Some publications are in these days of the Molineux trial referring to ingenious methods of tracing crime and mention thumb impressions as one of the most wonderful. also referring to Mark Twain's nss of thum b impressions upon which to build his story of "Puddin- head Wilson" True, MT Clemans did use the thumb marks to "make" his story of "Puddin'head Wilson," but that was not the frst time MT Clemans had presented the ,dea to the public. He was merely threshing old straw, as 1t were, for in sLife on the Mississippi, :" publisned some years before "Puddin'- head Wilson," MT Olemans relates a blood -curdling anecdote of how a mur- derer was traced and identified by bloody thumb prints.

Col Gard of the Millerton Telegram has been converted and now believes that the twentieth century begins Jan. l, 1901. He sees the point that the Christian Era began with January l, the year l, and not as some would have us believe with Jan l. the year o. We never have seen the year 6 recognized. Brother Card says the age of an indi- vidual cannot be used as an illustration. @ child born Jan l, 1900, if.still alive begins the second century of it's exist encs Jan. l, 1900. Admitted. But here's where Col goes "off on his fgur- ing" again, because the child born Jan. l, 1900 was born in the last year of the eighteenth century and did not start '.fush" with the nineteenthh century. A child born 1900 years before the above mentioned child would not have been born in the Christian Era. Illustration Jan. l, 1900 minus 1900 years leaves us one year before the common Account called Anno Domini. Theologians and chronologists agree that Christ was born in the fifth year before the Con- mon Account called Anno Domini, hence there is literal difference between Anno Christi and Anno Domini. We understand that the century question refers to the Christian Era which began in Anno Domini, l. Col also says g bicycle rider does not begin his second "csntury" with the 101st mile but when the Tooth mile is clicked. Here Broth CT Card utters . paradox. We would ask him when the Tooth mile is clicked Certainly not until after it Is ridden. Illustration-When the first mile is clicked the rider has travelled c mile and is in his second mile. When the one hundredth mile is clicked the rider has travelled 100 miles or "century'' and is in the one hundred and first mile or in the second "century." The in- stant the rider starts his bicycle he ia in his first mile. The instant after he has ridden 100 miles, he IS in his 101si mile. As to the one hundred and first mile md one hundred and one miles there is difference in the terms. The one hundred and first mile is the 32( rods between the mile post marked 10( and the mile post marked 101; and one hundred and one miles is the distance between the starting point lone mile back of the mile post marked 1) and tn. mile post marked 101. Another illus tration-Whsn . man is 100 years old he is In the lo1st year of his age, but b, h neS 1o1 years old. Sect

Before the Shelton trolley disaster the trolley roads had carried 59. 084, TOP pas sengers and killed II of them. From the foregoing figures it seems that the railroads are about the safest thing to ride on in Connecticut. The family horse and wagon are dangerous in com- parison. There are now only four op- erating roads in the state, the N. r., N. Fl. & H. systems known as the "Con- solids'ed," the Central New England, the South Manchester Railroad, and the Grand Trunk Railroad which oper- ates the New London Northern.

mer team was played on the college
diamond last Friday afternoon between
Columbia and Ncwbcrry.
The Newbcrry boys knew that they
had soft snap and were confident from
tho very start Of winning the game, in
fact over confidence caused the Column
hia boys to score seven times in tho
first inning, to Ncwbcrry's ten.
The Newbcrry boys then settled
down to work and with but little effort
piled up goose eggs for Columbia in
every other inpiug Of the game.
Case, Nowbcrry's second pitcher,
did good work and proved himself Il
very &cod second to "Billy Wedding
ton.'
Had our boys not been too confident
from the very start, it would have been
an easy matter to have shut tho Coinm-
bia boys out, but Us it was, it was bad
cnough-3l to 7 in favor of Ncwbcrry.
There was Il fairly good crowd out to
witness the game, and the boys have

pccial features OF the game were T..
