Col Nathan Benedict Dibble of Dan
bury, IS years old, died of apoplexy ON
the last day of September and was bur-
led, last Friday, from Beaver Brook
chapel. The News pays this tribute to
his character: No man ever held more
firmly the respect and confidence of his
townsmen. His sterling integrity and
uniformly happy temperament made him
welcome visitor in all homes and in all
gatherings. He was especially fond of
children and was as we'll beloved by
then. as by their elders.

Farming is no longer as prosperous as
it was in times gone by. The population
of many of our agricultural districts is
less than il was 10 years ago. The mort
gage indebtedness of American farms is
increasing at the rate of about $S, 800, 900
per year and the decrease in farm values
since 1880 is estimated at 5000, 900, 900.
In the single State of Ohio, this loss
amounted to about 81 per acre for the en-
tire State and there are other States
where the proportion shows a still worse
condition of affairs. The country is los
ing and the towns gaining; the farmers
are growing poorer.

In the civil Superior court at Danbury,
Miss Nellie Kane received judgment for
$4,000 against the Danbury and Bethel
horse railroad. Miss Kane was riding in
a horse car which was struck by a New
England train and was severely injured.
She sued both companies, but the New
England company allowed the case to go
by default, in order to secure a hearing
before the court upon the question of
damages. The horse railroad contested
the case before jury.

You ought to have roads that you could
be proud of. If there is any improve
ment in your town or county which makes
it worth mentioning, you are bound to
tell of it. You never saw an American
town having good roads whose people
did not know that their town was super

good road and they tell about it. Isaac

People of the lower Housatonic valley
urge with renewed persistence that the
alter train be put on the Housatonic road,
leaving Bridgeport at IL O'Clock, or in
time to accommodate the play goers and
running as far as Newtown, possibly
New Milford. 1t is impossible now to
attend theater in Bridgeport, in the even
ing, without the further expense of
spending the night at Il hotel. And the
new train would accommodate many who
remain later than the 30 freight. Col
Stevenson, when the subject was men
toned, said that it would be impossible
to hold the 8 30 train, as some had sug-
gested, as it would then lose connections
with the Boston and Albany road.

OF all the isms of the day, Socialism is
the most prolific of evils and the most
diverse and conflicting in theories. If
there is safety in multitude of council
lors, the world is surely in the way to go
right. In the providence of God we trust
that all this preaching about discomfort
and change in society will be oyerruled
for good. That there are many earnest
souls who are seeking for better condi-
tions of life, we cannot doubt; that many
are mistaken as to the means to the end,
we are sure. These movements are deep
ly significant of things to come. The
danger is that these great questions will
be too much left in the hands of ignorant
and bad men. The church of Christ must
be a prime factor in the solution of these
problems. Against the goddess theory
that what is thine is mine stands the
Christian precept mine is thine, if thou
need Ito. o. Wright.

The observance of Founders day at
Pratt institute, Brooklyn, on Friday, the
6lst birthday of Charles Pratt, was pecul-
iarly interesting and affecting, says the
New York Tribune. For the first time,
the day was celebrated without the
presence of him who gave his best
thought and effort to the establishment
of this great institution. The assembly
hall was crowded with teachers, direct
ors, students and former pupils of the
institute. The exercises partook almost
as much of the nature of memorial SER
vices as those held five months ago. The
sadness seen on the faces of directors and
students attested the love and regard felt
for the man who had given so generous
ly of his riches and of himself. After a
brief address by F. B. Pratt, secretary of
the institute, the president of the board
of trustees, c. NJ. Pratt, whose Summer
residence is in Newtown, spoke at some
length and with much feeling. lie dwelt
on the new features of the work of the
institute and explained the latest scheme
of cooperation with the Prang educa-
tional company to further the work of
public education. Arrangements have
been made whereby the instruction by
correspondence through Prang's normal
drawing classes will be greatly broaden
ed in character and loan exhibitions of
typical art and industrial work from var
ious public and technical schools and
from classes of the Pratt institute will be
prepared for general circulation. in cities
and towns desiring such exhibitions. At
the close of Mr. Pratts address, w. S.
Perry, director of the art department,
presented to the trustees, in the name of
the teachers and students, bronze bust
of the late Mr. Pratt. This bust, the
work of Herbert Adams, is mounted on

bracket is a sentence often uttered by Mr.
