Volume s6.

The Press this week enters upon its 36th year of existence; not an advanced age viewed from some standpoints, but one that very few newspapers attain compared with the number that die before reaching it. We have looked over the list of about 70 towns and cities in Connecticut having papers published therein for those of greater age than ours. It is not a long list. We give it. It will be seen that four of our cities are not in it, and that it contains names of but three towns east of the Connecticut river: Bridgeport, Dan- ielsonville, Hartford, Litchfield, Middle town, Norwalk, Norwich, Stamford, Wa terbury, Willimantic. Some others had papers before The Press was started, but those first established died for want of patronage, except in the towns named.

Edward shellenberg, a merchant

Edward Shellenberg, merchant of Mound City, Mo-, shot and almost in- stantly killed William Stebbins, the son of one of the wealthiest citizens of the town Sunday night. Several burglaries have taken place lately. On Sunday night MT. Shellenberg decided to keep watch in his store. About Ii o'clock the rear door was. opened by means of a key, and four masked men entered. As they reached the center of the store Shellen- berg turned on the electric light and or dered them to throw up their hands. Three of them did so, but the fourth started to run, when Shellenberg fired and the man dropped dead. The shot at- tracted a crowd, and the unmasking ot the men caused astonishment. The three who surrendered were Walter Miller, Walter Chittenden, and Roscoe Carr. They confessed to having committed all the robberies. Owing to their social po- sition, and the fact that Stebbins, the leader of the band, was killed, the mer- chants who were robbed refused to prose- cute them. Their relatives made good all the losses.

Rev. Sam Small, D. D., is back in At. lanta and at newspaper work, in prose and verse. Here's fresh sample of the verse: Two thousand rank republicans of most
 offensive hue, Are holding jobs that honestly to Geor.
 gians are due, And now the question will arise-the an-
 swer should be plain If democrats the victory won, where is the
 proof of gain? There are two thousand offlces-to Geor.

 its strong, And what the people want to know is why
 the enemy Is kept on guard when they decreed fol
 straight democracy?

Troy Times: Son pleasant anecdotes are related by the Pittsfield Journal of ex-Senator Dawes. The first of these used freqfuently to be told by Wendell Phillips. It happened that one evening he was at dinner party in Washington where MT. Dawes was also a guest. There had been during the day an exceed ingly bitter and personal debate in which MT. Dawes had been the leader on one side and another guest of the dinner party on the other When the post-prandial speeches came, his opponent, being the first speaker, had the bad taste to attack Mir. Dawes bitterly and personally. The other guests were shocked, and believing that he would reply in the same vein, as he had 8 good excuse for doing, thought the pleasant harmony of the occasion was irretrievably destroyed. When MT. Dawes arose every ear was quick to hear what he would say. He, however, only re- marked that something might be expect ed of him in reply to what had been said, but perhaps the party would pardon him if he disappointed them in that respect !; and he went on with few pleasant re- marks on other subjects. The feeling of relief was so strong and so marked that his assailant took an early opportunity to leave the room, and in MT. Phillips's opinion no one present ever afterward doubted that MT. Dawes was gentle man, whatever else he might be-

w Upon the minds of such priest-ridden
 people as the saaias, .a..saer tss7sfr ancient form of religion, U was but natural that superstition should gain a rooted hold. The most curious and ef- fective belief to which they were made subject was that @ man can be prayed to death-a belief that survives among the natives to the present day. For the suc- cess of the tragical ath-prayer it was necessary to obtain some hair or piece of finger nail of the intended victim. A priest was then employed to use incanta- tion and prayer for his destruction. The efficacy of prayer was terribly illustrated in these cases and the results prove how deeply superstitious fear was implanted in the Hawaiian's heart. Always informed of the doom that the priest was invoking upon him, the victim generally pined away and died. There is story current that an Englishman in the services of Kame- hameha I, having incurred the displeas- ure of 8 priest, the latter proceeded to .ssremove''- him by the death Brayer pro- cess. The Anglo-Saxon, however, set up an opposition altar in derision, and joking ly proclaimed that he intended to pray the priest to death. Alarmed at the threat and overwhelmed at the failure of his own incantations, the sorcerer died, proving
 by his death his faith in his religion.-E

THE selectmen of Palmer, Mass, have been instructed in town meeting to sell liquor license permits (limited in number by law, on the basis of population) to the highest bidders. The idea of so placing these privileges, without regard to fitness Of applicant, is. not a pleasant one to dis
 euss 1t may be presumed fhav unc 'urga- asert used in it's favor is that the buyers ' oT the right in such competitive manner will have 8 keen interest in seeing that others do not enjoy without cost the priv i1ege they pay for; very pretty theory, but one that never blossoms into practice.

 to the announcement, that drinking men cannot have commissions to hold office in the gift of government; when municipal ities not only prohibit policemen from drinking when on duty, but make the be- ing seen drunk in public within the year a bar to appointment; when railroad and other corporations make it apparent that the rule mo drinking man need apply'' has come to stay, more will be done for prohibition than the politicians have ever done. And it is coming to that. Sober men are to be at premium; drinking men at a discount. Public sentiment will endorse such rules. Young women will accept only abstemious lovers employ CTS only abstemious employees.

 The legislative joint standing commit tee on state prison met on Tuesday after noon, prepared to begin the investigation. Senator Jones opened the hearing, saying that the meeting was called to hear any charges which might be preferred against the management of the state prison o1 against the warden of the prison. There was no response and the committee and spectators sat for about five minutes when Senator Jones arose and said: .sThis is no myth. We are not here with white. wash brushes. If any one has any charges to bring against the warden or the man. agement of the prison, now is the time tc present them. If not, this committee will go into executive session." There was again no response, the committee waited a few minutes longer and at 2.12 o'clock went into executive session. The com. mittee remained in executive session about an hour, and Senator Jones then an nouneed that the committee would meet again next day to receive any charges from any person who might choose to pre- sent them.
 The matter will, however, be handled hereafter by special committee, the house having voted yesterday to concur with tht senate in the appointment of such.

bill against Ross Chew, of this city,
charging him with the embezzlement Of
$50 from H. c. Bane. The grand jury
at first placed the costs on the prosecu-

felonious embezz!ement, found it could
not do so. Information reached here

Court fixed a special bail of 81, 900 each
in the suits for damages against Messrs.
