THE STATE OFFICES.

Comments hy. the State Press on the
 Situation-Mr. Hotchkisss Hid for
 Party Leadership.
 The situation at Hartford is thus alluded to by some of our exchanges:
 The senate having declared itself incapable of investigating the returns holds that it's declara- tion may be all that is necessary to provide for the inauguration of Judge Morris. If the senate do all this on it's own hook what is to prevent the house from investigating the returns on it's own hook and revealing the irregularities2- Hartford Post.
 NO COMPROMISE OF RIGHT
 Talk of compromise is plenty in connection with the gubernatorial contest, but there should be no compromise of right. Whatever belongs legally and constitutionalIy to the democrats should be given them, but nothing more. The republicans are in condition to wait and to l 'hold the fort. Bridgeport Standard.

 Glowing Tributes Paid to the Mem-
 ory of a Man who Left all to Aid
 His Race.
 In spite of the storm which prevailed last evening there was large attendance present in the Court street Temple at the memorial exercises held under the auspices of Horeb lodge in honor of the memory of Benjamin Franklin Peixotto Isaac Wolf presided over the meeting which was ad- dressed by Rev. Dr. Kleeberg and Henry Duschnes of New York city. Dr. Klee- berg paid glowing tribute to the memory of Peixotto-one whom he termed as a re. markable example of life spent in self. sacrificing endeavor.
 Peixotto was descendant of the Span ish 1sraelites who suffered such bitter prosecutions. He was born in New York city, November 13, 1884 and died Septem- Der IS, 1890. He obtained legal education after some difficulty and became proficient in that profession. When quite @ young man he became an active member of the B'Nai Brith order and became in time its chief officer. As a man Peixotto was ever on the alert for the welfare of his race.

In hin were combined the best qualities of the faithful few and the patriotic American In 1872 he was appointed minister te Roumania where he devoted himself ir alleviating the sufferings inflicted upon his race. He also devoted himself in raising the mental and moral condition of the Roumanian Jews. He spent six years ir founding lodges of the of B'Nai Brith though as the laws of the country for bade secrete societies, he called then zion societies. From this source muc1 was done in helping the Roumanian Jewt from the bitter load of bondage under which they had struggled. There are few instances in history of a more heroic sacrifice than that made by Peixotto wher he left home and friends to go away thous ands of miles to labor in behalf of his race.

Manager Bunnen In Bridgeport.


 Manager G. B. Bunnell is 'hustling' about with his characteristic activity to prepare his Bridgeport opera house for the hustling business that he intends to inau- gurate there. He is full of plans for the improvement of Hawes' opera house. 'I shall cater," says he, Ito women and chil- dren especially. will give them plenty of pure air and pure fun, combining both amusement and instruction. I shall pur- sue the same plans which have proved suc- cessful in New Haven. Of course the re- mainder of the theatrical year will be a preliminary season for me here, during which I shall try the people of Bridgeport and find out just what they want. I have many engagements already made for next season with the best managers and attrac- tions in the country. I want to give the people of Bridgeport continual treat"
 Manager Bunnell will run Hawes' in conjuction with his New Haven theaters, and will thus be enabled to secure more high class attractions for both houses than he otherwise would.

ILLUMINATE EXPLODES.

wlnchester's Armory the Scene of
 Another Explosion Saturday After
 noon-No One Injured.
 Saturday afternoon about 3:3O o'clock another of the illuminate drying rooms at Winchester's armory was blown to "smith- ereens" In one of these little drying houses which was situated apart from the others between one hundred and two hundred pounds of illuminate was in pro cess of drying and in some accountable manner the stuff exploded. The shock caused by the explosion was unusually severe and felt very psrceptibly even in the remotest parts of the city. Fortunate 1y there was no one near the building at the time and no damage to life or proper ty, other than the building in which the illuminate was stored resulted. Houses in various parts of the city were shaken and many persons were more or less startled by the explosion. On HiHhouse avenue a pedestrian fell upon his knees in front of St. Mary's church but whether from the force of the concussion or from an idea that the city was being visited with an earthquake shock could not be ascer- tained. The glassware and windows in several of the houses nearer tho scene of the explosion were also more or less damaged. The explosion Saturday was the second within few months.

Makes inc Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run down or weakened state of health derive from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim that this medicine "makes the weak strong" It does not act like stimulant, imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow reaction of greater weakness than before, but in the most natural way Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength.

Some of Last Years Rain Would Come
in Handy Now.
The Signal Service temperature at A..
NJ. and p. NJ. yesterday was AZ and 550,
while the highest and lowest temperature
was so and Az, with fresh to southerly
winds, and clouded sky. The baro,n-
etrical readings at Il. N. and P. n. were
30.ll and 30.02 inches, which show a
slowly falling barometer, as though the
cyclonic area in Oregon is trying to ad-
vance this way.
The highest and. .lowesttemperature one
year ago yesterday was 81 and 40, with
no rain, and one year ago to-day 570 and
81, with no precipitation.
The first rainfall in February Of last
year occurred on the 18th, when there
was .06 OF an inch, from which date it
rained continuously until the I'D, max
ing total amount for. the eight days of
3.9S inches. Such an amount for this vi
cinity in the next eight days would give
most favorable prospects for large crops.
There was heavy rainfall at Roseburg
and Portland yesterday amounting TO
nearly or quite two inches III twenty-four
hours, with a greater portion of it snow
at Portland. 1t now appears as though
the low pressure from the northwest is
trying to overcome our anti-cyclonic
area
