Convict Made Goods.

Vint Connolly of Saltwater,
Mimi, was arrested here Friday
for offering convict-made shoes
for sale without having first
complied with the law passed by
the last legislature which provides
that convict-made goods, manu-
featured outside the state, shall
be branded or marked III a certain
way with a penalty Of ST. to $500
fine as violation.
Connolly is the salesman for the
Minnesota penitentiary shoes, and
the suit is brought to test the
law. Gen. Moses Clapp appeared
for the defendant, the case being
prosecuted by Dist. Atty. Frear.
Connolly was committed to Jail
and bound over to the Circuit
court by Police Justice Bunker
after the hearing. Habeas corpus
papers were at once prepared to
secure his release. State Inspector
Williams was present at the trial.
The case will be tried in the
Western District of Wisconsin,
at Madison, August 24.-Star &
Times.
The law under which this sales
man for the Minnesota prison
made goods was arrested has been
declared unconstitutional, and the
prisoner was released.

New Materials for the Public School.

The public school authorities
have continued their policy OF
adding to the equipment OF the
school such books and materials
as the annual appropriation would
justify. Such new books and APP
paratns for the Physical and
Botanical laboratory as could be
purchased with the very liberal
annual appropriation, have been
added each year for several years
past, until now the school can
boast Of an equipment worthy of
our city.
The course in reading through
out the grades and High school,
and the excellent equipment of
the laboratory for the study of
Physics and Botany, cannot fail
to be very gratifying to all pa
irons of the school.
The following are the new books
put into the school this year, and
partial list of the apparatus:
Frye's Biographies; Cyr's
primer and "Third Reader"
Baldwin's FIFTY Famous Stories
Retold;" Guerber's "Story of the
Romans: Young's Civil
Government" and three dozen
of Webstcr's High School Die
tionaries for the grades.
An astatic galvanometer, cleo
trio machine, telephone receiver,
pocket spectroscope, crystal
Iceland spar, prism, Leslie's Diff
ferential thermometer, air thermo-
meter. Vernier caliper, Pascal's
vases, combined acoustic and
color disc, rotating table, several
small pieces, and magnet wire,
glass tubing, mercury, beakers,
TASKS, etc.

satisfaction to the large audience
assembled-the largest, by the
way, that has gathered in Opera

piece in which Prof. Weeks
figured prominently was another
favorite, followed by an encore.
The Scotch song, "When ye Gang

sung by Mr.. and Mrs. Hurlbert,
and very generally liked.
The solos were taken by people
who have not been often before

were perhaps even more enjoyable
on that account. The duet by
Mrs. Powell and Mr.. Pratt was
highly appreciated, as indeed is
everything sung by these two

recitation on the program, "The

gracefully given by Miss Chapman.

There was another general hearing be-
fore the railroad commission last week at
which the representatives of the various
railway lines were present and argu-
ments were heard upon the proposed
schedule OF rates, rules and regulations
to be adopted by the commission, which
have now been adopted and become eff
fectlve November LIST. 1t is understood
that the commission schedule of freight
rates lowers the present tariff on vegeta-
bles and oranges, to what Is known in
railroad parlance, as baslng points, about
20 per cent, and on other than interstate
traffic, on all classes, that Is on all traffic
between stations in the State, 25 per cent
to 30 per cent. All further hearings now
coming before the commission will be
heard upon the lodging of complaints un-
der the commission rules and regulations

Must Read English.

Since 1855 Connecticut has had a con-
stitutional provision that every person
shall be able to read any article of the
constitution or any section Of the statutes
of this state before being admitted an
olector."
The foreign population of Connecticut
has increased very rapidly since this pro-
vision was adopted, and it has been diff
fcrently construed in different counties.
The intention of the trainers OF the con-
stitution of 1855 undoubtedly was that
the educat ional test should be made in
English, but there has never been any
uniformity of practice in the matter
The legislature at its last session sub
mitted to the people an amendment which
declares explicitly that no person may
vote who is not able to read any article
of the States constitution or any section
of the statutes ''ln English" The cleo
tion on this amendment was had last
week, and it was adopted by a majority
of nearly twenty to one, though the vote
was surprisingly light. The effect of the
amendment will be to dsfranchise many
thousands of citizens of Connecticut who
have heretofore voted. The adoption of
such a restriction of the suffrage by any
southern state would provoke a great
cutlery from the New England busybodies
who have not enough to do at home, and
therefore try to run the universe. AS
Connecticut has seen fit to adopt this
amendmen it is of, course, all right.-At-

Welcome Record Breaking.

The statement of business failures in
the United State during September and
during the third quarter of the current
year, as furnished by Dun's Review, give
a gratifying assurance of the improve
ment in business conditions.
For the quarter the average Of liabili-
ties in reported failures is the lowest
known in twenty three years. The total
of failures is the lowest since 1892. One
single large failure in the brokerage bus
mess brings up the average and total in
this class of business but in the classes
of manufacturing and trading the failures
were the smallest on record since these
classes were established.
There will be no dissent from the cOrdi-
al welcome with which this new record
will be received.-N. Y. World.

which was rapidly sucked up into the re-
