CULTUR BUT NOT SNOBBISH

CULTURED, BUT NOT SNOBBISH
 Chicago is cultured and she modestly admits that she is, but she hasn't got to the point where she despises trade, So Mayor Carter H. Harrison, who is a, lawyer and a. real estate man when he isn't a politician, has made a decided stir by talking about his Republican competitor for the mayoralty as "the man who sells beans and dried apples" /" Graeme Stewart. the man so talked about, is wholesale grocer and Harri- sons remarks about him may make him mayor if Chicago continues to be as mad about them as she seems to be now. Before Harrison made his ill-ad- vised speech, about 1,5OO Chicago gro cers were enrolled in a Graeme Stewart club. Now about 5000 of them are en- rolled in 'bean and dried apple" club. Chicago business men who are not grocers share the grocers' resentment. Many thousands oe them are in the Graeme Stewart clubs. The city papers are candidly telling Harrison that he has made a fool of himself. Never be- fore,' says one of them, "has candi- date for mayor of Chicago seen fit to sheer at men in trade. There would be no municipal life in Chicago without trade. It is the reason for the existence of the tity.'
 And 50 forth and so on. Mayor Harri- son has made an astonishing blunder and perhaps the gods are after him. A ! city based on the liveliest kind of trade can't afford to look down on beans and 1 dried apples, and Chicago doesn't.

tired with honor and full pay to pass the remainder of its days, or centuries, as a relic of one of the greatest charac- ters this country has ever produced. It is a formidable looking weapon, origi- nally of the fiintlock type. with forty calibre bore. The barrel was originally forty inches long, but some of il has been cut off. and it is now only forty and one-half inches. It was pre- sented to David Crockett soon after his second election to congress, in 1929. by some of his admiring young Whig friends of Philadelphia. It cost two hundred and fifty dollars, and was made especially for him. The donors raised the money by contributing fifty cents each to the fund. The stock is trimmed in sterling silver, appropriate ly designed, with figures of the Goddess of Liberty, a raccoon, a deer's head and other figures Along the upper part of the barrel are the letters, set into the metal in gold, some of which has worn out: Presented by the young men of Philadelphia to the Hon. David Crockett, of Tennessee" In similar letters near the muzzle are the words: ''Go ahead. .''-Memphis Com mercial-Appeal.

Stories of Old New Haven
By ERNEST H. BALDWIN. :.


 To all who cherish the traditions of old New England this attractive book will be q delight, and to those who have any interest in the beautiful City of Elms,'' it will appeal with especial force. With simpli- city of style and language, combining pe- culiar interest and clearness, these stories relate to the history of the founding and growth of the old New England town. The reader joins the little band of Puritan state founders, under John Davenport and The ophilus Eaton, crosses the ocean with them, and watches them as they build their settle ment at Quinnipiac "four-square.' The sad event made familiar by Longfellow's poem of the Phantom Ship" is q touching episode. The story of the hiding of the Regicides, of the founding of Yale College and of the British attack of 1T19, are of great interest and preserve those fine tra- ditions which are the common inheritance of the whole nation. Original illustrations and an appendix containing guide to the places of historic Interest in the city add to the value of the book.

moment for Ellington.

moment for Ellington.
 Of course the Spaniards were more fortunate in their geographical posi- ton. It turned out that it was the Pa- cific that they saw from their peak of Darien: while Billington'es Sea does not grow on acquaintance.
 But my heart goes out to Ellington He also was discoverer, according to his lights. He belonged to hardy breed, and could stare on new scenes with the best of them. It was not his fault that the Pacific was not there. If it had been, Ellington would have dis covered it. We know perfectly we'll that the Pacific ocean does not lave the shores of Plymouth county, and so we should not go out into the woods on a fine morning to look for it. There is where Ellington had the advantage of us.-S. M. Brothers in the Atlantic.

THE ARRESTS IN WATERBURY.

It has been so very quiet in Water bury lately that some have thought that the efforts to find those guilty of the crimes that have been committed there were neither active nor success full But it is now evident that a great deal has been done in the quiet time As a result of the work eighteen arrests have been made, and more are expect ed. While most of the talk in connec- tion with these arrests is concerning the assault with intent to kill on a non- union conductor, it is more than hinted that there will soon be news concern ing the perpetrators of the assault that did kill Policeman Mendelssohn.
 It is much to be hoped that in the contest between the law and the Wa tefbury criminals the law will be thor oughly vindicated. Waterbury has been disgraced and Connecticut has been disgraced by those criminals. It is en- couraging that some of them have been caught. It will be more encouraging when all of them have been caught and have been punished in accordance with law. The right to strike and to sympa- thize with strike doesn't include the right to do such deeds as have been done in Waterbury, and all Connecticut is deeply interested in having that made entirely plain.

ENC ND,S FOOD SUPPLT,

England is still agitated over the
 question of her food supply in time of
 war, and she certainly has cause to be.
 It is pointed out that during the five
 years between 1852 and 1857, which in cluded the period of the Crimean war,
 England imported 26 per cent, of her. consumption of wheat and flour; in the five years from 1896 to 1901, which in- cluded the Boer war, she imported 75 per cent. As the result of several meetings attended and addressed by leading members of parliament and of the commercial bodies, a programme of agitation has been decided upon, de- signed to awaken the whole people, particularly in the agricultural districts, to the danger which lies in a possible collision with a rival naval power. An effort will be made to stimulate the farmers to devote a larger acreage to wheat and go more literally into the business of cattle-raising. In some quarters there has been an attempt to arouse popular sentiment in favor of a protective tariff on food products; but this idea has been so fought by the labor leaders throughout the country, on the ground that the working people cannot afford to have the prices of their i food increased, that it has been dropped as impracticable. A better reception

has met the suggestion Of system of bounties to wheat growers and cattle raisers. The present indications are that parliament will provide for the appointment of a royal commission to study the situation and recommend means for it's improvement.
 Perhaps it will be found that Eng land can't improve her own food sup ply much. IL is fortunate for her that she has a great and good friend in the United States.

ELLINGTON AND HIS SEA"

Two or three miles back of Plymouth, Mass, is a modest little pond called Billingtons Sea. Ellington, an adven- turous Pilgrim, had climbed tree, and looking westwards had caught sight of the shimmering water. He looked at it with a wise surmise, and then the con- viction flashed upon him that he had discovered the goal of hardy mariners the great South Sea. That was a great

WHAT CAN ANDIS DONE,


 The London Times is printing Mar conigraph dispatches, and has made a contract with the Marconi company for the, daily transmission of news from the United States to England. This shows what can be done right in the face of much saying that it can't be done Awhile ago scientists were calling the Marconi method of telegraphy imprac- ticable for purposes of transoceanic communication. It was all right, they said, for use on ships that wanted to talk to other ships in mid-Atlantic, or for connecting incoming and outgoing steamers with shore stations in their immediate vicinity. The value of it to Warships in action or in maneuvering was likewise admitted, and it was ac- knoWledged to be perfectly feasible over land routes. But when it came to circling great segment of the globe, that was very different matter. There were storms and electrical disturb ances, and the danger of messages in- tended for one point being intercepted by the wrong station or by some float ing plant. And the scientists were not the only ones who were sure that the Marconi method wasn't going to be very important. Managers of the old line telegraph systems did not fear it, or at least, pretended not to- But it is evident now that it is going to amount to something.

The primitive Indian method of irri- gating wide stretches of rice fields is still popular at Medak. The nizam's subjects use bamboo baskets, and su- perstitiously hold aloof from new tangled improvements. Early in the morning hundreds hurry into the fields, every two carrying between them a closely plaited bamboo basket and sus- pended long ropes. Arrived at the canal or spring, the men range themselves in two lines, with the baskets suspended over the water. At a given signal a delft twist fills the first basket, and the first pair trot off to the irrigating trenches, and in few minutes the whole column is on the go. Each couple deftly toss the water into the troughs or trenches, hardly slackening speed. The work goes on from dawn until dark. An average pair will carry 800 gallons a day.

Apprentices ranging ill stature from 6 feet to feet are included among those on the United States training ship Monongahela. When Rear Ad- miral Coghlan visited the vessel off, cially not long ago he was saluted by half a dozen giants on stepping on board. The same number of pygmies had the post of honor when he was leaving some hours later. The admiral commented on the difference as he was taking leave of his old friend, Captain Rees, who assured him that they were the same apprentices.

SCHEME TO SAVE MURDERER,
Bill Before Wyoming Legislature to
Abolish Death Penalty.

Cheyenne. Feb. T.-An innocent APP
pearing bill introduced in the wyoming
legislature on January 81 is now credit
ed with having for its purpose the saw
ing of the life Of Tom Horn. convicted
of the murder of Willie Nickel and
who is now under sentence Of death.
The bill abolished capital punishment
and becomes operative against all sem
tences of death already pronounced and
not executed at the passage of the act.
The bill changes the punishment for
crimes now punishable by death TO life
Imprisonment but seems TO apply only
to crimes to be committed in the future.
1t is claimed by some that should II
pass, Horn could be released from
prison on habeas corpus proceedings
but the life imprisonment clause is not
retroactive, as is the clause abolishing
capital punishment and there would be
no law under which Horn could be
held.
The bill is in the hands of the judic-
larry committee, the chairman OF which
was one Of Horns attorneys at the
time of the trial.
