New Haven Man Injured at Westfied,
 Mass.
 A man who gave his name as James w. Karney of New Haven was found in a semi-unconsaious condition at the foot of an embankment of the Consolidated railroad, off Main street, Westfiald, Mass, Saturday evening about o'clock and was taken to Noble hospital in the ambulance. He claimed that he was walking on the tracks, and that the o'clock train south struck him, throw ing him down the embankment At tie hospital a thorough examination was make of the man, and not a bruise of a scratch was found upon him. Yesterday he was resting comfortably and it is difficult for the physicians in attendance at the hospital to believe that Karney could have been struck by the train and got out of it so luckily. Karney is q brakeman and Is well known among railroad men.

NOTING PTCTER rs.

We read with unfeigned pleasure that
series Of moving pictures of Bryan's
home life is being arranged for the use
of the national committee and will be
out in the form of lectures during the
campaign. The moving picture machine
man followed Bryan all over his six
teen-acre farm. The pictures are in
colors, and they present Bryan with a
pair of jean trousers, hickory shirt and
homemade cloth suspenders, which are
conspicuously displayed. His trousers
are stuffed into pair Of the toughest
boots ever worn by Kentucky crack
err, and as he climbs onto his self bind
err machine a great rent shows. These
photographs show Bryan working, dig
gng, riding a grain plow and doing
other farm labor.
Good work. These pictures will be
moving in more senses than one, and
will doubtless bring many votes. 1t
will be evident to all beholders that a
man who wears jean trousers with a
hole in them is fit to govern a great
people.

orally regarded by many fishermen, be-
cause they know that the demand for
an extra quarter-inch or even half-inch
is not founded in reason. Besides, 1t
takes a pretty good judge to say wheth-
or a trout is six inches long or only five
and quarters, and it Is not usual
to carry measuring rule.
1t is to be regretted that the season
in this State ends so early. No other of
the half dozen States about us has such
q law, although Rhode Island approx
mates to it. Neither in New York nor
any of the New England States except
Connecticut and Rhode Island does the
season end before September /, save for
those counties in Massachusetts where
the date Is August /. In the remain
der Of ofat State it extends to Septem-
Der /. In New York and all the other
New England States 1t is September /
or later. Trout are never better than
in the two months now approaching, in
which Connecticut fishermen are for
hidden to take them. They have to
cross the line to New York or Massa-
chusetts now if they wish to follow a
fascinating recreation, and many Of
those who can will do so. Most of them
cannot, and will have to content them
selves with other fish, or with no fish

no pursuit of other fish Is to be named
in comparison.-Hart Times.

CLOSE OF THE TROUT SEASON.

| The trout season In Connecticut
| closed July LIST. 1T has been remark
| ably poor for the most part yet more
| very large fish have been caught thar
| In most years, while the number OF
monsters that have been seen or hook
| ed, but have escaped In safety, Is still
more noticeable. For some of these
lost there is good evidence, so far as
any evidence about trout Is good. On
the whole there is reason to believe that
the stocking of streams and ponds
which has gone on for years has added
very materially to the number Of large
fish in the State. But the smaller fish
have been scarce and this is held by
rome fishermen ca confirm the theory
advanced early in the season that many
persisted in the drouth of last summer,
partly from being caught In pools
which subsequently failed entirely, and
partly because in such pools even If
some water still flowed they were unus-
ually exposed to attack by all their
enemies. 1t Is believed that many per-
ished in this way. The large fish gem

any stream they have used grows too
small fyr their Judgment (matured by
years. Of safe residence for an intel
ligent fish.
1t has also been noted by fishermen
that in many streams there is an I'M
usual abundance of fish Matched last
winter. They are too small now to be
taken, but they will be of sufficient
size next year. As a rule they are not
now much above four inches long, for
the wild brook trout grows much less
rapidly than those bred in confinement
and fed all they can eat every day.
But they are enough better to make up
for all that, once they reach the size
where legal and moral restrictions per-
init taking them.
1t is worth noting in passing that
the six-inch limit sen in Connecticut is
rather awkward. A great many fish
are caught every year in swift streams
that measure from a little over five
inches to a little less than six inches.
This indicates that the greater part of
one years growth is a little below the
standard set, so that all these fish
should technically live one year long
er, Yet at this time they have at
tanned the age which was contemplated
by the trainers of the law. and If thew
had been bred in ponds or in certain
streams they would be more than six
inches long instead of little below it.
The error was in failing to recognize
the difference between trout of hill
streams and others. Yet the hill |
streams furnish most of the wild trout |
taken in Connecticut, and unless two
standards are set-which is impractical |
ole-the brook trout might we'll furnish |

where much attention is paid to keeping
Up the supply of trout the limit is five

SAD, TE TRUE.

An alarming report comes from Eu-
rope that the trailing skirt is to be
abolished. We hope this report is not
founded on fact. The trailing skirt is
a thing of beauty and it ought to be a
Joy forever. 1t is not alone a thing OF
beauty 1t is also a sanitary thing. BY
means of it the sidewalks are kept
clean. 1t furnishes powerful argu-
ment against the germ theory Of dis
ease. What woman has ever carried
home any disease on the hem of her
trailing skirt? 1t supports the theory
that women are cleaner than men. 1t
is good to step on and thus furnish a
test of temper and true religion. And
it gives an opportunity for women to
show their gracefulness by grabbing
it in the gluteal region and holding it
at the right and the tantalizing eleva-
ton. If Fashion abolishes the trailing
skirt Fashion will abolish that which Is
pleasing and picturesque. We had hop
ed that the trailing skirt would remain
and be initiated by trailing trousers OF
course mere men couldn't be as graceful
in holding up trailing trousers as wo-
men are in holding up trailing skirts,
but their efforts would make street
scenes even more interesting than they

THE HEATHEN CHINESE.

| OF course we can't see ourselves as
us, and of course we are not as they see
us. But it is interesting to notice some
of their notions. For instance, WI Ting
| Fang, the Chinese minister at Washing
! ton, says: The Chinese cannot under
stand the eagerness Of the Christians
to make proselytes. The missionaries
come and say: .'Oh, you Chinese you
are all wrong. Tear down your tenn
pies. Destroy your idols Imagine
how you Americans would feel If Chi
nese were to come to this country and
not merely try to inculcate the teach
ings Of Confucius and Buddha, but even
decry the gospel of Christ. Don't you
suppose they would be mobbed?
This is quite reasonable compared
with what is said in a book which has
been circulat ted throughout China, and
accepted as the truth. In this book it
is gravely asserted that Christians
make use of occult and devilish arts
and bewitch the ignorant by magical
arts and lamentations, so they joyfully
enter the sect. When a person enters
this religion the teacher gives him four
ounces of silver and pill. When he
has taken this pill his whole mind is
confused and darkened, so that he de-
stroys his ancestral tablets and only
worships an image of a naked child
which points one finger toward heaven
and another toward the earth"
Thus the Chinese are inf1amed against
foreigners, not only because they prefer
isolation but also because they believe
that degradation will follow intercourse
with foreigners. They also believe that
the missionaries are influenced by sell
fish motives, and that their religion Is
but cloak for designs against the in
tegrity of the empire

Forward sped the flying machine. But
it was an uphill race and the horse be-
gan to gain. The old man looked back

still the painting policeman gained, and
finally called to him:
Don't be afraid, old man. I'm not
going to kill you. just wanted to see
what sort Of thing that is you're rid
ing on"
Mendenhal stopped and the officer
pulled up. The machine proved to be a
queer-looking, four-wheeed carriage,
rather rudely built, with two horizontal
bars like pump handles, which propelled
the carriage by hand force. AS soon as
a start was got by working these levers
up and down, the wind did the rest.
