THE Connecticut Democratic State
Central Committee at its late meeting
in Hartford, voted, II to 2, to cut out
absolutely all reference IN support. of
tariff reform in the call which is to be
issued for a State convention. Thus is
Cleveland's free trade message repudi-
ated by his own party in a state that he

ceruloid sh..thinr for Ship.

Among the various uses of celluloid It
would appear to be a suitable sheathing
for ships in place ofcopper. A French COM
pany now undertakes to supply the SUBJ
stance for this at nine francs per surface
meter and per millimeter of thickness, In
experiments by NJ. Butaine, plates Of eel
luloid applied to various vessels in Jan
uary last were removed five or six months
after, and found quite intact and free
from marine vegetation, which was
abundant on parts uncovered. The color
OF the substance is i~ndestructible; the
thickness may be reduced to 0.OOO3 meter:
and the qualities Of elasticity, solidity, Inn

REPUBLICANS everywhere should show

"TAR1Ep REFORM" the false cry of the
Democracy, isnow correctly interpreted
to mean free trade for all articles that
'ome in competition with the products
Of the northern states, and protection for
the sugar, rice and cotton of the south.
That is the substance of the Mills bill,
which is the administration measure and
the n upon which the party is baslng
its political hope.

Probabl, no man IN Jersey City is more
thoroughly identified with its interests and
welfare than Henry Lembcck, the senior
member of the brewing firm of Jembeck d
Betz.
A proof Of this Is the fact that Mr.. Lembeck
has opened five handsome streets at his own
expense and donated them to the city.
At one time when the owner of q strip Of
shore front would not allow the city to build
o sewer through 1t, Mr.. Lembeok paid $40. 900
for the tract md the sewer was built. Many
similar instances OF the public spirit have
made him an object of general attention and
respect.
Mr.. Lembeck is In every way q self made
man. He was born at Osterwick. Germany,
in 1926. His first wages were earned az clerk
i'll q grocery store. Later he served in the
German army. and when his term expired
came to America. He embarked in business
for himself, turned his attention to ale and is
now one of the wealthiest men in the State.
His home on Columbia place, Greenville. is
without n doubt the handsomest house in
Jersey City.
Mr.. Lembeck Is q Democrat, and likes a
little of politics. He has served two terms in
the Board of Works. onco as its President.
He was President of the Hudson County
Liquor-Dealers' Association until n month
ago. when he resigned. He IN now one of the

The Startling Eject Produced BY Halt n
Girl In n Window.
The ingenuity and variety Of advertising
devices that strike one in a stroll about tow
are many, and, 10 the itinerant rustic, amaz-
ing.
One Of tho museums, Of the dime order,
whatever the admission fec may be, has
rather n startling one. In the large central
section of q huge window Is a sort of cabinet.
lined with black. In this cabinet, on q slen-
der stand of wood, such as supports n
:" form" in millinery stores, Is the upper
half of n woman. The young female is some
what comely, q blonde, Of course, and her
neck and arms are bare. The rest Of her is
lone up in q blue satin corset.
THAT is all there Is to the woman. and
though one is accustomed to this sectional
exhibition of the gentler sex in shop. win
dows, especially where corsets are sold, the
striking feature of this young fractional
woman is that she is alive.
She moves her arms, turns her head, does
crochet work. and occasionally passes her
hands under the sides of the corsets in o
careless way to show that there is nothing
there. The effect is quite startling. Three
or four gas-lights shed q brilliant glare on
the figures. II must be extremely ~uncomfort-
able for her to have to stay there 80 long. but
she probably solaces herself by thinking of
her salary.
Generally tricks of illusion like this are
produced by having part of the figure con-
cealed in q framework of plate class. which
reflects the surrounding hangings, and hence
seems to be the sides of the compartment,
