Americans are the most tolerant of all people toward bad actors and singers, and they never hiss a performance; if they don't like it they leave it, but missing is occasionally heard now at concerts and miscellaneous entertainments. It is not directed against the singers, but against the "encore fiend," who, with frantic up roar, tries to force every one of them to do his or her work two or three times over for his special benefit. As a rule the poorer the show the more emotional and persistent are the people who want everything repeated. In orchestral con- certs it has become the rule to grant no encores, and the majority, which does not desire or is willing to forego them, reach es home at a seasonable hour.

The house committee on constitutional amendments has reported on an amend ment providing for new senate Coun- ty lines are not respected; nor are town lines. It is provided that the number of districts be increased from the present number of 24 to 37, with a further increase in the discretion of the general assembly to 45. The districts are to be by popula- tion of 10000 each. When a town con- tains more population than can be divided by 10000, the fraction remaining must be added to contiguous town or towns, to compose district. Hartford, under this amendment, with it's present population would have two senators and three-quar- ters of another. New Haven would have four senators and say half of another. Bridgeport might have two and frac- tion. The bill was tabled for calendar. Republicans are in favor of amending the constitution, according to constitutional methods, in behalf of popular representa- tion in the senate.

Washington is that the new minister may be expected about the end of July, and that the impression prevails that new treaty with this country will be demand ed. A treaty could be framed in such terms as to nullify the Geary law without any action on the part of the house of representatives, the supreme court having held that treaty supersedes prior act of congress, and 0ice gersa. It is said in justification of this procedure that the Geary act itself was such measure, in that it abrogated treaty rights.

The trustees of Storrs Agricultural Col lege held an important special meeting at the capitol Monday The subject of the present prospects and future needs of the college were freely discussed, and it was decided to add five departments to the college, as follows: Horticulture, veter- mary science, higher English, wood and iron. domestic science. The present course of two years was extended to three years. with probability of making the full course four years. The trustees voted to engage Dr. George A. Waterman, of Lansing, Mich, as professor of veterinary science and also military instructor, and Miss Lottie J. Short, of Manhattan, Kan, as professor of domestic economy. pr. Waterman is graduate of Michigan ag- ricultural college, and has taught in Chi cago. Miss Short has been for several years assistant to Mrs. Kedzie of the Kansas agricultural college. Examina- tions for the admission of students were held on Saturday and Monday. A large number were examined, including ten or twelve girls It is the intention of the trustees to add to the corps of professors other gentlemen who will, it is expected, soon place the institution in the front rank of agricultural colleges. Storrs has heretofore had force of but six teachers, including the matron. Massachusetts has +uolun New HamDShire sixteen, Maine twenty, and Rhode Island thirteen.

Governor Altgeld of Illinois on Monday issued pardons to Samuel Fielden, Oscar Neebe and Michael Schwab, the anarch- ists now now ssrving terms of imprison- ment at Joliet penitentiary for alleged complicity in the Haymarket riots in Chi cago on the night of May 4, 1883. The pardon message contained 17,O00 words The governor takes the ground that these men did not have fair trial and that the court was prejudiced. He scores Judge Gary and Chief of Police Bontield severe ly Spies, Parsons, Engel and Fisher, other anarchists of the gang with these three pardoned, were hanged November II, 1887, for participation in the same riot. They were all tried together. Two weeks were taken in securing the jury and Judge Gary was generally commended for the severity of his charge, and the country was heartily in sympathy with the verdict, sentence and execution, and will condemn the governor who thus en- dorses one of the most brutal crimes of the century.

IT is out of the usual when governor pardoning criminals censures the judge and jury which did the convicting. It is exercising more power than the constitu ton of any state gives to it's executive. As the cases of the Chicago anarchists were appealed and judgment affirmed, Gov. Altgeld has included some high tribunals in his censure, and he is likely himself to learn what censure by the tribu- nal of the neonla may mean.

We acknowledge receipt of cards of in- vitation to the annual exercises of the New London Business College, to be held at Lyceum Hall on Thursday, July 9th. There are twenty graduates. The school is one of New London's pet institutions. Hon. A. J. Bently will act as chairman, Walter Larned, Esq.,, will award the di- plomas, and Rev. w. J. Yates will deliver an address. The feature of the evening will be debate on whether man or wo- an exerts the greater influence on affairs. Two young men will contend for men two young women for women. The au- dience, provided with ballots, will be the judges.
 In several of the western states unnat- uralized aliens are permitted to vote, and the Michigan legislature proposes to sub- init to the people an amendment to the constitution prohibiting it.

Of money must be very short indeed if they can't afford to invest in Suit, Pant or Furnishings, or Hat, Per- haps you will be astonished to be told that the worse of you are the better you can afford to make an investment Isn't it true that the less you have the more sharp-sighted you must be about your purchases, and the more you must get for what you spend ?

Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, when ask ed if he had anything to say as to the at tack made on him by newspapers because he pardoned the anarchists, laughed inn moderately and replied that he had not seen the papers yet, and intimated that he was altogether indifferent as to their comments. "Let them pitch iu and give me the devil if they want to- he said. "They could not cut my hide in three weeks weeks with an ax." It was re- ported during the election canvass that Gov. Altgeld was pledged to pardon the anarchists, but the story was generally re- garded as too improbable'for belief.
