They Are Back Numbers.

Somebody once said that the great
men gravitste to Wall Street. The
thing was not unhappily said. Men
who have at one time or another have
been conspicuous in the public eye
pass hourly in Wall Street unnoticed.
A few examples may be noted. There
is the former Speaker of the House,
Thomas Bracket ("Czar") Reed. now
a member of the law firm of Reed,
Simpson, Thatcher & Bynum, corpor-
alton attorneys. His office is 25
Broad street, in one of the newest
and biggest sky scrapers of the Wall
Street district. He comes and goes
without anybody's turning to look af-
ter him. Even in Washington where
the throng is used to the sight of
celebrities, Reed was always noticed,
partly on account of his conspicuous
personality, but in Wall Street no.
body pays him the slightest heed as
he passes to and fro.
Complete oblivion, so far as the
throng is concerned, has befallen
John G. Carlisle, who, now bent and
old. is jostled in eating and drinking
places, in elevators and busy corri-
dors, like any ordinary person with
out fame. He is practicing law, too,
but indiferently, from all accounts.
Then there is the former Vice
President of the United States, Levi
P. Morton, now president of the
trust company bearing his name
Mr.. Morton, of course. was a big
man in Wall Street before he became
a big man in politics, but nobody in
the financial world pays any greater
attention to him now for his having
once been Vice President.
Former Secretary of the Treasury
Lyman G. Gage, would serve as an
other example. In Wall street to-
day he is not a whit more prominent
than any one Of two hundred other
bankers and not half as prominent
as either of four or five who might
be mentioned.

A Remarkable Case.

An exchange states that one of the
most remarkable cases ever tried was
recently settled at Decatur. A young
man bought 1000 cigars and had
them insured for their full value,
smoked them up and then demanded
his insurance, claiming that they had
been destroyed by fire. The case
was taken to court and the judge de-
cided in favor of the man. The com.
pany then had the young man arrest
ed for setting fire to his own property
and the same judge ordered that he
pays fine or go to jail for six months.

From the Atchison. Kan., Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awaken
ed in the middle of the night by q
whoop from one of the children.
The Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group, IS
q revolver is sure to be lost in case
Of burglars. There used to be an
old fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost 30 much.
It causes the patient to "throw up
the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief
in q shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack. It
never fails and is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by J. E: Kauf-

influential parent toward the election
of the would be politician, or his
friend or relation as stated above.
Such school officials are simply using
the public school money for the at
tainment of their own selfish aims
and ends.
End. Social Influences. Is it pos
sible that any school Trustee would
or could so completely forget, not
only his imperative duties, but more,
his sworn duties, as to let desire to
advance some member of his family
in the social world influence his vote
iu the selection of a teacher? Sad is
the thought but there is. Now, how
is this done? We, as we'll as the old
countries across the sea, have fathers
and mothers who make strenuous
efforts to consummate and bring to
iual reality matrimonial alliances for
their sons and daughters and in
stances have come under our person
al observation where (as silly as it
may seem aud as absurd as it may
sound) the simple fact that of a
Trustees son paying court to some
lady who was a teacher secured for
her the irfuence of the young mans
father and secured her the school.
Again, I have known more than
one teacher who wanted some good
position the next year to pay very
marked attention to some Trustees
daughter where it would have the
proper effect and thereby secure his
Influence as in the case stated above:
Now, does this seem entirely too pu-
silamous to be true and yet (shame
be to it) such is frequently the case.
3rd. A direct dollar. and cent in
fuence. Horrors of horrors! Yes!
A few years ago a teacher (not in
Lexington county though) when ask
ed by your correspondent whether or
not he had anything to do with teach
er's agencies, said he had not as he
had q much better scheme. When
asked what it was. said that all school
boards were rot angel bands nor indi-
vidual members of it all angels every
time either. That some good agencies
want about five per cent. of my SAL
ary, while I can take about two and
half per cent. of the same and
place it at the right place as bait
and 1t Will secure me the IDhuence or
q member that will secure me the
position.
Again, in conversation with GER
tain Trustee where We knew there
had been two applications for the
school, We asked how it came that
the one got it that did and received
for an answer that one would board
with him while the other would have
come from home and, therefore, would
not have left any of the money in the
district, (of course he meant his
own pooket.) Growler.

The Mayors Proclamation Regarding
 Them

The Mayors Proclamation Regarding Them. ,a r. . Mayor Studley yesterday issued a proclamation in reference to bonfires on July f. He does not prohibit bonfires, but he places them under certain regu- lations, so that they may not set fire to houses, and stealing of property for fuel may be prevented. -@ ~sf. 1a~4~>s .F@-
 The proclamation follows. s@.-9,.
 Following the custom which has been in vogue since the announcement of the Declaration of Independence, several bonfires will be permitted in the city, but only in such localities as have the approval of the chief of the fire depart ment and the chief of the police depart ment.
 -"Citizens living in any locality where bonfire is contemplated should, by a committee, make application to the chief of the fire department and chief of the police department, giving the lo- cation and names of committees pro- posing to take charge of the bonfire. If the location is approved bonfire there will be permitted, but not otherwise.
 "A policeman will be detailed to each bonfire to note the articles brought in and who brings them, in order to pre- vent the wrongful taking of property and to see that the bonfires are not al- lowed to exceed reasonable limit. These precautions are taken to aid the fire department in protecting the city from fire"

appointed by the court to defend the boys.
 Thomas Lane. charged with theft on April 20, pleaded not guilty and Attor- 1 ney Elliott was appointed to defend him.
 Sanford Lockwood and Willis c. Mun- son, two Meriden boys, charged with arson, were called next and the former pleaded guilty and the latter not guilty. l Sentence in LockwOod's case was defer red, and Attorney Church was appoint | ed counsel for Munson. The boys are charged with setting fire to a public building on the evening of April 2S.
 Edward Markle, charged with theft on four different occasions. pleaded not guilty to each count and Lawyer A. 4. filling was appointed counsel. The thefts occurred as far back as 1895.
 Andrew Meleno of Derby, who was caught in the act os opening one of the 1 windows of shop in that city, was discharged on the recommendation of the states attorney. MT. Williams said that Meleno's act was suspicious one but that no real crime could be lodged against him.
 The next prisoner was Joseph Mer- sick, sailor, whose home is in Madison. Mersick is charged with theft from person, and when asked to plead to the charge said guilty to a certain ex- tent" He then asked if he could make astatement to the court and the request was granted Mersick said that on the evening of November 3. 1901, he and a friend named George W. GOodale went for ride and stopped at several places to get drinks. On the trip hOmeWard both Mersick and his frniend were drunk and some time during the ride Mersick took s150, a silver watch valued at $10 from the clothes of Goodale, and left Goodale in the wagon, too drunk to know what had happened. Mersick said that he took the money to keep for Goodale, hut that he went to Branford and before he knew it the money and watch that he had taken from Goodale were stolen from him. He also said that 8 sum of money of his own was taken at the time he was relieved of Goodale's and that he was in such a condition that he could not tell who took the goods.
 He went to sea after that, got ship wrecked and taken to New York, from which port he again set sail and after being out for long time got back to this country and settled down with the hope of earning money enough to pay back Goodale. He said he worked for E. c. Rowe and the Smedley company, and mentioned them as references. The court heard his story and postponed sentence.
 Henry Mills and Kate Wirt, charged with adultery in Meriden, pleaded not guilty and Attorney Fitzgerald was ap- pointed counsel.
 James Munroe of Providence was then called to answer to the charge of burg lary in Meriden, at the. home of Mrs. Kate Dean and he at first pleaded not guilty. He later changed his plea and

STATE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.

Superintendent Linsley of the free employment bureau forwarded his re- port for the month of June to Hartford yesterday morning. It shows a healthy increase in the business of the office for the month. During that period 200 men and 1S7 women applied for work at the bureau. In the same applications were received from 66 people who wanted to hire men, and from 121 who wanted fe- male help. Superintendent ,Linsley was able to find places for 7S men and 112 women, total of t90 for the month.
 This is the largest number of situa- tions secured since the bureau was es- tablished, just a year ago yesterday. Last month situations were provided for 1S2 persons. The number of anpli- cants in May was BIT, as against 3S7 in June.
 The superintendent says there has been falling off in the number of ap- plications for help from the factories and large business houses. The gener- al tone of the work of the. office is con- stantiy improving and many first class hands in different departments of work have been provided with situations. %

THOSE WHO CANNOT EAT AND
 DIGEST FOOD.

Mother Seigel made a discovery which is destined to accomplish much good. Realizing that three-fourths of all our sufferings arise from stomach troubles, that the country is literally filled with people who cannot eat and digest food. without subsequently, suffering pain and distress, and that many are starving, wasting to mere skeletons, because their food does them no good, she devoted much study and thought to the subject, and the result was the discovery of Mother Seigers Curative Syrup. Sold at Druggists.
 we have used Mother Seigers Cura- tive Syrup in our family for three years. My husband was very sick with Malaria and our attention was called to this medicine. He decided to try it. After taking two bottles of it he was cured. Later, I was run down and took it as tonic and it cured me. I cheerfully recommesd q it as an invalu- able medicine" Mrs. J.

Owing to a complaint being drawn il- legally the cases in Cheshire against Gilbert Williams, John Lower and Chris Root, charged with killing a deer in North Cheshire on June 9, were dismiss ed Monday at a hearing before Justice B. w. Francis. The prosecution was represented by Attorneys Morris Bier kan and Smith of this city, by Sheriff Beach, game warden of New Have, and by Sheriff Rarmetti. game warden of Waterbury.
 When the cases were called Attorney D. Coleman of Cheshire, who appeared for the prisoners, filed a demurrer, claiming the court had no Jurisdiction because the grand juror who drew the complaint failed to qualify before the town clerk. Justice Francis sustained the demurrer.
