A whole column might be written on the remarks of Judge Burr, iii d police court case ill New Britain the other day. Judge Burr remarked on the small wages married men are obliged to work for in the factories. He said such wages were disgrace to our American institutions and American civilization. The wages referred to were $1.35 per day for an able-bodied man, who paid S4 q week for his board. a pretty small figure. too, and will now have to give his wife $:} d week for the support of herself and her two children. The man will have $1 left for ct ceteras. This is only one case, but there are hundreds of them where men have to support a wife, and more than two children, on less than s1 35 per day. The wonder is how they can do it and live. but they don't half live. Judge Burr, if We have been rightly informed. is right in the home of small wages. There was q time when New Britain laborcrS received q fair amount for their labor. but the Introduction of cheap men who did not care how they lived has made a change, and now, as in the case referred to. an ordinary laboring man gets barely enough to live on.

John said Mrs Croesus, thought fully, everybody in society seems to think a lot of genealogy in these days.
 Jennie what?'' exclaimed John, looking up from his evening paper.
 "Geaneaiogy," repeated Mrs Croe- sus.
 What's that?"
 ''I don't exactly know." replied the good dame 'But 1 think it's a tree of some kind-at least, I've heard some ladies refer to it as q family tree.''
 'NVell, what of it?" he asked.
 'sWhy, it seems to be sort of fad you know, and every one who is any one has to have one.''
 Buy one, then" he said, irritably Buy the best ill town, and have the bill sent in to me, but don't bother me with the details of the affair. Get one and stick it up in the conservatory If you want one, anad if it isn't toe large-'

The "bachelor bill' introduced i

The "bachelor bilI' introduced in
 the legislature last week, it wasn't to be expected, would please everybody.
 Here is the way the bachelor editor of the Hartford Post sizes it up: The bill which found it's way into the general assembly Friday providing that all bachelors who marry after reaching 10 years of age should pay the sum of S100 into the state treas;iry ought to pass. We presume it's object is to in- duce men to marry before they are 40 years of age. but the man who mar ries ought not to be penaliZed to that extent. Ii is rather the bachelor who does not forSalle bachelorhCod after reaching the age of 40 who should be taxed and the tax should be made an annual one and the proceeds should be divided pro rata among men with large families and small incomes. A man who sticks to single blessed ness after reaching the age of 40 is a fair subject for attacks by tax-gath- erers and no sympathy should be felt for him unless he can prove that he has done his best to marry and failed.

CHANGING HIS VOCATION

Old Billy Pritts, for years king of the moonshine gang operating in Son. erset and Fayette counties, Pennsyl- vania, is the latest star to flash upon the histronic Armament. After living for forty years as an outlaw with a price on his head. Pritts was run down and captured by revenue officers last August. Aided by his sons, he stood siege for nearly day and was wounded in the leg before he sur rendered.
 Pitts was taken to Uniontown. where he was held for trial in the United State District court. His patriarchal appearance so impressed several of the towns business men that they went on his bail bond. It was at Uniontown that he first saw a play. He was greatly impressed The production was one of the melo- dramatic type and showed life in the wildS of Tennessee mountains. A bat tie with moonShinerS was one of the features Of the play.
 It was at the height of the battle that Pritts laid the foundation for his stage career. The playacting moon- sinners were being slowly overwhel1n- ed by the revenue officers when Pritts, with the experience of an old cam paigner. saw an opening. LeaplnS from his seat. he yelled: Look out, boys! They're comin' up behind! Give it to 'em back through the DruSh!'
 PrittS made the hit of the evening. A Pittsburg theatrical man who was in the audience hunted up the old moOnShiner after the performance and made him an offer. He explained the nature of stage work, and offered him more money each week than the old 1 man had ever seen in q bunch in his life Pritts was delighted. II guess,'' he said sorrowfully, II can't ever go back to my 'stillin' again. an 1 reckon the money will come in handy. What'll I have to do:' "Do?' responded the theatrical man, ''why, just what you've always been doing You'll be my leading man. I'll 1 get up q play and have you make 1 whiskey on the stage. There'n be q battle with revenue officers, and you'll save the heroine's life and be pardoned 1 and live happy ever after
 But said Billy, with a grin. T don't think I'll be pardoned. They caught me dead an l guess I'm in for | i.''
 "Oh, but the play will come after,' said the theatrical man. After you ve | served your time. you know
 T can't understand" Billy went or. ''They tell me it is agin the law to make whiskey. That's what I'm ar rested for Wouldn't it be agin the law to make it on the stage as well as any other place? Then if I'm to fight the officers ever night l guess I'd be in jail for the rest of my na- tural''
 After the make-believe features of the business were explained Pritts agreed to singn a contract.
 I've got a still up in the mountain that is just the thing" he said. Good for sixty gallon any day. I'll have Ter brought down so you can look at CT"
 Thus the new theatrical star was discovered. Pritts will be put on the stage as soon as he is out of his pres ent troubles-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

RAGS" ESCAPED CATCHERS.

One cold night about four weeks ago a lean cur dashed into the East Eighty y-eighth street station.
 The sergeant ordered the doorman to put it out, which he attempted to do, but the dog would not budge. so he took the animal by the neck, threw him into the street and closed the door,
 Every time the door opened the dog would run in again and finally Cap tain Frers, who was amused at the dogs persistence told the doOrman to let him stay and get him something to eat. .a
 The dog, who was nearly starved, soon revived and became great fav- orite with the men, who found that he could do innumerable tricks.
 On Saturday last two of the police men, followed by the dog, who was named Rags" entered 2 store in Eighty-eighth street, leaving the dog outside.
 They were startled by loud barking and moment later by q crash of glass. and Rags landed in the store. On going outside to learn the cause they found the dog catchers' wagon .ii front of the store.
 The policeman: explained that Rags was the station house dog. The dog catchers retired, saying: Any dog that knows as much as that one does deserves to escape. He spotted us as soon as we came in sight" New York Telegram.

The predominant sentiment seems to be that the current remarkable run of industrial development is forcing on the country an era of concentration of mammoth capitals, destined to admin ister our largest material interests to consider the economic merits or de- merits of these new conditions; to them it is sufficient that a movement of such breadth and prominence, and backed by the foremost fnanciers and capitalists of the country, affords ma
 terial for q speculation of unprece- dcnted breadth, activity and eXpectan- cy. They perceive that, from the eX- tent Of these operations, they must re- uuire time for their consummation and see at least q possibility that the con- solidation movement may run Cn to lengths not at present definitely fore seen. Thus, the general conclusion is
 reached, that a special basis is estab- lished for 8 fairly reasonable specula
 tive probability that the present boom
 will be kept up for some considerable time. with a possibility of even ma
 terially higher prices for many stocks
 than have yet been reached. Plainly
 this is the controlling sentiment un-
 deriving the present extraordinary sit
 uation. It is adhered to with great tenacity and with very sanguine. hopes, and it's attractions are drawing into
 the market very large amounts of cap ital which have rarely ventured on speculative operations; whilst by a sort of necessity, it is drawing even
 conservative investors into specula- tions associated with the deals: but | wider fluctuations for the balance of
 this month and during March may be expected. It is not to be denied that
 a situation so calculated. to excite the | optimistic spirit of speculation has nev- | CT before existed in Wall street; in-
 deed, we may not alone say Wall street, for like furore has dominated 1 London, in spite of the many bearish l factors that are now straining that
 
 center From the wholly extraordi- nary state of affairs presented by the
 new conditions in politics, trade. indus- l try and finance, we could expect from speculation no other result than that which now appears in a rise of one third in the market value of nearly all
 corporate investments. Nor can we be sure that this great enhancement
 of prices has yet reached its culmina- ton. Certain it is, however, that the point has not yet been reached at I which the .'bear" has even yentured on Ia tentative test of the inherent strength of the market. The pessi- mists are lying low until | higher state lof tension in prices has peen reached. or are even lens1inx their help as buy

HEARD IN PASSING

A Waterbury bank official had q very busy time Saturday. A crazy man demanded g.. 100000 of him To pay off all the national debts of the world. The craZieSt part of the idea is that the man thought any Water bury bank should have this amount Of money.-Bridgeport Telegram Union.
 In his address at the annual ban quct of the Waterbury Merchants as sociation, Thursday night. o. A. Zig latzki, formerly of Hartford, men mentioned the utter abolition of the trading stamp nuisance in the Brass city as one of the things accomplished by the organization. He put in q plea. for adding another night to the early closing movement.-Hartford Post. The supreme court of Michigan es- tablished a day or two ago what is likely to be an important precedent. when it decided that franchises may be taxed under the laws of that state. The Michigan constitution provides that all assessment shall be on prop erty at it's true cash value" which would seem fully to cover the value of the franchises, but it has been con strued to mean almost everything but
 that up to the present time.-Spring- field Republican.
 Harvard university has not money ! enough to run it's $1o,0OO,OOO plant. The univerSityS expenses are running
 ahead of it's income, even more than last year. and the deficit already
 amounts to SiO.OCO. Hetrenchment is staring the faculty of arts and sciences in the face. The veterinary school has been given up. Tho Slavonic de-
 pertinent is now abandoned Every
 additional member added to the stu dent body costs double the sum he
 pays This is pointed out as the cause of Harvard's financial embarrassment. Hartford Times.
