Ex-PREsIDENT RUTHERFORD B. HAYES died at his home at Fremont, Ohio, on Tuesday, aged 70 years. His term of service as president was from 1877 to 1881. He was 8 man of sterling com mon sense, strict probity of character, and kindly nature. His administration was devoted to reform. His policy to- ward the south was too concilatory to please the more radical of his party, even to the extent of calling southern demo- crat to his cabinet. He was man of few words, and considerate of others. Civil service reform got it's first start to- ward fruition under his fostering. He made but little buster about his life work, but history will reserve comfort ble niche for the figure of the ex-presi- dent. Since his retirement from the pres idency he has in his quiet way been ever busy in some philanthropic work. AS president of trustees of the Slater eduea- tion fund, participant in the Lake Mo honk conferences, member of the Indian rights association, president of the na- tional prison reform association, an active member of the national conference of charities and correction, he has had no little to do with the furtherance of good work.

William Johnson writes The Press:
 Nov. 1st, 9a,4I had 23 bullets and 5 old hens. The old hens dropped out'' about the middle of the month, and the bullets had all got to work, and received that month from them 360 eggs. The first from the remaining 22 received that month 481 eggs. Jan. 1st added a flock of 15 bullets and old hens, 13 of the bullets being layers, and 3 of the old hens laying occasionally, and with this added number received the first IA days of this month 294 eggs, which I think pretty fair record for such extreme cold weather, and the accommodations, which are only medium, that have for them.

James D. Gill's 16th annual exhibition of paintings by American artists, which is to open as usual February 1, promises to be one of the most notable of the series in the general quality of the display and in the importance of several of the works which will be shown. Mir. Gill has made his customary New York sojourns, and nearly completed the tale of his pictures, all of which he has personally selected, and with very few exceptions from the studios of the artists, such as when the artist lives abroad, or when he has put his whole production into the hands of some dealer, as is occasionally the case. His list now comprises about 135 works, representing 92 artists.

SMITH 6 MURRAY.

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un- til we've paid our respects and hearty thanks to good old 1892. The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities and we'd have been blind not to have accepted them. The chances for liberal trading were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- ceptional values, brought about by constant watch in all markets for break in prices, thereby securing for our trade the best possible values.
 We'll begin 'e5 with brighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- portunity presented itself in the way Of break in prices While we do not welcome such state of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods; partners will disagree-some of them die stocks have got to be sold cash got to be raised These and other circumstances give us the priv ilege to offer to an appreciative public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Moth ing unworthy is offered.
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.

THE phrase, "an old-fashioned winter" has been worn pretty threadbare this season. Since Christmas the weather has been cold, with scarcely an intermission, and for several successive nights within the week has gone below zero, some very radical thermometers recording 26 de- grees, and quite conservative ones 10 to IS. Sleighing has been fine for week past, but very little warm weather would spoil it all, as the hill-tops were blown nearly bare by the breezes follow ing each snow fall.

IT is decided that Gov. Morris will ap point to the supreme court bench Judge Fenn, now of the superior court, an6 Simeon Baldwin, of New Haven. It is said, also, that he will appoint the fol lowing:
 Railroad commissioners - George NJ. Woodruff of Litchfield, and William O. Seymour of Ridgefield, reappointments and Alexander c. Robertson, of Mont vile, to succeed W. H: Hayward, of Col. chester.
 Labor commissioner-Rob J. Vance of New Britain.
 Dairy commissioner-C.S s. Burlingame of Canterbury.
 Factory inspector-E. Burrows Brown of Groton.
 Judges of the superior court-Jo ohm w. filling of New Haven, Washington F. Wilcox of Haddam, William Hammersley of Hartford.
 There is dispute as to the correctness oi some of these prognostications, but prob. ably all are correct There will be re. gret that the name of B. H. Bill, of Rock. vile, is not in the list of judges to be ap- pointed, but it seems understood that only democrats are to be chosen. We are also sorry that we cannot announce that the excellent suggestion of the name of s. O. Bowen, of Eastford, for dairy commissioner is to be acted upon.
 The annual report of the Bank Con- missioners of Connecticut Stephen Good rich and Charles Griswold) shows that the savings banks of the state have during the year ending Oct. 1, 1899, increased their total deposits from $122, ,5S2, ,159. 71 to $130, ,6s6, 729. .2s-over $s, 10O, ,OOO The commissioners say:
 ''This rapid increase of deposits has al ready made it difficult task for the banks to find legal investments to employ all of their funds, and the income from such investments is materially less than it was a few years ago. This condition, unless it can be relieved by enlarging the field for investments, must, in the near future, compel reduction of dividends to de- positors. We believe this can in meas ure be obviated by a change in the law governing investments by savings banks in municipal and railroad bonds. The present law allows them to invest in au- thorized bonds of incorporated cities of not less than thirty thousand inhabitants, whose indebtedness does not exceed eight per cent. of the valuation of their property made for the assessment of taxes. The changing of the standard of population to twenty or twenty-five thousand would ad- init as legal investments the bonds of many cities which are now excluded, and whose credit is equally as good as that of larger cities. In railroad bonds the law recognizes as legal investment the first mortgage bonds of company which has paid dividends of not less than five per cent. per annum regularly on it's entire capital stock, for period of not less than five years immediately preceding the pur- chase of such bonds, provided it's capital stock equal or exceeds the entire issue of said bonds. A slight change in the law regarding the amount of dividends paid on capital stock to the amount of bonds issued, would enable the banks to invest in some of the most desirable railroad bonds in the country which are excluded by the present law"

THE Hartford Courant probably has had in it's editorial and business manage ment more men of wide reputation than any newspaper in New England, and late indications show that the name of Charles Hopkins Clark is going on the list. His handling of the paper during the senatorial contest has been admirable, giving sub- stantial support to the senator, and cre- ating no wounds for future ranking. On the whole, all engaged in the contest are entitled to great credit for their forbear- ing course during the warmth of the con- test The Bulkeley men acquiesce in good humor, admit that Gen.

IT looks as if Senator Hill, of New York, might be downed in his contest with the president-el His victory in securing the election of MT. Murphy as senator from New York. in the face of MT. Cleveland's protest, may be the be- ginning of his own downfall, since it has caused breach between him and several of his late adherents, who now stand by the president-elect. As sample, Bourke Cochran, in recent interview, has said |: An enemy of MT. Cleveland cannot be friendly with the New York democracy. The future of the democratic party in this state in my opinion lies with MT. Cleve- land. His course has put the party where it is to-day. He has proved himself the man of the party, and the New York democracy will support him against all corners. There is not the least doubt about this. The idea of any democrat at tempting to embarrass the administra- tion of Mir. Cleveland is utterly absurd. We are all with MT. Cleveland, and we are going to do all in our power to aid him in his administration"

A wrinkle in suits and a suit in wrinkles are two different things -.-~sa' Look out for one but keep clear of the other. You know how quickly some suits will wrinkle They look first rate for week or two and then the creases begin to appear Ofcourse they were never starched, but they soon look as though they had been and as though all the starch had been taken out of them. That's one side of the picture. Here's the other: In one of our first class made suits,
 sE..- }5U "either medium or high priced," you could go through trapeze perform ance, providing you happen to be an athlete, without creating a crease or starting seam, and they cost you no more than cheap made goods.

RACING for land at the drop of hat
is part of system that had it's incip-
iency in the early stages of barbarism.
1t is method unworthy this enlight-
ened age and appears to have original
ed with the anclents, who offered emol
uments to those who could exhibit the
most proves In gladltorial and similar
contests. The idea originated (if 1t is
one) when the animal or british pro-
pensities of man outlined all methods
of action, when the law of might is
right" was supreme, and when men
who professed to believe in a higher
code of moral ethics than brute force
or in power more supreme than the
local despot were stoned to death for
heresy. Pending the dissolution of the
Roman Empire. after the masses had
been reduced to penniless pauperism
and slavery by an imperial arlstocra-
cy, these mobs of hungry plebians
would congregate in the streets of
Rome by thousands, and the fears fer
their PERSONAL safety slQgld a riot be
started induced the rich senators and
others to go out upon their marble por-
ticoS and throw silver coin amongst the
raoO!e. y general scramble .*ohld en-
sue in which the ragged and emaciated
would :ight like hyeuaS over the coin.
So long as this could be kept up it
would Stave off riots because the hope
Of obtaining some of the coin would
dispel thoughts OF anarchy and in
cendiariSm. That was working OF the
system We have under discussion And
now III the nineteenth century. III an
age of profeSsed civilization, the peo-
pie are having performance similar in
operation if not in detail. 1t can only
be compared, and possibly the depart
neHt iias already appreciated the apt
ness of the smile, 10 the sudden STAN
peed of Texas cattle or the tossing of a
hind quarter Of beef amongst horde
of ravenous CANNES after tantaliziDg
them with the sight of it for long
time. There surely should be other
means CT opsning new lands to settle
ment than such uneiyiIiSed Rraeeed
ings, Most any other way would be
preferabis, although every one proposed
has found objectors. 1t is too late to
offer any suggestions now. or to eriti-
else with any hope of affecting the sit
uation of affairs; so all we can do is to

DEATH To SILVER
The House Passes the Repeal Bill by
Vote of 24O to 100.
THE WEST AND SOUTH IGNORED.
Defeats I6 to l Amendment BY 226
to I24, Nearly Every Repub-
lican Voting Against Silver.
THE WEST AND SOUTH IGNORED
POPULIsTs REFUSE COMPROMISE.

The vote in the house. Monday. resulted in a
victory Tor the gold standard money kings OF
the East. Although the silver champions had
the best of the argument all along, the East
ern representatives got in their work on the
vote, and every effort to save even the least
remnant of silver legislation was crushed to
earth by eastern gold. The first vote taken
was ON BANDS amendment of free coinage at
10 to l. and the vote on this practically demon
strated the strength of both Sides 124 votes
were cast for the amendment and 20 against.
The political complexion OF this vete is start
ling. Of the 124 who voted for free silver at
10 to l, 100 were democrats, IL populists, the
rull voting strength of that party, and only ID
republicans. Against the amendment there
were ia democrats and liz republicans. The
IL republicans who voted for silver were from
some OF the Western states. including the
three from Kansas. The whole Kansas dele
cation responded on the first roll call.
After the Ii to amendment was defeated
others were called up in the order of the
ratio proposed. but the golden phalanx were
determined to exterminate the white metal
and the votes on all did not vary materially
after the first vote on I6 to was taken. The
difference after that was caused by the popu-
--~~
ment except the l6 to /, scorning compromise
The telegraphic report says: THE third party
men refused to vote when Mr.. BANDS second
amendment providing for free coinage at q II
to ratio came before the house. Messrs
Simpson and Baker Of the Kansas contingent
heard their names called, but stared at the
clerk in silence" Bravo, for our boys.
In looking over the names it is seen at a
glance that the vote was almost purely section
al, the West and South against the East. with
the divided ground in Illinois on the west and
Kentucky on the south.
The vote. on the various. propositions was as
follows;
For free coinage at the ratio of 16 toI-For
124; against 226.
For free coinage,,at the ratio of II tol-For
100; against 240.
