Hog Pens VS.. Health.

Our City Council have frequently been i'm
portuned 10 pass an ordinance to abolish hog
pens within The coporate limits. So many
ccomnlGint. have been made 10 Dr. J. Howell
Billingslea, the Health Officer, that he and
committee of citizens went before the Council
ON Monday night and made an urgent request
10 have All hog pens abolishRd.
The Council yill act upon the. matter at
their next regular meeting, and il is to be
hoped that the keeping hogs within the city
limits after January lst, next, will be pro-
hibited. Westminster had more more sum
mer boarders and visitors the past season than
ever before, and if we wish ta keep up onr
reputation for health we will have TO do all in
our power to make our little city attractive
and free from offensive odors.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS FOR TOWN
 AUTHORITIES

An observing correspondent calls atten- tion to matters that ought to be corrected in his parish of West Woodstock, which will fit almost every village to consider.
 Now that the legislature has authorized towns to provide sidewalks in villages and an expenditure of 15 per cent. of the taxes for this purpose, we hope there will be an end of the ragged work and mutilation on the road sides in the villages. We have noticed with indignation the gouging along the portion which should be re- served for 8 footpath in this vicinity, while in the eastern part of the town the greatest respect is observed along the side walks, so that not only the convenience of the villagers but the attractiveness of the place is enhanced. Very little has been done on the roads in this parish. Dama- ges have been wrought by loose or rolling stone, of which the roads have been full And every rain that fell was followed by puddles of water that last long enough to obI1ge every carriage owner to wash his vehicle again and again. One of our cit zens has christened them "selectmen's looking-glasses," as they reflect so fre- quently the beauty CD of road admins tration.
 Making good roads costs money; so do repairs of carriages, harness and bro- ken limbs. Enough time and labor is wasted in washing carriages, after riding through these official mirrors, to repair all the highways in town.
 Another matter to which selectmen are expected, by law, to give their attention, is that of abating nuisances, encroach. ments on the highway, such as barnyards woodpiles, carts and other vehicles, lum Der, etc., which are left obstructing the footpaths, endangering life and limb, par. ticularly at night, and cattle and horses running at large. Citizens generally ob serve the law. Official action is more ef fective than that of private persons. Putnam Patriot.

A WONDERFUL TALE OF MIR.
 DEPEW.
HE ADMITS ITS TRUTH, EXCEPT IN FOUR
 "MINOR" POINTS.

MINOR" POINTS.
 In denying a story concerning the New York Central railroad during last week, Chauncey M. Depew said that he had no more idea how the story originated than he had of how another story originated which was printed all over Europe while he was abroad recently. He said the story as printed was as follows:
 "lt was many years ago when Jenny Lind paid her historic visit to America She was to sing in Albany, and tickets sold at great price for those days. On the evening that she was to sing, just be- fore going to the concert hall, a messen- ger boy brought her telegram. She tore it open, and the boy waited for an answer. She glanced up, and seeing that the boy was bright-eyed little fellow, asked him if he did not like music. He replied that he did. She then asked him if he would not like to hear her sing. He replied that he would, but that he did not have the money to buy ticket. She was so taken with his bright face and general appearance that she gave him ticket. Many years later, when the great diva was living quietly at home after her re- tirement from the concert stage, gentle man visited her in her beautiful European home. He sent in his card, and in few moments the great singer came out to meet him. He said to her:
 "'Do you remember some years ago upon your visit to America you gave poor messenger boy a ticket to go and hear you sing in Albany?
 "The diva thought for a moment, and then recalled the incident clearly. Then the stranger replied, feeltngly: I am that boy. 1 am Chauncey M. Depew. By diligence and devotion to duty 1 have made my way along in the world. I am now president of the Chicago and North western railroad. Always in my strug- gle through life your voice, an angel voice 1t seemed to me, has rung in my ears and spurred me on to a better and nobler life. I owe all to you, for the pathetic pleading of your wonderful voice pierced my boyish nature and reused a latent ambition to be worthy of such a friend To-day l come to tell you that to you owe all that am.'
 "Here the great man shed tear, and she sympathetically grasped his hand and told him how glad she was that she had been an instrument in building up and ennobling such a grand nature. Then a beautiful and holy friendship sprang up between the famous in the world of music and the fan ous in the world of finance and literature and politics, that was only ended by her death."
 "That was the story" said MT. Depew, 'as heard it everywhere. Finally, the newspapers sent men to me for my yer sion of the platonic attachment between myself and the famous singer. l said to them that the story was absolutely cor rect except in four minor points. In the first place, I never was a messenger boy. In the second place, never saw Jenny Lind in America. Thirdly, never saw her in Europe, and, ill the fourth place, I am not president of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. Outside of that l admitted that the story was all tIue."

"Dr. Norvin Green" says "Megargee," in The Philadelphia Times, ''the long time president of the Western Union Tel egraph Company, claimed that he gave Edison the employment which was the beginning of his successful career, to which, as Is we'll known, the Western Un- ion corporation has largely contributed. Edison had been bothering the officers of the company with telegraphic devices they had no need of. He came into the office one day when 1t was impossible to obtain communication between New York and Albany, and the seat of the difficulty could not be located. He was bantering- ly invited to remedy the trouble. He said he could do so in two hours. He was laughed at and given two days for the task. His process was very simple. He telegraphed to the best operator in Pitts burg, and instructed him to telegraph to the best operator in Albany. The latter telegraphed his New York line down as far as he could, feeling his way from pOIuI GO pOlub1 duu S6uuIuS GIlo E6SulUS lO the Pittsburg man, who forwarded them to Edison. In less than one hour Edison said to the anxious officials The break is two miles from Poughkeepsie.' That simple method insured his status with the Western Union people, and won for him a hearing in all his schemes"

Josiah M. Hubbard, the peach commits sioner., says that theswork of the commts- sion5f this year is done, and his report will show that over half & million trees have been condemned. This, statement wilIDHrprise many who have not consid- cred this as much of a peach growing state. MT. Hubbard says that there are no peaches grown that compare with those raised in this state, for flavor. The com- missioner and his deputies this year have been more busily engaged than in any year since the commission was organized. A larger number of deputies was employ ed this year. There were some objections to the decision, condemning trees, and few appealed, but except in the instance of one tree the decision of the commis- s1oner has been sustained. It took twelve years of hard, persistent work to extern lnate 'Eyellows'' in Michigan, and this is only the third year in this state. Mir. Hubbard is of the opinion that the com
 missioners have the disease we'll in hand. Thenumber of trees destroyed this year would indicate that there is as yet little abatement of the disease. To-day there IS better understanding of the work of the commissioners on the part of the growers and the growers have better idea of the method of caring for the trees and handling the disease, and he thinks that there will be 8 gradual elimination of the number of trees destroyed, until Connecticut orchards are full of healthy trees. Next year the work will be car- rted along on about the same plan as this year and he looks for hearty co-opera- tionS on the part of all fruit growers.
