DON'T CARE F YOU DONT'
Strikers Statement Jumps On
 the Morning Paper.

It Says Said Paper Is for the Laboring
 Man for Revenue Only-The State
 ment Looks Forward to A. M.
 Young's Return and Hopes That His
 Coming Will Settle Two Strikes.
 The strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement-the 138th-this afternoon:
 Our worthy morning paper, which appears with the union label at the head of its editorial page every day, usually with a roast underneath of everything that is friendly to labor, announces this morning that hereafter 1t will 'tedit'' our statement and pub fish what 1t sees fit of It. As far as we are concerned, we frankly state that we don't care an iota if the Re publican leaves out the statement all together. We don't send copy of the statement to the Republican. 1t gets it out of the two evening papers or the Naugatuck News, the three papers we furnish with copies thereof. It is amusing to us to note the way Tn which the Republican gets away with its roasts upon labor, by stating how friendly it is to nice laboring men and pointing to the fact that all of the printers on that paper are union men. You bet they are. And you bet the Republican thinks 1t wise to float that union label over its chief page. We could see the finish of the paper if things were otherwise. Monetary consideration rather than love for the laboring element, in our opinion, keeps the paper referred to in it's present at Htude. As 1t is, 1aboring men that we meet have already determined the prin- ciples of the Republican, as that paper can undoubtedly vouch for. Tn clos ing up our little argument with the Republican, we will state that we don't want now, and never expected from that paper, everything on our side. If we had received fair play we would never have kicked.
 Despite the misstatements that have been sent broadcast, like many before them, to the effect that some of the local labor organizations had de serted us in our battle for justice, we wish to inform our friends that there is absolutely no truth dn these fake ru- mors. and we are being encouraged substantially and morally at the pres ent time better than we have at any time since we went out.
 We understand that A. NJ. Young, president of the trolley company, who has been in Europe for some time, is now en route to the United States, hav- ing decided to return much earlier than at first contemplated Who knows but what this may be a move toward a settlement of two strikes that have paralyzed Connecticut and caused g. lot of unnecessary unpleasantness?

, THREE ISLANDS SEIZED.
England Got Tn Her Work Before the
 French Government.


 Tahiti, May 15. San Francis co, May 2S.-Information received on the best authority confirms the rumor that three small islands near Pitcairn were seized by England recently. It appears that they were regarded by British Consul Simons at Tahiti as valuable, anticipating the completion of the Panama canal He was under the impression that sooner or later the French government might annex them, and so, without waiting for definite in- sstructions from his government, he sent MT Mccoy, the English resident on Pitcairn island, to take over three islands for the British government. Later an English man-of-war, at MT SimOnss request, went from Tahiti to the new possessions and completed certain formalities. When the action was reviewed by the British foreign office, the consul received full approba- ton for his forethought. Ducie island has safe harbor and Elizabeth is- land has many attractive features. There are no inhabitants in the group.
 Colonial troops are to be withdrawn from Tahati in the near future. They are considered to be wholly unneces- sary to this colony and are Of great burden upon the treasury.

MEN OF EDUCATION NEEDED.
Output of Technical Schools and Col

Output of Technical Schools and Col
 leges Not Equal to Demand
 Chicago, May 28.-Men of education are needed to drag men of experience out of the rut, according to Charles F. Scott of Pittsburg, who has addressed the National Electric Light association now in session here,
 'sI can easily recall the time when a college education @was counted against the man who applied for work with manufacturing company" said MT Scott. Now the output of the cleo trical courses of our technical schools and colleges is not equal to the de- mand
 'aThe man who has good, active mind and sound theoretical basis with even a small measure of practical experience, is capable of dealing with new questions in an intelligent way. One of the differences between the old time practical man and the young edu- eated engineer Is that the former is capable simply of doing over and over what he has done before, while the young man has a power which enables him to take up new problems''

 Boonton, N. J., May 2s.-Because their principal has been forced by the board of education to resign, 15O boys and girls of the High school have gone on strike and refuse to go to school A majority of the citizens of the place think the action of the board in fore, ing out the principal is an outrage and much excitement prevails. Nearly 100 boys paraded the streets as a demon station against the action of the board and the new principal. J. M.

RAzING OLD DAND MARK.
The ScoviH Residence is Pretty Well
 Demolished

g u The ScoviH Residence is Pretty Well
 Demolished.
 The Salvation Army has succeeded in levelKng the Scovin residence at the corner of West Main and Prospect streets and the work of disposing of the tinbers is being pushed, although there is;a large quantity of it on the ground still. It is being sold cheap enough. but the expense of hauling it is so great it is not going so fast as one might suppose, though, to be sure, some of 1t is disappearing every day and in time not 8 ,vestige of the old landmark will be on the premises. The house has stood there for over a cen tlry, saw the eIms on the green grow from saplings to huge proportions, no ticed many other wonderful changes in it's immediate neighbo borhood, aNd if it could only get dtseh together some day in the near future and take peep at the building that will grace the spot it has so long occupied it might be surprised why it was allowed to re main there until this hour of the day
 People expected great things from the rain this morning, but although it gave promise of making up for lost time it did not amount to much, just about enough to settle the dust and hardly that, for the streets were all most as dry as ever this afternoon. But perhaps everybody should be than1uful for what we have received and trust to Providence for more after Decora- ton day.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.
Destruction of Lives and Property wal
 Modernize Inhabitants.


 San Francisco, May 28.-J. Lamb Doty, formerly United States consul at Tahiti, was passenger on the steam CT Mariposa, which has just arrived. Fifteen years residence at Papote has faniliarized him with conditions in that part of the world. The recent tidal wave, disastrous as it was to life and property in islands adjacent to Ta- hiti, seems to be the means, thinks the former consul, of putting insl1lar busi- ness methods on an up-to-date basis
 'sThe catastrophe was in itself a most lamentable occurrence" said MT Doty, ssbut the tragedy was not with out it's good effects. The destruction of lives and property will be followed, believe, by the wiping out of the old slipshod methods of doing business. Tahiti has wonderful agricultural re sources, and I see great future for her and her South sea sisters under the magic hand of modern business methods"
