THE LEAGUE PHOTOGRAPHED.

State Farmers Try to Put Things in
 Better Working Shape.
 At the Connecticut State Farmers league meeting in Hartford Monday the county leagues were abolished, as they added to the expense, and hereafter the town leagues and the state league will conduct the busi- ness. The money remaining in the league abolished will be turned over to the state league.
 A resolution was passed stating that the board of the executive committee shall ap- point two members from each senatorial district, one from each of the two great parties, the duties of whom it shall be to see that the men nominated for political offices shall be friendly to honest legisla- tion.
 A resolution to raise the initiation fee from 50 cents to S1 was lost. There was considerable discussion on this resolution. The secretaries of the town leagues must report quarterly to the state league, ac- cording to another resolution which was | passed.
 1t was voted that the executive commit | tee of the state league should meet the first l Mondays in January, April, July and Octo- Der of each year and have general charge of the state league.
 | At 1 o'clock recess of one hour was taken. In the afternoon officers were elected to fill vacancies. G. D. Bates of Putnam was elected president, W.P. White resigning; Earl Cooley of Berlin was elected first vice president and T. Barbe, of Griswold second vice president.
 It was then voted to ask for voluntary contributions of from $2 to $10 from the l town leagues to create fund for the state league to work with.
 The following resolution offered by Mir White was passed: "We demand the pas sage of United States senate bill No. known as the pure food bill, and copy O. this resolution be sent to our senators ant | representatives in congress"
 President Bates suggested that the word "urge'' might be used instead of demand F. w. Parsons of Hazardville said tht time had passed for farmers to urge; they must now demand. No change was mad in the reading of the resolution.
 A. Whitmore of Morris said that con servatism would be the death of the league and he had platform which he would like to have adopted. A discussion fol lowed, and in the meantime the secre tary looked over the records and foun, that the league had had platform fo | two years, and another one was not neces sary.
 The president suggested that Mir. Whit more should read this platform, and tn old platform might be amended. When MI | Whitmore finished there were only thre delegates remaining, and there was not quorum to act upon it.

THE NEW LAMPS.

The New Lamps Give Satisfaction
 The Differences Between Them and
 the old.
 Some time ago three-year contract was made with MT. Brennan, he agreeing to furnish the city with improved naphtha lamps for $22. 50 per year for each lamp. The lamps were to be twenty candle light, while the old lamps were only fourteen to sixteen candle power.
 The new lamp has been on trial for about month and has given good satis- faction. The light seems as good as gas. The new lights do not go out on rainy nights ss the old ones frequently did. Take the month of December and the old lamps; the officers of station 3 reported 481 lamps not lighted, out of order and glass broken. Under the new contract there have been but 80 reported during the month in which they have been on trial. It has been noticed, however, that quite a number go out too early, not burning the number of hours required by the city. If this defect is remedied and the inspector keeps the lamps as clean and in as good condition as they are at present, there is no doubt that the lamp service will give entire satisfaetion to tho public, who have long suffered from the unreliability and of the old system.

Points From a Notable Life.

FO1ntS from a NOtaOlc L1fes
 From a. fine and extended tribute to the memory of the late ex-President Porter, in the Hartford Courant of yesterday the fol lowing is taken from the summing up esti- mate of his character
 President Porter was not remarkable for ex- actness of classical scholarship, nor for verbal accuracy. He said of himself that he had no without the. erudition which sometimes ap- brooches pedantry he impressed one as a wise wonderful. He was most kindly in his judgment and never wasted breath in denouncing Kna eve he da cau5 not But that
 quick intelligence could read motives, and he understood men. He seemed entirely free doing would strike others. He was always far more interested in what he was doing, for ifs own sake, than from the impression which 1t would make on others. Some may remember how an ex-president of the United States at Yale din. ner once told how he had invited President Por- ain. No intimation of such an offer had ever been made before. Few men better illustrated
 xge ot SY need of reticence, of not disclosing unripe opin. ions than President Porter. Few mon were the P1R3sr FsW earrea with them 70 o large 50 exact knowledge of the contenporary hi1. H or sew wiss that he ha1e eyes moro fully from his store of knowledge and might have left behind in an autobiography his recoIlections of men and events, and yet this is precisely what he has been doing in the hun dreds of Review articles which month after month he has been bringing forth for fifty years. And anything moro distinctly personal would have been impossible to him, for he would friends has he performed tho office of historian, plcturing tho formative infuenco of home, town and early friends, and analysing tho clements of mind and character with singular correctness and singular grace. Who shah perform 6 simi- lar service for him?

 The point that has been brought up at several meetings of tho board of finance when Judge Pickett's bill has been under consideration. that the money appropriated for the judges salary had reverted to the treasury at the end of the year, was de- cided upon yesterday.
