Considerable Business Disposed of
 During the Week.
 Hartford, April 20.-This week has been most interesting and important one in legislative matters. Both the house and the senate rushed through a large number of measures, many of which were among the most important or the session, and an unexpected batch of bills was turned down by both branches also. Among the bills passed was the new savings bank bill providing for certain western railroad bonds which may be invested in the savings banks in this state. It's pass age was accompanied by stormy dis cusson, in which Senators Sloper and Kenealey created much interest as well as opposition by their remarks. The new redistricting bill was passed creating special committee to con slider the redistricting of the state into new congressional districts and the di- viding of the senatorial districts on a new arrangement. This committee will be appointed in a few days and will get to work at once.
 The house received the favorable re port of the minority of the voting ma chine committee appointed by the as- sembly Of 1899 recommending local option in the use of voting machines, and rearranging the present ballot laws. 2

TONNES VIEW OF IT.
Says Aguinaido's Proclamation Is One of the Most Pathetic Incidents.

Says Aguinaido's Proclamation Is One
 of the Most Pathetic Incidents.
 Kansas City. Mo, April 20.-Ex-Sen- ator Charles A. Towne of Minnesota was shown copy of Aguinaldo's proc lamation last night. He said: Ut is clearly the utterance of a man who yields only to force, and considering the occurrences of the past two years it constitutes one of the most pathetic incidents in history. 1 see nothing in the proclamation on which to base any imputation on the good faith of Aguin- aldo. There is, however, an expression that somewhat alters my opinion of his astuteness based on his previous conduct. He says that the Filipino people will. under the sway of the United States, obtain all promised liberties.' He cannot have forgotten the assurances of General Anderson in 1898 as to the justice with which our allies against Spain would be treated on the solemn promise of the president at the beginning of the era of benevolent assimilation.
 ''One thing should be borne in mind, the surrender of every hostile force in the Philippines and the absolute ac- ceptance of our dominion throughout the archipelago does not dispose of the question involved in the acquisition and government by this republic of distant colonial dependencies. Wrong as the policy is, and cruel as 1t is against the F'ilipinos, it is infamously more worng and cruel from the stand point of the welfare of the United States"

ATTORNEY BRONSON REPLIES. Thinks a Certain Reporter Must Haya
 Drawn on His Imagination.

Waterbury, Conn, April 20 1901. To the Editor of the Democrat:
 I observe in yesterdays issue of your paper 2 statement that \ ain "still undecided whether or not to take the appeal of Joseph Sandiford from the jury verdict in the district court to the supreme court. This Is error. I am not and never have bedn undecided Where you obtained your idea or information on this sub- ject do not know.
 I observe further that you state that s'as the last retired prosecuting att0r- ney of the district 1t is considered his duty to do this work" That again is error. Same comment. No officer of the court is likely to venture such am opinion. Not only do not consider If. my duty, but positively have no pow CT in the premises. nor have yet been authorized by any person having the power.
 Your reporter handing in this state ment as to my state of mind must have drawn upon his imagination, probably from force of habit.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Boice Declared Not Guilty of Theft bg
 Judge Peasley.

tH
 Tn the police court this morning. Judge F. NJ. Feasley presiding, S0l' Boice of J0hnson avenue was charged with stealing a bed spread and quilt from l.. A. Raymond of 324 South Main street. The things were stolen last Thursday night. and shortly after the theft Officer Halpin fonnds the goods on Meadow street with Boice and another man quite near them. The officer was aware that such articles were missing and was on the lookout for them. He testified that when he nrst saw Boice ne was in a crouehIn& position and heard some one Say. Cheese it.'' Boice manifested djs- position to run, and seeing this the officer cOllared him and brought him and the stolen property to the station. MT Raymond was in court and idenf1- fed the articles as the ones taken from his place. Boice did not deny anything the officer said, but contended that While he was aware the goods had been stolen, he was not the guilty par ", the latter having disappeared juSf before the officer appeared upon tlle scene. Attorney McMahOn acted as prosecutor and after questioning the accused about his past record and learning that this was his third offense. stated to the court that in case he found him guilty he should be bound over. At this juncture the man $ wife walked over to the clerk, who beck oned her to the judge, and without any solicitation from his honor she strolled into the witness stand and vas about to say something to the court when he said that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant conviction and declared the prisoner not guilty. This was all, and Mir and Mrs Sol Bofce went out of court apparently us happy as the day they were made maa and wife.

WASTE IN RESTAURANT DISHES

My wife being out of town, I have been dining around of late," said a gentleman who likes to get aboat a bit among men, and see how others live.
 The thing that struck me most forci- bly, was the enormous waste there is in the better class of restaurants, and why managers should permit it, when it could just as we'll be avoided. Take this as example: dined at big hotel on Wednesday night. That being a 'fsh-day,' I thought I could get some first-class fish, and tried it. I got what I wanted-a bit of sheepshead that was superbly cooked, finely served, and as good 2 piece of fish as I ever put in my mouth. I had celery with 1t. The, charges were moderate enough-too moderate. I thought, for the quantity of food I was given. There was fish enough for thi
 least. No half portions of either were served. Now, I would as soon have paid the same price far half the quan- tity of either dish, and would then have thought I was abundantly served. More than half my order went back to the kitchen, and I felt as if was in measure responsible for part of that waste in consequence.
 ''Of course, 1t was none of my busi- ness to philasophize that there were hundreds of persons who would have been made happy could they have had that which could not eat. Neither is it any business of the hotel people. But why in the world whoever has But why in the world whoever has charge of serving the food should give one man so much more than lie can possibly eat is q question ill the econ omy of running hotels and restaurants that bothered me then and bothers me still. 1t is a custom in all first-class places, and the reason for it is puzzle that seems beyond solution. Two men could not have wanted what I had in one portion of fish, if they had anything else, and there was hardly a man din- ing at this particular place that tevening but had either soup or oysters to begin with, and followed his fish course with some other food-either q solid meat or a sweet of some sort.
 s'It would seem as if economy were one of the things never thought of in the management of restaurants. Yet it strikes the average man. fancy, as one of the first things that would na- turally be cons:.,erai ;i place is run for the prcfit thcrc $ in it. I am ncr yet convia cd that restnulan a-e roIi- ductsd solely for the fun of feeding the public."--Hotel Register,

George 7Ackerman Has Been Placed in
 Charge for the Present.
 The Plaza hotel was attached last evening for bin of $2,5OO. The pa- pers were served by Deputy Sheriff Rametti and were drawn up by Attor- ney Durant The attaching parties were Redfield & Craig, wholesale liquor dealers in Hartford. James Nel- son was put in charge of the place for lime and he was latter substituted by George Ackerman. The business of the hotel wasinot interrupted. The hotel is practically owned by NJ. Flag ris and the manager is John J. kelli- her. The concern, since it was built has been an unprpftable venture to all but the owners of the building. James Campbell chairman of the democratic town committee of Hartford was part owner of the hotel when 1t first opened it's doors. It is said he put in ST BOO and lost it. When the papers iof at tachment were served yesterday both Mir Campbell and Mir. Harris were out of town. For some time the place has been advertised for sale throughout New England and while many were willing to inyes q first sight, upon in quiry into the expenses of running, they backed out. The rent is 3.3Oo, while salaries and other matters figure up as much more.
 The attaching parties, Redfeld & Craig, were owed $1 POO which was se- cured by a chattel mortgage. There is every expectation that this and all other bills will be adjusted to the sat. iSfoc of all The hotel danart7s nSa sentially upon theatrical people, the most capricious element of the human race as every hotel keeper oe experience has found out. The place is still in the custody of keeper though the business is going along the same as ever.

 T shouldn't care to say just now" replied the man behind the desk. ssthoug there is nothing in it that I have any particular objection to with the exception of the sections relating to apprentices and the increase in wages. 1t is difficult to regulate the apprentice question. A concern might want number of boys all aiming to be machinists and yet doing chores of one kind and another about the plant that have no connection whatever with the trade In this way they be- come familiar with the details of the business, so that when you put them on they are not so green as if they had no chance to look around the machine room on and off before signing ar ticles of agreement. This is some thing that the concerns should have full control over. I don't like the de- mand for an increase in wages, but MT Donahue informed me that it is q mistake to put 1t in that way. 1t means nothing, so Mr Donahue in- formed me. except that, after May 20, machinists shall receive the same pay for nine hours as they had been getting for ten. You see if man is getting $500 q day now and he starts in on nine hours later all he would be getting would be S2.70 per day. The Increase which the contract calls for would leave the men with the same wages they are now receiving. But I don't like the way it is worded.
