HIGH ENDORSEMENT FROM A SUCCESS
 FUL MAN OF BUSINESS.
 "I no not know as you know it, MT Smith, but it is fact that there are few local papers in the country the equal of THE BEE. Your grasp on the local news field is remarkable and you are certainly publishing splendid local paper" So said L. F. Curtis, the successful Bridgeport druggist and man of affairs, to the editor of THE BEE on Tuesday. When asked if the writer might give the substance of the conversation in print, he said, "Yes sir," in an emphatic way. It is not our custom to indulge in self adulation, but such an endorsement coming unsolicited from so conserva- tive citizen was indeed pleasing. In contrast to MT Curtis kindly endorse ment wewere gratified on Tuesday by the hearty word of praise that was given THE BEE by man laboring in the trenches on Bank street, who rep resented another class of citizens so far as wealth is concerned. Said he: 1T would not do without THE BEE if the subscription price were double what it iS.''

 AMONG THE HORSEMEN.
 A rain storm which came up about an hour after the first race at Island last week Friday, caused a postpone ment of some of the events. It was announced that Searchlight, who was distanced in the third heat of the 2.04 pace Thursday, will probably never face the starter again, he having broken down. The above dispatch will be of great interest to local horse men. The famous pacer Searchlight mentioned above is the horse once owned by J. Harman Bronson of New Haven. The horse while in New Ha- ven made fine record for himself and clipped off 4 IA; later he shaved that down to something below A.. While in New Haven it is said the horse showed soreness forward and it is believed that the breaking down of the flyer was caused by the trouble which de- veloped while he was owned in the Elm City. Searchlight has had a won derful racing career. He took to the track when two-year-old and has been campaigning hard ever since. He was sold by MT Bronson to number of men and the price received by MT Bronson for him is believed to have been about $5, 5,OOO.ILeader.

 NOTES FROM ST JOHNS.
 Rev MT Pond of Winsted officiates at St Johns church, Sunday, in place of Rev MT Plumb, who is having 4 months rest.
 The musical service at St John's last Sunday, was well rendered. A large congregation was present. Miss Chopourian of South Norwalk sang 70 Divine Redeemer," by Gounod, also duet with Miss Osborne, in an eminently pleasing manner. It is hoped that similar services will be given, as they are greatly appreciated.

Lightning struck great maple tree north of the house and coming to the earth burned a pathway in the grass for 70 feet when it disappeared into a drain.

POPE AND UNITED ITALY.
Catholic Question Blocks tho Way of
Successful Government

Catholic Question Blocks the Way of II
Successful Governmsnt.
Both young and old, the holy father
said at Christmas, were wanted in the
Christian movement for the upraising
of the people. and young and old must
work hand in hand. These frequent
exhortations of the pope to union
among Catholics suggests the existence
OF causes of dissension, says the Tab
let.
There are Catholics OF the Old school,
fond of a quiet life. who refuse to take
note of the changed conditions of the
times; on the other hand, there are
ardent young spirits who forget that
there has been a past at all. and who
seek to impress their own ideas whole
Italy of today
To these especially the holy father
addresses a former instruction on the
social movement, in which he urges
that 1t must be in continuity with the
past, must draw its inspiration from
religion, and its direction from the
pastors of the church. There have
been some few who were ready to leave
the Roman question and the rights of
the holy see in the background in their
eagerness to prove the democratic
character of the Catholic movement.
The Roman question does undoubtedly
block the way of the Italian govern
ment. whose path will never be smooth
until it has solved 1t to the satisfaction
of the pope.

IdiosyncrRcies of Authors.

Those who suppose that the work OF
authorship is easy may be interested
to learn some of the expedients re-
sorted to by distinguished men of let
ters. With strong and vigorous men
like Victor Hugo and Catulle Mendes a
walk Is sufficient to stimulate ideas !;
the weak, on the contrary, like Des-
cartes and Leibnitz, find their inspir-
alton lying down. Cujas usually wrote
lying on his stomach. Rossini and
Ambrose Thomas were inspired only
when in bed. Chateaubriand used to
dictate to his secretary while walking
barefooted up and down his chamber
Bossouet wrapped his head in warm
linen. BalZac wore a monks cowl and
Gautier red dressing gown. 1t is sa d
that without his scarlet jacket NJ
Francois Coppee could not write. Lord
Derby when writing filed his mouth
with cherry brandy. Fenimore Cooper
sucked gum and Pierre Lott has re-
course to perfumes.

EVOLUTION OF ELEPHANTS.
Notable Find In Egypt which May Solve

u
The history or the extinct members
OF the elephant order has always prov
ed of interest because of the associa-
tion of primitive man as a contempo-
than this big furred elephant are
known to science. and among them
stand out very prominently the masto-
dons.
One Of the unsolved points regarding
elephant history in the past has been
the nature of the links. which on the
evolution theory are bound to exist by
way of connecting these giant Great
ures with their ancestors. says the
London Chronicle. DR.. C. W. Andrews
has been making notable find in
Egypt. such as may serve to supply the
gaps and to produce the missing
links" in the elephant chain of descent.
He has found the fossil remains of
an animal which, while smaller than
the mastodons. is evidently closely re-
lated to them on the one side. Beyond
this comes another fossil find of still
more primitive elephant that takes us
back in the family history to the
hoofed quadrupeds. This last form
may come to be regarded as the point
OF departure of the elephant branch of
the mammalian tree. The British Mu-
scum will probably be duly enriched
by the exhibition of these primitive
types of elephant life.

Odd Fad of Some Prominent New York
Society Mon.
Collectors Of scarf pIns-or tie pins,
to be more correct-are one of the
fads of New York men. The recent
robbery of Paul Gilbert Thebaud by
his valet revealed that Mr.. Thebaud
was one who cultivated this hobby.
One of the largest collections OF the
kind was left some years ago by jim
mie" Wood, an eccentric.bachelor, well
known In New York society, who lived
at the old New York hotel. Mr. Wood
left nearly 500 pins, which were dis
tributed to various friends. He was
bachelor and a native of Baltimore.
His hair and whiskers were fiery red,
and for long time he dyed them,
making them almost supernatural and
Mephistophelean In their effect Sud
denly he gave up the deception, and
afterward appeared with snow-white
hair and side appendages. He was al
ways in love with the last society
beauty. but he would never propose.
and he took deepest umbrage if any of
them married. To one daughter of
socially prominent family, famous
beauty still, he had left large sum
in his will. On her marriage. however,
he managed to change the amount OF
zeroes and the punctuation point so
that her dowry from him fell from
thousands to hundreds-not being in
clined to further express his dissat-
isfaction In legal codicil.
William Cutting and Center Hitch"
cock have collections of the pins al
most as extensive as Is that of Mr..
Thebaud. Many OF these were given
them at weddings at which they were
ushers.

mended by Senator Seward" was the
chief manager. He provided special
trains to be preceded by pilot engines
all the way through.
1t was gloomy day: heavy clouds
floated overhead and a cold rain was
falling. Long before eight o'clock, a
great mass of people had collected at
the station of the Great Western rail-
way to witness the event of the day.
At precisely five minutes before eight.
Mr.. Lincoln. preceded by Mr.. Wood.
emerged from n private room in the
depot building. and passed slowly to
the car. the people falling lack respect
fully on either side, and as many as
possible shaking his hands Having
finally reached the train, he assembled
the rear platform. and. facing about to
the throng which had closed around
him, drew himself up to his full
height, removed his hat. and stood for
several seconds in profound silence
His eye roved sadly over that sea of
upturned faces, and he thought he read
In them again the sympathy and
friendship which he had often tried
and which he never needed more than
he did then. There was an unusual
quiver in his lip. and still more un-
usual tear on his shriveled cheek. His
solemn manner. his long silence, were
as full of melancholy eloquence as any
words he could have uttered. What
did he think of? OF the mighty changes
which had lifted him from the lowest
to the highest estate on earth? OF the
weary road which had brought him to
this lofty summit? OF his poor mother
lying beneath the tangled underbrush
In a distant forest? or that other
grave in the quiet Concord cemetery?
Whatever the particular character of
his thoughts. 1t is evident that they
were retrospective and painful. To
those VINO were anxiously waiting to
catch words upon which the fate of
the nation might hang. 1t seemed long
unit! he had mastered his feelings suf-
ficiently to speak. At length he began
in husky tone of voice. and slowly
and impressively delivered his farewell
to his neighbors. Initiating his exam
pie. every man in the crowd stood with
his head uncovered in the fast-falling
rain.
