 The secret ballot bill introduced by Senator Cleveland of Hartford is the old envelope bill. slightly modified, with provisions for state envelopes, retiring 2 booths. etc.. but with no provision for the furnishing of ballots by the state. Because of that omission it finds little favor.
 The little town of Fairfield has the dis tinction of furnishing the two men who will be the most prominent in the house M parry n tho rhoi,. and Mir Gloves. on the floor. The latter will probably be chairman of the judiciary committee. Those who will aid him in doing the | talking on his side of the house have not yet come to the front. There are some good takers on the democratic side with regulations already acquired. The most prominent are Hyde of Hartford, Graves of Litchtield and ONeil of l Waterbury.

 The gavel which Speaker Perry will use is of historical interest. It was used by MT Perry's father. who was speaker of the house of 1859, and has been in the family since. It Is smaller than the gavels used by speakers in recent years, but will serve the purpose quite as well. It is relic that is highly cherished by the speaker of the present house. who vaues it as an heirloom and nemento of his father.

A Millionaire Luuatic,

The recent removal of William L. Palmer, the insane millionaire, to a private asylum in Middletown, N. Y., recalls the sad history of his career, which was formerly we'll known here abouts. His home was in Stonington and it was here that insanity manifested itself, owing partly to overstudy and partlyto grief at his mothers death He escaped 10 years ago from an asylum in Providence. but was recaptured in the Metropolitan later in New York, where he shot dead a policeman, when the latter came in his room to investigate some trouble between Palmer and the negro bell boy. For this act Palmer was sent to the Auburn asylum for life, under an indictment for criminal lunacy. but his friends have recently secured his re- lease to the private asylum, hoping that the change will benefit the unfortunate man.

 Trying to Break It.
 The relatives of Mrs Mary Hepple the old woman who was burned to death on Grand avenue, New Haven, December 2i, with their counsel. Green kendrick of Waterbury, appeared in the probate court yesterday and began their attempt to prevent Mrs Hepples will from going into effect.
 Mrs Hepple in her last will and testa- ment said she owned S2 600 worth of Northampton railroad stock, some New Haven Water company stock. and also had mortgage on the Grand avenue property in which she lived She left it all to her niece, Mrs Meeks of Milford The, contestant. Miss Alice Ford of w a. terbury. a niece, wishes to break the will on the ground that the testatriX was not of sound mind and memory when she made it.
 Mrs Alice Ford of this city and Agnes Smith of No 76 State street, New Haven, also nieces, said that they had called up on Mrs Hepple within two or three months of her death and that she didn t know them. She acted eccentric and out of her mind. She used to polish tho stove and do other things peculiar which led them to believe their aunt was out of her mind.
 The hearing was continued for one week

 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but we assure you business has been done with us exactly on this plan, while some agents chase customers meeting them at e5ery cross road in season and more often out of season. until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents. Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in and makes the sale. Avoid such.agents. They are considering your pocketbook more than the quality of the goods they are trying ..to sell you. We have no state agents, no county agents or town agents, because We combine all that ourselves under one head Manufacturers and state agents, and save you at least two profits.

Returning Good HDr Evil.

A strange scene occurred the other day at Sierck, on the Moselle. Herr Schmidt had a dog which he wished to ges rid of Rowing out into the middle of the siver, he fastened a stone round the dog's hesd and threw him into the water. The animal sank at once, but during his struggles the rope slipped the stone, and he again rose to the surface and tried to get back into the beat. His master, however, continued to push him back, but as the dog persevered he lost his patience, and, striking at him with his oar, lost his footing and fell into the water hinDelf. He was un. able to swim, but the dog, 0izing him by the coat, succeeded in bringing him to the land after having been washed away by the cur rent The dogs life was spared, we are happy to say.-Halls Journal of Health.

Why He Was Bounced.

In speaking of the removal of Ap- praiser Lewis McMullen of New York, whose head fell under President Cleve- lands axe yesterday, the New York Press says: McMullen's overthrow is generally believed to have been due to the demand of Special Treasury Agent Maurice F. Holohan. The appointment was made by President Cleveland, March 30, 1885, McMullen succeeding A. P. Ketchum. He then declared him. self to be voting democrat, but not an intense partisan. His selection angered the professional politicians.

Signs of a Hard Winter.
New York Star.

1--WE are going to have an early fall and
a long, cold, hard winter, remarked Samuel
Lovelace, an old Jersey farmer, to several
friends at the New Washington market
yesterday.
How do you figure that out ?" asked
one of the marketmen.
"ln the first place." the Jerseyman re-
piled, lust try the skin of any of your
fruit. You will find your apples and
peaches and grapes, and all your fruit, for
that matter, which is homegrown, with q
thicker and tougher skin than you have
seen for several years. That is one of the
indications. That is the way nature takes
care of her products. Last winter apples
and other fruits were so thin-skinned and
tender that it was hard to gather them
without bruising them, if you will remem-
Der, and we had and extraordinary mild
winter.
Corn is another of natures sign boards.
The ears this year are protected by thicker
and stronger husks than have seen before
for years, and talking with farmers up in
Pennsylvania 1 find it is the same way.
Wheat and rye straw are tougher, hay is
wirier and seed pods are better protected
than usual These are old farmers signs,
and they are good ones because they don't
come from any moon planting superstition,
but from actual observation year after year
by class of men whose interests lie in
keeping close watch of all of natures
moods"

A Self.Winding Clock.
Hartford Times. !


The New Haven Clock Company, after
year or two of experiment, have at last
perfected a piece of mechanism which, if
it does not realize the desire for perpetual
motion, seems at least to be a step in that
direction. They are now manufacturing
and about to put on the market a self
winding clock which can be retsiled at SIS.
The motive power is furnished by elec-
tricity generated by two LIE Blanche cells,
which do the work effectually for from
twelve to eighteen months without renewal.
The mechanism is simply in the extreme.
Much of the ordinary clock is omitted and
little remains save the scapement wheel.
The clock is wound every hour by cur
rent from the two cells of battery working
through pair of magnets. The main
wheel, which revolves once an hour, con-
meets the current at every revolution.
When the contact is first made and the
current passes through the magn-ts the
amsture is pulled down to the magnet
heads, drawing within an arm which winds
one tooth of the ratchet wheel which is
fastened to the box containing spring Of
the finest STEEL attached to the center
pinion. This operation is repeated for five
or ten seconds at the rate of three blows
second until the spring is wound and the
current is cut off by the passage around Of
the main wheel.

Woman as a Bank DepOsitOr.
TO- icago Tribune.l

Confession of Dearborn street bank
cashier: "a man in bank is not allowed
to talk about its business, and / reckon
that's right. But what you have just been
saying prompts me to tell you something
under cover. There isn't one depositor in
200 who will allow his wife to check
against his money. Occasionally q man
leaving town will come in and ask US to
honor his wife's checks to certain
amount. A woman doesn't seem to hava
any sense about money in bank, unless she
is her own depositor, and then she is apt to
be good deal of nuisance. She will
come down shopping for instance. She
buys bill at one house for $3.50 and she
gives check for that sum. She makes
purchases at another house to the amount
of So 80 and gives check for that. And
she goes on shopping half day, giving q
check for every purchase. And the next
day she comes to the bank and wants to
know if the checks have been presented,
and then she wants to know if we cant
balance up her book She wants to know
how she stands.
women depositors, fortunately, are few.
Most women prefer to keep their money il
a safety deposit vault, where they can 90
and look at it and count it over for their
own comfort. l know one bank presidents
wife in this city who has her own money
which her husband allows her. She won't
deposit it in his bank, and he told me one
day he was glad of it, She has her own
tin box in safety deposit vault"

ClOckmaker's Paradise.
philadelphia Record,

lFulIAOclpul6 hccOEu,J
There's one Johnstown industry that is
just booming" said traveller yesterday,
who had passed through the Conemaugh
Valley on his journey eastward. "The
jewellers are up to their ears in business
They are toiling night and day, yet the
pile of watches and clocks that are waiting
to be repaired seems never to grow less
Many of the watches we're carried through
the food by fortunate survivors; others
were taken from the bodies of the dead;
some of them passed days in the water,
and are grown SO rusty that the purchase
of new time piece would be far greater
economy than the repairing of the old one.
But every one regards watch that has
come through the Conemaaugh deluge as
an invaluable relic, and some persons are
willing to expend thrice the original price
to have their watches put in good running
order To set straight timepiece that
has slept through days and nights in the
bed of the Conemaugh or fOated on the
surface OF the river in the pocket of some
person is task that requires nice skill
and rare patience. The work is necessar-
lily very slow, but it pays well. In some
cases one workman will spend an entire
week over one timekeeper, and, as every
one of the half dozen jewelry shops of the
town has 100 or more battered specimens
of the clockmaker's art awaiting their
turns, it looks as if the jewelers. boom
would last all winter"

Ethics of Leisure

Between idleness and leisure there is a
wide gulf fixed, and the terms are by no
means to be used INTERCHANGEABLE as
synony nous. Leisure is, in fact, in its best
sense, the essential condition for doing the
best quality of work, for it will be readily
conceded that state of breathless hurry,
and of constantly overworked and fatigued
faculties, is no condition out of which to
produce the best of which one is capable.
The worker who keeps himself in such a
condition as this is not on the road to sue
cess. He is not living high enough to COM
mand the situation. Mr.. Lowell some
where notes why ones temper suffers in
hurried, caaseless round of labor. "The
best minds require certain amount of SOL
itude, and bodies require sleep, or fractious-
ness begins. The more civilized the mind,
the more luminous the life, the greater is
the need that man should in some way
secure his escape from the trivial round,
not giving him room to deny himself, at
any rate for any useful purpose. 1t is es-
sential that some space of leisure be de-
voted to the minds noblest guest-those
most ready to abide with us when all,
without and within, is STILL" Idleness is
decay and deterioration; but leisure is the
best gift of the gods; the true condition
for genuine achievement, the atmosphere
in which ideals take form and shape to be
realized in outward life.

Thousands of Years Saved.

One may get some idea of what railways
mean in the saving Of time and money to
passengers by taking the case of London
It is estimated that about 100000 persons
or about one tenth of the population Of the
entire area of the metropolis, require to
travel to and from their business every day
all the year round. If we remember the
distances, it is not too much to assume that
the railway will econonize for each at least
two hours in the week-or, say five days
Der annum each. This over 100000 of peo-
Die means 100000 days-or an economy
Of $500 years of 300 working days each.
Suppose the average earnings of these 5OO,-
600 people to be 910O per annum each
not too high an average when we remem-
ber the number of millionaires included in
the total-we shall see total money saw
ipg-in the sense Of time being money-of
equal o $780, per annum. And this in
London alone.

Don't Marry Him to r efOrm Him.

Don't marry man to reform him.
To God and yourself be true.
Don't link to his vices his virtue;
You'll rue 1t, dear girl, II you do.
No matter how fervent his pleadings,
Be not by his promises led;
II he can't be a man while a wooing,
He'll never be one when he's wed.
Don't marry a man to reform him
To repent 1t, alas, when too late;
The mission Of wives least successful
is the making of crooke ed lines straight.
There's many a maiden has tried it,
And proved it a fai. .ure at last;
Better tread lifes pathway alone, dear,
Than wed with lover that's FAST"
Mankind's much the same the world over;
The exceptions you'll find are but few;
When the rule Is defeat and disaster,
The chances are great against you.
Don't trust your bright hopes for the future.
The beautiful crown Of your youth,
To the keeping of him who holds lightly,
His fair name of honor and truth.
To 'honor and love" you must promise;
Don't pledge what you cannot fulhl,
Hhe'll have no respect for himself, dear,
Most surely you, then, never will.
'Tis told us the frown of a woman
Is strong as the b ow of a man.
And the world will be better when women
Frown on error as hard as they can.
Make virtue the price Of your favor;
Place wrong doing under ban;
And let h m who would win you and wed yot
Prove himself In full measure man.
