STILL SIILJNG,

It has been reported that those who western part of this country stopped drinking and that then the ship stop that the airship hit star or something and exploded But it now appears that ship is still in the ring, or in the sky, Rabbi A. Levy, of Beaumont, Texas, says so, and those who know him say his word is good The vessel alighted, the rabbi says, on farm near his home, one night about fifteen days ago. Hearing the news, MT Levy went to the place and learned that the aerial navi- gators had descended to renew their stock of water. Tt was as dark as pitch" continued the rabbi, and I could see very little except the outlines of the ship It was about 150 feet long, the body being shaped something like the shuttles used in an ordinary sewing machine On either side were immense wings, about 100 feet long. It seemed to be made of some light material, what, could not say. spoke to one of the men when he went into the farm CTS house; and shook hands with him. It is run by electricity, but how it is applied I do not know. I did hear him say where 1t was built, but I can't re- member the name of the place or the name of the inventor. He said that they had been travelling a great deal, and were testing the machine. I was so dumbfounded thatI could not frame an intelligent question to ask so you see can give you but very meager de- tails. One thing I do know, and that Is that an airship IS an accomplished fact, for I have seen it, and many of my friends have seen it flying in the air"
 It Is cheering to know that the navi- gators of the airship use water. This fact and the testimony of Rabbi Levy give the vessel more responsibility than it has hitherto had.

NOT ONE.

For a long time there has been doubt about the oneness of husband and wife, and now the Wisconsin Supreme court makes bold to say that husband and wife are not one This legal fiction" has been broken down by modern stat utes. the court argues, and hence in an or person the woman Is placed upon the same plane as the husband. Enlarging upon this point, the court said that at common law the husband had right of action for damages against third persons for alternating the affections of the wife. Whether the wife also has this right at common law is disputed question, some jurisdictions holding that she has, and others that she has not, The question had never been passed upon in Wisconsin, but it was not regarded as very material by the court. The letter and the spirit of the laws tend strongly to place the wife upon an equality with the husband as respects her property and personal rights, and therefore if she has the statutory authority to enforce her rights she need not be concerned about her rights at common law. Equality of right" the court argues, fought to give equality of remedy. Unless there is some plain provision of law to the contrary, a married woman should re- ceive the same protection of all her rights as woman which her husband does as a man, and for an injury sus- tained to her reputation, person, prop erty, character, or any natural right, she should have the same right to ap- peal, in her own name alone to the courts of law or equity, for redress and protection that her husband has to ap- peal in his name alone" One dissent ing judge held the opinion that the wife cannot either at common law or under the statute maintain an action for inf delity with her husband

King or the government. He declares that the active efforts of this society have been exerted chiefly upon Maoedo- mia and only incidentally upon Crete. The insurrection In Crete, which was planned for the month of March was precipitated by the violence of the Gre tan Mohammedans and broke out six weeks earlier than was intended. The Cretan movement, which was meant he asserts, to be subsidiary to the Mace- donian, was designed for an earlier date owing to the greater rigor of the Macedonian climate, which Is unfavor- able to active operations, before the month of May, Events, however, trav- elled faster than was expected. Even if the Cretan question had been arrang- ed, he believes that an attempt would have been made to carry out the in- tended rising in Macedonia.

breweries and who is also very largely interested In Maine, conceived the idea that it would be a good plan to have enough barley for his use produced on the fertile plains of Aroostook instead of sending to Canada for most of what he uses, as he has to do now. The sec ietary of the State board of agricul- ture and the State land agent thought the idea most admirable one. An ar engagement was made whereby MT Jones, at his own expense, sent several carloads of barley into the Aroostook region, and Land Agent Oak undertook to supervise its distribution among the farmers. Mir Jones thought he was trying to do good thing for the Maine farmers, but instead of meeting With gratitude and commendation, the States agent has had to face what is described as "a storm of opposition The Aroostook grangers are up in arms against barley and barley-raising. The members of the Houlton Grange have formally condemned barley-raising for beer-making purposes, and as no far mer can be absolutely certain that, if he raises barley and sells 1t, it will not be used for the manufacture of malt, it is obvious that they have practically pledged themselves not to raise any barley, except for their own use. It is asserted that the grangers in every town in the county have joined the county temperance league in crusade against what was intended to be ben efcent project The clergymen have also joined in the hue and cry against the grain which is indispensable to the beer-makers.
 If there is any sense in this perform ance it Is of an uncommon kind. Still, 1t is somewhat refreshing to see that anybody in these sordid times is willing to take any action for the sake of his conscience that will hurt his pocket book

What Are the Business Methods in the
 State Board of Education?

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 While the legislature is in such sore tribulation as to how to make both ends meet, and is devising new forms of taxation where it will pinch the least, would it not be well to ascertain what becomes of the large sums drawn from the State treasury by MT. Hine, the secretary of the State Board of Education? There is, according to a statement made from authority, lack of funds in that department to pay for the hire of clerks and accountants, as they explain when bills are rendered in a lump, i. e., several hundred items condensed in one line, for books, for H- bra ries of school districts, and also for town libraries, We have no money to use for clerk hire, so that We cannot furnish bills in detail" Large sums, as we have said, are expended by this gen. tleman. Light is much needed on this matter? Will our legislators furnish it? \. z.

Do the People Want an Attorney General

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 If the bill authorizing Governor Cooke to appoint an attorney to collect the unpaid claim of the State of Connecti- cut against the United States govern ment, amounting to $150,00O, on the ba- sis of fifteen per cent, becomes a law, the more thoughtful people of the State will say that 1t is about time that the State of Connecticut has an attorney general. It appears by dispatches from Hartford that the passage of the bill Is a foregone conclusion, and that the governor stands with pen in hand ready to sign it as soon as it passes. The in ference is that the governor has been duly consulted; that he believes that every good turn deserves another, and the declination of the man "who hates a quitter' to be candidate against Governor Cooke last fall is not an ex- ception, and should not go unrewarded.
 Such daring robbery as this bill con templates under license of law was neV- CT before known In this State, If this claim against the United States gov ernment is available it is the duty of our senators and representatives in Congress to see that 1t is paid, They are Connecticut's representatives and agents. They frequently procure pen sions for the soldier and widow and ap- propriations for the State, and no one doubts their willingness to act for the State in this matter, and without direc- tion and authorization by special law, or compensation.
 This undertaking is akin to some oth CTS that have been before our legisla- ture this session. Indeed, the satire of the poet on the depravity of the times is literal truth:
 TO steal a little is a dangerous part, But stealing largely is a noble art; 'TiS mean to rob a hen-roost of it's hen, But stealing millions makes us gentle
 menn
 When a governor of State will lend himself to a scheme like this, and the chief magistrate of a city, aided and abetted by corporation counsel, with out law or right, seeks to take from the taxpayers thousands of dollars for and with the assistance of the press, is it strange that men are without money and that we are living among Anarch- ists and Socialists? Where are the Law and Order League, the Good Gov ernment Club and the Watch Dog of the Treasury?' l. I V.

 Now that the season for shirt waists is nearing, the question as to how our skirts are to be held up stalks forth like spectre, and as we are assured
 that narrow leather belts are to be sty- l fish, 1t is more difficult to answer than
 usual. Two things are sure-the skirt
 must be held up, and no matter what
 means are employed there must be no trace of it visible. Many skirts are be-
 ing made for wear with belts with leather waistband. Three buttonholes
 are slit at the back in such belts, which fasten at the side. The belts to be
 worn over these skirts are furnished on the wrong side with three5littfe rings. These rings slip through the button- holes, and then through the rings is thrust a bar that is also part of the equipment of the inside of the skirt. In
 other cases this method is reversed. The skirt band is set at the back with three handsome buttons; these slip through openings in the belt that is worn over, and the belt is trimmed at sides and front with corresponding but tons. The trouble here is that the belt can be worn only with skirts that have the right buttons.
 Patent and enameled feathers appear
 in belts, and their narrowness is appar- ently increased by edging them with a beading of black. Striped belts are also shown, but these are not popular. Even
 when wide shirred bodice belt is worn
 narrow jeweled belt frequently shows
 at the waist line, its color carefully harmonized with the sillSen belt Belts

FASHION NOTES.
Blue Serge Heaniified.

Blue serge is a material that is al ways found in the shops, and that is little affected by changes of fashions, but for these reasons it takes consider able care to save it from workday or common look. To stave off this fault without too great elaboration or ex- pense requires considerable ingenuity, and as that is just what was done in case of this pictured gown, it becomes a highly interesting model Its skirt was plain, and its blouse was white crepe de chine. Over this was a bolero of the serge banded with black mohair

i A short time ago it was reported that certain long headed English merchants were fortifying themselves by insuring the life of the queen, so that no acci- dent to her before the jubilee time could result to them In the great loss which would certainly fall to them if some calamity were to cause a cessa- tion in the sales of their large stock of holiday wares. In reply to these en- terprising men of business a legal cor
 respondent to London paper has call ed the attention of the public to the fact that an act was passed in 1774, which is still operative, which enacts that no insurance shall be made by any person on the life of any person or on any event wherein the former has no interest. This act was passed to put an end to the "mischievous kind of gaming in which the fourth duke of Queensberry Cold CD delighted. In fact, it was a common custom in his day not only to make wagers on the dives of public persons, but even to make the insurance companies parties Thereto by taking out policies which were merely bets at long odds.

Murder is not so dangerous to the murderer as some may think. It ap- pears that in Wisconsin 8 per cent. of the life prisoners are pardoned. Forty per cent. of the Ohio life prisoners are released by executive clemency, while in Massachusetts the percentage is 50 and in New York 63. In Massachusetts the average time served by prisoners who are pardoned is 6A years and in words, any prisoner in New York who Is sentenced to the penitentiary for life has three chances out of five that he will be free man inside of 61a years.
