HE Telegram, Hartford's blackmailing ma chine, which was recently squelched by May or Bulkeley, and revived again for campaign purposes, again comes into notice. It had assailed the publishers of the Hartford Sun day Globe, and trio of them horsewhipped Editor Birdsan one evening last week upon the street. Birdsan fred pistol shot at his assailants, and afterwards prosecuted them. Public sympathy is with the whippers. There are too many Birdsalrs, and perhaps the laws of newspaper libel are none to severe.

Hartford Post, 20th: The poverty of Hartford in the possession of really first class audience rooms will be relieved from tonight, on. The Governors Foot Guard Armory will be dedicated to music and art tonight by the Symphony concert, and henceforth it will take it's place as a gath ering place for the people. Roomy, well ventilated, and of capacity which will render it possible for excellent organiza- tions in the musical and theatrical line to play here at profit. Well managed, as there is every reason to expect that it will be, there can be no doubt of the success and the appreciation of the new armory concert hall.

THE last election in Connecticut had at tendant fully it's usual amount of bribery and vote buying. Usually little is said on either side, and one wonders if the Hartford Times hasn't it's tongue in it's cheek and both eyes hard a-winking when it writes it's terrible edi- torials that are just now so amusing people who saw how matters were worked on election day. One of the duties of the next legisla- ture should be to adopt an effective secret ballot law, one that will'prevent any one voter from knowing how any other voter votes. This can be done, and it is the only remedy for merchandise in ballots. The class of men who sell their votes would never be trusted goods are delivered, will never dare to risk paying the price.
 THE matter of grade crossings ought to have the early attention of legislatures. The peo- pie want something done about it. Every year valuable lives are lost, and the only wonder is that more are not killed at these man traps, so numerous in nearly every town in the state. One who is obliged by the du- 6ACo OA H1OACoo4OA OO O0 O14fA1S dOOuI dI all hours of the day and night, recently wrote us:
 There is no doubt in my mind as to what should be done. The grades should be changed within year, the expense to be as fairly apportioned as possible. The expense is of course the only obstacle. The R. R. companies, you and I, know they should be removed, and that the mere cost in dollars and cents of the change cannot offset the loss of valuable lives. I realize the danger more wildly than you can. Often being deprived of sleep in the practice of nay profession, there are times when overcome with fatigue I must fall asleep in my carriage, and this you will find to be the experience of every coun- try physician, as likely to occur near cross ing as anywhere. Next to an intoxicated man, probably one of value to the world, ab- sorbed with business or intellectual pursuits, would be likely to be picked up by an ex- press train on one of these death-traps. Then there are women and children not used to managing horses, and little children whom fear would paralyze.

Another grade-crossing disaster was mar rowly escaped at New Britain Sunday fore noon about 1O.3O o'clock. As the gates were up and no warning of danger was given, a horse-car driver started across with a heavy load of passengers. A section of a freight train then started to back, and al4 though the driver put on his brakes and turned his horses aside, the front portion of car was struck and the inmates badly shaken. The stopping of the train pre- vented further disaster. - - -.------ =

The way 10 Handle sheep.

There is n right way and wrong way,
q hard wsy and an easy way, an aN kxard
way and skillful way, to catch ard han
de sheep. A great many men VIII essch
the sheep by the wool On the bs>.lS with
both hands, and lift the animal clear from
the ground by the wool only htrhaEars
Let some ereat giant grasp yoa by the hair
of your head and lift yoa froIn tse ground
by the hair only Weula you rot struggle
md squiTm worse than the lHute eheep
does when lifted by the wool? And would
there not be complaint Of sore bead for
week or two? If yos do not believe it,
try the experiment..
We have slaughtered a great plany sheer
in years past, and, when removing the pslt
Of such sheep as had been handled by the
wool We never failed to obssrvc that be-
meath the skin, wherever the animal had
been caught by the WOel, blood had s5ttiesi.
In many instances the Rkin had been srpsr-
ated from the bo6y so that inflammation
was apparent. We have known proprie-
tors OF sheep TO be so strict in regard TO
handling them that they would order
helper from the premises ifhe were to catch
a sheep by the wool On any part of the
body.
Some owners of sheep direct their help
e1s thus: when about to catch sheep,
move carefully toward the one to be taken,
until YOU are sufficiently near to spring
quickly and seize the beast by the neck
with both hands, thea pass one kand around
the body, grasp the brisl1st, and LIT the
sheep clear from the ground. The wool
must not be pulled. Iftho sheep is heavy
one let one hand and wrist he put around
the neck, pressing the arm against the leg'
We have always handled shcep in the
way alluded to. We never grasp the wool
Oilers seize the sheep by kind leg, then
throw one arm around the bGdy, and take
hold Of the brisket with one hand. But
ewes with lambs should never be caught
by the hind legs, unless they are handled
with extreme care. When sheep are han
died roughly, especially if the wool is pull
ed, the small bruises and injuries will rem
dor them more wild and difficult to handle.
4 court in Georgia Las recently rendered
decision in which church people are in
terested. 4 Baptist society building i new
nhurch planned steamboat excursion to
increase the building fund The owners of
the boat engaged for the occasion did not
fill their part of the contract, and those in
charge of the excursion sued them for
breach of contract. But the defendants set
up their plea that a church organization
has no authority 10 conduct excursions as
q means Of making money, and, therefore,
cannot enforce any b3rgIins 1t may make
in pursuing an unlawful line of business.
The judges held that the plea was good.
That church must derive its income from
such property rs it may own, and from
voluntary contributions. 1t may make
bargains Incidental to an excursion of the
congregation, undertaken Tor devotional
purposes, celebrations, or recreation; and
possibly might hire conveyance needed
