The daily jour nals are thus actually changing the taste and the standards of large classes of the community. In thousand ways the newspaper and the community act and react upon each other. It is true that the newspaper only furnishes what the community wants-remember that when you assail the editor-but it is also true that the wants of the commit nity are enlarged by the newspaper pabulum it feeds on-and that is some thing for the editor to remember. If the paper is bad, that is the fault of the community that supports it; but the bad paper tends to make the community worse, and that is the fault of the men who issue it. Less shameless readiness to furnish bad things because there is market for them is certainly needed in the newspaper business; but less sanc- timonious pretense on the part of the people who cry out against the badness of the newspapers and yet keep on buy ing and reading them would also be in order A moments reflection will con- vince even the sternest moralist that till publishing newspa pers ceases to be matter of business, and becomes merely a species of religion or good works" it is difficult to hold the news paper rigidly to standard which the community does not want and will not maintain.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The House cleared the decks to-day of number of important conference reports without much difficulty. The conference report on the war revenue reductions bill prov ed generally acceptable to both sides and was adopted without division. MT. Richardson, the minority leader, acqui- esced in it as the best that could be done although he stated that the mil nority still believed the war taxes should be reduced to $70000,OO0. Final reports on the diplomatic and consular and agricultural appropriation bills were adopted. The major part of the day was devoted to the bill to promote the efficiency of the revenue cutter ser vice. Although the bill is a House measure its friends were very persist ent, and in the face Of many difficult ties hung on to it with bull dog tenacity and finally forced the bill into such parliamentary situation that it will be voted on after five minutes debate to- morrow.

Maine and Pennsylvania, $2,000; Mary land, Ohio, Wisconsin, and New Hamp- shire, $2, 500 and Tennessee, $1,S00 Henry G. Newton and James J. Carr, registrar of vital statistics, also spoke in favor of the bill.
 In regard to the bill concerning mid Wifery James J. Carr, registrar of vital statistics said that it is estimated that there are 12,000 Italians in New Haven He knew persons who were willing to take the examinations if they could do so in their own language. The births from the Italian community number 25 per cent. of the total births of New Haven. One woman, who had been practicing midwifery for number of years, prior to the passage of the pres ent law, had been obliged to give up her practice. She said she was perfect ly willing to take the examination in her own language. The woman negec- ted to get registered as she might have done under the law of 1893. Dr. Pratt of Torrington, of the committee, re- ferred to the fact that there is bill before the judiciary committee to amend the general law and midwifery, and he suggested that the bill be refer red to that committee.
 Dr. Lindsey, the secretary of the state board of health, stated that when the language spoken by the midwife is modern, such as Italian, French, Rus sian, German or Spanish, there was no objection to women practising midwif- cry through an interpreter. There was an objection when the midwife spoke strange dialect rather than a language.
 The committee decided to recommend that the two foregoing bills be referred to the judiciary committee.
 The house committee on constitution al amendments will meet next Wednes- day afternoon, and will take up mat ters for hearings including house reso- lution No. 40, concerning determination of the qualifications of electors by the municipality shall issue bonds unless the issue is approved by vote of a ma jority of the taxpayers; House resolu- tion 36 for the binennial election of se- lectmen; House resolution 40, that no member of the general assembly shall be eliigble to be elected to any office of profit by the assembly at the session during which he is a member.
 The Constitutional Reform associa- tion's bills before the committee will probably be assigned for hearings on March 27 and 2S.

Final conference reports were made anu agreed to on the diplomatic and consult ar and the agricultural appropriation bills, and another conference on the postoffice bill was ordered.

 The last hour and a half of the ses- sion was devoted to consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill.

Evening Hours.

When twilight pensive lulls the earth,
When sky and sea in sleepy mirth,
In drowsy strains and murmers low,
Do sink to rest in ev'ning's glow.
When life is hushed and zephyrs sing
Glad lullabys and heavn'ward fling,
In sweetest liquid sounds aloft,
Earth's cradle song and echoes soft.
When all is peace and slumbers still,
And nature dreams DER crag and hill,
When shadows fall and whispers float,
And waters smile their ripping note.
When gently sets nights curtain dark.
And twilight stars peep out and bark,
While angels join their happy lay,
And Gods musicians close the day.
IT'S then l know that che is near,
Think of love and mem'ries dear,
And in my dreams my hands l place,
Upon that blushing loving face.
Into my heart there creeps and steals
Like mellowed chimes and tink-
ing peals,
Like playful winds DER hill and knoll,
The music of woman's soul.

The Barbour company opened at the

DESCRIPTION-THE OLD MANSION.

OLD AANSlON.
On the bank of beautiful winding
stream where the sweet little viOlets
and forget me-nots hide beneath the
knarled roots of the dying trees,
stands an old mansion. The once
firm, stately. Uncovered walls are
now gray with moss and mold, and
are crumbling and falling in ruins.
The tiny window panes, for such they
had long ago, are now shattered and
the wind bowls mournfuily as it blows
in and out through the openings.
Some of the doors are hanging by
one hinge while others lie battered
on the floor. Around a wide, spa
cious court, once a beautiful green
lawn covered with flower beds of the
richest blossoms, is a crumbling. ivy
covered wall, no longer keeping the
romping children from the street.
Through the many chambers, which
used to ring with the laughter of the
merry children, now ''stelthy, ghost
like shadows glide" making the wan
derer shudder as he wanders through
the bare and empty halls. No longer
is there a warm. glowing fire on the
hearth. The merry voices are all
quiet now and all is cold and desolate.

EAST END FLOUR MILLS
VIII Start Again About the First Ot
January.

It is now stated that the East End
Flour Mills that closed down few
weeks since will resume operations
again about the first of the mouth and
run during the winter at least.
The Daisy and Listman were both
put in fine condition last fall but soon
after starting the latter was obliged
to close down on account of broken
shaft. 1t is now being again put in
shape for active service.
The Daisy which was obliged to
close recently on account of an over
stock of -four, has nearly emptied store
houses and it is expected that when it
again starts it will continue to grind
during the spring and summer.
The outlook for big milling bust
ness in Superior is bright, and with an
assurance that the mills will give con-
slant employment to several hundred
men means much to this end of the
city.
