QUESTION OF VeRACITY.

Th,. Mertdeu Journal ReItsrates What
 It said About Representative Hall.
 The Meriden Journal has given the lie to Representative Hall. It says:
 Though he is now inclined to hedge, Representative Warren l.. Hall of Water bury certainly did tell the Journals legis- lative correspondent last week that his reason for introducing that bill to repeal the law giving women in this state the right to vote on ell school matters, was because the present law was not taken ad- vantage of by the better class of women and he didn't believe in keeping on the books law that brought only the uade. sirable class of women to the polls.
 That's just what Mr Hall said, no matter what he may say now. And the WATERBURY DEMOCRAT appears to have got at hls true motive. It seems that Mir Hall was greatly dissatisfied with the re- suit of the last school election in Water bury. The \. r. A. made determiped effort to defeat the democratic, nominees on the school ticket. because of their re- ligaous faith. The result was that au un- usually large number of women registered and voted the dsmocratic ticket. and. by their votes, it was successful.
 "Georce NJ. Gum of Milford is chair. man of the committee which will hear ar crments for and against MT Halls bill At last accounts Mir Gum was working overtime getting ready to give Mir Hall and his bill just the sort of reception thAI women's rights or political equality club: would give them, had such club the power of Mir Gunns committee"
 The Bridgeport Farmer says: Represen tativs Hall of Waterbury who introduced the bill for the repeal of the law allowing women to vote for school officers, says h, does not believe that the Intelligen women of Connecticut want to vote bu that the classes that are not so intelli gent. why, they can be induced to go t' the polls and vote at these elections. St think the law should be repealed becaus the intelligent women don't taEe any in terest in it" MT Hall will not be happ. after he has had an interview with Mr l Isabella Beecher Hooker on the subject.

The way to get rid of Tramps is to draft them into the regular army. They are alto cether too numerous and are setting bad example to the rising generation by show iuc that they can live without labor. I be- lieve the tramps in this country are equal in number to the standing army of any nation in Europe. TrAmps as a rule are healthy and able bodied men and with strict discipline. cleanness and good food. would make good soldiers. As long as we are obliged to support these fellows and the United States are asking for new re- cruits for the army the tramp should be forced into military service and the day will come when he and the people in gen. eral will bless you for your actions and will sell you Washburn Crosby company Flour for s 95 if you give my man an emuty barrel and a hundred pounds of white Extra c Sugar for a 9s.

Every atom of scenery used Tn tho pro- duction of She Couldn't Marry Three :" is specially built for the play. There are over three tons of it: it is worth goi lg miles to see. One of the most notable scenes in the play is picture of the Cor niSh coast. with practical revolving light house and moonlight on the ocean; also the view of Carboy's abbey with cTumb- ling walls and clinging ivy. a scene SC beautiful as to baffle description. In the last act of the play is shown an exact representation of Dineley tunnel, one oi the most stupendous and natural railroad scenes ever produced.

A Modest PHILOSOPHER,

John Stuart Mill was an unassuming
philosopher. He strove to give his wife
the credit of his works, and he was nev-
er pretentlous in claiming precedence
among men. Miss Cobbe, III her Life, -
relates this anecdote of Mr. Mills mod
esty:
She was talking to him one day
about the difficulty of doing mental
work when disturbed by the music Of
street bands and instanced the ease Of Il
gentleman who was thrown into Il fren-
zy by their noise.
at does not interfere with my work, -
said Mr. Mill
Miss Cohbe remarked that Herbert
Spencer was much annoyed by such dis
turbance.
"Ah, yes. of course'' reioincd the
modest man. Writing Spencer : works
one must have quiet ~
He was so unconscious Of the freedom
from disturbance required to write his
own System Of Logic and Political
Economy" that he would allow, while
writing, his eat to lie on his table or on
his neck. His gentleness and his absorp
ton i'll his theme protected him.
