Notes and Notings.
HARTFORD.

In our sister city of New Britain, tn trouble of F. & F Corbin moulders was ad justed Thursday, by arbitration, to the sat isfaction of both parties. The men wh' were blacklisted are all to be re-instateC by week from next Monday. The mold CTS of the malliable iron shop are still out
 The ladies of St. Peters parish Lanc League, in anticipation of a large gather ing of the patriotic, Wednesday evening at Harbison's hall, are hard at work II preparation for the event. The devotion of these apostles of freedom should be rec ognized and rewarded by generous turn cut of all who are capable of appreciating disinterested loyalty to a good and glorious cause. H<
 In the legislature during the week Sen ator Staub introduced memorial to con gress, praying for the protection of Connec ticut farmers against the importation of Sumatra tobacco The Senator is himself engaged in the tobacco business, therefore in pushing this matter he is clearly within the line of duty, that is, the Senator is "minding his own business" and getting paid for it at the same time. He IS the one who a few years ago, opposed the pas sage of the 10 hour bill for the protection of our women and children in the factory pens Notwithstanding, Senator Staub calls himself democrat.
 Representative Scanlan, of Hartford, in troduced, on Thursday, very important amendment to the law of last session oblig- ing employers exacting notice to quit v44a-easrrfoy5es, Co give Chs same in return before discharge. The amendmnet provides for board of arbitration to decide whether those discharged for alleged misconduct, ineficency, etc, have been justly dealt with. Heretofore, while the statute seemed to be for the protection of the employee, really it favored the employer, for the ''ex- captions" often permitted him to make it one-sided.
 Ullie Akerstrom is again crowding Allyn hall Monday evening she divided honors with the man that defies the Tightening (Jersey), and attracted as many to Allyn hall as he did to the opera house. But Ullie can ''knock ort'' of time John L. com pletely, for where he can stand for day, she holds out for two weeks. Although not cast away up with the highest stars, it is difficult to imagine how the characters she personates can be represented truer to the reality. Manager Charvat has a mint in Miss Akerstrom, while he is truly "boy- cotting" the high priced shows.
 The conversational lectures of Rev. Mir. Kimball, every Monday evening at Unity hall, increase in interest as they approach
 
 commenced last year with the evolution of the stellar worlds, especially those of our own solar system. This season has been devoted to the study of the formation of the earth with all it's different phenomena in the light of the very latest discoveries of science. Last Monday evening was de- voted to the cause of earthquakes, which the speaker elucidated with diagrams, and showed how the thickness of the crust of 011,t yhnr earthquake occurred, could be mathemati cally demonstrated. Next Monday eve ming the formation of the different strata of rocks will be considered. These lectures are free, and full of interest and instruc- tion Those who do not attend miss rare treat. ~
 The K. of L. ssCranks.''
 (As recited by "ALEcK , Jimmy turn the crank. and turn it slow, And watch your work as along we go. Whatever we do, we must do it we'll, While we sing of the "cranks" in the K. of L. Let the principal cranks now stand up in a
 line
 There's Britton, and Dillon, and Baker and
 Pyne.
 You miserable creatures you look shaky
 and trembly, And you ought to be shook by the entire
 Assembly.
 Now what have you done in the last dozen
 years?
 But make bosses quake and shed bitter
 tears,
 By working for Labor, with intellectual
 pranks-
 You deiected, broken-dow K. of l., cranks. You were in at the birth of "1977;" While some damned it to sheol, yOu held it
 to heaven;
 You labored and prayed and done your
 work well
 You determined cranks of the good K. of L. You crankiest of cranks who on insanity
 border,
 You have done all you could to injure the
 order
 For when you first started you had tuH
 score,
 And now you have d,cimdled to 1000 or
 more !! Let the kickers all kick, let the howlers all
 howl, Let the biters all bite, let the growlers all
 growl,
 Let Outside opposition go right straight to- Let them go anywhere but in the dear
 K. of l..
 Go on, you grim cranks as you've gone on
 before,
 Agitate! Educate, get recruits by the
 score
 And when we've 10000 or more in cur
 ranks
 We will say, "Look you here, 'tis the work
 of them cranks."
 Now Jimmy let up, the machines out of
 gear,
 Get out vamoose climb away to the rear; But wait-give her yet one or more extra
 yanks, Till we shout "Huzza for the Knights and
 their cranks."
