CHARLES CURTIS.

On June 2l, the many friends of Charles Curtis assembled at his late home to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of him who has been a respected citizen of this town for 82 years, having resided all these years near the place of his birth. He had long been afflicted with rheumatism. but his last illness was of only two weeks duration. He leaves widow and one daughter, Mrs Virgil McNeil of New Haven. Thus another "land- mark" has passed away that will be sadly missed. Six years ago the 2lst bled at their residence to celebrate their golden wedding.

A MODEL GARDEN.

If you would like to inspect model garden just drive into the yard of the Vacation House farm, where the gar dens are looked after by that genial gentleman. Andrew Irwin, Here un- der the highest fertilization and care, two and one-half acres are devoted to potatoes, two and one-half acres to sweet corn, and two and a half acres to general gardening. Through the center of the plot is wide path through which one may drive team, and bordering this are beds of flowers and vegetables. Considering the back ward season the garden never looked better. The entire product of the garden goes to supply the Vacation house and is one of those quiet and blessed beneficent acts of Mrs Van Ingen, who does a great deal of work of this nature of which the world does not know.

SAD ACCIDENT ON THE FOURTH.

Independence day was passed very quietly in this village. The. people were shocked in the afternoon by the news of the drowning of Sheldon Ed wards of Roxbury, who was at the lake, with 30 others from Washington, New Milford and Roxbury, for pie nic. It seems that he decided to make leap in hls bathing suit from a boat into the water which was there about 15 feet deep. After he struck the water he exclaimed, "I cannot swim. and despite all efforts, he sank to rise no more. Once, it is said, he reached and grasped the boat but soon relaxed his hold. Phil White head, who was with him in the boat, jumped into the water and was for a moment grasped on the shoulder by Edwards, but he seemed so craZed or weakened or was seized with cramps, that he let go his hold again. Several young men of the party dived to find him but without avail, As soon as Col B. Johnson, Thomas Martin and others from this village reached the scene they put out in boats with grap- bling hooks and Martin and Johnson soon found the body and brought it to shore and soon after it was conveyed to Washington for the coroner's in- spection. Thus closed sad experi- ence of picnic party at Lake Wara- maug on Independence day.

CURRENCY REFORM

Readers of tlr Bankers M1gazin' will find in lts October number 70 timely and str,ightforw1rI articl. that sheds go great deal of light upon tho vicISsiuid's of currsncy reform iu th' United sntcs. NIT Rhodes says that the bankers of the country can get any kind of legislation they want The trouble is they cant agree Gt Is worth 1 good deal c" th" country Co have expert publications thnt have the trm.rity and resolution Co tru the truth about che business Co which they cater Nlr. Rhodes always does this, and though h,s observations read Ike discoveries. and are. of course. x coth"- dra. they ar, self-c, iJcnt Co anyone at an convcrsant with financial usogcs.
 We have different classes ot banks and the Bankers Magazine tells us how they work at cross purposes. Doubtless thcre are currency reforms that the state and private banks favor and th" National banks oppose. but as c" th" wise and honest enterprise of slhstit1t ing bank currency for treasury notes the state and private b1-'S 1.. in opp"- sltlon Co the country wHiftrs They prefer government notes f' bank notes Mir. Rhodes says ou. ri-ou is that they prize the freedom th., V'pt l"sr by coming nuder ths restrictions "f the National banking low. and also they like Government notes because of their convenience. and because. being homo geneous. they reduce Inland cVchangr to a minimum
 We take for granted the accuracy Of Inc magazines diagnosis We do not charge the private banks with opposition Co banking currency. We merely assume it upon the rnagazine's assertion. And upon that assumption it is pertinent Co point out the menace of that opposition. Gov ernmental promises to pay should h' pald The medium of commercial eN- change is not properly Treasury notes in any form. but the property of business either in coin. owned by its possessor. oi in notes rcdccmable on compHlsion bN their source of issue-that is. banks. l' Is against public policy for financial in' stitutlons Co array themselves against the substitution of bank notes for Treas ury notes.
 The same thing must bc said of tho opposition to the restrictions Of the Ma tional banking law. Some of these re- strlctlons are onerous and should b' frightened: some arc unjust and should b' removed: some pohAftlvely promote infractions of law. But in their genera purpose and scope they are just and salutary. The public welfare would b' immeas1rably promoted tf an the state and private banks of deposit and dis count in the country were made ovei into National banks tomorrow. Then the substitution of banking currency
