Inf EGR .EH THE TRIBrNE.l

New Haven. Conn. June 16.-The proposed re-
vision of the constitution of the State was re-
jected by popular vote to-day by majority OF
Q 900 The vote was generally light, but was
unmistakabIe small and large towns rejecting
1t in most cases. All of the cities of the state
except Putnam voted against it, while the small
towns were divided. those that lost legislators
by the change of representation voting 1t down
and those that gained accepting it. In New
Haven the vote was 500 for. 1856 against; in
Hartford 695 for. 3462 against; in Water
bury 211 for. 1.129 against; in Bridgeport, 59l

measure and nnety-ive against ii. The total
vote in the State was 11.013 in favor and 2O233
against the proposed change, or 10 per cent of
the whole registration.
The new constitution was the result or
three months debate by convention or one
delegate from each town that met in Hartford
on January l. The old constitution gave one or
two representatives in the House TO towns en-
tering by historical accident. and had been a
source of public protest for twenty years The
small towns fought any grant of additional leg
isIative power 10 the cities but compromise
measure was finally adopted. which was put TO
state vote on referendum to-day. This called for
one representa- tive from each town. and two for
towns between 1000 and 10000 population IL
did not suit any party to the controversy, and

WILLIE HAD A Pain

II was with silent alarm that young
William Baker, the most bashful boy
of his class, noted the steady progress
of an internal pang. 1t became so
acute finally that he could maintain
his composure no longer and he cried
outright.
The gentle school teacher came
down from her chair upon the tlais
and. placing her nand kindly upon the
boys head. asked him what was the
matter.
William only sobbed. He dare not
designate his trouble by the rude term
under which 1t was known to school
boys. His better instincts told him
that such language was not suited to
the ears OF lady. But after hearing
much tender sympathy and hesitating
profoundly, he managed to hit upon
what seemed to him to be polite
phrase OF diagnosis. And so he raised
his fearful eyes and said:
please ma am, I've got a pain IN my

She was unquestionably the last Of
the lairies; all the others had disap
peared one by one-for fairies rass
away just as field marshals do, and
now no new ones are created. The
old fairies, then, had persisted in the
course of time, one having been killed
in a quarrel with rival; another hav.
ing come to a sad end through love Of
a mortal, and various others having
been slain by progress; so. one by one,
the old fairies had all vanished and
the few survivors divided their prop
erty among them.
The last of the fairies lived in the
heart of a Thuringian forest. THE
densest forests are usually to he found
in Thuringia.J From time to time she
was visited by dwarf, who told her
OF the death 81 one Of her sisters and
brought her her share of the property
which had belonged to tue deceased:
as a result, talismans, magic wands,
enchanted boxes. and all the other nee.
essary accessories of her profession
were heaped in piles along the entire
length OF her cave.
At last a deputation Of elfs called
and informed her that the last Of her
coevals had passed away, and then
she knew that she was the last of the
fairies. As she had never left the
forest, she felt neither proud nor
melancholy at the news that she had
become Queen OF Fairyland. After all,
she had no one to reign over but her
self, and II ii is difficult to obey II is
still more difficult to command.
Sometimes she visited her only
friend. an old genie. VINO was the guar,
dian of the earth's secrets. Then they
talked about the things which interest
cd them; for example. about the voca
ton OF the supernatural parsonage who
has no future. about the histories OF
celebrated enchanters and about the
best methods OF making a philter. The
genie had written n Complete Genie's
Handbook" which was regarded as an
authoritative work. At sunrise the
fairy went back to sleep in her owl
cave. Sometimes the old genie visited
her there and examined her collection
Of talismans, which he criticised. Or
such occasions they exchanged tails
mans and other things with each other
and for several centuries they carried
on this peaceful method o. Going bus
