Sir Conrad Reeves, chief justice of
Barbados. who died short time ago,
was a mulatto who rose from the
humblest social condition. He began
life as a newspaper reporter and even
tually came to be regarded as the
greatest statesman, ablest lawyer and
most patriotic of all native West In
dams. At the time of his death he
was 80 years old.

poukhobors Are Perishlna.

Winnipeg, Man.. Nov. 5.-The Douk-
hobor pilgrims on the march in search
of the new Messiah are now on the
verge of starvation and death. Yes
terday occasional wheat fields through
which the fanatics passed were CLEAN
ed by the vanguards. The wheat they
gathered is used as food, and it is all
they have to live on. Reports from
the last stopping place of the Russians
indicate that the end Is near. Scores
of the pilgrims have fallen on the
plains, and despite the eXhorting Of
Leader Zibroff, many were talking of
turning back to their homes.

GENIAL HORACE ALLEN SURPRISED.
Last Thursday night, January 16,
Horace Allen was given a surprise
at his home, Brookside farm, by his
many friends and neighbors who re-
Sponded freely to invitations which
had been previously sent out. Mr.
Allen was about to retire for the night
when a rap upon the door was answer
ed by him, and to his great surprise he
soon found his Slumbers for that night
were very much at an end. Happily
Mr. Allen was equal to the occasion,
and turning to his wife asked if they
had not better prepare the vacant
house, in which so many good times
have been had and which Mr. Allen
uses for storing purposes. Mrs Allen
had been previously notified and, hay
ing everything in readiness, dancing
was soon commenced to music furnish
ed by Everett Waldron, with guitar
accompanying. Supper was served at
midnight and as usual everything in
fine edibles was furnished. The COM
pany dispersed for their several homes
at an early hour all hoping Mr. and
Mrs Allen may again in the near fu-
ture be agreeably surprised.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

COST AND CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE.
1t has cost more than 81 600, in the
last ten years, to give three of my chill
dren such schooling, away from home,
as they should have received right
here in Newtown free of any expense.
And this is only one case out of the
many illustrating the loss, inconven-
fence and injustice due to the failure
of any proper management of the
public schools. Scores Of our boys and
girls have been sent out of town for
the same reason, within the period
mentioned above, at cost Of many
thousand dollars, not only to the
financial but the social loss of the
community. Scores Of other children
have been sent to the Newtown Acad+
envy at considerable expense for
tuition, besides the cost in time, mon
ey, and inconvenience of transporter
ton, simply because the public schools
have failed to afford them such adj
vantages as the State provides and the
taxpayers have paid for.
Family after family has removed
from this town within a few years,
mainly if not solely, because there was
no prospect of suitable school priv
ileges for the children. And on the
other hand, a considerable number of
families which for business or other
reasons would have come here to make
homes have decided not to locate in
town because of the shameful cOndi-
tions into which our educational in
terests have fallen. Moreover, of those
who have come here for business pur-
poses, within short time, not know.
ing the situation, there is probability
that some will not remain unless they
receive some assurance of change for
the better. They have taken their
children out of good schools, and have
come hither only to be deeply disap-
pointed. Education is no longer a
luxury, but an urgent necessity. And
the advantages of residing in place
where the children can be schooled at
home, at the public expense, are wei;
understood, and can hardly be over
estimated.
The most pitiable part of it all il
that hundreds of young people who
most needed the little training of the
right sort which at best can be give1
in the common schools, have gone out
into life more or less crippled, socially
and mentally, in the last 25 years, be-
cause they have been defrauded O.
their rights in this matter of public
instruction. Some of them realize it
and some do not.
There is money enough spent on Oul
public schools in NewtOwn to give oul
children just as good educational priv
ileges as there are in any town in the
State, beginning with kindergarten
work and ending in high school will
suitable preparation for college, o.
business. Alas! how costly and how
serious are the consequences Of such ;
miserable failure in the management
of this important business! And ever
the half of it has not been told! VIII

TOBACCO GROWERS PETITION TO CON-
GREss.
A petition representing 700 tobacco
growers in New Milford and vicinity
has been signed and sent on to Senators
Hawley and Platt and Congressmen
E. J. Hill. 1t has been circulated by
Nicholas Glennon, and the names
represent the most influential and
leading farmers. 1t is as follows:
To The Honorable Gentlemen,
Members of Ways and Means Commit
tee of Senate and Congress, Washing
ton, D. c., U. S. A.: We, the tobacco
growers of Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
Vermont and New Hampshire, do
hereby petition the members of the
Ways and Means Committee in the
Senate and Congress of the United
States that they make no change in
present tariff on wrapper tobacco i'm
ported into the United States from
any foreign country.
Whereas the raising of Sumatra
wrapper tobacco under shade the past
season has proved successful in Cuba,
as we'll as in New England, although
heretofore only small percentage of
wrapper tobacco has been raised or i'm
ported from said island. The same
fact is found in Florida and Georgia,
where only a small percentage OF
wrappers can be raised in the open
field, while under cloth about 80 per
cent can be raised. Through the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the services of Secretary
Wilson and Prof Milton Whitney,
chief of bureau of soils, the United
States government has opened up a
large and thriving industry for New
England farmers and we sincerely pray
that our Honorable Senators and Con-
gressmen will have some consideration
for the farmer who raises tobacco for
living; bearing in mind that the New
England Yankee cannot compete with
Coolie labor in foreign countries.
