The present promise is for a bright Easter. And this means many needed things to every body that marks the glad time by some special attention to dress. Why tell of details when you know the unspoken thought of your wants is echo ed here; or better, perhaps, your wish is the echo of what you already know is here?
 Inconsistent! Yes, we are and here are a few details that we must print, and you-well, ought to read.
 Millinery. What a show is here provided for the gentler sex!
 What to choose from the al- most unlimited quantity ot mill linery gems, over each ot which one fingers to note the exquisite work of woman's dainty fingers, is perplexing question.
 What a world of wisdom ii takes to buy a becoming bon Second floor; No. car.
 Ofgloves, let us say we have all we really care for. There isn't a wanted glove of any sort that we do not satisfy, unless il be of certain coarse grades we have dropped out of them
 We should like nothing bet ter than to send a primer on gloves to all who write for it Sent free. " South store.
 The array of plain dress fabrics here is something ex- traordinary! .-.... .... ..

Postmaster Converse of Windsor Locks was pleasantly surprised at the foundry Tuesday morning by his employees. MT. Converse short time ago sold out to the E. Horton & Son company, which took possession yesterday. The help, in ap- preciation of the kindness of MT. c Converse, took this occasion to present him with a handsome gold ring. Foreman John V. Adams made the presentation, and MT. Converse briefly responded. The ring was thus inscribed on the inside: "A. w. Converse, from the foundry employees, April 1st, 1891;" and on the outside in German text the letters "A. W. O." It was complete surprise, and the gift was appreciated.

Hartford Post: It has been reported that 1t has become the intention of the Italian government to restrict the immi- grafton of it's subjects to this country, and it might be taken for granted that any step of this kind on the part of Italy would be cordially approved in this coun- try, but it appears that the plan of the Italian government applies only to able bodied males who are liable to military duty. They dc not propose to prevent the cripples and the criminals and the worst class generally from pouring out here as fast as possible. But we ought to prevent it.

THE adjournment of the legislature without doing it's work means inconven- fence to many, in fact there are few peo- pie who will not suffer in some degree through the omission of duty. There were charters required, appropriations needed, and other measures, each affect ing It's little circle or the entire public.
 There is responsibility somewhere for this neglect of duty and consequent in- convenience to many, to say nothing of the shame of it. The people will study up the case and locate this responsibility.

 STRONG hopes were excited last week of break of the legislative deadlock by the appointment of committee of four senators, two from each party, to confer as to plan of settlement. The commit tee went into counsel at once, and occu- pied all the time of recess. It was un- derstood that any plan unanimously rec commended by them would be adopted by house and senate, and also the impression prevailed that if no plan could be agreed upon by them that no further effort would be made, but that both branches would take a recess until fall. Since Executive Secretary Brainard has brought suit for his salary it has been considered that the decision of the courts in that matter would settle the question as to Gov. Bulkeley's right to continue to act as gov ernor.
 On Tuesday the senate conference con- mittee almost agreed upon plan of set clement, but in few minutes recess de- voted to luncheon other influences over came the disposition to agree, and the final report was that no agreement could be reached. The senate rejected the Jud- son bill offered by the house, and Senator Cleveland offered a resolution, voicing the determination of the senate not to consider any offer looking toward com promise or settlement, so long as the house maintains it's present attitude to- wards the constitution. The house re- garded this as a closing of all avenues to conference or agreement, and, as previous ly determined, then voted to take recess until November
 ITALY has recalled her minister from this country, our government being un- able to meet her demand that the New Orleans lynchers be brought to justice. The Louisiana authorities seem indisposed to act, though called upon to do so. The action of the Italian government does not mean war, though it is a step toward a warlike attitude. The situation is grave enough, and there is nothing in it to make us feel proud. We can't get up much pa- trfotism over a cry for liberty to lynch criminals because our courts can't do their duty. But, on the other hand, Italy hasn't cause to feel proud of.

Two OLD GUNs.-Mr. William Moulton of this town has in his possession two old guns which are remarkable in their way. One was carried by his grandfather, Timothy Kingsley, in the campaign against Burgoyne's invasion, and he was present with it on the memorable 17th of October, |1777, when the young English adventurer laid down his arms. Mir. Kingsley used to say ,''that it was the grandest sight he ever saw" MT. Moulton also has a gun carried in the French and Indian war by Captain Durkee of Ashford, which was afterwards carried in the Revolution by his great uncle, Captain William Moulton. Both of these arms are in substantially the same condition as they were when they were in active service.- Wil1inadastic Journal

A MANSFIELD MAN writes to the Willi- mantle Chronicle complaining of a, cor respondent of Sunday paper who came to that town to write up the Costello, af- fair, and who set facts aside in every in stance where they stood in the way of making his article sensational and read able. He wonders why he never saw any of the many pleasant features of the town, which he tabulates, but only found matter for ridicule and detraction. Why bless your soul, man, the modern 'senter- prising" reporter only seeks material for racy articles. Fiction sells better than fact among the class he caters for. He wants something interesting, and to their shame be 1t said, he finds in every town men who will show him where to tap the sluiceways of scandal to get material for the odorous mixtures he desires to pre- pare. The Sunday papers, as a, rule, sur pass all other issues in unreliability and distorton of truth. We are glad to make single exception. The present visiting correspondent of the Springfield Republi. can seems disposed to treat Stafford fair ly and to be on the lookout for legitimate news. Such correspondents gentlemen are not ashamed to be seen conversing with and giving information to.

He announced that in Paris he had
learned that every ruler must have

pretense of establishing it. He forced

selves out in sham battle and At

out to use up his neigh

To the Editor of the Globe:
La PoINTE AGENCY, Wis, Reserva-
ton off the Fond du Lac Band of Chip
pewa Indians, June Isl desire to say
relative to the sensational article ap-
pearing in your daily of the 10th inst.
in connection with the Fond du Lac
band of Indians that your correspondent
does not do justice in the matter, and
endeavors to convey the impression to
the public that the Indians have done
laWlesS act. Such is not the fact. The
Indians certainly hoiSted the gates and
let the water go through the dam. The
dam and the stream, and all the terri
tory adjacent for miles around belong
to them, and no one has any right to
close the gates of this dam without first
consulting the Indians when the
gates are closed. The water destroys
the grass upon the meadows above
the dam, and there is about 100000 feet
OF the reservation pine logs above this
dam. which has been stolen from the
reservation and the government had no
knowledge of it. The honorable com
missioner of Indian affairs has recently
been notified of these facts and, pend
ing an investigation by the Indian de-
partment, the Indians mean to hold the
stolen timber in the stream within the
reservation to facilitate the government
in what action may be taken to recover
for the timber. Aside from the II, ,5e0,-
600 feet of pine logs stolen the past wiR-
ter several crews Of white men have
been OH the reservation cutting and re-
moving cedar fence posts, cedar paving.
cedar telegraph poles and railroad ties,
and have disposed of about one hun
dred and fifty corloads the past
two months. White men have
been doing a land Office business
on the United States government,
and Indian property taken from
this reservation since November, 1890,
and it is about time they were called
down by Uncle Sam, and we undertake
to protect what is left of the stolen tim
Der within the reservation until Uncle
Sam is ready to take hold of the matter.
Your correspondent of yesterdays arti-
Gle alludes to me as an agitator. will
state for the benefit of the public that
the correspondent is in strong sympathy
with the company getting the timber
from the reservation, and his feelings
are no doubt hurt in having the logs
held. Very respectfully.
