as many great inventions made in the
U United States as in all the rest of the
world. The English may be considered the
most skillful manufacturers of high class
WOODEN goods. They are quite equal to any
in the manufacture of velvets and plushes.
The handmade double-barrelled guns used
for sporting purposes have reached a higher
degree of excellence in England than in any
other country. The English also have
leading position as builders of ships and
marine engines. Microscopic and photo

OLD BLUE LAWS NEARLY GONE.
The Latest Repeal Legislation in the Con
nectieut General Assembly-An Interest
ing Review of the Ancient Sunday Laws. |

The bill that has passed both houses of
the Connecticut legislature, repeating the
old blue" law that has been in force
since 1851, giving justices of the peace
sum mary power in sentencing persons
charged with profane swearing, coursing
or Sabbath breaking. is now awaiting
the governors signature. The bill con-
tinuing the advance that has been made
by the present legislature by repeating
the provision in the general statutes
which has for 100 years or more denied
the right of appeal from Justices decis-
ions in cases of proclamation of the Sab
bath and swearing, has been reported
favorably from the Judiciary committee,
and will be passed without question.
This legislation, says the Hartford Times
cannot be seen in it's true meaning with
out review, at least of the ole Sunday
laws that dominated the State of Con-
necticut at the beginning of the century,
The revision of the general statutes,
which was made in 1908 contains a mass
of Sunday enactments, applying to per-
sonal conduct, that would not now he
tolerated for an hour. Under the revis-
ion in question all persons were required
to apply themselves carefully to the
duties of religion and riety on the Lords
day. and There was a fine Of so cents for
not attending chulch. This law in gen
eral was adopted in the colonial revision
of 1902, being modelled from an act of
Massachusetts relating to the observance
of the Lords day, passed in 1922. The
provision finipg person for not attend
ing chucrh was repeated in May, 1914.
No vessels were allowed TO sail from
any Connecticut port or harhor on Sun
day, or to pass any town or society on
the Connecticut river, where worship
was in progress. Concerts of music on
Sunday were prohibited by the revision
of 1884. The old Presbyterian" idea of
keeping Saturday night, no work being
allowed after sunset, was embodied in q
statute as early as 1909, being copied
from a Massachusetts law. Idling was
not allowed in public inns after shutdown
Saturday, and drinking WAS likewise
prohibited. The neglect Of offenders to
pay the fines imposed was punished by
whipping, the stripes not to exceed 30 in
numb The provision authorizing the
whipping of such offenders was repealed
in October, 1912. Children under IA years
Of age were to be punished by their par-
ents for PROCLAMATION of the Sabbath or
Lords day. In case the parents neglected
to infiict the punishment they were SUBJ
jected to a fine of SO cents. No traveller,
droyer, wagner or teamster was allowed
to travel on Sunday. The maximum fine
for the offense was SO. 81. Half of that
amount was the minimum fine. Eighty
four cents was the penalty for each per-
son meeting with Others in companies,
for going from place to place except to
attend upon the public worship OF God
or some work of necessity or mercy.
Dancing and concerts of music on Sun

day were prohibited by the revision Of
1854. In 1923 law was passed forbid
ding the warnings of meetings of a secular
character to be placed on the doors of
meeting houses on Sunday. The law
regulating the sailing of vessels was
adopted eight years earlier. The courts
held that offenders against Sunday laws
were not entitled to trial by jury. An
other given on the Sabbath day was void.
1t was held that an apprentice compelled
to violate the Sabbath was not bound
to remain with his employed.
In the revision of 1888 travellers, droy-
ers, wagoners and transfers were allowed
to travel on Sunday from necessity or
charity" Games, plays and recreation
were expressly prohibited. But the
United States mail was allowed under
this revision to be carried through the
State on the Lords day. 1t was this re-
vision also that first recognized the
Seventh Day Baptists, the law providing
that persons honestly and conscientiously
observing Saturday as day of worship
should not be amenable to the Sunday
statutes. 1t was not until 1888 that the
law prohibiting servile labor and recrea-
ton on days appointed + public fasting
and Thanksgiving under fine was re-
pealed
The courts Wrangied over evidence adj
missable to show intent of riding on the
Sabbath and grand jurors, on sight, mr.
rested and detained offenders against the
Sunday laws.
The revision Of 1866 even retained the
provision authorizing the churches to APP
point each two "tythingmen" annually
to attend to carrying out the sunday
statutes. The general revisions of the
statutes since 1903 have mostly shown
diminishing series of'Sunday enactments,
until now the whole lot can be EN- braeei
in four specific passages. The revision
of 1887 contains only four laws, brief,
clear and explicit, under the title of
Sunday laws. The only obnoxious pro-
visions in the series have now been ex-
plunged or will be in few days.
The attempt to modify the railroad
statutes, authorizing the running of
Ounuay excursion Trains has not met
with any favor. Vice President John NJ.
Hall, who represents the public senti-
ment thoroughly stated before the COM
mittee Thursday that the Consolidated
road does not care to go into the Sunday
excursion business. The whole course
of tle Con solidated road on the Sunday
problem has been conservative, recognize
ing the necessity for reasonable laws in
governing Sunday work. The managers
of the road from the outset have been
ayerse to the Sunday excursion idea.
Back in the old days, when only single
car through to New York, was run on
Sunday, they discouraged local travel by
selling only one price tickets, the pass
enger beng required to pay as much to
Meriden or New Haven as he would to
New York on that day. None of the
Sunday laws have been repealed by the
present legislature The repealed provis-
ions relate to the higher courts.

children are now under the tuition of stu
dents from Atlanta University.

WORLDS BEST MECHANICS.

Head of the List

Hiram S. Maxim Gives Interesting Obser-
vations on an Important subject-How
Trades Unionism has been Unwise in
England.
Mr.. Hiram S. Maxim. the native OF this
State, whose machine guns have given him
great fame and wealth, has given to the
New York Sun very interesting interview
concerning the mechanical skill and re-
sorres of different nations. A portion OF
what he says is as folloWs
There can 5e no question that England
is not only the rlchest nation in the world
to-day, but also the richest that the world
has ever seen. Never before in the history
of the world has there been SO much accu-
mulated capital and wealth We find in
the city of London to-day. This wealth is
the accumulation of many hundreds of
years. and represents the profits on manu-
featuring and commerce which have been
carried on in these islands. No matter in
what country we travel we find that wher-
ever there is an opportunity of employing
capital profitably, there is an Englishman
looking out for an opportunity of placing
1T.
If we go to Spain we find English capital
water works, and, to some extent, in the
mines of the country. The same is true in
Turkey. Italy, and Austria. We also find
that English capital is largely invested in
Russia. while in tae United States the
quantity of British capital invested is en-
ormous. Many large manufacturing con-
Germs in the States at the present time have
recently been bought out by English CAPT
+,li, hoip E,oif cd
liability companies.
''All these foreign invest ments of British
capital, of course, give emp loyment to a
great number of men. and the reason why
these investments are sought abroad is that
the English capitalist finds that his money
brings him better returns in giving en-
ployment to foreign workmen than to his
couDtrymen. Moreover, capitalists do not
like to be bullied by low politicians and vul-
gar labor agitators. Forty years ago Eng
land WAS by far the greatest manufacture
ing nation in the world. In America. if
any one wanted good saw, a good plane,
reliaple file. OF chisel that could be de-
pended upon. he insisted that it should be
made in England nothing except of English
make would bring fair price. AT the pres
ent moment the Americans not only make
to England. At the time when it was nee
essary to pay forty per cent. duty on Eng
]ish steel to get it into the United States.
the Americans purchased it. took it at the
States, paid 40 per cent. duty. manufac-
tured it into twist drills and other small ar
ticles, paid about one and half times the
daily wages demanded in England, and sold
at price considerably below what the
he in Fin
land, a much better article than ever had
been made Sere. Take the Morse twist
drills for instance. l have no doubt that
these are largely manufactured from Eng
lisi steel on which a duty has been paid.
Still, they are very largely sold in England
Today. In fact, if anyb body wants a relia-
BILE one they always demand the American
drill made by the Morse Twist Drill Com
pany.
