In recent letter to the State Highway
Commission of Connecticut Col Albert A.
Pope, the great road reformer, said: SIT
Is commendsble policy to build in the
very best manner possible, 80 that the
common ways may be Of advantage not
only to US but to generations yet unborn.
The mistake of the past has been that
this work was done for day or sea-
son, poor investment which resulted in
the loss of hundreds of millions of dol
lars. A few years since the price Of hay
In Springfield, ILL.,, was $50 ton, and
the market was supplied by railroad from
outside the State, because, though hay
was plenty at $40 ton, the farms within
radius of few miles5were completely
embargoed by mud; and yet not long
ago the Richardson bill, the terms Of
which provided that the cities In New
York would pay three-fourths Of the cost
Va etotC iOau CoustiuCbiOu, Was ucItdJtu
by the farmer element. IL saving Of
~ IL cents per ton per mile could be eff
fected in hauling to and from the depot
the way-freight carried annually on the
New York Central railroad the saving to
the community represented would be
100000 The Connecticut Highway
Commission is entitled to unanimous sup
port In building only the best macadam
and telford roads, and believe the press
of the state should take hold Of the ques-
ton, and by free discussion Of the sub
ject convince the people that good roads
are the only ones worth building. As .
rule, those who complain most loudly
about the first cost of roads are the very
ones who, In the end, reap the greatest
benefit thcrefrom.n

Death from a Pin Stick.

A curious accident has brought Rev.
S. II. Phillips, of Durham, Pa, to what
has proven his death bed. A girIjabbed
him with a pin and blood poison de-
veloped Saturday his left leg was
amputated in the hospital there. When
visiting a neighbor's home, about SIX
weeks ago, he remained for dinner.
He was seated upon the porch chat
ting with several young ladies, when
the call for dinner came. He was
slow in responding and one OF the
ladies took a stick-pin from her throat
and intended to prick him in the leg
with it slightly. As she struck at him
he raised his leg, and the pin was jab-
bed into the flesh to the bone. For
two weeks Rev. Phillips has been dam
gerousIy i'll with blood poison, and
his leg was amputated in the hope Of
saving his lie. But the operation
was in vain, for he died on Wednes-
dav. lie was twenty-niue years old.
