NEW HAVEN, CONN, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 21 1893.

bought $500, 900 worth of nauors prepara-
 tory to starting in the saloon business on
 the first of July. He figures that he will
 sell at least million gallons of whiskey
 before the first of January, and make
 about as many dollars on 1t. It will take
 20 cents to get @ drink of the cheapest
 kind of liquor under the new dispensa-
 tion, and the indications are that 1t is
 the purpose of the state authorities to coin money for the treasury rather than to reduce the consumption of ardent spir- its.
 Baby shows have had their day in Paris and the people of that gay city will be in- vited to an exhibition of aged people which is to begin July 15 and last till July 25. Foreigners as well as nstive-born French men will be allowed to Center the lists" of competition, and the resulting statistics and data will be studied by the medical profession from @ scientific point of view. It has long been acknowledged that France has more old men in proportion to popula- ton than any other Continental country. There sfe known to be eighty centenarians in the Republic, the senior of whom Is N. Rlves, of Tarles, who is 123.
 A Pennsylvanian suggests that forestry could be made profitable; in other words, that the man who is willing to wait can make money by planting and selling trees, but he must have the patience of @ great many years. This srboriculturist foresees the time when, our hills having been stripped of trees, the sale of planted spsoi- mems will become a regular business.
 'There is plenty of land in this country" he says, 'that is scarcely fit for any other purpose that the growing of trees. Such land could be purchased for from 8 to $4 an acre. Dr. James Brown said some years ago, and it holds good yet, that he had seen crops of lsrch of 65 years' stand ing sold for from $7OO to sa,0Oo per acre. As this tree, like anything else, grows more valuable the scsrcer 1t gets, it is not presumption to say that sixty years hence 1t will be worth still more. As stunning that land worth about the figures quoted above were set out in larch, what a splendid profit would bs the result, the planter might not live to en- joy 1t. Still another authority has cal culated that a plantation of 10 acres of larch, to last 50 years, will yield a profit of 13 per cent. per annum, and show net profit at the end of that time of $52. .262.75. How many enterprises are there that give anything like such le- turns9" Other trees in which there would be a profit for the planter are the white pine of the North and the loDg-leaf pine of the South, the ash, the walnut, and the tulip

LET US KEEP COOL.

Yesterday we called attention to what seemed to our town-born mind @ very bold and dangerous claim, namely, that Man could make better ice and water than the Creator. We were startled when the idea that this claim had been made really dswned on us, and we feared that 1t was another of the many evidences that New Haven has cut loose from the ancient moor ings and abolished the old landmarks. But @ second thought has somewhat treasured us. Moreover, we are told that the gentle men who have seemed to make the claim that looked so bold and dangerous have not really made 1t. They have not assumed to be able to create anything. But they have, they say, sobsrly and honestly set them selves at work to make such use of what the Creator has made as will be beneficial to others and incidentally fatten their own pocketbooks. It appears that they do not look upon themselves as heretics in busi- nees, or as in any way connected with Dr. Briggs, Dr. Ecob and Dr. Spreches. And they make 8 very strong argument to show that the use they make of what the Creator has kindly furnished for their use is @ good one. For instance, they argue that Man, vile Man, has done so much to inter- fere withth making of pure foe in the natu- ral way that people are not at all sure of getting such ics. They say that if impurities happen to be in water which is freezing those impurities will certainly be found in the ice. And they point to the fact that cholera germs, left over from last summer, have just been found in ice taken from German waters last winter, and to the fact that the cold which made the ice didn't kill the germs. They gay that they first purify the water out of which they make ice and that they thus know that the ice Is pure. Furthermore, they present much testimony from the learned, who, while showing no irreverence, do not give the ice made by the Creator 8 very good character. They are not puffed up | by the remark of the darkey who said "de
 Lawd can't make ics in de summer" but they do take pride in the fact that they
 can, and that they can deliver 1t fresh
 from the factory daily. and "all cold" | The gentlemen who thus argue in favor of the clean. nice-looking, Man-made ice,
 make also 8 very plausible argument in
 favor of their improved water. Indeed,
 they say 80 much, and say 1t 50 well, that
 we feel that 1t is possible we have been un-
 duly frightened, and that perhaps New
 Haven is not going to become 6 center of
 inhdelity and impiety. But though we
 shall rest easier, we shall not sleep, and al
 the first sign of danger to the good old
 town our warning voice will again bt
 heard.

. 4rY Goods. White Store Talk, EVEN MCINTYRE X co. THIRD WEEK
 OF OUR :" IMPORTANT
 NEGOTIATION
 SALE"

Opens with fine sunny weather, thanks to Old Prob.
 Warm weather means thin. dresses and lightweight underwear.
 Wonder if any other store in New Haven sells summer olothinga Judging from our sales and the cases upon cases sold, we should say not.
 There never was a time when people had so good an opportunity to buy cheap.
 If you like strawberries now is the time to buy them. So it Is with Dress Goods, Silks and White Goods. In fact, evefy- thing in our store is ripe to pick. What used to be called Bargains are Bargains no more. The word does not mean half the value you get here. We are actually ex- changing $150,000 worth of good, clean, new Spring and Summer Dry Goods for $75, ,000 of your money. It may sound little ridiculous to make such statements, but the fact remains just the same. Think of it-oferiDg you your choice of our big stock at a little over half price. Dissolu- tion prices are not in it with Resolution beginning of this sale to cut low and deep. No One Cent Reduction in This Store. That would be an imposition on the public. Every locker who hes priced goods in our store list of June and have bought and priced them since can testify to the unprecedented reduction. The best testimony we can give are the Ladies" They are born buyers and can give many points to some of the sellers in this town. You may be able to fool man, but cannot fool 8 woman on Dry Goods. The merchant that tries will surely go to destruction.
 We advise the ladies to look up our White Goods stock, beginning at 60 and ending at 39c. Our showing Is simply marvellous. Swiss Mulls in plain and spot ted, India Linen, Victoria Lawns and fine Nainsooks, besides @ host of other styles, make this counter the center of attraction these days of heat and sweat. You can save from Sc to 15c yard, according to pri' psid.
 China Silks and Wash Silks are selling very fast. Surah Silks are also in big de. maud. Just as soon as you mark down @ piece of good material 'tis wonderful how soon the ladies find 1t out. Warmed over styles have no place in the White Store. Last eeason's styles count like last seasons birds' nests-good for nothing. That's why we want to be rid of everything of this Waists. The bloom of freshness has not been rubbed off yet, but the anticipated profit has gone, and big slice of the cost besides. If we didn't wish to sell the prices would be higher on all goods, but our mo tive is SINCERE and you partially know 1t. "Bide @ wee" and you will.
 Dress Goods, Ladies' Hosiery Gloves and Mems Wear are very busy.
 Laces and Hamburgs are in their glory.
 Come and see us. Don't wait until you want to buy.

Readers and Non-Readers.

LouuOu SpoCIalOt-l
 Certainly there are plenty of people, men and women, who are exceedingly in telligent, and this not in any limited d. rection, wbo never read, who know noth- ing about books, and who could not gain from them any sppreciable addition to their brightness. They have observed, they have thought, and they can talk. They observe, as rule. much more close ly than the readers, who are spt either to be pre-occupied, or to be mentally "dlssi- pated"-there Is no other word-and they think, when they think, In 6 more original way, or rather, as that word has now a conventional meaning, In way which Is less obscured by the influence of "the common-ssnse of most"
 Their thoughts, poor or perfect, are st least their own, and are strong thoughts. They lack width usually, though not al- ways; for intercourse with readers has much of the effect of reading: but they have a certain directness and tenscity ss to the point at issue. They are apt, too. to have humor, the incongruities of things striking them even more than thsy strike readers-hoW much had Burns resdi-and humor of the peculiar kind which we de- fine rather indefinitely by the word "rsci- ness," that is, flavor, the trace of the on- ion which snimstes the salad. In talking, 1t is said, they are deficient; but that Is often only because they are in presence of persons whose knowledge of books they dread, or because they belong to the class es or rsces-for there are both-to whom the privilege of talking easily has not been given. There are women among us who never read, and talk excellsntly we'll there were scores of them In France just befora the reyolution-snd men who talk ss only chiefs of professions can, but who have never seen 8 book since they were at college. Indeed, we believe that If tine literary would inquire, they would be rath- | CT startled at the number of the latter. There are not only the scores of able men who have no time for reading, but other scores In every profession towhom reading | is very like an impossibillty. They cam | not do 1t any more than 8 reading man
 can get through "Sismondr or "The Wan derer."
 There is literary assumption current, ! now indeed crystallizing into an axiom, ! that all able men with the time can read
 books, and that if they do not, it Ia the fault of the newspapers, or the novels, or congenital perversity, but the assumption is totally unfounded. Numbers of men of
 keen intelligence simply cannot read, and
 never open book, and neither suffer for
 the deficiency ner find 1t suspected by the world. There was plenty of intelligence before printing and before manuscripts became accessible to any but the wealthy.
 In Asia, outside theology, all ability Is in dependent of book-knowledge; and the
 statesmen who never read are infinitely
 more intelligent thsn the Bsboos who XII
 their original thinking power by studying
 the books of foreign people.

probably none Of them entirely cor
rect, that the President has been ex-

Mr.. Harrison hopes to spend the re-

of law and attend to his private in

Washington Immediately after the in

When there are three political
parties about equally represented in
our legislatures, we have confusion,
delay, strife, bargaining, bulldozing
and bad blood. 1t is not in the
nature of things that more than two
parties can long exist in any country.
If by concessions, or other induce
ments, they can not be reunited in
two parties, the weaker will soon
combine against the strongest and
thus effect the same result. So it will
be now. If, either Republicans or
Democrats do not conceed the de-
mands of the silver men which are
considered just, not only by the third
party, but by many men in the others,
and by nearly every man in the west,

next great political struggle; the one

States, like persons, can be
benefited by observing the experience
of others. Idaho people, or portion
thereof, are asking for deduction for
debt laws. Oregon had such laws
but repealed them at the last legisla-
ture; and the Klamath Star speaks of
it as follows:
The deduction for indebtedness clause
has been the ground on which the heavy
property holder stood to dump his taxes.
The burden fell upon the holder of small
property, andso many dumped their loads
of taxes that the rate of taxation on the
small amount of assessable property be-
came exorbitant. But the dumpage is
Withdrawn, and Oregon, with her assess
ment ballast no longer ON one side, will
sail ahead more hopefully.

THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY. MARCH Q, 1898.

One Of the many good bills to go
under this winter was one that made
its appearance along about the 21st
round of the session. 1t was in
troduced by Mcpherson in the senate
and passed that body and was sent to
the house. The bill provided that
live stock ranging in two or more
counties should be assessed in each
county in proportion to its value as the
time it ranged in such county was to
one year. For instance, a man had
400 head of cattle In Ada county
which would assess $40 per head or
a, 900; he ranges them in Washing
ton county three months in the year
Three months being one-fourth of a
year, he would be assessed one fourth
the value of the stock, or 81, 600 in this
county and SO, 900 in Ada. Thus the
stock owner would not have the
valuation of this property changed in
the least and the counties would re-
ceive revenue in proportion as it fur
nished nourlshment and protection to
the stock. No law could be better
and had such a one been in force in
1890, this county would have been
saved number of tedious and ex-
pensive lawsuits. AS we said the
bill went to the house, and that body
examined it. They saw that it was
the acme Of justice and equity, and
decided that 1t was entirely too good
q bill to be allowed to pass this session,
80 they smashed it in the snoot.
They saw that it drew the lines of
justice too fairly to suit their calibre,
they saw that the bill would do away
with the herds of one county ravag-
ing the ranges OF another without
compensation to that county, and they
kicked it in the belly. They saw that
it would protect the tax paying stock
in ore county by preventing the
grass from being dcvoured by outside
stock which returned no taxes, and
that it would likely prevent lawsuits in
the future, and they fastened to sock
on their brand Of disapproval They
killed it for its very excellence. We
are pleased to note that Allison and
Benson supported the measure.
