The stable in Branford owned by j

The robbers made their escape and
no arrests in connection with the case

was taken. as well as robes.
The heavy rain of the thunder show

tracks made by the wheels when the
barn was left, and no one about the

LESSONS IN CONVERSATION
ONE SCHOOL IN NEW YORK
THAT MAKES
Business of Teaching This Difficult

New York has one establishment il
| which, among other things, they teach
the art of conversation.
How do you go about it?" was
| asked
! I'VE discover at the outset" was the
| reply lin what particular subject the
pupil is interested, and there are few pei
| sons who are not interested in or who
have not latent talent for something
and develop him at first along that
line. By showing to him that he has a
talent we give him confidence in himself
to begin with, and then by education
and practice we give him facility.
AT the beginning we have the pupil
read some book, bearing upon the sub
ject in which he is particularly inter-
sted, whatever that may be. In a week,
say he comes back to report on the
box, and we engage him In conversa-
ton about it, this being the first les
son.
Il seek his opinion concerning specific
points in the book, and he begins in
these talks to gain readiness of express
sion. AS we go ON we give him other
books or other subjects, and in the
course of these earlier practice lessons
we begin to teach him voice meditation
and other refinements in the manner of
speech.
''In due time the candidate is intro
duced to our conversatio class, which
is composed of men, and of women, too,
for we instruct here women as well as
men in this art. The women are taught
by an Instructor of their own sex
THE subjects for conversation in the
classes, where the students meet as in
a social gathering. are selected some
times by myself, more often by the
students. BY these gatherings am en-
abled to correct defects In bearing and
manner and speech and to make to
them suggestions for their further i'm
porvement.
1.-THE subjects considered in the class
es have, of course a much wider range
than those considered in the earlier in
struction. In the classes we talk Of the
new books and Of the magazines of the
day and of current topics Of Importance
and of popular interest; Of the things
that would most likely be the subjects
of conversation in any gathering.
These, to be sure, would not cover
the whole field, which might. indeed in
clude all history and science and art,
too much to teach in one short course;
but what we do teach the pupil would
at least enable him to acquit himself
in general conversation
about how long would it take to
equip man in need of such instruction
SO that he could thus acquit himself?"
THAT would depend, of course, upon
the person, but the answer would be in
a general way, from three to six

CRUSTINESS AND FROsTINESS IN
PUBLIC LIFE

Washington dispatches state that
Hon. Elihu Root, secretary of war. has
incurred the dislike of number of re-
publican senators, who will not be sat
isfied until'he retires from the cabinet
Mr.. Root is now in Cuba, and during
| his absence from Washington the
| statesmen whom he Is alleged to have
offended will, it is reported. confide
their grievances to the president and
| impress nupon the executive the advis-
ability of having a secretary of war in
| "closer touch" with congress.
The Indictment brought against Mr..
Root by those who are not friendly to
| him does not reflect upon hts efficiency
as the head of the war department.
He is undoubtedly as capable a secreta-
ry as any of his predecessors in office
for many years. 1t is charged, howev-
er, that he does not treat our statesmen
with the Difference to which they think
themselves entitled. Before he came to
Washington to administer the war de-
partment Mr. Root was a lawyer with
large and lucrative practice In New
York He had many subordinates to
whom he gave instructions and from
whom, it is said, he exacted instant and
unquestioning obedience. There is
nothing very remarkable about that,
however; nothing which should unfit a
capable man for discharging the duties
of secretary Of war. No business can
be conducted successfully If discipline 81
not enforced Without prompt and
cheerful obedience on the part of SUI
bordinates the best regulated establish
ment would go to pieces. But Mr..
Roots critics allege that he acquired in
New York peremptory and dictatorial
way which is not adapted to the atmos-
phere of Washington. Hence, their
murmurs Of discomfort, their protests,
their reported determination to bring
about his retirement in favor Of Sec
rotary of milder mien and more engag-
ing manners.
1t is inferred from the many dispatch
es on this subject which have been
printed recently that Secretary Root
does not manifest sense of awe or
even of veneration when he is brought
into contact with the statesmen in
Washington On the contrary, it would
appear according to reports, that when
he meets them he is either cold and dis
tant in his manner or brusque and
naughty. al is rumoIeQ that recently
when delegation of senators and rep
resent atives called on the secretary to
talk over important matters Mr.. Root
sent word to them that he was EN-
gagged He declined to become olsen
gagged when they suggested the urgency
of their mission and they had to retire
without seeing him. Evidently this is
not the proper thing in Washington.
The secretary of war holds his office |
through the courtesy of senators: he is
appointed by the president subject to
the senates approval Hence, when !
senator's drop in on him ii is apparently |
ais duty to break the most pressing en- |
yagements and submit himself to the |

senatorial will and pleasure 1t is "bat
FORM" judging by published accounts
for the head of the war department tt
keep a delegation of wise and dignified
statesmen waiting in his ante-roon
while he attends to other matters.
1t may be true, as alleged in many
quarters, that Mr.. Root brought from
| New York a certain metropolitan
"high-and- mighty air. which the ill.,
habitants of small towns do not under
stand and are not disposed to tolerate.
The average statesman is man if inn
portance in his community. His con-
stttuents look up to him as a model of
wisdom and sagacity. They treat him
| with deferential respect When he
comes to Washington he is not pre-
pared to submit to hauteur and to die
tatorial treatment by any persons in
authority His previous training, the
atmosphere of admiration and venera-
| ton in which he has lived at home,
make a cold, business-like attitude ON
the part of officials appear insolent in
the extreme. Furthermore, there are
statesmen in Washington who have
spent years in the service of their coun-
try, who have had Influence" with
several administrations and have made
themselves thoroughly at home In all
departments of the government. They
can't stand frosty manners. They have
basked too long in the sunshine of Off
cial favor to put up with an iceberg In
any department of the government. II
the iceberg refuses to melt they threat
Ell to have 1t sent back to the Arctic re-
gions whence it came The preroga-
tives and the feelings of august sena-
tors and representatives must be re-
spected.
Mr. Root is interested in the passage
of legislation, which, in his opinion, will
add to the efficiency of the army. 1T
begins to look as if the senate intends
to let things remain as they are as a
rebuke to a gentleman who has ac-
quired great fame as a rebuker. Mr..
Root has been prominent in directing
the governments policy in the Philip
pines. His enemies in the republican
party say he has made mistakes which
are inexcusable. Altogether the secre-
tary Of war seems to be the target for
great deal of hostile criticism by
some of the leading statesmen of his
party Perhaps If he had been more
genial in his intercourse with them,
more deferentiaI, more effusive lin his
expressions of admiration, they would.
have overlooked his shortcomings. AS
the case now stands there seems to be
no doubt that they are after his scalp
and intend to have it, unless a mightier
power than the secretary's enemies in
tervenes In his behalf. 1t is an inter-
esting. situation. -Baltimore Sun,

SWEET AS A DREAM OF HOME.
SThus Champion Tommy" Ryan De
scrbes Being Knocked Out.

| scribes Being Knocked Out
| There is no more pleasant sensation
known to manhood than that of being
| knocked down in a boxing MATCH says
| Champion Tommy" Ryan, in the Kan
| sas City Star. ITO the tired and dis
| couraged fighter helplessly awaiting the
| end 1t is The sweetest sensation imagin-
able. The sensation a man has when
he is knocked down is about the same
as that which goes with hitting the
pipe or riding in a rubber-tired car
riage. The reaction comes when the
worsted man RECEIVERS, and it is far
from pleasant"
Regarding the knockout blow of mod
ern boxing, Ryan says, if delivered cor
rectly and at the proper angle, it is alb
solutely painless to the man who goes
down and out. The final blow used by
up-to-date boxers is not the old-time
John L. Sullivan vicious swing. 1t is a
scientific, lightning like short jab, de-
livered from a farearm action of not
more than a few inches and landed
when man is advancing to strike.
The blow and its recipient meet half
way, and the result is a sudden jar,
which, Ryan says makes the victim
enter at once upon a dream of home,
beautiful women or plate glass booze
bars just as his habits and tendencies
dictate.
There are some mistaken IDEAS about
The Knockout blow existing ia Lnt minds
of people ignorant of the ways of mod
ern boxing" said Ryan. 'People seem
to think that because a man is put out
suddenly he suffers pain in receiving
the blow. Such is not the case. When
a high-struns fighter or a tired one gets
his sleeping medicine the sensation be-
fore he dozes off might be compared to
that man who has been carrying a
milestone feels when he is relieved of
his weight. He thinks; Well, I've
done my best and it has done ma good
now I'm going to give it up and sleep.
Well, there you have the feeling of the
boxer who geese down and out The
sensation is pleasant"

PROF. EMERY'S ADDRESS
GIVEN BEFORE THE MEMS CLUE
LAST NIGHT.
Subject-He Thinks That Ignorance
and seifshness Arc the Causes of
Economic Evils, Which Can Only he

Economic Evils, Which Can Only he
The last of the series of Sunday even
ing meetings at the United church I'M
der the auspices of the Mems club was
held last evening. The subject OF the
address was Economics and Christi
Henry C. Emery, professor of political
economy at Yale. Professor Emery is
a comparatively recent addition to the
department of political science at Yale,
but is already recognized as one of its
strongest members. His paper last
night was a scholarly effort to show
that the evils of modern institutions are
not due SO much to legal and economic
institutions as to evils in the nature of
man himself. After touching briefly
upon the teachings of Christ and of the
different schools of political philosophy
since the beginning of Christianity,
Professor Emery outlined the problem
of the present and said in part;
ITO shut our eyes to present condi-
tions is impossible. To find cure for
them demands much careful research.
Various theories have been advanced
concerning the causes of the evil in our
present industrial organization. Theo-
ries ranging all the way from ultra in
dividualism and anarchy to ultra so
cialism and communism have been pro-
pounded. But neither the golden
dreams of socialists nor the Utoplan
ideas of anarchists prove sound when
analysed. The causes for economic evil
are the same as always namely, ignor-
ance and selfishness. That change in
human organization means change in
human nature is an absurdity There
are only two practical lines of reform
for present industrial conditions
knowledge for ignorance and altruism
for selfishness. This truth is so funda-
mental that it is often lost sight of
when some reform is being agitated.
When were men ever made unselfish by
an act of congress? But put the Ser
mon on the Mount into the hearts of
the people and / care not who makes
the law. What, then. is our solution to
the problem? We can have no solution
so long as the law of life is self-seek-
ing But starting with problems of an
economic nature, we are led back to the
principles of Christianity, and from the
theories of the political philosopher we
fall back in the end to the teachings of
Jesus of Nazareth"
