F'rhe Seven Ages"
/. Mr. Dixey does probably the most
artistic work Of his career in his new
piece. That is he comes nearer to what
Is recognized as art by the general pub
lie. The license of burlesque often
make it difficult TO designate where the
purely ludicrous and grotesque leave off
and real art begins. But as the school
boy and the old man Mr. Dixey does
some legitimate comedy work worthy
the ripest comedians of that school. The
:tSeven Ages will be produced at the
opera house Thursday evening.
''Prince and Pauper.''
In the production of ''The Prince and
the Pauper" at the opera house Friday
night, there will be a series of pictur-
esque scenes, portraying London in the
sixteenth century, and stage fully
peopled with representatives of English
life in that era, which will make the
spectacular aspect of the new drama I'M
commoHiy attractive. Elsie Leslie's
acting of this role has gained her a
great reputation in New York, Chicago,
Boston and elsewhere.

attraction at the casino, which will re-
open its doors at 7:30 Joseph D.

GRADING THE POLICE FORCE.
An Increase In Salary of About "a
Cents a Day BY the New Plan,

An Increase In Salary of About 20
Cents a Day BY the New Plan.
The matter of grading the police force
and readjusting salaries, which the
board of commissioners has had under
consideration for several months, will be
acted upon at the next meeting. satur-
day night the commissioners got
together, talked the matter over, and, it
is SAID, agreed upon the following plan ::
There shall be three grades, A, B and
G. All newly elected officers will enter
grade A, at salary of S2.25 "a day. If
at the end of six months, in the opinion
of the board the officer merits promo
ton, he shall be placed in grade b, at a
salary of $3.50 day. After serving a
of efficiency, the board may promote the
officer to grade G. This is the highest
grade for patrolmen and the salary will
be $2.75 day. ALI patrolmen az pres
ent on the force will be placed in this
grade.
The salary of the chief will be in.
creased from 81 300 to 81 800 a year
that of the lieutenant from 81, 100 to
81 300; the sergeant will have ST. 200 a
tective, who heretofore received the
same pay as the patrolmen, will have
So 90 a day.
! Commissioner Kelley was seen by a
DEMOCRAT reporter yesterday, but was
not inclined to talk for publication,
although he did not deny that the board
had agreed to a plan substantially as
outline ed above.
The highest grade, so far as the salary
| is concerned, is the same as the middle
grade of the New Haven police depart
ment, and no one will deny that the
men are entitled to the small increase.
They have long hours of duty in fair
and stormy weather and considerable
portion of their salary must be spent
for expensive clothing.
By placing all the. men upon an equal
footing good results will be attained, as
every man shall be given to understand
that unless he does his whole duty he
will be reduced by the board.
The board of police commissioners
should meet at an early date to take
| official action upon the matter

REV II. rREANoR's PLAIN WORDS.

Pours Hot Shot ut Newspapers That
Pander to n Depravcd Taste.
At the 1890 o'clock mass IN the
Sacred Heart church, yesterday, Rev
Father Treanor spoke for ten minutes
upon the subject of journalism. 1.-The
strides made in journalism during the
past few years." he said, are marvellous.
Events that happen in the most remote
parts of the globe are read by us on the
same day and we know history as soon
as it is made. The American press is
not behind the age and we are proud of
it,. OF the political aspects of any paper
l have nothing to say. A level headed,
fair minded man will choose his politics
not from what he sees in a partisan
paper but after careful con-
sideration of the arguments of
both sides. Legitimate news is
that which interests, educates and in
structs. Papers that never endeavor to
raise to the plane upon which honest
journalism stands are like a pirate or a
vulture always seeking for prey, aud
like the carrion revel in filth. They
pander to the depraved tastes of people
who gloat over the miseries and failings
of their brethren. Of this class 1 wish
to wash my hands clear and clean.
There is also class of journalists who
resemble the leach in that they demand
your money or your blood. They are
among the most degraded beings on the
face of the earth. They endeavor even
to make use of your nationality to bring
you into ridicule. 1t is time we stood
more on the aggressive; up to now we
have been on the defensive. The day is
gone by when Catholics can be maligned
without protest"

RAILROAD ITEMS OF INTER REST
Annual Meeting of the New England
Road Tomorrow.

Annual Meeting of the New England
Road Tomorrow.
The annual meeting of the New York
&c New England Railroad company will
be held in Boston tomorrow. The con-
troll of the company is believed to be in
the same hands as a.year ago. 1t is re-
ported that President Rostwick, who is
now in Europe, has requested that he be
not voted for for that office this year.
William T. Hart is likely to be chosen
president. Probably Charles Howard of
Boston, now general manager, will be
made vice president as well as general
manager. Jonas III. French, it is said,
will retire. and a new director from
Providence. E. N. Deming, is likely to
be added to the board. The three Con-
necticut directors, Messrs Howard of
Hartford, Landers of New Britain and
Plume of Waterbury will probably all
remain in the board. There is every
prospect that the meeting will be har-
moniouS.
William A. Haskell, vice-president of
the New York & New England railroad,
died at his residence in Boston at Z
o'clock yesterday morning, aged 40
years. He had been Il director of the
Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain rail-
road, the Eastern railroad, and the Bos-
ton & Lowell railroad. He was also a
director from its formation of the
National Security bank and of the Inter-
national Trust company till compelled
to resign from the latter by pressure of
other business. He leaves a wife and
two sons.
A petition of the New England road
to change the name of the flag station
now known as Newtown would, if Cir
lated, be signed by many and ought to
receive prompt attention. This station
should be called Hanover, or, at least,
something besides Newtown, which is
misleading to strangers. Many times
strangers have left the train at New
town on the New England road, when
the real Newtown, that on the Housa-
tonic road, was Observation-Disclosures
Bee.
The new iron bridge over Little river
on the line of the Meriden, Waterbury s,
Connecticut River road was placed in
position yesterday. The work will be
completed this week.

Agent Colley Brings Two Cases
Against a saloon Keeper.
In the police court to-day
Liquor Prosecuting Agent Colley had
two charges against Thomas Malley, who
keeps saloon on the corner of Bridge
of Pemberton streets, for selling to
minors on two occasions. He wished to
have the case continued as one of his
witnesses was in New Haven Jail and
another could not be found. He had
one witness present but he did not wish
to try the case on that testimony. Attor-
ney Root, who appeared for Malley, de-
sired the case to go on, but Judge Cowell
decided to adjourn it until Saturday
morning. Mr. Malley has been i'll at the
hospital and this morning after court
he told Chief Egan that it was impossi-
BILE for him to conduct his place proper
ly unless he was given police protection.
He had writ issusd for the arrest of
one of a crowd of youths who make
trouble for him.
Michael Murphy was fined 81 and
costs for drunkenness.

What the Republican Managers Are
Expected to Do.
The republicans of the legislature
have been notified to attend caucus at
the capitol tomorrow at noon, and the
Hartford Times says it is understood
that the party managers will then sub
NIT proposition for adjournment of the
house, sine die, during the week. The
date is undecidt d, but 1t will be decided
shortly after the passage of the appro
priation bills. Whether the rank and
file can be brought to the support of the
adjournment scheme is uncertain. The
Judson proposition is yet pending.
There is some disposition among republi-
cans of giving it trial, and there are
many members of the republican side of
the house, also, who are not ready to
aid Mr. Bulkeley's plans by adjourning
and leaving affairs in his control for the
next two years.

THE ROAD LAW.

That the system of working the
public roads in this state needs to
be changed is pretty generally con
cende6.
A bill was passed by the late Gen
eral Assembly looki1gto this change.
This does not and cannot become a
law operative in any county until it
shall have been recommended by a
grand jury of said county.
The general provisions of this bill,
if put into execution will distribute
the burden Of this public duty more
evenly among the citizens of a
county than any law heretofore
bearing on that subject.
It's limit of taxation outside OF the
Communication provided for, should
taxation become necessary is two
tenths of one per cent.
Three methods for working the
roads are prescribed, with the privi-
lege of using any other method that
may seem best.
First. The authorities may work
chain gang, (Which may be organ
ized) and those who do not pay the
Communication tax, provided, that the
latter class shall not be worked with
the convicts.
Second. They may work free hir,
ed labor and those who do not pay
the Communication tax.
Third. They may have the roads
! worked by contract with private
parties, companies or corporations.
provided, the contracting party OF
parties shall employ the chain>gang
if established, said chain-gang to be
composed of misdemeanor convicts
| Under these provisions it is OPP
tional with every citizen should sub
ject to road duty to work on tn,
road or pay a communication tax O
so cents per day fer each day worl
is done on his section of road tn,
time of working not to exceed tel
days.

DOES FARMING PAY.

Compared with other callings
farming does pay. Those who hold
a contrary opinion make no allow
ance for the farmers ; in fact, farm
ers make none for themselves, as
they would for others in different
callings. Farming don't pay" be-
cause every farmer fails to get rich;
but that is wrong idea. There are
thousands of business men who
work all day and part Of the night
they pay their employees and keep,
up stock of goods, but sometimes
have to let in good patch of bor-
rowed money or unpaid bills to have
both ends meet. 1t is few only
who attain eminence in any calling
or profession, and there is no reason
why farmers should be an exception
to this rule. Well>to.do farmers
are numerous, rich ones are met oc-
casionally, just the same as in other
vacations, only the extremes are not
so great. 1t is seldom farmer goes
to the poor house, is supported by
charity, or sold out at sheriff's
sale. They make a living, and, if they
did but realize it, a better living
than the city worker. The have no
rent collectors to haunt their dreams,
they procure their viands fresh from
natures stores. They can live COM
fortably, even if poor farmers. Then,
too, they make this living honor
ably. And when the year closes, #
the farmer finds his debts and cred
its about even, he is really better off
than his city cousin, in not being
forced to make both ends meet

Ten DOLLAR cold Piece For Cent.

Sometime ago, a gentleman bet
that if he stood al the corner OF
Broadway and Fourteenth Street,
New York, and offered gold Eagles
to the passers>by tor cent each, he
would find no purchasers. The ex.
pertinent was tried, and it turned
out Just as he said. No one would
believe that the coins were genuine.
1t seemed too good to be true. An
equally remarkable offer is that
made by the proprietors of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
the sovereign cure for Consumption.
Think of it restoration to life and
health for a mere song. There is
not a case of Lung scrofula -in'other
words, Consumption-that will not
yield to it, if it is taken IN time. II
is the greatest blood>purifer ever
known, and is guaranteed to benefit
or cure in all diseases of the throat
and lungs, or money refunded. Only
extraordinary curative pro erties
could warrant or sustain its makers
in selling it thus, on trial!
