circumstances. The picking out of a
man because Of personal dislike, or ILL
will is despotism. Liberty consists in
adjustments that are equal.
In a community where all men are
not equal under the law, there is no
liberty. There must be a right of adj
justment of individuals to one another,
of classes to one another, and of the
government to all. But this adjust
ment is infinitely difficult to make, and
must be made anew from age to age.
No man ought to be impatient to see
it speedily effected. 1t must come from
day to day. 1t takes infinite patience
to learn a trade, or to read book; it
takes an infinite deal of patience to
solve 81 simple problem, and this is not
simple problem. 1t exercises the
minds of all men, because it includes
the welfare of all men.

The man for us to follow is the man

Is not this the lesson of the life of
Armstrong? Did he expect every heart
to beat in unison with his? Did he not
meet contradiction, opposition, dis

CUSTOMS AND sUPERsTITIONs.

The days of recruiting, says the
S. NJ Herald of February 25th, are
pretty well done. All the public senti-
ment is opposed to its continuance, no
matter what the supervision may be.
From the first it has been regarded in
the light of ''blackbirding," though in
many instances the recruiting vessels
have proved to be as efficiently worked
as any European emigrant ship-bet-
ter, indeed, than some. 1t was with
this knowledge that yesterday a Her
aid reporter saw Captain Strassberg,
of the handsome brigantine Meg Mer-
rifles, on her arrival from Tonga. Not
that "the Meg" as she is Familiarity
called, has engaged in the labor traf-
fic, but Captain Strassberg in his day
has seen good deal of it. OF cruise
he made to the SolomOns, via the New

dom? And yet service is efficiency, and
efficiency is freedom.
Does not nature say to a man:
Learn my laws and you shall be free
free from physical pain, free from
damage, free to use as you will the
forces of my power" 1t is knowledge
of the laws of health that keeps Il man
from disease.
Power comes with real possession.

stands upon, but that which he uses.

books; but, if / do not use them, |
might as well have walls of plaster.
1t would be cheaper; and, if l knew
about plaster and did not know about
books. it would be more fitting.
The strength OF society consists in
the perfect and easy adjustment OF
each man to his fellows. The search
after freedom is a search after the
best adjustment. 1 DO not say adjust
ment simply, for some adjustments
i'll adjustments-cau friction, and
men begin to find they are not free.
There is now a constant friction be-
tween Labor and Capital for example,
so that it is said that Capital runs
free and without friction, but Labor
does not" This friction becomes so
great now and again that We fear con-
hagration, if the sparks should fall
anywhere into combustible matter.
We can hardly say that the labOrer
is in slavery, because there is a speci-
fic legal meaning attached TO that
word. Yet it is true that the laborer
has not full liberty; we have not yet
rightly adjusted him TO the other parts
of our social machinery, so that his as
sociations with Capital may always be
harmonious.
No government can get along with
out constitution of liberty, written
or implied; and notice that a constitu-
ton OF liberty is expressed in negative
and not positive terms. We might
think that Belgium's constitution diff
fered from this, because Belgium does
say: There shall be liberty of the
press. Very well, what is meant by
that? Is she going to admit absolute
freedom of the press? No, society can
not permit that. You have got to have
the liberty of the press defined
Our Bill of Rights is our Constitu-
ton, and in the first clause of the 14th
it says, that no man shall

There was native funeral at South
west Bay OF a very old man, who was
imbecile, and had become something
Of nuisance. The natives decided TO
bury him alive. and dug a hole. into
which the old fellow was dropped and
smothered in earth. but he fought hard
for his life, and struggled so terribly
that finally he got out, whereupon he
was grabbed by the mourning natives,
who bound him hand and foot, and,
after having dug the last resting place
deeper. again dropped the old fellow in.
This time they filed up the tomb. and
ordered some women to sit on it until
they were sure the old mans life was
extinct. A great ceremony was next

LIBERTY OF Man
Hampton School Address.
ed by Woodrow Wilson.
General Armstrong EulogiSed i'm an
Able Address on Liberty on
Founders Day.

The Southern Workman recently
published an address delivered to the
Hampton School on Founders Day, by
Prof Woodrow Wilson. The address
eulogizes General Armstrong, to whose
patriotic unselfishness the school owes
it's existence. Portions OF the address
are as follows: l cannot help feeling,
as Virginian, that Virginia is honored
in having Hampton planted on her soil.
/ cannot help feeling that Virginia is
honored in having the name of Arm
strong enrolled upon her roster of
brave and honorable men, for Virginia
has given birth to many heroic souls,
and while she did not produce Arm
strong, he, too, has consecrated her
soil He was one of whom L had heard
great and notable things, as of the man
whose name is known wherever devo-
ton and heroic performance of duty
are held in grateful memory, but not
as one whom had been privileged to
know personally.
General Armstrong was a man who
directly know: he spoke always of
what he had seen, whether with the
eyes of his body or the eyes of his
spirit. 1t behooves any one, therefore,
who would honor him in speaking in
this place to his audience, to speak
only Of such things as he has seen or
experienced for himself. Therefore, l
am going to speak, not of man but
of a theme; a theme commonplace
enough in way, but theme that is
difficult and complex; a theme that it
behooves every man to think about
again and again. 1 am going TO speak
to you of liberty.
Does the man in the ranks think the
order of his general a sign of his lib
erty? And yet he knows how to obey |
orders? That makes him part of the |
army. Do you yourselves think of a |

licity committee would be able to return about $500, and that if $10O more could be collected there will be Sl,O00 to spend in railway tickets This is provided the amusement committee can do with $10O.
 It has been estimated that Sl,O00 will run four and possibly five trains from Ansonia and Derby, and Meriden and Clinton, on the Shore Line. Each train will hold 800 passengers, and at this basis with the money in hand the com mittee can bring in at least 5000 la dies, With them, 1t is expected, will come a large number of gentlemen, who are able and willing to pay their own fares.
 As to the free entertainments 5000 free tickets have been printed, They entitle the holders to the privileges of the comfort booths, to be established in MT. McIntyre's old store on Chapel street; also to the Hyperion entertain ment from noon to o'clock in the af- ternoon. There will be a concert on the green as has been stated. The band will take part in the Hyperion enter tainment.
 The committee will, hold it's final meeting Monday at o'clock in Secre- tary Johnson's store.

 Haven, Conn:
 Dear Sirs-The publicity committee of Merchants Carnival has many favors to thank you for already, and begs you to believe that in it's capacity of representative of the merchants gen eral committee 1t thoroughly appreci- ates your cooperative courtesy.
 It feels, however, that it would not be doing its duty, as a public mouth- piece of the merchants of New Haven, if it did not strongly urge upon you to use all the space you can possibly spare In endeavoring to interest the resident population of the city in Mer- chants Carnival. The affair Is already so extensively ventilated throughout the state, that it begins to assume the character of distinct civic function and as such, New Haven collectively and individually should count it a point of honor to turn out and receive the guests of the day,
 Apart from the mere question of ur- ban patriotism the merchants particu- larly desire New Haveners to thor oughly realize that they, with the vls- itors, are equal participators in all the pleasures and privileges of the occa- sion.
 
 | A short daily article on this subject from now to Carnival day, rounded out by one of your able editorial writ CTS would do much to help Merchants Carnival cause along. Yours respectfully,
 c. D. CASS, Chairman of Publicity Committee, Merchants Carnival.

from the sub-treasury, and by reports that still another shipment might be made by Saturdays English steamer. For, although the rather unexpected shipments of this week have been re- garded with commendable calmness, the movement is a potential factor Of disquiet, and of course is used as such upon the market.
 Trading was very dull on the decline. A decided break in New Jersey Central shares and an equally sharp recovery in Sugar stock were almost the only in cidents worth noticing. The relative firmness of the granger railway shares attracted some attention. The closing, however, was entirely apathetic. The sharp decline in wheat, in which was forfeited most of the advance distinctly made on recent war news" had little reflex influence on securities. Europe was idle, both in this market and in it's own; possibly waiting to discover what the next move is to be in the Greek im- broglio.
 The bears sought successfully to stem the advance by actions on lndlV1dual stocks. Those selected for attack and the declines effected in them were Chi cago Gas, 11a; Western Union, 11s; New Jersey Central, B, and Omaha, IS. The net declines were only fractional except in New Jersey Central Sugar was a strong force in the market, leading the early advance and showing a gain in the day of 1B.
 The bond market was firm. The gen. eral market lacked feature, but was generally higher. The sales were $780, 900.
 Governments were neglected, but were strictly at Mondays closing. The sales were $1,300, 900.

CARNIVAL COMMITTEE ACTIVE.

Pushing Preparations for the Great
 Merchants Day-Host of Visitors Ex-
 pected-Plans to Date.
 The general committee in charge of the merchants carnival met yesterday morning at g o'clock to hear reports and to discuss the management of the affair The committee on transporta- ton reported that they had arranged to have a special train run from Meriden, stopping at Wallingford, and one from Ansonia and Derby. These trains will be run on a guarantee by the company.
 A special train will probably run on the Shorelne from Clinton, and if the money holds out second train will be run from each of the other places. For these trains the ladies will have free tickets, to be presented at the stations by special agents, who will be furnish ed by the association.
 The publicity committee reported that 1t had completed it's work, both by post CTS and newspaper advertising, and had also posted forty different stations on lines leading into the city. All the money remaining with the different committees was turned over to MT. Cass, after deducting s100 for enter tainments The money will be used to run additional extra trains.
 Col. Post objected to the announce ment that tickets would be given Ito ladies only" MT. Southard replied by saying: If you gentlemen had ever run a free excursion train your souls would revolt at the idea of giving tick cts to men. Our trains would be crowd ed with tramps. When they drew up al the stations, bowling mobs of tramps would be waiting with free tickets They would climb on the tops of the cars, on the tender, on the cowcatcher, and the ladies would have no room al all"
 MT. Cass explained that some tickets would be given to men, but not gen. orally.
 Mir Joseph Johnson reported $1 300 in hand. and that there was more to be collected. It is estimated that at least s100 more can be raised without any trouble. Mir. Jackson said that the pub

APPOINT ABOUT THE TEETH. How Harm Comesto the Enamel near
 the Gums.

The majority of cavities in the teeth thinnest there and 1t only needs the use of harsh tooth brush and few pack ages of grit, sold under some fanciful name, to break down the enamel and leave the teeth defenceless. The sensi- tive teeth of thousands of people are made so by harmful preparations sold to clean" them
 Would you polish your silver with sand? Certainly ~-fot. Then why scratch and grind the beautiful enamel of your teeth with gritty tooth prep arations? Do you think this will make them white? Nonsense! Keep them healthy and smooth and clean with Pearlo- dento the ideal tooth paste, and you will preserve them.
 Ask your dentist about the rubbish sold to clean your teeth. The idea of cutie fish and pumice stone and cheap powders and liquid soaps combined with alcohol is giving way to the more rational and truly scientific formula of Pearlo- -dento. This is the only tooth paste which fills all the requirements of dental surgeons It has a delicious fla vor and delicate scent, and combines the properties essential to teeth and gums. Pearlo-dento cuts and removes all grease, neutralizes the acids that invite decay, counteracts accumu- lation of tartar stimulates the gums, retards the decomposition of food that lodges in crevices, sweetens the breath and renders the enamel perfectly smooth.
 Pearlo-dento also overcomes the sen- sitiveness so common nowadays. Use Pearlo- dento freely with a soft tooth brush. You will be glad you tested it. Ask your druggist for Pearlo- dento.
