A Thanksgiving Story.

r. ".
Solemnly the big bell was toling in the
village church. while small procession
moved towards the cemetry. Slowly. and
with measured tread the pallbearers carried
a coffin on their shoulders. keeping time
with the chimes of the bell If,
Foremost in the procession walked tall.
slender man. his head bowed low on his
breast. No tears 0immed his eyes. no sobs
shook his frame, but the firmly compressed
lips showed that his grief was too deep for
outward show.
Arrived at the cemetry, the coffin was
carefully lowered into the grave, and with
a soft thud the earth fell upon it. Solemnly
the aged minister read the service for the
dead: Dust thou art. and unto dust shalt
thou return. Jesus Christ shall then awake
on the great Judgement Day. Amen"
With bare and bowed heads the group
around the grave stood silent. The fresh
spring breeze, laden with the sweet scent
OF the lilac blossoms, plays among the
leaves; the sun shines with warmth and
brightness from the blue armament and the
birds chirp joyOusy in the branches over
head as if all were gayety and happiness,
and grief and death were unknown.
One by one the men departed. and the
tall. slender man stood alone. The grave
digger hesitated in his work of filling the
grave. out of respect to the bereaved man.
"Ihe Lord gave. and the lord took,
blessed be His NAME" at length the grave
digger reverently said
The tall. silent man slowly raised his
head. and looking at the man standing on
the other side Of the grave. said:
Ibid you Speak?"
The man made the same reverent obser-
walton, adding:
1T is a hard blow to yOu Mr.. Blanchard.
but the will and the power is the Lords.
Let us bow to it,"

Ere our next issue another of THE MIR
ROR's most able contributors will have de-
parted from this house of penance. We
mean Tammany. Almost since the first
issue of this paper he has been one of its
most faithful friends, and has probably done
more than any other one writer in building
up it's good name. He has devoted large
part of his spare time between working
hours to writing for the paper. and this
too without hope of being recompensed. as
he does not expect to become all inmate of
prison again. 1t is easy enough to write
an occasional article but when it comes to
writing one every week or two weeks for
several years it becomes work of the most
eXacting nature and there are few willing
to do it without tangible reward Ofall he
has written there has never been a sentence
that could be considered offensive by any
fair minded person. He has never been
pedantic or egotistic but always modest
and reasonably deferential Every one
seems to have been pleased with his original
thought and way of expression. He will
leave here followed by the good will of all.
and we hope his spirit of industry may
carry him to success beyond the walls.

WARDEN HATCH,S ADDRESS,

We have devoted the greater portion of
our space this week to the address of War
den II. f. Hatch, which was delivered be-
fore the late Prison Congress. at Nashville,
Tenn. We make no apology for doing so.
for we feel that the space could not be
otherwise as well filled. TO those who are
interested in prisons it will give food for
thought and be to them a source of enlight-
eminent. To those who are welded to the
cries differing with those set forth IN the
address. it may be the means of causing
them to pause and think they may be pur.
suing the wrong course after all. No doubt
some will say that Warden Hatch is pro-

BE Careful Where You Step.

A nobleman. in deep meditation. walking
i'm his garden. heard SHIFTING noise be-
hind him. and turning discovered his little
son endeavOring to walk in the footsteps of
his father. We should be careful where
our feet tread for others following may be
misled. We leave footprints all along the
path of life. Will they lead to safe home
or to ruin? If our footsteps are right. our
lives will be right, and if our lives are right
then we need have no fear of our little sons
going astray when they stretch their little
limbs to get their feet into orr footprints.

THE TOWN ELECTIONS.

The Prohibition Amen dment Question
and tho "Little Town Meeiinxs''-The
Prohibition vote-The Closing of sa-
looms.
The town elections take place to. day. The
constitutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors
as beverage will be voted on throughout
the State generally, but New Haven votes
only on the amendment. Also, in some of
the towns, local option will be voted on
''license" or emo license"
The prohibitionists have been actively
working the State, and although the most
sanquine and enthusiastic do not expect
ghost of a chance of carrying the State,so far
as heard from, large increase in the prohi-
bition vote is confidently expected by leading
workers in the cause.
The little town meetings occur to~day all
over the State and town officers are to be
chosen, and In Hartford and Waterbury city
officers are to be chosen.
Prosecuting Agent Niles, having carefully
examined all the statutes having any relation
to the subject and passed during the last
twenty years, has concluded that no place
the proprietor of which has license which
allows drinking on the premises can be kept
open to-day without violation of law He
will employ no spoilers, as he has no use for
such evidence as they would give, but he ex-
poets the police to inform him of all cases
where there is sufficient evidence for bring.
ing prosecutions.
The police authorities have notified the
saloon keepers of the city that they must
keep closed to-day, they regarding It as an
election day. On the other hand these hay
ing charge of the polling places do not re-
gard it an election in the sense that
the secret ballot will be required. The
liquor men claim that it is not an election
aud that they should not be required to
close, and that if 1t is deemed an election it
will not be legal unless the law requiring the
ballot is enforced. The real point at issue,
as some claim, is that If the secret ballot is
not used the vote in New Haven may be
thrown out and thus the amendment carried,
The town registrars, after consulting with
tine Mayor and Town Agent Todd, have con-
cluded that the polling booths will not be re-
quired for to days voting.
