The announcement that AlphOnse
Daudet has written another Tartarin
story, and that it is to be published
through the medium of translation
by Henry James in HdperS MdgrEtne
before the appearance of the French
original, has awakened new interest
in the origin of NJ. Daudet's famous
hero of Tarascon. lie Figaro of Paris
gives the details as follows: As far
back as 1862 M. Daudet contributed to
IL Figaro a story entitled "Chapotin
Tueur de Lions" Six years later he
developed the story into romance
and called 1T 'Barbarin de Tarascon."
This offended family Of Barbarins
living at Tarascon, so in the second
and subsequent editions the h was
changed to a n. "Tartarn de Taras-
con" first appeared in lie Petit OdicM.
NJ. Daudet had promised his friend NJ.
DallOz sensational romance for this
new journal, and when he proposed
"Tartarln de Tarascon," the offer was
enthusiastically accepted, ana the
story published. 1t proved a dead rail-
urc. The humor Of it was too fine, too
delicate for the class of readers to
whom Le Petit Odiciei appealed. Some
time afterward the story was repro
duced in lie Figure. The success Of
''Tartarin de Tarascon" in lie Figaro
was as great as is failure had been in
Lc Petit Oticiel. 1t was followed by
"Tartarin sur les Apes and now
Port TaraScon," the last Of the series,
will complete the adventures Of "thc
illuStriouS Tartarin.'

PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH.

The bill to reduce the pay of Supreme
Court judges, at the same time increas-
ing their labors, is carrying economy" :"
to the verge of folly. Few lawyers
qualified to fill the judgeship could af-
ford to sacrifice practice and prospects
or less than $1,000. Efficiency, at
whatever cost, is the cheapest in the
| ong run, in such matters. There is no
likelihood, however, that the bill will
receive serious consideration. The econ
omy that the people are demanding is
not at the expense of the efficiency of
public service, but the cutting off of fat
offices, commissions, ETC., that are Gre
ated with an eye to paying Herewith
the political debts of the powers that be,
and also in instances where the honors
of the position may fairly be claimed an
offset to the labor required.

A QUESTION OF DISCIPLINE.

There is a great ado in G. A. r. cir
cles West over what has been termed an
"insult to President Harrison" The
cOmmander-in-ch chief of the Sons of Vet
Grams peremptorily ordered that organ
ization not to turn out as escort on the
occasion of the presidents visit to st.
Louis, under penalty of suspension of all
officers disobeying; but the lieutenant
colonel of the department chose to fol
low the dictation of good sense and cour-
tesy rather than anybody's peremptory
ommands based upon amisapprehension
of purpose or authority; and something
of a row ensues. OF course the turning
out in body to greet the president had
no political significance, as the COM
mander seeks to make it appear, and he
clearly blundered in assuming the
authority to frustrate the plans and pur.
poses of the St. Louis and adjacent camps
to honor the chief executive of the
nation.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE FUND.

The agricultural college fund is
another legislative matter that will re-
ceive close attention by the lawmakers,
and the disposition of the University of
Vermont TO keep it as a tail to its kite
will make discussion of the project to es-
tablish separate institution a warm
and interesting one. There is strong
farmer element in favor of a distinct in
stitution, and another placing above all
else the matter of its location, which is
suggested as Montpelier or near there.
There is some danger that in the ''center
of the state" argument the debaters will
lose sight of the fact that climatic infiu-
ences and soil have more to do with the
success or failure of crops than geo
graphical equilibrium. There is no bet
ter soil in the state than the Connecticut
River valley holds, nor more favorable
location so far as climate goes, than that
section of it from Windsor south. And
Vermont's facilities are better adapted
to the conveyance of her people to and
from an agricultural institution than to
the importation of climate to such terri
tory as may boast centrality as its prime
argument in favor of location.

ADOVER DESPERADO.
"Teggs" Holland Shot E. NJ. Carr Five
Times.-Robbery the Motive.

"Teggs' Holland Shot E. NJ. Carr Five
Times.-Robbery the Motive.
At Dover, n. H., Wednesday evening
of last week, young man who gave his
name as Hoitt, called at Edward M.
Carr's furniture store, on Third street,
and said he would like to have him call
at his home, on Baker street, and buy
some goods, for he wanted to get out of
town in the morning. Carr went with
the young man, and when at the head of
Park street, Hoitt pulled revolver and
fired five shots at Carr, four of which
took effect, saying "take that you -.
Die" He then turned and ran toward
Broadway.
Carr walked back down Park street to
Is Ham street, where he called and got
James Sterling to accompany him to DR..
Lothrop's. The doctors think there is
small chance for his recovery. His
assailant was we'll known by clerk in
the store, who identified him as Harry,
alias ''Teggs,r Holland, a notorious
young fellow with very bad record,
having but recently got out of Alfred
Jail. The police were notified and found
Holland after some trouble.
Carr says when they got to the upper
end of Park street the fellow said: 81
want what money you have" adding
quickly, .Hand it out d-n quick
Carr stepped away as though to run,
when the fellow fired, hitting him in the
neck, following it up with four more
shots. The first struck him in the neck,
the second in his nose, two in the right
arm. and the other in the hip. The balls
I from his neck, arm and hip have been
extracted but physicians could not find
4 the ball that went into his nose and think
it will prove a dangerous and perhaps
! fatal wound.
| After the shooting Holland went to
the Methodist church, where his STEP
mother was at work, and asked what
time she would be ready to go home,
/ She replied at 8 O'Clock. He said, ''I'lI
/ be here to go with you, and walked out.

The following three fastest harness rec

est mile ever paced or trotted in race
(2.09 3-4), and the three fastest heats in
any race GOO 3-4, PIP 3-4, 2.13). A
great crowd witnessed the events. The
great attraction was the announcement
time made ovgf gq 5o bfsf AYtss
rack last fall. The Maine stallion %as
driven by his owner, c. H. Nelson, and
had running mate. The watches split
at 80 seconds at the first quarter; the
half in 1.04 81 ; the horse going entirely
on his courage. As he caught the hoof-
beats behind him he quickened his stride,
going to the three-quarter pole in 1.36 IL,
and cheer after cheer went up as he flash
ed under the wire in 2.11 IA. The enthu-
siasm was intense. Nelson was lifted
bodily from the sulky and borne aloft on
the shoulders of the crowd, and the stall
lions neck was encircled with a wreath
of flowers. The time by quarters was
80, 30 3-4, 81 3-4, 81 3-4.

the spectators for the great free-for-all

ter having it by a throat-latch. The time
by quarters was 81 Il, 1.04 81, 1856 IL,
2.09 3-4. The time of the second horse
was 2.10. The second heat was a repeti-
tion of the first. The third heat was war
again, and with the time, 2.l3, rounded
out the three fastest heats ever gone in
harness. Forty thousand dollars in pools
were sold on the race.

CONTESTED ELECTION.
WASHINGTON. Oct. |

The hearing in the East Haven con-
tested election case develops the main
points in the case as follows: There
were in all tifty-one votes cast, of which
A. W. Hudson (Democra) had eighteen
H. O. Smith (Republic9n), nineteen, and
two other candidates together had four
teen Hudson's ballots had merely the
designation "for representative" and
Smiths ballots had no designation. The
constable, Democrat, declared the votes
cast for Smith illegal, and Hudson
elected. The meeting was then declared
adjourned. The first selectman, Re
publican, called the meeting to order
again, and ordered a ballot, when Smith
received a majority of the votes cast and
was given certificate of election by the
first selectman. Hudson also received a
certificate from the constable. The
points at issue are, first, the validity of
the adjournment declared by the consta-
bic, aud, second, the legality of the votes
bearing no designation. Hudson does
not expect to get his seat. The question
is whether Smith shall be seated or the
town be unrepresented.

EDITORIAL N0TINGS.
CHANGING THE SCHOOL LAW.

Probably no action of the legislature
will excite greater general interest than
that taken in regard to the school law,
which has already been attacked from
several points. Representative Enright
of Windsor presents the bill favOring
most radical changes, and it is around
this measure that the hardest fighting
will be witnessed. This bill abolishes
the county board of education, and Gre
ates in their stead town boards, composed
of member of each separate school
board in the town; this town board to
have entire control of, appoint teachers
for, and formulate all rules for, all the
schools in such town. The town board
shall also appoints town superintendent,
who shall perform substantially the
same duties as the same official under the
! old law. Both state and town certifi-
Gates are provided for; the latter upon
satisfactory examination upon a line of
questioning furnished by the state super
intendent, certificates so granted to be
good for one year, issued, of course,
only to persons of good moral character
The bill also calls for state tax of eight
and One-half cents on the dollar, one-half
of which shall be divided equally among
the public schools of the state and the
other equally among the schools of the
town.
Until the debate upon the bill opens,
no opinion upon the favor with which
the proposed changes will be received
can be advanced. Capital gossip has it,
however, that there is general feeling
of dissatisfaction with the +" county
| board - feature of the present law, and
also (of course) with the expense attend
ing its administration in the smaller
towns. AS the Enright bill bears chiefly
upon these points, it is presumed to be
these strings upon which it is purposed
to play the Enright tune in which event
it is pretty certain to become law. II
will be good deal like the old doctors
medicine, however; it must needs be
taken before it can be determined that
the patient is left thereby "a leetle bet.
ter, leetle worse, or just about the
same" Clearly, it will work economy
but economy in this direction, at this
time, seems to us secondary considera
ton. The present law has certainly
raised the plane of teachers qualifica
tions, and better fruits must inevitably
follow if they be given chance to ma
ture, which is not yet the case. Thi:
ought to be one OF the last branches tt
pruee, and extra care should be exer
cised therein.

A NEW LABOR ORGANIZATION.

The newly-founded order of railway
conductors issues the following mani
festo that is attracting attention not only
by it's unusual good sense and fairness,
but also because of its high moral tone.
Labor organizations in the past have
been instituted with reference solely to
the financial benefits to be acquired
thereby; and each has been more or less
of failure. The principles upon which
the new organization is founded are as
follows:
First-Honesty and fairness in our
dealings with all.
SecOnd-Positively refusing to engage
in strike or giving it aid or sympathy.
Third-Contributing to the relief of
worthy conductors, their widows and
orphans.
Fourth-Defense of brother conduct
ors, their wives and children.
Fifth-Abstinence from the sale or
traffic of Intoxicating liquors.
We believe conductors can have no
sympathy with the disorder and lawless-
ness attending the methods of striking
organizations.
We hold it incumbent upon ourselves
to perform all duties to our employers
honestly, Loyalty and faithfully, giving
the best possible service as the true basis
for increased remuneration and advance
ment.
We also owe a duty to the public which
demands sacrifice of personal cOnsdera-
tions, under no possible circumstances
can we assume the right to obstruct the
business of the country, or delay inno-
cent travellers, in order to right per-
sonal grievance.
We believe all violent attempts to Sc
cure favor or employment are unneces-
sary; the intelligence and wisdom of the
conductor and official of this age are suf-
ficent to amicably and honorably ad-
Just all differences of whatever character
or nature in a just and reasonable man
ner.
TO provide for ones family in the
event of death or disability is the duty
of all men, and to that end we quote
article of our law.
