SENATOR JOHNSON.

Senator Johnson of this city has
made his mark during the long session
of the legislature, and it is a credit
mark. He began his legislative work
quietly and modestly, but he soon made
himself felt. His sagacity, his strong
commons sense, his apt and pointed re-
marks, his thorough self-control and
unvarying good temper have made him
an influential and popular senator. He
has shown himself fully equal to all
the duties that have been put upon
him. He has stood up loyalty and
valiantly for the interests of the district
he was elected to represent and in gen
eral legislative work he has been sound
and efficient. No member of the Sem
atehas added more or more creditably to
his reputation during the session than
Senator Johnson. New Haven owes
him the gratitude and the appreciation
due an able and useful public servant.

of the gentle art of matchmaking, 1t
Is a pretty serious matter to pay not
less than one thousand dollars or be I'M
prisoned not less than one year, or

ment Of inducing two fools to marry.
There are other provisions Of this law
which will commend themselves to
those who made 1t, but there is no pro-
vision in 1t against striking cripples'
The omission is a serious one, and we
hope it will be remedied by the next
legislature, If the law Is to stand. A
wise old saw couples the substance of
this law with a command not to strike
cripples. The two should not have been
separated by the legislature, for they

old.
P. S.-Since the above was put in
type we have discovered that the legis-
lature In its closing hours passed bill
providing that people who are already
married need not mind about their epil-
optic, inbecile or feeble-minded condi-
/ ton. They can now stay married If
| they feel like it. This action lets out
many of the people Of the State, in
Guiding all the married members Of the
| legislature. But there is still need Of a
commission to examine the bachelor
members Of the legislature in order
that it may be known whether epilep-
tic Inconsistencies imbecility or fee
ble-mindedness was the cause of their
voting for the original law. They
should not be allowed to be married
until it is certainly known that it is
safe for them to be.

rMBECTLITY. or WHAT?

Some people say that the legislature
which wound up yesterday in blaze
of mutual admiration was a wicked
body. Some say it was not wicked but
weak. And others say it was both
wicked and weak. We shall not at
tempt to decide which Of these opin-
ions is the right one. But we do not
hesitate to say that it made Itself ridicu-
ilous so often as to justify a reputa-
ton for righteousness. One of its most
ridiculous performances was the pas
sage of the bill whose first section pro-
vides that mo man and woman, either
Of whom Is epileptic, imbeciie or feeble
minded, shall intermarry, or live to-
gether as husband and wife, when the
woman is under forty-five years of age"
This isn't quite as fantastic as the bill
passed by another Connecticut legis-
lature prohibiting fishing through the
ice in certain ponds during the summer
months, but 1t will do. 1t doesn't
specify what degree Of epilepsy. i'm
becility or feeble-mindedness is to de-
bar Connecticut people from marriage
or living together as husband and wife
when the woman in the case is under
forty-five years old. There are several
kinds of epilepsy and some Of them
are not very serious. And none Of
them is much more prejudicial to the
Improvement Of the human race than
gaIlopine consumption, or some other
galloping diseases. There are also sew
eral degrees of imbecility and feeble
for any commission to decide when
epilepsy, imbecility and feeble-minded-
ness are sufficiently serious to make
people dangerous in the married state.
IF 1t did we should recommend that
the members of the legislature who
voted for the bill be Immediately ex-
asnined by the commission. The bill
may have been passed during slight
attack of epileptic Inconsistencies or
In a moment of imbecility or feeble
mindedness. If it were, perhaps those
who voted for it ought to be allowed
to be married or stay married until
their symptoms are more pronounced,
but their condition should certainly be
investigated.
1t will be noticed that under this law
such defective Connecticut people as
are described in 1t must not only refrain
from marriage if they are single, but
il they are married they must not
live together as husband and wife.
This ought to make business good
for lawyers and divorce courts. It will
separate some happy families and also
some unhappy ones. In families where
the wife has been reduced to imbecility
by the cruelty and tyranny of the hus-
band, or the husband to feeble-minded-
ness by the active and persistent will
of the wife there will be new deal.
Cruel and tyrannical husbands and
persistent and wil1ful wives will be
let loose to remarry and make more i'm
beetles and feeble-minded ones. Thus
will benefcent law scatter seeds of
kindness.
Not only are those who break this
law for their own especial benefit to
be punished for it, but those who ad-
wise. aid. abet, cause or assist in pro-
curing or eountenance any violation of

A New Rule for stockings.

n New hule Tor stockings.
Torchon lace is again to be admitted
to use on underwear and the simpler
cotton gowns. 1t Is imperative that
only the finer quality be used, for 1t was
the prevalence of loosely woven mesh
that some years ago turned the market
against this really useful and pretty
lace, Night dresses for the warm sea-
son are made sleeveless except for frills
of lace set in the arnhole. A wide sail
or collar turns away from the throat
and the gowns are long and fully two
yards about the hem. Whatever else is

latest ruling with respect to stockings
is that they must match the lining and
