Hartford Courant: MT. Fessenden was nominated last evening for speaker by exclamation, and no one doubts his abil- ity to fill the office to the satisfaction of his associates and the state. He is man of large experience among men, with a clear voice, quick wit, and 8 noteworthy fund of tact. He is well versed in par liamentary procedure and will step at once into his position thoroughly equipped for his duties. He will also step into a very large opportunity. The selection of MT. Fessenden for speaker naturally puts Judge Elmer into the chairmanship of the judiciary committee and leader on the floor of the house. Judge Elmer is an- other man of exceptional brightness. His brilliant speech in behalf of Governor Cof- fin and his able management of the gov ernor's campaign in the state convention revealed to those who already did not know him his qualities of oratory and leadership. He will excellently fulfill the responsible duties for the place.

HOLLAND county had large recognition In the opening of the legislative session at Hartford. Representative Washburn, of Stafford, was chairman of the republi- can house caucus, and Senator Fuller, of Holland clerk of the senate caucus. Rep resentative Hicks, of Holland, was demo- cratic nominee for speaker. Rockville furnishes the clerk of the house. Repre- sentatives Converse, of Stafford, and Hall, of Willington, served on important republican caucus committees and as tellers in the caucus. Senator Fuller is chairman of the committee on insurance, also was chairman of committee to in- form the house that the senate was ready to meet in joint convention, and when the house committees are announced it is safe to say that important places will be given to the Stafford representatives, and to Hall, of Wilmington, in recognition of pre- vlous valuable service as legislators.

The case of state vs. William Conlon was argued in the supreme court at Hart ford on Wednesday of last week. MT. Conlon opened temporary store in Rock vile for the sale of boots and shoes, and refused to take out license, as required by the law of 1893, claiming that the law was unconstitutional The case has ex- cited much interest throughout the whole state, and the decision of the court will anxiously looked for, inasmuch as it will indirectly determine the validity of the peddling clause of the law. The case was argued by J. J. Desmond, of Nor wieh, and Charles B. Perkins, of Hart ford, for Mir. Conlon, and by States Alt torney Reed for the state.

Hartford Times: Senator Hill dined with the president last week. It was the first time he had entered the white house for about two years. It is understood that Secretary of War Lamont brought about the special invitation to Senator Hin. Cabinet officers and some other
 distinguished citizens were present. It is asserted that there was no political significance to the appearance of Senator Hill at the presidents table. But there was political significance in the event. It means 8 more friendly relationship be- tween President Cleveland and Senator Hill, and Secretary Lamont may be con- graduated upon his success in bringing about these friendly relations, which will unite and greatly strengthen the demo- cratic party in New York state. z-.-.

The American Missionary begins the new year and 49th volume with a new coyer and many topographic improve ments, also using a better grade of paper, fermitting the printing of the finest half tone illustrations. This publication rep resents one of the most worthy of be- lnevolent Organizations in the country, the l-A...-utis.. Missionary Association, devot- ed to religious and educational work on rshe frontier and among the Indians and Negroes. Its subscription price, 50 cents D year, besides securing a handsome monthly, is contribution to the work of uplifting.
 Recorder Golf proposes to dismiss from his court all officers who are ''prosperous saloon keepers" This seems entirely req sonable, for a man who runs a saloon prosperously cannot well devote his best energies to his duties as court officer. The incident Illustrates the sort of men who have been allowed to hang about the New York courts and draw salaries for incidental services.

COLD CHURCHES.
A Fertile Cause of Bad Colds and |
Other Troubles.

Fertile Cause of Bad Colds and
Other Troubles.
From the Popular Health Magazine.
Cold churches are often the cause of Sc
rious colds and catarrhs. While this fact
should not keep persons from church. it
ought to teach the sections how to heat a
large building properly. In the coolest
weather, and especially when it is damp,
the stone or brick walls Of large building
become thoroughly chilled, and it takes the
i, a long time to penetrate the whole
building and counterfeit this chill.
Usually the fire for Sunday is begun late
Friday night. or Perhaps not until Satur-
day. and while the furnaces or heating ap-
paratus may give forth abundance of
heat, still the warm air has not been in the
building long enough to permeate every
corner and take off the chill, and it is often
noticeable that while the church seems
to be warm, Judging by the thermometer,
there is a cold feeling in the air.
If fires in such large buildings were
started early in the week and kept up at
a moderate rate for four five days. very
little fire on Sunday would keep the build
ing at pleasant habitable temperature
A small fire for four or five days heats bet
ter and with just as little expense as q
roaring blaze kindled on Saturday. Church
committees often find fault with the heat
ing apparatus on a cold day, when the
manner and time of building the fires are
at fault. Then, too, a gradual heating of
such building allows of better ventilation
than the sudden warming up the day be-
fore the building is used.

FLOWERS ARE PERFUMED.
How SunfOwcrs Are Made to Smell
Like the Rose.

From the New York Worlt..
To artifcially perfume flowers is the latest
fad in Paris. 1t has been found possible
not only to take away from flower the
odor given to it by nature, but actually
make it yield perfume derived from some
other vegetable product.
There are, for instance, certain vioiets
with little or no odor, but very beautiful as
to form, while there are others that are
poor to look upon, but very rich In perfume
The transfer of the odor from one species
to the other has been successfully perform
Ell in Paris
Again. the African marigoli which ia
a handsome flower, has been robbed of its
evil odors and given perfume that makes
II really vail able and delicious. This fad
for perfuming flowers has even been pushpd
to the absurd length of imparting the odor
OF the rose TO the sunfiower while chrysan-
themums have been made to smell like the
violet
According to the method pursued the
flowers are placed in a box the interior of
which has been cooled with ice. Leading
INTO this box is a pipe with holes bored in it,
ihrough this pipe a current of carbonic
acid gas perfumed with the desired odor is
sent: This current is produced by the evap-
Grafton of the liquid carbonic acid, which
is passed through a worm" like that used
in distilling whisky. The heated carbonic
tubhies up through mass of the essential
Gil CONTAINING the perfume and takes on the
properties of the oder, which is then i'm
parted to the flowers in the box.
This machine is most commonly used in
strengthening the natural perfume of GER
tain flowers. like violets and roses. In this
way an intense perfume is obtained, which
Will last for many days
When 1t is desired TO first rob a flower of
its natural odor before giving it that of
some other flower, it is STEPPED in bromated
water and then washed. In the case of the
African marigold, which was robbed of its
smell, the seeds were first allowed to soak
for two days in rose water containing lit
tie musk. They were then partially dried
and Sown.
The flowers that grew in time We're not
entirely deprived of their bad odor. but one
was able to detect mingled with the original
smell, the agreeable odors of the rose and
the musk. The seeds of these plants being
again sown after similar treatment it was
found that there was still further improve
