OBITUARY.
MRS. SARAH L. PITNEy.


By the death of Mrs. Sarah l. Pitney,
wife of Vice Chancellor Pitney which
occurred on Sunday morning, the com
munity loses one of its foremost and
most respected women. Mrs. Pitney
was true friend to the poor and I'M
fortunate, and was exceedingly active in
the various charitable organizations of
our town
She was also prominent in all lines of
church work in which women usually
take part.
Mrs. Pitney who was the daughter Of
Oliver and Sarah Crane Halsted, was born
in New York in the year 1928, and resided
in that city until her marriage, which
took place in 1858.

until 1864, when the family removed to
the house on Maple avenue where they
still reside.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
afternoon, conducted by the Rev. DIR.
Macnaughtan, assisted by the Rev. DR..
Erdman. DIR. Macnaughtan read the 31st
chapter of Proverbs, and spoke Of Mrs.
Pitney as noble example of the virtues
described therein, whose wise care of
her household insured the prosperity and
comfort of her family and whose ''chil-
dren arise to call her blessed" Mrs.
Boye-J ensen during the services sang
by request, with much expression the
Twenty third Psalm, and "Harkl Hank
My Soul"
Mrs Pitney is survived by her hus-

daughters, Mrs. Sadie Pitney johnson,
Mrs. Katharine j. VanDusen, and Miss
Mary B. Pitney, and four sons, Henry

THREATENED LUNG TROUBLE.

The marching and drill of the public
school boys in the Memorial Day parade,
was highly creditable both to the boys
and their drill instructor. The effect how
ever was somewhat marred by the large
number of boys who are round shouldered
Whether this be caused by 'scorch-

be done to remedy it. A short time
during each school session devoted to
calesthenics would prove helpful and we
do not believe the ordinary studies
would suffer.

MIST PROTECT THEM.

The travelling public will be interest
ed in decision which has been render
ed by the Appellate Term of the SUI
preme court of New York concerning
the loss of money in sleeping cars. The
plaintiff, Ernest Williams, was the as
signee of Robert w. Bates, an archi-
tect and interior decorator, and the de-
PENDANT was William Seward Webb,
President of the Wagner Palace Car
company. Bates moved his business
from Chicago to Boston, and on the
Journey took with him $1,250 in bills,
which he intended to deposit in a Bos-
ton bank to open business account.
He took berth in the sleeper from De-
troit. and on the night before his ar
rival in New York pinned the money
in the fob pocket of his trousers, folded
them up and put them in the berth be-
tween the mattress and the side of the
car He got up during the night and
went to the wash room. At that time
the only Wagner employees in the car
were two porters who were asleep at
the end of the car On getting to New
York Bates found the money he had
kept out for the expenses of his journey
had run short, and had recourse to his
fob pocket. He then found that his
money had been removed and a wad of
tissue paper substituted. In Trial Term
of the City Court the plaintiff got a
Judgment for the full amount. In the
General Term the judgment was re-
versed and the complaint dismissed, on
the theory that sleeping car company
is not the insurer of the property of
those who buy berths. The Appellate
Term, Justice Leventritt writing the
opinion, holds that a sleeping car COM
pany is bound to use care in protecting
the personal belongings of those whom
it invites to occupy berths, and that
the jury had found In the case at bar
that such care was not exercised This
however. Is limited to the
money and other articles necessary for
the traveller during his journey, and
according to his station in life. A new
trial Is ordered.

1GITN IPHELD.

The vote in the house yesterday on
the bill intended to cripple the Law
and Order league indicated that the
members had heard from their constit-
uents. Only few members voted for
the bill. There has been some curious
and furious talk against the league,
and its enemies have been pretty con-
fident that they We're going to down"
it this time. But the league has strong
err and better support than its enemies
have. Its supporters wish there were
no need for such an organization, and
they feel that there wouldn't be if the
regular" organization acted fully up
to its duty. But they feel that the
league has met a need and has efficient
ly done much that wanted doing. So
when it is attacked they are ready to
defend it, and they will be until it
ceases to be helpful to law and order.
Therefore until there is large change
for the worse In the league, or a large
change for the better in the law-break-
ers of the State, or until there is a Dem
ocratic legislature, we do not see much
hope for the opponents Of the league.
And 1t may be that even a Democratic
legislature wouldn't venture to abolish

THE FEEBLE SILVER ISSUE

The Honorable and Colonel William
Jennings Bryan continues to cry silver,
silver, but perhaps there will be no sill
yer in the next Democratic platform.
There is some very significant talk
about the matter in the South. Two
great Georgia newspapers, the Atlanta
Constitution and the Savannah News,
unite in doubling the advisability of
making silver the leading issue in 1900
They both profess to believe that the
majority of Democrats in Georgia are
still convinced that free silver coinage
would be good thing for the country"
but they question whether silver as the
paramount issue would be good poll
tics for the Democratic party. Com
menting on the declaration of William
Jennings Bryan that none of us will
live to see plank taken out of the Chi
cago platform" Mr.. Howell of the At
lanta Constitution says: Mr.. Bryan is
unquestionably the idol of the Demo-
cratic voters but not a few of the lat

THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS

THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER.
Count no man happy until he is dead,
said the sage, but if Insurance Commits
sioner Belts isn't reasonably happy in
these days it is because there Is some
thing the matter with his constitution
or bylaws. He has been in a fiery fur
mace, or dirty mess, or mixture of
both, for many days. He has come out
unsinged and clean. 1t is not yet quite
clear what happened, if anything did,
and the whole story will probably never
be told But it is clear that nothing hap
pened to Mr.. Belts except the thorough
and honest performance of his duty.
No man in the State Of Connecticut
stands in better position than he
stands in. We congratulate him, his
family and his friends who have not
wavered In their belief in him. We do
not congratulate the governor of Con-

portunity and has wrongfully deposed

been a credit to his administration and

An essential point Of back combs that
is often overlooked in purchasing Is
that the comb should fit accurately. The
long narrow comb will not hold at the
back on many heads, so the teeth of the
comb must curve to fit the head or the
comb will not be secure. AS a comb
properly used should not only orna-
ment but hold the hair, this point Is
important. Most women now have
their hair cut as priests have theirs
only instead of a shaved crown they
have the long locks for the coll at the
crown. while all the rest of the hair ia
cut at half length that allows it to
be easily drawn back at front, sides and
back, The latter portions make the
loose graceful roll now fashionable The
parted pompadour Is the latest, and the
all around pompadour is giving place to
more careless and artistic arrange
ment of the loose half-length hair. All
this is easy enough il the comb is used
properly, but very difficult if it is set
in at the last moment as an ornament
merely. FLORETTE.

ter are frank to declare that he must
put the silver question in the back
ground and make the fight against
trusts and monopolles" The signifi-
canoe of this utterance is emphasized
by the testimony of the Savannah News
that "Mr. Howell comes into contact
the State, and is therefore in a position
to know the drift of their thought on
political questions" For ITSELF the
News says that the great majority of
the Democrats of Georgia "have doubts
Of the party's ability to win in the next
national contest if the silver question
is made the leading issue, as it was in
the campaign of 1885, And then it
goes on to give the reasons why it be-
lieves that the silver issue would be bad
pblitics for the Democracy in 1900. 1.-THE
conditions" it confesses, ARE not as ia
vorable for silver at this time as they
We're during the last presidential CAM
paign. Still, it is impossible to say now
what the conditions will be by the time
the next campaign begins. Bad times
may come within the next year, and
they would be helpful to the cause of
silver"
No, the conditions are not as favora-
BILE for silver as they have been. There
is a theory that even Brother Bryan
sees this fact and only continues to
shout silver to keep his followers to-
gether until a new platform can be
made for them to stand on.
