NIGHT OF CHERISHED MEMORY.
Old and Young Feel They Have Li-
 cense to Be NonsensicaI.


 Hail. Halloween, with all your cher ished memories. The youth of to-day look forward to your coming with the same happy antieipations as did the children of the years that are gone, and tonight in every home in Chris tendon young and old will unite in sports of one kind or another which might be considered nonsensical on any other occasion, but which take on touch of reality and fitness on Hal lowe'en which even the most serious can appreciate with a keen delight What man would be so unreasonable as to find fault with the blushing young woman who sits patiently perhaps We should have said impatiently--1n her parlor with an apple pairing dangling over the door to see what man VIII come along and run afou o1 it? He is the man who will lead her to the altar and 1t IS only natural that she should regard it as the most momentous epoch in her whole life, for if the apple pairing be knocked down by worthy suitor she counts upon happy future. while on the other hand, should the first conner turn out to be the kind of a fellow she had not been figuring on catching, she sees no alternative but to submit to the inevitable and take her chances with him whether it mean well or i'll to her. What wonder. then, that all the girls will be on the anxious seat tonight? This is but one of the tricks that will be tried tonight, but prob ably the one that requires the most thought on the part of small boys and old men is when a girl fills her mouth with water and holds the liquid there to see who will be the first to prompt her to speak. No one should address q remark to lady under such cir cumstances unless it be someone who desires to give her his name and his whole attention during the balance of his eXistence Besides these harm less jokes indulged in by the gentler sex, the boys will be at work and no matter how they try to behave it is safe to predict that they will do some mischief. They should be careful, though, in throwing cabbage stalks not to strike their victims in vital spots and to aim at the veranda rail- ing rather than at the plate glass in the front door,

MYSTERY OF sa5.ooo NECKLACE.
Both Bidwen and MT Black Say They
 Have It-Duty Arranged For.

Have It-Duty Arranged For.
 New York. Oct 31.-"It is absurd to sav that I smuggled it in. How diu l know that had to pay duty on per sonal goods.'' said Mrs $. H. Black III speaking of her $35.000 pearl neck lace. which she brought over on the Teutonic on September 19.
 Mrs Black is the wife of $. H. Black, nresident of the Fuller Construction company. and when the purchasing or q mere trinket costing S35,00O is ne cessary. she never consults her hus- hand. At least Mrs Black says so. The necklace in question is string oI forty-three pearls. grading in size rom the size of a cranberry to the size Of a ,pea. set in the center with a large diamond and a gold clasp. Mrs Black said:
 'I had the necklace month before my husband noticed it-I have so many jewels. When he saw it and l told him where it came from he immediate ly went to the custom house and paid the duty on it."
 Collector Bidwell said yesterday that the necklace had not been appraised and that he had it in his possession. but that MT Black had offered to pay the duty. Mir Black said, when seen at his office. No 13T Broadway:
 ''I saw my duty to the government; did my duty and paid my duty"
 'sThe necklace is in my wife's pos session and is not under seizure. No one in the custom house knew that Mrs Black had the thing until I went to the custom house and paid the duty. Mrs Black did not tell me of her pur- chase until q few days ago."

BARBERS' LICENSES. q
Applicants Taking the Examination | Before the Board To-day.

The state board of examiners of bar bers are in town to-day and are exam ming applicants for licenses at the headquarters of the Central Labor union on Grand street Up to noof. three applicants, Michael McKernan and John Dardia of Meriden and Ma than Richman of Waterbury had been examined. The time limit for taking out licenses expired on September II, but the board has kindly given delin- quents a little grace and those who fail to take advantage of their good offices will be made to face the music. Applicants are put through 9 practical test on hair cutting and shaving. and in order that there can be no doubt in the minds of the board as to the efficiency of all who appear, chair has been provided and the applicants have to try their skill on parties who volunteer to take a free shave and halr cut. They are also questioned regard, ing the kind of towels, soap and wash they use as well as to what precau- tions are resorted to in order to main tain good sanitation in their shops. The answers to these questions are taken down and the paper looked over later by the board of examiners.
 Henry C. Schneider of New Haven, secretary of the board. told Democrat reporter that about 75 per cent of the barbers of this city had received H. censes and that already they have 1s- sued over 1900 in the state. They will be in session from 10 to 3 to-day and between the same hours to-mor- row. Waterbury was fortunate Ill get ting the board to come here, for owing to the demands made upon them they find it impossible to visit all the towns and in consequence many have to reach them from distance, as will be seen by the presence of some of Meri- den's tonsorial artists at to-day's ses- sion. While the reporter was talking with Nr-Schneider, a man was brought into the room who had what appeared to be q bad dose of barber's itch, con- tracted in one of the local shops. Ills chin and other parts of his face were broken out and the sores looked as II it would require careful medical at fention and some time. too, before the man will be we'll This is q serious. matter and if the board of examiners and the local union succeed in cleaning out any such shops that exist Ill town the public as well as those who are suffering from the disease Will Ieel deeply grateful to them.

They ARE UNEASY,

The announcement made by SEN
ator Shoup that he proposes to
stand for reelection is not received
by our Democratic friends with &C
CARNATIONS of JOY, Indeed, they are
stirred by very different emotions
and manifest feeling of painful un'
easiness. They, possibly, appre-
bend that the day of vengence is at
hand; that the treachery which rel
egated Claggett to private life has
returned to torment and undo them.
They also realize that Senator
Shoup is a strong man and a de-
termined fighter: that he goes into
the contest with united support
greater than any other candidate
can invoke. These facts may we'll
cause apprehension. But there is
something more--something real
and practical, Representatives OF
the people cannot overlook the fact
that Democrat or Populist Sena'
tor would be helpless to do any
thing for Idaho, While, ordinary
members might not be influence by
such consideration, under existing
conditions it may have weight. Il
is alleged on what seems to be goot
authority that there are six Demo
cratic members who will under M
consideration vote for Mr., Dubois
and that at least four Populists arr
set to the same purpose. If thi
shall prove true, the outlook is NOR,
favorable for Senator Shoup thar
any other candidate in sight. Il
case Of a failure to eject Mr. Buboi
the Democrats would probably unit
on some Democrat, and this woult
very likely ALLEVIATE the Silver Re
publicans, who would have it il
their power to elect Senator ShouI
or cause dead lock, But specu
lation at this time is Improbable
The situation is very much involv
ed and the unfolding will be watch
ed with interest. This much, how
ever, is clear: The reelection c
Senator Shoup is demanded by tn
best interests Of the State and Nat
ion.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Apprehending that many of the
newly elected legislators may not
know just what is needed in the
way of legislation, THE TRIBUNE
modestly suggests a few items for
their consideration: A law to make
kidnapping a capital offense. This
largely for the protection of MEM
bers who expect rise in fortune
incident to the Senatorial contest.
An antitrust law to prevent leg
islative combinations in the inter
est of Senatorial candidates;
A law to encourage railroad
building by reducing traffic rates;
An income tax law that will at
tract capital to develop the States
natural resources;
An inheritance tax law that will
encourage the accumulation of
wealth;
A banking law that will heavily
tax banks while operating to re-
duce interest rates;
A revenue law that will increase
the revenue and decrease taxes;
A fee law that will give public
servants more pay and less salary;
A constitutional amendment
which will enable members to ride
on passes and collect mileage with
out committing perjury. The
amendment should be retroactive
in order to allay the pangs of con-
science which now afflict some 800
ex.legislators. This would be a
measure for the alienation Of in
ward anguish and the promotion of
outward probity. When the hon
orab1e legislature shall have salts
factorily disposed OF these items,
wemay ask themto pass a law which

shall be complete. Then provi-
sions are made for reviewing the
proceedings in the district court;
and after the order of the County
Commissioners there is power no.
where to avoid the organization ex-
cept in the courts; and certain, well
defined steps must be taken before
the matter can be brought before
the courts. What if the Board of
Directors had Investigated, and in
their minds, determined the pro-
ceedings before the County Com
missioners irregular, what then?
They had no power to annui the
organization, they had power to do
nothing but resign and make place
for another Board of Directors.
When the County Commissioners
turned the business over to the
Board of Directors, the organiza-
ton of the District was complete
under the law, Moreover, section
10 of the District Irrigation law,
providing for judicial examination,
does not contemplate going behind
the order of the County Commits
sioners. The petition for examina-
ton by the courts, says the law,
shall state generally that the irriga-
ton district was duly organized,
and that the first board of directors
was duly elected; "6ut the petition
need not state the facts Sho00img Such
organization of the district or tht
election of said first beard Of direct
oys." Does this not make it clear
that the law contemplated that re
sponsibility for valid organization
should rest with the County Com
missioners? To say that it was thu
duty of the Board of Directors "tC
investigate and see if the proceed
ings had been regular" prior tt
their incumbency, is no more sensi
bic than to say that it will be tn
first duty of the county officers
elect to ascertain whether or no

its auspicious dawn I lift my hands

upon the inhabitants of the earth.
May the sunshine from above smile

may virtue and chastity and honor
prevail, until evil shall be overcome

A PALPARLE ARSURoETY.

The Record wisely relrains from
pressing the charge that it was the
expectation of a "rake-off' that in
spired the principal movers in the
organization Of the Pioneer Irriga-
ton District, and that the business
was rushed in order to secure the
"rake-off. It continues to mali
ciously attack the Board Of Direct
ors, and for no purpose other than
10 discredit the district system and
prevent a successful reorganization.
1t will be remembered that the Rec
ord was in violent opposition to the
original organization; and then, as
now, lacking ability to discuss the
subject on its merits, sought to
bring the project into disrepute by
pusillanimous slurs, vague hints
and aspersions. At present it
would appear that it is playing a
double game: fit cannot prevent
q reorganization, it hopes to cast
sufficient odium on the original
Board Of Directors to prevent their
reelection. In its last issue, it
puts forth the following absurdity:
"The Record Is well aware that at
the time the order for the district
was made Ly the Commissioners
that there was no Board of Direc-
tors in existence, but as soon as
they were elected 1t certainly was
their business to investigate and
see if the proceedings had been reg
ular up to the time they assumed
Office" 1t seems impossible to &C.
count for that proposition on the
theory of ignorance. Why, if that
were correct principle, every pub
lie officer would be in duty bound
to investigate and determine the
validity Of every act of the Legisla-
ture appertaining to his functions.
A board Of school trustees could not
proceed to erect a school house or
employ teacher until they had ju-
dicially investigated and determined
the regularity of the proceedings
anterior to their election or ap-
pointinent. The law says that
