 | Great praise is given MT. Charles V. | Woodbridge, the young man who was very instrumental in making this, the
 first of a series of ''hops" such a success, and the next one is awaited with much | interest by his friends.
 Wednesday evening was another grand gala night at Woodmont-on-the- Sound.
 Over 2,0OO people enjoyed the splendid concert given by the Governors Foot Guard band of New Haven on Lawn park. The airs played were catchy and | up to date. Encores were frequent, and old and young were entranced by the
 sweet music, During the playing of
 "Auld Lang Syne' nearly the whole vast audience under the able leadership
 of MT. Stevens and Jerry Atwater, sang
 that good old song as it was never sung
 before. Many grand illuminations were
 noticed, those deserving os special men
 tion being the residences of General
 IIawley, Colonel Wooster, Mrs. Towne, | Commodore Hitchcock, Samuel Gled- | hill, MT. Andrews and the Pembroke ho- 1 tel. In fact, the whole beautiful settle
 ment was one blaze of glory from end | to end The searchllght maneuver of | the Providence and Fall River steam boats were highly appreciated by all.
 The magnificent display of fireworks
 contributed by genial Jerry Atwater of
 New Haven was kept up during the en- tire evening, and to say they were only beautiful would be very tame, for with out exception it was the finest private display ever seen along the shore
 The balloon ascension with elaborate I fireworks attachments caused many a lhurrah and could be seen very plainly from the many shore resorts within | twenty-five miles of New Haven. The l decorations of wild flowers, ferns and
 grasses provided and arranged by the
 young ladies were much admired
 The following named gentlemen, to- gether wit many other cottagers, en- l tertained their friends in a handsome
 manner: Messrs. Atwater and Stevens, at the Pembroke; General Hawley, as sisted by ex-Mayor Peck of New Fla ven, c. H. Trowbridge of Milford and | MT. Andrews, at Summer Rest cottage; | Commodore Hitchcock, assisted by w. N. Middlebrook and MT. Howe of Bridge port, at Marina Camp cottage. Never was there such night of jollification; | the curtain drops here; fairyland is no Imore. The Woodmont amusement com-
 mittee deserves great credit for the able manner in which the program as adopt ed for the seasons entertainment Is ba- | ing carried out.

the fare Is only ten cents, Despite this fact the drivers complain that bus mess is dull, and say that more than the usual number prefer to walk to the gates, One driver said this morning by way of explanation that most of the people had become used during the re- cent business depression to walk every where, and have found that walking is a much more satisfactory way of tray cling short distances, to say nothing of the economy. The bus business Is said to be ruined.
 Everything tonight is being prepored for the big show tomorrow, and all the citizen soldiers will be at their best tomorrow, Tonight was spent in polishing brass buttons, and metal trimmings to the uniforms, while every tent was given an especial cleaning out to be ready for 'visitors" in the morn ing. Prayer was sent on high for cool weather for Governors Day, and if these petitions be answered the men promise to show their commander in chief some work in drills which will eclipse anything he has yet seen. The men are determined to bear out tn statements and ranking of Major Bab- cock when he pronounced them the "best National Guard he has ever in- spected."
 The visitors are commencing to arrive here for the exercises of Cover nor's Day at camp, which is tomorrow. It is expected that the visitors in camp tomorrow will exceed in number those in other years. The exercises to-mor- row will consist of the regular drill in the morning, and in the afternoon from ? until o'clock, there will be the reg mental parades and the brigade forma- ton. The governor tonight held a re- ception to the militiamen, many of whom called at the governors tent and paid their respects to the states exec
 utive. Tonight the Tihrd regiment band gave a concert in front of Gener- al Havens tent.
 Governor Coffin has become weary ot the life of a soldier, or at least the part of the militiamens life of sleeping in a tent on the camp ground. Tonight he went back to the Morton house, where he has suite of rooms for the week. The military ball which has been a feature of camp for many years will probably be omitted this year for the reason that the proprietors of the ho, tels demand exorbitant prices for quar. ters for the ball. This afternoon the matter was discussed by the officers and it was practically decided not tc give the ball this year.

 approval of a critical public. The health-giving properties of the pine re- zion in this vicinity are becoming wide ly known and appreciated, and it is safe to say that the time is not far dis tant when this will be one of the most favored resorts to be found in the country.
 Another expanse of water not much known to tourists, but which, although much smaller in size than Lake Dun more, will amply repay visitor, is Silver lake. It is charming resort, an ideal spot for one in search of peace and quiet, as well as the beautiful in nature. Several sketches were taken of this picturesque locality, Miss Me Intosh contenting herself with the thought, on leaving, of visiting it later in the year.

COURT RECORD.
An Old Opinion of the Supreme Court
 Bearing on the Statute of Limitations

| l Bearing on the Statute of Limitations l Ex-Judge William B. Stoddard, in looking up the law on the constitution ality of the act regarding bounties, re- called a case which he had when he l was associated with the late George H. Watrous in Frances E. Wheeler's ap- peal from probate. The commissioners | on the insolvent estate of George B. Wheeler of Milford, deceased, made this report and no appeal was taken within | the twenty-one days allowed by law.
 This was in February, 1877, and a | month after the general assembly pass
 ed this resolution:
 Resolved by the assembly, that ap- | peals may be taken from the doings of l the commissioners upon the estate of l George B. Wheeler late of Milford, | deceased, at any time within twenty
 one days from the rising of the general assembly"
 ! On this resolution an appeal was talk en to the superior court. Counsel for I the appellee set up, first, that the ap- peal was improperly taken and second, ! that it was taken more than twenty one days after the return of the com | missioners' report. The appellant de- murred to the first part of the plea | and replied to the second part that the general assembly had authorized an
 appeal. To this the appellee demurred l on the ground that the resolution was I unconstitutional, and upon these plead | ings the case was reserved for the ad- vice of the supreme court.
 ! The supreme court decided that the l resolution was constitutional and Judge Loomis in his opinion said that if the | resolution should be tested by the de- cision of the courts of the other New England states and the state of New York and Pennsylvania, which were cited by counsel for the appellee, it | must be declared void.
 And such a weight of legal author ity we should accept as conclusive" continues the opinion. were it not ob- ! iOo9, LlOlli tllC oCoL hiSNpl y Ol OuE own | jurisprudence and long continued legis- lative practice, that We have reserved
 a much larger field for legislative act
 ion than has ever been recognized in | the states referred to-"
 | And further on the opinion says: "The act at the most only effects the remedy, but not the debt, or any of the grounds on which it rests; it de- termines no right of the appellant and affects injurlously no right of the appel 1 lees. And in these respects it may be distinguished from an act extending the statute of limitation after it had already runs against the claim; for in such case it Is considered that no fur ther legal obligation rests on the debt or, and he has perfect defense in law. of which he should not be deprived without his consent. There are legal authorities of great weight which de- clare such an act invalid; but how it
 would be regarded in this state we hays no occasion to decide"
 The United States supreme court has also given opinions sustaining decision of the circuit court of Georgia and the
 supreme court of Texas, holding valid acts suspending the statute of limita-

The State Pharmacy Commission |
 Crowded With Work.

The State Pharmacy Commission Is
 Crowded With Work.
 The state pharmacy commission is crowded with work this year. Ordinari- ly only five meetings are held annually and only two regular meetings, one in September and one in December, re- main. But recently practical demon strations have been required of appli- cants and it is impossible under the new rule to examine more than five candi- dates a day. There are now twelve ap- plicants and it is thought it will be nec- essary to hold at least four extra meet ings during the remainder of the year. The first extra meeting will probably be held next month. The pay of the pharmacy commission is quite meagre, considering the amount of work involv- ed.

But it is not as to the supreme court JUS

there is subserviency to or hostility
against the railroads depending upon
whether the favors were ample or not as

Every interest involved suffers from
this evil; the candidates have so many

ways to get even. Should not this thing

IT IS perfectly plain to all intelligent
readers of history and students of politi-
cal phenomena, that not only is change
impending in the issues in American
politics, but forces and factors are az
work throughout the whole of our west
ern civilization, which show that an era,
that following mediaevalisn, is closing,
and society is about to assume new rela-
tions, new aspects, and to accommodate
old traditions and customs to new condi-
tions.-Salina Republican-J
Carroll D. Wright, the United States
commissioner of labor, voiced the same
sentiment recently when he said that we
are in the midst of silent revolution.
The contention is between two great
modern ideas of government both of
which are bent on crowding out the orig
inal design. The contest is between
paternalism on the one hand, as Illus
trated by the Pacific railroads, the nat
ional banks and the protective tariff; and
fraternalism on the other, characterized
by a demand that the government shall
own and operate all public utilities FOR
the common interest of the people. Be
levers in both theories are to be found
in all political parties at present, but
whenever these opposing sentiments
shall crystalline in the form of two oppos I
ing political parties, then the question
will be settled.
