 Connecticut will hardly get more than one public building from this congress There are forty-two states to provide for now and requests for public buildings com ing in from all of them. Meriden is most likely to get the building consigned to Connecticut, not because Senator Platt's E home is there, but because it is the largest of the towns applying, and the slze of the place is a controlling factor in this problem

New York Evening Post : The gift of g quarter of million of dollars in cash to Wesleyan University, by Daniel Ayres, M. D.. l.. IL. D., of Brooklyn, is the larg- est contribution to education made during the present collegiate year, and from its circumstances, one of the most remarkable of recent benefactions. Dr. Ayers has shown rare appreciation of the needs of a growing college by imposing no conditions npon his gift, and both he and the lnsti- tuition which he thus enriches are to be congratulated on this escape from the sor- did vanity of many donors, who seek more to glorify themselves than to contribute to the advancement of liberal education. This money goes to increase the general endow- ment fund of the college, and here it will do the greatest good.
 A bold attempt to rob the Great Falls l (N. H.) national bank was made Friday evening. Dec. 18th. Two men seized the cashier in the bank lobby as he was going home, and asked him to open the vault. 1 He explained to them that the time lock was on, and that it would be impossible to unlock the vault till o'clock in the morn l ing. The would-be robbers becoming sat- tsfied that this was true, concluded not to wait. They "went through" MT. Stickney, however, taking his $500 watch and $3 in money.
 ! Nineteen Massachusetts cities recently voted on the question of granting licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquor during the coming year, and ten of them decided in the negative-a'gain of three over last year. The result was surprise in some cases, and all sorts of reasons were asctibed ]; but some pretty we'll informed people say that the secret ballot is one chief cause, because the voter was enabled to declare his preference without its being known.
 Hartford Times It all looks very strongly as if John Culver. the obstinate juryman, was paid and used by the back CTS of Cronin's murderers. His conduct in the jury-room seems to justify this con- clusion. One good thing about this trial is the dismissal of number of Clan-na- Gaels from the Chicago police force. They had been swearing falsely to shield the murderers, or otherwise doing what should cost them their places.

VARIOUS towns, including our enterprising suburb, Rockville, are boosting of having the first female pharmacist in the state. We beg to inquire if any state pharmacy licenses an tedate that of Mrs. Taft in this borough. Certainly none in Rockville, forever since the passage of the law requiring such in bor- oughs and cities until this month Rockville has been only country town, in which a license was not required by law. Mrs. Taft has been legally qualified pharmacist ever since the passage of the law requiring such to be licensed, and was qualified and active in the business for years previous to that.

THE ''jury fxers" in the Cronin case at Chicago may not have got in their work, but the very plain case presented has resulted in what is very clearly compromise verdict
 Report says that eleven of the jurors were Obstinate" The verdict condemns Dan Coughlin, Patrick O'sullivan and Martin Burke to life imprisonment as murderers, John Kunze to three years confinement, and acquits John E. Beggs. It is an astonishing verdict, for if the prisoners were guilty at all it is one of the worst grades of murder. It was clear enough that the prisoners felt re- ieved at their escape from merited hanging.

Bates was then made the subject of a plea
for release. He had made the informations
for spite, and proved by witness that he
knew nothing of Alderman Doughty giving
Alderman McInerny $40 to settle the
Hammerley case. He said he was depu-
tized constable in the Eighteenth ward
and after some consideration Magistrate
Hyndman discharged him. Frank Mccall

that he had been threatened into his connec-

lence by asking to make statement Mag
istrate Hyndman advised him to hold his
peace, as he had no attorney, and after some
thought Mccall agreed to go to Jail in the
default of bail without a hearing.
Counsel for Aldermen Maneese, Doughty
and Callen made strong pleas for their re-
lease, but Magistrate Hyndman said that a
jury was the proper tribunal in the light of
the evidence of the hearing. He therefore
announced that he would hold Maneese,
Doughty, CalIen and freddy" Mccall to
court in s., 500 bail. Mr.. Wagner, of the
Sixteenth ward, went Doughty's bail, but
Maneese, Callen and Mccall went to Jail in
default of bail. On the way in from the
Nineteenth ward station, Alderman
Maneese, who was manacled to CaIlen,
crouched in the bottom of the wagon in hid
