THE TRADING STAMPS SCHEME
What Hartford Contemporary Says on the Subject.

What a Hartford Contemporary Says
 on the Subject.
 The merchants of New Haven and Norwich are up in arms over the trad ing stamp scheme. The New Haven Retail Merchants association will hold meeting tonight to see how to get rid of this trouble, and in Norwich the newspapers are publishing vigorous ar- tacks on the same method.
 A trading company" of outsiders has set up headquarters at each of these towns. Certain merchants are per- suaded to render a discount to cus- toners of five per cent. for cash, giving the customers not the cash thus saved, but trading coupons for that amount, which are accepted at the trading company's" store in payment for arti- cles there.
 Five dollars worth of trading stamps, for instance, secure an article held at five dollars at the trading store. But presumably that store Is not run for love. The managers are not in it for their health. They have to get their profit and pay their rent, buy their gift goods, pay for light, heat Ynd clerk hire, etc. It is an interesting question how much of that five dollars of dis count is really secured by the customer who thinks he has got it.
 The reasonable demand is set up that the merchant should offer per cent. l discount for cash, direct to his custom CTS and not roundabout to maintain a sub-company's shop.
 A New Haven lawyer claims that the whole arrangement is illegal. He cites | this law:
 | Every person who shall sell any per- l sonal property and shall offer to the purchaser an interest in other property to be ascertained by lot or hazard, or any articles of value or any interest therein, as a present or gratuity the quality, kind or value of which shall be unknown to the purchaser at the time of sale, shall be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned for not more than three months, or both.
 He holds that the stamps are of value not known to the purchaser. Other lawyers question this, but itis intimat- ed that some of the merchants who signed contracts with the trading com pany say they regret 1t and were fright ened into signing through fear some IT, val might do it; and that these mer- chants will decline to stay in the scheme on the ground that it is illegal. Then the company can sue them to enforce the contract and the courts can pass on its legality. Hartford Courant

OBLTUaRY NOTES.
The Late Miss Eleanor Beecher of Vest


 The Late Miss Eleanor Beecher of Vest
 vile.
 The funeral services of Miss Eleanor G. Beecher, daughter of MT. and Mrs. l.. Wheeler Beecher of Westville, will take place to-day at 2 p. m. at the res idence of the family, 216 Main street. The burial will be at the convenience of the family. The deceased lady had been in declining health for about year, the principal difficulty at first being throat trouble, which baflled the best medical skill. Though of a re- tiring disposition and devoting the greater part of the time to her home her excellent traits of character won her many nrm friends. Her disposition was charitable, and her fathers wealth made 1t possible for her to do a great deal of good though in so unobtrusive a way that few among her acquaint- ances knew of her acts of charity other than by report.
 Three years ago Miss Beecher and her mother went with a party in a private car for an extensive trip through Mexi- co, California, and Alaska. She had all so travelled much in the south. Last winter she spent number of weeks at Lakewood in the hope of obtaining the permanent improvement of her health. She was an accomplished lady, parti- cularly as French and German schol- ar, pursuing those studies after gradu- alton from one of the best private schools in this city. She was mem- Der of the First Congregational church of Westville. Her age was about thir- | ty-four.

 UieaU for last week begins its oonsidera-
 tion of financial affairs with the follow ing psrtinens politico-fnsrcisl remarks respecting the local situation. It mere ly demonstrates the standing of the New York Democracy in the eyes of business men, and might apply else where. It seys:
 ''This week, Wall Street has been oc- cupied mainly with the results of the elections. So far as respects the local election. the outcome es to choice of candidates hss been in the preponder- sting opinion of the financial world, not the best that could have been desired. It affords the minimum of guarantee ss 50 sn economical management of the large interests of the new metropolis; and that is of course misfortune a6 much Be for what 1t indirectly implies as for what it directly involves But that is perhaps the worst that could be said l. is not to be forgotten that the charter of the Greater City was framed by a commission composed of Gan. Tracy, Seth Low and othsrs, and shst by it the Mayor is pretty thoroughly hemmed in. Be cannos under the oir- oumstsnces, do much harm, even if he desired to do so."

WAsHINGT1N Republicans are much
 interested in the selection of Rspubli-
 can successor to Senator German by
 the Maryland Legislature. Location
 makes that interest perfectly natural. but in addition to that is the fact that
 four of he gentlemen who are being
 talked of ae probable candidates are ss
 well known to Washington people ss
 any citizen of Washington. They are: Judge McComss, who wesiput upon the bench of the Supreme court of the Dis trict Of Columbia, by President Hsrri- son, after having made an unusual record in Congress for the length of slime hs served; Postmaster General Gary, vhoee. business-hke ecminietrs- bion of his gIeGt department has made him hosts of new friendsl and sdmiFeFs; Governor Lowndes, who has always been popular in Washington, and Rsp~ Fesentative Mudd, whose qualities es an all-eround, nervy political fighter have made himsliked by the rank and file of the party. Others have been named in connection with the Senstorehip, but it is this quartette Tn which Washington ars most interested. With such men to choose from, shere is 10 liklihood that the Maryland Legislature wilI mRIa p mistake
