CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.
Letter to Candidates for the Genera
Assembly.

Letter to Candidates for the Genera
Assembly.
The Constitutional Reform associa
ton has prepared = circular letter
which Is to be sent to every candidate
for the house of representatives or sen
ate at the coming state election, asking
them to answer certain questions rel
ative to the matter of representation.
The questions which they put to each
candidate are as follows:
Are you in favor Of election of state
officers by a plurality vote?
2-Are you in favor OF a change in
the composition of the house of repre-
sentatives so that the people per capita
may be represented in that body rather
than towns as municipalities, provided
that each town has individual repre-
sentatlon?
3-What changes, If any, would you
deem It wise to make IN the COMPOST
ton of the senate?
Are you In favor of restricting the
general assembly to strict legislative
functions?
5-Would you suggest an enlargement
Of the powers of the governor and if so
what changes?
The association in its letter states
that the present constitution was
adopted in 1918 and that the association
believes in a thorough revision rather
than piecemeal amendments

Fitting Exercises i'm the Middlesex
Theater-speoiol Exercises Inst EVEN
Ing ut Which Ex-Governor Co Tin Pre-
sided,
Middletown, Oct. 10-The two hun
dred and fftieth anniversary of the set
tlement Of the town of Middletown was
begun this afternoon, when literary ex-
ercises intended to commemorate the
occasion were held In the Middlesex
theater, although the dawn of the day
was announced by the booming of can
non and the ringing of church bells.
The town was originally eleven miles
long and six broad, and comprised what
are now the towns of Chatham, set off
in 1867; Durham, set off in 1908; Port
land, set off in 1872 and Cromwell,
which became an independent town In
1851, although for many years previous
it had enjoyed purely local govern
ment. The area of Middletown was re-
duced by more than one-half by these
changes. Its early history was very
similar to that of other towns in the
colonies, and was the subject of a pa
| per by Frank Farnsworth Starr, read
at the Middlesex theater this afternoon.
Mr.. Starr included the settlers in this
town between the years 1850 and 1860 in
his treatise, but hopes later to be able
to write a history of the town.
An historical address was delivered
by Professor John Fiske, LII. D., Of
70 1ori1 cra oh e 40 do
velopment of the colonies In New Eng
land and with some special reference
to the Connecticut settlements.
An original poem entitled Building
Unto God" was recited by the author,
Judge Daniel ]. Donahue Of this city,
hymn written specially for the oc-
casion by Richard Burton of Minneap-
oils was sung by the audience. The
benediction was pronounced by the
Rev Father Sheridan of st. Johns
church.
This evening there were other exer-
cises at the Middlesex theater, when
addresses were delivered by President
Raymond of Wesleyan university, Pro-
fessor William North Rice of Wesleyan,
the Rev. Samuel Hart, D. D., of Berk-
eley Divinity school, and the Rev. # w.
Green, pastor of the South church.
There were brief addresses by repre-
sentatives of the daughter" towns and
the benediction was pronounced by the
Rev. E. Campion Acheson. Ex-Gover-
nor Coffin presided as chairman at both
meetings.
This evening the American band of
Providence gave a concert on the street
and tomorrow the parade will occur at
II o'clock The line will be made up of
seven divisions and will cover, Id is es-
timated, three miles.
This morning the decorations. which
are now general on public and private
buildings along the line Of march, look
ed wet and soggy. The streets were
covered with mud and the outlook was
decidedly gloomy from the point of view
of those who thought chiefly of the pa
rade.
With a few hours Of good weather The
city would take on a much brighter APP
pearance and the mud will soon disap-
pear at the hands of the street depart
ment.

Gen. Sherman's Little Cellar"

Gen. Sherman, while he was COM
handing general of the army, visited
West Point one June for the gradua-
ton exercises. He accompanied the
commandant on his Sunday morning
tour of inspection of barracks and, on
entering certain room, he walked
over to the mantelpiece. STOPPING
down, he pried up a brick from the
middle Of the hearth with his sword
scabbard, and revealed a hollow space
about a foot square, in which was
nicely packed a considerable quantity
of tobacco and other contraband arti-
cles. Meanwhile, the cadets occupying
the room stood mutely watching and
wondering what sort of man the gen.
eral was to have been able to discover
the only cellar of its kind in bar
racks. Turning to the commandant
the general remarked: 81 have been
wondering if that hole was still there

only officer who really risked his life,
and believe the information furnished
by him caused the major general to
send out the party that made the ar
rest The report further says:
Shortly after the armistice between
Generals Sherman and Johnston 1 was
ordered to send one regiment to At
lanta to apprehend Davis. 1 obtained
permission from the major general
commanding the corps to send an Off
Ger and twenty men, disguised in rebel
clothing, to meet Davis, watch and If
possible capture him.. This delicate
operation was intrusted to Lieutenant
Joseph A. o. Yeoman, a dashing young
officer of the First Ohio cavalry, of
great intelligence and GOODNESS, and
who was at that time acting as in
spector general of my brigade" w.
B. Washburn, in his report, said:
From the foregoing report it is certain
that the first perfectly reliable infor-
nation in regard to the movements of
Davis was that sent in by Lieutenant
Woman" Captain Yeoman received
one-third of the $4,000 awarded the
three officers out of the 100000 appro-
priated for the capture Of the rebel
chieftain, and was otherwise compli-
mented by congress for his heroism
in the matter.

Negro Lacked Patriotism.

A well-known Georgia judge tells
this war story:
When war was declared against
Spain, the darkies became greatly agi-
tated because there was talk of put
ting them to the front to fight the
Spaniards. They offered all sorts of
amusing excuses for not enlisting.
"One old negro said to man who
was urging him to take up arms
against Spain: What for, Mars George,
said the old man. I amt got nuthin'
aginst them Spaniels. They never done
nuthin' to me. 1 amt got a thing
aginst them Spaniels; what's the use
of us fghtin'?'
Patriotism replied the man. You
should fight for love of country
'Heh!' sold the darkey; 1uv er
country? 1 dun live in town so long
l amt got no use for de country"

The Regimental Bully.

A sergeant of a well-known Highland
regiment was notorious for his cruel,
overbearing, bullying manner towards
those of his company below him.
Many a poor fellow has come to grief
at his hands. Good conduct badges,
lance and full corporals' stripes he has
been the cause of getting cut off their
arms. He would nag, find fault, and
bully them to desperation, until they
would turn On him, and sometimes
strike him; then they were marched
off prisoners. But a day of reckoning
was near at hand. About half dozen
soldiers encountered two chimney
sweeps in a public bar in Edinburgh.
The soldiers promised them a hand
some reward if they would give their
tormentor a thrashing. This they ac-
cordingly agreed to. Those knights of
the broom met the sergeant in the same
bar two evenings after the above incl
dent. They slapped him in the face
with their caps until he was blinded
with dust. From his Immaculate spots
to the top of his head he was covered
over with SCOT. With two black eyes
and bleeding lips he resembled a Zulu
more than Highland soldier. With
hasty strides he made for the barracks,
only to be made a prisoner for being
drunk and fighting, tried by district
court-martial, reduced to corporal, and,
to the bargain, had to pay for his
clothing. In each room that night
there was a jollifcation. "He de-
served it!' was all the cry, Served
him right

Whether it is more adva ntageous to
look we'll in a ballroom or on the
street" is a question often discussed
in the. boudoir. To the assertion that
it is nicer" to look your best on the
yes, but you never receive proposals
on the street. If man meets you on
the street, finds you looking we'll and
thinks he loves you, he decides to wait
until evening to tell you about his af-
fections. Then when you do see him
in the evening, probably at a ball or
dinner, you are not looking exception
ally well, and he forgets that he ever
intended to propose. If a man could
offer you his heart right then and there
on the street, it would be all right, but
he can't. At least, he never does"
1t is fact that there are two class
es of girls-those who appear well in
day time and those who look their
best at night. lis that radiant crea-
ture the dowdy-looking fright 1 met
on the street this mornin?" you ex-
sweeps into the room, displaying SUI
perb shoulders and flashing eyes. On
the street she slouched, and her dress
was ill-ftting and her complexion was
faulty. At night she seems lighted
up by inward fire, and is positively
brilliant, says the Detroit News Trib-
une.
On the other hand, you marvel that
Miss x. looks so poorly in the even
ing, when she presents such fine ap-
pearance on the street. 1t is only be-
cause. That's the conclusion always
reached by the girls. But there must
be some physiological reason to &C
count for the difference.
The girl who looks we'll in the day
time depends mainly upon her COM
plexion, and is usually the more whole
some girl. The evening girl has regu-
lar features, piquant expression and
is generally more interesting. Now
that athletics have become such a vi
tai part of society life, the wholesome
girl stands a much better show than
she did formerly. Golf hazards, club
verandas and ocean beaches have been
found to be quite as prolific of pro-
posals as bathrooms and moonlit
gardens.
