is carrying off the little seven year old boy of Mr. Douglas over on the east side died with it this wesk.
 The boycott of the Morning. News is freezing it out of Meriden. Newsdealers and subscribers dropped it like hot potatoes when they got the sense of that last boy colt notice in THE EXAMINER.
 The Corner church without pastor, and the new Methodist church without an edi- fee, have pooled their issues, and hold union meetings in the lecture room each night, which is very brotherly and sen sible proceeding.
 You see how it is when business tact and enterprise are applied to farming. Our Meriden Changers, justly believeing that the State fair was a paying affair, packed | the annual meeting at New Haven, and voted to hold it here for the next ten years. Was there any flies on that? Now the other fellows are kicking themselves for being caught asleep ,n.
 Eloquent appeals have appeared in the local papers for public free library-di- rected to rich men, those who pride them selves on building up Meriden. No use, nc money in it. Those whom the labor of Meriden has fattetl up are only on the ''make and take" and don't learn to give till they die.
 B. w. Emerson, the New Hampshire test medium had full house last Monday night, at Circle hall, and gave remarkable clairvoyant proofs. The names of we'll known citizens were heard again as if in life, although they have long been on grave stones. The feature about his tests which is most satisfactory is that the spirits which purport to speak through him know their own names, and don't seem to have any ob- iection to giving them-a fact which makes other ghosts seem like runaway convicts.
 There may be another boycott soon. The priest of this parish has raised the price of weddings. Hereafter he wants ten dollars for his services on such occa- sions. This is rather high tariff on mar riage, but people will marry so long the world rolls around; and if the priests go on strike for more pay for the little they have to do, the people may organize for 1 cooperative action in this matter also, and get married by mutual consent according to law. in which case they will use their sense-to save their dollars.
 Peter Deignan, of Pratt street, died last Monday, and his funeral was followed the next day by that of his son Frankie, who died from lung fever. MT. D tignan had been sent to the New Haven hospital with the hope of getting something done to re- store him to health, but without avail. He had malaria in severe form, and while his afflicted wife was struggling at home with announcing her husbands death. The other children are sick with the whooping cough, which may go hard with the infant. The sorrowing wife and family may well receive the tender sympathy of their friends, who attended the funeral in great numbers

upon good authority too, that one Simons of Meriden, can give quite an interesting history of one of the above silver magnates. There is one man in this towu who seems to be making himself very obnoxious to a large majority of the people, and, although he does not keep a store, his name IS Storrs. Between the columns of the Sentinel and the late strike of the silver shop he has risen to prominent spot, although an un- viable one. His latest hits were to state for fact that the strikers would receive no benefit from the minstrel company, even should there be any money made, and also that David Sliney failed because he had trusted out $500 worth of shoe-leather to said in favor of the silver boys by this mans Milleristicated pen. It is a well known fact that Storrs has received a num- Der of presents for sliding his pen in the proper direction, and elso to forget things at certain times. Under these circum- stances it is the universal opinion that his power to do injury to innocent parties should be taken away from him. How this can be done we leave for others to answer.
 In last weeks Transcript they tell the public that MT. s. G. Scott was thrown on the mercies of the charitable for support That, to us, seems very strange, for to our knowledge MT. Scott offered a short time ago $2, 800 for farm in Squantuck, in ready money, and he also had a neat bank account back of that; and further, he has been boarding out the money he loaned to build over the house he boarded in, saying that he could get his money in no other way. There seems to be ground for an investiga- ton by the proper authorities. as he said before he died, ".arhey are f6bbing me. ]" Does that look like charitys Although steady church goer his name was not men, toned in the funeral sermon.
 In conversation with a well known mer- chant of this place the subject of the boy cott was introduced. He said it would damage nearly every firm throughout the would no doubt drive a good many into bankruptcy. He said further, that the say ings banks would experience the greatest share of the trouble, because the laboring men would run to the banks and draw on their deposits, which in turn would have to foreclose the mortgages held on the shops and manufactures. This would of course cripple all manufacturers who have mort gagged property. With all these points in view he said it was d. d shame that such man as Miller should hold the power to do so much injury to formerly harmo- ,nious community, simply to satisfy his ma jestic pride, in face of the fact that the strikers are demanding only that which was promised them. These were found to be the sentiments of several other well read and we'll educated men. With opinions of this kind growing in the community, and with proper assistance coming to the strik- ers' aid, the strike must be success, other wise it is dsath-blow to every man and woman who is compelled to work for liv ing. The Chinese must go, but Miller must go first.

 Charley Commerford said last Monday, when jubilant over the report in Sundays paper that the post office had dropped inte his hopper" that his opponent, Landlord Tremaine, Tainted dead away" at the news. Commerford also remarked that all restor- atives were useless, until telegram from Washington was read in Tremaine's ear, to the effect that Commerford had not been appointed. We have not learned whether at this news Commerford did or did not faint Certainly his beaver was cooked at a more nervous angle than before. The contest between these two for this position reminds one of the meeting of the two Irishmen:-''Good mornin', Pat!'' 'Me name is not Pat, but good morning, Mike!'' "Sure, me name is not Mike!" "Oh, be- gorrah! you thought I was Pat, and l | thought you was Mike, out its nayther of us." It may, in the post office, be ''nayth- err of these two aspirants.

Mark Twain as a Smoker.


Mr.. Clemens has some peculiarities. They
tell me he is one of the most nervous men in
che world He has constant difficulty in
keeping still, and somebody is obliged to go
with him to keep him busy playing billiards
or doing something else, so that he will not
have to be faced with the horrible alterna-
tive of sitting still Two seats are reserved
for Mr. Clemens in the drawing
room car on the train by which
he may travel One of these seats
is in the smoke-room and the other is in the
body of the car. As soon as Mr.. Clemens
finishes smoking his cigar he has to get up
and fly from the apartment, because he can
not bear the smell of tobacco smoke when he
is not producing it himself. So he sits
little while in the smoke-room, then trots out
to his other place in the middle Of the car,
and after he has been there half an hour or
so back he runs to the smoke-room again.
This is the way he goes on all day long

A Scene Not Revealed.

And now comes preacher who gives us
some specimens of recent eloquence. The
readers of The Drawer Will remember that
the late Bishop Gilbert Haven was reported
as saying, when dying of WEAKNESS, that he
expected to rest in heaven for a thousand
years with his head lying in the lap of his
dear vie Mary This poetic fancy made
its impression on the mind of worthy min
ister who had recently married a second
wife. Being called to preach funeral SER
mon, his new but second wife being present,
he gave lis ideas of the rest and bliss of
heaven, and warming up with his theme, he
exclaimed, 81 expect. in the language of the
Iamented Bishop Haven, to spend my first
thousand years in heaven with my head on
the lap of my first wife, What occurred
when the funeral was over and the parson-
age doors closed has not been revealed.

Hskenuer Rev.

Of Constantinople, Turkey, has opened for
exhibition at "a East Third street magnifi-
cent collection of antique and modern orien-
tai rugs and carpets. These rugs are the
finest ever brought to this side of the Allan
tic. The designs of many of them are
unique and decidedly pleasing. while the soft
and harmonious blending of colOrs. as well as
the soft, silky appearance is such as can only
be attained by extreme age. Among this
collection is the celebrated ''Lulife" rug.
woven in the MOslem year 1922, which has
historical value that is by no means
tritling. There are also number of rugs
of pure raw silk. Several Ladizal rugs, a
very rare ''Herat" mat. Daghistan. Circas-
sian, Boukhara. KizKillim. Feraghan, Shr
van rugs and carpets. A large collection of
Turkish, Persian. Arabian and HindOstan-
csc embroideries. bric-a- brac, etc. This ex-
hibition is well worthy Of an attendance, as
1t is probably the only collection of such
value that will ever be brought to the city.

Billy wilson's Exercise.

Billy Wilson is now in Chicago under
the training of Tom Chandler for his match
with McHenry johnson in this city, Dec.
2. An idea of the vigorous training through
which he will be put is obtained from a
letter from his trainer, giving the daily
rounds as follows:
put Wilson into active training yesterday
His work consisted of a short walk before
breakfast and after eating good meal of NUT
ton chops, etc.. q rest of two hours followed.
He then dressed himself in a short REFER
jacket, two good heavy flannel shirts and we
both started out for lively walk and run,
doing some fifteen miles through the South
park. After his return we gave him vgor-
Gus rubbing down and put him to rest for an
hour. After dinner he worked the striking
ball ten rounds and then SPARED with me-
This will be his usual daily work while here
He retres at $3.50 o'clock.
johnson was in pretty good condition at
the time he challenged Wilson, and is now
in training.so that the present prospect is
that both men will be in first-cIass condi-
ton at the time of the match.
