THE EECOUNT.

The recount Of ballots in this city or
dered by the legislature has been COM
pleted, and the result is that Senator
Callahan is still Senator, though his
majority has been largely reduced. An
interesting though perhaps not very
surprising discovery is that in only one
ward (the Fifth) was the count made
on election day correct. In all the other
wards there We're mistakes, and in some
of them large ones. One of the strong
arguments for the use of voting ma
chimes is that they can't make mistakes
in the count. Those who have had much
to do with elections know that human
counters are very fallible, even when
they are honest.

THE SAME Old STORY.

What has become of the noble ambi-
ton and the fiery zeal with which our
legislature started to do business? Con-
necticut was cheerful State when it
was announced that the Legislature in
tended to get away from the Capitol by
the first of May at the latest. IT is not
so cheerful now, when nobody seems to
be making any efficient effort to get
away, and when it is pretty plain that
the April showers and the May flowers
will have come and gone before the leg
islature goes. 1t is the same old story.
Lots of unnecessary, or worse than I'M
necessary, bills to be considered, and no
hurry about considering them, or the
necessary ones. But discouraging as the
situation is it might be worse. We
haven't a senatorial deadlock, with
charges of bribery on the side.

uncomfortably tight, unless women in

but that is not given when current
styles are stuck too closely. High
boots and the hideous leggings of three
seasons ago are not to be worn.

round parasol is the only one that will

1t Is little early to talk about bath
suits, hut some women are doing so.
One young woman asked salesman il
the present fashions would prevail In
bath suits, and he said they would.

the bath suit? The yoke neck is all
right. but the sheath skirt would be
trying to say the least.

"Reminiscences M .

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier.
My father, Captain Everit was born
in Brooklyn, his father owning tract
of land on the Heights, and he (my
grandfather) was aide-de- camp to GEN
| eral Woodruff commanding our forces
| on Long Island at the time of the Brit
ish invasion during the Revolution. On
discovery that the British soldiers were
landing he mounted and, putting spurs
to his horse, rode with all speed to ac-
| quaint the General with what was TAX
| ing place, the Generals home being at
some little distance from the city prop
| er. As he started with his message he
was observed and followed by some of
the British soldiers, and he had scarcely
reached his destination and delivered
the tding to General woodruff when
they discovered that the house was sur
rounded, which was followed by loud
knock at the door, on opening which
the General was confronted by an Off
Ger with drawn sword. General Wood
hull, taking in the situation, handed his
sword to the officer In token of surren-
der, but that officer demanded that he
should hold up his right hand and
shout, God save the king!" TO this
the General replied by saying, May
God save us ALL" On receiving this re-
ply the officer raised the sword just
handed to him and sm9te General
Woodruff through the crown, killing
him instantly. My grandfather, wit
Messing this dastardly deed, jumped
through back window and crawled UNI
der a barn at the rear of the house, but
the soldiers, noticing his retreat, began
pricking with their swords or bayonets
through the cracks in the floor and the
points of those weapons having very
business-like appearance, and coming
uncomfortably near, soon caused the
refugee to call for quarter, which was
the fashionable term Of surrender, with
plea for mercy. He was taken pris-
oner and confined with many others in
the old Dutch church in New York. On
certain days or a certain day of the
week members of the prisoners families
were allowed to visit and bring them

occasions my grandmother paid her
husband a visit, taking with her con-

SUBSIDIES IN FIR NOE.

| For a number of years the French
sides for the purpose of stimulating the
shipping interests Of the country. The
| United States consul at Lyons has re-
Gently made a report on the merchant
marine of France and this report has
an interesting bearing on the subsidy
question. 1t is pointed out in this report
that during the last ten years, while
there has been an increase in the COM
mercial marine of Great Britain of 33
per cent, in Germany 1O7 per cent. and
in Holland 81 per cent, the French
commercial marine has declined / per
the business has been stimulated by the
payment of subventions amounting to
millions of dollars a year. The reason
for this is the higher cost of building
vessels in France, when compared with
the cost of construction in England and
at other points on the continent Of
Europe. The cost Of maintenance on a
French ship is probably considerably
less than the cost of maintenance on an
English ship; but the original invest
ment may be lower in England for it Is
said it costs French ship builder about
SO per cent more to construct his ves-
sci in France than in England and that
it also takes a great deal longer time
The head of one Of the steamship COM
panies states that it requires eighteen
to twenty-four months to construct
of four thousand tons and of /!
ordinary swiftness in France, and that |
in the same time the English or the |
Germans can build a ship of 10000 tons |
with 81 knots speed. He goes on to |
say: my company asked several ship |
builders for a price and the length Of |
time for sailing ship of three thousand |
tons burden. We intended to build two. |
Only one ship builder was disposed to |
examine our proposition
So subsidy Is not all that is neces-
sary to put life and prosperity into ship
ping interests,

HOW THE EGGs WERE CoRNERED.

HOW THE EGGS WE'RE CORNERED.
| The man who cornered the eggs has
! confessed, and though nothing can be
| done to him 1t is rather interesting to
know in detail the reasons we have for
treating him as a French mob wanted
to treat Zola He cheerfully admits
that he and his confedsrates taxed the
people 100000 in the extra prices the
consumers of eggs had to pay for them.
This is his story of his benevolence to
himself: I am kind of a farmer and
understand chickens, and 1 knew that
the cold snap of last month would pre-
vent them from laying all over the
country, and especially in the New
England and eastern States. Conse-
quently we laid plans to go South,
where eggs We're selling at almost moth
ing, and buy right and left. This we
did, but we did not stop there. We
bought all over the country. But we
had to have market in the eastern
cities where we could unload the eggs
Accordingly was instructed to go to
Pittsburg and buy up the eggs so as
to get the people excited and in readi-
ness for the next move and raise the
price. Other men acted for me in 9TH
err big eastern cities. We bought about
twenty-car loads in the East in order
to accomplish this. We paid on an
average of % cents in the East After
we had the price up as far as it would
go, then we shipped our ten-cent
southern and western eggs to the east
ern markets and unloaded them with
ease at from 80 to 40 cents. All in all,
we sold three hundred cars. We had
twenty cars bought in the East which
we sold at slight profit, but we did
not expect to make money on these
we had to buy them in order to pull the
wool over the eyes Of the people and
prepare the market for our cheap
southern eggs.
Business Is business, and the egg-cor-
ner Is good specimen Of it. But wasn't
that smart man who knew what the
hens of the country would do? Letter |
should have had his assistance. 1t
might at least have made his losses |
less

With characteristic thoroughness the
city Of Boston has lately furnished the
chief Of it's survey division with a
standard, by means Of which the meas
uring of estates in that metropolis of
somewhat complicated topography may
now be accomplished to the greatest
degree of exactness For absolute cor
rectness no finer one, it is alleged, ex-
lists anywhere, not even in the office Of
the Coast Survey at Washington,
which is the repository of the United
States standards. This improved stand
ard was constructed in Worcester and
conveyed to Boston on three fiat cars.
1t IS 102 feet long and rests ready for
use in box, thus insuring an in1nites-
final amount of friction while expansion
and contraction are going on during the
variations in temperature. The stand
ard is made of drawn steel, as are also
the measuring tapes.

The Army and Navy Journal tells a
story of warrior from a Mississippi
town. The women organized a Red
Cross Auxiliary Society, and among
their contributions to the comfort of
their absent heroes was case of
homemade pajamas. The boz contain
ing these was sent to camp but no
acknowledgement OF It's receipt was re-
turned So the good women telegraph
ed, "Anxious to know if you got the
bahamas last week" Now, the cap
tain had been sitting up with the boys
the night before, and when the dispatch
was handed him he was trying to re-
duce his swollen head with wet towel,
and his mind was somewhat confused.
So the women of the relief society were
astonished by the receipt of this dis
patch: "Story is a lie out of whole
cloth; probably made up by my enemies
to ruin me politically. Admit am not a
total abstainer, but never had the pa
jamas last week or at any other time.'

1t has taken the public long, long
time, says the Kansas City Journal, to
realize that the chief thing the Indian
needs is to learn to work, and to be fur
nished the means and the opportunity
for working. All bounties to the blan-
ket Indian, all allotments to the Indian
who doesn't know what to do with
them, are so many calamities to the
race. The Indian schools at Carlisle
and Lawrence are doing the right sort
of work. But there is even some sort Of
advantage in the method which takes
the trade to the reservation and digni-
fies it there. Thus Miss Garter has de-
veIoped the lace making faculties of the
Dakotahs, and Miss Mary Eldridge is
trying to raise a small sum to estab-
fish among the Navajos of the San
Juan river a regular factory for the
cultivation of the Navajos extraordi-
nary ability in blanket weaving. This
is practical philanthropy.
