THEE DE 4 KID.

THREE or Il KIND.
"And they all with one consent began
to make excuse. The first said unto
him; I have bought piece of ground,
and must needs so and see it. l pray
thee have me excused, And another
said: I have bought five yoke OF oxen,
and ] so to prove them. / pray thee
have me excused. And another said:
have married wife and therefore
cannot come"
Thus, as we read in the Bible, was the
invitation of "a certain man" who made
a great supper and babe many treated
Dearly beloved brethren and sisters,
how like is the situation thus depicted
to that which prevails to-day in the
Second congressional district of Con-
necticut. The Democratic nomination
for congress has hidden many And
as three of the responses to the "cer-
tain mans invitation to a great sup
per were made public, even so have
the responses of three of those hidden
to the Democratic congressional nomi-
nation in this district been made pub
lie.
The Hon. James P. Pigott was the
first man to make excuse He said
he was too busy with his business, and
that he didn't want people to under
stand that connection with public life
is his chief occupation. Then the Hon.
George M. Gum was heard from. He
said: IT will not say that / would
not accept the nomination should it
come to me from a convention that had
acted apart from any influence in my
behalf exerted by my friends or others.
but such contingency is so remote
and so improbable that / do not for a
moment allow myself to consider it.
And yesterday the excuse of the Hon
Clinton B. Davis, chairman of the
Democratic State Central committee,
was made public. He said that friends
had asked him to stand as candidate,
and that some Of the friends We're from
New Haven, but his answer was no.
He said he was very grateful and APP
preciative of the kind interest taken
in him by his friends, but had made
UP his mind that he could not conscien-
tiously be candidate for any office
while holding his position in the party
organization.
So they all with one consent have be-
gun to make excuses They don't ap-
pear to want the nomination any more
than the folks in the bible wanted the
certain MANS great supper. And
perhaps, dearly beloved brethren and
sisters, they are not any more frank
about the matter than were the bible
folks. The bible folks didn't want to
hurt the certain mans" feelings, and
Brothers Pigott, Gum and Davis don't
want to hurt the feelings of those who
that the real reason for their excuses
is that they think the nomination would
be an empty honor. But we do not
think they are so selfish and so sordid
as that reason would indicate, and we
do think they could give their real rea-
son without discredit to themselves or
a lasting shock to the feelings of their
admirers and followers. 1t seem to us,
and we are glad to be able to say it,
| that Brothers Pigott, Gum and Davis
have deliberately and solemnly turned
their backs upon the glory of earth and
are looking upward If not, why have
they with one consent declined to have
anything to do with a prospect which,
as Mr.. Pigott has picturesquely said
| is Sufficiently bright"

In the British Medical Journal Paris
correspondent says that at least $500
physicians in France are battling with
starvation, and he adds that physi-
clans themselves are largely responsible
for this state Of affairs. They have
taught lady patronesses of different so
cieties to diagnose diseases, to dress
wounds, to vaccinate their own children
and those of their neighbors. Medical
science is vulgarized in every way. Doc
tors write In important daily papers ex-
planning how bronchitis and cramps of
the stomach are to be cured, and in
fashion journals they teach how to cure
pimples and avert headaches. Five
hundred thousand gratuitous consulta-
lions are given yearly in Paris dispen-
saries, and in this way a large amount
of fees is diverted from the medical pro-
fession.

A Notable Trademark Decision.

MADISON. Wis. Nov 28.-Spsclal.-Judge
Romauzo Bum, U. y. Circuit Judge for the
Western District of Wisconsin has decided
for defendants In the case of the Sterling
Remedy Co., proprietors of "Noto.bac, !"
against the Eureka Chemical & Mfg Co.,
proprietors OF "Baco euro" Suit was bro't
BY the former April Bird last. asking 100000
damages and an injunction restraining de-
fendant from using the name "Baco. Curo,"
from advertising the same and from using
boxes, racks, ETC., which, 1t was claimed were
infringements upon those used by "No'to
bac." Judge Bum decides for defendants
on the ground that no marked similarity
exists, that no Infringement has been made
and that" Baco Curo"by its injuncto Don't
Stop Tobacco" shows itself to be entirely
distinct from "No.to. bac," in that the latter
requires the patient to cease using tobacco
when commencing the remedy. By the
terms of the order the complainant's bill is
dismissed and costs are taxed in favor of
defendant The case has excited cspe,ial
interest inasmuch as it is the first of like
character ever heard in the Wisconsin Fed
eral courts and the decision, it is believed,
will govern in all similar cases, Judge Bum
being noted as Nh able jurist both in Wis
c0nsln and elsewhere.

Now Year Means Progress.

A new year, not simply another year.
Many people may be said to live the
same old year over and over again. Each
succeeding year is the same unit added
once more to the sum Of life. There is
the same task performed in the same
spirit with the same motive; the same
imperfections Of character, the same
failures Of conduct. The times may
change and progress hasten, but II We
stand still, we live only the old year
once again. A new year never comes to
the contented OK; he simply grows old.
1t is not the lapse Of time or the prog
ress of civilization, but our progress,
which makes possible to Us new year.
