The Cooking Apparatu.-Bishop Tiern

Tho Cooking Apparatus-Bishop Tiernc, N .r +,,,,, to bsin Camp. ,........ Two sets. of the states new cooking apparatus will be issued at Camp Brad ley. one each to Company B. Fourth regiment, and the Fourth section of the machine gun battery. the two organi' xations which have elected to draw uncooked rations and cook their own food In camp.
 The other sets will be held in reserve at the state arsenal for a possible necessity. and may be issued to one regiment for use In camp next year The cost to the state for the fourteen sets Is about $500. This cooking appa. ratus has been adopted by the regular army. nearly 1000 sets having been is. sued.
 General Harbison bought the regular army size. which Is complete outfit for boiling. roasting, baking. stewing. broiling and frying, and includes com plete oven and all cooks tools. Each outfit will cook for nearly 100 persons and weighs less than 200 pounds. The size packed is 30x27xll inches. The apparatus can be set up anywhere outdoors; no hole is required to be dug and any kind of fuel can be used. The decisions of the two organiza- tions to accept uncooked rations on the regular army basis will be of economy to the state as the raw rations will cost the state but twenty cents per day per man. Commissary-General Will liam Jamieson has contracted with ca terers to feed the troops in camp for $7 per man for eight days or SS cents each per day.
 The. troops pay one-half this amount Thus the acceptance of the regular bill | of fare by these two organizations l would have entailed an additional ex- pense to the state of twenty-four cents per man per day, or about $150 for | the week.
 Colonel Doherty has invited Governor Morris and staff to attend divine ser. vice at his headquarters at Camp Bradley Sunday morning. A sermon will be preached by the Rev.. Justin B Twitchell. regimsntal chaplain. General Haven has invited Bishop Tierney to be present with the Rev Thomas W. Frederick in camp Sunday The latter will conduct mass in the Y M. c.

The facts are stated modestly. The picture is not overdrawn. The boom puts the boomee before the citizens of Connecticut exactly as he is. In mak- ing their choice they will make it with full knowledge of at least one of the candidates. At the same time and on the whole it might be better in the ma iority of cases to have booms written by outsiders. In spite of the very best efforts in the cause of sincerity 1t is given to but few men not to overesti- mate, or underestimate, themselves. And a man is just as likely to do the one as the other. An outsider who has a turn for truth, a mind of historic en- uuiry and a freely-not too freely flowing pen, and who moreover has no financial, or other interest, at stake would be a safer boom writer for can didates than candidates themselves. If, moreover, boom writing could be elevated into profession and boom writers appointed as judges, for in stance, what advantage to the commu- nity! Booms would then be read with confidence and not regarded with sus- picion. It would not be necessary for the professional boomers to write out each and every boom. It would be sufficient if they passed on those sub- mitted. Their official seal would be accepted as 8 guarantee of truth.
