The press are saying some nice things
about our former resident, w. A. King, of
Willimantic, leader of the house of repre-
sentatives during the recent session. We
append few. The Hartford Post says ::
"Mr. King. who as chairman of the
judiciary committee has been leader Of
the house, has been q le@der who leads
In no recent leader of the house have the
members had larger measure of conf
dence. His character and recognized in
tegrity have been large asset, and TO his
motives no suspicion has ever attached.
His fine ability has demonstl ated from day
to day, and his quick perceptions and his
capacity to state a proposition clearly and
to comprehend the ultimate bearings of a
measure has been regularly indicated
The judicial qualities of his temperament,
disclosed In his ability to see both sides of
a question and to take large views of
things, have been regularly on exhibition.
The belief Is general that, II the governor
had not adopted a policy of not throwing
any food to the legislature fish, Mr.. King
would have been translated from the
house to the superior court. He would
make fine Judge, and is In line for eleva-
ton to the bench"
"Trumbill" in the N. Y. Herald sizes
up the legislature that has past adjourn
ed as follows:
What comparison should be made be-
tween the legislature of 1901 and those
which have preceded 1t had better be left
for future comment. Time alone will de-
eide upon the wisdom of the acts of the
assembly that closed Its session this week
1nr~ %R ord p,r% Ahn ~
lon throughout the state and among those
few years Is that the session Of 1901
stands out In bold relief from most of Its
neighbOrs for wise work done and for the
courage that made many important bills
a part Of the law of the estate. A general
assembly, like all other deliberative
bodies that do notable things, has notable
men In 1t, and this has been especially
true this year. The mental abtliti..s OF
the leaders of the legislature of 1901 must
be given the utmost credit for what was
done this session.
The legislature of 1901 will go down to
history as singularly even tempered and
well balanced session. The courtesy
shown the minority by the republican
leaders was uniform and conciliatory, and
did much to lessen the feeling which
might naturally have existed in handful
of democrats when pitted against a large
majority of the opposite party. The feel
ing of friendliness was most remarkable
and was fittingly shown at the close of the
session by the gift to the leader, Mr..
King, which the democrats made. Mr..
King handled the house from the begin.
ming of the session with consummate skill
and patience, and his marked success was
only natural. He failed to pass the Fylel
amendment, to which he was bound by
the action of his party leaders, only
through the timidity and fearsomeness Of
his country town fellows. He succeeded
where he least expected success, In pass.
ing the convention resolution, because he
gracefully accepted defeat In the first
case.

The cadets of Annapolis sat in the
side aisles of the chapel, leaving the
center afsies for the officers and their
families, says DR.. Cyrus Townsend
Brady in Under Tops'ls and Tents"
When the offering was received, the
two boys charged with the duty of
passing the plates did not make the
slightest effort to circulate them among
the cadets, for we never had any mon
ey. They would walk rapidly down the
aisle and then come deliberately up the
middle, gathering thence what they
could. One Sunday the chaplain an
nounced that he would preach a mis-
siOnary sermon the next Sunday. 1t
did not have the ordinary effect in
emptying the church, for we were
obliged to go as usual.
During the week it occurred to the
bright mind of a senior, or first class
man, who is now a prominent New
York financier, that it would be well
for the cadets to make an offering. So
he sent out to the bank on Saturday
morning and succeeded in smuggling i'll
over 800 copper cents, which he dis
tributed l cent per boy to the Epis-
copal battalion. We stationed strong,
long armed man on the outside seat of
the first pew in each aisle.
The chaplain made piteous appeal
for pennies even, and when the aston
ished cadets who passed the plates
started on their perfunctory promenade
the strong, one armed men aforesaid
promptly relieved them of the metal
plates, and each one dropped in one
copper cent with an ominous crash
and then deliberately handed the plate
to the next boy, who did the same
thing. It rained copper cents for about
ten minutes. The chaplain was dread
fully disconnected, the officers fidgeted
and looked aghast. Some of them
laughed, and the cadets preserved a
deadly solemnity. The affair was a
striking success.

On one occasion in the f1fties an anna
teur dramatic performance was given
in San Francisco for the benefit of
some deserving charity. Among the
performers was the late Hugh Farrar
McDermott, the poet, and In box was
Mr.. Mills. The play was some classic
piece, and the acting was SO bad that
what should have been a tragedy be-
came a farce. In the last act McDer-
mott dropped his sword and, STOPPING
awkwardly. picked it up. There was
litter in the audience, which increased
as the luckless performer asked, what
shall do with this envenomed blade"
From the bankers box came in a
queer stage whisper, "Stab yourself,
Hugh, and be done with it!'-Frank
Leslie's Monthly.
